Common Law Marriages.

Some time ago the Stikeen River Journal invited a discussion of the sub feet of common law marriages. There is but little to discuss upon this sub feet, for no general principles will ap- ply, owing to the fact that we have nO national legislation on the subject, and the law and decisions of the various state courts differ in so many respects. Common law contracts of marriage are viewed with less favor each year, and the law-making bodies of many states are insisting upon marriages be ing contracted in the manner and form as prescribed in the statutes.
 The Journal seems to adhere to the idea that any kind of a marriage Is good and mentions those of a captain of a ship. The fact is that the captain of a vessel cannot perform the marriage ceremony. Of course all marriages i'll contravention of state statute are not void, but many are, but to discuss the question intelligently would re- uuire the space of a 700 page book.
 So far as Alaska is concerned, we are governed by the Oregon code, and it would be well to follow it and run no chances. The want of license would not. in our opinion, make a marriage void in any state, but the person per forming a ceremony without it would be liable to punishment.
 Then, again. we run up against the distinction between void and yoidable contracts, which further convinces us that newspaper is not the proper place in which to discuss the subject. We newspaper men had better let the subject alone. The editor of the Se- attle Times tried to throw some light on the question recently, and nearly

Sam and the Indians.

Sam Straighter had an opportunity of testing his wind and sprinting capa- bilities last Monday night. Sam was going down Main street and two In dians got after him. Whether they were trying to hold him up to beat or kill him he didn't know, and he did not wait to find out, but lit out on a keen run with his pursuers after him. He ran some seven blocks and, according to our informant, made about forty miles an hour. In the wind-up Sam found himself in the bay in five feet of water and the Indians did not care to follow him into the water, and sneaked off. Sam went into the Standard after his experience with the red men. He was steaming and putting like leaky engine with hundred and forty pounds steam pressure. His hair was standing on end and in fact, he was nearly scared to death. Owing to the trouble that the officers had with the Indians at Juneau, they are probably not in the best of humor, and our peo- pie better be prepared to meet them after dark.

Sam'S Mail Service.

It took sixteen days for a letter to reach us from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Some three weeks ago while in Fort WrangeI Judge Sundmacher told tho writer that he had that day deposited a letter in the post office directed to us. We received the letter last Thursday. What is the matter with our mail ser vice anyhow?

Last week we made mention of MT. x. G. Kaufman, of Kaufman Bros, hay ing gone to the sound country for few months vacation. Well, he has been heard from, and what do you think has happened? He was not at his home but few days when he became a dad dy. real genuine parent, and the best of it is that it is boy. We hope when father Kaufman returns he will still know his friends.
 Mir. Schell is much improved and will soon be himself again.

A Pleasant Gathering.

Last Friday evening Mir. and Mrs. Byron Leigh of Treadwell entertained a few friends at their residence in that city. Music and whist playing were among the pleasing features of the evening. At twelve o'clock an elegant repast was served which was also much enjoyed. Those who were so fortunate as to be present were delighted with the evenings entertainment. MT. and Mrs. Leigh know how to entertain and an invitation to their place always means a jolly good time. Those present. were Messrs. Dan Valsey, Frank James, Mark Smith, Herbert Wilson, John Powell, and others.

An Ancient Belief

The ancients believed that rheu
matism was the work of demon
within man. Any one who has
had an attack of sciatic or infan-
matory rheumatism will agree that
the infliction is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief. 1t has never
been claimed that Chamberlain s
Pain Balm would cast out demons,
but it will cure rheumatism. and
hundreds bear testimony to the
truth of this statement. One appli-
cation relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times it's cost. For
sale by all druggists.

A POPULAR JUDGE.

Judge Steele is endearing himself
to the people by his upright de.
meanor, his clean and concise de-
cisions, and his dispatch of the
large amount of business that had
accumulated, and his anxiety to
save the tax payers from large costs
in trivial cases. Judge Steele pre-
sides over his court in a dignitied
manner, as becomes an honorable
Judge, and he has all of the details
of the cases we'll in hand, and an
eye to the welfare of the people.

G. W. Hinsey, of Des Moines, late a
corporal in Company A, Ffty-frst
Iowa infantry volunteers, and nephew
of Joe Hinsey and Mrs. +. G. Orelup,
arrived in this city this morning for q
visit with relatives, and to q reporter
related some Of his experiences with
his regiment in the Philippines. Mr..
Hinsey is modest young man and not
much given to talk about himself, but
service with the army in time of war
is liable to loosen mans tongue in
regard to the actions of other people,
who figured in the events, even though
he will not talk about himself. Mr..
Hinsey was asked what his feelings
were the first time he went into action,
and said:
II felt like all the other boys, sup
pose; wanted to get out OF there and
get out quick, but when 7 fred my
first shot that feeling left me, and
could not fire my artillery" fas
enough. To see your companion fall
was not a pleasant sight, but there are
compensations. After one fight ] saw
