NELLIE CASHHAR GOING HOME

Nellie CaShmsn was passenger on the Santa Clara enroute home. And where do you suppose she lives ? Five hundred miles beyond the arctic circle.
 IL Is unnecessary for the Alaskan to tell it's readers who Nellie CSshmau is, for there are very few people who have resided in Alaska any length of time who do not know her. She came to Alaska in 1874. She was with tue first oaes who went into the Cassiar country and many miner will tell you that If lt had not been for Nellie Cashman they would have died ln that country from scurvey and other sIcknesses. Nellie, on that expedition was the purse and scores of men who fell sick with the scurvey received medicine from her free of all cost II they were broke.
 She was through the Dawson country in ''the days of '97" and has seen about every camp in Alaska, Four years ago she struck for the wIlds of the Koyuk- uk and now calls that home. While ln Dawson she was the partner of Tom McMullen ln the restaurant business and they coined money. Tom was showing her the city today, and, with her calling on the old pioneers who have known her for the last thirty years.-Cordova Alaskan.

WORKS TOGETHER FOR 5000

The attempted assassination of Francis Heney at San Francisco is a revelation of a condition of affairs in that city for which not even the un- holy record of the past had prepared the outside onlooker. The dynamit' Ing of witnesses in the graft cases was indeed leading indication of this same condition but the country was unable to associate these des- perate methods with the names of rirey Ford and other associates some of which names have heretofore stood so well. It is sincerely to be hoped that Heuey's wish that he may recover and prosecute, if not the wouId.be assassin who has taken his ease off his hands, then those who are more responsible no doubt than he was.
 The tragedy will have the effect oi keying up the people of San Francis, co to a condition necessary for the completion of their >york of ridding their unhappy city of the pestilen. tial breed of grafters that has worked it such unspeakable harm and this appears to be the feature that re. deems the situation. The reports from that distressed community of late have indicated a growing weari' ness of the graft prosecution with the work only partially done. The cry Of graft has been turned against thc prosecution itself and tended to weaken it's force. The Examiner. which in the first place was one Of the principal agents in working up the case against Schmidt and Ruef has joined this cry which has grown so loud that at last Mayor Taylor. himself elected on the reform ticket. has been constrained to appoint a committee m investigate the truth of the stories" as the wire of a few days ago stated.
 This growing public sentiment which to people at a distance had only the appearance of another phase Of the work of the grafters in their attempt to escape-is no doubt the thing that lent strength to the arm of the assassin-causing him to be. Heve he would have public sym. pathy.
 And 30. the evil being done. the Examiner. so blatant in its Ialse lead ership turns at once and with its largest type. no doubt. deplores the act and hopes that Mir. Heney will recover to continue the work for which only few days ago that journal was declaring him to be unfit
 Haas has killed himself and thus eliminated his personality-whicl acts in itself is good-so that when Heney does recover he can continue 10 concentrate his force in the pur, suit of larger game.

The Good Old Times,

How times have changed When we
were young, people had bad colds,
soaked their feet in hot water and got
well; now they have grip, take quinine
and are sick all summer. Then they
had sore throat, wrapped a piece of
fat pork in an old sock, and went to
work the next day; now they have ton
silitis, surgical operation and weeks
in the house. Then they had belly-ache
took castor oil and recovered; now
they have appendicitis, week in the
hospital and six feet due east and west
and perpendicular, They worked then;
Now they labor. In those days they
wore underclothes; now they wear lin
gerie. Then they went to the restau-
rant for dinner; now they go to cafe.
Then they broke leg; now they frac-
ture limb. They went crazy then;
they have brain-storm now. Ministers
preached hell fire straight from the
shoulder then; now they read an essay
on 1.-THE Flowers that bloomed on Mo-
hammed's grave. Politicians then
paid good hard cash for votes; now
they send government garden seeds. X

A Good Soaking.

The rains which fell Tuesday
and Wednesday nights seem to
have been quite general over the
county and will certainly be of
great benefit to all, The north
western part of the county hav-
ing received the heaviest and
the extreme southwest the light
est rains. There was a good
rain at Lamar, Wednesday night
and at the Dinner Station there
was heavy rain accompanied
by severe hail storm. Up to
the present it has been unusual
ly dry but with plenty of rain
for the remainder of the season,
the crops will show very little
decrease from the crops of the
last few years.

An accident.
Mrs. ]. L. Petticrew lay on

before found.

Mrs. j. L. Petticrew, of Way
Side ranch, met with a very SER
ious accident on Wednesday of
last week. While driving from
a camp on Butte Creek, where
Mr.. Petticrew was holding his
cattle, to her home she was
thrown from the wagon and rem
dered unconscious from the fall.
No one was with her at the time
of the accident and she has very
little recollection of what occur
ed. When she regained con.
sciousness and attempted to rise
she would again relapse or faint
with the pain from her injuries,
and in this condition passed the
night on the prairies and was
not found until 10 o'clock the
following day. Mr. Petticrew
supposed she reached home while
the remainder of the family sup
posed that she was spending the
night at the camp, where they
were holding their cattle. She
was taken home and cared for
and is slowly recovering, and is
now able to be up again but still
suffering from the bruises sus-
tained by the accident.
