A Close Call

Almon Jones, the twenty.
Iyear-old son Of A. r. Jones,
came near losing his life last
night and it is by a miracle
chat he is alive today. He had
been out visiting friends last
evening and was returning
home about 1:45 when he had
to cross the Northwestern
tracks between Loveland and
Honey Creek near the old OLE
son farm. The road here is be-
tween two steep banks and he
did not notice the approach of
a train until he was nearly on
the track so he whipped up his
horse and was in the middle of
the track when the train struck
him. The horse was killed i'm.
mediately and the buggy re-
duced to kindling wood but Mr..
Jones picked himself up nearly
"a hundred feet from the track
with his clothes torn to shreds.
The train was stopped and he
was taken to Honey Creek
where a physician examined
him and found no bones broken
but his body was a mass of
bruises. That he escaped with
his life is q miracle.

SPOILED THE GAME.
Tho Prospects Wore Exosllsnt, but
They Were Too One Sided.


They Wore Toe One Sided.
A young singer who had been study
Ing for opera work had the good for
tune to be engaged by an impresario
for tour through South America. His
chest swelled with pride az he walked
the deck Of the steamer that was to
take him on his first trip to foreign
lands. On the second morning out he
was much surprised to meet an old
ciassmate, who, like himself, was
tenor singer.
well, well, where did you como
fro1n7 Where are you going?" each
asked the other.
And each answered, "I'm engaged by
an opera company for South Ameri-
can tour"
"My manager is on this steamer"
said one.
And mine too.'
Within 1--WE minutes both singers
found that they had been engaged by
the same opera company for the same
part. What does the man mean by
hiring two different men for the role
of first tenor?' asked one.
Pardon me-" interrupted youth
who had been standing near and over
heard their conversation. You have
myself and two other singers for COM
panions In this affair. We have just
found out to our surprise that we have
all been engaged by the same man for
the snme part on the same tour. What
under the sun can he mean by having
five first tenors?"
The five youths then took counsel
together and decided that they would
see the manager and demand an ex-
PLANTATION.
They found him on the forward deck.
He listened. seemingly amused at their
complaint, and said: Gentlemen. don't
you worry. am an old m experience
ed man in this game and know what
am doing If you were acquainted
with the climate Of South America you
would know yourselves that 1t is nbso-
utely necessary. We shall scarcely
arrive there before three or four Of
you fellows will he stricken with the
deadly tropical fever. Experience has
taught me in all my tropical tours to
allow for all sorts of mishaps and mis-
fortunes. OF course you can see what
excellent prospects are offered to the
Illap who is able to withstand every
thing" And with these words the
manager retired to his cabin
The five young singers then sat down
aud debated the excellent prospects. u
They soon came to II decision. One
chance In five Of being Il star singer
instead Of dead one did net prove
sufficiently attractive. SO when the
steamer stopped at Liverpool the
youths went ashore, and tie impresario
/, never saw them again.AYouth's Com

Automobiles are becoming 80
plentiful that the city should
pass an ordinance compelling
them to observe the road laws
in town as we'll as in the coun-
try. A car driving on the
wrong side of the street has no
defense in case of accident and
the liability of accident is also
much greater. The parking of
automobiles on the main streets
should also be looked into and
the cars be made to be headed
in the right direction, that is
with the right hand fender to
the curb.

COMPLAINS OF MAIL
sERvIcE I'd lNTERIo.
(Iditarod sfau)

The beauties of our mail service are exemplded in the fact that while it is possible to receive foreign news papers and other literature from a great distance, 1t seems out of the question to expect newspapers and periodicals from Seattle and other Pacific Coast cities. Large qutnities of advertising matter such as depart ment store catalogues. clutter up the mails. and yet newspaper mail of sev- eral months apparently is allowed to pile rp ot Seward. In this connection it might be suggested that the Seat Gle Chamber Of Commerce endeayor to ascertain the course of reasoning that iustities the delivery of London and New York newspapers in Inter- for Alaska from six weeks Go two months earlier than those from Seat tle and Tacoma. Also 1t would be in- teresting to know why 1t should be necessary to deliver carloads of Out. side advertising matter by means Of the winter mail service t would seem that this class of mail could very well be left to be transported by means Of the summer boat ser vice. thereby making possible the de- livery Of more important matter.

NOME JUDGE KNOCKS
 OUT ALASKA LAW

Judge John Randolph Tucker. jr. of the United States district court, at Nome, has held that the act of the Territorial legislature, which per mits any private citizen Of the age of 21 years to make service of Q sum. mons in a civil action, is void, ac- cording to the following item from the Nome Industrial Worker:
 ''Thls morning Judge Tucker de- clded that the act of the Territorial legislature providing that any per son over the age of twenty-one years could serve summons In civil ac- ton was void upon the ground that it deprived the United States Marsh al of 8 function of his office. The de- cision was rendered in the case Of Ivory versus the Nome Consolidated Dredging Co.,
 The law which was held to be invaI. Id by Judge Tucker was one Of those recommended by the Nome Bar As- sociatlon, and was introduced in the last legislature by Senator Frank A. Aldrich. who was member of the House or Representatives at that time.
 The law is one that is in effect in many of the States, particularly in Western States It was designed to make court proceedings less costly to litgants
