Five totem pole carvers and painters
from the far North arrived at the Worlds
Fair grounds yesterday in charge of D.
W. Fayles Of Juneau. a member of the
Alaskan Commission. They are John Ba-
ronovich, John Narwishkay, William f.
kinninook. Tod Yealtazaria and L. Yeal-
tazaria
The twenty-five totem poles destined to
form half circle in front of the Alaskan
building were somewhat damaged in
transit, and as every stroke of carving
and each touch of paint has a deep sig
nificance, these native artists have been
brought to the Exposition to touch up the
wounded spots on the poles.
While the artists still remember the re-
ligious customs of savagery they are all
members of the Presbyterian Church
which has many branches in Alaska.
Both the main tribes of Southern Alaska
the Hydahs and Thlinkets. are represent
ed IN the party. All of them are skilled in
totem pole lore of the tribes and between
the two tribes represented they will be
able to put in repair even the poles of
tribes living nearest the North Pole.

These men come from the lower part of
/ the Alaskan Territory. where only four
months of spring and summer prevail.
There is a season of from six to eight
months when the ground is covered with
snow, and the bays are icebound. In the
winter the men fish and hunt, while in
the short summer they work in the car
ming factories to the south. coming 400 or
500 miles to work and staying until the
season is over.
They are expert canoeists and navigate
the inlets of the coast in frail sealskin
canoes that must be taken out of the
water every day and dried or the seams
open and the craft fills with water.
Four OF the men can speak intelligible
English, while Boronovich has scarcely
any accent to tell his origin. The younger
members of the party were profoundly
impressed with the size and grandeur of
the Fair buildings. although l. Yealtaza-
ria, the 'old man" of the party, kept
StOlid front.
The totem poles that they will put into
shape for the Fair are of great value. and
a decision of 81 200 damages was recently
rendered in the Seattle Wash. courts
against some Curio-seekers who took one
of the poles away without the Indians
permission.

Windsor, H., March 4.-Terrified by the

walked in the darkness.
The object seemed to shrink from him as
he touched it. and he investigated to find
that 1t was the dead body of his son Earl,
who had been struck by a lightning bolt
The father. and one of his other sons.
William, quickly carried the body to a
nearby house and attempted to bring

The elder johnson and William remained
at the store longer than usual last night
because of the storm. The gale and the
downpour had not ceased at 10 o'clock and
together the men started to their. home.
about ten blocks away.
The light of lantern which they car
r!ed was extinguished by a gust of wind,
and with nothing TO guide them they
wandered from their path into an unfre-
Quented street. They did not know OF
their mistake until a great flash lighted
up the country. The thunder clap which
followed struck terror to their hearts.
1t was not loud enough. however. to
drown the sound of human voice, which
both men declare they heard. but to which
they paid no attention.
AS they went back to the street leading
to their home the father stumbled He
was filled with curiosity, and, notwith-
standing the storm. the lantern was light

the identity OF the lightning's victim.
The body was near n tree, which had
been struck The holt had glanced from
its trunk. The hat and shoes of the dead
man were torn to shreds, and there were
large black spots OH his cheeks and fore
head.
Johnsons family say that when the
storm was at its fiercest Earl johnson
became alarmed at the absence of his
father and brother, and started to the
store, against the wishes OF his rela-
tives. He had almost reached it when
his death occurred.

1T is with pleasure that 1 write this
testimonial in behalf of my daughter,
Lillian. who was very sick. Our doctors
said her blood had turned to sugar at the
critical time of womanhood. She could
not walk or stand, but had to lie in bed

worse all along. i was anxious about her;
in fact, all our family were almost crazy
to think she would die so young.

Greene's Neryura blood and nerve remedy
that I went and got bottle. On the sec
ond day l saw an improvement in her con-
dition. ] was overjoyed and kept on and
got another bottle. and when the second
bottle was used she apparently came back
to life.
/ am sure that DIR. Greene's Nervura saved
her life. This was some three years ago
and now she is well and strong. i say GOD
bless DR.. Greene and his wonderful medi-
cine, and / will praise 1t to all the world
all the rest of my life for saving my
daughters life to me-"
II is wonderful what benefit this young
girl derived in so short a time from Dr
Greene's Nervura. the great blood ana
nerve remedy. If you have daughter
who is suffering in such manner. can
you doubt that this grand medicine is Just
what she needs? You can make no mls,
