DEMOCRATIC.
 JOHN MCNEIL RICHARD MCCORMICK. ANGUS MACKAY FRANK BACH

The Douglas Island Chamber of Commerce met at Ohman's Hall last Friday evening. President Bach being absent, Vice President Stubbins was in the chair. The Cemetery committee reported that a piece of ground had been cleared, sufficient for all present necessities, and active work had been suspended, because of the short days and stormy weather. The committee on school site was unable to make re- port and was continued The commit tee appointed to make arrangements for Chamber of Commerce banquet reported progress and recommended that the date of that event be changed to Nov. 18th, which was acceded to by the Chamber. After the transaction of some other routine business the meet ing adjourned. The attendance was good and the interest taken y all pres ent showed the vim and spirit of the membership.
 The statute that prohibits the estab- Iishment of saloon within 400 feet of a church has caused much trouble of late to the denizens of Skagway. Some over jealous temperance workers have attempted to take advantage of the law and force number of saloons to sus- pend business, even though the Ioca- tion of the churches and school had been subsequent to the opening of the saloons. Their efforts so far have been unsuccessful. There is a right and a wrong in the matter. and those who have attempted to take an unfair ad- vantage of their fellow citizens deserve set back. As long as the laws of the country recognize saloon keeping as a legitimate business, it is entitled to just as much protection as any other busi- ness. AS to priority of right the law should work both ways.

The Jury Promptly Responds
With a Verdict.
MORE DOGS POISONED
Fatality of CANNES in the Vicinity of
Eighth Avenue Continues Una-
bated Fear Expressed that
Trouble VIII Yet Result.

Ed Quinn was acquitted by jury in
Judge S hlbrede's court today on the
charge of pointing gun at ]. A. Moore
one day last week. The case was con-
tested for all there was in it. John F.
Dillon represented Quinn while E. M.
Barnes appeared for the prosecution at
the instance of the prosecuting witness.
The Jurors who tried the case were w.
J. Blackwell, Thomas Kay. ]. A. Finn,
M. Petit and H. Howe, and the verdict
was arrived at in less than half an
hour.
The feud which has prevailed for
some time among the residents OF Eigth
avenue over the poisoning OF dogs con-
tinues with undated fury. and the dogs
are still dying. Yesterday morning Mr..
Frace, who lost two dogs at the begin
ming of the trouble, lost another valu'
able canine. The dog died as did the
others from poison, and the strange
part of it was the dog was tied up on
Traces premises at the time the poison
was administered.
C. b.. Frank, the grocer, at Eighth
and State streets, lost dog yesterday
afternoon. 1t died late in the day. and
also from the result of poison.
These last fatalities increase the loss
to about twenty in few weeks in the
one locality.
The fear is expressed that trouble OF
O more serious nature will yet result as
feeling is running high over the pecu-
liar method of warfare, for such it now
seems to be.
