Died.

Thelma Bach, the two-year old little girl of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Bach, died at the family residence in this city yes terday afternoon, of croup. She was a beautiful, swcet-dispositioned child, and the sorrow comes doubly hard dur ing the absence of Mir. Bach, who is i'll the Klondike. Mrs. Bach has the sin cerest sympathy of all of our people in this sad bereavement, and while the loss of the dear little thing is almost beyond endurance to the fond mother, it should not be forgotten that one more has been added to that happy throng that joins Him who said, Suffer little children to come unto me-"

OUR LATEST FISH STORY.
What the News Han Saw on the Beach last
 -londay Forenoon.

"Have you seen any fish lately?' was asked of a News man in Douglas City last Monday morning by a well known man of this place.
 My friend we are pinine for good fish story" said the newsgatherer in re- ply.
 "Then follow me-" said the man and the News man and his guide started for the beach just this side of the saw mill. We tried to talk to our guide as we walked along, but every subject we tackled brought some reply about the fish we were soon to see, aud arriving at the designated place we saw a sight that few persons have ever been per mitted to witness. A huge fish net was spread out on the beach in a circular form and within its folds were herring, and how many do you suppose there were? Between seventy-fve and one hundred barrels, all alive, and one wriggling, twisting, jumping mass. The tide was on the ebb and about one third of this mass of herring was upon the beach while the remainder were still in the water.
 How did they catch them?
 Well. the little steamer, Annie M Nixon, owned by the Quadra Packing Go. that has a saltery at Taku Inlet, a cannery at Mary Island and wharf in the WrangeI Narrows was laying just off the little island in the channel Sun day and Monday and on the morning of the latter the crew of the boat cast their net to catch some fish for haIlbut bait. The first haul brought them noth- ing. but casting the net a second time they happened to get into school of herring. It was useless to try to raise the net so the great mass of fish was lowed over to the beach about lU yards distane.
 The town turned out with buckets and everybody ate fish, and for all we know are eating fish yet. The crew got all they wanted, everybody in Douglas City was supplied and enough to supply a large city besides were left on the beach to float out with high tide.
 This is our last fish story but we are only telling you what we personally saw.

Mr. Blum calls the News "hot mum Der" He has said many kind things of the News. Coming from a man who is capable of successfully conducting a business like that of The Koehler James O., we regard it as highly com plimentary. If there is any man ill Alaska who is capable of placing true estimate on the value of news paper it is Mir. Blum. Mr. Blum is lacking in one thing however-he fails to properly appreciate the religious qualities of the News, but confidence is plant of slow growth-he will change his opinion in that respect la ter on We appreciate the many kind things the great Juneau merchant has said of the News, and we take off our hat to say, "Thanks, Mr. Blum

THE HOUSE WARNING.
The New Congregational Church Thrown Open
 for Inspection.


 for Inspection.
 In response to the invitations sent out broadcast, quite a considerable number of the good people of Douglas Island gathered at the Congrcgationai church last Friday evening, and there they were met by the Rev. Mr.. Wirt and the members of the church, and entertained in a most hospitable man ner.
 Many who looked upon the interior of the beautiful new edifiCe for the first time were amazed.
 At first it seemed that the spirit of shy backwardness or cold reserve, whichever it may be, that is so hard to overcome at gatherings of this kind, especially in Alaska, where nearly all are newcomers, would be totally lack ing. but while the pastor and the greater part of his flock were III the Sunday School room being photo grapbed as the first Y. P. $. C. F.. in Alaska. the visitors left to them selves became too quiet for comfort, almost. In few moments the large doors were again thr rown open and Mir. Wirt announced that the photograph CTS were about to take an interior view of the church, but that while they were getting ready the exercises of the evening would begin.
 The first number was recitation, "Wish'd was a boy," by Gertrude Landsburg, the little girl who won so much praise for her acting the part of a boy in the Christmas entertainment, and she sustained her reputation well on this occasion also.
 Following this was a recitation by Miss Esther Crofts, entitled, Aunt Tabitha," which probably caused the young men to make personal applica- tion of some of it's conclusions.
 The tOuchingly sweet solo, Some day I'll wander back again" was sung with great feeling by MT. Insley, ot Juneau, whose reputation as a singer had preceded him, and his effort, al though handicapped by severe cold' was far from a disappointment to his hearers.
 Rev. c. N. Reploglc made a short, but very interesting talk, in the course of which he referred briefly to the work of the churches on the Island.
 The recitation, "The little boys view of the day of judgment,' by Miss hath- erine Spiers, brought forth a merry laugh and storm of applause.
 Misses Swinehart and Crofts sang as a duet, quite sweetly, that beautiful ballad, Meta, Jauneta," Mrs. Bach playing the accompaniment.
 There was introduced d game called "Tag." Not cross tag, nor wood tag, but new kind of tag. Shipping tags were distributed, to the ladies and gen tlemen, which were numbered in pairs Those given to gentlemen contained Il question; the tags given to the ladies, answered the question, and in the gen eral excitement, a number were seen to laugh whose faces had previously betrayed no suspicion of smile. But what the tag game failed to ef- feet was accomplished by the tooth some lunch which was served by the ladies just before going home time and finally the chill was entirely dispelled and perfect feeling of good fellow ship prevailed.

Love divine will fill thy storehouse or thy

Fer thy heart grows rich in giving; all it's

Seeds which mildeW in the garner, scat

Help to bear thy brothers burden; God will

Numb and weary on the mountains,

Chafe that frozen form beside thee, and to-

Lavish on their wounds thy balSams, and

A lady in deep mourning some time
ago called upon the proprietor of sgd
ney waXwOrks show and asked to be al
lowed every Sunday morning to place
a clean white shirt on the figure of her

murder). Her request was granted,
and for close on six months she never
missed Sunday. Then the visits
ceased, and no more was seen of the &C.

The three men mounted their stolen
horses without further delay and hur-
ried away, leading the animals on
whose backs were the fortunes of our
friends.
Five minutes later they had disap-
peared in the direction of Dyea, and the
despoiled men were being freed by
Clara Avery and sharp knife.
TarboX's first act was to spring to his
feet, eXclaiming:
''Stay here until 1 come back won't

AS he spoke he dashed off in the same
direction taken by the robbers. Half an
hour later he returned with his face
working strangely.

where will they strike the trail

They'll come right back here as soon

may think they can circle round US, but
l know this trail too well. They'll find
that out after awhile and then they'll
come back this way, thinking we're
gone. It'll take 'em all day to do all
this, and L wouldn't be afraid to bet
that they camp here tonight. At any
rate, if they went to Dyea they would
stick to the trail. You'll find I am
right"
Suppose we stay right here?" asked
Tom.
