A REAL WINTER RESORT.

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard
said. as he gathered bouquet Of
violets in Santa Rosa on a brilliant
December morning:
why do SO many of our misguided
people SILVER and cough on the Ri
viera in the winter when they nigh,

The Riviera reminds me of the
man who opened a boarding house
at Saranac Lake and avertised it as
a winter resort
"a guest went up there, and. after
brief sojourn, packed up, paid
his bill, and said:
How can you have the nerve to
advertise this place as winter re.
sort when the thermometer for the
past week has registered s below?'
The landlord looked aggrieved.
"'Well that's winter. amt it,? he
exclaimed If below amt winter.

quietly away at St. Joseph's hospital
Saturday night after a very short
illness. He had been suffering from
a bad cold for more than a week
which finally developed into pneu

enough to consult a physician,
however. until Saturday morning
when he summoned DR.. McCallum
The latter Immediately diagnosed
the case and ordered the man taken
20 the hospital.
The nephew of the man, A. A.
Lyden. brought him in on Saturdays
train and lodged him in St Josephs
The disease. however, had taken too
strong a hold on Mr.. Lyden and all
efforts of Dr. McCallum to save his
life were in vain.
Born in Ireland, Mr. Lyden emf
grated to the United States when a
very young man, pushed his way
west and came north in 1896, set
Ting first in the Fortymile country.
Since that time he has worked at
various times at Circle, in the Klon-
dixie, Eagle, Nome, Rampant, and has
been in this district since 1904.
The funeral of Mr. Lyden will take
place this afternoon from the Church
of the Immaculate Conception, Father

ble's expression sent new hope into
Searles' heart. Hitherto he had al
ways been up against an imperme-
able barrier of character and recti-

to cringe before him. Searles had
not ruled men for thirty years for
nothing. He knew that this was the
moment to terrorize-to bully. These
means would succeed where others
had failed.
''You got my letter, Governor"
he asked, his lips parting in wolfish

DR. CHAMBERS IS NOW
 REAUTlFYING PRISONERS

Dr. J. J. Chambers requested the presence of a Nugget man today In the federal jail where he is now serv- ing a sentence for criminal libel. The request was granted and it was found that the doctor wished to bring before the public a new discovery which he has made of a face wash which com
 pletely, he saHs, removes wrinkles.
 The doctor declares that it has made handsome several of the prisoners who are incarcerated in the bastile. It's wonderful properties are due to the greater amount of oxygen that he finds on the floor of his cell. The same amount could never be found in his residence, he declares, and he be- lieves now that the best thing that ever happened to him was to be sent to jail. He drew attention to his own face which he says looks much whiter and from which the wrinkles have disappeared according to his own view. The prisoners are all becoming beautiful is his belief under his treatment and he thinks that even the

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Presi- dent Huerta denies now that he issued an ultimatum to the United States This denial came in a communication to Secretary Bryan through the Amer ican charge 'affaires at Mexico City, OShaughnessy. It Is noticeable that Huerta ignored Lind in communicating with the secretary of state and that he made the charge d'affaires the med ium as a duly accredited representa- tive in which capacity he still refuses to recognize Envoy Lind.
 The repudiation of the ultimatum was expected. It was given out by Urratia, the minister of the interior. and was given in such a manner that it could be repudiated at any time by Huerta himself and no proof that the president had beeh concerned in it could have been produced.
 However, the atmosphere has been again cleared although it is believed here that the Mexicans are growing hourly more defiant and that the calmness of the Washington govern ment and it's desire for peace are being

the exposition is due to the decision of the United States government in connection with the tolls of the Pa mama canal. The feeling of British merchants about the refusal to place foreign shipping on the same footing as the shipping of America itself is very bitter and the government itself shares in this bitterness to a very large degree. The matter is likely to come up in parliament and if it does the likelihood is that the whole trouble will be explained.

 SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2O.-Both sides have rested in the Diggs case and the arguments begin today. 1t is, generally supposed that Diggs will not be found guilty. The sentiment is that the case has been made i'm portant because of the resignation of District Attorney McNab. The enc. mics of the Caminetti family and the sensationalists are making as much as they possibly can out of the trial but the general public is by no means so much inclined to condemn the de- fendants and they point out that such acts are committed every day but that the present trial owes its prominence to political hostility.

JUDGE HOLDS
 INDECENT FUND
SUM FROM ALASKA FUND IS NOT
 GIVEN TO THE CITIES.

There has been an effort made re- gently to prove that the Alaskan in- digent fund is part of the municipal funds and this statement has been made with the intention of showing that the city treasury of Nome is in a good condition. AS a matter of fact the money for indigents is handled by the district court and the accusation that the city council of Nome has over- looked chance to get money is alto gether without foundation. It was even stated that some of the money could have been received on the first of June or July and that the city coun- cii lost it by not applying for 1t in time. This is shown by investigation to be nothing but popycock, pure and simple. No money was received by the court in Nome from the indigent fund for that quarter and no notifica- tion was received by the judge that any money was available.
 The law providing for the indigent fund says that ten per cent. of the total fund is to be used for the relief of indigents in the territory. This ten per cent, of the total is divided into four equal parts and each fourth is given to each judge of the four divis- ions for distribution by himself and not by the city councils.
 The total indigent fund from this source amounts, according to an esti mate by courthouse officials, to be about $2O.O00. This means that the second division would receive about $5.O0es TiAx is the whole second df- vision, not the city of Nome alone. The money is to be used in all parts of the district where it is needed.
 The total contribution to the Alaska fund from this division is about $18,- 900 but the total contribution of an- other division is said to be about $6O,OOO. The first is the lowest and the last is said to be the highest. If the other two divisions give equal amounts the total indigent fund would not amount to $20,OOO as the total of the Alaska fund would not amount to $200,000. But granting that the total Alaska fund amounted to $200,000 an- nually it would mean $5O0O to each division of a fourth part of ten per cent.
 No money has yet been received, however, from this source since the law was passed.
 The second division gets for the Alaska fund about s17,5OO this year but will not receive that amount reg ularly. Ten per cent. of this would amount, of course. to $1,75O, and fourth of the latter sum is all that would come to this division. That means something more than $4OO.
 Since the above was written it has been ascertained that the total Alaska fund for 1912 was $225,6OO odd. That means for that year each division would receive for the use of indigents the sum of about S6,00O. But let 1t be remembered that this sum does not go to cities but to the whole division and is distributed by the court and not bv the city councils.
