LIP BUTTONS.
Queer Ornaments Worn by Natives Of
Northern Alaska.

Queer Ornaments Worn by Natives Of
Northern Alaska.
Perhaps the most interesting archae-
illogical discovery made on the north
coast of Alaska has a relation to the
present methods Of personal decora-
ton now used by the natives of Alas
ka, the most significant feature of
which Is the wearing of lip buttons. or
labrets. by the men.
The present custom is that when a
boy Is fourteen or sixteen years OF age
holes are pierced In his lower lip. one
below each corner OF the mouth. A
small wooden plug Is at FIRST inserted
to keep the hole from growing to-
gether. and month by month bigger
aud bigger plug IL used. till finally the
openings are half an inch In diameter.
At this point the young man begins
to wear stone or ivory plugs These
ornaments are put In from the inside
ordinarily as one might insert a but
ton into shirt front. Usually the two
buttons worn are each of different
sort. while sometimes only one OF the
holes is tiiled. and In summer men are
occasionally met with who wear no
buttons at all.
When visitor Is seen approaching.
however. the ornaments are always in-
serted. for one does not feel dressed
without them. In preparing for sleep
they are usually removed.-v. Stefans-

FoUeAT RAIlRoAO NINE. YEARs
Widow Finally Secured $4,000 For
Husbands Death


In an article in the June McClure's
on THE Cruelties Of Our Courts"
John NJ. Gitterman tells how Mrs.
Thomas Kane waited more than nine
years for damages for. the death of
her husband a fireman, who was kill
ed on the Erie railroad:
''Juries are proyerbially tender
hearted toward widows in cases of
this kind, and in the trial court Mrs.
Kane received verdict for $4,000.
The Erie railroad promptly took the
case to the Circuit Court Of Appeals.
On August Is, 1902-five years after
Fireman Kane's death,-this tribunal
set aside the $4,000 verdict and order
ed new trial. The fremans widow
appealed to the higher federal court.
This time justice moved with com
paratiye rapidly, for eight months
later in December, 1904 the Circuit
Court of Appeals handed down an
other decision, this time in Mrs
Kanes favor 1t awarded her no
damages of course; it merely decided
that the. verdict Of the lower court
was not in accordance with the law
and the facts, and therefore set it
aside.
"On her third appearance in the
trial court, however, Mrs. Kane re-
ceiyed summary treatment. Judge
Cochran refused to let the case go to
the jury, directing a verdict in favor
of the Erie railroad. Apparently
nothing could discourage the indomi-
table Mrs. Kane for she promptly APP
pealed the case. Justice Richards set
aside the verdict and ordered a new
trial. And now, for the fourth time,
Mrs. Kane started the litigation in
the trial court. This time she won.
But the Erie railroad again appealed.
The decision rendered by the higher
court on June 26, 1907 shows that the
case was getting on the nerves even
of the learned justices. This case
has now been here four times, the
opinion read. There must be an end
Of litigation II decided in favor of
Mrs. Kane. The ever-patient Erie
railroad, however, was still unsatis-
fled and hailed Mrs. Kane before the
Supreme court of the United States.
1t was not until this body refused to
interfere with the verdict that the
corporation accepted the inevitable
and paid the claim sometime after
November IL, 1907"

Why They We're
Certified

Being a state official and authorized
to authenticate documents, have
been called upon in my official capac-
ity to authenticate hundreds OF state
ments that are so at variance vita
the popular beliefs. and the evidence
OF the text books, as to the durability
OF chronic kidney disease, that the un-
usual precaution was taken to have
them authenticated with an official
seal.
Text books declare that inflammat-
Ion OF the kidneys In the chronic
forms Is incurable.
Several hundred letters and state
ments selected because they were
from supposed ircurables we're pres
ented for attestation and certificates.
The recoveries reported by them per-
NIT only two views, viz either the age
Of miracles has not passed or the text
books are wrong and the supposed
dead line between the durable and the
incurable forms Of kidney disease has
disappeared To my mind there is
no escape from the latter view, and
chronic kidney disease, even In its
worst forms. is no longer an incurable
malady.
further certify that tae recoveries
certified to rs above were made by
Fulton's Renal Compound.
In attestation OF the foregoing
hereby attach my signature and oiiici-
al seal az my Office IN Montgomery

Mir Ogden is frequent visitor to this section and is we'll pleased at reports from his interests. He will later go to the Arizona Central mines in the Black Hills, in which he is also interested, to make an examination of that property, which is under development under the superinten- dency ofJ.

 Arizona Silver Belt: The Will Hams shaft of the National Mining Exploration company is down 7S4 feet. At this depth, the station will be cut and a stage is being erected in the shaft now, prepara- tory to cutting of this station.

After these improvements have been made, drifting on the Black Hawk vein, north and south, will begin and will practically parallel the workings on the sixth level above Two of the drifts on the 660 foo level above are progressing at tht rate of three feet a day.
