Buying Wives In Alaska.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Jan. 12.-
United States Marshal Orville T. Porter
Of the Alaska district has set several
communities in that territory by the
ears. The number of white men law
fully married to women of their own
race in Alaska is confined principally
to a handful of government officials
and naval men stationed there. Nearly
all the rest of the male population has
purchased native wives, their union
with whom is not recognized in law.
Nearly every Grand jury which con-
venes in Alaska is instructed from the
bench to inquire into this evil and in
dict all violations of the law. This
charge, however, is generally a dead
letter, as the average Alaska grand
juryman is averse to bringing in a true
bill against himself. Last night the
steamer Topeka, which arrived from
the North, brings information that
Marshal Porter has just instructed bis
several deputies throughout the tef.i-
tory to at once arrest every white man
violating this law, as result of which
official order. nearly every man on
board the United States steamer Pinta
is in Jail at Sitka. Hundreds of other
arrests are expected. The jails will not
be large enough to hold the leading
citizens who are amenable under
Marshal Porter's official order.

Our Travelling Men.

It is our privilege to know large
number Of the travelling men who make
the Twin Cities on their regular trips.
Among those best known by us is Mr..
VIM. PAeuger who travels for Chicago
drug firm. The Wisconsin Druggist 0
newspaper published at GAINESVILLE mad
q costly gold medal made for the most
popular travelling man in the druggist
trade, the choice to be made by the
druggists of the state voting their pre-
ferences. The vote was counted on
January first, and resulted in favor of
Mr.. Pfeuger. The above paper has
this to say about the contest:
"The contest as to Wisconsin's fav-
orite, as Virgins says, was q fine race,
the contestants coming in all in a bunch,
and shows that all our boys have their
friends. Out of the six hundred and
eighty-four votes cast, Billy Pfeuger
led by forty-thTee votes, closely fol-
lowed by Charley Yates and Otto
Kuehmsted, bat then Pfeuger always
was a good Splinter since his race at
Fond du Lac. 1t is seldom votes are so
evenly distributed. ". F., The gold is
on our desk waiting for you to come in
and claim it.
Williams many friends here are glad
to learn Of his success and will expect
him to show his medal on his return
trip. A good story viii accompany it
nicely.

AN ATTE .MPT AT SUICIDE.
Hiram Brf11t nail, OF Unity, While
Mentally Eeranged Attempts 10
End his Lie.

If the Winchester rife which Hiram
Brintnan, Of Unity, turned on himself,
last Saturday morning, had been a few
inches shorter between the muzzIe and
trigger, he would have succeeded in his
design to commit suicide. In reaching
for the trigger to fire the gun, the
muzzle Of which he had placed in his
mouth, he was obliged TO turn his head
to one side, and instead Of the ball
penetrating his brain and causing in
slant death, it most horribly mutilated
the left side Of his face, tearing from its
socket hiseye, completely tearing out
the cheek bone and fracturing the
frontal bone and leaving 4 terrible
wound to-hlafk the place Of cheek and
eye on the left side Of his face.
At about o'clock Saturday morning,
BrintnalI, who lives in the northwest
part Of the village, sent his wife to the
store to make some purchases and
hardly had she left the house when he
commenced the preparations to take
his life. He locked the house door,
procured his rife, went up stairs and
after locking the door leading to the
room on the upper floor. placed the
muzzel of the gun in his mouth and
fired the shot.
That Brintpsll was temporarily in
sane cannot be doubted He had a
morbid fear Of being sent to an insane
asylum, and ever since two years ago
when he underwent an examination to
test his sanity, he has acted strangely
at times, and perhaps, gaining some
mixing that he was again to be ex-
amined, constantly blooding upon this
idea, he was impelled to take his life.
Brintnall is about go years Of age and
is a pioneer of that part of Clark county,
settling in the town of Unity some %
years ago. About two years ago he
sold his farm and moved into the
village of Unity, where he has since
resided. He is quite Well-to-do. With
the exception Of giving slight evidences
of mild form of insanity at intervals,
there was nothing to warrant the sup
position that he would make an attempt
to end his life.
Il is doubtful if he survives. DR..
Clark, the attending surgeon, reports
his condition as ye1y serious, though
he is able to partake Of some nourish-
ment in liquid form. On Tuesday
morning some very slight hopes were
entertained for his ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Tribune.

NEGHT=WATCH.

We are glad to note the fact that the
present night-watch, Dir. Herman
Boetcher, is giving excellent satisfaction
and can always be found at his post of
duty. We are never out late but what
we always run across him some where
on his beat In talking with Mr.
Boetcher We learned tn 1T a large num-
Der Of the business men fail to pay any
amount towards his support. Every
man in business should contribute a
little towards his salary. The better
way would be to pay his salary cut Of
the city funds. While services are
directly beneficial to the business mems
interest they pay the largest proportion
of the taxes. st present the city pays
$50 per month and II IS hard to raise $50
more per month from all other meanE.
His services are well worth $50 per
month and he ought to receive it.

In the last issue Of the Stevens Point
Journal in the Plover items We noticed
the following correspondence:-It was
quite surprise to the people of our
quiet village, when it was learned that
wedding had taken place in our
midst last Monday, and that the con-
tracing parties were two well known
former residents, the groom being none
other than l. A. Walbridge a former
merchant Of this place, while the bride,
Mrs. Sarah Strope, was always a resi-
dent of PIoyer previous to her removal
to Stevens Point few years ago. The
marriage took place at the home of the
brides brother, S. D. Clark, Rev.
Webster Miller performing the cere-
mony. The many friends and acquain-
tances of the bride and groom in this
place unite with your correspondent in
wishing them much happiness and
prosperity in their new relation.
