Mitchell, one of the survivors of the wreck of the Success who re- turned yesterday. After the drown ing when the bodies were washed ashore Mitchell and Captain Hansen dragged them up some distance on the beach. Captain Hansen was badly frozen and Mir. Mitchell was probably weakened from exposure, and they were no doubt unable to haul the bodies far enough from the water. MT. Mitchell was sent west by the authorities but on his return he an- nounced that he could find no trace of the remains.

Most Interesting
 School Exhibits
School Rooms Open to Visitors This
 Afternoon and Tomorrow.

The school exhibit opened today at 1 o'clock and from ,hat hour until g p. m., today and tomorrow, the rooms will be open to visitors. The examples of the work of the children are not only pleasant to view but are most interestingly instructive, show
 ing as they do the details of the juvenile exertions towards improve ment. Every bit of the work of the pupils for the year is represented and some original ideas of the children themselves are also brought out Ex- ampes of the previous work of the pupils are shown side by side with ex- amples of the improved work so that one may see the vast change that has taken place. In times to come, one can imagine, those examples might be of infinite interest to the pupils themselves. A gl mce at the exhibits show what a world of pains and skill has been used in bringing the children to a state of such ex- cclence and it also teaches the les son of the advance Alaska has made
 A visit to the exhibit ought to be a pleasure as we'll as a duty to oneself.

KILLED IN ACCIDENT
 AT BEAR CREEK

DAWSON, May l9.-John Hudson, an employee of the Canadian KlOn- dyke company, met his death at four minutes after three o'clock yesterday afternoon, while working about the pond of the company's dredge No. 2, near Bear creek. A large pile of tail ings on which Hudson ard three other workmen were handling some of the dredge lines at the edge of the pond gave way suddenly and unexpectedly. Hudson was on the side of the pile, and was carried down with the gray el. The water in pond near the edge of the gravel was twenty-eight feet deep. No trace has been found of the body. It is feared the gravel slid over him in considerable quantity and that possibly he was buried at consio, erable depth. The pond has been dragged extensively in that region, with no trace of the man having been obtained. The pond is so deep and the tailings so extensive there, says General Manager Boyle, that it seems impossible now to pump the water from that pond, where a constant seepage is coming in in large quanti- ties from the river, but it may be that later in the season lower water will make it possible to get to the body. Everything possible has been done, he says, and will be done in hopes of recovering the body if possible.

ALASKAN'S ROMANCE
 Is SHORT LIVED

Is SHORT LIVED
 The many Alaska friends of Will liam NJ. Wise, manager of the Hotel Granda, San Francisco, and formerly a resident of Candle on Seward peni- nsula, will be surprised to learn that his wife has sued him for a divorce, after having lived together exactly thirty-fve days.
 The wedding which took place December 3 last, was a social event and was the sequel to a romantic comtship. A few days after the we'd ding the young couple discovered that there was not that temperamental af- fmity between them that they had be- lieved existed during the courtship.
 In a few days the friends of the young couple, who had predicted much happiness for them because of their great love for each other, began hear ing the rumors of discord. According to the wife's divorce action Wise ire Quently declared that he had made a mistake in getting married, as any man is better off single.
 Also he told her that his family hated her, and always would hate her. On several occasions he spoke harshly to her, particularly on December 24, when, she says, he addressed her in an insulting manner in the presence of friends, which greatly humiliated her.

ARE THOSE TWO GIRLS
 LIVING IN SEWARD?

That two girls are living now in Seward, perhaps, who were the cause of a deep mystery is the story appear ing at present in outside papers. The following account of the ease is from the Seattle Star of May 22:
 SNoHOOISH, Wash, May 22.- While Victor E. Innes and his wife were taken from their home in Eugene, Ore, to stand trial for the murder of Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis and Miss Beatrice Nelms at San An tonic, Tex, the two women were alive and well in Snohomish, according to the newest developments in the fam ous mystery case.
 They are today believed to be living in Seward, Alaska.
 The disappearance of the two sisters two years ago under myster- ious circumstances, followed by the discovery of human bones near San Antonio, led to the belief that they had been murdered.
 Marshall Nclms, a brother of the women, swore to the complaint charg- ing his brothcr-in-law, mncs, and his wife, with the murder.
 They were tried, but not convicted
 Attorney Investigates
 The mystery continued as deep as ever until today, when Former City Attorney NJ. J. McGuinness of Sno- homish concluded a preliminary in- vestigation begun at the request of a man named Britt Craig, of Atlanta.
 According to Craig, the Nelms sisters were close acquaintances of a man named Paul Buckley in the South, and he left about the same time they disappeared.
 Buckley has been traced to Sno- homish by Craig.
 Left for Alaska
 On Saturday, Craig wired Me Guinness to see Buckley and ask him if he krew the whereabouts of the Nelms sisters.
 The Buckley referred to came here about two years ago with Mrs. Buckley and her sister.
 They left for Alaska about a year ago, after Buckley had been in the saloon business in Snohomish for eight months.
 Called Her Beatrice"
 McGuinness was Buckleys attorney
 He knew Mrs. Buckley and also had heard her sister referred to as Beatrice"
 Buckley is described as a well-built, fne-looling man, weighing about 200 He was about 40. His height was about five feet Il inches.
 Mrs. Buckley, believed to be Mrs. Nelms, is described as a woman of. about 85, we'll built, vigorous vitality, dark complexioned.
 McGuinness is not sure whether the younger sister went to Alaska al- SD or not.
 A wire from Seward received byI the attorney last July from BlcjIey said he was going prospecting.
 No reason is given foc the ineX- plicable silence of Miss Nelms and her sister, if they are alive, when their brothcr-in-law and his wife were ac- cused of murder.
