COM MMuNicATEp,
Editor Nome Daily Nugget.

Editor Nome Daily Nugget:
 l would pay no attention to an edi- tCrial published in you paper today un der the captain "Proh Pudor Jailors, ' if the writer had not seen fit to bring into the article a matter with which this office had absolutely nothing to do and to attempt to fasten the respon- @ibility for it upon those to whom il does not belong
 I admit that the suicide of the Esl;i- mo woman was due to gross careless ness
 But in the case of the escape of the murderer Johnston the writer of the article referred to should know that neither the marshal nor any of his c' rrties ar e'rI .es were in any way responsible for his escape He was ar rested by ar tffI"ei appointed by the governor p. Alaska and by him was pia>cG in charge of two guards who were to convey him to Nome and de liver him to the marshars office.
 On the voyage up and while still some 400 miles from Nome the prisoner made his escape. It is obvious that the responsibility for this escape does not belong to the marshals' office If the man had made his escape after reach ing here or had been in charge of anyone connected with the marshars office your criticism might have some foundation. but under the circum- stances it is manifestly unfair.

SHERMANS BEST NORMAL
CLOSED.

The Normal closed last Friday with
ninely-seven teachers taking the State
examination. We had about two
hundred wide-awake teachers in at
tendance. We had a FINE band Of
teachers. We feel that Sherman has
been made better by their lives touch
ing ours. It is good to have the asso-
citation Of these teachers who are to
build character and train the young
people Of the four counties to live in
reality.
Sherman is alive to school interest.
She has added a number Of new
homes and another teacher since a
year ago. We certainly are glad to
welcome the big new H. W. D. com
pany to Sherman. We are glad to
hear talk Of a brick factory,
Sherman is very anxious to have a
Tri.County Agricultural High School.
Figure how much less it would cost
the three counties and how much bet
ter the school would be. In union
there is strength" Just think what a
powerful school the three counties
could have and so much less tax.
Sherman is to have a new Method
ist church soon.

OUT CALLING

Another Sunday school story comes
from fashionable family in the High
lands. where the wee daughter Of an
intermittent attendant is one Of the
infant classes at a prominent church
says the Louisville Times. However
her Biblical knowledge may have sul-
fered, it goes to show that the little
miss has not failed in observation Of
other important details Of existence.
On one Of the recent fine Sundays
the little maid persisted in going to
Sunday school and. for the FIRST time
in her brief history by herself She
returned promptly apparently we'll sat
is6ed with digni6ed reserve be6Hing
a person who could negotiate such an
undertaking as that in which she had
been engaged.
Well. and who was at Sunday
school, Mabel? her mother asked after
an interval suitable to the decOrum Of
the occasion.
Oh, why everybody was there, was
the languid response.
But tell mother who was there, with
the emphasis on the was.
Why, mamma, Just everybody was
there-except Jesus, was the astound
ing reply.
Mabel Mabel What do you
mean? asked her shocked and panied
mother.
But, mamma, they we're and they
kept singing;
Jesus is calling, Jesus is calling.
and you know very well il he was out
calling he couldn't have been there.
