Although the i Douglas club is depleted by the loss of several players, they found good sub I stitutes and took the tigers down the line from the start. Merryfield seemed to have toem at his mercy, and Belden in the catcher's box never missed a ! chance. The score was Douglas 11, Ju neau 8.. After the big boys got through, the kids went at it, a club from each town appearing on the diamond. The Juneau Juveniles captured 11 runs, but the Is , land Infants were sure of 19 all the time. ft The Council. The council meeting Monday night was full of interest. All members were present except Councilmen Ohman who is out of town. Mr. Boyd, chairman of the school board, Police Judge O'Connor, and Chief of Police McDonald were also in attendance. The finance committee reported that on August 12th, the City Treasurer had received from the clerk of the District Court the sum of 87,418.07, one-half of which had been placed to | the credit of the school fund. Police Judge O'Connor was author ized to purchase furniture for the municipal court. The sum of $3000, was loaned to the school fund out of the general fund of I the city, for the purpose of paying off school debts. This amount is to be re paid to the city with interest at 3 per cent, per annum. The council also guaranteed the school board funds sufficient to main tain the school for a term of six months, and if possible nine months. It i9, at present, the intention of the school board to open the school Oct. 1st. An animated discussion arose between the council and the school board as to the length of the term and the time of beginning, and Mr. Boyd explained that the action of the board in deferring the opening of the school to the date mentioned was because of the uncertain condition of the finances and the necessity of repairs at the j school house. The council then continued its sit ting as a Board of Equalization until a late hour and adjourned to Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. At the Tread well. On Sunday evening last, Thore Over : land and A. P. Anderson met death at the 440 level of the Tread well mine. A slab fell killing them both instantly. Overland was a native of Stavanger, j Norway, and was 3G years of age. An derson was a native of Sweden and was 43 years of age. The funeral services were held at the Congregational church in this city on Tuesday, August 18th, at 2 o'clock p. m., Rev. Thomas Coyle officiating. The i burial was at the Douglas Cemetery. A Card. To all so called sympathizing friends, ! who are so sorry that I lost so much money on the Corbett-Jeffries fight, I will state to relieve their minds in order to give themselves a rest, that I have lost no $800, neither $400 nor $200 not even $100. In fact I will buy a Sealskin Sack for any of these busj bodies to show me, where I even losl fifty dollars, "dow will you be good." T. A. Tdbbs, Treadwell. All for It. The demand for a full territorial gov ernment is going up from every section : of the North. People from all sections ! of the district are becoming more and more nearly unauimous on the subject daily. From the American Yukon, from : Nome, from Vaidez and from South western Alaska, the people are speak ing, and the voices are in harmony? they ask for self-government, which is becoming to be regarded as a panacea for all the ills which afllict the district. Just the other day Deputy Marshal Robinson of Eagle brought the word out from that country that Eagle, Cir cle, Rampart and other Yukon points are practically unanimous on the ques tion. There is nothing else talked. It ie the only remedy suggested in that section for intolerable conditions. P. H. Watt, assistant postmaster at Nome, says the only question agitating the people of Nome is as to whether Alaska should be one or two territories. That our laws should be made by Alas kaus is admitted by everybody. The heaviest mine owners at Nome are the strongest advocates of territorial gov ernment. Thay want intelligently made laws with an accessible law making power to make changes when found necessary. ^ 1? d Ciflrn id f VtOrQ i'TOm OUiy (/UUCUU UUU Ullnn AO vuv>v now heard the voice of the tory, and he is very much in the minority in those towns. Territorial government for Alaska is only a short distance in the future. That is just as surely as anything is sure which has not yet come to pass? Skagway Alaskan. MacDonald Buys.
