DEATH BOARDS.
Curious Custom That Prevails In East
ern Bavaria.

Curious Custom That Prevails In East
ern Bavaria.
In the eastern half of Bavaria, says
a writer in the Wide World Magazine,
on the borders of Bohemia, lies the so
called Bavarian forest. This part Of
the country. although it boasts beauti-
full scenery. is seldom visited by tour
lists, probably for the reason that the
charms of the region are little known
even in Germany. This part of Bava-
Tia has been in many ways untouched
by civilization, and owing to it's seclu
sion from the outer world some very
strange customs are still in vogue,
strongly reminding one Of the middle
ages.
One of these strange customs, strict
ly observed by the population, is the
way in which they keep alive the
memory Of their dead by the erection
of what are called ''totenbretter," or
"death boards" These are wooden
planks cut in the shape of tombstones
and roughly painted. Sometimes they
bear also the image of saint. They
are erected-often in a row of thirty
and more--on the roadside, in fields
and meadows, near chapels and cruel
fixes, in the village streets-in short,
everywhere; they are even nailed to
houses and barns. s#
They do not mark burial places, as
might be supposed. AS soon as per-
son has died the corpse is put on a
board, and there it lies in state until it
is put into the coffin shortly before the
funeral. These boards, then, are the
SO called death boards" and after the
funeral they are cut into a suitable
shape and decorated with an inscrip-
ton containing the name Of the de-
ceased, his age and in most cases
some lines of poetry. &c.. -as
These, short poems, which are, Of
course, meant in sober earnest, are &C.
casionally very amusing. The boards
are then stuck somewhere near the
road or in the fields, where they some
times accumulate to an alarming num-
Der. In the poorer districts these
boards are not always cut into shape
and painted, but are simply deposited
just as they are at the foot of some
crucifix, where they remain untouched
until they molder away.

BEAVER CREEK

Beaver creek rises at a place call ed Rock mountain, and flows south west for about 9 miles, then west for about 20 miles, around the end of the White mountains and takes a northeasterly course to the Yukon Flats
 Leaving the mountains it flows north across the flats for 9 miles. then due west to the Yukon, into which it empties opposite the mouth of Hosiana river. The course of Beaver creek across Yukon Flats, as Of the other creeks, is very tor tuous Below the big bend where the creek comes through the limestone range fording places are not easy to find. The current is swift, and at many places horses can barely keep their feet in the deep water.
 Near the mouth of Willow creek. a tributary from the southeast, a crossing was made F miles above the flats where the creek is 300 feet wide and from l to feet deep

 Dick Husey is located on Flat creek He is running roadhouse and doing well.
 Trouble is being experienced in collecting the road tax. Many of the new arrivals in the camp thought that payment of poll tax in Fairbanks and other towns exempt ed them from the road tax They have since learned that the road tax must be paid regardless of pay ments in other districts

STRONG MEN FAIL
 ID LIFT HER

The Annie Abbott attraction drew quite a crowd to the Auditorium on Thursday and Friday nights of last week
 The larger number present were there out of curiosity, bent on find ing out the power which the young lady possessed To withstand the com biucd force of many strong men and the theories advanced since the show are many and various. Some go 10 the extent of claiming il a hypnotic power. and that all the men on the stage were hypmotized and were in reality not lifting pound. although they thought they were do ing their level best
 Some claim it is all trick. but are not able to explain just where the trick comes in If trick il be it i> a mighty good one.
 The most remarkable test of the first evening was in causing Helen Bentley to become rooted 10 the floor. dofyiug rhe strength of man To raise her off her feet. In this case Miss Abbott at no time was within 2o feet of either party.
 Chief ConWay's little girl, weighing F pounds, was on the stage and glued down SO tightly that Judge Pratt could not budgc her It was rather amusing 10 notice the satis- fled look on the judges face when he was asked To raise the child He thought il was the easiest snap he had ever run up against to Tiff little tot like that, but strain as he might she would not come up. and then the look on the judges fac C became one of surprise and embar- raasment,
 Joe Morrow failed in everything he tried on the stage, but the next day he was around town pulling up hitching posts and everything else that was loose in order to show thai he was a natural born litter
 Miss Abbotts power is something remarkable, and to quote the lady herself, Where does the strength of the men go to?"

Gaynor Still Gains.

NEW YORK, Aug 24 - Mayor Gaynor, who recently had a miracu- lous escape from death at the hands of an assassin, continues on the high road to recovery from the pistol wound he received at the time of the murderous attack upon him. For the first time he left his bed in the hos pital today, and walked up and down in his room for several hours.
 Gallagher, the man who attempted to kill Mayor Gaynor has furnished a statement to the press in which he declares that he is offering up pray CTS increasingly for the recovery of his intended victim. It is thought probable that Gallagher will plead insanity at his approaching trial for his attempt on the life of the city's eXecut ve.
