Dawson, April 14.—The Appeal baa
aided to ite editorial staff Prof. W. K.
PiUpury, former solicitor of tha Re-
cordf.b and sinee solicitor for the Enfant*
Times and News. This is a fortunate
arrangement for the Appeal and not a
bad one for the Professor, as he greatly
preferred busineee in Dawson to any
other piece, to be with bis mother in her
old ego and ill health. The Professor
made a Sne soldier daring the war, an
able teacher and an excellent solicitor
since, and will make an editor that onr
city will be proud of. In fact, as a horse
trador would aay, "he work* well any
where.” He is a dutiful and affectionate
sou and brother, and I actually believe
be would make some nice lady a good
husband, provided she can catch him.

port as lo the seasons, seeing there is
enough fools at that business now, think

your advice.

There is a steel-roller in a South
Side steel works taken from' his

It must be remembered, however,

trious iron-workers in Pittsburg
who can scarcely earn enough to
enable them to keep soul and body
together.
