 Interesting details regarding the find ing of a people who had never seen white men, on Prince Albert Land in the Arctic are given by an officer of the revenue cutter Thetis, who learned full details from Captain Klinkin- berg of the steam whaler Olga, who located them. Last winter when his vessel was in the ice, near Prince Albert Land, Klinkinberg, accompa- nied by an Eskimo, started inland on a hunting trip. He went 250 miles in a northeasterly direction over the snow, finding traces of people. Other whalers had also seen traces of natives in this region, but never sighted them. Cap tain Klinkinberg came up with 150 or more. When they saw him they came toward him, each armed with copper knives and bows and arrows. They held these above their heads and he pointed a rife at them. One advanced alone and he laid down his rife, the native putting down his weapons. They became friendly, and, by means of signs, Klinkinberg learned that, other than one old woman from Prince Albert Land, they had never seen white men previously. He visited the village and found about 600 people, all of whom live by hunting and fish ing. They used the most primitive utensils, fashioned from bone and na- 4 tive copper. Their dress wac not like that of other Eskimos, but similar to that of the Greenland natives, made of softly tanned skins sewn with deer sinews. The winter houses were of sod, with an inner lining of skins and differ ent in shape from those of other known tribes. They were nomadic. The only article seemingly brought from civiliza- tion seen by Captain Klinkinberg was piece of steel, evidently from some ship, which had been converted into spearhead.

Tacoma sent a note to the Cascade laundry laundry there asking that his laundry be sent on to Fairbanks. He received reply on laundry slip read ing: Mailed July ', 1906; l pair cuffs, l hank, l collar left out The collar was worn, the hank was torn and the cuffs were all shot to -.-Northern Light.
 Yesterday was celebration day for the Eagles-business houses were closed for two hours that all employees might enjoy or take part in the big parade and the greater part of the night was devoted exclusively to the opening entertainment and ball given as a house warming for their hall, which is the newest and finest in Alaska.-Nome Gold Digger.
 From all accounts, Schwabacher, the big firm in Seattle, has been giving the merchants of the Tanana the double cross, says the Northern Light. It will certainly require some powerful strong" explanations to disabuse their minds, and for the firm to square itself with them. To put the matter bluntly, Schwabacher is accused of selling to the merchants all the wares he could and then landing his goods here, on his own boat and selling them below what it cost the merchants to get their ship ments here.
 There was a little spat between the judge of the district court and the municipal magistrate this afternoon over the arrest of three women of the underworld who were arrested on war rants charging them with disorderly and drunken conduct as they were get ting aboard boat to carry them to one of the vessels bound for Seattle says the Nome Gold Digger. It appears that the women were witnesses for the government in the case of the United States vs Dallagiovianni, which was concluded this morning and after they had placed bond in the municipal court, they appealed to the district at torney. eand Judge Moore conferred on the matter in chambers, and when the case of the United States vs Nose Rosencrantz, in which Judge Murane is an attorney, was called this after noon, Judge Moore took advantage of the opportunity to draw the attention of Judge Murane to the fact that this matter of tampering with and perse outing the government witnesses through the medium of the municipal court for purposes of spite, would have to cease. Judge Moore intimated that the same thing had been practiced be- fore and that if it happened again, he would cite the offending parties fol contempt of the court, and instruct the district attorney to bring the matter to the attention of the grand jury Judge Murane replied that he thought that the criticism of the court was unjust and that the statement was untrue and not founded upon fact Judge Moore interrupted and 1T effect told the municipal magistrate that he was on to all the curves and that his four years of experience in Nome had made him very much wiser to the conditions, and that if h' heard of anything more of Che kind there would sure be prosecution fol contempt of court.

and department of my unfortunate
host, hung the shadows Of mystery
to which / had no clew. 1t was plain
that he had secret which he kept
very private and to which / should
have been admitted on the very eve of
his unhappy death. That death, so to
say, had robbed me of my opportunity,
and could see no means to regain it..
Ny dim suspicion that he had come by
his end through violence was dissipat-
ed soon enough. The doctor certified
to heart disease, from which he told
me that Mr.. Kesteven had long suf-
fered.
s.He might have gone of any mo-
ment, Mr.. Greatorex," he explained.
"a shock, a violent exertion, even a
strong emotion-this would suffice to
determine the climax of the disease"

room and listened. Again it rose, some
