Look Out for Fire.

We are now passing through the NEST
dangerous season of the year for fires.
Everything is as dry as t,nder and the
high winds make It possible, should
fire break out, to sweep our little city off
the earth. Special care has been exer-
cised and special watchmen have been
engaged to patrol the streets at night to
prevent if possible, any such disaster.
Why would it not be a good thing TO
call meeting Of our citizens for the pur-
pose of making some provision for such
all emergency? We need fire extill-
guishers, hooks, ladders, axes and fire
buckets. Another thing most needed is
fire bell, so that in case Of fire at night
the citizens can be aroused without ha-
ing to go around and wake them up in
dividually. An incident Of this kind
occurred the morning that the residence
of Peter Scoggins was burned. Men ran
around trying to arouse different ones
but before help could be obtained the
house was burned to the ground. On
Monday last the Douglas City hotel
building caught fire from a stove pipe
running through the roof, and had it not
been that Mrs. Robert Birch discovered
it at once it is probable that disastrous
fire would have been the consequence.
Do not wait until our city has burned:
down, but do ,mething at once. can
ounce of prevention is worth a pound Of
cure

Billy Mcdonald, we'll known as good
hearted, whole sonled boy, has opened
up the Comet saloon, in Juneau, and any
Of the Douglas boys who may happen to
be in that town can be as ured of good
treatment at his hands.
The next performance of the Douglas
dram tic club will be given on Dec. II,
at which time will be presented the beau
tiful border drama, "My Pard." This
play had one of the largest runs of any
ever placed on the bo'rds, and the
people of Douglas may expect treat
when it is produced.

Miss B. M. Wilson, of Juneau, who
opened day and night school at that
place several weeks ago, has class of
eight pupils in Juneau and fourteen pu-
pills at Treadwell. This lady is deserv-
irg of great credit for the success she
has attained from her own perseverance.
It is possible that Miss Wilson will open
school in Douglas in a short time, and
no one who desires a finished English
education should fail to attend this
school.

ed by Hapziball, lady of c"lor-Wm. B.
Clark, and Ebony, gentleman of the
same dark hue-O S. Clark. These
gentlemen kept the a, dience in contlru-
Gus roars of laughter, and although in
the excitement Of the work the dialect
was very often missing, their unusually
good acting mo than made up for any
remisses in that line, a d they received
many ROUNDS of applau iii the course
of their work. The minor parts, Geo.
Cliff 'n-John Egan, Parson Swift-Om-
ell Patton, Bill Tory and policeman
Frank Calhoun, and the brde-mad-
Miss Elvina Anderson, were all we'll
taken, and the graceful appearance of
the hride-1naid, especially, made some
of the boys in the d;ence heave deep
sigh and wish that the ceremony we're
real and that they were the fortunate one
who was standing by her side.
Taken as whole the performance was
very we'll prese nted and but for one cir
cumstance would have been a decided
success; this attaches to all amateur per-
formers, and must be overcome before
tn, y can hope to attain success in any
marked degree. The performance on
Friday evening was marred by the par
Elephants not speaking loud enough, and
this def ct must be remedied if our 9TH
erwise talented club wish to succeed.
The dal &c given after the performance
was delightful affair, and about twenty
five couples enjoy ed themselves until
late-or rather early, hour. An elegant
supper was served at the Douglas City
Hotel.

Douglas Amateur Dramatic Club.

The production of the neat little drama
"Dolores, or, Back From the Dead,' by
the Douglas amateur dramatic club OH
Friday night last was, from all amateur
standpoint, we'll done, and the members
taking part in the play deserve much
praise for the very creditab1e manner in
which they handled the parts assigned to
them. The part of Dolores, the heroine,
as portrayed by Mrs. Rufus Johnson was
done full justice, and in some of the
scenes especially all unusually fine con-
ception of the part, together with the
ability to carry it out was displayed, adj
ding fresh laurels to that lady's already
fair reputation as an actress. Miss Liz
zie McKanna as Mrs. Mason, a farmers
wife, did some of the best acting of he
evening, and is deserving ola great deal
Of praise for good rendition of very
difficult part. Her Yankee dialect was
one of the strongest points in her play
ing. Miss Margaret Frasier as the de-
serted wife, was very natronly and re-
signed, ard carried her part through in
a creditable manner, while Mrs. Omer
Patton, AS her daughter and the wronged
wife Of the villain, was decided success,
and especially i'll the scene where she de-
fies the villain very pretty piece Of act
ing was presented. Dan Mckay as the
Old farmer looked his part to perfection,
and some of his acting was very good.
The parts of Herbert Mason and ROYAL
Meadows we're portrayed by j. l.. Pra-
Their and Rufus Johnson, and showed that
those gentlemen possessed a fair share of
histronic ability, though the verdict Of
the ladies ofthe audience was against Mr..
Johnson in that his love making was not
nearly arlorous enough to satisfy the or
binary woman. Chas. b. CLARK acted
the villain i'll good style, and deserves
great credit for the energetic manner in
hich the stage work was handled and
for SO gracefully carrying the double
burden of being one Of the chief actors
in the play and at the same time attend
ing to the duties ofstage manager, which
latter position is not an easy one, espec-
tally in an amateur performance. he

sents the highest type of Ameri-
can citizenship and by their elec-
ton insures a return OF prosperity
to the business interests of our
country and the restoration of
peace and liberty throughout the
land and to all the inhabitants
thereof. -
ave favor the extending Of aid

ing upon all good citizens, irrespec-
tive of party to join together In de-
termined effort to drive the present

state.
eve recommend to our legisla-

From n. Y. Mail and Express.

Gov. Stone, of Missouri, continues
to assure his fellow citizens that "Mr.
Bryan will surely carry the state of
the people to believe that his gold
New York. Mr.. Stone not only asks
brick is a genuine article, but he act
ualIy believes so himself.
Statistics show that London con-
tainS 244,000 young women who are
learning, or trying to learn, to play on
the piano. In view of this fact, the
statement that London is full of
Americans eager to get home needs no
explanation.
The slump in Vermont is Satisfac-
torily explained by the fact that
while the vote was being taken on
| Tuesday the real Democracy of the
Green Mountain state was on its way
| to the national convention ut India
napOlis.
Honestly, we are worried about
| Maine. That is, we fear that she will
even refuse to recognize the exist
ence of the POpocratic party, nOtwith-
standing the fact that one of her citi-
zens is on the Bryan ticket.
1t appears that the sole survivors
of the Vermont Democracy are Brad
| ley z. Smalley, who sailed for Eu-
rope last week, and Hon. f. J. Phelps
who voted the Republican ticket
The convention at indianapolis sus-
| tains the impression that the gentle
men who were read out of the Demo-
cratic party at Chicago took the
brains of the party out with them.
When the news from Vermont
reached Mr. Bryan late on Tuesday
| night he scOffed at it and went to
bed. In the vernacular of the man
ly art. lit put him to sleep"
Looking at the matter calmly and in
the light of existing conditions, we
should say that the Green Mountains
of Vermont had rudely tumbled over
on Mr. Bryan's boom.
An unusual number of fatal balloon
| accidents have occurred this season,
but the list will not be complete until
the Populist parachute hits the earth
in November
1t appears that Candidate Bryan is
gradually losing his temper. That is
n small matter, however, as cOmpar-
ed with what he is doomed to lose in
November.
Further inquiry leads to the con-
clusion that Mr.. Bryan's other name
is Demetrius, and that he is in the
silverware business for something
more than his health.
Weyler now proposes to sail in and
crash the Cuban revolution. We in
fer form this that it refused to stay
crushed the last time he did the trick.
1t is already evident that the next
consignment of trouble to Mr.. Bry-
ans campaign managers will bear an
Indianapolis freight bill.
As goes Vermont, so goes the union,
except a little more so.
Vermont, it may be Observed,spea
the language of the union with great
fuency. Here's hoping that Maine
may acquire an equal accomplish
ments under the tutelage of her elder
sister.
The dinner of cold baked meats at
WOlfertS ROOst constitutes Senator
HIS sole contribution to the Bryan
campaign up to the present time. The
senator may yet receive an official in
timation that it takes something more
than a free lunch to carry on n presi-
dental canvass.
