Whi'e neither team can get the championship, It is thought the whole ooniest should be played out so that all the teams and all the Indivi dual players can oomplete their reoord. That the contest be completed is par ticularly desired by those who wish to arrange three men and Ave men teams to meet live teams from Juneau. The selectiooa for thN purpose can be made more easily when all the players shall have made a complete record In the tournament.

TESTED AND PROVEN Thar* Us H?ap of Solaca la Bftu AbU to Dapaad Upon a Wall Euud R?put?Uon For months Alaska readers have seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Fills, and read about the (rood work they have done in this locality. Not another remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit. J. W. Strong, a retired veteran of 506 Ohio Street, Bellingham, Wash., says: "Up to three years ago I . ad never suffered any form of kidney complaint. About that time 1 moved u,j the Columbia river to Whatcom Lake and three months after locating there I bega'i to notice symptoms of kidney trouble. The first was a dull aching pain across the back and which Anally got so bad tbat I was unable to get out of the house at all. Lhangea*of poaition were accompanied with severe twinge* of pain and the kidney secre tion* were (.'ark in color, and contained a heavy sediment and passiog was ac companied with pain. Lthink all this trouble waa brought on Djr drinking im pure water while living at Whatcom Lake. However true that may be I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, took them according to directions and was completely cured of my trouble. About a month ago 1 had a severe at tack of the grip and was afraid this would bring on the kidney trouble ! again but there has been no symptom j of a recurrence.

"Captain." said tbe major to one o( bin officers, "I uiu^ get a messag* through to Fort Wllaou, or it la only a question of time that this little gurri sou will be surrounded by Indians and starved out." "Who shall go, mujor? We have none but recruits who know no more about steering through Iutllans thau the nav igation of th-? air." "I.ook them over, select the best man you ean lind and send him to me." The captain departed and In half an hour returned with Stlefel, the post Butler. "Major," said the officer, "there's not a man at the post who will volunteer to take your message except Stlefel. He has one qualification? he has been an Indian trader and knows how to make himself understood by them." "Stlefel! Are we soldiers to rely for a hazardous duty on a citizen? a sut ler?" "I'm not going to fight 'em, major," said Stlefel. "I'll try to get through In a different way. I've tried my hand at a good many ways of making a living. I might as well try carrying messages." The major looked at tbe man in as tonishment. "You mean that you would risk almost certain death for money?" "I'll take your message for $100." When the major had recovered from bis surprise he agreed to pay the 1100 and signed a contract to that effect, lie further stated verbally that If Stle fel was successful the amount should be doubled and he should be given tbe most valuable post In the department wherein to sell his goods. The next morning the sutler started out to make a Journey of twenty miles, which he was confident he could ac complish before eveulng If not handi capped. Ills departure was watched by all at the fort, who wondered that he went by day and without any weap on except a walking stick. Stlefel told them that there were more ways than one of dolug things, and If he got through It would be by entirely differ ent means from tboae usually resorted to. The sutler walked for the first ten or fifteen miles through a wood, from which he emerged at the summit of a hill where he could plainly see Fort Wilson, with the stars and stripes float ing above It. He was congratulating himself that he would get through without trouble when be saw a party of Indiana at the foot of the hill look ing up at him. They had Just observed him and a moment later spurred their ponies toward him. Stlefel stood like a statue looking out on the plain, and as the Indians approached appeared not to observe them, though they were directly before and beneath him. When they came near he put his hands above his head and made a salaam to the sun, that at the time stood directly over the fort. The Indians paused, but soon advanced again. Stlefel stooped, picked up a couple of stonesaat his feet and rubbed them together, muttering the while. They burst into a flame. Agaiu the ludians paused, this time In wonder, and Stlefel could hear the Indian words for medicine man re [>eated from mouth to mouth. Some of them were turning as from a supernat ural being that might strike them down by enchantment, but one, evi dently their leader, called them back. Again they came on, and as Stiefel did did not make any movement in defense they did not even raise their weapons. Just before they reached him Stiefel drew a circle about him with his cane, from the end of which as it touched the ground came fire and smoke, which sputtered and fumed till the circle was complete. Then when lifted from the ground it was again but a stick Most of the Indians hid their faces on their ponies' necks; some started to flee; all showed evidence of terror. The chief alone maintained his ground. Then Stlefel began to make friendly signs to them, asking If they needed food. Without waiting for a reply he stepped up to one of the horsed and from bis belly drew forth a chicken, from another eggs and from a third a double handful of coffee lq the bean. While this increased the superstitious wonder of the Indiana, It caused them to look with more favor upon this won derful medicine man, the like of whom they had never seen. Stiefel gave them the eatables, then marched past tliem down the hill. It was not long, how ever, before he beard them coming. Turning, he saw the chief in advance, the rest lagging. Drawing his stick In a half circle before him, it spat lire as before, and the Indians stood still. Stlefel pointed to the chief contemptu ously and used the Indian words for chicken heart. Then advancing he thrust his hand under the chiefs arm and pulled out a heart which all could see was that of a chicken. Instantly the chief cowered, and the rest liegau to upbraid him. Stlefel turned aud walk ed slowly away. Once only again he beard them coming. Turulns, be toss ?tl a white ball the size of a boy's mar ble amon^ tbem. It exploded and scat tered tbem In every direction. Stlefel was not further molested and within :wo hours delivered his message. ? Soon after his arrival at the fort a ?wagon train loaded with provisions and escorted by a troop of cavalry started to relieve the Impoverished garrison Stlefel went with them and when be bad told his story received his reward. "Where did you learn to spit Are and all that sort of thing?" asked the major. "I was once assistant to a prestidigi tator," replied the sutler. "You've got the devil's nerve," the major observed. "You should be a sol dier.'' HENRY V. BI8SELL. A WOMAN'S REASON [Original.] There was enough of Incident con centrated In the wedding day of Dr. Dmitri Urbanleff and Katharine Toua kol, two young Russian? of the mid dle class, for a whole lifetime. Ur banleff had returned from his medical studies In Paris with a light heart, for Katharine watt expecting htm, and they fcrcre to be married soon after his Ar rival. - lie found domesticated In the home of Katharine's father Count Alejle vech, who bad some months previous appeared In the village near by and who had brought a letter of Introduc tion to Tonskol. For what he came and how long he proposed to stay he gave no Information. Dmitri, when he found the young man so Intimate with the family of his sweetheart, was trou bled, but he soon made the discover}' that Katharine did not like the count, and this reassured him. Why she did not fancy her father's guest was a puz zle, for the doctor could see plainly that the count seemed to desire her fa vor. When Dmitri asked ^ Katharine for a reason for her prejudice she gave him no better one than that Alexievecli was "cross eyed." Dmitri laughed at this feminine reason and thought no more about the matter. The morulng of the wedding day brought a shock to the community. A dozen persons In the vicinity were ar rested, and the most harrowing fea ture was that the young doctor, who was to have been married in the even ing, was among them. The prisoners Instead of being given n trial were hur ried off to Siberia. Count Alexlevech appeared to be as surprised and Indig nant as any one and volunteered to start at once for St. Petersburg, where he claimed to have Influence, to pro cure the doctor's release. Dmitri was earnest In his gratitude and begged the count to strain every nerve to free him before It should be too late. Kath arlne could only cling to her lover, de spairing of ever seeing him again. After her lover's departure she passed a few hours In an agony of despair. Then suddenly a desperate resolve tool; possession of her. She distrusted tin count's promise. Shortly previous to the wedding day he had left her fa ther's house and taken rooms In the village. Katharine ordered a drosky and drove to his rooms. Instead of sending for him to come down she ran upstairs and knocked at his door. She found him walking the floor. "Why are you not on the way to St. Petersburg?" she asked. "I was too late for- the 10 o'clock train. There Is no other till tomorrow." "There Is n train on the other road at 4 this afternoon. You have only to drive Ave miles to It to catch it" "Eh? Are you sure? I don't believe there Is time." "There Is time. Come. I have n drosky below. I will drive you my self." The count began to bnsy himself with preparation, making a great deal of fuss while doing very little. Hatha rlne saw his revolver lying on a table. "You will need this." she said, taking It up nnd thrusting It In a pocket of her dress. "Come, we have no time to spare." Alexlevech, cramming some brushes Into a bag, accompanied her downstairs. They got Into the drosky. Katharine seized the reius and drove away as fast as the horse would carry them. As they were passing through n wood Katharine complained that her fingers were numb and asked the count to take the reins. He had no soouei done so than he felt something hard pressed against his neck and heard tbf click of a pistol. "Fiend," said Katharine. "I know all. You are one of the chiefs of police anil have been ferreting out this plot. Yrtn have Implicated Dmitri to get him out of the way the better to get nit lntt> your clutches. 1 hate you, and 1 am going to kill you." "Katharine! For heaven's sake, of what are you accusing raeT' "Write an order for the release ol Dmitri or 1 Are." "But I have no authority." "Write." The count, who had by this timi caught a glance of the girl's despomti face, took out his notebook, tori- ou' a leaf, wrote the order and gave it tc her. "Drop the reins and get out of thi drosky," she said. He obeyed, ani Katharine, whipping up the horse, \va> soon out of sight She knew tliat the route the prison ere had taken was the one she was-on their eouductor Intending to take then on the train she hail proposed to th< count to take. She soon overtook tl.< party, produced the order, which w;; respeeted, her lover got into tli* dro..!;} and they drove homeward. When ap proaching the village they saw the count ahead of them. He v.-as wa!!;'i'; with his head bent down <>n his breast. When they came up to him he looked up as though In n dream. Dmitri got out of the drosky and demanded satis faction for the wrong that had been done him. The count looked at Kath arine with a hopeless expression, ask ed her to give Dmitri the revolve! and bared his breast. Dmitri turned away, got Into- the drosky and, without a word from blm or Katharine to the count, drove on. At the hour that had been announced for the wedding the bride and groom were ready, and, as the news of Dmi tri's release had spread like wildfire the guests were assembled. The cere mony passed as quietly as bad been expected. When the bride and groom were alone together Dmitri asked: "Katharine, how did you know thi man was the cause of my arrest?" "I didn't like the squint in his eyes/ wa# her confldent reply. BELLE C. WARREN. When In Haines Stop at the Hotel Northern J. G. Morrison. Prop.
