No Kick Against Checks Under 81.

Ordinary checks used to pay debts do
not come under the United States statute
to be retained in the new criminal code
now being drawn prohibiting the writ
ing of a check for less than 81. The
statute applies, attorneys says. only to
the shinplaster and promissary notes in
vogue during the Civil war.
The statue has been obsolete these
many years, " it is authoritively stated.
The statue refers to notes intended
to circulate as money Writing a
check in payment of a bill and designed
to figure in a single transaction would
not be considered money The law
was necessary in the daysTof shinplas-
tiers following the Civil war and Is all
right to have on the statute books yet,
but it has no practical bearing on condi-
tions today"

|, YOUNG MAN KILLED At
sWANTON SATURDAY NIGHT
MahIon MCllVaine Sweitzer Hurled to
Death BY Train No. IL.

Mahlon McIlvaine Sweitzer, a son Of
Mr.. John ]. Sweitzer of Swanton, was
killed on the railroad at Swanton about
9:30 O'Clock Saturday evening, January
Sth, 1910. Speculation is rife as to the
manner of the actual occurrence, and
opinions widely differ.
1t appears after nine O'Clock in the
night young Sweitzer arrived with a
buggy and horse in the rear of the store
on the South side of the railroad. After
talking a brief while with two young
men he drove in the direction of his
home; this was the last time he was
seen alive. From the rear of the sta
ton building he followed a narrow way
down the south margin of the railroad,
a distance of about two hundred yards
to a close proximity of a crossing over
the railroad track. Here the curves in
both directions are acute, permitting
very short views either up or down, and
no doubt, he discovered a freight train
rounding the curve going west on the
opposite track. because it can be seen
in the snow that he backed the horse
and buggy as far from the track as the
near bank would allow. The noise of
that train kept him from hearing an ap-
preaching train on the closer rails going
east. AS the engine of the westbound
freight left the way clear he drove
down few yards turned sharply to the
left on the crossing just in time to be
caught by No. II running east. The
buggy was demolish, only fragments
left along the track. Sweitzer, an
agile young man, less tnan twenty
year of age, either sprung forward or
was dashed forward by the suddenness
of the impact, landed in a central posi-
ton between the bars of the north
bound track. In the fall upon a cross
lie the neck apparently was dislocated
with embrasure and perforation about
he head and face as the only mutia-
tons. The horse, most strange to say,
Escaped injury without scar.

THE DEATH RECORD.
MRS. WILLIAM WILBUR KNOX.

MRS. WILLIAM WILBUR KNOX.
From Pittsburg paper of last FIJI
day the following notice Of the death Of
Ms. William Wilbur Knox, of Alliance.
Ohio, is taken. For the past ten years
Mrs. Knox has spent the summer in
Garrett county with Mrs. E. Funden-
berg, Of Oakland:
"A message yesterday announced the
death of Mrs. William Wilbur Knox at
Alliance. Ohio. Death resulted from a
stroke of PARALYSIS. Mrs. Knox, who
was Miss Georgiana Josephine Morse,
lived near Chicago until her marriage
to Mr. Knox, whose father, Rev. Jere-
miah Knox. won distinction by success
ful methods of horticulture on his farm,
'Iesmore, on the hills and in the val
leys of what is now the borough of
Knoxville. The son conducted the
farm at Rev. Knox's death. A little
over a decade ago and for MANY years
previous, "Lesmore" was the scene of
many entertainments and open-hearted
hospitality, and the hostess was not
only popular for her generosity, but for
her appreciative, sympathetic mind,
keen wit, sense of humor and loyal
friendship. After the death of her
husband in Europe several years ago,
Mrs. Knox spent much of her time in
travel and finally took up her residence
in Alliance, Ohio. Two children, Mrs.
Joseph Patterson, of Philadelphia, and
Charles Knox, who since his marriage
has lived IN Virginia and Washington,
survive"

Must Have Been Bad There.

A Piedmont special to the Wheeling
Inteligencer says:
Gigantic gorges of ice near the
Piedmont public school have endan-
gered the lives of the teachers and
pupils. The creek is the highest in re-
cent years and school has been dis
missed until the gorges break. Never
in the history of Piedmont has there
been so much ice collected on the
streets of the city. All streets are
solid glare of ice, making walking very
dangerous. Many people have fallen
and badly injured themselves.

What Mr.. Murray Says.

Mr.. Oscar G. Murray, president of
he B. & o. R. K. Co, has published a
very able and strong defense of the
affairs of the company from 1896, the
date the receivers took charge. until
the present time. The article was
written in reply to the recent criticisms
of the Baltimore Sun, and it must be
conceded that Mr.. Murray makes a
strong case, so far as his personal di-
rection and management is concerned,
but it does not dispose of the allegation
that the Pennsylvania road is not the
dominating power in its control.

MISS VAUDA THASHER.

Miss Vauda Thrasher, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank H. Thrasher, of
Deer Park, died Sunday night at the
home of her sister, Mrs. W. H. Faust,
near Lexington, Georgia, after few
days illness Of what was thought by
her physician to be tonsihtis. Miss
Thrasher went south several months
ago and was engaged in teaching near
Lexington when she was taken ILL.,.
She resided with her sister. who was
married two years ago to Rev. Faust,
when that gentleman was engaged in
ministerial work in Garrett county.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
news of their daughter s death MIR. and
Mrs. Thrasher left for Georgia. The
latter was taken i'll on the train and
when it arrived in Cumberland it was
deemed inexpedient for her to go any
further and she returned home, Mr..
Thrasher continuing the journey alone.
AS yet no word has been received from
him and it is not known whether the
funeral will occur in Georgia or the re-
mains will be brought home for inter-
ment. The deceased young lady was
well and favorably known by a large
circle of friends and her untimely death
will be learned of with deep regret.
She was aged twenty-one years and
prior to going south taught the Chad
derton school for two years.

Several complaints have lately come to The Alaskan concerning the practice of allowing bowling on the EIks alleys when entertain ments or plays are being gwen in the auditorium in the same building. Several times during the entertain ment Monday evening given by the Catholic women the soloists were almost drowned out by the noise of the bowling next door. The same thing happened when the Cottage Band of Sitka gave performance at Elks hall some weeks ago and has occurred at several other entertain ments.
 It would seem that the intervening wall should be so deadened that the noise of the bowling need not inter. fere with the pleasure of the people who have rented the hall, or else that the alleys be closed on such nights.
 It is to be hoped that something will be done to remedy this feature.

turn the present council to office, the opposition of The Record would in itself supply sufficiently potent motive for this being done. The Record stands first and foremost for the gang, and it would indeed prove a calamity if the gang got in, to power in Juneau.
 Happily. however The Records opposition will only serve as a boost to the present councilmen. Last year the Record opposed Valentine and his associates with all the bitter malignity possible;' but notwithstand- ing. there was no opposition ticket in the field.
 With the opposition of The Record and the support of the better ele, ment in town. Mayor Valentine and his fellow councilmen will almost certainly be reelected. Indeed. as yet there is no opposition ticket in the field.

THE ELECTION AT JUNEAU

The citizens of Juneau have shown confidence in Mayor Valentine and the other members of the present council by nominating every man on the council as a candidate for re election. This is the highest com pliment that could be paid to the men who have served the municipality in the past year; and this faith Is de- served. for the present council at Juneau has worked consistently for the welfare of the community and done much for the interests of the town.
 As usual the Juneau Record is now plaintively demanding that a new council be elected in the interests Of harmony" The kind of "har- mouy" that The Record wants is the rule or ruin kind. Failing to control the present council by coercion: and the pet interests of some of its friends and packers having been step ped upon. The Record is anxious to remove Valentine and his colleagues from office.

FIND WATER IN MILK
FROM A. B. c. DAIRY
Big Majority of Milkmen, However,
Furnish Product Above
the Standard.

Out of twenty-six samples of milk taken
from dairy wagons while on their routes
in Salt Lake only four fell below the re-
quired standard for butter fat and solids.
The samples were taken by the food and
dairy commissioner office, and tests OF
the samples made by Herman Harms, city
chemist. All of the milk was shown to
be clean and without sediment, but no
account was made of the temperature
of the milk-a point which, it is expected,
will cause the city a lot of trouble this
summer in keeping all the milk at d
temperature not exceeding IS degrees.
Prosecution will be started at once
against the A. b. c. dairy. according to
City Dairy Commissioners Walter j.
Frazier. He said the report from the
city chemist plainly showed that water
had been used in the milk. Letters will
be written to A. BendicksOn. the gle
dairy and the Diamond dairy, warning
them that their milk is not up to standard.
and that~it will have to be improved. The
DercentageS of the diaries follow.
