No Jail for Dawson.

A few obscure citizens have
lately been attempting to create
a sentiment in favor of building
a Jail. The Midnight Sun is I'M
alterably opposed to any such
scheme for squandering the peo-
pies money. We have no more
need for Jail here than we have
for an artificial ice plant. Jails
are for old, decrepit communities
that have not the energy and
vigor to dish out justice on the
spot and to serve it hot.
Suppose we had had calaboose
to cage Syracuse Willie in last
night! He would probably have
been in there to-day, reveling in
idleness and luxury, and eating
canned salmon paid for out of the
public purse. Jails encourage
crime. They occupy valuable city
real estate. They have no place

in this higher civilization. Let
us keep out of this Jail scheme.
The HOSPITAL Fraud.

We are pleased to note that the
proposition to establish a city
hospital is meeting with no en-
couragement. There is positively
no need Of going to the expense
of maintaining such an institu-
ton. The project was doubtless
a campaign scheme worked up by
those who are opposed to Doc
Deadeasy. 1t was a direct refec-
ton upon the doctors superior
skill as a physician. So long as
we have this eminent specialist in
our midst, a public hospital would
be simply a prodigal waste of
money. Hospitals are all right
where there are cases of lingering
illness. Such cases are unknown
here. When people consult DR..
Deadeasy their suffering is short.

SALOON WAR.
Bitter Rivalry Between Two Business
Houses May Cause Trouble.

Houses May Cause Trouble.
+ After Bonanza Bills recent
trouble at the Dirty Dog saloon,
corner of Sapolio street and Chill
blain avenue, he became the
hacker of a rival establishment
on the opposite corner. The new
place was christened the "Soiled
Pup" and Bonanza Bill openly
avowed his intention of driving
the Dirty Dog out of business.
Syracuse Willie was lynched on
the Dirty Dog corner at an early
hour this morning, and the festiv-
tiles occasioned a great rush of
trade on that corner, much to the
chagrin of Bonanza Bill.
| While Syracuse Willie was at
tached to the lamp post, in a state
of great suspense, Bill appeared
before the vigilance committee
and complained of the Partially
of that body. He pointed out the
fact that he had an equally good
lamp post on his corner, and
urged that, in all fairness, the
committees victim should be al
lowed to hang on the Soiled Pup
corner, for an hour or so, thus
equalizing the trade of the even
ing.
This the committee declined to
do. Bill then resolved upon a
desperate plan of action. He con-
cluded to have lynching of his
own. One of his employees at the
Soiled Pup is a young Swede,
known as Useless Jansen. b.
nanza Bill secretly attached a
piece of meat to Jansen's coat tail
and sent him up the street on an
errand, in the hope that some
dog would follow the scent and
thus furnish an excuse for the i'm
mediate execution of the young
man. Bill reasoned that, as the
lamp post across the way was still
occupied by Syracuse Willie, the
vigilance committee would be
forced to conduct the Jansen
hanging on the Soiled Pup prem
Uses.
The plan was we'll contrived,
and might have succeeded, but
the intended victim CHANGED to
smell the meat and ate it himself
before any of our canine citizens
had time to get a sniff at it.

Only mass of charred and
blackened ruins now marks the
spot where stood the handsome
and costly two-story structure
known as the Eskimo Block, on
Bonanza Boulevard, between
Chilblain and Pneumonia AYES.
The entire first floor of this
building was occupied by Ashes
tos Abe's Mammoth Emporium.
Above this was a commodious
hall which had been leased to the
Northwestern Banking Company,
proprietors of the Prince Albert
Faro Bank. The bank fixtures
had just been put in, and the first
game was in progress when the
alarm of fire was sounded.
The fire was first discovered in
the basement of Asbestos Abe's
store, where the kerosene depart
ment was located. Officer
Drowsy, who was temporarily oc-
cupying a couch in the store, was
awakened at lao by the crack
ling of the fierce flames in the
basement beneath him. A hur-
ried investigation of the premises
convinced him that the place was
on fire, and he FASTENED to the
Sirloin Street station where he
made full written report of the
discovery. The chief of police
Immediately saw that the case
was one that should be referred
to Trouble johnson, chief of the
fire department. Two men were
at once started out to look for
Trouble, who was shortly found
at the Easy Street Theatre. Mr..
johnson quickly responded to the
alarm. Not waiting for the close
of the performance, he ran at full
speed to the headquarters of the
fire department on Arctic Square.
In less time than it takes to de-
scribe the operation. he had a
roaring fire built in the big fur
mace and was rapidly melting
huge blocks of ice to obtain the
necessary water with which to
fight the fire fiend.
The tank-sled stood in waiting
and it was soon completely filled
with pure cold water in liquid
form. The intelligent dogs
hitched to the tank seemed i'm.
bued with the Importance of
great haste, and stood yelping
their enthusiasm and straining at
the traces. When all was in
readiness, Mr.. johnson turned
them loose, and the Dawson fire
department went dashing down
Bonanza Boulevard to the scene
of the fire.
Meanwhile, the flames had
spread rapidly, and just as the
fire department arrived the west
wall fell in with a resounding
crash. This was shortly followed
by the east and south walls, and
it then became apparent that the
handsome Eskimo Block was
doomed.
There was cry of horror from
the thousands Of spectators when
it was discovered that strong
wind had risen and was carrying
a shower of sparks in the direc'
ton of the Glacier National Bank
building. Fortunately, the edi'
tor of the Midnight Sun was pres
ent, and disregarding all personal
risk, he climbed to the roof OF the
bank and saved the building by
the timely application of a wet
sponge to the affected parts.
Asbestos Abe was transacting
some business with the cashier OF
Az Dus-ao hIhopt To PopH mn

floor. He succeeded in taking
out about $16O,OOO worth of mer-
chandise, which he has sold to
the Northern Light Department
Store, whose large ad. appears in
another portion Of this paper.
The Eskimo Block was owned
by Bonanza Bill who is making
an effort to run for mayor on the
labor ticket. The shack was in
sured for $4,000 in the Aurora
Borealis Insurance Company of
Circle City. At fair valuation
the block was worth $4,000, as
Dawson values go. 1t will thus
be seen that the fire will prove
quite a wind-fall for Bill, who has
been losing heavily in several
games the past week.
Since the fire, Bonanza Bill has
been busily circulating the report
that Miss Calamity Luce, who
sometimes slept in the basement
of the Eskimo Block, started the
fire by carelessly tossing a
lighted cigarette into an open
kerosene barrel.
We do not hesitate to brand
this as an infamous lie, and u
vile, objectionable SANDER, upon
the fair name of one of the best
known young ladies of Dawson.
1t may be that Miss Luce bowls
up now and then and makes her
self more conspicuous than her
surroundings. 1t may be that she
chews tobacco. Possibly she
swears and CANDLES. She may
be more of a convenience than d
necessity about the town, and she
may have killed the stranger who
was found dead on the Sapolio
street bridge last week.
But we are prepared to say to-
day that Miss Calamity Luce does
not smoke cigarettes, and we
think we are in a position to
know.
Bonanza Bill can gain nothing
by attempting to cover up his
own atrocious crimes in this
way. What can the public think
of a man, who, to shield himself,
wilfully ISLANDERS an orphan lady
who has no one in all the world to
support and protect her, except,
perhaps, the railroad and sawmill
employees and the editor of this
fearless and aggressive publica-
ton?
Any man who will deliberately
set fire to a building in which a
policeman is asleep is little better
than a murderer, and that is
nearly as bad as being an incom-
petent mayor.
We respectfully invite the at
tention of the grand jury to this
matter. We are Of the opinion
that Bonanza Bill ignited the
Eskimo Block last night, and we
believe that future political con-
tests at Dawson will be made on
this issue. We believe that the
crime was premeditated. Can
Bonanza Bill explain his peculiar
remarks and conduct of yester-
day? What did he mean, when,
on being asked whether he owned
any houses in this city, he boast
fully replied, Owe got buildings
to burnw What did he mean by
striding down Easy, street last
evening, gaily whistling "There'll
be a Hot Time in the Old Town
Tonight"
No man whose property is not
heavily insured, can afford to
vote for Bonanza Bill for mayor.
