ARRIVED FROM
THE OUTSIDE

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. ID. Lane arrived
on the Oregon. Both are in excellent
health and both were pleased to return
to Nome, Mrs. Lane being especially
enthusiastic. Mr.. Lane stated that
there was nothiug new in the compa-
ny's plans for the summer. Work will
be pushed along the usual lines on the
Wild Goose Co.'S different claims. Mr..
Lane will probably visit the Tanana
country in the course of few weeks.
Speaking of the Hurrah quartz mine,
in which she is interested, Mrs. Lane
said that ten additional stamps would
be added to the mill at once, and three
miles of pipe laid to furnish water for
operating the mill during the open sea-
son. 1--WE are delighted" said Mrs.
Lane, with the way the mine has
shown up, and the work Of the mill,
which ran steadily all last winter. Our
faith in the mine is shown by the big
improvements which will begin on the
arrival of our machinery and supplies,
which will be in few days"

faith in the time honored democratic
principle of local self-government. We
denounce the practice of the Republic
can party in governing Alaska by offici-
ais imported from abroad, who have no
interest in the country, or the people
whose laws they administer. and which
makes of our citizens mere colonists,
governed by central authority, five
thousand miles away, whose agents are
more interested in getting the most out
of the salaries and prerequisites of office
than in an honest and fair administra-
ton of the laws. And as specific
remedy for the evils from which we
have been and are suffering in this re-
spect, we demand that those who adj
minister the laws in Alaska, be appoint
ed from among the citizens of Alaska,
that we be given territorial form OF
government; that our own representa-
tive may enact our own laws: and a
delegate in congress to represent our
interests in the national legislature.
Third, We commend and endorse the
candidacy for the Presidency of the
Honorable Alton b. Parker, of New
York.
Fourth, Our delegation to the nation
al democratic convention is instructed
to vote as a unit on all questions COM
ing before the convention, and to sup
port such candidate for the presidency
as in their judgment represents the
conservative democracy of the nation,
and will develop the greatest strength
at the polls in November.

An old musician told me an Incl

great violinist was visiting friends in
the suburbs of London, at the house of
a lady whose religious ideas were Sc

to play on the Sabbath day. "Vy,"
asked Paganini, "ef re Sabbat mos be

BOYS Who Made Great Men.

A Swedish boy fell out of a window
and was badly hurt, but with clenched
lips he kept back the cry of pain. The
King Gustavus Adolphus, who saw the
body fall, prophesied that the boy
would make a man for an emergency.
He did, for he became the famous
General Bauer.
A boy used TO crush the flowers to
get their color, and painted the white
side OF his fathers cottage in the Tyrol
with all sorts of pictures, which the
mountaineers gazed at as wonderful.
He was the great artist, Titan.

Odd Cat Facts.

A good cat-the kind you want to
have in the house, if any-will have q
round stubby pug nose, full, fat cheeks
and upper lip, and we'll developed
bump on the top of the head between
the ears, betokening good nature. A
sleepy cat that purs good deal is apt
to be playful and good natured. By
all means to be avoided is cat with
thin, sharp nose and twitching ears.
1t must be remembered also that a
good mouser is not necessarily a gentle
or desirable pet. Although any good
cat will catch mice if she is not over.
fed, quick, full, expressive eyes, gcner-
ally betoken a good mouser. The
great mistake and probably the most
common one in the care of domestic
cats is overfeeding, particularly too
much meat In wild life, the cat has
exercise which enables her to digest
her flood; in the lazy house life, the
full feeding leads to stomach troubles
and to fits.

gressive communities in the Eastern
and Middle Western States and has
worked satisfactorily.
The people in township should
have the right to vote their taxes for
the improvement OF roads and building
bridges in their respective localities.
The town meetings would afford the
voters opportunities for the canvassing
and discussion of local measures and
properly apply their energies for the
public good.
1t would seem to me that taxpayers
living in a given community can do
better service in this direction, than a
county board at a distance, who are
more or less unfamiliar with the situa-
ton, granting that the members are
honest, which is not always the case.
The trouble is County Commission
ers have too much power under exist.
ing laws, and the people too little
chance to improve conditions in their
own neighborhood.

The teacher, seeing it, called him
up. William, did you write that"
she asked.
" Yes, ma'am," said Billy.
"Well, you can stay in a iter school,, y

The children waited for Billy to
come out when they began to guy
him. "Got licken', didn't ye?"
Nope" said Bill.

NO UNBELlEf.

There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants seed beneath the sod
And waits % see it push away the clod,
He trusts III God.
Whosoever says,
When clouds are i'll the sky,
Be patient heart light breaketh by and
bye,
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees,
Meath Winters field of snow,
The silent harvest of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down
On his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber
deep,
knoweth God will keep.
Whoever says,
Tomorrow, the Unknown,
The Future" trusts that Power alone
He dares not disown.
The heart that looks on
When the eyelids close,
And dares to live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There's no unbeliei;
And day by day, and night, unconsciously
The heart lives by the faith the lips deny,
God knoweth why.
