GIRL LOST
Chief of Polie Recedes In
quires for Vonug Larfy
In the last mail, C. T. Moore, chief of
police, received a communication from
Mrs. N. R. Johnson, who is anxiously
inquiring for the whereabouts of a
daughter, who is supposed to be in
Alaska.
Following is an extract of the letter:
"I would 'like to have your aid in
search of a young: lady, my daughter,
'whom 1 have had information of is
there, and I have heard was married.
'?Her maiden name was Nellie John
son, she is 24 years old.
"Since leaving we have mule our
houie at Oroville, Kutte couny, C'af.,
where her father recently died.
"Four sisters, two brothers and a
mother are anxiously waiting to hear
from her
WALK OUT
Longshoreman of Jnneau
HavH Struck
In an editorial of the Juneau Record
Mirer of the 27th appears the follow
ing:
"The longshoremen of Juneau have
"walked out," in emulation ot the ac
tion of iheir confreres on the Sound.''
"We have always believed in the
rights of workingmen of the country.
Organize-.! labor has been made neces
sary b* organized capital, and each
fore# has the p >wer to do the harm.
But there is such a thing as crimin
ality on the part of either capital or
labor, in their use of the "strike"
privilege. Let it b?> remembered that |
c-pitai must lead the way into most
neids of commercial success and ac
tivity. to create a demand for labor.
If we would remember the f?ct. capi
tal itself is in position to "strike" al
so The man with the money has a
right to withdraw it, acd this right is
coextensive with the right of the
laborer to demaod a reasonable wagr,
when his labor is demanded. The
strike privilege, if such it can be called,
should be exercised with discretion.
o strike for the fun of it, or because
someone else has walked out, is the
height of folly. All the loneshoreman
can do in Juneau is to create a pay-roll
for steamer crews and "extras." and
thus send the money they themselves
might keep in the community to out
siders. When org?ni/.ed labor asserts
that it will starve its families, tie rp its
business and traffic, and destroy pro
perty simply that someone belonging
to that class may "grind bis axe," it is
doing a thine which ultimately will re
flect on itself. We might as well look
the thing squar* ly in the face, and ad
mit that the "strike" is a bad thing for
the striker, except on rare instances.
A foul strike counts against you, boys:
just let the fellow throw wi d, and take
your base on balls "

How to Break up a Cold
It may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two day's time.
To dQ this however, prompt action is
necessary. The first symptoms of a
cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse
watery discharge from the uose, and a
thin, white coatine on the tongue.
When Cbambei Iain's cough remed y is
taken every nour on the first appear
of these sytnptons, it counteracts the
effect of the cold and restores the sys
tem to a healthy condition within a
day or two For sale by Win. Britt,

A Clock Mystery
[Original.]
After our marilage Lucy and I wenl
to live III a little bouse that had coaM
to me as heir-at-law from an uucle.
My uncle bad been In poor elrcum
stances, and at bis death every one was
surprised to find that he bad owned the
house In which he lived. I was very
glad to come Into possession of eveD
so poor a dwelling, for I had uo perma
nent lodgment for my family.
There was an old wheezy clock In the
lower hall whose strike was enongh to
wake the dead. During the first even
Ing of our occupancy of the house i
wound this clock, ard the tick that had
been enlivening the place for a hun
dred years prior to my uncle's death
went at It again. We were In bed by
half past 10 o'clock and were just get
ting to sleep when the striking hum
mer roused us. We counted eleven
strokes, and at midnight counted
twelve. Then the number fell off, but
when they were beginning to grow
again I got up, went downstairs, un
booked the striking weight and drop
ped It in the bottom of the clock case
Then we both went to sleep.
The bouse was an old one, and many
things in Us construction were worn
out, among them the cords to which
the sash weights were hung. One day
I.ucy told me that a cord at a sitting
room window was broken aud the sash
would not stay up when raised. I
found that the weight had faller down
where 1 could not reach It. Remem
bering the clock weight, I used it for
a sash weight.
! One night I reit Lucy gripping my
arui convulsively. I started up, and
slie whispered to me to listen. I
hoard the sound of sawlnjj and kncv
that burglars were cutting out a por
tion of the front door In order to put
in an arm and draw the bolts. I gol
up and went out on to the landing. Not
having a weapon In the house. I could
do nothing but wait or give an alarm.
There was 110 other house near, so 1
wailed. TIic sawing finished, ilie door
was opened, and I heard a step below.
There was a grating, which I recog
11 i zed as the opening of the clock door.
Then I heard a muttered oath, and the
burglar went out by the front door. 1
went downstairs, struck a light and
examined both the door and the clock
The clock weight was gone. I stop
ped the hole so that It would not be
noticed, lock ihI the door and went back
to lied and to report to Lucy what had
occurred.
There was no more sleep for us that
night, both from the fright and won
dering what in the world a burglui
wanted with a clock weight. We con
tlnued to wouder the next day and tlit
next, keeping up our suggestions as to
the cause of so singular a robbery, but
without assigning a cause that had in
it any probability.
The clock stood still for Svant of a
weight. Had I not beeu so poor that
I could not afford a watch 1 would
rather have had no record of time in
the house than have endured the tick
ing. As it was. remembering the
weight I had used in the window, I
took It out and, having bought a weight
to put in its place, hooked the striking
weight on to the cord that moved the
| hands
Our robbery of the clock weight was
well nigh forgotten when one night our
house was again entered by burglars.
After having once been robbed I had
provided myself with a revolver, and,
hearing a window pried open iu the
lower hall. I got up. went to the land
ing. looked down the staircase and
saw the dim outline of a man at the
clock. I fired, the man gave a howl
and made for an open window, by
which he had doubtless come In. He
Jumped out, and. going down. 1 light
ed a candle, by which I traced blood
to the window. 1 looked iu the clock
and nothing had been disturbed.
Curious to know why burglars were
so Interested In the clock, the next day
I hired a cloekmaker to come and take
It to pieces. We took the clock out of
the case, unscrewed every part but
nothing could we flud except an old
fashioned timepiece.
There was evidently a mystery about
the old wheezer. and I.ucy. who Is full
of fancy, declared that if it could speak
It would tell a horrible tale. The noise
It made was quite enough, but its sup
posed connection with crime was toe
much to be borue. I got a dealer in old
furniture to come and make me an
offer for It. He did so and surprised us
by an offer of a hundred dollacti. He
pronounced the clock of a genuine old
fashioned make which could no longer
be procured. This information render
ed it evident to me that the burglars
had tried to steal the only valuable
thing Iu the house. We declined the
offer.
In the garret was an old box of uu
cle's papers. One day I came home
and Lucy told me that she had been
through them all. She had discovered
an old check book. I examined it and
found that it showed a balance of $11
against which there was no check stub.
1 went to the bank and was surprised
to find that the balance was still to my
uncle's credit. Since I had paid his
funeral expenses. I was surprised.
One day when I went home Lucy
came flying toward me In a delirium
of excitement. She held up three sav
ings bank books, all showing in the ag
. gregate a balance of $70,000. I was
thunderstruck. She told ma that, need
tog something heavy to keep In place
some corned beef she was cooking, she
ha*< taken the weight out of the clock.
The heat had melted some wax, leav
ing a hole In the weight from which
she had drawn the bank books.
It thus came out that my uncle was
ft miser. Who It was that had his se
cret and tried to secure the books thai
contained a fortune is still a mystery.
