He still wears the vest but he keeps his matches and cclluloid furniture in separate pockets now.

 When Gov. Brady went to Washing ton. D. C.. in the interests of Alaska legislation. in December last. the Ju- neat Chamber of Commcrc" put mp S25o Co help drrray his expense, ou th" trip. The Governor has larc" property interests in Sitka and. a~ one would naturally suppose, he k working fortho interests of Sitka and. if reports ar" true. he i~ giving Juneau the marble hcart" According to the information received from Washington. th" Gov cruor has had tho Carter bill amended 90 as to fix the rrsidcur" of th" judge at Sitka. which would simply br an outrage on litiUants. There is but one regular mail boat to Sitka and when an action k commenced OF an i'm portaut order is desired it takes weeks to get to the judge. We saida continu- ation of such conditions would b" am outrage. but it wouId b" more than outrageous.
 The Chamber of Commerce" of Jul ncau has been informed of the action of the Governor. The lid was re- moved last Sunday night at special meeting called by chairman Kaufman. The Dirigo took twenty t"lcgrams to Seattle to be sent to senators and rep rcscntatives.t that were prepared by that body, and the Topeka to-day will take a set of resolutions passed upon the subject and which are also endorsed by the Bar Association of Alaska.
 They feel very bitter towards the governor. in Juneau. over his apparent treachcry. lt is natural that they should. Who wants the court for this portion of Alaska retained at Sitka: Only a few people who reside there. Why, there is not even a lawyer in that town except the District Attorney, and the law requires him to be there. Tho lawyers and litigants are all on tho main land.
 How Juneau's bright, widc-awako business men came to the conclusion that Gov. Brady should represent them must always remain mystery. 1t Is as comicaI as it would be for Seattle to send Tacoma man to represent it's interests.

sAUERKRAUT AND A MAN.
His Love for Embalmed Cabbage Matches and
 Celulod.

A man resides in Douglas City. He occupies house up toward the foot hills. He keeps house, and further, he likes sauerkraut. His love for that embalmed article of diet came near costing him dearly, and this is the way it happened. A few evenings ago he bought some sauerkraut and took 1t
 home. He put it in bucket on the floor, He had some matches and a eel Iuloid back looking glass in his vest pocket, He reached down to remove the lid from the bucket, and while do- inp so he heard a hissing, whizzing sound. He thought the embaiming process through which the kraut was supposed to have gone was still incom- plete. and that the noise came from the llraut. Then he smelt something, and blamed the kraut for an odor that correctly embalmed sauerkraut Is never guilty of exuding. He was blam- inc that kraut for all kinds of bad things when he was brought to d cor rect realizatisn of the condition that prevailed by finding himself on fire. The matches and celluloid back of the
 glass had found an affinity between

Pearl MaddOcks Dramatic g.

Last Saturday very interesting en-
tertainment was given to a select audi.
ence by the newly organized Dramatic
Association, under the management of
Miss Pearl Maddocks, aged II years, as
sisted by Misses Lewis, Roulard and
Clafiln (of about some age). Reading
and singing by each of the company was
finely rendered and the farce was full of
jingle, to the establishment and high
glee of all present. The expression up
on the face of the star of the evening
was laughable in the extreme, as the
facial changes given with fine art, in
showing authority with her class. Re-
ireshments were served after which
Misses Marion and Helen Swain little
daughters of w. H. Swain, formerly of
Skowhegan, now of Winter Hill,) closed
the evenings entertainment by some
beautiful selections in elocution, all of
which were rendered to the surprise and
great amusement of all present.
