ANIMATION.

session only a quarter of an hour,
while the House was in session fifty
minutes.
More than usual interest was mani

have been four deaths in the sena
torial ranks.

in entering the Senate chamber, and
bringing the Senate to order just as
the hands OF the clock indicated the
moon hour

number OF deaths within the Con
gress. Roll call that followed dis

HAD NO USE
 FOR MONEY
Jury Finds Russian Shows Sure
 Signs of Insanity.

Declaring he had no use for money as it only gave him trouble, Cassemir Wal ithus attempted to explain his queer actions to the jury which tried him on the charge of insanity before Judge Gal laher, Friday afternoon last week.
 Walithus, according to the testimony, spent money along the Hot Springs trail in the most lavish manner. He bought a dog for $1OO, spent about $50 for meals for natives, gave $10 for meal because he thought it was worth it, and paid $1O for a saw and file he had no use for, at the Fish lake roadhouse. He says he is content to work for his board-that money is no object to him.
 Billy Corning, the mail carrier, said he found the man in his tent, his face covered with paste made of ashes and syrup.
 Deputy Marshal Robinson testified to Walithus tying ''Broken-nose Jimmy" up by the leg to cure him of his "drunk," 7" while Jailer Leske told of the man hay ing scrubblng mama, attempting to SCOUT hot stove.
 MIND UNBALANCED.
 According to Dr. Harris, Walithus is suffering from a constitutional disease which has unbalanced his mind.
 The unfortunate man talked in ram bling, monotous manner while on the stand. He is Russian by birth, and has wife and five children in Pennsyl- vania. He worked for Conrad & lesson and others on Ester creek, and came to Tanana saying that he wanted to work for the government, having heard that he was sure of his pay and that it was a good firm" to work for.
 The jury, composed of J. M. Gallaher, Jack Nelson, Paul Solka, w. Rockwell, John Dyroff and Geo. Vautier, found Walithus insane. He will be taken to Mount Tabor, Ore. either over the trail or kept here until the breakup.

That Tanana is not as young as some suppose, was brought to mind by pos tai received by Postmaster Tiffany, ad- dressed "Hans Hansen, Nuklikiet, AL aska"

Frank and Ills Devil Cart

Frank Goulding was the first man
in the village to bring out his devil
cart this season. On Monday be and
Chauffeur Herdliska came up the
street at terrific speed in the
machine and, after Frank thought he
fully understood the manipulation of
the levers and other things, he
changed places with Jay and the fun
began. Not that he tore down any
fences or displaced any telephone
poles. but he came. so near to per-
forming these feats that upon one
occasion Jay jumped over the side of
the machine as precaution. He
feared collision with an osbstacle.
but the jump proved to be unnecessary
as the auto made circle of the pole
without accident. Miles and miles
we're traversed but they were covered
IN a particularly zigzag manner which
caused several horses to stand on
their hind legs and take notice.
Whether any runaways were caused by
the machine Frank refused to saw. but
he stated that he expected to have
several damage suits on his hands
within few days.

Sustains Loss by Fire.

Nelson King of Wyanett sustained
heavy loss by fire on Thursday
night of last week. It appears that
Mr.. King went to the barn to feed his
stock and assembled into the loft with
lantern, which he hung at one end
OF the room while be proceeded to the
other to pitch down hay. Upon
turning around he was amazed to see
big blaze and, after fruitless at
tempts to extinguish- it, he descend
ed>to the ground floor and succeeded
in saving the live stock. By this
time, so swiftly did the flames make
headway in the combustible material,
it was impossible to subdue them and
the barn, with its contents of hay,
farm machinery, ETC., was completely
destroyed. The total value of the
property consumed was about $1,000.
upon which an insurance of $3.50 was
carried. The fire is supposed to have
originated from either the explosion
OF the lantern or from its falling off
the nail upon the hay below and
breaking.

Hass Defeats Crosse.

Whether Antonio Crosse, the
Italian welterweight champion of
Minnesota, is now fully convinced
that Ben Hass is his superior in mat
work we do not know, but after two
successive defeats we presume that he
IS. The contest at the armory hall on
Thursday was interesting but Crosse
proved an easy opponent for Hass'
superior skill and activity. The
first fall was secured in 8 minutes bv
a double bar hold and the second
in IL minutes by a body scissors hold.
There was a fifty dollar side bet up
between the principals. Harry Pratt
refereed the match.
Two preliminaries were pulled off
a wrestle and boxing contest-be.
tween amateurs. The wrestle, between
Beck and Drescher, resulted in a.
victory for the first named, who threw
his man twice in less than five
minutes. The boxing contest, be-
tween young Shockley and kaufman,
resulted in a draw. A number of
ladies we're in attendance to witness
the contests.
Ben Hass is coming to the front
rapidly and we would not be surprised
'to some day see him a national
champion.

Pythians Have Fine Time.


The Knights of Pythias had a
rattling good time at their hall on
Tuesday evening. It consisted of a
genuine stag card party followed by
an oyster supper, and there were
about forty members present. Pro-
gressive Pitch was the game selected
and there was fun galore from be-
ginning to end. Jim Hartman claim
ed to be the champion Pitch player,
but that was before the game COM
menced. At the conclusion he found
himself in the rear rank. George
Staples was the victor, but some of
the boys Inferred that his success was
due to peculiar way he had of
shutting the cards. A court of in
quiry, however, failed to establish
the accusation. So he carried off the
first prize, beautiful piece of china
ware with the word "Princeton" en-
graved thereon, while E. E. Whitney
was awarded the BOBBY prize,
Teddy bear.
At IL o'clock the oyster supper was
brought on. There we're oysters in all
styles on the half-shell, stewed and
fried-and plenty of them. It was a
feast that would have made the mouth
OF the veriest epicure water, and it is
unnecessary to say that justice was,

What Bad Roads Cost Farm.r.

Minnesota needs roads. The cost
OF transportation from the farm to the

May Erect Warehouse.

1t has been suggested that the
farmers throughout this territory
make an organized effort to secure a
potato warehouse at Wahkon. To
make success of potato raising it
should first be determined what
varieties are best for the market, and
then raise those varieties. The pro-
duction of indiscriminate varieties of
tubers in various quantities will not
attract buyers or bring good prices

PROGRAM
Senior Class of High School Gives Lit
erary and Musical Entertain-
ment in Assembly Hall.
Special Numbers by Pupils of Whit
tier School Pleasing Feature
of the Entertainment.

The musical and literary entertain
ment given at the high school
assembly room by the senior class on
Friday evening surpassed in many
respects any effort of like nature
attempted by them, It was clearly evi-
dent that great pains had been taken
by the participants to perfect them
selves in their respective parts-every
number on the program was ad-
mirably rendered. Each one per-
formed his or her part in highly
creditable manner. If the bright boys
and girls of the senior class will give
another entertainment equally as
good as that of Friday evening the
U nj O n will guarantee them crowd
ed house.
There we're two numbers worthy of
especial mention for the reason that
they we're presented by the little folks
pupils of Miss Huse at the Whittier
school-in manner that would have
done credit to much older children.
The first was by class of little girls
dressed in blue frocks, with plaid
shawls over their shoulders, each
carrying a doll. The lullaby they
rendered was sweetly sung and elected
vigorous applause. The other number
=" The Low Back'd Car"-was by a
class of six little boys wearing straw
hats and red bandanna handkerchiefs.
At the conclusion of the song the
kids literally brought down the house
when they waved their hats and shout
ed in unison "Erin go BraghW
To bring a number of little ones to
so high a degree of perfection in sing
ing requires much painstaknig and
Miss Huse is entitled to great credit
for the success she achieved.
The entertainment was given for the
purpose of raising funds to partially
defray the expenses incumbent upon
the commencement exercises and the
public responded IN a generous man
ner.
The words for the senior class song,
very pretty number, were composed
by Miss Kathryne Void.
