NAME ThREE
Chamber of Commerce Acts
 On Fourth of July

The chamber of commerce named a committee of three on the Fourth of July last night. J. NJ. Tanner, W. w.. Boughton and L. NJ. West will represent that body in preparing for the celebration of Independence Day.
 It was decided by the chamber of ofcommerce that the general committe would be in better position to decide whether to have the sports and celebra- tion on Saturday July 2 or Monday July 1. The sentiment at the meeting seemed to favor the former date. It was believed that not only could a larger crowd be secured from White horse on that date but that sn ex- cursion could be arranged from other Alaskan points. J. NJ. Tanner thought it entirely probable that the whitehorse and Atlin gun clubs could be secured for the celebration if it were held ou Saturday.
 The chamber of commerce turned all the papers pertaining to the last Fourth of July celebration over to the committee. This includes an unex- pended balance amounting to sl95I left over from last year and now on de posit in the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
 The chamber of commerce decided that, as has been the case in the past, it would be pleased to have it's commit tee act in conjunction with committees from other organizations. The Elks will probably name committee of three tonight, and the Eagles are also considering it.

 James L Scaulon. street car con- ductOr in the employ of the Seattle Electric Co.,, of l6lO Eesler way, Seat tie, Wash, says: "At intervals for over three years l have been annoyed with trouble from the kidneys, and suffered from severe pain in the small of my back. I railrOaded for years in the East On the Michigan Southern k. R., running between Detroit and Toledo, and since conf 2 here six years ago l have been iu the employ of the Seat tie Electric Co., If the constant shak- ing and jarring of the cars did not bring on the trouble, it probably az gravated it. Be that as it may, during attacks l noticed l was always worse if l contracted a cold, which settled in my kidneys and often kept me in con- tinual misery. Through a very convinc- ing ad that I saw in one of our Seattle papers I was induced to try DOan's Kid ney Pills When l commenced the treatment l was in such pain across the small of my back every morning when I got out of bed that l could scarcely stand it, and if l stopped or bent un- thinkingly I can only describe the twinges as excruciating. Doan's Kid ney Pills helped me from the start. To say I endorse the preparation mildly expresses what l think of it"

Rev. Cahoon Bids Farewell to Take
@ Up New Charge. a..
III At the Methodist church in this
village on Sunday morning last
Rev. Cahoon delivered his last reg
ular sermon, and on Wednesday de-
parted for Worthington, this state
where he will preach for two Sun
days before returning for Mrs. Ca
hoon and the boys.
It is not often that circumstances
become such as to make'i it necessary
for congregations to change pastors
In the middle of the conference
Year. but insomuch that the pastor
at Worthington resigned recently,
and because the congregation were
bound to have the Goodhue man,
there seemed to be no alternative,
and after consulting a number of
his best friends here who are men,
bers of the church, accepted the call,
and no doubt it will be a good
change for him for IN Worthington,
q little city Of 5000 people, church
is new and large and has a large
church membership among which
are innumerable young people who
by their work in the musical, line
add much to the strength of the
church. Then there is the salary
which must not be overlooked.
By this change in pastors Good
hue loses one of the best families it
ever had, for in them are found per-
sons of sterling worth whose ever
pleasant manner and upright living
won the admiration of all. Mr.. Ca
hoon is a young man who takes
pride in educating himself not only
along the line OF theology and
church work, but is ever abreast OF
the times with information galore
concerning politics and the every
day commercial transactions which
60 on in this country and between
foreign lands. He is so practical, and
thoroughly posted, and being ever
ready to assist in public gatherings
ewlth just the right word at the right
time that it now seems almost as
though we could not get along with
out him in our village, but as the
Enterprise joins with it's readers in
saying farewell to this couple we do
90 with less reluctancy than at first
presumed. for the change is one
which undoubtly will prove benetic-
ial to them. -Goodhue Enterprise.

Japanese oAacer Tells of Savage Bat x. tic Between Warning Forces
 "A Russian Hero.

It was ten o'clock in the morning when we saw coming out of their hiding places a small band of Russian soldiers, says a Japanese ofacer. writing in Les lies Monthly. That was the beginning of the fierce onslaught. Itwas as If some body had revived in this civilized day of ours the scenes from the old story books, when swords, spears, bows and arrows were the only weapons of war, and men slashed away at each other. It was actually hand-to-hand encounter. It was just at this time that we saw a Russian officer rise from the ranks, and, leaping over the dead bodies of his men and comrades, and putting himself at the head of the ranks, try by his daring example to revive the spirits of his men. Against the lurid background of blood and fire he made a superb figure, always rushing in front of his men, his sword gleaming ever over the heads of the lighting men, At last this officer rushed out, calling always and loudly upon his men to follow When he was within a few feet of our men he turned his head to gee whether his men were obeying his order. Instead of following at his heels his soldiers were trampling upon each other in the mad effort to run away. The sight broke his heart. evidently. Hs turned the point of the sword he had held against himself An instant later he fell with his heart pierced through

 .'Ay, ay, sir" replied Hatfield, call- ing the hands to the braces as Grafton turned to the companionway and went below, whither he was followed short ly by the old sailor he had designated. with whom he spent few naoments in busy preparation. Presently the ship was hove to and the dinghy drop ped alongside. Grafton and Slocum came on deck. Grafton wore his uni- form and both men were fully armed with sword, or cutIass, and pistols.
 You are surely not going in your uniform?'' Queried Hatfield.
 ''Yes, why not? I've no mind to hang as spy, and if I am captured in this uniform I'm a prisoner of war only. Remember my instructions.
 T shall not forget them.''
 Goodbye. v
 Goodbye, and God bless you I shall be in fever of anxiety until you return" exclaimed the lieutenant s,s they parted. x. .,,.s <. K.
 Waving his hand Grafton stepped to the gangway and dropped easily down the battens into the boat, whith- CT Slocum had preceded him. A vigor- olls shove sent them clear of the frig- ate; a bit of close reefed sail was hoisted on the dinghy and she gathered way toward the distant shore.
 After two hours of hard running, having at last come well within the harbor mouth and reached point op- posite the old chateaus they bore up and began ratchfng in toward the shore. It seemed to the 6ld sailor at the helm, after they had made several short tacks, that they were getting perilously near the breakers. As he peered ahead he thought he could see the white caps, and he believed, as he turned his ear up to windward, that he could hear the roar of the mighty waves. One more tack and they would, certainly be in the midst of them.
 Grafton had ordered him. to throw the dinghy up into the wind and check her way while he invest tigated the. situation. He had gone forward and was kneeling down by the mast peer ing ahead trying to get his bearings. Finally, having satisfied himself as we'll as he could in the darkness, he called out command to the sailor at the tiller Although it looked like certain destruction, old Jabez was too thorough seaman to hesitate to obey. and when Grafton directed him to put the helm over he let her go off slipped out the sheet. and in a few seconds they gathered way and were rushing straight for the breakers.

Old-Eashioned Customs Still Prevail Under Peculiar Name as Washington.

A few only of the old customs survive says Ainslee's Magazine. We still sit on the front steps when the weather per- mits. Our carriages are still drawn up in front of the markets on certain days of the week Our girls still continue to think 1t Is entirely proper for them to walk through the public streets and to the theater without head covering, We still persist in believing in the primitive characterland potency of the picnic and other buSolic diversions. We still dine in the middle of the day on Sunday. After that you will not be surprised to hear that our new-fangleu friends who prefer tea and bridge to poker andmint iulep call these good peo- pie, Cerisively, "cave dwellers." Cave dwellers, Z t'troglodytes, ' or by whatever name this element in Washington so- ciety may be called by the ultra-fash- ionables, 1t cannot be denied that 1t furnishes an important support to the social framework.
