Price of Flour Approaches Top, and
No Relief Is in Sight.

AOpS anu
No Relief Is in Sight.
More serious in it's aspects is be-
coming the situation in the local
flour market. Prices continue to
soar, and housewives are feeling no
small bit of anxiety concerning the
future bread supply
Two dollars for a fifty pound sack
OF flour, eight dollars per barrel.
That is the price Dawson consumers
are forced to pay for this necessary
commodity as the result of the gamb-
ling raids of western spectators,
which have forced values to the high
est point reached since the civil war.
This section raises no wheat
scarcely enough to bait the dove
t1elds-and when the gamblers force
prices up the consumer is the suffer-
err.
At this price it will be necessary
for the people to do like a neighbor-
ing contemporary says they will have
to do in it's town-cut the biscuit
down to the size of a setting in a
diamond ring, and then to be looked
at only on holidays.

Negotiations Between Council and
Albany Power Co. Are OFF,

Negotiations Between Council and
Albany Power Co. Are OFF.
The proposition to secure from the
Albany Power Co. power with which
to operate the citys water and light
plant has been abandoned.
Messrs. Pickett and KilIebrew,
representing the Albany company,
appeared before the council Tues
day night and made a proposition
to furnish the city with power at 4
cents per killowatt hour provided
the city would advance $4,000 to
pay for the erection of a line to bring
the power to Dawson, this amount
to be repaid by the company. OF
course the council could not consider
contract that would require the
city to advance the Albany company
money for the erection of it's line,
and the matter was dropped after
very little discussion.

NO MERCY FOR MILLIRONS
An Odd Point Has Been Raised i'm
Connection With the White
Mans Plea For Life.

The prison commission has de-
clined to interfere with the execu-
ton of the sentence of Lewis Mill
irons, the white man who is con-
demned to die on the gallows in Clay
county next Tuesday.
Communication of the sentence was
asked on the ground that doubt as
to the real commission of the crime
charged exists.
Millirons was convicted in Clay
county on the charge of criminally
assaulting his step-daughter, Matte
Ingram. Seldom have the authori-
ties considered a case comprising
more revolving details. The little
girl was only Is years old at the
time OF the alleged offense.
Solicitor General Laing did not
recommend clemency for the con-
demned man, but it is known that
he would have been satisfied had the
prison board saved Millirons from
the gallows.
An odd legal feature arose in con-
nection with the plea in behalf of
the prisoner
The law of this state provides no
intermediary punishment between
20 years or less" and death for the
ofense of which Millirons was con-
victed, and Attorney General Hart
has given an unofficial opinion to
the effect that the extreme penalty
cannot be reduced to life imprison-
ment, but only to 800 years or less. Z"
Governor May Commute Sentence.
While he has not yet definitely
acted Governor Smith will, it is re-
ported, commute the sentence of
Millirons to life Imprisonment.

DEATH OF MRS. t. G. CHAPMAN
A Well-KnOwn Lady Passes Away at
Her Home Near BrOnWoOd.

"A WeII-hnoWn Lady Passes Away at
Her Home Near Brentwood.
The violets and lilies were abloom
in earthly gardens and she, a wife
of eleven short years and as radiant
an they, went to make fragrant the
garden Of our Lord.
So fair, so young, so full of spirit,
of joy, of vivacity, so loving and ten
der, so good and kind, she leaves
loving, aching hearts to mourn her
loss.
The rose of life was just bur-
geoning into perfect blossom when
10! the angel of Death bore her hence
to dwell forever in immortal youth
in the land of endless love.
Sleep sweetly in your narrow bed,
oh best beloved! The birds sing
their first morning carols near your
resting place, the flowers bloom with
a richer beauty, a rarer perfume, and
spring lovingly spreads her green
mantle to make fair the place of
your rest.
Loving hearts will enshrine for
ever the memory of your beautiful
life as a devoted daughter, loving
wife and mother, affectionate sister,
loyal and staunch friend.
Bravely, uncomplainingly she bore
her pain and tried hard to stay, but
it was decreed otherwise, and as
gently as a tired child clinging to
its dear mothers hand for support
and comfort she sank into peaceful
slumber. Her neice,
