Seminary closed on Friday afternoon
| for the holiday vacation, and both
r, students and teachers left either on
the afternoon trains or on Saturday
| morning. Christmas spirit was
everywhere during the closing days,
, but it triumphcd Thursday evening
/ when the students, as a Christmas
/ gift to the community prese- ted an
| elaborate and beautifully staged la
geant of the first Christmas. The
Y. w. C.. A. girls, under the able Cir
ection Of Miss Jenness, have been
working untirirgly for three weeks
to make this pageant one of the fin
est productions ever given by the
school and they were wholly sue
cessful. Nothing was spa ed In la
hor or material for the robes OF all
the characters and the girls have
been sewing every afternoon during
a part of their recreation hours
With the customary efficiency OF
Miss Jennsss. all the robes were
completed and the last dress rehear-
sal neld the first OF the week so that
every costume could be pressed and
in perfect condition. Doubtless the
most striking robes were the three
imported ones, worn by the Three
Wise Men. One was q pure linen,
heavily embroidered from Palestine,
n second was OF Ara bian SILK, and a
third of cloth of gold from Persia.
The pageant was presented in
Sophia Bailey Memorial charel and
the setting had been most carefully
constructed to lend the dignity and
simplicity in harmony with the story.
The audience assembled a the dor
mitory and entered the chapel at
one time to the soft strains OF mus
ic. The only light was shed by large
candles in each window. The Holy
Family was grouped most effectively
so that the radiance from the man
ger illumined the face of Mary as
she gazed into the humble cradle:

MOONLIGHT WATER SOON

The Moonlight Water Company is experiencing considerable trouble in bringing that excellent beverage in tc town this Spring. It appears the delay is caused principally from the overflows last Winter at Bourbon Creek at the juncture of Dry Creek. The overflows broke the sectional " ood pipe which crosses the creeks just below the old brewery, the water having entered the pipe line and frozen solid. causing much dam age to the line and making it neces- ssry to thaw the ice in the pipes be- fore further headway can be made. It is expected, however, that it will he only few days before Nomeites will be able to enjoy this much sought beverage.

SIDE WALKS NEED REPAIRING

Numerous complaints were made by citizens this week in reference to the condition of sidewalks in diff erent parts of the city. It appears from the numerous persons inter- viewed that the city was expected to make improvements to side walks
 ill front of other peoples residents or business houses, this is not the case, as all property owners are subject to keep the side walks ill front of their property in good con dition at all times, and would in c;se of injury or accident, to pede- strains. be held responsible
 We regret that it becomes nee eSsapy for us to have to call atten- tion to property owners whose side walks are in a very dangerous con- dition, but there is no one place on the Main street which has been neg lected all week, we refer to the side walk in front of the Old Horseshoe Saloon, two ladies and several men and numerous children have narr- owly escaped injury this week from loose and broken boards flying up when stepped on. It is true the owner of this property is not at present in Nome but whoever has the property in charge should do something to make the place safe, at least for those who dc not wish to walk in the street
 We also wish to call attention to property owners that there will be between five and six hundred people landed in our town within a week from the steamer Victoria, who are not so well acquainted with the con- dition of the board sidewalks as the scurdoughs, and therefore, it would be well for all property owners to give their sidewalks the once over before the boat arrives.
