DEMOCRATS OF NOME ACTIVE.

The democrats held a caucus last night and made final disposal of the proxies for this division. They also adopted resolutions for presentation to the convention which. in accord ance with Dooley's famous dictula concerning democratic characteristics denounced and deplored" every thing in sight, from carpet baggers to bureaucracy and the need for a full territorial government. Resolu- tions were also passed giving full need of praise to a certain noted democrat, Judge Bunnell, of the Fourth division, who may yet be- come the democratic standard bear CT, if the signs are good for any thing. Among the things most deeply denounced" was the failure to live up to the democratic plat form in the matter of appointing Alaskans to offices in the territory.
 The caucus also endorsed several native sons" for various exalted offices. George B. Grigsby was en- dorsed for delegate, Hugh O'Neill for attorney general of the terri tory and Senator Charles Sulzer for national committeeman. - (Nome Nugget.)

 UNDER ROCK

TREADWELL, April 1.-Gus P. 'Clary, 26, miner in the "700,' was killed almost instantly while working in the mine last night. The young man was barring down loose piece of rock, when one, immediately overhead, caved in burying him almost completely. As sistant Superintendent Landsberg and Foreman Johnson were notified about ten o'clock of the accident hut were unable to secure the body until an hour later when life was extinct. The remains were removed to the St. Ann's hospital until word from relatives is received.
 The deceased began work at the "700" mine September 22, 1915, having been employed with the pio- neer Mining Company, at Nome AL aska, prior to that time.
 Clary was a native of McLeanbar. H., and is survived by a younger sister in Stanley, Ky, who was mo- tifed of the disaster, this morning. A brother, whose address had not been obtained today, is the only other relative.
 Although the deceased had been in the employment of the Treadweil company less thal a year, he had made many friends and was highly respected by those with whom he worked and by his employers as young man of sterling character. He was a devout Roman Catholic.
 The remains are in charge of Undertaken Thomas, and unless d;f- ferent word is received from rel atives funeral services will take place from St Ann's church, Mon day morning. -JLneaI Empire.

NOME MEN HAD
 A HARD TRIP
Nome Nugget. Feb. 19.D


 | Reports from the Nugget road house this morning say that a party consisting of Leo Wittenberg, Bob Rice and a native boy had a mar row escape from death in blind ing blizzard night before last and but for the timely arrival of a na- tive proceeding to the roadhouse Would probably be now lying be- meath a snow drift. As it was the little party spent the greater part of thirty-siX hours buried in the snow, unable to proceed in the fur ious gale which tossed the snow in binding sheets and made even the dogs invisible to the drivers. Witten- tenberg is reported to be uninjured by his experience but Rice and the native are suffering from severe frost bits.
 Rice is said to be in particularly bad shape and is badly frozen on both hands and feet. The injuries of the native are confined to the wrists of both arms and while pain ful are in no degree serious. Wit tenberg informed the Nugget today that the party left the U. s. road house Friday morning at seven. There was a slight wind blowing at the time which gave little hint of the terrific gale that was to arise later and obliterate every thing from view, compelling the party to seek shelter in a snow bank to escape it's whitening fury.
 Everything went well until short ly after noon when the blizzard suddenly bore down upon them in a hurricane of driving snow and the party were compelled to seek inn mediate shelter. As travelling was out of the question the trio buried themselves in the snow. There they remained all of Friday afternoon and night and the major portion of the next day.
 In the interval the wind continued to blow with terrific intensity and the driving snow prevented any at temnt to escape from their burrow. Gold and famished with hunger, the party remained in their uncomfort- able quarters until Saturday after noon when a native came upon the travellers and guided them to the roadhouse, which was only about a mile away. Arriving there it was found that Rice was in bad shape and the native boy of the party was also frost bitten.
 After trying to relieve the suffer- CTS with such means as the road house afforded, 1t was decided to telephone to town for a team to bring him in for medical attention. The marshal's office was called and Percy Blatchford was sent out this morning. Wittenberg says that the native will be all right but he is not sure that Rice will be so for tunate, although he is not aware of the full nature of his injuries. He says that their escape was pro- vidential in every degree, but for the arrival of the native they would probably be in the snow drift vel.

DR.. TRUMP'S HOME

Al OF >FIREMEN SAVED THr

ORIGIN OF FIRE A MYSTERY AZ
THE DOCTOR HAD RECENTLY
VISITED THE CELLAR.

Yesterday evening about fsa
o'clock fire broke out at Tho rat
dence of the Rev. DR.. Charles
Trump, pastor of ST. Johns Lutheran
church, who resides in West Nartir
street, and did considerable damage
% the parlor and cellar
At the time OF the fire nr. Trmn
was in his study on the second aaer
writing. Mrs. Trump was in her room
on the same floor also writing. V8as
Miss Bass was in her room in the roar
cart OF the house.
About 3 O'clock DR.. Trump had g3rs
TO the cellar to put some coal in tho
furnace. As usual he lit a ga ief
near the furnace, and upon retur0Iny
turned it off. There was no possible
way for that to create a fire.
About o'clock some friends were
being entertained in the parlor. They
left about $3.50 o'clock, and at mis-
hour DR.. Trump went down into thp
dining room TO eat a light lunch
and no odor OF smoke was noticed ar
detected. but about o'clock smoke
with the odor of pine was detected
by DR.. Trump in his study.
Upon opening the door he discov
cred the halls, but upper and lower
full of smoke. He opened the door
into Mrs. Trump's room and saw. no
smoke there. He then rushed down
stairs and opened the front and back
doors and discovered the smoke was
coming from the cellar, and upon on.
ening the door in the hall leading 10
the cellar, volumes of smoke rolled
out. He then went TO the outside eel.
ar windows and broke them open. and
learned that the fire was beyond all
possibility of his checking it,
The fire department was then cal.
ed, and placing hose in the front
cellar window soon had the flames ex-
tinguished, but not until 10 square feet
of the ceiling was burned, iOist and
flooring, the flames penetrating the
sideboards of the parlor on two sides
| AS there was no combustible material
| near the fire it is difficult to discover
how it occurred, although the loca-
| ton was discovered at a post upon
| which some boards were nailed, a foot
! from the ceiling, where a steam pipe
ran along these boards. This steam
| pipe was supposed to have been cover
ed with asbestos but upon examina-
| ton it was found that the covering
| was not asbestos, but paper The
! boards which were supposed to have
| become ignited were rich pine.
Here the fire originated, but how is
| mystery. The joists and flooring
for a space of about 10 feet will have
to be renewed. Ten minutes later the
entire first floor would have been in
hames, or had the occupants been
] away, the home might have been in
ruins, unless saved by the prompt aC.
/ ton of the fire department.
DR.. Trump and family and the Luth.
eran congregation appreciate the
| prompt action of the fire department
which most likely prevented a seri.
Gus fire. The police also exercised
| good judgment in handling the crowd.

4 WORD WITH WOMEN
Valuable Advice for Martinsbura
Readers.

Many woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of back
ache, pains about the hips, blue,
nervous spells, dizziness and urinary
disorders, hopeless of relief because
she doesn't know what is the matter
1t is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to
the sex" Often when the kidneys get
and pains follow.
You can tell it is kidney trouble if
the secretions are dark colored, con-
tain sediment; the passages are too
frequent or scanty. Then help the
weakened kidneys. Don't expect
them to get well alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands of women. They
are endorsed at home-Read this
Martinsburg woman's convincing
statement:
Mrs. John Ambrose, 100 S. Water
St, Martinsburg, says: 81 had a
spell of trouble with my back and
kidneys. The kidney secretions
were unnatural. Ny back hurt and !
was often lame and sore. Doan's
Kidney Pills greatly relieved me of
the pains and soreness and the lame
ness was removed. They also regu-
lated the action of my kidneys"

WINTER WHEAT SLUMPS
MANY MILLION BUSHELS
Official Forecast Indicates a Crop Far
Smaller Than Those of the
e. Last Two Years.

A total production of 495, 100000
bushels of winter wheat is the fore
cast by the Department of Agricul
ture, basing it's estimate on the con-
ton of the crop April / and an as
sumption of average abandonment
of acreage and average influences on
the crop to harvest. That compares
with 655, 045, 900 bushels, the estimat-
ed production in 1915, and 6S4,990, 900
bushels in 1914.
The condition of winter wheat on
April 1 was 1873 per cent of a nor
NAL against SS.S last year, 95.6 in
1914 and S7.3, the average for the
last 10 years. There was decrease
in condition from December l to April
| of ga points, compared with an av-
erage decline of 35 points between
those dates in the last 10 years.
The average condition of rye on
April 1 was S7.S per cent of a normal
against S9.5 on April l last year, 91.9
in 1914 and 1919, the average for the
last 10 years.
The Department of Agriculture, in
a statement analyizing the report,
said:
The small production forecast is
due partly to a reduction of about
IL per cent from the acreage of the
preceding year, and to a low condi.
tion of growth, namely, 1873 per cent
of normal, which is lower than the
condition on April in any year since
1904. 1t is 10 per cent poorer than
the 10-year average on April Il.
The cause of the low condition
was wet, cold fall, causing poor
seed beds and poor start for winter
ing. Much of the crop was sown
late, partly from necessity OF the sea-
son and partly TO avoid Hessian fly.
The Hessian fly is reported present
and active in many sections of the
southern part of the Deft.
Climatic conditions were harder on
late thdn on early seeded wheat. The
winter snow covering was lighter
than usual, often lacking; sleet dam
aged fields bare of snow; consider
able grain on lowlands was DESTROYED
by flooding, and the injuring from
freezing and thawing was greater
than usual. The southern part OF
Ohio, Indiana ,and Illinois and por-
tons of Missouri were worst affect
ed. The relatively best sections are
the most Eastern and far Western
States. The season is late and the
real extent of damage is problematical
in the northern portion of the belt.

NEW MINISTER WAS
WARMLY WELCOMED

Two large audiences greeted the
Rev. r. L. Wright, new pastor of the
First NJ. E. church. Sunday, who was
recently sent here by the Baltimore
conference. The Rev. Wright arriv-
ed in the city Saturday evening, and
during his stay was the guest of Mr..
and Mrs. George Appleby. of Win
chester avenue.
The Rev. Wright was met at the de
pot Saturday evening by a delegation
rom the church and welcomed to his
new charge The Rev. G. c. Smith
pastor of the First Baptist church
vas a member of the delegation, and
also welcomed the new minister to
the city.
The new pastor stated he did not
know just when re would occupy the
parsonage, perhaps not before two
weeks, as he had portion of his eff
fects on the Eastern. Shore, and ii
would require some time to get them
collected before he could come here
permanently. 1t may be he will not
be present next Sunday, and should
he fail he would sent minister from
Baltimore, but he will be here for the
Easter service.
In his sermons Sunday the Rev
Wright plainly demonstrated that he
Is a minister of more than ordinary
ability. His discourses were lucid
and convincing and the presentations
lf his subjects plain and easily under
stood. Both services were largely at
tended not only by members of the
church but members of other
churches. The World joins the church
and its friends in welcoming the new
minister to the city.
