Hospital Dance
 Big Success

The White Pass hospital dance, on Saturday night was a great success, as all who were present will witness. Recognition is hereby given the local order E. P. o. Elks, No. 431, who very kindly donated the use of their hall for the occasion. Professor Sel- men and his orchestra dispensed pleasing music turnout the evnening for which We extend our hearty thanks.
 We are indebted to so many in connection with the dance that the mention of names seems needless, but we cannot refrain from mention ing Mrs. Carl Larson, and Mrs. G. Sipperedde and J. Griesbach in con- nection with the refreshments; the Misses Della Rapuzzi. Vivian Phelps and Vivian Talbot in connection with the sale of the tickets; Mess rs. Eric Teller and Cleon Ask in their excellent manner of taking charge of the floor at the dance. Neither would we forget the many ladies who furnished refreshments.
 Much was added to the occasion by tthe presence of Major Lambert, of Fort Seward, his officers and their wives, and the fine company of men from the fort. We trust they had an excellent time, and that they enjoyed themselves as much as we enjoyed having them come, and that We shall see them often.
 The money realized from the dance, over and above expenses, will be used on the Hospital grounds to beautify and add to their attractive ness. Flowers in the front and a gar den on the side will attest thru the summer the appreciation the Hospi- tai feels to all who assisted in the event.
 The Hospital staff is eagerly de- sirous that all the people of Skag- !

Baruch, who took large part in drafting the economic sections of the peace treaty, also suggests. with thel. q conditional cancellation of iutev-al- lied indebtedness.

He also proposes that the cancellation of in- debteduess might be made a means of levc,ing preferential tariff bar riers.

TELLS 0N THE KIDNEYS
Skagway People Have Found This
 To Be True

The strain of oyerwork tells on the weakened kidneys. The hurry and worry of business men, the heavy lifting and stopping of work men, the wOmens household cares, tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they can no longer fil- ter tae poison from the blood and the whole body suffers from the waste that accumuIates. Weakened kidneys need quick assistance. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for weakened kidneys; tired, worH-oUt backs-haye proven their merit in thousands of cases.

Allies experts always took five per cent. which would give 56,000,0 0,0OO,- 900 marks spread over forty-two years a present value of $21,000,- 10000.
 While in the circumstances it would come with bad grace from America to say what the Germans would pay or what the Allies should accept, one. could say that there can not be much doubt that, retaining Silesia and with all discriminatory restrictions removed from Germans and their trade, Germany could pay a present capital value of 12,000,- O0O.OO0. The real worth of this to the Allies would depend upon the final judgement of the investing world as to Germany's ability and willingness to meet that amount.
 There has been some discussion regarding the condition of cancel lation of Allied obligations to us. Doubtless those who have responsi- bility in the matter, in case it is seriously taken, will have in mind the amelioration or removal of dis criminatory and preferential tariffs against our trade. In case anything is done there might also be a diff ferentiation between the funds bor- rowed and spent in the maintenance of the population or in the con- tinuance of trade. If anything is done in reference to remission of that part of the obligations incurred for American-made munitions that part of the debt could be made sub ject to renewal in case America should become involved in another war"

Buckeye Planted by Ohioan UleX
 Society

At twelve-thirty on last Friday, April 15, tree was planted by the Society of the Ulex across the drive in front of the Van Warner Library, in commemoration of the 50th anni- versary of the University of Cincin- nati.
 The planting of the tree was pre- ceded by a parade of the Society through the hall of McNIicken and about the Commons The parade was headed by Edward Meyer and How ard Metzger, who bore the tree be- tween them. Other members of the Society followed in double column, marching with their unusual digni- ty despite the fact that some carried spades upon their shoulders. Stud ents in the Commons were not slow to fall in with the procession, but they took their place behind the ranks of the Ulex.
 The parade ended at the Library, where the Ulex members stood about the spot selected as the site, and the spectators grouped themselves along the roadway and upon the Library steps.
 After the impressive address deliv- cred by Herbert Leyland, the tree was planted in the ground.

A STATEMENT BY THE MAYOR

All reports of a daring hold-up or
any hold-up in Wildwood are false.
The propaganda started is by some
one who wants to discredit the Police
Department. The police are on the job
now more than they have been in ten
years. They are on the job day and
night, performing their duties, and
while we have not as many as we
should have, they are faithful in the
performance of their duty to protect
the inhabitants of this city.

It had been a cold winter and not
easy to keep comfortable in the little

keep the fire going. Late in January
a wind from the southeast melted the
snow and warmed the air of the mid

seemed as If spring were come. One
night of this week Sambo awoke the

They were a ~good-looking pair, the
young woman being almost white.
They were man and wife. The latter
stopped eating and moaned and shook
with emotion as her husband told
their story. Their master had died
the year before and they had been
brought to st. Louis to be sold in the
slave market. There they had es-
capped by night and gone to the house
of an old friend of their former owner
who lived north of the city on the
river shore. He had taken pity on
them and brought them across the
Mississippi and started them on the
north road with a letter to Elijah
Lovejoy of Alton and a supply Of food.
Since then they had been hiding days
in the swamps and thickets and had
travelled by night. Mr.. Lovejoy had
sent them to Erastus Wright Of
Springfield, and Mr.. Wright had given
them the name of Samson Traylor and
the location of his cabin. From there
they were bound for the house of John
Peasley, in Hopedale, Tazewell county.
Lovejoy had asked them to keep the
letter with which they had begun
their travels. The letter stated that
their late master had often expressed
his purpose of leaving them their free
dom when he should pass away. He
had left no will and since his death the
two had fallen into the hands of his
nephew, a despotic, violent young
drunkard Of the name of Biggs.
Samson was so moved by their story
that he hitched up his horses and put
some hay in the wagon box and made
off with the fugitives up the road to

The attack according to an an

Tbe flares are many times larger than

to have the condition Of the Alabama as
nearly like her actual condition for
action as possible. They wished the

this. as it involved an expense run

complete overhaul to fit her for sea and
the naval appropriations are cut to the
bone for the most necessary admins

fittings and machinery that may be
worth salvaging before she Is destroyed.
