Big Omega Nugget
 In Camp for First Time

The big quartz nugget valued at $120 found this fall on Omega creek by the laymen on R. H. Wright's ground came into town for the first time Thursday in the possession of MT. Wright who secured it from the laymen:
 The nugget is one of the handsomest specimens ever shown in the camp. It is lump of quartz half the size of a fist and is scanned and studded with the precious metal. 1t is estimated that the actual gold value of the nugget is about $1O0.

Gasoline Market at Tanana
 Now Said to Be C0rnered

Local consumers of gasoline-for il- luminating purposes-are beginning to burnish their discarded kerosene lamps. The local market has been exhausted of gasoline since the closing of naviga- tion, and the consumers have been de- pending on Tanana to supply their needs.
 t is now asserted that consumers are ~.4ly able to secure a case at time from the Tanana merchants. One Rampant CT has paid as high as $20 case. This of course is with freight added. The precariousness of the present supply will probably resultsin all hands using kerosene instead of gasoline.

Congressman John F. Lacey
 May Succeed Secty. Hitchcock

WASHINGTON, Sept. l. That Iowa will continue to have two cabinet mem- bers even after the retirement of Shaw in February, is the newest report con- corning the cabinet reorganization. It is rumored that Secretary of the Inter- for Hitchcock will retire about the same time as Shaw, and that the presi- dent is considering Congressman John F. Lacey.
 Lacey is chairman of the house com mittee on public lands and one of the best informed men in the country on the interstate business of the interior department. It would be impossible for him to be named while Iowa already has two cabinet members. but Shaw's retirement would make it possible.
 Bankers and leading eastern senators are raising serious objection to Cor telyou succeeding Shaw as the treas ury's head, because he is not banker and never had business experience. The senators most friendly to the pres ident have initiated movement to in- duce the president to give up the ap- pointment.

Railroad Projected
 For Port Clarence

NOME, October 4.-One of the larg- est if not the very largest, enterprises yet undertaken on Seward peninsula will be in full swing early next spring. This is nothing less than the building of a railroad from Port Clarence into the great Kougarok country, and the build ing of town on the north shore of Port Clarence bay.
 Behind the big enterprise are Major l.. H. French and the veteran mining man, Chas. D. Lane. For several years past Major French has been quietly ex- amining the Kougarok as field for mining operations. During this time he has had three surveys made for 8 railroad, has acquired several claims on Dahl and other creeks. and 20 miles of the bed of the Kougarok river. Here
 xt season will be operated three big
 edges. It is a known fact that men standing almost waist deep in the Kou- garok river have been able to shovel out gold from the bottom of the stream. The Kouga1ok as dredging proposition is considered unexcelled in all Alaska.

So He gave him a mite in Heavens sight
But 10. the gift that He gave was-go1u
And Iucifer wrought with the rugged Cre
,FiI he fashioned it w0ndrous fair. ana
then
He set a price on the precious store.
And the price was the blood and tears OF
Blood and tears! and the price was paid.
Blood was nothing, and tears were free
And Lucifer smiled at the fools and said
surely your souls should belong to met
So he offered the earth with it's golden
heart,
And the seas with their fleets from pole
to pole;
And they looked with lust on the world
wide mart,
And said in their hearts.-"It is worth
the soul,''
And kings We're they, and they ruled right
WE'LL
Gorgeously sped their sovereign day
But Lucifer hath their souls in He'll,
And their gold and their empires-where
are they?

Crickets Pest Omaha.

4 plague of crickets has swept down
on Omaha and has made life a burden
to the inhabitants. The insects appeared
suddenly by the millions Falling on
the street car track and being crushed
by the wheels, they so creased the rails
that traffic was badly crippled. That
the little pests came hungry is proved by
the fact that they destroy all clothing
and carpets with which they come in
contact. Bushels of them have been
swept from the stores. They cause much
terror among the women. They. almost
put out the street lights.
While 5000 people were enjoying the
harvest carnival in the public square at
Shelbyville, Ind, an immense cloud of
crickets appeared overhead and around
the electric lights. The women in the
crowd sought shelter indoors and in the
tents for a time, but We're finally driven
from the square. The crickets left soon
after midnight. Whence they came or
whittier they went is not known

also permits the arrangement of smaller

at one end with movable tip and at

Pressure upon the bulb will force the

pressure is applied to the air bulb deter

HUNDREDS STRUCK BLIND.
Mysterious Eye Disease Asserting Itself
in Central Africa.

A somewhat remarkable eye disease is
at present prevalent in several parts of
British central Africa, northeastern
Rhodesia and in Portuguese Zambesia.
AT first it was noticeable in cattle, sheep
and goats and only recently was it
found to have attacked the natives. The
disease, according to the London Mail, is
at present raging from Port Herald, a
British station on the Zambesi, right on
toward Tete, a distance of over 200
miles, and at this latter place it is re-
ported to be quite an epidemic.
William Arnott, traveller who recent
ly returned from Tete, states that he OBJ
served hundreds who were suffering from
the disease, and large number were to-
tally blind One of the sights of Tete on
Sunday morning is the long lines of
blind people who enter the town to beg,
each string being led by a little boy or
girl. At first a white spot is observed
on the eyeball and this in a short space
Of time becomes highly inflamed. The
eye then discharges white, milky fluid
and the whole of the eye becomes COW
cred with a white film. This is the criti-
cal stage of the malady, and if the dis
ease is very severe the eyeball bursts,
thus destroying the sight entirely.

ENDURANCE SAVES LIVES.
Holds Hands Over Boat Leak Until Aid
Comes.

By holding her hands over hole in
a rowboat for more than half an hour
Miss Hattie Manley, New York city,
saved herself and companion, Mrs. John
Hoffman, from drowning in Hennessey' s
lake at Circleville. The boat struck q
stump which penetrated the bottom
Miss Manley tossed a dipper to Mrs
Hoffman. saying:
You bail out as fast as you can and
| will take care of the leak"
Miss Manley, with both hands about
the end of the stump which projected
through the bottom of the boat
pressed them against the jagged cut.
This lessened the thrush of water. and
Mrs. Hoffman, who used the dipper en-
ergetically, soon got the water down to
within a few inches of the bottom and
was able, through the efforts of Miss
Manley. to keep it at that level for
over half an hour. The perilous condi-
ton was discovered by Thomas Hen
nessey, who rowed to their rescue
Miss Manley's hands and arms were
benumbed from the trying experience

POOR GIRL WINS COUNT.
Goes to Italy to Study Music and Re
ceiyeS HOnors

ceives Honors.
While studying in the conservatory at
Milan, Francesca Bisceglia, the accom-
pllshed and comely daughter of Chi
cago garment cutter, has won the heart
OF the Count Edvardo Viancini of Milan,
whom she soon will wed.
-Four years ago Miss Bisceglia went to
Italy to cultivate her voice, which Chi
cago musicians told her was of the rarest
quality. Her father was garment cut
ter, living in a dingy room at 12S Stave
street. But he had an Italians passion
for music and a fathers pride for his
daughter, and he willingly made the sac
rlhces necessary for the trip.
In May of last year the girl received
one Of the greatest hOnors it is possible
for the Italian government to bestow.
She was admitted to the Verdi conse:va-
tory at Milan, being the first American
girl to be SO elected.
Soon after, at a reception, she met the
count, who fell in love with her, and
after her great triumph in ''Traviata,"
some months later, he proposed marriage.
But Miss Biscegha asked that the be-
trothal be delayed until her father could
arrive. He went to Italy and gave his
consent, and yesterday arrived with his
daughter in Chicago. Miss Bisceglia
would not consent to an immediate mar
rage, for it is her desire to earn enough
money by her own efforts to repay her
father
