REMOVES DISABILITIES
 OF MARRIED WOMEN
Married Women Shall Have All Right to Contract and be Contracted With-EnjOy all Rights of
 Men in Law of Equity.

Little Rock, Feb. 19.-After a de- bate of nearly two hours, the House passed bill by Mr. Newberry to re- move the disabilities of married wo- men, by vote of 45 to 42. The bill provides that from and after the pas sage of this Act every married wo- man and every woman who may in the future become married, shall have all the rights to contract and be contracted with, to sue and be sued, and in law and equity shall en- joy all rights and be subjected to all the laws of this State as though she were a femme sole" The opposition to the bill was lead by Mr. Condray who argued that the present law is sufficient for the protection of the pro perty interests of married women. Speaker Sawyer on the floor made an argument for the bill as a matter of common justice to women, who are being mancipated from the restric- tions of the old English law.

IMPORTANT STRIKE MADE
 NEAR CITY OF NOME

NOME, Jan. 19-Edward ("Nugget" ) Johnson a well-known miner in the Nome district, has struck gold on tundra lake near Montrovile, half way between Nome and Little Creek, about two miles from Nome Johnson is working the ground un- der lease from large goldmining com panv. The strike was kept secret about two weeks, and the news has just leaked out
 Johnson drifted under the frozen lake and found body of gravel four feet deep, carving values with an average of 40 cents pan. Drifting has been done for con siderable distance The pay continues to hold as far as the ground has been drlfted, and Johnson says he has at least SlOO,0oO already blocked cut.
 Many miners think this strike IS a con tinuation of the Walrus, on Little creek, which produced million few years ago. Numerous mining outfits are now prospect ing in the vicinity of the strike, and mlnlng activities have received a new impetus.

CAMPBELL SEEKS WITNESS
 TO PROVE HIS INNOCENCE

Joseph Campbell, the man convicted in Iditarod in 1912 of the murder of the Nel- son brothers, in the Kuskokwim country, and sentenced to life imprisonment, has written the following letter from the fed eral penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan, to the postmaster at Nome:
 Dear Sir: 1 am going to ask favor of you although 1 do not know whether or not you will be able to help me.
 'I am irving to locate man by the name of Billy Barnhart; the name, how ever, may be differently spelled, but this is as near as I can remember. 1 left Barnhart at Rayson Mission, on the Yukon, about July 10, 1911.
 "At that time he was undecided whether he would go to Ruby or not. have caused inquiries to be made all over the upper country, but so far have not been able to get any trace of him. l know that he had been in the Nome country before, and I now think it possible that he may have drifted back around there some place, possibly in some of the smaller outlying camps l have been compelled to put peo- ple to considerable amount of trouble III this matter, and 1 am sorry to have to do it, but I am here in the penitentiary serv- ing life sentence for a crime l never com mitted. If l could find this man Barnhart and one or two more 1 am looking for l could prove my innocence and possibly get out of here. It is possible you have heard of my case 1 was arrested in June, 1912, at Ruby, Alaska, and later on, in the fall, I was convicted of having killed the Nelson brothers.
 They were supposed to have been killed in June or July, 1911, on their way down the kuskokwim river, on stampede into that country. l was going down the river on the same stampede, and that is how happened to be convicted of the crime. was acquainted with the Nelsons and good friends with them. I did not know they had been killed until shortly before l was arrested in Ruby At the time of my first trial hardly knew what witnesses l would need and when the trial was over It was too late to procure them, and those would have had to help me could not be located If there is any way you can help me m finding the whereabouts of Barnhart will very much appreciate your kindness and 1t may help to secure the liberty of an lnno cent man who is serving time for crlme he never committed.
 Yours respectfully,
 JOSEPH CAMPBELL.

WIFE OF CHIEF JOHN
 SEPARATED FROM AFFINITY
lF FairbankS Citizenl

How Chief John of the Gakona Indians thwarted the plans of the youngest of his two wives to escape and elope with Chief Henry of the Salcachet tribe is told by people arriving from the coast by way of the trail on Saturday.
 Chief John is getting we'll along in years, and thus when the younger chief from this side Of the Alaska range met the young wife of the former she was soon captivated by his youth and strength. It was dis covered by the older chief that an elope ment was planned, and he began to take precautions to prevent 1t.
 Chief Henry set up tent on the Chltna trail, this side of the mountains and ac cording to previous agreement waited there for the object of his affections to come to him at such a time as she could escape from the vigilance of her lord and master.
 The young wife made good her escape few days ago, but the old chief was swift in pursuit, and overlook her about the time she reached the young chiefs tent, Then she was led home by the ear, it Is reported.

 UNFAIR TO UNITED STATES

 "The fact that our fastest liner had to change her flag has shocked our pride as much as the loss of the ship would have shocked humanity If all or many Of our merchant liners were to do the same the result would be, as American papers are pointing out, to diminish the value of pro lection given by the American flag. Not only would that be undignifed in us and unworthy the nation which rules the seas, but it also would be unfair to the United States and it would reflect on us the same indignation as was aroused by Germany threat to disregard neutral flags.

RIJSH TO THE NORTH
 REPORTED FROM COAST

Word comes over the Seward trail to the effect that something in the nature ot stampede is in progress from Seattle and other Pacific coast ports to Alaska one re- port stating that passenger accommodations on vessels making Seward their destination were booked ahead up to July. The travel northward is in anticipation of the com mencement of construction work on the government railroad projects It IS sad that some anxiety is felt as to the result of the somewhat premature rush. The new corners are said to be mostly laborers, with little means, and as nothing definite has vet been announced as to when construc- ton will commence, it is probable that there will be much Restitution.
 It is believed that large numbers of the new arrivals will make their way to the Interior camps.

 While at Takotna he instituted Takotna Igloo No. II, Pioneers of Alaska, which started doing business with list of thirty two members The charter, as is the GUS tomary procedure in such cases, will remain open for a period of thirty days and at the expiration of that period it is quite certain that at least sixty names will ap- pear on the charter granted by the grand igloo Mir Wood is very much pleased with the success he had in the formation of the new igloo, and says the old-timers took to the proposition like young ducks to water. The membership of the new igloo is com posed almost wholly of pioneers residing on the kuskokwim river, and it is highly prob able that charter will be applied for shortly to establish an igloo at Ophir City, where many old residenters reside
