Threw Scare Into
 RoadhOnse Keepers

Accor ding to the latest reports from Fairbanks, the district attorneys office of this judicial division is raking over roadhouse liquor traffic with fine- tooth comb. Besides making strenuous efforts to catch a redskin who could give valuable testimony in regard to the case of one Johnson, who peddled hootch from launch along the Yukon last summer, Crossley summoned a mum Der of roadhouse keepers along the Valdez trail and impressed them with the fact that unless illegal liquor traf- tic were stopped suddenly among the travellers, there would be plenty of prosecutions. Many of these places are without licenses, but they appear to have been selling tanglefoot in the original packages.

Bowed Their FOreteads
 To His NibS, The Joss

The Japanese party given to the ladies of Iditarod by Mesdames Graham, Newman and Durham, at the home ot Mrs. Graham on First street, Thursday afternoon, has been the chief society topic of the week, and has caused no end of pleased comment because of the unique character of the event, and the really beautiful decorations of the Graham home, prepared for the guests.
 The party was distinctly Japanese in every particular, from the costumes of the ladies to the tea they drank. Painted and pompadoured, with joss sticks in their hair, and in brilliant flowing kimonos. they appeared at the appointed hour, and in rooms hung with gay Japanese banners and lanterns, they seated themselves on the floor amid a profusion ofcushions, and playe cards at little four-inch tables while incense and candles burned before the Joss, and Jap servant brought them the dainty delicacles peculiar to the slant-eyed children Of the Orient.
 Whist was the order of the afternoon, but in the evening number of gentle men joined the feminine throng, and with music and song the merriment was prolonged until a late hour.
 Among the prize winners were Mrs. Beattie, who held the highest score at whist, and Mrs. Reyes, who took the consolation. Miss Roscoe won first prize at the casino table.
 Among the guests were Mesdames Brooks, Snyder, Grant, Strong, Pete.'- son, Elliott, Sanders, P. McMullen, E. McMullen, Abbenroth, Shea, Beattie, Troughten, Miller, Reyes, Chute, Lang Riley, Banks. Misses Maltby, Roscoe, Peterson and Folvig.

Curry'S Death Is False RumOI

It is with considerable pleasure that We confess the mistake made last week in publishing the story of the rumored death of Mir. and Mrs. Dave Curry, both well-known Northsrners.
 The rumor, which now appears to be totally unfounded. had become current throughout the city and on the creeks, to an extent which seemed to prove it's truthfulness, although we were unable to verify it.
 There seems to have been no truth whatever in the story which was to the effect that Curry had killed his wife and then committed suicide in Cali fornia, and we are totally at d loss tc account for it's origin. As far as possi- ble, we hope thus to correct the error Of which we were uuintentionallv guilty Editor.
