Found Dead in Bed

Last Sunday morning about Il o'clock john Diamond was found dead in his bed in room No. Il of the Douglas hotel. The discovery was made by the porter of the hotel who went up to wake him. He was found lying on his back with his head slightly turned to one side and his arms crossed over bis chest. A physician was hastily sum- moned who after brief examination announced that he had been dead for hours. A post mortem examination held subsequently, revealed the fact that his heart had been in diseased condition, possibly for years.
 The decedent attended the meeting of the Alaska Labor Union last Friday night. About midnight or little after he registered and asked for room. He and the night clerk, Harry Jordan, eX- changed few pleasant jokes and John went to bed. Saturday the porter went to his room, but thinking him asleep made no attempt to rouse him.
 John Diamond was born in Maghera, Londonderry county, Ireland. He came to Douglas Islaud about eight years ago aud found employment at Tread we'll. For several years he has had charge of the mill at the Alaska-Juneau mine in Silver Bow basin. During the season when that property was idle he has worked at Treadwell. A brother lives at San Francisco.
 Decedent was member of Alaska Lodge No. l, l. O, O. F., also the En- campment and Rebekah branches of the order, and the Blks and Alaska Labor Union. He was 40 years of age at the time of his death. "Jack" was of a happy disposition, always joking, and everybody knew him. We can only suspect that he knew the nature of his allment and yet in spite of it's dreadful menace was strong enough to smile.
 Funeral services under the auspices of the 1. O. O. F. lodge were held this afternoon at the Congregational church, Rev. l.. F. Jones officiating. A large concourse of people attended. The iu- terment was at the Douglas cemetery.

The regular monthly meeting of the are department Was held last Thurs day night. Although the attendance was not as large as usual-probably on account of special holiday attractions there was a good lively meeting. After the payment of bills, reports of officers and other business was concluded, a German feast was spread. Fred Purin- ton added to the pleasures of the oc- casion by singing several songs, Charlie Mann playing the accompaniment. It was decided to make the next meeting a jolly one, a sort of smoker, and com. mittee was appointed to provide enter tainment for that occasion. Fred Pur inton, Charley Mann and Jack Henson are the mem bers of the committee. It was also decided to invite the members of the Treadwell fire department. The big time will be on the last Saturday night in January, which falls on the 18th.

The New Year--t9tt

With the beginning of the new year it is a custom to "swear off" doing cer- tain things that we have been doing, but which we know are really bad for us and perhaps those who are around us on the trail of life. With some, it is drinking, others smoking, few swearing and so on down the line tO greater or lesser evils.
 There are worse things that men and women do than drinking or smoking. There is an anruly member shat makes more trouble in this world than aN the other things coD bined-the tongue. 1t is the outlet for all the malice, spite, envy, hatred and other wickedness. It is a common weakness and attlicts men and women, aud eVeu little children. In the great annual swear off, there is nothing that so much weeds attention, nor that would bring such grand re. suits if eliminated as the habit of say ing uukind things of our ueighbors aud friends. Let's all swear off lying about each other.
 To the people of Douglas Island 1910 brought joys, bat we'll mixed with sor rows. We had our day when we looked into each others faces and uuteDy ask. ed the question, "Great Sod, can this be true" Tjnes' healnG balpa has soothed the poiguaul pain, SOt ths scar remains. How common aEnictiOn draws us together. How we bless the AsnG that is extended in sympathy and help fulness when our hearts are WrGng with anguish. We may not excell in the arts or sciences, nor jn literary pursuits, our names may never be emblazoned on the tablets of fame. but more kindly, helpful people in time of trouble never lived.
 Then remem bering only the kind nesses of the past and the good there is about us, let as make 1911 better than the year that is gone by guarding our tongues and only repeating the good things we hear.

His we'll known and respected patients who suf- fered previously Cunder medical quack. eryl for years, are willing to testify to- their wonderful recovery through his scientific method of healing without medicine or drugs. Mentalism is life force from the only curative source. Remem Der what Gregory, M. D.S-one of the hundreds of leading medical con fessors looking to science as the only true method of healing-confesses to the Medical Brief, St. Louis, Mo-: "Gentlemen, ninety-nin out of every hundred medical facts are medical lies and medical doctrines are for the most part, stark, startling nonsense" The pro lessor will pay round-trip ferry fare to Juneau for all Douglas and Treadwell patients Chat take his treatments, which have brought permanent health to hundreds all over the Northwest and will continue to- do so. There is no curative power in medicine.
