had the money he would go to the Sound and buy set of instruments and bring them up on the first boat. Well, Jack McDonald-everybody knows Jack, who has gone to the Atlin gold fields and we all hope he will get more gold than he can carry-this same Jack heard the remark and he "never said a word" but started out to hustle the cash. In little while he came to Mir. Taylor, and, placing the necessary funds in his hand, said: 'There's the money, now go buy the horns"
 The Cottage City was at Juneau and had blown her half-hour whistle. Mr. Taylor grabbed his overcoat, poked a pair of clean cuffs in one pocket and collar ill the other, and started for the wharf, but before he could get ferry the boat had left Juneau. She stopped for few minutes at TreadwcIE and that few minutes saved the day. The conductor of the steamboat had cried all aboard, when a boat nearcd the TreadweIl slip, with Jack Mcdonald pulling at the oars like fiend and Mir. Taylor crying out in his clear tenCr voice, " wait minute, please"
 MT. Taylor got aboard and in a few days was in Seattle, but there he was again disappointed, for he found only four band instruments at the various music stores in the city. A trip to Ia coma only produced two more. What was he to do? He visited pawn shops, second hand stores, and saloons, and interviewed musical men of every kind and caliber, and finally had his list of instruments complete, but the Cottage City had sailed away to the North with out him and he could only wait for the Seattle which was to sail in few days.
 When the Cottage City reached the wharf at Douglas, many were the anX- ious eyes eagerly watching for MT. Tay- Tor, but he was not there; and the spirit of hope in the breasts of the Douglas ties fell to the lowest ebb.
 For two hours before the Seattle sailed for Alaska on her last trip be- fore that memorable Fourth of July, MT. Taylor was busily engaged in car rying musical instruments of every conceivable shape into his staterOom, and when on the trip North fellow pas would catch chance glimpse of the assortment, they would close their eyes and silently pray for the sal vation of Alaska.
 The Seattle did not land at Douglas, but went on to Juneau, where few eX- uIting spirits were growing over the thought that they had the only brass band in Alaska. They were dumb with amazement to see unloaded upon the dock such collection of band instru- ments as they had never seen before. There were big horns and little horns, bass horns and tenor horns, trombones and comets, bass drums and tenor drums, claronets and cymbals. Mr. Taylor immediately placed them in a row boat and brought them to Douglas City. A band practice was held that night, which developed the fact that there was plenty of talent on the Island and all that they needed was horns, and they had the horns.
 They had a band here last Fourth that was frst-class and we still have it. That reminds us that another Fourth will soon be here, but from the hustling character of our citizens, as exhibited in the above, we don't think any ob stacle can present itself that will not be overcome.

DUEL TO THE DEATH.

Tragedy Enacted on q Montana
Range, With No witness Present.
Helena, Mont, July 16. = A special
from Livingston describes a fatal duel
between two neighboring ranchers
living fifty miles from there on Shields
river. no one else being present, Rob
ert Stevens taking the life Of W. d.
Smith. Smith did not live tostell the
tale Of the contest, but the story told
by Stevens is generally believed to be
true. The shooting occurred about 6
O'Clock in the evening, and immediate
ly after Stevens rode to the nearest
ranch and reported what had hap
pened, and then rode all night, arriv-
ing in Livingston early in the morning,
when he gave himself up to the au-
thorities. The story, as told by Stew
ems, is to the effect that Smith was the
aggressor and provoked the quarrel
from the start The two men met on
the range and began to discuss an old
trouble, when they both became angry
and Stevens rode away, but was fol-
lowed by Smith, who insisted on re-
newing the quarrel. Stevens finally
jumped from his horse, and, drawing
his revolver, warned Smith not to mo-
lest him., Smith then dismounted,
and, selecting two rocks, advanced
toward Stevens, and, when about
twelve feet away. attempted to throw
one att Stevens, who fired, killing him
instantly, IS -, = =.

New York, July 16.-George NJ. VAL
ty bank of Perth Amboy, n. j., which
was closed yesterday, has surrendered
himself, and is now in Jail Oh account
Of a shortage in the. banks funds,
which has been variously estimated all
the way up to $4,000. The affair
caused CONSERVATION and dismay
among the business men of Perth Am
boy, where the Middlesex county bank
was considered as strong as the eter-
nal hills. The notice posted on the
door, of the MiddleseX county bank ear
ly this morning was as follows:
Bank closed. In the hands of. the
banking department"
On Monday last Cashier George NJ.
Valentine evidently conceded that he
could no longer conceal the. shortage
at the MiddlcseX county bank. On
that morning he telephoned President
Watson that he was detained. but he
said he would appear at noon. The
bank had then opened for business and
Mr.. Watson. who was taking the alb
sent cashiers place, discovered that
there should have been some $1,000 in
bills to commence operations on. There
could not be found in the vault. Mr..
Watson was searching for them when
Valentine called up. He asked. Valcn-
tine where this money was, and was
told it had been PLACED. in the cashiers
private drawer. Mr.. Watson remarked
that that was no place for it, but rang
off the telephone and went to get 1T.
\ duplicate key of the drawer indi-
Gated was obtained, and the drawer
opened. but no money could be found.
Mr.. Robert n. Valentine. the cash
ier's father, was summoned, and he
aided Yin the search for the missing
money. 1t could not be found, and
finally the work of checking was be-
gun. Then it oon became evident
that during, the last few months the
accounts of the bank had been juggled.
The other trustees We're summoned,
and the banking department was noti-
fed to send an examiner. Deputy Com
missioner Of Banking Johnson APP
peared in response. Thursday night
the determination to close the bank
was reached, and MI. Watson notified
Chief of Police Burke and asked him
to locate the missing cashier. Valcn-
tine, who had"been in New York city,
returned to Perth Amboy from Wood
bridge, accompanied by his counsel.
Edward Savage of Railway. He de-
!. clined to 60 into details about the
shortage of the bank, except to say
that he vas very sorry he had got his
friends into trouble and that he felt
very bad about his wife and children.
President Watson is of the opinion
that the cashiers defalcation will
amount to at least $125.OOO Where
the money went to is not known. as
the cashier is said to have been mod
crate in his tastes and habits Of liv-
ing.
Valentines relatives are wealthy,
and it is said they will endeavor to
make good the shortage.

"Wha Ia It."
Bonesteel. S. D., July 1S.-Upon tho
question whether his victim was brute
or human depends Archie H. Brewers
guilt or innocence: of the crime Of muir
der. Brewer was m of the owners OF
a small tent show which came here for
an exhibition. Among their attractions
vas a creature Of seemingly higher
form Of animal life thar n monkey and
lower than n man. Brewer and Thorn
dyke called the animal the ''missing
link and laid great stress on the AL
legged fact that no one was able to say
whether it belonged to the human or
the brute creation. Brewer now AYERS
that the freak was Il monkey. In 4
scnltie with it the Snowman became
angry and, seizing Il club dealt his an
tagonist Il hard blow over the ear, from
the effects of which it died in Il few
hours. The local authorities immed:-
ately placed Brewer u:::.er arrest on
II charge Of murder. AT the prclim-
mary hearing his lawyers set up the
defense that their client did not take
tho life of a human being. but the
magistrate bound him over to the
grand jury.

There Ia Talk In q OF .HuShin8
Up the Dreyfus Scandal.
New York, July 19.-It is now stated
says the Paris correspondent of the
Tribune, that the present cabinet has
decided in the-eyent of the acquittal
of Dreyfus at.Rehnes which is re-
garded as almost a certaiAty:-to hush
up the, whole scandal. ::Tisis,is consid-
cred in political circles to be, the vital
question with which France will he
confronted as soon as the court-mar-
tial at Rcnnes has pronounced its
judgment. In spite of weight of au-
thority of both Nj. Ribot and infiuen-
tial papers like the Temps and the
Debats. people are beginning to ask
whether such a policy of 'husning up"
and of shielding those who are re-
sponsihle for the terrible conspiracy
against an innocent man would not de-
stroy confidence in the republic.
Punishment in France usually
means retaliation and retaliation leads
to civil war;" Such are the words of
a French statesman who has been
prime minister, and who has wealth
cred many a parliamentary storm.
Whether it furnishes a key to the pol
icy that the present cabinet will adopt
after the Judgment shall have been
rendered by the Renncs court-martial
remains to be seen.

Destroyed.
Halifax, N. S., July 19.-The Stan
dard Oil companies tank steamer Nav
-erick. which. arrived Saturday from
New York with.A cargo of: oil, is sunk
in the harbor. "She was taken to her
pier in Bedford basin and the pumping
of the oil from the ships hold to the oil
tank on the shore was commenced, q
six-inch pipe connecting. the tanks.
During the pumping the pipe burst and
the oil flowed down into the engine
room and became ignited. The steam
er's crew made efforts to subdue the
flames that followed, but We're Obliged
to leave the ship 'to'escape with their
lives. A short time afterwar1 sheets
of flame were rising from the steamer
in several places. The city fire brigade
was called out. fearing a general con-
f1agration. This danger was. averted
by an explosion which blew q hole in
the ships side. She careened and grad
ually filled with water and sank. She
now lies submerged, only her masts
being visible. About two-tllirds of the
cargo remained in the vessel at the
time of the disaster and was destroyed.
A large area of water is covered with
blazing oil and thousands of people
have been attracted to the scene

FAv0Rs THE DEMOCRATS.

An Opinion ON the Election of Pres
(idential Electors in Iowa.
{: ,Des. Moines. July f.11Attorney Cen
eral Remley.. in an opinion given at the
request Of Chairman Hancock, of the
Republican state committee, holds that
the new law regulating the election Of
presidential electors in this state may
be construed by the courts to mean
that each district elector shall lie elect
ed by the people Of the district, and
the two, at large by the state at large,
and not all by the state ut large as
heretofore. This might result in Civ:
ing the Democrats one or more electors
in this state. He recommends that the
matter be called to the attention OF
the next legislature for amendment to
make all electors chosen by the state
at large.
