Maybe He Is Coming Here

The following account from the Whitehorse Star, taken from a recent copy, explains why this camp may be visited by an old sourdough who is well known to everybody in the interior ot this great breeding ground of industry. Stroller White slips him package like this:
 ''Ed Holden, one of the high rollers of Dawson in the halcyon days of the past, when money came easy and van- ished like morning dew from a Mother Hubbard squash vine, arrived in town Saturday evening, having footed it over the great scenic route of the W. P. railroad from Skagwayby-the-Sea. He left last Sunday in a small boat for down river, and it is a safe bet that the next time Ed piles up few thousand dollars he will stick to it with tenac- ity which will make bull pup green with envy.

ROkOCeViche Is Nuts

The guards at the federal jail in Fairbanl think that Rokoceviche, the man who killed Fred Sellers re- gently, was merely "spoofng" when he rammed his head against the bars in an attempt to simulate insanity There is bare chance that he is somewhat nuts" when you come to consider that he took running jump at the afore- said bars.

stepped into the hall from side room.
He had probably been taking a nap
from which he was suddenly reused.
I caught glimpse of piece of paper
| as he swiftly put It in his mouth.
Springing forward seized him by the
throat The young woman came to my
assistance. She put her hand to the
old mans lips and said: "Spei es aus,
water! Spei es aus, vater!"
He yielded and she handed me bit
of closely folded paper. On 1t was
written: "T will bring the back at
nine this evening.-Sheldon."
The old man was placed in charge
Of one Of the officers. The young wom-
led us to a door that was locked
The key was turned from the inside.
An entrance was demanded, but there
was no response. Deliberating a few
moments. the officers rushed against
the door and burst It open. We found
a young man in the room. There was
printing press, quantity Of print
er's Ink, long table. a couple Of
chairs and a stove. But there was not
a scrap OF paper In sight. nor anything
to show that counterfeiting was being
carried on. There was plenty of sus-
picion. but we were unable to find evi-
dence to warrant a conviction. One
Of the detectives chanced to put his
hand on the stove. It was hot On
looking inside we discovered that q
considerable amount Of paper had been
recently burned. A systematic search
Of the premises was now began. Every
nook and corner Of the house was ex-
amined. We tore up the carpet and
pried up the weak places In the floor
Every piece Of furniture and every rag
OF clothes was searched. The detec-
tives crawled under the roof and on
top Of It. They looked down the chin.
neys. Nothing Of an discriminating ma
ture was found.
Tho old man wouldn't talk. He shut
his mouth tightly and shook his head
to every question asked. and the
young man was dumb as an oyster.
While the woman did not appear to be
anxious to conceal anything from Us,
she said she was quite unable to rem.

ner. Her interview with me appeared
to be more for the purpose of obtain
Ing information than giving 1t. In the
course Of her conversation she In
quired as to the disposition of persons
arrested for counterfeiting and the re-
suits OF confessions, etc. She hinted
of counterfeiting scheme, but she
either did not know or was unwilling
to give any definite Information.
finally drew from her that she might
be able to find out something that
would be of service to the government
The conclusion l came to was that
some OF her family were in some way
connected with counterfeiting and that
she was seeking a way to check their
operations and at the same time save
them from punishment. l questioned
her carefully but was unable to gather
sufficient Information to lead to any
thing tangible. thought there was
something worth looking after. but
did not know Just how to get at it.
When she left my Office she was fol-
lowed by detective, but the officer
was unable to shadow her without
giving himself away, as she repeated
ly turned around and looked about as
though she suspected she was being
followed. and the detective finally lost
sight of her.
Some weeks after this received an
, anonymous note couched in somewhat
singular terms. 1t was in a fine fe-
male hand and read as follows:

Service. 56 Blocker ST.

positive that 1t was a printing press in

finally concluded to employ a ruse to
get into the house and learn what was
going on. An excuse that was thought
to be better than no excuse at all was
invented to be offered in case of fail
ure. 1t was known that the doors of
the house were kept securely fastened
and that any person ringing the door
bell would be sighted and refused ad-
mittance.
The plan to overcome this difficulty
was simple but effective. 1t was about
the middle of the day when light
spring wagon containing trunk was
backed up to the front door of the
Rhetschlag house. Two men dressed
as laborers took the trunk out of the
wagon and carried 1t up the steps
close to the door. The bell was rung
Soon there was an eye at the peep
hole. The person thinking that the ex-
pressman had made a mistake in the
house threw open the door to explain
The trunk was quickly thrust across
the threshold and the two expressmen
sprang into the hall. Two other detec-
tives that had been lowering near
were also admitted. Almost at the first
glance l discovered that the young
woman tending the door was the one
that had called at the secret service
office and vaguely hinted of great
counterfeiting scheme. l think the
recognition was mutual. She bowed
slightly in half welcoming way as
she placed her hand upon the stair
rail. An elderly man at this moment

BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps They would dry
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. / bought several
boxes Of ointment. gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him. but he got worse all the time He
had 1t about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. / sent and
got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, q
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes Of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well. and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. I think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"
