Threatening Letters
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire.
NEW YORK. Feb. Threat
ening letters sent Miss Vivien
Gould, warning her against mar
rying Lord Decies, are in the
hands of the police today. All
were anonymous and their con-
tents were kept secret from Miss
Gould. One of them read:
my dear, sweet girl Beware; ;
remember the fate of your aunt
who married a blueblooded noble
man, the rotten remnant of a de-
clining race. There are still
Count de Castellanes waiting to
snatch up good, clean American
girls for their dollars. Once they
have done this, they soon throw
aside the pure young things and
return to their ways of dissolu-
tion."

murderer of her husband and par
amour of Charles Newcomb left
yesterday for South Dakota to

Since the trial in which she was
acquitted and in which the prose-

her former confession of guilt she
has been staying in Puyallup and
South Tacoma.
1t is not likely she will ever
come back to Tacoma.
She says she wants to try to get
her children back again. They

Salaries Cut
But Gas Rate
Is Still High

Because the Tacoma Gas COM
pany cut wages fifty cents on the
first of February a number of
filters are. still out of work. the
company refusing to take them
back unless they agree to the
drop in wage.
Considerable interest is being
manifested by the public at large
in view OF the fact that gas rates
are still at the same high figure
despite the fact that the gas COM
pany. payroll has been lessened.
A growing complaint is to be
heard because of the seemingly
high rates and the cutting down
of wages from $3.50 to SO a day
may result in an open fight to aid
the discharged employees.

ADVANCE AGENTS OF
 SUMMER APPEARING

Spring Is here and summer k ap- preaching. Not alone does the cal endar tell us this fact but the dis mantling of storm sheds and doors and the shoveling of snow from the sidewalks to say nothing of the melt ing slush in the streets gives evidence to the fact that the winter Is in the past. Then again some of the stores are displaying spring and summer hats and gowns now, which is quite fore cast in itself NJ. D. Samuels, for one, is showing line of nifty straw hats for women while another merchant is now offering a complete line of sum mer apparel for men.
 Up at the courthouse the storm win dows have been taken down and there are numerous other evidences of the approach of the long and pleasant days.
 Every night these days one may be able to see many couples out for a stroll and at nine o'clock it is as light as one could desire.
 A new moon was due last night and many people decided to take advantage
The Nome daily nugget., 1911-04-29

Of this excuse for walk. More peo- pie turned out for pleasure jaunts last evening than ever before this season.
 Another advance agent of spring is the fever or laziness which is very common at this time of the year In every office there is at least one drone who has not awakened to the fact that winter has passed.
 According to forecasters and proph- cts Nome will witness an exceptionally pleasant summer this year as every indication points toward long and dry open season.
