There will be no change this year in the transportation charges between White Horse and Dawson over the win ter stage line. The fare at the present time is S125 either way, and it will con tinue at that figure until the road will permit of the use of sleighs instead of wagons. As soon as the rivers freeze up and the sleighs can be used, the rate will drop to S100, the same as it was last year. The regulations permit the carriage of p pounds of baggage free. Excess baggage will cost 30 cents per pound. If there is more of the lat ter than the passenger stages want, the remainder will be sent through on fast freight and 9 cents per bound will be charged. The freight charges are 20 cents per pound over the stage line for classes A, B and c. Other classes high CT. There will be considerable freight handled this winter, and the traffic de- partment of the railroad is now receiv- ing freight to move as soon as the road shall be in condition. No freight will be taken on the wagons, though they will carry limited amount of express. At the present time the stages do not cross the Yukon, but they each ex- change freight at Yukon Crossing and double back on the line. As soon as sleighing shall get in condition, all the passengers and freight offering will be handled, if it shall require stage every day.

An incident related by a Chicago paper, illustrates the extreme to which some things may be carried. It occur red at Newport. It was the celebra- ton of the third birthday of pet dog of high degree, Seven other pet dogs of equal breeding were invited to join it in a course dinner. All occupied high chairs and were served in great state by their aristocratic mistresses assisted by five butlers-full grown and potentially useful men. After the din ner the canine aristocrats withdrew to the drawing-room where cats had been provided to afford them the exhilara- tion of the chase; and when they were exhausted they were taken to their several homes in carriages. It was all harmless enough, to be sure-leaving ! the cats out of consideration.

JOKE ON THE w. C. 4. U.
Some Malicious Person Starts Bogus
Anti Cigarette Campaign.

Mount Vernon, N. Y, Feb. 1S.-The
Woman's Christian Temperance union
of Mount Vernon is enmeshed in an
endless chain scheme and doesn't know
how to free itself.
Some malicious person, with a per-
verted sense of humor. lately conceived
the idea of a gigantic petition to con-
gress to pass a law prohibiting the sale
of cigarettes to boys. He Cor she)
started the endless chain of letters.
Several members of the w. C. T. u.
here got letters and brought up the
scheme in a meeting. The women took
hold of it with vim.
Now, it is learned, that the endless
chain letters are stacking up in the
Philadelphia postoffice at the rate of
10, 900 a week. Postmaster Clayton Nc
Michael writes that the chain is run
ming wild, and he doesn't know how to
stop it. The Philadelphia man who was
supposed to have started it, and who
was to receive the letters for trans
mission to congress, denies all know
ledge of the scheme.
The letters are variously addressed to
the United States Moral society, the
United States Marshall society, and the
National Moral society. None of these
concerns can be found. The postoffice
people return the letters when there
are return cards in the envelopes; the
others, numbering about 5000 weekly,
are shipped to the dead letter Office.
The W. c. T. u. here is at the end OF
it's collective wits. But it can't do a
thing to stop the endless chain.

WOMEN IN CIRCUS TRICK.
Horse Drawing Their Coupe Slides
Down Hill on His launches.

Orange, N. J., Feb. 18-When the resi-
Oranges fashionable thoroughfares
saw a horse coasting down hill as if he
liked it, and dragging behind him a
staid-Iooking driver, they thought a
new kind of circus had come to town.
This impression prevailed until it was
discovered that the horse was not
cOaSting because he wanted to, and
that the women in the coupe didn't
think it was funny.
The recent thaw sent a heavy flow
OF water and half-melted snow down
the steep hill, and when the sudden
freeze came it CONCEALED into solid
mass of glare ice, and for days the
street has been impossible and drivers
have avoided it. The driver of the
coupe, evidently not knowing what was
ahead of him turned suddenly out of a
side street and down the hill. His steed
back appealingly to his driver, as if
asking him to please put on brakes
or open the sand box
The driver pulled manfully on the
reins and shouted 'Whoa!' but the
horse couldn't have stopped to save
his neck, and feeling that all was lost
he let his hind legs slide in front of
him, sat down like a. dog, and with his
front feet braced coasted down the
glistening slope, with his tail dragging
on the ice behind him. The women
in the carriage screamed and would
have jumped out, but were treasured
by the driver. The old horse coasted
down on his headquarters for 300 feet
to the bottom of the hill, where his ca
launches were bruised and his dignity
greatly ruffled.

CHURCHES FEDERATE.
Cumberland and Presbyterian Be-
come One Body.

ST. Louis, Mo-. Feb. 18.-It is stated
on good authority that the proposed
federation of the Cumberland and
Presbyterian churches became an as
sured fact at the conclusion of today's
conference of the subcommittee rep
resenting the general committees of
both bodies which have been in session
the past few days.
It is announced on the authority of
one of the churchmen present that all
matters pertaining to the consolidation
of the two churches have been annie
ably arranged, and the only question
remaining deals purely with the
phraseology of certain prescribed
forms.
Il may say that the sessions have
been most harmonious and the SUBJ
committees really had very little to do
after the general committees had fin
ished their labors,' said the informant,
who refused to have his name made
public. "Of course, we are all proud
of the results accomplished. 1t means
a greater. better. more prosperous
union of the two large Presbyterian de-
nominations, and we will have fra
ternal banquet in celebration Of the
event this evening"

Wheeler and Jordan Highway Rob
berry Case Goes Over.

The preliminary hearing of James
Wheeler, charged with robbery, was set
for hearing in city court today but con-
tinued on request by the defense until
February %.
Whheler and Lille Jordan are charged
with robbing I P. Clark, a North To-
peka storekeeper, on the night of Feb
ruary 6. On that night, just as he was
closing up his little store, two negroes,
a man and woman, came into the store,
and the man covered Clark with a re-
volver. Clark made fight, and would
probably have overpOwered the robber
had it not been for the fact that they
fell over a showcase in the struggle, Civ
ing the hold-up man the advantage.
The negroes took S12, all the money
Clark had, and escaped. From the de-
scription given by Clark. Wheeler and
the Jordan woman were arrested next
day. Both of these negroes are late in
mates of the penitentiary, the woman
getting out about five months ago, after
serving a sentence of one year for arson.

Willett and "CIeve" Wasser, aged re-
spectiveIy IA and u years.
Two years ago on motion of their
mother they were placed in the boys
industrial school at Topeka. They were
soon granted a parole for good beha-
vior, and were placed with a farmer, a
Mr.. Morrow, near Topeka, to whom
they gave entire satisfaction. Morrow
was delighted and the neighbors were
enVious of his good fortune. The in
stitution was besieged for boys like
the Wasser boys"
Then came trouble to the Morrow
home. Saturday, February 10, the boys
were sent to a field with a team. Later
the team was found in the field but

the elder to the reporter this morning
