to Rev. DR.. E. Ashley of Aber-
deem for the following account of
the recent death of +. j. Warner
who will be remembered as having
once been post-trader at Chey-

mission school (EpiscopaD at old
Fort Bennett. The article is from
the Anchorage (Alaska) Democrat.
Following the ar4icle we also
quote an item about recruiting for
Uucle Sans army in faraway
Alaska.
''E. j. Warner died at the Gov
ernment Hospital Thursday night
at 11-30, with DR.. Beeson in at
tendance as the result of second
brain hemorrhage, the first having
occurd at ten o'clock Wednesday
night in his home in the Lathrop
Apartments. At his bedside when
death overlook him were Mrs. E..
j. Warner, j. Victor Warner and
r. j. Warner Jr., his two sons.
ellis death was shock to his
many friends and business associ-
ates in the town. On Tuesday he
was about as usual, attending to
his busines. affairs and meeting his
friends, none of whom was even
aware that any physical trouble
existed. At ten o'clock Wednes-
day night he was in his home; and
apparently feeling in the best of
health, when he was suddenly rem
dered unconcious by a stroke of
parAl, SIS, brought ol - hea.os
rhage of the brain, and was at
once taken to the Government
Hospital, where he remained uD-
concious and unable to recognize
anyone, until the hand of death
snatched him from life.
'sMr. Warner comes of an old
military family of the Dakotas.
his father having been Colonel
in the United States army and
died as the result of wounds re-

as the Warner Homestead located
near Dakota City in the state of
Nebraska, on June Is, 1868 and
from his early youth engaged in
the business of real estate, in
which he was remarkably success
full. For twenty-one years he was
officially connected with the Indian
affairs of the Cheyenne River and
Rosebud Reservations and made
for himself an enviable reputation
as an executive during most trying
times and his advice was at all
times followed when any matter
was involved that related to the
question of Indian lands or the
ame:ioration of the tribal condi-
tions of the natives.
In 1915 he with Mrs. Warner
came to Alaska and after spending
a short time in Seward came to
Anchorage, where be entered into
the business life of the town with
an energy that merited bis coming
to the front ranks of his profes-
sion. He has bought and sold
more of Anchorage real estate
than perhaps any other single man
or real estate firm in the city. and
in the days when the price of pro-
perty was low be had the foresight
to purchase number of lots, that
since then have quadrupled their
value. Mr.. Warner is the owner
of valuable buildings in the town

EEL BART HANK"
OFFERS DETAILS.
Noted Circus Man with
Sells-FIoto Show De-
scribes Tanlac Aid.

st. Louis, Mo, April IS, 1917.
"El Bart Hank" as Hank W.
Wakefield is known throughout the
circusdom, is special agent for
Sells Floto circus and in all proba-
bility is one of the best known
showmen in the business. He lives

all his knocking about the country
finally came face to face with poor
health and after giving the cele
brated Tanlac trial had this to
say about the medicine:
II couldn't eat a thing without
lot of gas forming in my stom-
ach and my kidneys seemed out of
order all the time. Nothing SEEM
ed to digest properly. Severe
pains came in my back caused
from my kidneys.
After l started taking Tanlac l
began improving right away. Now
my stomach and kidneys seem to
be in the best condition. I'm
never bothered with gas in my
stomach, and the pains in my back
have disappeared.
"N1y wife tried it and she thinks
there is no other medicine like
Tanlac. She had indigestion and
nervousness She says Tanlac has
helped her wonderfully as both the
indigestion and nervousness have
completely vanished"
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is
especially beneficial for stomach,
liver and kidney trouble. catarrhal
complaints, nervousness, sleepless-
ness and the like.
Tanlac is now being specially in
troduced and explained in Jasper

The fact that a hall can not be
secured in Jasper this spring for
the senior class play emphasizes
the need of some sort of an audito
RUM or hall at the schoolhouse in
which public gatherings may be
held. AS it is now, if the state
school officials, or any other per-
sonage, visits Jasper and consents
to address the school, it is impos.
sible to get the pupils int o any one
room of the building. While the
school board is considering changes
and improvements in the building
this year let them keep this mat

Probably every rural newspaper
in the United States asks its read
ers at least once year not to send
in articles for publication without
signing them or letting the editor
know who the writer is-but a
good many people utterly disre-
gard this request. This office re-
ceives "writeups" OF funerals, we'd
dings, dinners, entertainments of
all kinds, and in some cases we
can not publish them at all, be-
cause we have no personal know
ledge of the event and we don t
know who the writer is. We must
have the name of the writer unless
we have personal knowledge of
the event, and in the latter case
we probably have an article writ

comes in.

stated that she had intended send
ing off for her wall paper, but see
ing the ad, decided to try McCune.
The result was that she bought a

The enterpriSing impresario of the

member of the audience who would en-
ter the lions cage. He made the in
vitation nightly, but no one seemed in
a hurry to accept it until one evening a
very sheepish looking individual rose
and shouted:
IF you, please, sir, 1 should like
that hundred dollars I"
The audience was horror stricken,
but the impresarlo replied, with a con-
temptuous and rather fncredulous
smile:
"Oh! So you want to go into the
lions cage, do you?"
Certainly" said the man, starting
to make his way from the audience.
Every well, then; come along. 1
will open the door for you and you can
walk in"
"Ah!" said the man, stepping for
