the pace our Mary sets to nay: for now
she rides an air shod wheel, iti skirts

On Wednesday evening last, a stab

saloon which very nearly caused the
death of one of our most prominent cit
izens. . C '.
it appears that at fcliout I0:4b p. m.
Mr. Healey and M i'. Garrett., the lat

a game of cri hhage in the so loon when
Corporal [.loinor and Ityjvate Harris
mine in. Joiner and Harris had been
drinking hard till day and were in a
quarrelsome condition. They immed
iately began to inter"ere in the game
and when Mr. Healey objected they
called him several vile names and show
oil light. Mr. Healey at once jumped
to his feet only to lie attacked by Jo'n
er who made several pus-os with a raz
< r. The spectators at once interfered
and ejected the soldiers.
1'pnn examination Mr. Healey found
several cuts in his clothes and a gash
six inches longs cross his abdomen.

“l-.ng'land's greed for gold has instig
ated .Canada to make preposterous
claims to our A.aska territory. These
alleged claims are naterly untenable,
and about as jusiiliabla a> Kuglatid's

always strikes wherever gold is found.
'I'lc thirkers of the world know the
reason why.
“Kngland wants a port of entry on
Alaska soil for the reasons you mention
and for ulterior and more hidden pur
poses. 1 nder tlie guise of temproary
friendship slit* is now sei king to hypno
tize tlie wabbling Washington adminis

soil and under the American (lag? if
Kngland wants an entry to U*e Klon
dike let her build a railroad on her own
territory from Fort Simpson to Dawson
City. And she will if we maintain out
rights.
“Woe betide the Administration if it
gives an inch of out’territory to Great
Britain!
“The American people ars watching
Mr. McKinley and his pro-Knglish Sec
retary of State. They will not tolerate
nis sacrifice of American rights and
American soil in Alaska, and they are
opposed to help Great Britain in her
unholy war to subjugate South Africa.
