NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Woman Who Had Suffered for Many
Years Is Cured by Bolt of
Lightning.

The medical faculty was put to
shame by a bolt Of lightning which
the other night struck the farmhouse
of Charles A. Burdick, on Washing
ton Ridge, says the Berlin Comm
correspondent Of the New York Her
aid. The electric bolt destroyed arti-
cles in all the eight rooms OF the
house and did damage exceeding ST.
600, but it cured Mrs. Burdick of rheu'
matism, from which she had suffered
for many years.
Mrs. Burdick was about to put wood
In the kitchen stove when the bolt
struck her, knocking her down and
rendering her unconscious. One of
her feet was on zinc beneath the
stove. The lightning took a nail out
of the sole of her shoe and her foot
was severely burned. DR.. Thomas
Mulligan Of New Britain soon revived
her.
Today Mrs. Burdick, although SUI
fering from the burns or her foot,
was free from rheumatic pains. She
does not think the price her husband
must pay in repairs to the house too
high, but Mr.. Burdick is discreetly ST.

GETTING RID OF INVENTOR
How General Miles Handled Wild
Eyed Man With BulIetproof
Army Coat.

When General Miles was at the head
of the army he used to be continually
besieged by cranks with pneumatic
firing guns, d;rigible war balloons and
other martial inventions. But the gen
eral would weed these cranks out with
admirable speed. An inventor in his
Office one day tells of a curious Incl
dent in this relation.
A card was brought in and laid be-
fore the general.
ooh, send him in," said Miles. His
business won't take more than a min
ute OF two"
So in came a ~wild-eyed, long-haired
man., twisting his soft hat nervously
in both hands.
General" he said, 81 have here
and he took out a small parcel
bulletproof army coat. If the govern
ment would adopt this"
Put it on; put it on!" said General
Miles. And he rang the bell The
clerk appeared as the inventor was
getting into the coat.

captain of the guard to order one 81
his men to load his rife with ball and
cartridge and"
Excuse me, general, 1 forgot some
thing" interrupted the inventor. An6
with a hunted look he disappeared.

son in various forms of patriotic

To Be Penalized

Hereafter delinquent taxpayers
will be charged ten per cent addi-
tional as matter of punishment
for their long delay, according to
ruling made by the city council
at its meeting last Monday night
In addition to that, they will be
required to pay interest on overdue
taxes.
Although the council at its meet
ing last Monday night allowed the
school board $3.50 for interest on
warrants, it refused to appropriate
$3.50 to the board for sundry ex-
penses until the board can show
for what purpose the money is to
be used. Councilman Myers stated
that he believed that every effort
should be made to avoid friction
with the school board, but Council
man Callahan insisted that no money
should be appropriated without item
lied accounts first being submitted
The council refused to pay any
thing toward the expense of the bur
ials OF J. w. Moore and Alex
Peterson. as it was asserted that
the former died outside of the
city and the latter was partially paid
for by popular subscription and was
not authorized by the city
1t was suggested by Mayor Smith
that Judge Bunnel should be asked
to limit the number OF saloons in
Fairbanks, and the suggestion met
with no opposition 1t was agreed
however, to let the matter go over
until this evening.

IMMIGRATION CHANGED.
The character of the annual in

undergone a remarkable change In
recent decades. During the decade

from Europe brought us 1,452 900
Germans and 100000 Italians. The
decade Of 19O1-191o brought Ball. 600
Germans and 1,O45,O00 Italians. The
figures well indicate the falling off
of immigration from northwestern
Europe and the rise Of tide from
southeastern Europe.
Taking the immigration popula.

CLARK IS NAMED
CLERK OF COURT

Joseph E. Clark, chief deputy mar
shall. was appointed early last week
by Judge Bunnell as clerk of the
court. He will assume his new duties
on April /, and until that time will
continue as chief deputy marshal.
The appointment came as a sur
prise, for it was not known that Mr.
Clark's name had been considered
for the position. Judge Bunnell
and Mr. Clark both assert that he
did not apply for the position.
Previous to offering the job to
Mr.. Clark, Judge Bunnell rendered
it to William Burns, now a member
of the legislature, but Mr. Burns de
clined the offer, as he said his min
ing interests would prevent his ac-
cepting it.
When Mr.. Clark retires from his
present position, he will be succeed
ed as chief deputy by Joseph =.
Miller, now one of the deputies in
the marshal's office.
Judge Bunnell explained when in
terviewed on the matter, that he
wuold have preferred to have KEEP
the present clerk, Mr.. Mcbride, in
the job until July, had it not been
that Mr.. Mcbride was anxious to
leave. He asked Mr.. Mcbride to
remain until April l., and this he
agreed to do.

luncheon, there were moving pic
