 MIG NTGOMERY. Ala. Aog 2. The supreme court of the state of Alabama today issued an order revolling the li- cense of the Southern railroad to op- crate it's trains in this state. The li- cense was revoked on account of a vio- lation of the federal laws. which pro- vides that when railroad has been sued by state government and re- moves such suit from the state courts such revocation of license is proper.
 The action of the supreme court came as a thunderbolt to the railroad officials, who have been violating the laws of the state for some time past, and by appealing the cases to the fed eral courts, and gaining continuances from time to time, have been able to continue their violations of the state law. It is estimated that the decision of the court will cost the railroad com pay several million dollars. as it's sys- tenn will be badly broken up.

CHANDLAR DIcGlNGS
 NO GOOD

J. l.. Reed, who has been mining on Seward peninsula since 1899. and who returned last night from the Chan dlar. reports that only three claims are being operated in that district.
 Those three claims are situated on the head of Big creek. and were locat- ed last August. and a sum between s25,OoO and $s5.OOo will probably be extracted from them.
 They are the only claims in the dis trict from which anything like wages will be taken.

 Mr. Reed reports a strike which was recently made on the Panama side of the divide that separates that valley from Fairbanks. and says that the ground is believed to be pretty good.

These questions are direct to the point, and are in strict conformity with the statements made by the doctor in his carefully prepared interview pub lished on Thursday last.
 The doctrine laid down by the rail- road company to the effect that it will cripple the country if it Is not allowed to violate the law. is a dangerous one, but nevertheless. there is little dan ger of 1t being carried out for. if the railroad was closed down until such time as it is allowed to break the laws of the United States, 1t would remain closed forever and further than that, it is highly probable that the secretary of the interior department. acting in conjunction with the war department, would forfeit the company's right of way.

Major John-P. Cum, postmaster at Fairbanks, and also a candidate for the next election of delegate to con- gress, arrived here last night and will immediately take steps to forward the agitation for procuring Improvements in the transportation of mail and in- cidentally to speak politics to his old friends of Nome.
 He is new from Fairbanks on a leave of absence and will devote his time to the matters mentioned and to recreation. returning to Fairbanks in a week at latest. He will particularly try to find the opinions of the people of Seward peninsula on the question of obtaining a twice-a-week service, and on the recommendation which he for warded to Washington that a parcel post for the winter be allowed which will enable one to forward by first class registered mail packages of a maximum weight of eight ounces.
 He has hitherto heard nothing from

still further, the company has too large a sum invested, not alone in the railroad, but in mines and other en- terprises. to allow 1t to become inop- erative. simply to avoid the trifling cost of installing the kind of brakes and couplers provided for by the laws of the United States.
 It is true that the railroad company is fairly powerful institution, but many of the large railroad companies in the United States have learned to their cost that the government of the United States is still more powerful and this. notwithstanding the fact that Simon Guggenheim and other captains of industry have secured seats in the United States senate for themselves or their henchmen.

the people of Seward peninsula or these recommendations, although pub lished in the Nome Nugget, and he be- lieves that they should voice their de- sires and their opinions as to how and why improvements should be made.
 Although no longer postoffice in- spector. the major continues to work along the old lines as such. and for that reason took it upon himself to appoint postmasters to the Innoko and the Panama creeks.
 The residents of the Panama and the Yukon are very desirous of ob- taining better mail service. and the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and the Rampant Miners union have join- ed in advocating 1t. so that the major is hopeful that the Nome Chamber ot Commerce will fall in line.
 The matter of the transportation ot the mail to and through Alaska is be- ing given special attention by the post cffice department at Washington at the present time, and the major hopes for great results

MOSQUITOES EATING
 MINERS

Senator Charley Hill and F. M Schroeder, who are amongst the old Nomeites who returned from the In- noko yesterday, state that the busiest beings along that river are the mOs- quitoes.
 They came down stream on a scow which was the only thing built by the lumber mill that had been brought in by an enterprising individual. and on which another None man, who was their fellow traveller went pretty near jumping overheard because of the at tacks of the stinging insects.
 All they will say about the Innoko is that they came back.

ADRIAN M. NEWENS.
Ames Professor Delights Big Mems
Meeting at Opera House.

Combining humor and pa.--os with
the realities and the entertainments
Of life, Prof Adrian M. Newens Of toe
State Agricultural college OF Ames,
Iowa, gave an appealing delineation
of the sky Fnot" at LIE Greater
Meas Meeting held at the opera house
yesterday afternoon.
Impersonating the principal charac-
tiers in Ralph Connor's story OF the
western plains, he pictured the lives
Of the men, and told their conversion
in a manner that was highly interest
ing and remarkably true. Not for a
moment did he lose his grasp upon
the large audience of men present,
holding their attention from the first
to the last.
Humor is Irresistible.
During the early part OF his recital
his dry humor was irresistible; but
as he neared the conclusion, dealing
with the tragic events in the history
of the simple, who,e-hearted, incredu-
lous people and depicting the steps
in their salvation, the faces of those
before him became serious and every
eye was fastened intently upon the
speaker. Here and there handker-
chief was in evidence as the force of
mis- argument went home, and tear
glistened in many an eye as he relat-
ed the sad ending of Bruce and the
terrible calamity that befell Gwe1,
the picturesque and heroic western
girl, whose heart and soul were so
large. An intense silence prevailed
as Mr.. Newens with his magnetic
personality, told of the death of the
Sky Pilot and the grief of Bill, who
had come to be one of his foremost
supporters in mis- native way.
Makes Effective Appeal
He appealed to the manhood ofstne
large audience present as touched
upon the noble stand taken by the
Duke" at the death bed of his friend,
and aroused their sympathy as he ex.
planned the struggles to build the first
church, and satirized the cnaractef'
of the penurious Scotchman.
The meeting was one of the most
successful that has Deen held under
the auspices of the local Y. M. G. A.,
the attendance being larger than has
been, the case at most of the previous
meetings and the attention that was
paid the speaker being the best
We are glad to have had Mr.. New
ems with us and can assure him a
warm welcome whenever he comes to
Oskaloosa again. 1t was indeede
message that had the ring of sincerity
and manliness, and no doubt left i'm
pressions that will not soon be for
gotten.
