AUTO BREAKS DOWN AND
 PUT OUT OF COMMISSION

The Mutchler Bros auto, which has done such good service in the passenger traffic between Iditarod and Flat City during the season, broke down during the week and has been put out of commission until next spring It would have been impossible to operate the car during the winter season, and as snow may be expected almost any time now, it was not thought worth while to again patch it up this year.

SUDDEN DEATHOF
 CHAS. DRAPEAU

The death of Charles Drapeau, which oc- cured at the Mcdonald about midnight last Saturday night and brief mention of which was made last week, came as a great shock to the many friends and acquaintances of the popular entertainer.
 Mir Drapeau had been in poor health for several months, and while he was not thought to be dangerously i'll, he had been an intense sufferer. On the day of hls death he had been making arrangements for the removal of his moving picture plant to Flat City to give a series of shows, ex- pecting to return here by November 1, and had ordered advertisements to that effect with The Pioneer. At that time he seemed to be in better shape physically than for some time past During the evening he had chatted pleasantly with friends and retired about 10 o'clock Shortly afterwards he was seized with severe pains and Mrs. Nc Donald of the Mcdonald hotel hastily sum moned assistance, and everything possible was done to relieve him, but without sue cess. He died before the arrival of Dr. Aur- finger from Flat City.
 It has been possible to learn but little in regard to his antecedents prior to his resi-. dence in the North. Several persons now l lviing in the district knew him in Dawson in early days, and later in Fairbanks. For a time he resided in Ruby, where he be- came a member of the Pioneers of Alaska, but did not keep up his membership. He appears to have had but few intimates. It was said that he had brother in Fairbanks, but the efforts of Percy Charles, president of the local Pioneers igloo, were unsuccess- 1 full in locating him by telegraph. It was 1 learned that he had a sister in Nova Scotia, and ske was communicated with. No re- sponse has been received, however.
 A little more than year ago MT. Drapeau came to this city with a moving picture outfit, from Ruby, and with the exception of several months last winter, when he took bis outfit over the trail to Takotna, Me Grath Ophir, Long City and Ruby he has been here since that time. He had been a resident of Iditarod in the early days of the camp also, when he followed the occupa- l ton of musician

 The Funeral
 The funeral was held at 2 o'clock last Tuesday and while it was not held under the auspices of any lodge, many members of the Pioneers igloo were present, and the officials of that organization made the ar engagements for the obseouies. The services were held in Smiths undertaking chapel and E. M Stanton read the burial service. The place was crowded to the doors. Ladies of the city had contributed profuson of flowers made up in wreaths and set pieces and the coffin was literally covered with the blossoms.
 | The interment was at the 1ditarod ceme- tery, the pail bearers being Frank Stanley, Andy Conlin, Herb Plan, Gene Norton and William Thomas.

New York, June 25.-The success of
the second Austro- Hungarian war
loan is assured, according to wireless
messages received here from Vienna

the continuation Of the war for at least
10 months.
Subscriptions continue to come In
the statement says, land there is a
fair prospect that the total amount
will pass the billion dollar mark. Sub
scriptions for the first war loan totals
1000. 900 and therefore the sums con-
tributed by the population of the dual
monarchy amount at present to ST.
800, 000, 900.
THE total Indebtedness Of Austria
Hungary which previous to the war
amounted to $4,000, 100000. has thus
been raised to $500, 100000. In this
connection it Is pointed out that the
total wealth of Austria Hungary is es-
timated at s25, O0O, 900. the INCREASE
of Indebtedness, therefore, amounts tc
only 6 per cent. Of the national wealth

RUSSIAN EXERT!0NS
TO REGAIN GROUND

Berlin, June %, via London, June 2G
LOS A.. M.-With reference to the
statement in today's official communi-
cation regarding Gen. Linsingen's par
tial retirement to the south bank OF
the Dniester river, special dispatches
received from CzernowitZ, Bukowina,
describe the desperate eXertions of the
Russians for several days to regain
their lost ground on the Dniester line
and in Bessarabia.
The fighting, according to these dis
patches, has been uninterrupted for
four days and nights and the Rus
slams wasted the lives OF their troops
by recklessly marching them in
masses into the Austrian fire. Large
heaps of Russian dead it is asserted,
lie before the Austrian trenches. The
fighting is declared to be particularly
desperate eastward of ZaIe Szczyki.
The Russians are said to be charging
repeatedly along the river. At few
places, the yhave succeeded in fighting
their way nearly to the Austrian posi-
tons, but suffered frightful losses and
were compelled to retire before the de-
termined Austrian resistance.
Similar scenes, it is asserted, are be-
ing enacted daily in Bessariba.

Berlin, June 25.-Via London-A
semi official statement has been is
sued explaining and defending the
German use Of asphyxiating gases.
The first point made is that the Brit
ish and French employed such gases
before the Germans and in addition to
the earlier statements Of the German
official war reports concerning such al
legged use, the statement now cites the
text OF a communication said to have
been issued by the French ministry
Of war, describing two sorts Of projec-
tile designed to produce a sitting gas
and the mode Of their usage. This
communication is said to have been
dated Feb. 81, before the Germans en-
ployed gas in their attack upon Ypres.
This circular, which it is claimed
emanated from the French war min
istry, is headed Remarks upon pro-
jectiles with sitting gases" and says
among other things:
So-called projectiles with sitting gases
produced in our central workshop contain
a fluid which pours OUT after explosion
gases which inf1ame the eyes, nose and
throat. There are two. sorts thereon
hand grenades and cartridges"
Under the heading precautionary
Measures to Be employed in Attacks in
Which Such Projectiles with Sitting
gases Are Thrown" the circular says

FIR. Carey Lectures on Subject:
"Who Can Forgive Sins But
God?"-No Lecture Tonight
Mission Closes Sunday Night

There was another good attendance at
the mission for non-Catholics at ST. Ma
rvs church last evening, Father Carey
lecturing on the subject who Can For
give Sins hut God?" He spoke about the
natural craving in tho heart of man for
immortality and the obstacle to it, name
ly, sin; drawing analogies from the phys
ical world to illustrate the moral and
physical truths. He pictured wildly the
tyranny of conscience in man when siu
has not already drugged that conscience
and the cry of the soul to find some alb
soiutely sure remedy for sin and infal.
lible guarantee for pardon and life. He
showed from Holy Scripture that Christ
in His mercy answered the cry of the
soul in the sacrament of baptism and for
post-baptismal sins in the sacrament of
penance-both instituted by Christ. There
was the usual number Of questions. all
of which he readily answered. There
will be no lecture Saturday night, but
the mission will close Sunday night with
the subject why l am a Catholic" or
the way Of finding the live church of
Christ"
