NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 26, 1913

The Taft commission for the in. vestigating of rural credit systems ia Europe has made discoveries that may in process of time work a bcnefcent change in American banking methods.
 It would be an ironical chapter of history if the great Gnancicrs of> Am erica and Europe should come at length to sit at the feet of peasants to learn the fundamental principles of sound banking. It has happened often in the history of the world that men of the simplest intelligence have pierced the heart of a subject, while the great ones of the earth have been lost in the intricacics of their own .n- genuty.
 The farm credit system worked cut more than half q century ago by a burgomastcr of the little town of Weytrbusch, In the bleak forest !is- trict of Wcsterwald, in the Upper Rhine country has been spread abroad through -Grrmrny- srrfti---ot4f-i4 European lands. It is called the Reiffeiscn method after the man who first brought q local group of poor and discouraged peasants to practise it. It has carried economic liberty, prosperity and fraternity to more than twelve thousand farming communities in Europe.

Azalfa was pale with indignation. She futtered angrily. 'How dare you call Rudolph a shrimp! Hes-why. he's my ideal of a manr' she ended in an explosive burst of tears.

 Azalia had hardly left the room by another door when the hall door open ed and Dell Horton entered, lovely in pale gray, with violets at her breast and in her eyes.
 New hope sprang alive within him when she smiled at him and permitted her hand to rest in his for brief mo- ment. Where is Azalia ?' she asked.
 ''She is saving life,' he said, look ing keenly at her. He knew she did not care a rap for young Blenck, but her ambitions might lead that way.
 Dell's eyes widened. ''Whose?' she asked quickly.

Hunf For q Haanaman.

The British army was once in d1m- culties through the lack of a hangman. Murder was committed by a soldier in the Crimea, but nobody could be found to carry out the sentence of the court martial It was announced that f2O and free discharge would be granted to the man undertaking the task. At last a man did volunteer. He was a newcomer to the army. On the night prior to the date fixed for the execution they locked up the hangman in sta bIe to keep him safe. In the morning the party at the galIows waited. but there was no hangman. He had gone mad during the night or else he was now stimulating madness. The officer in command turned to one of his cap tains with, Captain, you will have the goodness to hang the prisoner!" The captain changed cOuntenance, but he pulled himself together and appeal ed to the sergeants with. Which of you will hang this manT" And to spare his captain one of the men vol unteered He afterward had the sat isfaction of logging the man who had volunteered and failed.-London Stand ard.

TWO MURDERERS
STAND CONVICTED
One Sentenced to Death, The
Other Prison for Balance of
Natural Life.
Court Adjourns for Term Thursday
Afternoon.

Tom Williams, a Welaka negro, was
on Wednesday convicted of murder in
the first degree. On Thursday morn
ing his attorney made a motion for
new trial, which Judge Wills denied.
Tom Williams was then called to the
bar of the court and sentenced to
death. The doomed man took his
medicine stoically. He showed not
the least emotion as he was led back
to the Jail, there to await the order
of the Governor fixing the day of his
death.
Williams crime was certainly dia-
bolical-fendish. On Sunday morn
ing, May 18th, while his wife was alb
sent from home and his little IA
year old step-daughter, Valley Muir
ray, was dressino for Sunday school,
he entered the house and after
strangling the girl, outraged her and
then poured kerosene oil on the pros
trate body and set it afire. Death
was due to strangulation.

cumstances, and nearly six months af.

there is general approval Of the yer
dict. The conviction was made OF
circumstancial evidence.
Aaron Carroll, a negro of Inter
lachen, who on the 9th day of May
last shot and killed his sister-in-law
Rebecca Carroll, at the InterIachel
depot, was found guilty of murder il
the first degree yesterday afternoon
The case was given to the jury short
ly before noon, but it was 4:30 in tn
afternoon before verdict wa
reached. The jury was hung on tn
question of a recommendation t.
mercy. The verdict was "murde
in the first degree with a recon
mendation to the mercy of tn
court" Judge Wills immediatel
sentenced Carroll to state prison fo
the balance of his natural life.
The court was then adjourned fo
the term.

Fla:
"E. L. Mann, 70 Meanwhile, a town
located on the A. C. l.. R. R. in this
county, sixteen miles from this city
has made additions to his cannery,
preparatory to a large business the
coming season. Last season he put
up a large quantity of tomatoes,
boans and kraut, together with q
good many pears, and he expects to
do much larger business this coming
season. Mr.. Mann is brother of the
republican leader in the lower house
of congress"
Mr.. Mann, of Mannville, may not
be making blades OF grass grow
where none grew before, but he pre-
serves for use the products of the
labors of those who do. Mr.. Mann
of Washington, may not make any
grass grow, and somo of those on the
other side of the National House may
think at times that he does not per

called Farmers Convention to be
held in this city on Saturday, Nov
18th, at 2 o'clock p. m.
The object Of the convention is to
place before the farmers of the State
of Florida the important matter of
Rural Credit, and the Inauguration of
a system of farmers banks.
1t will be remembered that during
the past summer an American Com
mission has been touring European
countries for the purpose Of studying
the systems Of rural credits in vogue
there. This commission was sent out
at the instigation of the Southern
Commercial Congress, of which Sena-
tor Duncan U. Fletcher is president
The Southern Commercial Congress
has only this week closed its 1913
session at Mobile, Ala, where the
chief address was delivered by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Among the distinguished speakers
who will address the coming Palat-
ka meeting are Governor Park Tram
nell, Senator D. U. Fletcher and F.
J. H. Won Engelken, the latter being
Florida's representative on the Amer
ican Commission which spent the last
summer in Europe.
Senator Fletcher is the Chairman
of this Commission and the author
of the Senate bill which provides for
the establishment of farm mortgage
banks in this country. AS president
of tho Southern Commercial Congress
and of the Mississippi co Atlantic In
land Waterway Association, Senator
Fletcher is aiming to accomplish
great things for the south.
Gov. Trammell, who is advertised
as one of the speakers, is deeply in
terested in any mvoement for the ad-
vantage of the people. His populari-
ty is due to this fact.
1t is expected that there will be q
big gathering of farmers in Palatka
on the occasion of this meeting.

MAYOR USINA'S
TIMELY REQUEST
For a Clean City Should be
Needed.

| In view of the coming Sixth Annual
Convention of the Mississippi to At
lantic Inland Waterways Association,
which is to meet in Palatka on the
1913 of the coming month, Mayor
Usina has issued the following
Proclamation.
To the People of Palatka:
This city is soon to be the meeting
place of a great Convention, one of
Nationwide Importance, and with
delegates in attendance from all parts
of the Southland, and representing its
leading business and professional men.
This great gathering will place Pa
latka, at least for the time, promi-
nently on the map of our country,
and as an advertisement for our city
can be made to yield a percentage of
profit running into the hundreds. This
profit is going to depend on the sort
of IMPRESSION OUR VISITORS
CARRY AWAY.
Let us thon do our utmost to create
a GOOD IMPRESSION for our Gem
City. The easiest way to secure this
good impression is to present a bright,
cloan front. May not urge every
citizen to not only see that his own
premises are clean, but that all will
help to spread the gospel of a Clean
City among our people, and that you
will start NOW.
Yours for Clean City-a Pros
porous City,
A. USINA, Mayor.

They Are Window Trimmers.

The Tilghman Hardware Co. is
making a reputation for window
trimming that is worth dollars to the
company. Every week there is a new
display of goods. This week it has
been saws and axes, and tools for the
woods and the back yard. Next week
it will be something else. Simple
instruments in themselves, but when
displayed in a Tilghman window
passers by are simply compelled to
stand and take notice. These young
men are doing a real business. The
people of this county would do well
to always consult their advertise
nients in this paper. There is never
anything stale about them.

tractive idea in advertising this
week and one that will create some
comment. He proposes to give away
ten nice fat, juicy turkeys as Christ
mas dinner prizes to as many people.
All who make purchases at his store
of one dollar will be given a ticket
for each dollar spent, this ticket On
titling them to participates in the

Goes Home HappY.

Among the cases in the circuit
court which were mol pressed, or dis
during the week was one en-
titled the State of Florida VS.. S. ].
HOgg. Mr. Hogg is a good natured
farmer living at Fruitland who some
times engages in a little politics on
the side. He was indicted at the
spring term of court charged with
aggravated assault. The indictment
vas secured by a neighbor, Will Horn
esby, by name, quite recent conner
in that section. Twas simply a
neighborhood scrap in which there is
decided difference of opinion as to
which was the aggressor. Hornesby
insists that Hogg began the affair,
and Hcgg was here to prove that
Hornesby started it, There was only
one point on which both could agree
and that was that Hogg came out of
the scrap with the title of best man
States Attorney Long saw that Horn
esby had no evidence but his own anC
that a conviction was impossible sc
the play was called off, and in the
hope that time will heal the trouble
Mr.. Hogg went homo happy; he /!
not a Quarrelsome man, and it was &
new experience for him to be brouh
before the circuit court charged witt
breach Of the peace-and he a MAJ
