LOCAL JAIL
 NOW EMPTY

he guards at the Zoo are carrying the water used in the institution, for the first time since the jail was in- stalled in Rampant, and used as means to graft from Uncle Sans treasury. With the exception of Harry Owens, held for new trial, the institution is empty.
 Iu IS safe to say had deputy-marshal George Dreibelbis remained here no such condition of affairs could possibly exist-not at least, while an Indian was to be found who would take Dreibelbis' money, and buy whisky where he was told, while Dreibelbis hid unoer bed, behind door, or in the slop barrel. The Indian had to be carefully coached besides-might catch the wrong man.
 At one time ten percent of the pop ulation of tine Rampant district were in- carcerated, and enjoying the fare pro- vided by the energetic deputy, under sentences ranging from three months to one year. The star offender was old Thompson, who was a remarkably light eater. He was serving sentence of a year for committing breach of trust on a $3 watch belong ing to an Indian who gave it to him to trade for whisky. He knew it was job to catch him, but he accepted the watch; traded 1t Tor whis- ky-and drank it himself. But, alas! it made no difference, they charged him with embezzlement of the watch. No Jury-one year. Thompson declared he got six mcnths extra, for trying to keep out of jail.
 Immediately on the release of Thom- pson this summer, committee of citi- zens, taking advantage of the absence of the deputy and the commits. oner at Fairbanks, took him in charge and start ed him down-river with a warning new CT to come back. Thus one steady board CT was chased away, after his two years board had cost the government nearly $2,O00. Dreibelbis ran the boarding ad- junct to the jail, and chargeu the gov etnment $1 meal for each prisoner; serving three squares day.

The Song of The Official Crook

Alaska forum., 1904-10-22

Life is real, life is earnest,
 And the man is lost who shirks; But the fellow starts the doings
 In the banks who takes the works Tell me not in mournful numbers
 How to live life as l should; Life consists of doing people
 When you do them, do them good. Dust thou art, to dust returnest.
 Was not spoken of the soul, If it was, it matters little, If we only graft the Pole. Be not like dumb, driven cattle
 If you are you will be chatfed, Get into the gay procession
 Watch us work our many gratis. Every minute yields a sucker
 'Tis statement that is plain; And if bait Is often freshened,
 All the old ones bite again.

TO SAVE YOUNG GIRLS
HUMANE SOCIETY WILL USE SPE-
CIAL OFFICER TO KEEP THEM
OFF THE STREETS.

Young girls without proper escorts
will be kept off the streets at night if
the plans Of the Humane society do not
miscarry. - r.
For several months the number Of
young girls on the streets has been the
source of trouble and complaints have
been made at police headquarters. Su-
perintendent Conroy has issued orders
to patrolmen to pick UP young girls
found out alone at night, but the orders
have not resulted in improvement. At
last the Humane society has decided
to take the matter in hand. :
The plan, which was originated by
Miss Vera Bean, secretary of the So
ciety, is to employ an additional officer
who shall be on duty from noon until
midnight, and whose special work shall
be to investigate the cases of all young
girls found out alone. This officer will
have special police power, and will ar
rest all girls found out after they have
been warned to keep Off the streets.
* For some time we have felt the
need Of taking such a step,' said Miss
Bean today. "The number of young
girls who roam the streets at night is
something terrible. We have done the
best we could in dealing with them, but
it uphill work. The police do what they
can to aid us, but we have concluded
that we must have a special officer tc
deal with them. The new officer will
cost us about 5000 a year, but T am sure
that when the people of Minneapolis
learn what we are undertaking, they
will come. to our aid and will subscribe
the additional 5000 needed for>fhis de
Dartment. - ~

rather an increase.
When Mr.. Davis was in Boston, 1,197
Italian immigrants landed from the Ro-

sengers, 155 second cabin, and the rest

tanned because he did not have suffi-
cient funds to carry him thru to New
York. He was dressed in a tall biretta
and flowing gown, ana his black beard
and dignifed mien marked him from the
rest of the steerage passengers.
From Boston sources Mr.. Davis
learned that there was an immense Chi

the situation. The smuggling is re-

A FATHERS VIGIL
BY HIS. DEAD BOY
T. q. RIsUM SPENDS TERRIBLE
NIGHT ON ALBERTA PRAIRIEs.
His 14-Year-Old Son Was Mortally
Wounded and Died in His Fathers
Arms Before Help Came-Fatal Out
come of a Family Hunting Party.

A dispatch to The Journal from
Calgary today tells of terrible night
which T. G. Risum, formerly Of Bloom
ington avenue, Minneapolis. spent with
his dead son on the prairie, fifteen miles
northwest of Claresholm, Alberta. The
boy was accidentally shot, and while
his sister, who went for physician,
lost her way and drove blindly across
the country in the dark, the father held
the boy in his arms until his life ebbed
out, and then remained with the corpse
until daylight showed the way to the
girl and the doctor and brought them to
the scene. -. .... ,@-#-| ...a... 49,. !. .-.
The father and the two children,
Walter, IA years old, and Stella,7a year
younger, went out from Claresholm to
the foothills for hunt. The boy was
the first to see a covey of chickens rise
near the buggy, and in his excitement
grabbed the gun from beneath the seat.
He took hold of the barrel and the ham
mer caught on rod. The gun was dis
charged, and the load of shot entered
his breast on the right side. The boy
did not fall, but stood sturdily, trying
to talk to convince his father and sister
that his injury was not serious. The sis
ter leaped into the buggy and drove for
a doctor, nine miles away, leaving her
father with her brother, who fell weak
from the loss of blood just as she de-
parted. e,s. .s..-.
1t was thrilling ride the girl made
over the prairie. Altho the horses were
fatigued by the long drive out, she
whipped them into run. Breathless
with excitement and fear, she told the
physician, and they started with a fresh
team for the scene of the accident.
Darkness came, and the girl, unfamiliar
with landmarks, lost her way. The ply
stefan knew the country well, but could
not determine from the girls descrip-
ton of the place which way they should
go.
Meanwhile the father sought to re.
on the ground on blankets taken from
the buggy, and with his own body
shielded him from the cold northwest
wind which sprang up at about sun
down. The boy grew weaker. Even
his strong body and his brave efforts to
make his father believe that he would
not die, that the wound was only slight
and that the doctor would be there
soon, were unavailing.. He grew weak
er from the loss of blood, which the
father could not stop. Then he lay still
ually lost under the nervous finger OF
the father. Then the body grew cold
That was an hour and half after
Stella had gone for the doctor. The
father lay the body of his son on one
blanket, covered it with another anC
lay down beside it weeping. The hours
passed with fearful slowness. A streak
Of gray appeared on the eastern hori
zon, and grew brighter, but it left thu
vast, illimitable prairie. At 1880 O'Clock
a speck appeared on the horizon: Il
was the buggy containing the physician
and the girl-but they were too late.

BISHOP SCORES TOURISTS
SAYS THEIR CONDUCT BRINGS
REPROACH ON AMERICA-AN
EXAMPLE CITED.

Bishop J. W. Hamilton, in a lecture
on M exico at the First Swedish NJ. E..
church last evening, took occasion to
pass some opinions on the brand of
American tourists who are advertising
their country in a way to give foreign
ers a most unfavorable idea of the
American people.
IT can always tell an American
abroad,' said Bishop Hamilton. ''The
genus is SO selfsufficient, SO absolutely
callous to the rights Of others, SO i'm
mune to every suggestion made to keep
them within the. bounds of the common
est decency.' n~
The speaker then related a number
Of incidents to give point to his criti-
cism. On one occasion a party of
American tourists entered church in
Mexico, and, despite the fact that mass
was being conducted, trooped up to the
altar and with brazen effrontery in
troduced each other to the prelate who
was conducting the service, and impu-
IDENTIFY asked him to show them the
place. With gentle courtesy the clergy
man did so, and also took them thru
the library and diningroom. A count
Of the silver after the party had gone
showed over score of valuable spoons
missing. There was nothing. for the
padre to do but to send for the police,

American party "t.t. s5#s-, ~. ,-
