OFFICIALS PROMPT ACTION
 SAVES LIVES OF NATIVES

Although six Indians of the lower river succumbed to an epidemic of infantiIe paralysis which spread through the tribe during the latter part of October, the remainder of the natives were saved by the prompt action of George E. BOulton, superintendent of government schools, according to a report re- ceived by Dr. M. F Hall, assistant commissioner of health.
 The report from MT. Boulton tells in detail of the epidemic that spread through the lower river village, and of the manner in which 1t was blot ted out. Six of the natives, whose ages ranged between 19 and 26, were stricken before a report of the di5ease was made to the authorities, and died before aid could be rushed Co htem. Although many others in the same tribe showed symptoms, the disease was stayed by the med lgiHe furnished and the fumigation or tie entire camp
 For two wceks the settlement was plavrd uu7nr ouarantine, and none Ct the natives were allowed to leave or mingle with the other tribes.
 All of the afflicted have fully re- covered now, however, and the of ,icials who ministered to them have returned to Tanana.- FairBAnE Times.

be theirs provided they were for tuuate enought to get through.
 They worked steadily when the weather at those high attitudes per mitted and by close economy in hus- banding their resources were in hopes that they would be enabled to hold uot until supplies com menced to arrive from the outside in quantity and could be had at reasonable rates.
 The news was freely circulated that large gangs of men had been put to work on the Mccarthy trail, that it would soon be in first class shape. that it would only be a dis tance of about so miles between the diggings and the end of the C.. R. & \. W. railroad and that the freight rate between the two points would be not to exceed Is cents, and would in all probability be as low as 10 cents per pound.
 By the middle of November they commenced to realize that somethin would have to be done. Instead of going down the prices of things re mained as they were or began to go upward according to the quantity that was on hand in the camp. Flou was $1.OO per pound, bacon S1.59 and butter had reached the almost prohibitive price of $2.OO per pound everything else was held according lv from $1.OO to $2.OO per pound.
 They at last decided that they would stay until the latter part of November and if prospects did not brighten up in the meantime, would then take the Mccarthy trail to Cordova and from thence go to Sc attle. They had taken an inventory of what they had left and figured that by the time they had set for their departure would have about enough left to last them while on their journey to the coast.

Marooned on an uninhabited part of the shore of Lynn canal and forced to go without food for eight days was the unenviable experience of B. L. Anderson, a young man from Rochester, Nevada, who went to Haines a few weeks ago to look after some business matters that required his attention.
 On December 4th he set out alone from Haines in a row boat to go across the canal in search of game. Before he got across quite a stiff breeze had sprung up and in attempting to land on the abrupt and rocky shore a hole was knocked in the bottom of the boat and al- most before Anderson had a chance to get out she filled and sunk from sight.
 The castaway was in plain sight of Haines and Fort Seward but re- ceived no response to the signals he made for assistance. After waiting in vain for many hours for some passing boat he came to a decision to try and reach Skagway along the shore line but after two and a half days of heart-breaking struggle he gave it up and returned to the place of his mishap.
 He was getting desperate by this time as he had had nothing to eat during the whole of the time since leaving Haines. He again tried to signal Fort Seward and at night

YOUNG HUNTER HAS THRILLING
 EXPERIENCE IN LYNN CANAL

lighted torches and waved them in the air, but all his efforts prov ed unaYailing
 As a last resort he gathered a lot of drift wood and cutting his blankets into strips bound the pieces of wood together in the form of a rude raft, and climbing aboard, attempted by the aid of a short board which he had found and which he used as a paddle, to shove off from shore. Several times he was driven back by tue wind and tide tpf at last he succeeded and was out in the open water with about five miles of 1t to cross be- fore he could reach safety.
 With the leaving of the eastern shore of the canal the i'll luck that had pursued him constantly through the entire trip was also left behind and although his crude craft was al- most unmanageable, by hard and un- teasing toll, at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 18th, he stepped off on the beach at Haines and with the exception of being almost fam tshed by his eight days fast, in good physical condition.
 MT. Anderson reached Skagway this morning on the Peterson and will take the Georgia tonight on the way to his home in Nevada. He is none the worse for his unusual experience, but says he is not an- xious to repeat it any way soon.

A colOreI couple was taken before the Juvenile court and against the man was plac d the charge of neg lecting his children. Judge Taylor gave advice as to what should be done to straighten out the family trouble so the couple could continue to live together and support the children.
 You are earning $S week, and have three children to support on that said the judge. Tt Is evident shat you must cut your expenses down as lov as possible. You are paying for a piano by lnstal,menrs. You wils have to stop that. for people in your circumstances can't afford to have piano.
 "You must leave the house you are living in and move to smaller one with lower rent. You ought not to pay over $5 or $6 month for rent" The mother objected to 1his, saying that she could not live in respecta 5le ne;ghborhood under such condi eions.

 All of this made me so weak. ] could hardly sit up. 1 tried treat ment after treatment. but they did me no good.
 Just as soon as I commenced talk ing Cardui the woman's tonic, my health got better, and nCiy I can do all my homework.

 The reason Cardui has attained such wonderful progress in the treat ment of diseases peculiar to women, is that it acts specially on the womanly organs. It contains purely vegetable ingredients. of real medi- cina1 merit, and in a safe, gentle way. helps build the womanly constitution back to health and strength.
 Cardui is being successfully used by thousands of women every day. You won't regret giving it a trial.

READY TO FOLLOW LEADER
Unless 1t Is Fear, There Is No Con- tagion So Quickly Spread as
 That of Emotion.

George F. Bass used to tell story that illustrated the contagion Of emo tions.
 An old darkey sat by his tireslde in a deJected frame of mind ruminatinG on the miseries of the human race Towser, his faithful hound, lay on the hearth with his jowl on his paws, ab sorbing the heat in blisslul som. nolence. Presently the master groanec sepulchrally Towser courteously opened one eye for second and tapped on the floor with his tail. A silence. Then said the master: ''Houn', man am bon to. trouble as de spa'ks fly upwad."
 Towscr shook off slumber for mo ment. lifted his head and evinced his sympathy by a steadfast look, then settled down to dreams again. An. other silence. Then the master in. spired to fuller expression Of his woes by the response of his auditor, con- tinued:
 "Houn'. dis y 'arth am place o trouble an vale O tears; de debbii he roams, up an down like hongrv lion seekin' who he may devour; de ways of de weeked am shorely full O tribbalation."
 This time Towser's nose was lirteo toward the ceiling and long, lugubri- ous woo-o-ow-woow woo! expressed his acquiescence to his masters senti ments.
 "Yes," was MT. Bass's conclusion. emotions are contagious; all that is needed is a proper leader"
