It is reported in letters reaching,

one of the stalwart young men com
posing Nome’s first contribution to
the National army forces, is very ill
with tuberculosis contracted follow
ing an attack of influenza while he
was stationed at <*amp Dodge, with
the remainder of the first Nome draft
contingent. According to the advices
the young man has been sent to Ari

health. When Bloomberg departed
from Nome he was a picture of health
and vigor, of stalwart frame and pos

In the opinion of Postmaster Walsh,
the first class mail arriving from the
states last Saturday will probably be
the last first class letter mail that will
reach Nome before tin opening of na
vigation. Mi. Walsh states that the
Saturday consignment contained let
ters dated as l it. as .March 17. which
is virtually about the latest date that
mail « an be dispatched for this sect
ion with a reasonable certainty of
reaehing its destination before the
spring breakup. The Saturday con
signment broke all exisiting records
for mail transmission from Nome to
Seattle over the winter routes, as it
arrived lu re in 39 days from the date
of dispatch. It will be appreciated
that this is a remarkable record when,
the difficulties of winter travel arc
taken into consideration. Mr. Walsh
has also received word that the mail,
will' ll departed from Norn- on Feb
run r> 26th. arrived at Seattle on April
20th.

known gold quartz miner of the Bluff
section, arrived in Nome Wednesday
evening on a business trip, Mrs Mee
gan reports that tlie quartz mine op
erated by the Meegan brothers has
been working in a small way during
tie winter period and a' considerable
amount of valuable ore has been ex

the only one of tin* three brothers who
is wintering in Alaska and has been
mining the lode with two or thrco
others who are interested in the prop
erty. The brothers have a mill in
stalled on the ground and are able to
handle a considerable quantity of ore.
The I ted Cross officials report that
there is a dearth of knitters at pres
ent and more are earnestly desired to
assist in the present labors of tho
chapter. The work of the chapter is
at present mainly devoted to providing
warm knitted outer garments for tho
homeless and destitute unfortunates
of Serbia and Belgium and morn
hands are urgently needed if Nome is
to do its full duty by the unfortunate
and afflicted, while they are rehabili
tating themselves and recovering from
the horrors and devastation thrust
upon them by the war. Mrs T.ehmann,
chairman of the knitting division,
urges every lady in Nome who can de
vote a little time to knitting to lend
her services in this worthy cause.
Materials will he supplied on applicat
ion to Indies who wish to demonstrate
their humanity and sympathy for the,
unfortunate in this manner.

Every Alaska Pioneer in the city
who was not obsessed with a painful
grouch or laid up in bed turned out to'
the delightful entertainment and
dance given by the women’s branch of
the Pioneers of Alaska to their breth
ren of the male Pioneer organization
and their families at Pioneer Tgloo
Wednesday evening. And as a result
they encountered one of the most en
joyable social events of the winter
season. The program provided by the
ladies was composed of a progressive
whist tourney, dancing and a delicious
luncheon embracing a wide variety of
dainties prepared by the most expert
of the numerous culinary artists of
the ladys pioneers organization. The
ladies also added a unique turn to tho
entertainment by introducing a num
ber of the most proficient public
speakers in tho city, who spoke on the
Victory J^an and other topics. The
fua lasted until the early hours of
Thursday morning.

The Miners Home Club wound up
its round of winter social festivities
with an enjoyable social dance and
card party at the club headquarters
on Fast Front Street last evening. The
usual progressive whist tourney form
ed the preliminary feature of the en
tertainment and was followed by dan
cing and a luncheon. In addition to
members <>f the organization, the
function was also attended by a num
ber of invited guests and the result
ant crowd filled the elub hall almost
to the limits of its capacity. Prizes
were distributed to the victors in tlie
whist contest as usual.
Mrs Buckholm carried off the first
prizo in the ladies division, with Mts
Barney (Ilbney second, Mr. Monroe
annexed the first men’s prize with Mr
Thorson second. Variety was added
to the entertainment by an address by
Chas. Rice, president of the club, and
Mr. Fred Harrison, the latter voicing
in able manner the need for subscrip
tions to the Victory Roan. The pro
gram lasted until 2 a. m. this morn
ing.
Through an unfortunate oversight
on tiie part of the member of the lodge
who reported the proceedings attend
ing the 100th. anniversary celebration
held by the local Odd Fellows lodge
Saturday night. the name of Miss
Clara Meilke was not included among
the number whose names were ment
ioned in connection with the program.
This oversight was especially unfor
tunate in view of the fact that Miss
Mpilke provided one of the most en
tertaining features of the program by
the redition of the French national
air. the Marseilles, in French. The
little miss is an accomplished French
scholar and reads and speaks tho
French language with a versatility
[known to but few. Her redition of
the famous French air with the as
sistance of Miss Bishop at the piano,
is pronounced one of the features of
the evening and well entitled her to
the enthusiastic appeal of the attend
ants for an encore, which was granted
in a most pleasing manner.

Don't worry and complain about a
bad back. Get rid of that pain and
lameness! Use Doan’s Kidney Pills
Many Nome people have used them
and know how effective they are.
Here’s a typical case.
Rupert, Larimer, painter, 811 E.
Grace Avc., Spokane Wash., says:
"most painters have some trouble
with their kidneys. I had always had
good, sound, healthy kidneys until a
year ago, when I did have a spell with
them. Every muscle in my back
ached and it was about all I could do
V) straighten up after I bent over. My
kidneys were weak and caused mo
considerable annoyance. A friend
working with me advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. After I had
taken one box, I felt like a different
man, for all the trouble had left.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Larimer had. Foster-Mllburn
