Sullivan Marshal
of Third Division
"Sullivan is to be marshal of the
Third division” cables the Seattle cor
respondent in answer to a query from
the Valdez Prospector as to the assign
ment of the new Alaskan marshal. All
the earlier news dispatches stated that
Harvey Sullivan was an aspirant for
the marshalship at Fairbanks, but
when he was appointed the dispatch
* said "Third” division. Now the Third
division is to have its headquarters at
Valdez. The Fairbanks division is the
Fourth.
This may be the explanation. The
Fourth division will not come into
being until July 1. The bill provides
that the officers of the present Third
•hall be the officers of the Fourth un
less different assignments are mado by
the President. This would place Mar
shal Love at Fairbanks unless he
should "bo transferred to Valdez. It
> may bo considered by the attorney-gen
eral that at this time the only legal ap
pointment of a marshal that can be
made is for the Third division to take
effect July 1. After that the Presi
dent can dispose of the officials to suit
himself, or them.
ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE
Ernest Lindholm, the bookbinder,
formerly of Fairbanks, a late arrival in
Hot Springs, has acquired a fine lot on
the corner of South Third avenue and
McKnight street, and is now engaged
in erecting a residence thereon. Mr.
Lindholm in its construction is intro
ducing a style of architecture entirely
new to this city. Before the logs of
the structure are placed in position
they are entirely stripped of bark, and
instead of placing them in the usual
horizontal manner, Ernest reverses the
ordinary custom by standing them on
end in splendid array along the ground
timbers, and “stays” them firmly to a
top framework with long and robust
wire nails.
For originality this structure bids
fair to rival the architecture of the
old McKnight homestead, so long
pointed to with pride by the people of !
our hustling little city.
A job-lot of good serviceable shoes
just added to the stock of Dr. Carter’s j
store on Sullivan creek. Waterproof j
and rubber shoes of standard makes in |
-a'l sizes and styles. Prices right, too. i
Best line of shoes ever displayed in |
Hot Springs is now at Traeger’s.

WIFE SLEPT IN DOGHOUSE
Chicago, May 1.—Mrs. Gissela
Skwarek had the time of her life
recently. She startled Judge
Honore and his court attendants
by testifying in her suit for di*
i vorce that her husband John
Skwarek, had been so cruel to
her that she was compelled to
sleep in the doghouse. And
further than that, the dog had
some of the characteristics of his
master, for after she had taken
possession of his apartment the
ungallant brute tried to oust her.
The doghouse was in court for
exhibit purposes. The woman
won the jury’s heaits when she
said that for nine years of mar
ried life her husband had never
taken her out to a place of amuse
! ment or bought her even a rose.
She was given a decree, and then
the jury bought her a dozen
' American Beauties, and invited
her to take dinner with them.
They had music and an elaborate
! spread. Mrs. Skwarek’s happi
| ness was overpowering.
Louie Valier, the Hot Springs gar
I dener, has lately been making many
j improvements on his farm in the upper
; part of the city.
SATAN ATTENDED GHURGH
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 1.
—The Fishkill town authorities
are looking for the devil: If they
get him it may go hard with his
Satanic majesty. Recently as the
Methodists of Wickopee, a ham
let of the township, were holding
a prayer meeting Satan appeared
suddenly in their midst, so to
speak. He naturally wore horns
and a black mask and a long!
black cape from beneath which
hung a long black tail. He car
ried a pitchfork with which he;
thumped his way in most devil-j
ishly. "When, after the firstJ
shock, William Way sprang to
his feet to wrestle mightily with
Satan, the devil llew howling
into a snowstorm. The indignant!
worshippers say his appearance!
was only one of a series of jokes
played on the flock.
KILLS SON AND HERSELF
Rushville, Ind., May 1.—Mrs. Lou
Crist, of Chicago, killed her 14-year-old
son and herself at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. B. F. Riley, where they were vis
iting. Mrs. Riley being the mother’s
aunt. She tired three shots into her
son's temple, and then a fourth into the
roof of her mouth. Four letters found
show the deed had been carefully
planned. Mrs. Crist wrote that Mrs.
Riley was her only relative and she
had come to her home to enact the
tragedy, desiring to end her life near
those dearest to her. She deposited in
a bank $275 to be used for funeral ex
penses. Mrs. Crist had been melan
choly since the death of her brother,
Harry Summers, who was drowned in
San Francisco while duck hunting.
She was divorced from both a first and
a second husband, the latter a wealthy
business man of Chicago.
MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
Taking advantage of a temporary
lull in the freighting business, Sipp &
Dickinson have been improving the
time by getting out the necessary logs
for a commodious cache and sleeping
room at their South side corral. They
hauled the logs to the site early in the
week, and are now working like beav
ers to complete the structure by the
time navigation opens.

MY LADY’S LID
My scat!
Where did she get that hat?
Whoever did
Invent a lady’s lid
Like that?
Who had the nerve to roll it out
And stretch it more and more,
From center piece to rim, until
It spreads from shore to shore,
And likewise lifts its summit up
On birds’ and other wings,
Above the earth until it scrapes
The clouds and other things?
Who added to the wondrous width
Of brim, so that the space
Could easily accommodate
An automobile race?
Say, who done that?
Who built her hat?
Who made it something never seen
On earth or in the sky,
A Hat of wide extended plain,
A mountain towering high?
Cut wider doers for her to get
Inside of any place,
And put the ceiling on the roof
To givo her nodding space.
Push upon the ground,
And shove the wide horizon back
To let her turn around.
Oh, wierdiy, witching, .woozy hat
That flattens out and towers—
Who ever saw a thing like that—
A pancake piled with flowers?
A hat contagious—spreading? Yes.
That names the Merry Wid.;
And she who fails to catch it should
Slip out aaid change her lid.
Geo Whiz!
What a wonder woman is!
And my scat?
WThere did she get that hat?
New York World.
WORK RESUMED

Kemperville, has recently had 1000 $20
meal tickets printed at The Post shop,

sl-umber emporium.
Fine dress shoes for the good old
summer time in Traeger’s big stock.
If you can’t find what you want.at
