CITY HEALTH OFFICER MAKES
 STARTLING REPORT ON ESKIMO

are between 24O and 367 Eskimos liv- ing in Nome. with their place of resi- dence confined with few exceptions to the extreme east and west ends of the city.
 That the government statistics show about forty per cent of the natives are afflicted with syphilis, but he believed it far from correct. The outside, or Eskimos living outside of Nome may have that large percentage but not the Nome natives. Last year nine Eski- mos died from various causes. but the majority from tuberculosis. That right now there are IS cases of tuberculosis and one severe and dangerous case in the Washington building foot of Stead man avenue.
 There are three natives living at the foot of Steadman avenue. and one is now in the advance stage of consump- tion. he may live three months, but daily this patient is throwing off sufi- cient deadly poison or germs in the form of sputum to kill dozen families. and if the house Is not dlstinfected after the Eskimos move out people living there tei years hence can con- tract the white pleague.
 The mayor appointed a committee to wait upon the government officials to see what can be done in the matter of regulating the Eskimos as to where they can and cannot live here in Nome. Williams. Mielkc and Montgomery were appointed to act in conjunction with City Health officer Sloan in the mat ter.
 The chairman of the street commit tee after an extensive report of streets opened up and drains. sewers, etc, rec commended that David Pennen be em- ployed as street superintendent at n salary Of sT5o without any overtime. All voted in favor of the position being given and it passed unanimously.

be allowed to refloor the fire hous, which was badly in need of the same stating the firemen would do the work if the city furnished the lumber. The recommendations were adopted and e horse will be purchased and new floor put in the fire house.
 The health committee reported giv- ing relief to one person during the past week.
 Special committee to invoice city property handed in report of fire de- partment and city clerk and asked further time on the balance. Granted.
 City clerk reports there is s7.464.eo outstanding in the form of delinquent taxes now due the city since 1906. YorlIey reported that the Krupr
 building cost s1.25O and wanted to know why the city was taxed s75O instead of half that amount MT. Freed ing who was present then in an able manner relieved all doubts on the question of purchasing the property and the city Is getting bargain at $75o.
 City clerk reports there is now sss.sO in outstanding warrants to differen, persons that have never been present. ed for payment
 Montgomery reported he had given notice to remove the barge sunk near the mouth of Snake river. to J. J. Ses- non Company, and the Northwestern Commercial Company and they had promised to remove the same. Written notice was ordered given said compan- ies, and the city attorney instructed to draw up the notices.
 Mielke reported he had two signs painted for Belmont bridge offering reward for conviction of any person destroying or taking away any lumber from same.

Nome's knight of the air. will attempt to make his initial flight this evening at o'clock. The aviation grounds are described as being 1000 feet east of the wireless tower. Every body is invited to attend the exhibition whether they have ticket or not
 It was consistently rumored about town for the past few days that Mir. Peterson would endeavor to negotiate the glide" and "dip" in his air craft If he once succeeded in getting the machine into the air. MT. Peterson. however, has not authenticated this report but it is safe to say that he will truly make an effort to give the Nome public first class exhibition.
 The machine as it now stands as- sembled, with engine hung and with a full spread. weighs a trife over 500 pounds. MT. Peterson, who will at- tempt the initial flight. weights 1eo pounds, making a total of about sso pounds which will have to be conveyed into the afr.
 Mir. Code, press agent for the aviator. eoptends that according to statistics the engine should raise and carry 300 pounds easily. and should this be the case We have a right to expect that Mir. Peterson will soar into the air. this evening, without any difficulty.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD &
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartlcs They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most All
nents. There are Is fest of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, Indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion OF cuJOy kOOO ACoASA. -
had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine tenths Of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
inyigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel. no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

There Is no malice In the uprising. 1t
is simply the manifestation of scien-
tific yearning to hand him his dues,
full-measure and trimming over, for
a past chockful of all manner of Grim
inality and a desire to chop short a
future hopeless of reform. His tricks
and his manners" long regarded at
the worst as petty annoyances for the
discipline of our souls, have In recent
years assumed an aspect SO menacing
that we are more and more deter
! mined to do without the Christening
qualities of his presence altogether.
Dr. Daniel d. Jackson, formally de-
nouncing this enemy before a joint
convention of the American Civic AS
sociation and the National Municipal
League, put the case in unequivocal
terms: Regarded in the light Of re-
cent knowledge, the fly is more dan
gerous than the tiger or the cobra.
Worse than that, he is, at least in our
climate, much more to be feared than
the mosquito, and may easily be class
ed the world over as the most danger
Gus animal on earth
When DR.. Jackson thus arraigns the
fly the last word has been said The
details. can only bolster up the gener-
alization-provided the details are
true
Are they true?

favor which is characteristic perhaps
