Mrs Parsons, who acta In the capa
city of Maitrc do Hotel at the Port
Safety Iioadhouse, arrived In town
yesterday piloted by Leonard Seppala
and will spend a few days in the city.
Petty thieving is said to be rife In
the community at present. The
thieves, in most eases called to at
tention, have confined their depre
dations to abstracting sacks of coal
from the piles of unwary household
ers who have for one reason or an
other left their winter store of black
diamonds outside.
Leonard Seppala. who made a trip
to the east coast yesterday, with a big
string of Siberians, is reported to have
found the traveling excellent, the
trails being in fine shape at present.
Seppala is said to have speeded up a
bit on the return journey and made
the *J1 miles from Safety to Nome
with a passenger in his sled in the
excellent time of two hours and ten
minutes.

Humors of a new gold strike in the
Marshall district on What is known as
the Stueyhok river reaching hero ear
ly in October are verified by recent
hlcgrams from Marshall that good
prospects have been found in the des
ignated locality and .-Iso that quite a
stampede is on from Marshall and
other points along the lower Yukon
where the news of the strike has pen
etrated. The Stueyhok river, where
the strike is reported to have been
made, is located in a northeasterly
direction from Marshall at a distance
i.f about forty miles. Shortly before
the close of navigation there was a
considerable stampede from Marshall
and other points, but nothing further
was heard of the strike here until the
last few days. Information derived
from excellent Marshall sources says
that prospects have been found along
the river for a distance of about four
miles. The ground is apparently
shallow. One hole sunk to bedrock
attained a depth of ten feet and con
tained about two feet of pay gravel.
It is also mentioned that in one hole,
ten pans of dirt yielded $4.75 in dust
—an average of 471," cents. The ad-!
vices further state, that tue strike hns
depopulated Marshall.
Some unknown miscreant pried op
en the front door of the Milo restaur
ant sometime between half past two
and six a. m. Tuesday morning and
robbed the cash register of all the
silver it contained, amounting to
about thirty dollars. In addition to
relieving the cash register, the thief

also helped himself to one can of sar
dines before making his escape. John
Lepri, cne of the proprietors, remain
ed on watch until close to 3:80 in tho
morning before retiring to his room
on the upper floor of the same build
ing. where his partner, Nick Nicon,
also resides. The wir-d was blowing
hard at the time and, Lepri Bays
neither he or his business associate
hear*! a sound from below during the
night. The storm door fronting the
entrance provided shelter from obser
vation for the burglar while he pried
open the front door, apparently with
a knife or hatchet. The proprietor’s
say that the thief was either a cow
ard or nn amatuer, as he left forty
dollars in gold In the register, appar
ently overlooking it in his haste to
get away. Lepri says he should re-j
turn and get the remainder of the
money as he does not think much of
a man who half finishes his job. Noj
trace of the culprit has been found. '
It is earnestly requested by Mr.
Shank that all persons who have aig-!
nificd their intention of attending thej
Citizenship Night School, will bcj
present next Thursday. P. at 4j
o’clock, that the Court may make thej
order for said school. All who wish
to attend this school without cost to
themselves are earnestly requested to
meet at the school house at the timd’
designated above.
That space will be reserved for a
display from the Nome section in the
projected Territorial museum and lib
rary in a public building in the Ter
ritorial capitol. is the substance of a
telegram from Governor Higgs reach
ing Dr. D. S. Neuman. The message,
which is dated at Juneau February
3. informs the local physician that
plans arc being made for a library and
Museum in a public building at Jun
eau and requests information regard
ing the amount of floor space that
will be needed. Friends of the gov
ernor say he was much interested in
the plan of establishing a public mus
eum representative of the territory at
the time of his visit here last summer.
The message indicates that matters
have now reached the point that de
finite arrangements are under way.
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce and others interested in this
section say a fine display of minerals
and other products of this part of the
territory can be collected without
great difficulty and also express the
view that full i>ains should be taken
to have the exhibit as representative
of the industries and activities of the
peninsula as possible owing to the
prospect that it may do the district
much good in an advertising way.
United States Commissioner Wm.
Marx, of the Port Clarence precinct,
arrived in town from his official
headquarters at Teller yesterday in
company with Christ Gudmundsun.j
who recently went up the coast from
Nome. Judge Marx is on a business
trip and will remain In the city for
several days. He reports that condi
tions in Teller have again resumed
the normal status and there is nOj
present sign of the epidemic. Terri-j
fie storms, accompanied by unusually!
low temperatures have been raging in
the Port Clarence region for weeks.
Judge Marx says, and there has been
little communication between Teller
and Wales. Messrs Sam Toricleson
and McArthur, who were the last per
sons to come to Teller from the Cape
section, had been unable to return up
to the time Judge Marx departed for
Nome, owing to the danger of frees*
ing their dogs. The two mushers en
countered an extremely hard trip on
their way down and eleven days wens
consumed in making the sixty mile
trip to Teller. The wind has blown al
most continuously for about 3 week"
and the temperature has rapged ar
ound forty below sero during practic
ally the entire period. lodge Marx

According to an announcement mads
by Acting Assistant Territorial
Health Offleer Dr. Henman netertay,
| the long delayed mails to and from
Ahe States will commence to move on
the 10th. instant. In the view of the
Health Commissioner, the epidemic
conditions are now such as to war
rant .the view that the observance of
proper care by the mail carriers at
the points where those from the in
fected district meet carriers from the
uninfected, areas, will permit the
movement of mails with little danger
of a further spread of the infection.
There will be no abatement of the
quarantine regulations in other re
spects, however, and no promisee s or
unnecessary traveling between the in
fected and uninfected areas will be
permitted. The first class mail, in
coming, will leave Unalakleet on Feb
ruary 10th. and will bo brought
straight through to Nome. Arrange
ments have been made whereby the
entire accumulation will arrive at the
border of the infected section, all at
the same time. The consignment will
be picked up by local carriers a short
distance out of Golovin and will be
brought here in one shipment, instead
of in twice a week consignments, ns
is the case under the regular schedule.
The outgoing mail for the States, and
also the Council mail, will leave Nome
two days later, on February 12th. At
the point of exchange near Golovin,
the consignment will be picked up by
carriers from the uninfected section
and sent on Its Journey. The carriers
have been given expllct instructions
Ip avoid contact with those from the
uninfected zone and as long as they
observe the injunctions, the mail will
be permitted to move as speedily as
it arrives. Any violation of the in
structions, however, will result In a
speedy restoration of the quarantine.
Dr. Neuman calls attention to the fact
that the quarantine against traveling
will remain in full force, and effect
as at present. The ban against St.
Michael will also be removed on the
10th. and the mail from that point
will leave for Unalakleet on the same
date.
JAPS DEMAND LESS USE

TOKIO,—The Japan Temperance!
Society demands that no more rice be
used in the brewing of drinks during
the continuance of the war. This, the

further riots over the price of rice,
would save 18,000,000 bushels of rjco

Doctor Says Ordinary Nuxatcd Iron i
Will Make Nervous Rundown Peo
plo 100% Stronger in Two j
Week's Time in Many |
Co.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—"One glance'
Is enough to tell which people have,
Iron in their blood,” said Dr. E. Sauer,
a Boston physician who has studied
widely both In this country and
In Great European medical Institu
tions, in a recent discourse. They are
the ones that do and dare. The others
are In the weakling class. Sleepless
nights Bpent worrying over supposed
ailments, constant dosing with habit
forming drugs and narcotics for ner
vous weakness, stomach, liver or kid
ney disease and useless attempts to
brace up with strong coffee or other
stimulants are what keep them suffer
ing and vainly longing to bo strong.
! Their real trouble is lack of Iron in the
! blood. Without Iron the blood has no
power to change food into living tls
| sue and therefore, nothing you eat
does you any good; you den’t get the
strength out of It The moment iron
Is supplied the multitude cf danger
ous symptoms disappear. I have seen
dozens of nervous, rundown people
who are ailing all the time, double
and even triple their strength and en
durance and entirely get rid of every
sign of dyspepsia, liver and other
trouble In from ten to fourteen days'
time simply by taking Iron in the
proper form. And this, after they had
In some cases been doctoring for
month without any benefit.
If you are not strong or well you
owe it to yourself to make the follow
ing test: See how long you can work
or how far you can walk witheut be
coming tired. Next take^two five
grain tablets of ordinary nuxated Iron
three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength
again and see for yourself how much
yon have gained. There is nothing
like good old Iron to put color In your
cheeks and sound, healthy *ie»l. on
your bones. But you must take iron
In a form that can be easily absorbed
and assimilated like nuxated iron I
you want it to do you any good,
otherwise it may prove worse than
useless.
NOTK—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. K. Sauer, is one of the
newer organic iron compounds. Un.
like the older Inorganic Iron products,
it Is easily assimilated, does not In
jure the teeth, make them black, nor
upset the stomach; on the contrary. It
is a most potent remedy, in nearly
all forms of indigestion, s well as for
nervous, run-down conditions. The
Manufacturers have such great confi
dence in Nuxated Iron that they of
fer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable
institution If they cannot take any man
or woman under 60 who lacks Iron
and increase their strength 100 pej
cent or over in four weeks’ time pro
vided they have no serious organic
trouble. They also offer to refund
your money if it docs not at least
double your strength and endurance In
ten days’ time. It Is dispensed in this
city by Lomen Bros. (Successors to
Butler Mauro and Co.,) and Hill's
Pharmacy and all other druggists.
