and Miles
(Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan)
Slieridan, Wyo., Oct. 31 ? Eight hundred Cheyennes
are one the warpath, marching to join the Utes who are in

position in the hills and have recounoitering parties outj

The whole of the Sixth and Tenth cavalry regiments
have been sent against the Indians, and are hurrying to the
scene. Upon learning that the Cheyeunes will join issues
with the Utes Col. Augur, of the Tenth cavalry, immediately
changed his plans and started a part of the Tenth from here
for Ashland to join the troops from Fort Keogh.
The Cheyennes are itching to fight and a battle' is

ICE PLENTIFUL
IN YUKON RIVER

today at Dawson and ice is flowing free- 1
ly at Fortvmile, Ogilvie, Stewart and |

Lower Labarge.
Au Awful Cough Cured
"Two years ago our little girl had a
touch of pneumonia, which left her
with an hwiul cough. She had spells
of coughing, just like one wfth the
whooping cough and soaie thought she
would not get well at all. We got a
bottle of Chamberlain's Caugh Remedy,
which acted like a charm. Sbe stopped
coughing and got stout and fat.', writes
Mrs. Ora Bussard, Brubaker, 111. This
remedy is for sale by Wrn. Britt.
ARE COMING
Big Crowd on Their Way to
Skagway
Whitchorse, Oct. 31? The Prospector
arrived from Dawson at 6:45 a. m. today
with 110 passengers. Nearly all the
passengers took the train for Skagway.
The Prospector will sail for Dawson
this evening at 5 o'clock.
The Quick was at Hootallnqua at 5
a. m. and will be due at midnight.
10 CELEBRATE
HALLOWEEN
As usual the people of Skagway will
tonight "baud their llailoween." The
imps will be out, of course, playing
their prHnks and causing those who
Itfve front gates, or back ones, signs,
etc., to have feelings of aprrension.
There will be fairies, also, probably, to
reveal the future and indulge in match
making and other pleasing tfjings, but
they will certainly not be so ubiquitous
as their uncanny anii unholy cousins of
the unknown.
The principal event tonight and the
one that will draw the people of Skag
way as a magnet will be the Halloween
party by the Ladies c-f the Maccabees,
which will take place in the hall of
that order. There will be dancing in
addition to all the features which tra
dition requires of a Halloween cele
bration.
Farewell for Horac? Hillary
A large number of the young friends
of Horace Hillery gave him a farewell
surprise parly at the residence of his
mother last night. They played games
and had a royal time. Refreshments
were served late in the evening. Mr.
Hillery will leave on the City of Seattle
this evening to enter the Presbyterian
theological school at Los Ange'.es,
where he will prepare himself for the
ministry.

rORY BUNCH BEGIN MRON
C4LE AND WASKEV
Would?Be Ruling Combine Starts Campaign
ot Misrepresentation, Slander and Mud
Throwing Against Representatives
The Juneau tories have begun their
fight against the Alaskan delegates,
and, of course, in their aid they have
invoked all manner of misrepresenta
tion ? they do not even stop at stating
for fact that which they know to be
false. The case as they make it (here
tofore they have confined their efforts
to private conversation except for [
some inuendo that has appeared in the ;
Ketchikan Journal) is Riven by the j
Juneau Record-Miner, which says:
'"Party lines have nothing to do with
Mr. Cale and myself. [Quoting Mr. Was- 1
kev] The people of Alaska cannot!
afford to be split up. Their interests j
are identical. Cale and I were not j
nominated by any parties.'
"The above grandiloquent, even bora- 1
bastic style mav deceive people around i
Seattle but not in this part of the coun- j
try. Waskey and Cale were elected by
the best organized cabal that ever ex- 1
isted in any country. There was plot,
intrigue and conspiracy aud the whole j
was the work of a briefless lawyer in i
Nome Waskey and Cale were selected j
as the tools of a gang who put up more j
than $4"), 000 to conduct the campaigo. i
Agents were sent to every section of j
the territory and men were hired and i
paid to get votes. These men were in j
Juneau, Ketchikan and all other towns |
and mining camps.
?'It is true, as Mr. Waskey says, he I
and Cale were not nominated by any ex- j
isting party; they were put in the field (
by a combine that was responsible to no
political organization and they were
elected by the votes of men who came
into the country with the season's rush,
a majority of whom have already de
parted for their homes in the states and
British provinces.
"It was not the pu-pose of the Re
cord-Miner to say anything in regard to
either Waskey or Cale but they have
misrepresented Alaska people and con
ditions. We need legislation at the
hands of honorable party men in Con
gress who have votes to give us, which
Mr. Waskey nnd Mr. Cale have not.
Had Mr. Waskey been elected by either
of the parties he might have accom
plished something in Congress. His
boast that he is free from political taint
is hardly in good taste when we consider
that he is obliged to go to one or both
of the parties which he [so iruch
despises, to ask for help.
'?Further on in Mr. Waskey's inter
view, he says home rule is what Alaska
will demand soon Mr. Waskey knows
as well as anybody that the men who
pay the taxes in Alaska are almost to a
man opposed to what he is pleased to
term 'home rule;' that is territorial
government. To pay the expense of
running a government of that kind in
Alaska would mean the confiscation of
the property of the territory. If this
is a part of the conspiracy inaugurated
by that saintly crew who put up the$4"v
000 to elect two men it is to be hoped
that Congress will be informed how the

Nothing to Fear
The question of injurious substanc'.s
in meilicines which has been agitating
