SOME NERVE

In a mine back of Juneau machine man and helper drilled fourteen holes in the wall or face of solid rock. The holes were loaded and the machine man lit the fuses while the helper was clearing away some tools. Just when they were all burning a slab of rock fell from above and pinioned the ma chine man against the face where they had been drilling. He could not escape. In a moment the terrible blasts would complete the tale. The helper seeing the predicament opened his pocket knife and began cutting the fuses. When about one-half through a second rock fell and broke is arm. He took the knife in his other hand and finished cutting the fuses and then called for help to eXtricate the machine man. There was an ex- ample of presence of mind and real bravery.-Douglas News.

POSTCARD COMES FROM
 A RUSSIAN PRISONER

Theodore Kutscher has received from his cousin, Christopher Blech- mann, Russian prisoner of war in the hands of the Germans at Star gard, in Prussia, postcard of more than usual interest. In the first place the card is stamped at New York in American English. "No charge for postage-prisoner of war mail"
 The card is printed in Russian but Mir. Blechmann apparently had to write his communication in German. He asks for money and tobacco. The card was addressed to Mir. Kutscher at Sausalitus, California, as his cousin states, mot knowing where you may be-" It has been about four years since the two have heard from each other. This card has passed through the military censors and passed on free by the U. s. postal service and finally reached its correct destination at Seward. Alaska. Although an open postal card, it bears the military censor stamp, "Open and Approved.

HEBRON AND SHACK.

While in Valdez Mir. Heron met several of the leading Republicans of Valdez and stated that he had been in communication with the party leaders of the other divisions and be- lieved that Seward would be selected as the place where the convention will be held. The date of the convention has not been arranged but it is be- lieved that it will be held late in March or early in April.
 It is understood that Heron is de- sirous of eliminating both Wicker sham and Shackleford from control of the party, believing that the only way uponiwhich the ranks of the party can be united. In the past he has been a staunch supporter of Shackle- ford and may continue to do so if the latter does not attempt to foist Wick ersham on the party.
 If the threatened break between Shackleford and Heron for control of the party materializes it will be a pretty fight before the convention next spring as both men are working to secure the support of the different divisions.-Valdez Prospector.

ROMANCE OF A
 SPOKANE LEGISLATOR
Makes Madden Speech and Has to Pay
 Quarter for It.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The day Congressman c, c. Dill from Wash ington State rises up in Congress and makes his maiden speech it's go- ing to cost him twenty-five cents. No. more than that-25 cents plus com pound interest thereon for 14 years. The congressman, this sessions youngest, has owed that quarter ever since he was 16. His creditor is Mrs. Fanny Bell, Mt. Gileaw, Ohio, and she has his note to prove it. It reads:
 "Fredericktown, O.,
 Mar. 10, 1901. $.25
 "For value reed I promise to pay Fanny Berry Bell the sum of twenty five cents with compound interest at 6 per cent when I shall have made my first speech in the State Legislature or the U. S. Congress or shall have won my first fight in either.
 C.C. DILL" That note may account for the fact that Dill is a national lawmaker at so early an age. He simply couldn't wait any longer to get that debt off his mind. The circumstances were these:
 Dill lived on rented farm near Fredericktown, Ohio. Mrs. Bell was the wife of the owner. On one corn CT of the farm was the Salem M. E, church and one day a box social was announced for Saturday night at the church. Mrs. Bell asked young Dill if he were going. Nope, didn't have the necessary quarter, he explained cheerfully.
 "I'n lend it to you," she said.
 Don't know when l can pay it i back" he demurred.
 "Pay it back when you make your first speech in Congress" she sug- gested. Dill, being a terribly earnest young man, had made no secret of the fact that he was going to Con- gress some day. The farm lad ac- cepted the money and drew up the note.
 He had a good time at the social, untroubled by his new financial bur den. Five or six years later he fell into the camp of Tom Johnson and became one of his secretaries during his gubernatorial campaign. After the campaign Johnson asked him what he was going to do.
 "I'm going to Congress, said Dill. "All right" said Johnson; "You go out West and pick out some good growing town and stay there till they send you"
 Dill went to Spokane, Wash. And l here he is.
