ANNOUNCEMENT.

After a suspension of two years the Yukon Valley News, formerly printed at Rampant under my management, is resuming publication at Panama. am not unmindful of the present depressed condition of business and the difficulty prospectors among whom the paper has friends s- experience in earning the money necessary to buy outfits. Under the circumstances the paper will take it's chances along with the rest and will not squeal if it happens to get pinched in it's commissary department.
 To those unacquainted with the pa per's former course I desire to explain that it's sympathies were and will be with the people as they are; that it does not aspire to wield a whip, and that those who do not patronize it will not be assailed on that account At the same time it hopes to express its opin- ions as forcibly as possible without be- coming personally abusive.
 All persons whomsoever may make known through it's columns their views on matters of public interest, provided, always, that the language is temperate and private character is not besmirched.
 Personally, my feelings are intensely democratic. The paper is so small and relatively unimportant, however, that it can do but little to mend a system that is demoralizing not only the people in Alaska but in the body of the republic itself Meantime it will do it's duty as it sees it in its limited field, and will deny anybody's right to be it's master while not essaying to master anybody.
 Respectfully,
 SAM J. CALLAHAN.

They played thirty six innings and the game was called because the players were exhausted. The score stood ? to ?. Decker of the Selects struck out twenty men, and Robins of the Victors nineteen men.

COMPROMISE POSSIBLE.

Changing the name of the town Is one of the numerous tasks of reforma- tion the distinguished Tanana Leader has set itself After the sleepy village has been walked up and placed at the head of the procession in the march of progress, no name suggestive of lowly native origin-like "Tan a-na"-will be suffered to reflect the lgnominy of past conditions or mar the glory of future greatness.
 The new name has not yet been made public: that, apparently, is reserved for the eliminating stroke that will betoken complete conquest. Certain signs, how ever,-a word dropped here and inserted in official verbiage there,-are signifi cant. In fact, it is altogether proba ble that the name is already chosen and in readiness for the suspicious moment when the rechristening will occur.
 What is it to be?
 To certainty no man knoweth. As was said, there are signs; but two and two do not always make four. In proof, forcibly cast two overripe eggs into a receptacle; then follow with two more, and instead of the result being four eggs it will be bad smell.
 But still signs are signs. This is Fort Gibbon precinct. The military post is Fort Gibbon; the people of the upper Tanana valley, whence halls the United States commissioner who is the manager of the Leader, are said to rarely speak of this place except as Gibbon- the name of the military post with the word "Fort" left out. Walk down by the commissioner-newspa mans office and you will see fat young dog gnawing a bone near the door. An amiable specimen of his kind he is with no bad qualities not attributable to the thoughtlessness of youth: his name Is GIBBON. There you are. What is to hinder the commissioner from naming the town after his purp?
 But signs are only signs, and may be misleading. A writer in the Leader re- gently told the paper that it had under

ABBEVI i il, O. {. -.

The Free Lance" has had enough talk
about Pelagra, Consumption, Budonic
Plague, Small Pox and Bugs.
The Free Lance asks; What is to be
done tbout it all any way? When convenA
tions and conferences of specialists show
that about IS per cent, die from cancer and
kindred diseases: that 50 per cent are car
ried of by tuberculosis in its dozen forms,
and that the rest die from alcohol and
drugs, there seems little chance for get
ting out of this world in the good old
fashion way.
Suppose the people quit reading medical
almanac for a few years and skip the long
accounts of Pellagra, leprosy, tuberculosis
and the other new and terrible diseases
that are ready to pounce down on us, and
let the learned physicians discuss them to
their hearts content. Then in the home
let not disease be mentioned any more
than vice in its most hideous forms. Let
not ~neighbors give the details of the
worst cold" they ever had, or that mis-
cry" in the back or side, or that Swim
ming in the head" when the stomach is
loaded enough to make it sink.
Do not buy headache cures, tablets that
gives you an appetire, another tonic that
makes the food digest and then a cath
artic to get rid of it all. Talk health and
happiness, laugh off bad feelings look on
sickness as q self-imposed sin, q violation
of well understood laws. Eat plenty Of
plain, wholesome food with a liberal allow
ance Of good things, do not be afraid OF the
night air, let it in your bed rooms, drink
hours Of going to bed and getting up. Lay
aside all cares and troubles when the sun
goes down and throw all physic to your
neighbors dogs end live healthy, happy
lives. Do that and you will make home
bright and happy and drive off the fear Of
all these dreadful diseases. .
The Free Lance" is giving us some
good advice in the above expression. We
do see to much of Pelagoa, small pox, con-
sumption, ect, nowadays. When a little
brown place comes on the dack Of the
hand We throw a pelagra fit Immediately.
If we have a sore mouth, the jig is up, we.
We got it in the last stages. AS the medi-
cos renumerate the symptoms we find
that the whole chain is around our neck
Little wonder is it that so many Of us are
hypochondriacs to-day. II we read the
papers and at the same time are troubled
with a bad liver, there is no other possible
out come, A man with a bad liver can
can easily imagine that he has any thing
from pelagra to warts, nor does 1t require
any great stretch Of immaginstion either.
If we could take the advice offered by
the Free Lance" we would be infinitely
better off. How much happier would we
bn if we knew nothiog about these things.
We make up aur minds to let pelagra
literature pass but tomorrow we will pc
ruse a paper in which Is an article headed
''Pelagra Cnred" and, Of course, that is the
very thing we wish to see most, and so
we will read it
We pay full price for our civilization. for
our great strides in knowledge, we PAY full
price.

Splendid Home Of Miss Maggie Brooks
Burns.

On last Saturday night at II o'clock
the residence Of Miss Maggie Brooks was
discovered to be on fire. Before the fire
brigade could reach the place the house
was almost destroyed.
Not more than IL or IA feet from this
house is another which was in eminent
danger. On the other hand "a the resi-
dence of Mr.. VIM. Graydon. 1t caught
several times but the blaze was immedi-
ately ~extinguished.
On account of the proximity of these two
houses to the burning house it looked for
a while as if the entire row would 60. The
fire fighters have never done better battle
than in this instance. Its to their credit
that entire row is not in ashes. Burning
shingles were carried up in the vortex and
and fell blazing hundreds Of yards from
the fire.
1t is understood that Miss Brooks had
insurance amounting to $4,000 on house
and furniture. Very few things were
saved, owing to the time Of the burning
the fire had made too much Roadway
before it was discovered.
1t is thought that the fire originated
from defective wire or wiring.

Taft Luncheon.

Now will you, "Thoughtless, uniformed,
or malicious newspapers" put i'll the pi
box all that stuff concerning those meal
tickets?
Washington has been written to about
it and Washington says it's O. K. Atlanta
was asked about it and Atlanta says that's
the way she does things. New Orleans
was requested to say how she did and
New Orleans says Columbia did as she
did. Savannah also on being asked her
opinion says virtually the same thing, so
take in your feelers all We 'thoughtless,
uninformed or malicious" sheets and for
get that you eve dreamed "Old Ben"
might have some right on his side.
If there is a single he of you thought
less, uninformed or malicious quartos who
has the temerity to say anything in the
face Of what Washington, with a big "W,"
says, and of what Atlanta with a big GA"
says, and of what a few other seaport
towns say, then you are squelched, do
you understand? Squelched!
You see it was this way. There was
some doubt about the prOpriety of man
aging the affair as it was managed, and
we "ordered off" to Washington for in
formation, just as we "order of" to Rouse
Hazard, Chicago, for razor blades. The
article mailed from Washington was, of
course, better than anything around here,
just like Rause Hazards razor blades are
better than any our hardware folks sell
here in South Carolina. \
Now, do you 'thoughtless, uniformed,
or malicious" little bivalves begin to see
a flicker Of light? If you don't then turn
over the shop to the devil and crawl into
the hell box, Oh you son Of a-Good
evening ladies!

On Friday evening a fire was reported
Rykard heard q rumor that it was his
house. He telephoned to Greenwood but
could get no reply and remained in town
over night hoping that the rumor was
false. On Saturday morning, however, he
received q message confirming the rumor.
He lost his home and about all he had in
it. Those at the home were fortunate
in saving all the corn.
Mr.. Rykard contemplates building again
He had no insurance.

One Of His Best Acts.

One of the best act Of Major McMillon
was that of last week, when his interview
with some street preachers, were induced
to shake the dust OF the city from their
feet. These men spoke where the crowds
obstructen the side walks and they made
assertions about the people which were in
sulting. We believe they called them
selves missionaries, and that they acted
like missionaries, or their agents, in
handing around the hat.

POOR LAND.
A coIIoquy between Boggs Wide
man md Alb Atkins.

Alb Atkins, colored, was at work on
piece of very poor long cane grit, plant
ing cotton, when Boggs Wideman made
his appearance.
Says Boggs, adkins, what in the devi,
are you doing herc?"
Says Atkins, I'm planting cotton boss,
don't you see"
planting cotton in these rocks?" quer-
ries Boggs.
Sure thing" say Adkins.
Says Boggs "you are the biggest fool
I happen to know, and l know several.
"Why says he" Adkins, if you were to die
and they were to bury you in this field,
unless they filled your grave half full Of
stable manur you wouldn't rise Judge
ment day!
THAT that that certainly is pool
land" says Atkins.

Anent Beggars as Migrants.

If man doesn't work and has no visible
means of support, he is arrested as a va
grant. If the same man should 60 around
to our houses and beg, or If he braznely
goes upon u public square and pro-
claims his own triflingness or inability to
work he escapes arrest. This would seem
to make an Internal beggar more respect
able than is the citizen who is too lazy to
work. Run the beggar out.

ENTOMBED MINER
ESCAPES DEATH
Michael Keller Is Buried for
Twelve Hours Before Res
CuerS Arrive.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Eureka, Sept 25.-With a boulder on
his neck and twenty feet of rock and
debris between him and the open air,
Michael Keller endured twelve hours
and ten minutes of pain and terror be-
fore he was rescued tonight. Keller
and his partner, P. o. Anderson, were
working in the Eureka Hill nina at
OClOCk this morning when a cavein
buried Keller He had been reefing
in Wine close to a waste bulkhead
ON the 500-fOOt level and Anderson
was about forty feet away when the
caVeln came without any warning.
Anderson hurried to superintendent
Charles Baker who Immediately sum-
moned every man in the line, inClud-
ing many leasers, and made up a res
cue party Of fourteen. They realized
Keller had slim chance for life, al
though there was a hole at which a
little air could come in. The men
worked with terrific energy. At
o'clock they heard Keller groan, and
after that they were able to talk with
him at times. Rescue work was
prosecuted with great difficulty, as
side spiling had to be put in all the
time to prevent the rescue party from
being entOmbed.
During the afternoon when the res
cuers got close enough to him, Keller
send my money to my sister in Colo
RADIO Springs"
This was his only moment of de-
spOndenCy. The rest of the time he
showed wonderful fortitude An eff
fort was made to give him whisky
but his head was held down by
boulder so he could not swallow. He
said that for a long time after the
cavein he had been unconscious, and
even after he was taken into the open
air he did not seem at first to realize
Just where he was.
He possesses a robust physique, and
tonight he had recovered except for
numerous bruises. The rescue party
headed by superintendent Baker con-
sisted Of the following volunteers:
FurgesOn, Charles Johnson, Kent Har-
per. Alex. Rolla, Stephen Angelo. VIII
liam Nelson, Lee Madsen Charles
Murrish, John Martin, Richard May and
Richard May, Jr,
Keller was entombed in a crouching
position from 9 o'clock this morning
until $40 o'clock this evening Some
OF the rescue party worked so hard
they are laid up temporarily.
