DANIEL BooNE'S PRoWESS
The following story was recently told to us by an old acquaintance of the fam ous frontiersman:

ous frontiersman:
 Old Daniel Boone, he killed a coon And forty-f wild geese;
 lis said of him, he split the limb Where they all sat in peace. The rent did close and catch their toes And held them fast and snug, While i'll line, upon pine, The coon received the slug. He fired again, and cut ill twain The branch, close to the tree The creek, beneath, the branch received, And after it plunged he.
 When he came out. his brooches, stout, Five hundred trout contained, Which weighed at least two pounds apiece, And there they all remained.
 But stout and stanch, he took the branch And laid it on his back,
 And home he walked by nothing baked, As fast as he could shack. As am told, old Bruin. bold Did meet him on the road; But him Dan shot dead on the spot And added to his load.
 The time of day Qve heard him say) Was four o'clock or near, And miles nineteen there lay between Him and his cottage, dear, The way was steep, the SHOW was deep. And brush and logs not few; But such his powers that in two hours His labors all were through.
 When home he came, the good old Dame Soon feathered all the geese; The fish and coon were dressed as soon, And Bruin not the least Old Mother Boone then took the coon And ninety pounds of fish, Likewise a score of geese, or more, And laid them on dish.
 Potatoes too (and not a fewl Were added to the mess, She chopped them fine, then added brine, And seasoned all with cresss And then. with care, they took the bear And. crairfned him fuil of it. Before the blaze they BTuin raised And put him on a spit.
 One of them stood and piled on wood One tu1ued him round 10 roast How hi,e be looked completely cooked I've often heard them bsast And then, with haste, they Bruin placed Upon table. EJar, And soon began, the good old man To carve upon the rear.
 A huge claymore, as Wallace bore, His dext'rous right hand gfasped; A p!tchfoTk, too, which pierced him thro' n t'other hand he clasped. He cut and cleft from right to left, To each he gave a-quarte.; His wife and son, they each took one, The rest, himself and daughter.
 When this was done they all begun With healthy appetite, No word was said, nor shook head, Till all was out of sight. 'Twould do you good, know it would, To sec them eat and stuff The bons5 were cleaned, the table gleaned, And then all cried "Enougk .' 
 There was one little incident in con nsction with this narrative which was not wrought in the poem. When the great hunter was emerging from the creek with half tor of front Tn his "brseches stout" SO great WAS the bear ing down upon his "galluses" that a button thereon was wrenehed off with such violence that it flew across the creek and killed partridge.

A FINE OUTLOOK.
Signs Of the Times Point to a Prosperous Season in This
 Immediate Vicinity

That the coming season is to be fine one and a record breaker for this sec- ton is evidenced by the additions and improvements to various canneries and other industries adjacent to town.
 Capt Fsrrer, who came up from the sound last week informed reporter that the Alasks Packers eannery at this place is to be greatly enlarged. Six lines of machinery gre to be used, in- creasing the capacity of the csnnery to 200, 900 cases for the season. New pill. ing will have to be driven, new build ings erected, and other improvements made. The cannery ship will be up in March, bringing material and machinery for some of the work. The steamers Kayak and Chilkst will be added to the fleet for transporting fish from the fish ing grounds to the eannery, and steam boat about the size of the Farallon will carry. the canned fish below, making regular trips during the season. These changes will make the Wrangell cannery
 the largest in Alaska, having double the capacity of the Loring cannery.
 Manager Swartz of the cannery at Lake Bay was in town a day or two dur ing the week, having just come up from Portland to put that cannery into con- ! dition for the season just opening. The cannery is to be increased to double it's former capacity, and MT. swartz has a
 crew of men at work erecting the neces-
 sary buildings. and otherwise preparing
 for the enlargement of the plant. Rumor has it that the cannery at San.
 ta Ana is also to be doubled in capacity,
 but this report is as yet unauthenticat-
 ed. However, we sincerely trust it may , be true.
 Every citizen of Wrangell has been hoping for the opening for work of the 1 Basin mining claims. and there Is now
 probability of having the hope realized.
 MT. Hettell, who was here early in the
 winter, will be here as soon as these
 claims can be reached, and if he can
 come to any agreement with the locators 1 will go right to work building road to
 the properties.
 These improvements and additions to l the various canneries mean great deal
 to Wrangell in more WAYS than one. In
 the first place, the new buildings will
 necessieate the use of thousands of feet
 of lum Der, which the Wrangell sawmill
 will be cslled upon to furnish The mill
 will also be taxed to its night-and-day
 capacity to furnish the additional boxes
 necessary for packing this seasons pro- duct of this and other canneries.
 Second, there will be q demand for carpenters and other tradssmen in put ting up the new buildings, installing the new machinery, etc.
 Third, there will be no reason why there should be one idle fisherman here
 this season. Every man, woman and child who knows how to fish may be sure of finding ready sale for their fish. Lastly, (but not least Wrangell being the base for these canneries, will no doubt be called upon to furnish many of the necessaries incidental to the oper- ation of the canneriss. This will also
 be big help to the town. Surely ev- erybody in Wrangell should start into next winter with "bunch of coin"

The sidewalk site between Front St. and Stikine Avenue is still standing. But us have not seen the walk as yet.

Monday night an ice pack containing several hundred tons, came down from the mouth of the river, and after floating around the bay for several hours, went on it's way toward the sea.
 The Ramona came in Tuesday morn. ing with big mail and some freight from the south.
 Two Douglas business men were tell ing tales of by-goue days. One said he knew 9 man who was working in the TreadBell mines who was SD badly crip- pied he could hardly walk, all because he had corns that he had neglected to trim for twenty-five years. To bsat that story the other merchant told of man who came in to buy a pair of shoes. The largest in the store appeared too small, and the salesman suggested that he take off his sox and try dry pair. The customer started taking of sock af- ter sock, three and then the fourth pair, after which he found still ahother pair which were stuck so fast to his feet he had to shave them off with his pocket knife. No one tried to bea. the latter s!ory.-News.
 Word was brought by last mail that Frank Snyder is dangerously i'll with pneumonia at Ely, New, and Tom War ren, his brother-in-law, has gone to bring him to McMinnyille, Oregon. SENTINEL job office is still in lire and turning out the nea;cst job work to be found in Southeastern Alaska.

Logan Havird and "Little Nick" came

Logan Havird and "Little Nick" came in Saturday last from Etolin Island, where they have besn trapping for the past month or two. They have been en- during some trying experiences. At the time of the first thaw several weeks ago, @ southeast gale threw their boat onto the rocks and demolished it beyond all repair. The two men then kept vain lookout for passing boat, putting in the time meanwhile making a dugout from tree thrown across some drift on the beach. This craft was almost com pleted when high tide and higher wind crushed 1t also. Mir. Smith then hap pened along and put the two hapless trappe,a to the camp Of Geo. Card, from whom they borrowed boat aud came to town. Notwithstanding all their bad luck, they caught fine lot of furs, and are entirely satisfied.
 Wrsngell has a real live song writer. During the past winter, while other fel- lows were "bumming' around, Prof. Geo. H. Edson, the well-known violin ist and dancing msstsr, WAS improving his leisure hours writing song poems. He has sent the words to music pub fishing houses in the east, and recently received two complete copies of music in which his poems were used. We did not learn the titles, nor have we heard the music. but they are pronounced c K by several parties who have seen them.
 Merrill X Camper are down at Ani'a Bay, getting their shingle mill ready for transportation to Wranpeli. The bnild- ings will be torn down anu re-erected at this place, and it will not require much time to get to running.

Davenport, June 5.-Whether or not
Blanche Meir Routed Mengel, noted
actress, is the wife of George Mengel,
the wealthy Davenport brewer, now
60 years of age. is the question Judge
James w. Bollinger Of the district
court is seeking to answer by untang-
ling a web of marital complications
such as upsets all records of the local
courts.
Mengel and the actress, who Is
young and beautiful, while he is gray
and so, were secretly married in Aledo,
ILL.,, in 1905. The young woman had
been previously married to Hans
Routed a German actor, and latec
finding he already had a wife had that
marriage a.nnulled. Now Mengel seeks
~ have that decree set aside, alleging
that Mrs. Reuted had conspired with
her husband to get the divorce and
marry him for his money. If the Reu-
ted divorce is set aside, the Aledo
wedding becomes illegal and Mengel
will be freed from the bonds that have
proved irksome and expensive, as his
young wife's gay life is said to have
m.-a large infoads into his fortune.
Questions Of jurisdiction further
complicated the case yesterday and
Judge Bollinger adjourned it for twen-
ty days to permit Of further investi-
cation.

Roland, June 5.-By far the biggest
gathering ever held in Roland, and IN
all probability the most important ever
assembled in Story county, began here
this morning at 10 o'clock, when the
first session Of the sixty-sixth annuaL
an Hauges synod was called to order
The gathering is national in its scope,
as there is but one synod in the I'm
tied States of this denomination. While
many states of the union are repre-
sented, the principal membership is
confined to the great northwest, in
Guiding Canada. Between 500 and 700
ministerial and lay delegates and visi-
tors will be in attendance, and most
of the number are already here.
Every train into Roland yesterday
afternoon and last evening was crowd
ed to the doors with delegates from all
parts Of the country, and the people
Of this place, regardless Of church at
filiation, have thrown open their
homes for the, entertainment of the
delegates. Many delegates are being
entertained in the neighboring country
homes. A large party from Chicago
and points in Michigan reached here
last evening over the Story City
branch of the Iowa Central. Included
in the delegates are all of the prom
,inent ministers of the church in the
country, as well as many of the more
influential lay delegates, and mission
aries Of the denomination in foreign
fields.
The Hauges synod embraces in it's
membership the United States and
Canada, but its strength lies in Iowa.
illinois, Minnesota, wisconsin, North
and South Dakota, Michigan and Can

The synodical meeting will be in ses-
sion just one week. closing on the 18th.
The sessions will be held on the Evan
gelical lutheran church here, of which

Motion to Substitute Their

IMPORTANT VICTORY FOR HEIRS
Sustaining Of Motion Would Have

tire case-Will Now Be Heard on lts
Merits, and Scientist Leaders May
Be Compelled to Give Accounting.

Concord, N. H., June 5.-The petition
f of the three trustees to whom Mrs,
Mary Baker Eddy had transferred her
property, asking that they be substi-;
tuted as plaintiffs, in place of the next
friends" in the suit to secure an ae-
counting of Mrs. Eddy's property, wAs
denied today by Judge Chamberlain,
of the Merrimack superior court The
trustees are Henry NJ. Baker. Josiah
E. Fernald and Archibald Mcclellan.
The next friends are George W..
Glover, of Lead, s. D.: son OF Mrs. Ed
dy; Mary Baker Glover, his daughter,
DR.. ]. Foster Eddy, of Waterbury,
Vt., an adopted son, and George Baker,
Bangor, cousin.
The suit is for an accounting Of
Mrs. Eddy's property: which, it is sal-
legged, is under the control of Calvin
A. Frye, Mrs. Eddys secretary, and
other Christian Science leaders, who
are named as defendants The ques-
ton of Mrs. Eddy's physicafand man-
tai condition figures in the action.
Had the motion of the trustees BEEN
sustained, It would have left the heirs
without standing in court. Now the
case will come on for hearing on its
merits.
Today's decision is in favor of the
next friends" A long hearing was
held on the question two weeks ago,
at which Gen. Frank S. Treeter, of
Concord, argued for the trustees that
they should be substituted because the
original plaintiffs were hostile to Mrs.
Eddy, and, as he alleged, were not,
acting in good faith. William i
Chandler. senior counsel for plaintiffs
opposed the petition on the ground
that a trust deed was executed for
the purpose of avoiding suit, and that
it was void owing to Mrs. Eddy's all.
