CORDOvA SAILS WITH LARGE
 PASSENGER LIST

The cargo steamer Cordova return and sailed for Seattle on her last trip of the year from this port on Friday afternoon. During her trip into the Arctic the Cordova discharged cargo at all of the more important points on KotZebue sound and also spent some time at Teller. On her way back to Nome the steamer picked up the last of the tin cleanups from the tin district and also brought down a con- siderable number of passengers, most of whom were bound for the Outside.
 On leaving for Seattle, the vessel carried large list of passengers the malls and a quantity of local cargo. The voyage will be nude by way Of several South coast points and the vessel will probably not reach Seattle much before the Victoria unless the latter vessel is delayed As a result of the heavy demand for passage created by the cutting off of the usual fifth trip of the Victoria. the Cordova's passenger accomodations were filled to their limits
 Following is the passenger list:

FORMER NOMEITE WRITES FROM
 SIBERIAN GOLD FIELDS

Gold, although found in spots in some localities is not so widely pre- yalent in the ohotsk section of Siberia as reports reaching here in earlier per- iods suggested. Furthermore most of the known gold bearing areas are practically worked o',t at present and the outlook for the prospector is not half as good as might b. expected from the repeated rumors. This is the judgement of Herman Queskev. widely known Nome miner and former op- orator of the famous Bowery claim on Dexter divide, who is at present in that section.
 Writing to Fred Mebes from the town of ONotsk under date of Aug. 3 Queskey says:

COMES HOME
AFTER 7 MONTHS

For a Long time Officer ]. E.
Buckley has had faithful dog that
has kept him company night after
night, week afte rweek, ninth after
month, and year after year. through
foul weather and fair, always faithful
to his master. Through dark alleys,
after suspicious characters, into a
warm room where there was a fire
the animal was always there.
About seven months ago when Mr..
Buckley left his home on Ninth ave-
nue. the. dog was gone. It was thought
he would surely be on hand soon but
did not come; weeks and months
passed, still he did not appear. He was
given up for dead and the family ex-
pected to see him no more. The other
morning when Mr. Buckley returned
home there was the dog. He could
not speak but wagged his tail in no
uncertain terms-he was delighted to
be back home again. He seemed to be
none the worse for his absence and
since he wears a chain Mr.. Buckley
is of the opinion that he has been
tied at some home. 1t would solve a
mystery if the dog could tell-but
his tail only wags.

HEALTH TALK
BY DR.. SADLER

The lecture of DR.. Sadler of Chi
cago, at the high school on Thursday
evening was we'll attended despite
lnclement weather. The speaker was
introduced by w. J. Tanghe who an
nounced in addition, that the last
number of the lecture course would
come on the evening of Easter Mon
day.
DR.. Sadler in opening remarked
that his lecture would take the form
Of the question, els the Integrity of
America Endangered by Present
Tendencies?" He proceeded to ex-
plain just what has been accomplish
ed by the medical profession in the
matter of controlling disease. Ty-
phoid fever and practically all germ
diseases are slowly yielding to the
power of medical discovery but with
present social conditions doctors are
fighting losing battle. He urged
stringent measures to control the ra-
pid increase of the feeble-mined
which are becoming a menace to
nc COuuCly.
Estates have put a premium on
mediocrity by offering unusual OPP
portunity to the child of limited abil-
ity," he declared. While this is
humane, normal children and those of
exceptional ability should have great
err opportunities offered for their de-
velopment."
Dr. Sadler stated that present day
scientists divide the white races of
the earth into three classes: the Nor
die or long heads with blond COM
plexions, the Mediterranean long
heads with dark complexion, and the
Alpine round heads. The racial
characteristics of these vary widely
all having contributed distinctive
qualities to the American character.
The doctor has a pleasing delivery
and intersperses his talk with stories
which APPLY illustrate his points. The
lecture is one that carries sincere
appeal to the thinking people of this
country

have not been in Baraboo for a
number of years, but wish to make
mention Of the fact that when I was
a small child. Mrs Ryan's influence
was one for the greatest good in the
Methodist church and Sunday school
No doubt others who attended the
primary at that time win remember
how we used to look forward to the
coming Of Mrs. Ryan and her Won
derful stories. She told us one story
about an old lady who kept such an
immaculate kitchen that one could see
his face in all the pans and tins. 1t
made such an impression upon me
that to this day it is one of my great
est desires to keep weIl-ordered,
shiny kitchen.
Her stories were always SO helpful
and told with such an abundance Of
good will and cheerfulness that she
was much loved by everyone.
No doubt in those later years she
has been shut out from active help
fulness as of yore, by her own feeble
ness, but in just tribute to Mrs. Ryan
wish to say that she was one of
the most helpful influences that en-.
tered into my childhood Wnen think
of fact that literally "shone with
goodness" I think of Mrs. Abbey Ryan

Student Soldier Denounces the Mil

Mrs. Paul w. Capener, 4Uo OaA
street contribute the following, the
article being taken from the Daliy
Cardinal at Madison.
I do not presume to speak TOT tne
/ 300 bonus students at the w. W.
but as long as YOU have expressed q
desire for a discussion of the question
of universal military training l can
give YOU the opinion of ONE bonus
student. w a&&
Sherman said WAR is hell and
we boys that served across the sea
agree perfectly with Sherman. BUT
YOU say, what does war" and nell
have TO do with universal OF COM
pulsory military training? Just ask
one of the dough-boys who never
got across, and If he tells you the
ruth he's got to admit that he too
got a sample of "hell." Just the
mere fact that men have been in
position where they were herded
like so many cattle is hell enough
for anybody. say away with your
"helP' unless you have war along
with it-away with you compulsory
military training in time OF peace!
We boys went across to ngnt
Prussianism, but I for one am just
as ready to fight P1nssianism over
here as I was over there Compul-
sorry military training is scheme
to Prussianize America It is the
same sort of plan that Bismarck
persuaded Germany to adopt, and it
is enforced by exactly the same
kind of arguments. Are the sup
posedly intelligent citizens of the
u. S. going to copy after the Prus-
slams, and we are indeed fools if we
know what happended to the Prus-
slams, and we are inded fools if we
go and tumble into the same pit.
There are other more or less minor
reasons-compare to the Prussian
argument-why universal military
training is desirable Il would
cost about one billion of dollars an
nually-an unnecessary financial
burden to lay upon the American
WAO o4O OIL CuuJ WCle7ACA AO"A
with a war debt of 80 billions 1t
would waste months of valuable
time of the men at a most important
stage in their lives. Also the senti-
ment Of the people as a whole-the
fathers and mothers-is against COM
;rulsory military training unless it
is absolutely essential to the safety of
the nation
What America needs is not COM
pulsory military training, but a.
strong, comprehensive program of
education, characterization and the
teaching of democracy. The carry
ing of arms, either by the individual
or by nations, depends upon the false
theory that might makes right. The
highest thought of the world knows
that eventually RIGHT, not might,
shall triumph. To that end let us
all line ourselves up according to that
principle. Instead of advocating a
preventive" which will more likely
lead to war, let us rather get behind
the League of Nations which is the
best antidote for war that has been
discovered up to the present time
