Alaska Dog Teams.

The average Alaskan would be
loath to go back on his dog team as
a near of transportation in the win
ter time. Travel by this method was
the first eve INDUCED in in Alaska,
and it promises to endure so long as
there are new fields to explore. In
the winter it is the only practicable
means of reaching the outlying dis
tricts at this time, and a good dog is
worth as much as Alaska as is a
horse in the states. The endurance
and speed of the animal are wonder
full, and the size of the loads trans
ported is almost incredible.

BOYS AND GIRLS WIN PRIZES
IN LOCAL DRAWING CONTEST
l.. S. Plaut s Co. Distribute Prizes end
Hundreds of Other Awards to
Young Artists.

In the spring the Nazareth Waist
Company of New York offered prizes
to the boys and girls of the United
States, not over IA years old, for the
best drawings that would contain a
LIKENESS of the Nazareth waist. This
is a garment for boys and girls known
to about every mother in the land.
The company has agencies in every
city, town and hamlet, through which
announcements were made, and to
whom local contestants were to send
drawings. L. S. Plaut & Co. were
designated recipients for drawings in
this part of the country.
The first national prize was $50; the
second. $25; third, SIS; fourth, $40;
fifth, IS. To these L. S. Plaut & CO.
added five cash prizes to go to New
Jersey contestants who did not share
- in the national prizes. Besides these,
! every other participant was to receive
"A minor award from the Nazareth
Waist Company.
With an article so we'll known. with
such incentives and publicity, 1t may
be well imagined what an interest the
contest awakened. L. S. Plaut & Co.
received over 1000 drawings alone,
y some coming from places as far dis
tam as Ohio. The contest closed May
18, but, on account of the great terri
tory covered and the tremendous num-
Der of drawings to be examined, the
New York firm could not announce the
results until about the 18th of last
month. And, 10 and behold, Newark
had won the first national prize. The
honor of bringing 1t to this city be-
longs to Miss Mackey, of 104 Summit
street. The other national prizes went
to Everett, Wash; Portsmouth, Va;
Richmond, Va, and Easton, Pa, in the
order named. The L. s. Plaut & Co.
special local prizes went to the follow
ing:
First. L. S. Plaut & Co. special prize

WOMAN IN BLACK
MAY HELP CLEAR
WILSON MYSTERY
Police Seek Mysterious Female
Who Left Card for Doctor
Day Before His Death.

PHILADELPHIA, July 13.-A woman
In black is now wanted In connection
with the murder of DR.. William II.
Wilson, whose death was caused by
poisoned ale.
With the inception of the search for
the woman in black the detectives have
developed a new theory-that possibly
the murderer of DIR. Wilson was a per-
son whom he had been asking for
money.
The detectives have a description of
the woman they are seeking. They de-
clare that she called at DIR. Wilson's
house the day before he was muir
dered, and on finding him out, left her
card with a neighbor of the physician.
She appeared to be refined and wore
stylish clothing entirely black.
Thus far the detectives have been
unable to find the ard left by the
woman. The neighbor who received it
could not read what was printed upon
the card. Before going away the wom-
an inquired what days DR.. Wilson
spent at home, and when she was told
that one of them vas the following
day-Friday. the day DR.. Wilson was
m~urdered-she said she would call then.
So far as the detectives have been
able to ascertain. the woman did not
call, as she promised.
The murderer of DR.. Wilson may
have committed suicide. The police
last night notified superintendent Tay-
Tor that the body of a mar answering

SEXES NEWARK WHISKEY:
TEST OF LAW LIKELY.

TRENTON, July 1s.-Thomas j, AL
colt. United States marshal, has just
made return OF twenty bottles Of
whiskey. which he seized at the ware
house of S. Froelich & Sons. in New
ark, under a libel charging that Froe-
Itch had in his place 100 cases of
whiskey of a widely known brand
which contained neutral spirits mixed
with whiskey and improperly labeled
"whiskey" in violation of the new pure
food act. The evidence is enough to
test the law for the first time in this
district. The Newark firm has in
formed the distillers of the seizure,
and it is likely that they will defend
the attack of the government on the
purity of their whiskey.

STRIKERS SHOOT OFFICERS.
Attack Train OF stFikebreakers and
Number Are Injured.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. July 18.-
Robert Gardiner. deputy sheriff,
was fatally wounded and at least a
dozen miners were more or less
seriously hurt as the result of an at
tack on train bearing strlkebreak-
ers to take the places OF strikers at
Jefferson, near here, today. The
train was in charge of IL deputies
and was en- route to Adamsville. The
union miners attempted to induce
the strikebreakers to leave the train
and threatened to kill If they went
to work.
Governor Conner has ordered
company of cavalry from Montgom-
cry to the scene and troops are al
ready on the ground under arms aud
will patrol the district tonight pre-
venting further disorders.
Deputy Gardiner. MORALLY wound
ed, was brought to Birmingham last
night. Deputy George Smith ac-
companied him and he estimates
that no less than 1000 shots were
fred by both sides in the attack at
Jefferson.
According to Smith the engage
ment was begun when a train Of
strikebreakers attempted to leave
Jefferson for Adamsville. Prior to
this a number of union miners had
made overtures to the strikebreakers
to join their ranks, threatening at
the same time to kill them In case
they attempted to work the mines
of the operators. In this emergency
the deputies attempted to have the
train run out of Jefferson under fire
If necessary. An open switch, how
ever. brought the engine to a stop
and in this predicament the deputies
and strikebreakers were fired upon.
Bullets riddled the train and that
many men were not injured and kill
ed is due to the fact that they fell
to the floor and remained there.
Thirteen deputies returned the fire
and they declare at least dozen
miners were either killed or serious
ly wounded. At this juncture Gard
liner fell MORALLY wounded.
The engagement was brought to an
end when the engine. having been
repaired, was enabled to make head
way. At o'clock last night every
thing on the outskirts was compar-
atlvely peaceful. the military having
reached Adamsyille, the report from
which place was greatly exaggerated.
There was a sharp brush at Adams
Vile yesterday afternoon, three
strike sympathizers being wounded
and thirteen arrested. The soldiers
we're encamped here last night.
