come Of the most popular etsrs Of moving
picture dramas. Followina is synopsis
Of the plot:
It was big job that District Attorney
Graham undertook when he started his
crusade against the great city's gambling
bells. Iawer Judson Flsgg who owned
a notorious joint, and whose interest was
best served when the wheel spun merrily,
knew that little short Of death could stop
Graham once he got his hand in; and,
being man Of determination himself,
entered the fight to win by every means
an INSCRIPTIONS man can employ.
Through Mrs. Cuyler Hastings, socie-
ty woman owing him q large gambling
debt, he introduce his aide, Joe Hunter,
to Graham's daughter Aline, at house
party. Hunter is dashing, polished,
handsome, and seemingly extremely de-
voted, and, not withdrawing Graham's
dislike for him, finally manages to secret
~ marry Aline. In raid on Flagg's
place after this, Hunter wounds Graham,
and escaping in an auto, rnshes to Aline,
and demands money, telling her their
marriage was q fake planned by bunch
OF politicians to get" her father, and
that unless che helps him with money,
the whole thing will come out. After he
departs with her necklace. the suffering
girl sends him note begging him not to
desert her. This note sent to him at
Flaeg's Office, is opened by Flagg, who
counts it his best weapon in defesting her
father in his campaign for Governorship.
Aline goes to Flage at his Office to buy
the letter. Flaeg has q fashlight cum
ningly arranged to catch Aline in acom-
promising position. He has not figured
on his own susceptibility to her beauty
however, and in an attempt to kiss her is
killed. The camera has done its work,
however, and it is through the reckless
devotion of Captain Holbrook, also in
love with her, that her name 10 not be-
smirched, and her father is saved for his

Natchez, landed at st. Joseph, about the
same hour OF the day and got dinner
together at . restaurant conducted by
one of their race, and right then there

break. The two strangers referred to
were George H. Woods and Taylor viii
liams and the keeper OF the restaurant
was Nat Cullens, whose death occurred on
the 10th inst. And right here We take
pleasure in saying that Tensas parish has
never had three better colored citizens
than this trio. Each has been . coutin-

law-abidine, and industrious and has
exercised great influence for good upon
his race. Cullens passed to his reward

The musical given at the Hall on Tues
day evening for the benefit of Christ

Mis Van Hose was each q feature of
unusual merit, while Miss Curry's inim-

peated enchore. Mr.. G. H. Clinton en-
tertained the audience with q reading
that was happy climax to most delight

an uproar from the beginning to the

were very satisfactory. A booth filed
with choice Xmas novelties Of home
manufacture had been arranged and
every article found ready sale, while the
confectionery counter was probably the
center Of attraction. Owing to the prev

neighborhood many who probably would
have attended were prevented from COM

 CHICAGO. Jan. Nightmares of eternal winter in which the sun never rose and snow covered prairies stretch- ed in endless vistas drove Charles Mayo insane. He committed suicide today to drive away visions of gold fields of the klondike which haunted him nightly as he tried to sleep in his room in the factory of the Central Asbestos X Magnesia Company.

 Ten women participated in the race, which Was oyer an eight mile course. rhe race started at noon, the teams leaving dt five minute intervals, and there was not all uninterestiuS moment from start to finish, all of the ladies handling their dog teams ill masJerlul style.

 From before the race to the finish, Miss Jessie Harper was the favosite in the betting on account of the fact that her team showed up the best in the trial run. However, in the race proper the dogs seemed to he afraid of the crowds which lined the route and failed to finish as was expected Conse- quently much money changed hands on final result of the race.
 Another race is now being arranged by the Panama Valley Kennel club un- der whose auspices the recent affair was held.

 Little is known of his life beyond tales of his search for gold in the KIondike When he applied for posi- tion as chemist with the company he told Henry Rehe. the president that he had been employed as superintendent of a large manufacturing concern in New York. but had resigned in 1896 to join the great gold rush to Alaska.
 Mayo is believed to have shot him self through the tin horn because his hands were. unsteady and he feared that thc bullet might miss it's mark.

siderably higher than the great body of those who make up the laboring masses of the country. From this large body of men. there is little reason to doubt that the government can secure practically all the workers. both skilled and unskilled, that may be needed. at least, as suggested by Chairman Edes. in so far as will be necessary for the construction of the initial unit. The railroad is to be built for Alaska and primarily for the use of Alaskans and
 it is fittingly that beside the profit de rived from the operation of the road they should also profit through the medium of the money expended in con struction.

THE BATTLEFIELD or PEACE

Two men were picked up dead the other day one was found Ill the grass on a prairie; the other in a damp base ment in d densly populated section of the city The ambulance doctor, who looked over the two corpses, analysed the causes of death as starvation and exposure. The police supplied the so- ciologic description of the men. Buns they called them.
 When men are dying by the thou sands each cay in the fields and prairies of war smitten Europe 1t may seem trivial 10 call attention 10 these two deaths of these two men ill Chicago. Yet is no trival matter. The death of these two men with no roofover their heads, without friend to close their eyes, shows that peace has it battlefields no less than war While it is true. perhaps, that the confirmed bum often will not take work even when 1t IS offered him it is also true that in the first stages the tramp or hobo is no infrequently victim of conditions. No child is & hobo when he Is in his mothers arms or when he goes 10 school It is when he goes out into the world with poor equipment and with Do guiding hand to steer him through the troubled waters of steep competition that he sinks. Science is proving that vagraney. even where it
 is "pathologic," also is acquired. Vo- cational training and guidance would have steered many hobo into entirely different channels if administered at the proper time.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. MARCH 25, 1915.
AN EXCELLENT PROVISION.

The announcement of Chairman Edes of the Alaska Railroad Commission that Alaskan labor will be favored in the construction of the proposed railroad, besides being welcome news to Al askans, further indicates that the ad ministration has most friendly re- gard for this great territory and will make all possible effort to assist in it's present and future development Con- sidering that this policy is diametrical- iy opposed to the usual procedure of employing poor relatives and those with political influence on government works. it also marks tendancy to es- cape from the nepotlsm which has long of our form of government The in- auguration of a work of such magni- tude would indeed be d fat melon for the political satraps to apportion to their favored dependents were il not that the government has thus early in- terposed the condition that Alaskans must be employed wherever possible. And this ruling is but right and just Alaska has at all times a large surplus of labor within it's own boundaries and there is doubtless several thousand men in the territory at the present time who would welcome the opportunity to obtain employment on the railroad con struction work This applies not only 10 raw labor, but also there are great number of men who are fitted by pre- vious experience and training to fill nearly every requirement. of construc- tion work of this nature. The majority of Alaskans are men of diversified talents and few are laboring in the same field of employment to which they were accustomed before coming to Alaska in pursuit of fortune Men many be found working in the rough garb of the miner who are graduates or cOlIe6cS ana teennlcdl Scn0OIS, ana are competent in every way to dis charge duties requiring the highest degree of knowledge and technical skill. Such men may be found toiling in pit and stope in almost every mining camp in the territory Usually these men have not succeeded in securing the anticipated fortune and as there is no field for the employment of their tal- ents they are reduced to the necessity of taking whatever employment comes 10 hand, Few care to return to the old environments and thus they continue 10 finger in the hope that some day fortune will smile and plenty will be theirs
