SAYS WAGES HAYE DROPPED DECIDEDLY
Old Flacer Mining Methods Being
Abandoned til Hydrnnlle Powtr
la iabstltnted aa a (
cral Hal. -
George Karll, formerly a government
stock examiner at the yards her and a
resident of Douglaa cotinty fbr twenty
years, returned yesterday from Alaska,
where he spent three and one-half years.
In speaking of conditions about Nome Mr.
Karll said that mining conditions were Im
proving and that the placer ground now
known of would hold 'out for at least twen-ty-flvs
years. The old-fashioned wsy of
working a placer claim, be said. Is being
abandoned and hydrsullo . power substi
tuted. "There is plenty of capital," said Air.
Karll, "to develop the recently, found
claims. Moat of the money for the Improve
ments In and around Nome comes from the
United States and Knglaad. The best min
ing Is found In deep plaoer claims and pays
much better than la plaoer mining along
creeks."
As for the food supply at Nome Mr, Karll
aid that thers was plenty of everything
and that prices were not exorbitant For
Instancy fresh meat can be purchased for
9 cents a pound, while bacon and ham sell
for from U to K cents a pound. A great
deal of the fresh and cured meat used at
Nome comes from South Omaha, while the
canned goods are sent there by Chicago
packers.
Mr. Karll oame down from Nome on the
Steamer Ohio.' This ship carried 800 pas
sengers and about $500,000 in gold belonging
to the passengers and the mining com
panies. The company which Mr. Karll has
an Interest In owns 4.600 acres of land on
Boulder creek, which Is a tributary to the
Btnook river. This property Is thirty miles
from Home, "While here this winter he will
purchase hydraulic! machinery to work the
claims fc Interested In.
As for Noma Mr. Karll said that In the
summer the population Is about SO.000, but
during the winter this dwindles to about
ISO. Meals, and good ones, too, can be
bought for M cents at Nome.
Poring the winter months the tempera
ure drops aa low aa 49 degrees below sero,
and In tke summer, along the creeks, with
the thermometer exposed to the sun, the
temperature sometimes reaches 100.
From November is to about January 15
daylight cornea at 10 :S0 a. m. and ends at
1:80 o'clock In the afternoon. The longest
days are from 1:80 a. ra. to 11 p. m., when
the sun shines constantly.
Plaoer mines can be worked only about
(our months in the rear.
Wages," said Mr. Karll, 'are falling.
"When I first went there men were paid $15
I. A day. Now men can be hired for as low
j as IS a day and board."
In speaking particularly of. Nome Mr.
Karll remarked that there were about
thirty, saloons In the city, which Is now In
t4Mrporated. No gambling Is allowed, as
tinder the present lew gambling Is a felony.
! TVhea It was only oonaldared a misde
meanor floes were paid regularly and
I (ambling bouses were run In full blast.
Mr. Karll expects to take up his residence
t-ia South Omaha for the winter.
" Oem-aell Metlng Tonight.
At the meeting of the olty council, to be
held tonight the question of paving Bail
road avenue will be taken up. It Is the
intention of the council to fmah this mat-
ter through if some ,pf , the members, of
uVMt improvement clubs in that section of
, the city do not go into the '-courts and
I Secure restraining orders. '
Fir years there has been a demand for
the paving of this roadway and now that
there la an opportunity to do so, the coun
cil hopes that there will be no opposition.
Business men want the road paved and So
do the farmers who come to this market
with produoe. New maps have been made
showing the course of the road and while
the changes are only slight, some com
ment has been made. In order to make
an assessment for the tax the road must
run along the original survey and this has
been done. As the decision from the court
tn regard to the vacating of certain streets
will not be handed down until Wednesday
the council will not be in a position to act
oa this matter tonight

ents, and so far as possible consisting of
contiguous territory. From each of these
districts the general conference appoints
quadrennially one person to serve on the
general committee for a term of four
years. It is the duty of each of these rep
resentatives to study carefully the needs
of his own district, that hs may be able to
represent it fully and fairly to the commit

the appropriations are made. The board
Of managers sends annually an equal num
ber of representatives. The board repre

and missions at home and In the foreign
field are members of the general commit
tee, as are the corresponding secretary, the
first assistant corresponding secretary, the

recording secretary of the Missionary so
cietyin nil at this time fifty-two mem

month of November, and spends usually
one week In making appropriations for the
calendar year succeeding. Its sessions are
open to the public Me conference or a
mission at home or abroad, save those In
Africa, is called but that some bishop will
respond who has administered In said con
ference or mission within recent years.

Proprietress of Boarding Hons Hiitakea
Whiik Drummer for Bishop.
OLD YETS RESENT TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR
Other Yarns JSpmm by the Traveling
Uentry at Lei are ' Moments
Spent In Loral Hotel
Lobbies.
One of the Ohio colony of Omaha drum
mers at the Merchants told of a Methodist
conference being held In the Buckeye capi
tal a few years sgo.
"The city was crowded with divines and
many of them were entertained at private
houses. One enterprising proprietress of a
boarding house agreed to entertain two of
the preachers at a reduced rate. Just about
dinner time a reverend looking 'old fellow
came into the boarding house and stated
that he had been sent there on account
of the crowded condition of the hotels by
a friend who highly recommended her
table. Mrs. Patterson at once made up her
mind that her visitor was nothing less than
a bishop and was highly elated at the dis
tinction. As the rest of the boarders as
sembled about the table she cautioned all
of them to defer eating until the bishop
had asked the blessing. The new guest was
given the seat of honor at the lower end
of the table and Mrs. Patterson sat herslf
In dignified state at the opposite end of the
table.
" "Will you please say grace?" she asked
of the distinguished guest
"He didn't catch her meaning and put his
hand to his ear and asked her to repeat
what she said.
" 'Bishop, will you plesse say grace, I
mean ask the blessing.'
" "Madame, you will have to speak loudor
than that for I am so d d deaf I can't hear
you that far and I didn't think I'd have
any use for my ear trumpet here.'
"Mrs. Patterson was aghast with mortifi
cation and went down to the guest's seat
and repeated her request.
" 'Lord, Almighty, woman, I halnt no
bishop. I'm a Chllllcothe whisky sales
man.' t
"The dinner passed off without ths bless
ing." "There was a reunion of old war veter
ans In Illinois some years ago." said Jim
John's, a Decatur traveler, "and the editor
of the local paper wanted to say something
nice about the old boys, so he wrote a very
elaborate editorial, referring to them as
"battle-scarred heroes.' When the article
appeared the Item read battle 'scared'
heroes. Seeing his blunder the editor made
profuse apologies the next day and laid the
blunder to a typographical error. But again
the item came out referring to the old
boys as "bottle scarred heroes." And they
simply went after that editor and demol
ished his printing outfit without giving him
a chance to make another chance at an
apology."
"There Is no question but that music,
especially the violin or flute, exercises some
peculiar fascination over dumb animals and
reptiles," said M. A. Hunter, a St. Louis
salesman. "I remember of ft case In ques
tion that happened In St. Louis some years
ago and the story Is given on the authority
of a man who claims to have seen the who'e
performance. He lived directly across the
street from a fellow that thought he could
play the flute. One evening my friend was
listening to the fellow with the" flute and
debating in his own mind whether to go
over and kill him or commit suicide, when
he noticed a toad crawl out from1 under the
stone steps tn front of the flute player's
residence and look up at the Window very
sorrowfully. The fetlow kept on playing
and the toad hopped off up street and wss
gone several minutes. It finally returned
dragging a blacking box lid with It at
tached to a string and disappeared with It
down under the steps. The fellow kept on
playing the flute, when presently the toad
came out again dragging that blacking box
Ud and In It was his little fsmily of toads
and their store of dead flies. The poor toad
hopped along up the street with his load
and finally disappeared In the darknesa
No, the toad never came back."
The subject of the recent aurora borealls
was being discussed In the Murray hotel
lobby, en evening or two ago by a number
of traveling men. Ed. Hart of Kansas
City said that it recalled a similar phenom
enon observed in that city a few years
ago.
"A member of our firm had been, out
pretty late and upon returning home saw
a very brilliant display of the aurora
borealls and It scared htm somewhat.
When he reached home he called fqr his
wife to come down to the door.
" Tilly, do you see anything peculiar In
the sky off north there?' ,
" 'Why, yes.'
" 'Does it look kind "o ring-streaked and
rear
" 'Yes.'
" "And kind 'o shaky and trembly V
'"Yes. But why do you askt" .
" 'Oh, nothing. It's all right I'm glad
you see it. For I thought that maybe I
was drunk.' "

FATHER WAITS FOR ADVICE
E. W. Coffin Will Not Come for
Daughter Vntil Joseph Crow
Summons Him.
His
E. W. Coffin of. East Orange. N. J.
father of Miss Clara Coffin, who mysteri
ously disappeared from her home Tuesday,
will not come to Omaha until he is sum
moned by Postmaster. Joseph Crow, a rela
tive, with whom the girl is stopping.
"I telegraphed Mr.. Coffin not to come on
at this time, as Miss Coffin is still In a
critical condition and not able to make the
long trip back to her home," said Mr. Crow
yesterday. "I have received an answer to
that telegram from Mr. Coffin, which In
forms me that he will wait until I summon
him to come."
Referring to the story told by Miss Coffin
and published in The Bee that she was
hypnotized and lured west, Mr. Crow said:
"Miss Coffin sticks tenaciously to that
story. She tells it the same each time."
Asked for his opinion of Miss Coffin's
story Mr. Crow replied:
"I see no reason, tp doubt her. , It Is true
there are conflicting statements, but they
do not come from Miss Coffin. I shall not be
satisfied that Clara Is, suffering from a mere
delusion until the matter is gone Into more
thoroughly." '

SEARCH FOR TRAIN ROBBERS

SPECIAL OFFICERS PATROL THE TRACK
See Nothing of Expected Robbers, bnt

a Man Who Acts 8ns
piclonsly. DE8 MOINES, la., Nov. 9. The Rock Is
land officials tonight sent out a special
bearing armed officials and bloodhounds to
Dexter, la.. In the hope of capturing a
gang of holdup men. The officers spent the
night In the woods along the right-of-way
between Earlham and Dexter, but had no
encounter with the robbers. A section man
walking ths track, however, shot at a man
whom he saw slouching along the right-of-way,
but the fellow disappeared In the tim
ber, running at full speed, despite the or
der to halt.
About ten days ago the general officers
n Chicago received a letter directing the
road to see that $1,000 was thrown oft No.
6, the Denver flyer, somewhere In Iowa
Saturday night.
Superintendent Sllfer came to Des Moines
and It was decided to make the appearance
of acceding to the demand of the holdup
men. But a special was made up at Coun
cil Bluffs to f611ow No. 6 about ten minutes
and It bore armed men and bloodhounds.
The engineer of No. 6 was given ths money
to throw from his engine at the given sig
nal, the explosion of three torpedoes under
his side of the machine. The torpedoes
were not exploded.
Today it was rumored, however, 'that
No. 5, preceding No. 6 a half an hour, had
exploded the torpedoes. This, or some other
information, resulted in reorganizing the
special force of officers who went out from
Des Moines to Dexter and then patrolled
the right-of-way between Earlham and
that town all night. Nothing developed,
however, and the men remained in the
timber watching in vain for the criminals.
The officers will not discuss the matter at
all. Superintendent Smalley said tonight
that he knew nothing of the matter. Offi
cials sdmltted the truth of the story that
specials had gone to Dexter and that the
right-of-way was being patrolled between
that town and Earlham.
No. a, which passed through here to the
east at 11:30, an hour and a half late, car
ried a large number of armed men on ths
locomotive and In the coach en, prepared for
an attempted holdup. When this train
failed to come n the expected torpedoes
last night the officials decided that the
letter received ten days ago was a hoax.
When the rumor got started that No. S had
exploded the torpedoes, the work of reor
ganizing the special force was rexumed.
Telegrams brought the owner of four
bloodhounds from Ford, la., and a number
of officials joined Chist Cuskey of the Rock
Island service on the special that left here
early in the evening.

For some time It has been known that
dandruff Is caused by a germ that digs up

sapping the vitality of the hulr at the root
causes falling hnlr, and, of course, finally
baldness. For' years there have been all
