TWO MORE BOSTON BANDITS
 ARE CAPTURED
BALDWIN SECURES SINGER.

George Baldwin announces to the music lovers nf Nom, Flat he has becI. successful in engaging for one concert Miss Crystal Snow and Miss Dazie Strumsttdt. These talented young Ia dies have just finished tour of the upper country and have met with marvellous success in the various Yu k"n cities Miss Snow is soprano l"sgina of wonderful range and ability while Miss Stronstadt is a planis,c possessing talent and technique. he solo work being of the finest.
 The Fairbanks papers say of Miss Shows concert in part: Miss Snow has ar unusually wide range and cv- cry note is full and round and sweet from the lowest to the highest. She sang the afr from Robert Ie Diablc" with great ease and power Miss Stromstadt Is a brilliant pianiste. and the work of these ladies Is a treat to finger long in the memory"
 The Dawson Daily News Joins its American contemporaries in saying "The musicale given last evening wa- one ofthe most enjoyable treats af- forded Dawson in months. Governor | Alexander Henderson presided and at one place favored with recitation. The audience was the largest which has gathered here this year Miss Snow won the affections of her audi enec for two reasons. one because of her sweet voice and the other because she is a northern woman having grown from childhood in the land of the mid night sum-
 Miss Snow will be remembered as the daughter of Geo. T. Snow. the pfon- ger theatrical man of the Yukon, and she has the hard-earned distinction of being the first white child over the famous chileoot Pass.
 It Is with great regret that MT. Bald win announces only one concert of these talented musicians. but Miss Snow leaves for Seattle on the North western. whence she win proceed to Paris for completion of her musical education.
 The only concert given by these la dies in Nome will be on next Sunday evening in Eagle all. where treat is assured to Nome's theater goers.

How He Slept.
His Experience With Noisy
Cuckoo Clock.

Wertz recently was presented
with an old fashioned clock
That evening he hung it on hi;
bedroom wall, wound it up anc
after admiring il awhile wen
to sleep. He was drifting into
very pleasant dreams when he
was startled.
"Coo-coo, coo-coo!"
Wertz sat up with a start, but
in an instant recovered his wits
and listened to eight more COO
COOS with a foolish grn. Then
he lay back and went to sleep
again.
He had got into fine doze
by the time the thing went off
again. This time he didn't
grin.
Wertz is a light sleeper, and,
though he tried to get used to
the thing, he gave up after the
cuckoo had announced 2 o'clock
and got up and stopped the
clock,
Next evening Wertz junior,
who had not seen the clock,
went to look at it.
"Why, it's stopped" he said.
What is wrong?"
Wertz senior stroked his chin.
Maybe l didn't wind it this
morning." he replied. 'Ferd,"
he continued generously, eff you
will promise to wind that clock
every morning I'll let you have
it for your room"
Wertz Junior was delighted
and the transfer was made.
AT the BREAKFAST table next
morning the heir of the house
of Wertz looked tired and some
what sheepish, but offered no
explanation. After considerable
general conversation his father
said:
"Yoa look tired. How did
you sleep last night2"
Wertz junior yaWned.
"By the hour" he answered.

it arrant folly to underesti-
mate the good they can accom-
Iplish, good which they perform
without effort or expense on our
part beyond what is necessary
in spreading this campaign of
education and exposition.
Now is the time to organize
the fight, to get concerted ac-
tion to appeal the boards of SUI
pervisors to appoint the war
dens authorized by law, so that
provisions against promiscous
bird killing may be carried out.
We give here a list of those
birds known to eat the boil wee

cording to the number of boil
weevils eaten per bird, as
shown by stomach examlna-

Positive Cure for Scarlet
Fever.

The Chronicle is in posses
sion of the following informa-
ton which we regard as timely
and, as it comes from DR.. j. j.
|McElree, secretary of the Mis-
souri, State Board of Health,
we believe it worth while to try
the remedy on existing cases of
scarlet fever.
The doctor says; 81 herewith
append a recipe which has been
used to my knowledge in hun
dreds of cases. 1t will prevent
or cure. When Jenner discov-
cred the cow-pox in England
the world of science overwhelm-
ed him with fame, but when the
most scientific school of medi-
cine in the world, that of Paris,
published this recipe it passed
unheeded. 1t is unfailing as
fate, and conquers in every in
stance"
1t cures both scarlet fever
and smallpox in twelve hours.
Here is the remedy: Sulphate

Campaign for Boil Weevi
Exterminators.

The Mississippi Audubon So
.ciety are very wisely starting a
campaign for the awakening of
public sentiment for the protec-
ton of those birds who will ma
terially assist in the destruction
OF the cotton boil weevil. In
their call to the people of Mis-
sissippi, President Hemingway
and his associate officers, say {:
"If we consult the findings of
the department OF agriculture
on the question of boil weevil
destruction by birds, we shall
doubtless conclude that it is
time to launch a great cam
paign all over Mississippi to
enforce the laws now on our
statute book for the protection
of insectivorous birds. Work
ing with a will, in unison, and
at small expense, the intelligent
farmers and other citizens OF
this state, can quickly create
a sentiment in favor of bird
protection that will have more
influence in checking the pro
gress of the boil weevil than
expenditure of thousands of
dollars for poisoning, seed Sc
lection and special methods of
cultivation.
The rendering Of cotton re
sistant, or entirely so, to boil
weevils is predetermined at best
When a bird eats a boil wee
vii there is an end of it, and
while we do not claim the pos.
sibility of the determination Of

of zinc, one grain; digitals, one
grain; sugar, one-half teaspoon
full. Dissolve in a wine glass of
soft water which has been boil
ed and cooled.
Take a teaspoonful every
hour. Either smallpox or scar
let fever will disappear in 12
hours. For children the dose
age.
If communities, says DR.. Nc
Elree, will compel the use of
this treatment there will be mo
need of pest houses. If you
value your life Use this remedy.

Returns so far received make
it certain that the new divorce
law has been approved by a
large majority of the voters.
This is expected to put the So
called divorce mills" out of
business.
The proposed amendment to
the constitution requires a res
idence of one year in order to
make one a legal resident of the
state and eligible to apply to
the courts for release from mat
rimonial bonds. Hitherto only
six months residence has been
necessary.
Another provision requires
that all divorce cases shall be
heard at a regular term of the
court. The secrecy which has
enabled applicants to secure di-
vorces without publicity has
brought the law into disfavor.
The new law is to take effect in
December.

The Fate Of Romeo.

Once more has a real life Ro-
meo, to employ colloquialisn
got his.
This particular Romeo was
passioning in an Arkansas Jul
lets garden. Lady, by yon-
der blessed moon / swear, that
tips with silver all these fruit
tree tops" quoth he. Where
upon Pa, unable longer to re-
strain his impotence, opened
the pantry window and let fly
with both barrels.
Romeo spent the next two
hours in the hands of the doc
tors while they picked the bird
shot and poesy out of him.
We hate to say it, but our
sympathies are altogether with
Pa. Love-making is the grand
staple of poetry, drama and fic-
ton; but in ife it is the most
annoying of all phenomena.
Witnessing the immortal bal
cony scene upon the stage, our
breast is suffused with pure
and tender emotion. Witness
ing it in real life, we instantly
put down the young man for
an idiot and the young woman
to judge her in the hndliest
possible manner-for an eX-
ceedingly indiscreet female.
We have known middle-aged
ladies to sigh, moist eyed, over
the love-making of the poor in
fiction, and grow purple with
wrath at catching the iceman
kissing the cook; and younger
sisters who devoured the love-
makingest novels they could
find, but wishe dto know, in
dignantly, whether the police
weren't going to stop this dis
gushing spectacle of spooning in
the park.
There should be romance in
literature. 1t is the only place
where people will tolerate it.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
Subject of Address Before Woman's
Press Association.

Probable Future of Initiative and Ref
erendum'' was the subject of a lecture by
George III. SHIRLEY last evening at the
Riggs House under the auspices Of the
Woman's National Press Association.
Mrs Ruth G. Peeler. the recently elected
president of the association. presided and
Mrs. Beiva a. Lockwood was seated or
the platform. The music was contributed
by Miss Jessamine Luten. pianist. and
Miss Lillian Chenoweth. contralto.
Initiative and referendum" Mr.. Shib-
ley said. lis a modern system whereby
the people possess an option 10 vote direct
on public questions. The result is the
peoples rule. The earlier system Tor
direct voting on public questions was the
town meeting in the several sections of
the north and elsewhere at mass meet
ings. In this way the people possessed
an option to instruct their representatives.
Today VIC can instruct delegates to party
conventions, but the people are powerless
to instruct a representative after he is
elected. The system is machine rule and
where one man gets all the strings in his
hands il is boss rule.

The Cat and Dog Question.

To the Editor of The Star:
/ notice that Commissioner Macfarand
has received but one letter protesting
against his proposed tax on cats. That
may be so. but / think if he could hear
the family comments on the subject he
would conclude that the public is inter-
eSted in 1t.
The first idea that strikes one is the
strong desire the part of the officials
to increase our taxes and IL this PROJECT
is carried out the next thing will be a tax
on the air we breathe, even though 1t be
saturated with smoke from locomotives,
etc.
Personally. I would be glad to dispense
with the nightly serenades of the alley
cats. but | don't see just how it is to be
done. No tax can be collected on Them
because no one owns them. and as to
catching them, The Stars cartoon shows
what the result would be if attempted
But suppose they could be caught and
destroyed. what then about the alley rats.
which multiply at from sixty to seventy
five per annum. according to the authori-
ties and which, together with the flies, 1t
is now we'll known. are the great distrib-
uters of disease germs. including typhoid,
| which has prevailed to SO great an eX-
tent of late years?
Disagreeable as are the alley cats. they
are hundred times less dangerous and
in furious than are the rats, and If you
decrease tie cats you will increase the
~
frying pan into the fire. so there you are.
good family mouser is a good thing to
have about the house, and a bright small
watch dog is a great protection to the
premises. especially during those hours of
the night when burglars ply their trade,
and the police man is not around.
The 81 now paid as a tax on dogs l do
not think is exorbitant. but to raise 1t to
| $40 and apply it to the ordinary house
cat strikes me as eXorbitant and ridicu-
! lous.
1t would seem to be far more just to fix
the tax at certain per cent on the value
| at which the owners appraise their cats
| and dogs. the same as on other property.
Then those who have more money than
they need and who pay from 500 to $500
| for a cat. kept for show or for breeding.
would pay as they should much more
than the ordinary citizen who keeps plain
! mouser in the house.
l would suggest the same plan for dogs.
| with this addition. that their tax should
be further increased in proportion to their
size and ferocty. and thus as far as pos
sb,e dissuade persons from keeping the
| fie rec bulldogs and Great Danes which
| so frequently attack children and others
| on the street. W. H. DODGE.
