RUBIES FOUND
 NEAR NOME

British and German experts have de- c ared that the rub.es found on Gold Run creek in the Port Clarence district have a high commercial value, their hardness and brilliancy being equal to the best gems taken from the mines Of Brazil and India. There is no longer any doubt as to the value of the gems from bhis section of Alaska, as nearly 5000 of them were placed on the for egn market last winter and sold at a price highly satisfactory to bo h the sellers and the buyers.

AGREES WITH OPINION
Of JUDGE: FU uPHREYS

Attorney C. w. Ashford has sent the
following to Chief Justice Hartwell in
reply to the latter circular letter ask
ing the opinion of the bar as to Wheth-
er legislation should be enacted giving
appellate courts in this Territory wider
discretion in refusing new trials be-
cause of error:
In reply to your circular letter of
some weeks since, wherein you invite
expressions of opinion from members
of the local bar, as to certain pro-
ing the granting of new trials, ETC., in
cases at law, taken to our Supreme
Court, I wish to go upon record as very
earnestly opposing the granting to the
Supreme, or to any other court, of any
greater degree of discretion than is now
possessed by it, or them. [ have read
attentively the letter addressed to you
upon this subject by Hon A. s. Humph-
reys, and I desire to express my con-
currence in all that he said therein,
upon the topic of judicial discretion.
Tt is my belief that the discretion Of
judges should be still further restricted,
instead of being enlarged, in the event
of any change being made in the law
upon that subject. A government ac-
cording to law is admirable, if the laws
themselves be right; but government
of "discretion deserves all the con-
demnation heaped upon it by the illus
trious John Marshall, as a member of
the Constitutional Convention of Virgil
MIA, in 1887, and would be intolerab1e,
in this age of the world. Judicial dis
erection is quality so unstable, vague
and varying, that it should be eliminat-
ed, as far as possible, from our scheme
of jurisprudence.

FARM HELP IN GREAT DEMAND

During the past month the Commits
sioner OF Labor through the Wisconsin
Free Employment Offices has placed
hundreds Of men on farms and there
are still many openings for those de-
.sirin gto GO on farm. There are
many men out of employment in the
cities, but they seem to prefer to hold
out until they can find work in their
particular occupations even if they
must face poverty for while, If the
Norkingman, will stop to consider the
large part Of his income which he spends
for rent, food, and fuel in the city, he
will see that the low mone.7 wages paid
in cash on the farm are not 50 low in
reality. Persons wishing to go on a
farm should address any one of the
Free Employment Offices in Milwaukee,
Superior, Oshkosh or La Crosse and
should give. references. and details re-
garding the conditions under which
they would go on a farm. Farmers de-
string help should state kind of work
to be done, wages, and whether they

State tuberculosis Committee
Sends Rules To Be Observed
by Sufferers Of Disease
WOULD STOP SPREAD OF EVIL

With knowledge Of the means, a large
proportion of the $500 deaths annually
III Wisconsin from tuberculosis. could
be prevented and a large proportion of
the 10000 sufferers from the disease
can be cured. All cases could have
been prevented. In the hope that the
families Of the afflicted can be infu-
|enced while there is yet time, the Wis
consln Committee of the international
Congress on tuberculosis offers a few
of the most important rules for the
general guidance of patients and for
protection of their near rela tives.
Stop splitting, except into paper
napkins which can be destroyed by fire!
Put yourself under the care Of a
coed physician, one who has time to
give you complete information and tho
rough examinations and treatment!
3-sleep alone, in the greatest amount
Of fresh air obtainable! Instead of
catching cold, you will avoid it.
4-Spend every available minute out
of doors, day and night!
5-Exercise must be taken with the
greatest caution your strength is need
ed to fight the disease. Talking and
handshaking often are dangerously
fatiguing.
6-Don t cough or sneeze into any
thing except the paper napkins, burn
these!
Avoid kissing s liable to infect
the dear one with consumption, and the
consumptive with other complicating
diseases.
8-Don't swallow phlegm coughed upl
9-Wash hands whenever soiled by
saliva or phlegm and always before
meals!
l0-Take no liquors or medicine of
any kind except on order of competent
physicians!
l1-When in doubt about an action,
follow rules of politeness and cleanli-
ness.
12-Fight the disease bravely and
cheerfully and don It neglect any ad-
vantage on your side.
Provided-that the patient and his
friends are not deceived by the insidi-
Gus beginning and progression of the
disease That the same energy and devo-
ton are applied to cure that are
necessary to success in any worl-Tu-
bercnlosis is durable.
