Several complaints have been lodg- ]
ed in the Nugget office with reference]
to the fact that two dogs who are
alive with mange are allowed to run
loose in the city, thus spreading this
most contogeous of dise.oses among
the dogs of the town. One of these
is a bird dog whose owner lives on
Third avenue. She i'> literally cov
ered with this infeetio i and despite
the repeated requests of many resi
dents nothing has Decn done. The
poor animal is allowed to rustle and
scratch as best she can. It is not
justice to let dogs infected in this
manner to roam around the streets.
Soinethng should be done!

On Thursday night next at 9 a. in.
in the lecture room of the Federated
church Dr. Neuman will deliver a lec
ture on Health and Hygiene to the
Federated Boostei Boys of Nome. This
organization is composed of some
eighteen or twenty boys between the
ages of ten and fifteen years who
recognize as their superintndent Mr. i
K, B. Julian—who for years was a boy
scout master in Seattle
One week later Walter Shields will
give the boys a talk on “Books” and
a short time after that Judge J It.
Tucker will deliver a lecture on "Citi
zenship”
There is no question about it but
that this organization is one of merit.
However it should be strictly non-sec
tarian, when its membership would
considerably increase. It is for the
promotion of manliness among our
boys and does not interfere with their
religious principles In any way.
Henry Kern had a narrow escape
from serious injury—and probably
death—this noon when a high power
rifle bullet chine crashing through
the window of the Nome brewery and
struck theiron upright of a largesyphon
he had in front of him. Had the iron
stem of this machine not diverted the
bullet It would nave gone through his
body. Portion of the window glass
struck h'tm on the arm and caused a
; painful injury'.
Kern rushed from the brewery and
saw tw'o men over across Dry creek
wMh guns. They acknowledged they
had shot oft a rifle In the drection of
the brewery—shooting at a duck. The
bullet rlcochetted from the water with
the result above stated. The men ex
pressed their regrets and with profuse
npoligies departed.
This practice should bo discontin
ued and those who want to have a
little fun with fire arms should get
well outsdle of the city limits and
^ake care to fire In some direction
where there nre no dwelling houses.
There is a city ordinance which cov
ers this offence. It Is a mighty ex
pensive as well as highly dangerous
practice.
The most despised person In the

He has got a wife beater backed off

topics without signature. Two of
these have been handed into the of
fice of the Nugget. Perhaps the
writers nre not aware of the fact that
In all of the civltized countries of the
world the anonymous letter writer is
the most repugnant of all human be
ings! If there is anyhing to be said
and It Is worth saying—come out in
the open and say It. The scandal
monger is white compared to thp per
