ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL.

In response to a call for nurses at St. Joseph's hospital several ap- plicants presented themselves, and a sufficient number has been en. gagged to carry on the work of the hospital until the arrival of the new staff from the outside. It is not known exactly when the sisters will arrive from the states, but Father Monroe expects to hear definitely within the next week or two. There is such wide field for the sisters in the states that it is not always an easy matter to get volunteers for Alaska at short notice, although no difficulty is expected in the pres ent instance.

GOOD SHOW IS 0N

The Howard company has been playing to full houses during the week. On Monday last they opened with The Witching Hour," and the repeated applause which greeted the actors testified to the manner in which the play was produced Mir Howard was at his best and all in the cast acquitted themselves ad mirably. Guy Hitner scored as judge and Miss Dunn also proved herself an accomplished actress.
 The Witching Hour" was repeated on Tuesday night, and was again well received.
 On Wednesday the Howard com. pany presented that amusing com, edy Other Peoples Money" From start to finish the audience was con vulsed with laughter. MT. Howard could not have acquitted himself better. Guy Hitner also received considerable applause for the way he performed his part. The ladies in the cast, Miss Betty Jonson, Miss Dunn, and Miss Dorcas Mathews did ex- cellent work.
 Owing to the political debate there was no performance on Thursday, but on Friday evening the con- pany played Christopher, Jr," to a good house. It is almost unneces- sary to comment upon the play, as everything that the Howard company has produced so far has been first rate. If possible Christopher, Jr." was better than those which preced- ed it and there should be a record attendance tonight when the play will be repeated.
 Tomorrow Sunday night) this clever combination will present the famous farce comedy "Charley's Aunt" favorite bill of MT. How ards, which will undoubtedly draw a crowded house, as numerous thea tre-goers will want to see how the local talent, which appeared in this play year or so ago, will compare with these professionals. The cur tain will not rise until 9:45 in order not to interfere with attendance at the churches.

TRIES ID FIRE A
 W0ODP|LE

Another case of incendiarism is re. ported from Graehl.
 A few days ago a man who was going out to the creeks saw smoke issuing from woodpile along the roadside. about mile out of Graehl, in the direction of Birch Hill. Ar irving at the woodpile it was found that a fire had been carefully kin dled far into the pile. in such a position that it was impossible to reach the fire. With the aid of q passer-by the first man managed to remove a large portion of the wood above the fire, and eventually sue ceeded in reaching and extinguishing it. His disinterested action was thus the means of saving 200 cords of wood for some person unknown to him.
 He states that as he approached the woodpile a man ran from it and disappeared in the bush. This man had on gray Stetson hat and overalls, but neither coat nor vest.

FELIX PEDRO DEAD

Felix Pedro, the first man to discover gold in the Fairbanks vi cinity. passed away at St. Joseph's hospital on Friday morning, at o'clock. Mir. Pedro had been suffer ing for several weeks from heart trouble, which became acute about week ago, and it soon became ap- parent that he could not survive.
 Mir. Pedro first came to the Fair banks region in the year 1900, and made the discovery on Pedro creek which led to the stampede here in the year 1902. He formerly prospect ed at Circle and other points on the Yukon river, and is said to have ac- cumulated a snug little fortune.

THE SCHOOL FINANCES

When the council was in session last night, Councillor Callahan said that he thought that the school board should render itemized ac- counts of their expenditures to the council. He also thought that the school books should be audited as a matter of business. They had been running the school finances for years in haphazard fashion. The council had right to know how their money was being spent. MT. Callahan said that he understood that they were paying a janitor $175 a month. He thought this was unnecessary at the present time. In any case he thought the janitor should be able to exc cute all minor repairs.
 The mayor said there was only one way to look after the matter. Either the council had a right to demand itemized accounts or they had not. If the council had the right they would ask for them, if they had no right they would not. He called upon the city attorney for an opinion.
 The city attorney gave it as his opinion that the council could not compel the board to submit a de- tailed statement. If any citizen 
 thought that the funds were not be- ing properly spent he could bring the matter before the grand jury, who would act in the matter. The council was protected by the bond which the trustees was called upon to furnish.

THE LOAD WAS TOO GREAT

In last weeks issue the Citizen stated that Abe Spring was treasur, CT of the Republican funds. Today we received the following communica tion from Mir. T. A. Marquam: Republican Territorial Central Com mittee.
 July 23, 1910. The Editor of the Alaska Citizen
 Fairbanks:
 Dear Sir-In your issue of last Saturday night you made the state ment that Abe Spring was the treas urer of the Orr Campaign Fund. At no time has Abe Spring been in any way connected with the cam paign Committee of Ed. s. Orr. either as treasurer or in any other capa- city; nor has he any such connec. tion with the committee at the pres ent time. Respectfully,
 T. A. MARQUAM,
 Chairman, Campaign Com.
 mittee.
 P. S.-We desire that you give this notice as much prominence as you did the article against Mir. Spring in your last publication. I've cannot trace the original sourc of our information, but it was com mon talk at the time the article was written.
 Abe Springs activity at Washing ton in behalf of the interests cer- tainly lent color to the statement, but we have since learned that the local committee hasn't any funds, so Abe couldn't very we'll be treasurer Editor, Citizen.l

Shackleford's s Answer

When MT. Shackleford rose to re | ply he did not receive the greeting which had met him on rising to open | the debate The audience resented the manner in which he had attacke ed the delegate, and lost his self-control; but he was given respectful hear 1 ing.
 Mir. Shackleford opened his re- marks by wondering what would have happened to the delegate if he had ever attended West Point. Unfortunately for MT. Shackleford he immediately lost all self-control He grew vehement regarding the Hasey case, first denying and then admitting his connection with the case as counsel for the defense. He said that Wickersham would have the voters believe that Ed Orr was man of putty. (A voice: Why doesn't he speak for himselfO
 MT. Shackleford: He has not been trained to public speaking, and if he goes to Washington he would not have to speak. He could have his speech printed. He had known Ed Orr since 1897. He had cast his first vote for Orr, and he did not think that the delegate had any right to say that he was a man of putty. He mentioned a case at Ia coma where the delegate had com promised in a million dollar suit for $125, 900, after Orr had withdrawn.
 The delegate had accused nearly everybody in the cabinet of being Guggenheim man, except the secre- tary of agriculture and the secretary of commerce and labor.
 Wickersham; No, sir.
 Shackleford What are you going to do with him. If you want to elect a showy orator, whose credibility is doubtful, go ahead. If you have any confidence in Ed Orr elect him. Some of you will think it over tonight. It's a cold proposition. You must think it over.
 The national committeeman fin ished his address by hurling an in suit at the people of the Panama, when he said that if they elected Wickersham they would elect Cook if he came before them.
 After few more remarks the speaker collapsed and went to his chair.

PEPPER BOUND OVER.

The preliminary hearing into the charge of embezzlement preferred against Si Pepper took place yes terday before Commissioner Dillon Inspector Neil deposed that he had made written demand upon the ac. cused for the payment of the amount of the shortage, s1,00O, but MT. Pep. per had stated that he was unable to pay.
 After other witnesses had been ex- amined, the accused was bound over to the grand jury, bail being allowed in the sum of $2,000.
 Attorney Marquam is counsel for the defense.

AN OFFICIAL DENIAL

The telegram appearing in the Miner from the Cordova Alas kan to the effect that the Democratic nominating committee had endorsed the candidature of Ed. S. Orr is a baseless fabrication.
 The undersigned members of the nominating committee of the Dem ocratic party know nothing of any such endorsement. There Is only one member of the committee resident in Cordova, Judge Ostrander, and he is not authorized to make any state ment which would lead the public to believe that the nominating commit tee had departed from their orig inal decision to endorse neither of the candidates.

WHERE IS BIRCH?

This pertinent election cry is not likely to die an early death. All day yesterday the telephone to the News. Miner office was kept busy by anx. ious inquiries regarding the present location of the estimable Birch. In order that the information should be reliable and at first hand, the anx- ious ones insisted upon getting their information direct from MT. w. F. Thompson. After about a thousand queries along the same lines MT. Thompson got tired and told his un- derstudy to tell callers that he was "out."

object to the bill. He asked them to build it. He thought they should have another line.
 Trust Extortion.
 The delegate then quoted some of the freight rates being charged on the Copper River road: Horses, S30 apiece for 101 miles; 24 horses or more, SIS apiece for the same dis. tance; dressed lumber, s1 20 for 100 pounds, for 1O1 miles; passengers, 15 cents a mile for 101 miles, and Shackleford abused him in Washing ton for trying to get another rail. road built.
 Major Richardson had assisted in drafting the Beveridge bill, so that he might be appointed in charge of the railroad board, which was to consist of three army officers with Major Richardson as president. A joker had been inserted in the bill which provided that any railroad should be transferred to a corpora tion within 30 days, a provision which made it impossible for any but the two existing roads to gain any benefit therefrom.
 Trust Greed.
 The railroads were attempting to get a guarantee which would include old construction work. Thus they would draw interest at 4 per cent. on $6,000,000, when the property had been bought in for $600,000, a net profit of s5,4O0,000 to the pro motors of the bill. The bill also provided for the railroad syndicate paying one-half of one per cent. of their gross earnings to the govern ment, but as they could fix their own rates this meant nothing. Such an nual payment would be in lieu of all taxes of any nature whatsoever, and would exempt from municipal and all other taxation the coal, stock, buildings, steamships and all that belonged to the syndicate for 80 years. In addition the bill limits the amount that could be paid in sub sidy in such a manner that no sub sidy could be granted to any other road. It was not intended that it should be- It was intended to divide Alaska into two parts for transpor- tation purposes, viz, the river one, and the sea coast another. The Alas ka syndicate has fought and killed every railroad bill and yet they had the impudence to charge him with it, and he admitted it. He had killed that bill until it was too dead to stand, and would never recover.
 The delegate said that he believed in giving titles to mines to men in the country, and not to the big cor porations.
 The Great Question.
 Coming to the query, Where is Birch? MT. Wickersham read a letter from Stephen Birch, dated

"Exercise and Rest"

What is the relation between exer-
else and rest? Work is that at which
we must continue, whether interesting
or not. whether we are tired or not.
1t used to he thought that the prime
requisite of rest was the use of facul-
ties other l.lan those involved in the
labor of the day. But there is such a
thing as fatigue which goes deeper
than daily work. We can work so
hard as to become exhausted-too ex-
hausted for any kind of work. Per-
haps this is will fatigue. 1t is coming
to be regarded as fundamentally true
that rest from such fatigue demands
continuity; that, for example. four pc
RODS of fifteen minutes each of rest is
not the equivalent of one hours rest;
that man who goes on a vacation
and takes half an hour Of his business
work every day is doing the same
thing as the man who had horse
with sore back. He kept the saddle
on only a few minutes each day. but
the sore did not have a chance to heal.
Rest periods must be sufficiently con-
secutive to overcome consecutive ia

An Indians Joke.

Indians extract no little quiet enjoy
ment from what seem to them to be
oddities in the speech. manners and
customs of white people. An Arapa-
hoe stepped into the store of trader
one day to purchase some tobacco.
The traders son was in charge of the
place. Now. this son was at that en-
barrassing stage of growth when the
voice is changing, so that he never
could tell whether tenor tones would
issue from his lips or babylike fall
setto or de profundis bass. On this
occasion when the Indian asked for
tobacco the youths bass notes held the
right of way, though they were speed
lily followed by ascending tones up to
a squeaky falsetto.
He asked the Indian. will you have
fine cut tobacco or plug?" beginning
in a growl and ending in birdlike So
prano.
The Arapahoe listened gravely to this
vocal variety and then without smile
reversed the process and, beginning
with the youths highest note and end
ing with his lowest, scaled, II think
I'll take some plug."-Southern Work
