Basket Social Was Success
The basket social in the M. E. church
] parlors last evening was a decided sue-,
j cess. The literary part of the even-;
1 ing’s entertainment was introduced]
with a piano solo by Miss Gertrude
Wvbrant who was heartily encored.
Prof. G. \Y. Stevens of Oklahoma
was then introduced and spoke at
length on work and play. He said
that the people of Seward were pretty
good workers, but that they did not
seem to play enough, meaning by that
that they did not enter into their work
j with the same enjoyable spirit that
I characterizes their play, and that work
which one really and thoroughly en-1
joyes becomes play to the one engaged ,
in it, and he is thereby enabled tot
spend even eighteen hours out of the
twenty-four in his occupation without
wearing himself out.The professor also
spoke of the many interesting plants |
and animals as well as people that he
had found in Alaska. The literary part
of the program was concluded with a
select reading by C L. Griffin,
The pot of coffee was then hung in
the stove and the auction of baskets
opened up by Dr. D. H. Sleem. The
I first baskets were bid off at prices
ranging up to three dollars. After;
that the men began to open their pokes j
and the bidding became more lively j
and the price of single baskets ran up j
as high as eight dollars, the whole lot
of twenty-three baskets bringing about
! one hundred dollars.
Pop was there as usual, when any i
good work is to be done, and was
[ among the first to bid off a basket, but
i thinking he had someof Pond’s Extract
he took the basket as soon as he had
paid for it, and ran down the street, i
He didn't thoroughly understand the
i rules of the game.
The evening’s entertainment closed
: with a very pleasant social hour dur
ing which the contents of the baskets
were thoroughly investigated and en
joyed.

The Rings Were Found
Some days ago a lady living in Sew- j
ard missed her diamond rings, and j
after searching in vain through the
house for them she was induced, rather j
.
against her will, to report the matter;
to an officer of the law. This officer j
Look into custody a young man who |
had been at this lady’s home for the ;
purpose of doing some errands for her,
and lodged him in jail. Every effort
was made to induce the young man to i
confess that he had stolen the rings, j
but he with all apparent candor and |
honesty declared he knew nothing
about the rings. The property was
not found upon him, yet he was retain
ed in jail in accordance with orders
telegraphed from Valdez where the
grand jury was getting busy to solve
the mystery of a great diamond rob
bery.
Yesterday morning the lady who
had lost the rings moved a trunk which
had stood near the wall in her home,
and the missing rings were behind it.
This was the one place that had been
overlooked when diligent search had
been made through the house for the
missing diamonds. Forthwith the
young man was liberated from jail.
