THURSDAY, MARCH 7.
Syracuse, N. Y.—An agreement
was reached today* between Pommy
Ryan and Cans for a finish tight at
Tonopah on Labor day, for a purse of
$30. 000.
San Francisco.—The Ruef trial i*
creating trouble of all kinds in legal
circles Judge Hibbart is threaten
ing to annihilate Prosecutor Heney
at sight, and Judge Dunn is trying to
disqualify the sheriff of this county
because he thinks that officer hasn't
been deligent enough in his searcl
for the missing grafter.
Chicago.—Thirty officials of inter
national trade councils are expecting
to unite shortly with President Com
pters, of the American Federation o
La’.tor, to consider ways an meat s
for the defense of the officials of tin
Western Federation of Labor who an
charged with complicity* in the mur
dor of ex-Gov. Steunenberg. They
claim that sufficient publicity has no
been given, to the decision of tin
supreme court refusing writs o
habeas corpus for the imprisonei
officials.
Seattle, Wash.— Motorman Macks;
who was injured in the street cat
wreck here Sunday, died today.
Rt. Rev. Innocent bishop of the
Greco-Russian church for the Pacific
Coast and Alaska, has been given
charge of all the churches of that de
nomination in North America, with
headquarters in N. Y.. and will leave
Sitka for that city in the very near
future.

That's what conies of a man med
dling with things that are none of his
business—getting up in the early
morning and starting the kitchen
tire, for instance. That's what Mr.
Fred Nowell, of Juneau, who is old
enough to know better, di the other
morning, and then stood around
waiting for things to warm up a hit
before calling his better half from
pleasant dreams to a setting of the
daily household routine in motion.
While thus complacently contempla
ting a morning, though no doubt
.innceustemed, task well accomplish
'd, there suddenly came a thunder
sound, and Mr. Nowell found himsell
in the midst of flying kitchen utensils,
.■luiuks of broken iron, crash o
c.-ockery and himself enveloped in
clouds of steam evolved from a costly
teel range that previously had been
mt was then no more. He had
succeeded in accomplishing a task
Jitlieult of accomplishment to tie
average man of family, not only, but
h id put the range completely out ol
•on.mission, narrowly escaping death,
a id the destruction cf his residence
by lire. It is safe to assert that Mr.
Now ell w ill build no more early morn
ingjires—not in that particular range,
at all events.
John I. White, a veteran residei t
of Alaska—having come to the dis
trict in 1872—was at last accounts
lying dangerously ill at Juneau. Mr.
White has been in nearly all the
mining camps of the interior, and
was one of the original argonauts who
passed over the divide into the Yu
kon country. He is a most genial,
entertaining old gentleman, of the
sterling stuff the hardly prospectors
and miners of the early days were
made of. It is sincerely to be hoped
that he may be spared to round out
in peace and quiet the full number of
years allotted to the life of man.
A new hospital is to he established
in the Kovukuk country, to be con
ducted under the auspicies of the
Episcopal church. Miss Carter, who
was for some time matron of the
Episcopal hospital at Fairbanks, will
have charge. Site is how in the
east, but will return bv the time
river navigation is fairly open.
For the best bread in Ketchikan,

Customs Collector Clarence L.
Hobart has gone to Washington, in
obedience to an order summoning him
there for conference with the higher
authorities on matters pertaining to
Alaska customs.

LOCAL CURIOS
—Trust to time ami perseverance.
Spare the rod- the “‘forty rod.”
The family of fools is of ancient
lineage.
Let your sorrows ar.d discontents
be secrets.
—Look carefully before, lest you
find yourself sadly behind.
—The favor of the rich and powerful
is at best but a poor inheritance.
—Prosperity gains and retains
friends; adversity tries and loses
them.
—Where is happiness always to be
found? Why, in almost any of the
standard dictionaries, to he sure.
—No matter how rich and fashion
able the apparel, he who is bare of
virtue is lacking in the raiment that
most adorns.
—Why are merchants and tradsmen
who do not advertise like shipwreck
ed mariners? Because they look in
vain from day to day and see no sale.
—The doctor set the bridge of his
nose alright, alright, put the neces
sary stitches in his cheek and upper
I ip and ornamented itis generally de
moralized countenance with strips and
patches of plaster half an inch thick,
and then the young man went home
declaring that “the fellow is an in
ernal liar, hut I'll never speak to
■aim again—on that or any other sub
! jt’et.
—He was peacefully, aye lovingly,
promenading with his best girl on
Mission street the other evening,
when he suddenly felt a kind of—a
sort of a—well, lie says it more
nearly resembled the shock a small
earthquake than anything else lie can
iiken it to—and then he picked him
self up on tlie other side of the
thoroughfare, and holding his coat
tail down to hide the rent in his un
mentionables, backed around the
nearest corner, leaving the girl to
settle the matter with the old man as
best site might.
—The Peasley boy lias long hanker
ed for a bull dog—one that would
chew up and spit out all the other
canities in this doggasted town—and
his longing wa i recently gratified by
the receipt of a battle-scarred animal
that had been sent to him by his
cousin from Seattle, or some other
wicked place on the Sound. The
Peasley heir was so delighted that
lie could scarcely take time to eat his
noon day lunch before starting out on
his long dreamed of and contemplated
campaign against all the other dogs
in town. He took care, however, to
first stuff the animal with all the raw
and bloody meat lie could hold, in
order to make him particularly fer
ocious, but when the twain—boy and
canine—came down town for a wonder
no dog of any size presented himself
as a candidate for annihilation, where
at young Peasley was vexed and
waxed exceeding wroth. However,
he curbed liis temper as best lie could,
and with a smile wholly childlike and
bland he and Grinder continued on
their way, tlie latter keeping a
weather eye out for tlie trouble the
warlike appearance and action of his
new master had seemingly led him
to anticipate. Indeed, young Peasley
had never before noticed such a
scarcity of dogs in town, and he was
well nigh provoked to tears on that
account when, in passing a store oi
which a furniture department forms a
not unimportant part, he was hailed by
one of the clerks thereof who asked
him to carry a pretty fair sized mir
ror to a house a short way out on Dock
street, which, there being no dogs in
sight, he consented to do. As the
easiest and safest way of carrying tlie
glass the clerk hung it on young
Peasley's back, by means of the cord
which he passed over his shoulders
and around his neck. As young
Peasley started out of the store, Grin
der discovered a ferocious looking
bulldog waltzing around behind liis
new owner as if he meant mischief,
and made a dash at him just as
Peasley took hold of the door latch,
and amid a shower of broken looking
glass, seized what he probably thought
to be another dog. It was alive, at
all events, and squirmed vigorously,
while young Peasley, with a howl, let
go tlie latch without waiting ,to open
the door, and the next minute a hoy,
a mirror frame, and a pugnacious
bulldog, were rolling about on the
iloo; in a promiscuous heap. Tlie
clerk came to the rescue with a ten
dollar chair, whaled away at the dog
and struck the tloor knocking all the
i ntrinsic value out of that necessary
article of household use and adorn
ment, leaving, however, one piece in
liis hand, with which lie succeeded in
knocking the dog loose from the boy
and mirror frame. In tlie melee they
had approached the rear end of the
store, where a number of other mir
rors sat upright on tlie floor leaning
against the wall. 'Grinder's blood was
fully aroused by this time, and as he
rushed around he caught sight of tlie
same dog, and a second mirror was
ruined. The other clerks, who by
tliis time had collected together started
to make a charge on the infuriated
dog, but fell back when the animal
made for his supposed enemy in
another mirror, which the first men
tioned clerk had picked up in the
vain hope of preserving it from
destruction. As Grinder sailed into
the frame, the aforesaid first mention
ed clerk made a furious kick at him,
missed the mark, and came down upon
a twenty dollar center table with an
emphasis that sent tlie fragments of
marble and walnut veneer scatter
ing in every direction. One of the
clerks ran for a gun in res]ionse to a
cry of “shoot him,” hut just then a
stout lady opened lie door, and Grin
der, seeing another and a teal dpg
passing on the sidewalk, went out
like a shot, knocking the underpinning
from under the stout lady, who sat
down rather suddenly and uncere
moniously on the door sill, sustaining
such a shock to the nervous system
hat she ha 1 to be assisted home.
Beasley came down town that evening
and paid the hill, at the same time
indulging in some remarks not at all
in consonance with the words in which
he had expressed his admiration of
the dog when he first came to town.
Young Peasley takes his meals alone
now, standing up to them like a little
man.
PENCIL AND SCISSORS.
William Richards, a member of
the Canadian mounted police, at
Dawson, rounded up and put a period
to a prof "acted drunk, the other day,
by blowing the top of his head off.
Referring to the fact that Ham
island is now producing marble, the
Douglas News suggests that we ought
to have a Marble island producing
hams, in order to even matters up a
little.
Wrangell has had a mid-winter
storm, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, which the Douglas News
thinks may be accepted as a harbinger
of spring. Well, one can't almost
always tell; it may prove to have
been either the forerunner of a sickly
season, or mayhap only a warning
to editor Snyder of the wrath to
come.
It’s there ye are Casey! James
Casey and Charles E. Howard, the
first named an old time Alaska mine
operator, have taken a bond on some
of the Chicagof island gold mining
locations, concerning which so much
favorable ^neutiou has been made dur
ing the past year, and will, it is said,
proceed at once to develop them for
all they may prove to be worth.
Nothing less is to be expected from
a man of Casey’s energy and enter
prise.
Fred Shearer, an employe in the
engine room of the Cottage City,
while that ship was at Haines re
cently, went with his father, who
resides at Skagway and was a south
bound passenger, to call on Mr. and
; Miss Grant. The young folks left
the two men to entertain each other,
went for a walk, and returned the
happy possessors of a marriage cer
tificate duly signed, sealed and deliv
ered by a local preacher, and, it is to
be hoped, will live happily forever
I hereafter.
White Pass stage line has sus
pended its regular tri-weekly schedule
for the remainder of the season, and
will run its stages only when business
requires them. However, two or
more stages will leave Whitehorse
the same day if necessary to accommo
date and expedite travel.
Frank Wallace, a substitute mail
carrier between Atlin and Log Cabin,

W. .T. Sully, the contractor and
manufacturing carpenter, has been
wrestling with La Grippe since last
; Monday. It will hardly be much con
solation to him to know that there are
plenty of others who are doing the
same thing—unless it be on the prin
ciple that “misery loves company.”
Our meats are all kept in cold
storage, which means that you get
nothing stale when you buy from
