ry a sheaf of letters and petitions in

It is positively staled that there is
no truth in the rumors going about
low n to ihe effect that Representative
elect Allan is going to the coast in
his new motor sled and will take
Harry Phillips as a passenger. The
sled ha 3 been tried out sufficiently to
show that the idea Is right but it
was brought in only to experiment
with. A larger one with a still more
powerful engine will bo built next
summer with improvements suggest
ed by the different tryouts of the pres
ent sled.
II is also denied authoritatively that
; Mr. Allan will take Mrs. Curling along

„cg team for the coast in the near
future.

S-'cotty Allan gave his whirring!

maximum. With two persons aboard
.la motor actually picked up up
.iradway on fhe ascent, lie also drove
about over the tundra where there
( was no trail and the 3led seemed toj
work better even than on the trail, i
ALout GO people watched the tests;
Saturday afternoon.
—
Information over the phone from
Taylor on Sunday was to the effect j
that natives in the Good Hope district j
about three weeks ago saw a white;
man staggering along. They did not [
ascertain who he was nor did two
white m^n who also saw him. It wa3;
suggested that it might possibly have j
oti.n Conrad Freeding who was lostI
on Thanksgiving day and that he may
have wandered over the divide and
found sustenance and shelter for a
time in some cabin. This i3 thought
hardly probable in view of the fact
that lie had bee lost about five weeks.
However, the clue, hopeless as it
seems, will be followed on the chance j
that it may have been Freeding. He
was a man of tremendous vitality and
would not give up to the elements
wilhout a terrific struggle, it U said
by those who knew him well.

MARDI GRAS FESTIVAL
A RIOT OF BEAUTY,
FUN AND HILARITY
•
An observer coming on a buttle ^
field after the armies had ceased their
fighting and seeing the ground strewn
with killed and wounded, dismantled ^
cannon, broken swords, dead and dy
ing horses, and all these in enormous
number, might well say that a great
battle had been fought there. And so
ny one surveying A. B. hall in the
:rol, gray down of Sunday morning
.Tuld have come to no other conclu
ion than that a great party had
tiiken place there. And such was in
deed the case. In fact some excellent
judges who have been in touch with
serial affairs in Nome since the be
ginning have declared that the Mardi
Uias on Saturday night was the fin
est thing of a similar nature evei
given heie. There have been larger
affairs, but none so pcrlect in ueut.i,
or more brilliant and colorful.
Maskers to the number of over two
huuured passed the careful scruiiii}
ot tiie sharp-eyed but courteous Cer
berus, and beheld a doubly fans
101 tiled social hall. Improvements hau
bien made on such an extensive scale
that it was virtually returbisheu
tluoughout. There were new portieres,
a new stage curtain, a complete re
pt'ning, and a new and pretty sys
tun of lights. All this is of a •penna
nt n» nature. For the Mardi Crus fes
tival the members of the brotherhoo.
had provided special decorations 01
ar> elaborate scale. Huge nationa,
■ aigs were swung from balcony with
o.uunitrs, balloons, and other orna
mentation in profusion. The stag
>vas set for a magnificent show.
Promptly at half atfer nine the flu
Nome orchestra struck into a sttrrin;
-wo step, and in five seconds forty o. !
Ally couples were circling the floo:
.1 began with a rush and gained in
swiftness of action, interest, beauty,
enthusiasm, and f"n with each suc
ceeding d i nee.
There was no monotony of -.ny sort
The committee had looked ahead tc
the very end and provided variety an
surprises which lasted to the close
The costumes alone were worthy ol
hours of study, and new characters ol
great Interest were constantly ap
pcaring on the floor. And group ol
enthusiasts appearedf in no Igbs tha
thiee different make-ups, all of whlcl
were good and added much to tht
general hlllarity, One very clever
Impersonation of & milkman, whose 1
| garments were of tin. nfterwanla ap
Ipcared as a ship-wrecked mariner.
Aiul so it went. An observer could
hardly take it all In. In fact nearly
all of two score who sat in the bal
cony as spectators remained there till
the very end, so engrossed were they
in the proceedings.
The committee had searched the
town for novelties with which to
amuse the revellers. They bought all
t».e balloons in town, all the confetti,
all the snake twirles, all the serpen
tine streamers, and all the toy horns
and they wanted other things they
could not get.
The ord'nary dunces were intespers
ed with specialties. There was the
b« autiful "A. B. dance" with “A. B."
in illumination on the stage with the
flag, pick, shovel, gold pan and altar;
the snoW dance when 3howers of con-,
fettl were sent from the balconies and
spiiukled from all directions; the ser
pentine streams were launched from
above and from all sides; the balloon
dance when every lady masquer was
distinguished by a red or green toy
olobe that bobbed as 3he glid.d along; t
the "noisy” dance when the little ■
aorns and snake twirlers almost
diowned the music from the orches
iia; and every now and then there
was a moonlight dance, or a number
ndcr the changing colors of the spot
light. Acfer a while the serpentine j
siicams and confetti became so thick
or the floor that 3lender, silk n rov- j
ered ankles often were almost buried
in the clinging tangle.
It is impossible to describe in detail'
even a portion of the beautiful, orig
inul, ami striking costumes worn.
Mephisto was there in a make-up a<>
pernci that it could not be excelled.
The "Laimond tom the riky" provideit
the. iueu lor lour characters, and
Maimauuke Smyihe, tjuubba, Luke,
ami Arthur Mtunley were present In
person Just us they are seen on the
screen every WnUussuay wad Thurs
day night. Two cosmopolitan "mem
at out town" dropped in alter tbe
opera, don’t Cher know, old chap, and
hud a devil of a tune themselves and
in tptu oiiiers to do the same.
The southeast coiner of the hall
was veiy popular during the entire
evening, ireie ihe ever polite Churley
until oui with even hand aqua pura
lemonade, or a wonderful concocied
champagne punch. There was noth
ing to eat and nobobdy wanted any
iiniig. There was no time to eat and
hurdl time to partake of liquid re
iivsiiuieiiis which were abundantly
suppled.
'The Mardi Gras lasted until half
prsi three In the morning and there
were few who did not stay to the fin
ish. Those in attendance say that the
A. B. club provided a perfect evening
of enjoyment and that as hosts they
arc without a superior. No expense
and no work was spared to make the
festival perfect. But the club mem
bers did not stap there. They were un
remitting in their efforts to help every
body to have a good time and It 13
certain from the comments heard yes
terday that they succeeded so far ns
wan humanly possible.
