Ten Billion Tons of Coal.

The Nenana coal field, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now under construction from Sew
ard to Fairbanks. Though the coal Of
this field is Ignite and hence Of low
grade, yet it has great value as a
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field is about sixty miles south Of Fair
banks. 1t is estimated by the United
States geological survey, department
Of the interior, that the Nenana field
contains some ten billion tons of lig-
mite. The Nenana coal field lies in
what is known as the BOnnifield re-
giOn, which also contains some gold
placers that have been mined in a small
way for the last ten years.

FIRE PANIC IS Prevented
BY COOL-HEADED RECTOR
Leads Congregation to Safety as
Church Is Entirely Destroyed
BY Fire.

Racine, Jan 8. - A $4,000 to $685.
900 fire loss resulted when the Beth
ania Danish Lutheran church was to-
tally destroyed by flames that broke
out in the boiler room. The Rev. K.
G. Bodholt was in the midst of his SER
mon when smoke began to come
through the floor. Owing to the pres
ence of mind of the rector there were
no injuries sustained by any of the
members of the congregation, there
being only about 200 present.
Shortly after the building had been
cleared of the congregation it became
a mass of flames.
Shortly before the burning of the
Bethania church there was a small
fire reported in the Baptist church,
located nearby. This fire started in
the boiler room, of an unknown orig
in, but was quickly extinguished.
The Rev. Mr.. BOdholt of the Beth
ania church said that to him the coin
cidence Of the fire in the two churches
was peculiar, but he declared he did
not believe them Of incendiary origin.

AGreaf Discovery
BY j. II. WATSON, N. d.


Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
a dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filed
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.
AS remedy for those easily recog-
nized symptoms of Inflammation caused
by uric acid as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, govt, it is simply wonder
full how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
Take glass of hot water before meals
and Anuric to flush the kidneys.
Step into any drug store and ask for
Anuric, many times more potent than
lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.
