Robert Knox, of the Tanana, was a passenger last night on the Jefferson for the states. He said to q friend here that the one prayer of the miners of the Tanana is that Judge Wickersham may be removed. He says that the peculiar decisions made by this Judge have caused the miners to lose conf dence in the stability of things. When they find what they believe to be val uable piece of ground they fear to leave it even for moment lest jumper come along and, in the inevitable scramble for the property, the Judge might rule that their discovery was not valid. So it was that in a recent case after discovery constant work was kept up, although poverty forced a diet of only beans. MT. Knox thinks that the life of a prospector is hard enough, and no additions should be made to his burdens.

An Insult

Last week victim of the booze habit was given five days in the muni- cipal jail, by the Judge. The first two days were enough to convince Marshal McDonald that the fellow was a stranger to the hard work habit. For two nights the jail door was left un- locked, but the prisoner remained. Then the Marshol fired him out. He was mad. To MayorStubbing he made the complaint; "I am 53 years old and was never fired before in my life"

 John Feusi wishes to call the atten- tion of Douglas folks to his elegant line of furniture, comprising as it does almost everything needed for the home. Or if you need stoves or hardware you cah find just what you want here.
 And so Douglas is to have dancing school. We had thought that such an institution was not needed, for we sup posed that everybody on Douglas Is- land could dance without any further instruction. When an entertainment is planned by a society, club, church or school it's a dance. Everything winds up in a dance except funerals, and we expect that to come in line any day. Public school commencement exercises are closed by dance. Benefits for churches have the same feature added. Surely Douglas people have no need to learn to dance; our brains are already in our heels.

REST AND SLEEP.
Advice for the Tired Woman.

HHE woman of the office or shop has
 more cause than the hOuSeieeper
 to wear out in days like these
 The housekeeper should find time for nap; she can get into loose cloth ing. while the business woman must fight it out until the end of the days work. The tired woman comes home from the office completely Jagged out She is nerv- ous; she finds she cannot rest; she rolls and losses through the night, a victim of insomnia. The housewife, perhaps the mother of large family and doing her own houSework. should take some little leisure in the middle of the day. if it only be for ten minutes. Slip away from cares and duties and throw yourself down on lounge or bed for little while. Try to relax every muscle until your body feels heavy Then try and stop thinking: re- lax your mind; throw off worry. For those ten minutes or half an hour. lie perfectly still This is the advice of the greatest woman'S specialist of our time. Dr. R. V. Pierce. founder of the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Furthermore, he says, the woman who is employed in stores or shops, work ing at the highest tension all day, must above all things get d good nights rest. tepid bath and a cup of cocoa or warm milk before going to bed, or perhaps a little light exercise, with the window open so that you breathe pure air, will act upon the nerves. Quieting them and soothing the tired-Out woman into the first sweet slumber which leads to q long, reStful sleep. If such simple treatment, says Dr. Pierce, has no effect on the nervous system, then the woman should resort to some vegetable tonic which will SoOthe the nerves.
 If there is headache. backache. a sen sation of irritability or twitching and un- comfortable nervousness. something must be wrong with the head or back, woman

naturally says, but all the time the real trouble very often centers in the wom anly organs. In nine cases out of ten the seat of the difficulty is here, and a woman should take rational treatment for it's cure The local disorder and in fiammatiOn of the delicate special organs of the sex should be treated steadily and systematically.
 Dr. Pierce, during a long period of prac- tice, found that prescription made up entirely of roots and herbs. without the use of alcohol, cured over ninety per cent, of such cases. After using this remedy for many years in his private practice he put it up in form that would make it easily prOcurable. and it can be had at any store where medicines are handled.
 The prOprietorS and makers of Doctor Pierce'S FavOrite Prescription have the most remarkable record of cures made by this wOrldfamed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especi- ally designed for the cure of wOman's peculiar ailments.
 Sick women. especially those suffering from diseases of long standing, are in vited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free All correspondence is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Ad- dress Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y.
 Your medicines are certainly bless ing to suffering wOmen." writes Mrs. Ella Sauerwald, of 1885 w. Pratt Street, Balti- more, Md. "I suffered with female weak ness very badly. was extremely nervous at all times, had Indigestion; could not sleep. constant dull headache-in fact, was very miserable when began to take your medicines, but after taking them a short time I began to feel better. M! nerves were better: could sleep at night, headache ceased. digestion was improved. felt like a new woman, and could go around and attend to my household duties. which previous to taking your medicine l could not do pr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cured me of constipation of many years standing l am sure if more women who snffer would take Dr. Pi6rce'S medicines they would soon be convinced of the good they can do."
