RECEPTION OF TIE NENS.
Our First Issue Cordially Re- ceived by the Douglas Is-
 land People.
WHAT THE NEWS TAN SAW,

The first issue of the News was gra-. ciously received by the readers of Douglas City and Treadwell, and the publishers feel very thankful for the cordial reception that has been given our first publication. A News man strolled around town for short time as soon as the paper was being; delivered. The writer handed our neighbor, MT. G. Roene paper. Two handsome women were standing by- "What! the new paper, are you going to slight us," said one. Of course they were each supplied with a copy We went up to see our friend in the Douglas Pharmacy. Just before we got to the door we heard some one making an awful noise. A man was, running toward us and when he saw that we were looking at him, he com menced to wave his hands and shout. at the top of his voice. We went to meet him and with tears running out of his eyes he begged for copy of the. News. To see women and children cry for our paper is not an uncommon thing, but for able bodied men to so lose control of their feelings is new one on us. "Have you come to stayf" said another lady, as she glanced at the local page and wiped away a tear from her left eye. Being assured that the News would always remain here to. greet her every Wednesday she became composed and we bade her good bye and strolled on. On Front street we. met John Egan; it was dusk by this. time. He was showing wheelbarrow. "The new paper out" said John.
 "There's your paralyzer, the only re- ligious paper in Alaska, said the News man. John dropped the wheelbarrow handles and looked the sheet over- Then he commenced to read. He kept on reading and we commenced to get cold. We had an overcoat on, but John was in his shirt sleeves. The wind was blowing and getting colder every minute. We could see his trous CT legs flap in the mild Taku wind as it engaged in sundry and divers fiirta- tions, but John read right on. Pres entity his hat blew off and went whirl- ing toward the Standard Hall door, but John paid no attention to his hat and kept on reading the great newspaper of Alaska. Just how long John stood there without coat or hat reading the News we don't know for we got so aw- ful cold that we left to find some good hot stove. He may have stayed there all night for all we know.
 Of course these incidents are gratify- ing to the publishers. We are publish ing a paper for the people and to please them will be our constant aim.

Died.

Little Myrtle McWilliams, the seven year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. McWilliams of this city, died last Fri day morning. Little Myrtle had been sick for some time with scarlatina but was supposed to be getting better un- til Thursday night, when physician was summoned from Juneau, the ferry boat making an extra trip to carry him to this city; but no power could save. The immediate cause of death was hemorrhage of the lungs. The funeral took place last Saturday and the inter- ment was made at Juneau, the re- mains, mourners, and friends being conveyed to that city on the ferryboat on the 1 o'clock trip. The parents have the sympathy of all in the loss of a lovely child. "He who gave has taken away"

The Lamp was Loaded.

A miners lamp carried by Thomas Madden exploded at Treadwell last Thursday forenoon, from the effects of which he received severe injuries by being burned on the neck and other portions of the body. He was immedi- ately removed to the hospital, where, under the excellent care and treatment of Dr. Dorr he is rapidly recovering.

The Bows Give Thanks.

Douglas City has lively lot of boys. When we say boys we don't exactly mean young boys, but we include the older fellows too. Few towns indeed can claim so many generous wide-awake men. Environment no doubt contrib utes to make them so, for Douglas City is certainly a place where man may be happy. All those who want employ ment can get it and none need ever complain of want. This is cash busl- ness town and everybody has money.
 Whether those so fortunately situa- ted are as appreciative of the fact as they should be, we really do not know, but we believe they are. For the pur- pose of informing our readers on this subject a News man was ordered to take stroll around town. We sent a mind reader on this mission and we give his report.
 Frank Bach is thankful that trade IS good and that he has plenty of fuel on hand.
 Fox gave thanks that the victims Of his jokes still permit him to live.
 Jack Mcdonald is thankful for his superior knowledge of the winds.
 Dr. Harrison gave thanks that all his signs are right side up.
 MO. Howe was thankful that his appetite stayed with him over Thanks giving.
 Smith was and ought to be thankful for having big trade.
 O'Connor was thankful that his 200 pound Swiss Cheese was not quite all gone.
 John Egan was more than thankful that his new brewery is just what he wants.
 Taylor gave thanks for good din- ner and general prosperity.
 James "thanked awfully" because he had as good dinner as anyone.
 Hunter gave thanks because Douglas has a newspaper
 Mckay gave thanks because he sold all his stock of fine turkeys and that his new baby is all right.
 LaMotte was thankful for a good pat, ronage at his excellent dinner.
 Caspersen gave thanks for health and comfort.
 Sam Gius was thankful that he was still alive.
 Johnson & CottrelI gave thanks be- cause they are satisfied to still remain on earth.
 Boynton was exceedingly thankful that the storm was over and he could resume work on the new church.
 Corbus (the News man thought) was thankful for having the best job II Alaska.
 Hale should be thankful for being the best looking man at Treadwell.
 Joe Edwards was thankful becaus' "not wave of trouble rolls, across his peaceful breast. /

city in Odd Fellows Hall on third street. It was a regular genuine Thanksgiving dinner. The supply of turkey and cranberry sauce was inex- haustible and literally provided The preparation of the food was perfection itself. A better dinner could not be desired. It was for the benefit of the church. It was not necessary to say that the supper was all right, in fact could have been no. better, for the way those who sat at the table ate, furnish ed all the evidence necessary. No prizes wero given to those who ate the most, but if there had been, honors were easy between MT. Taylor, MT. M. c. Howe and Dr. Harrison. On a tee: nical investigation the pr. would prob ably get the prize. The supper was pre- pared by Mrs. R. Bently, Mrs. L. A.. Anderson and Mrs. Falconer and the walters were the Misses H. Johnson, Florence Crofts, Maggie Shotter and Mrs. J. c. Rose.

AFTER SUPPER.

The grand march took place after supper, as announced, after which dancing was renewed and continued until a late hour. The party was a pleasant one, but we are informed that the attendance was not as large as us- ual. Among those who attended were some of the best people of the town and really we were agreeably surprised to see such a turnout of fine looking people. We of course expected to see an average collection, but this one was far superior to the average turnout of an Alaska city.
 The music was excellent, could have been no better, and was provided by Prof. Clark Miller, Herbert Fullmer and Charles Fremont.

REHo, April 1S.-The House con-
vened at IL N. The Senate Cuban
resolutions mere taken up immed
lately. Dingley moved their adop-
tiSn with the clause recognizing the
independence of the present Cuban
government stricken out. D~ingley's
motion was carried by Il vote OF lT9
to LOG.
The resolutions with the indepen-
dence clause stricken out were then
sent back to the Senate. The Sen
ate considered the resolutions rs sent
back by the House and by a vote Of
-iS to 81 refused to concur. A dead
lock is probable.
1t is now thought that the majority
Senate resolutions with the clause
disclaiming any purpose OF the Unit
ed States to acquire Cuba will be
adopted.
Fourteen Republicans in the
House bolted and voted against Ding
ley's motion. When the resolu-
tons were returned to the House

ate IN the House amendment, Brom.
well, Republican, moved that the
House recede and concur in the Sem
ate resolutions. The motion was de-
feated.
