BoyhoOd's Haunts.

Ho! I'm going back to where
We were youngsters. Meet m
there.
Dear old barefootchum, and we
Will be as we used to be.
Lawless rangers up and down
The old creek beyond the town
Little sunburnt gods at play,
Just in thai far-away.
Water nymphs, all unafraid,
Shall smile at Us from the brink
Of.the old millrace and wade
Tow'rd us as we kneeling drink
At the sprinS our boyhood know,
Pure and clear as morning dew;
And, as we are rising there,
Doubly dow'rd to hear and see,
We shall thus be made aware
OF an eerie. piping, heard
High above the happy Dir
In the hazel. And then we,
Just across the creek, shall see
(Hahl the goaty rascal!) Pan
Hoof it DER the sloping green,
Mad with his own melody,
Aye, and (bless the beasty manly
Stamping fran the grassy soil
Bruised scents of fieur-de-lis,
Boneset, mint and pennyroyal.

TREASURY REGULATIONS
They Not Only Double tho Bond for shippors, but the Blanket Bonds of Transportation Companies.

They are the first regulations rela- tive to customs business ever Issued espec. llllv for the government of bushes. through this port,
 This order comes under the head of entry and transportation of merchandise arriving In the United States In transit to places in British possessions otherwise than under treaties.
 Specifically, these orders are to facilitate the entry and transportation of merehan> dl:e through the American strip between Lynn canal and the British Yukon terri tory.
 The most important new feature of the ruling Is that the bond on goods shipped shall be double the estimated value of the goods, with duties added Heretofore the bond has been equal only to the estimated duties.
 Duties shall be estimated on the foreign market value of the goods and the con- slgnee or agent shall give bond. The goods must be exported within six months. The railroad company will have to give a larger blanket bond.
 The new order has just been received here and Is as follows;

NOT A DROP OF WATER
Supply Gavo Out in Center of City
 Shortly After Midnight.

So far as could be learned, not a faucet on rlres attached to the city water system would vleld a drop of water between and o'clock this morning. Many were open and flowing early last evening, but gave only a weak flow at 9 o'clock and by TO o'clock were dry. Personal inquiries were made In all the business streets at nearly every business House open after o'clock this morning and not place could be found where water was running.
 Supt. Eastman reported at o:3o o'clock last evening that two more fire plugs were frozen, one at the depot and one at syves- ters. The depot plug was thawed out during the night, tut It gave only a very faint flow. Asst. Supt. Dunlap reported the reservoir was visited shortly after midnight, and there was an abundance of water there and apparently nothing to block the flow. The cause of so many pipes being closed was unexplainable. He said hole was sunk yesterday and frost found to be down only two and half feet W hiIe the mains are six feet deep.

THE CHAMBER CONCERT
In Every Way Notable Artistic

There were few vacant seats at the chamber concert given in Firemen's hall by the School of Music last evening, and when those present review the perform ance to their friends today there will be regrets that those few were not oe' eupied by those friends. lt twas success in every way, and particularly in the one important way of demonstrating that the people of Skagway are edueationallV capable cf enjoying the higher class oi music if such Is provided for them. A second concert of a similar character would undoubtedly be a still greater success so far as the matter of attendanee Is con eened.
 The concert, as concert, was one that would not suffer at the hands of an able eastern critic. The program has already been published in the DAILY ALASKAN, and among music lovers and students ex' cited much interest. It is sufficient there fore, to say that every number was ably 1 executed, and that the violin solos Of Mr' Ruthven Tumey tthe only performer un' known to Skagwav audien;e) were Of a masterlv execution that excited surprise and admiration, and were enthusiastically eneored.

FRANK NIGG'S MEDAL
A Treasure that Recalls tho Earliest
 History of His Native State.

Prank NlEg, who Is still at the eity jail, was much quieter yesterday, and spent much of his time In sleeping.
 Joe Hutton. of the Mug restaurant. was yesterday showing an interesting medal which he received from Nlgg recently. Nlgg treasures this highly. and it Is h. deed a medal for which collector would not hesitate to pay fancy prize. lt Is a medal of three inches In diameter of silver and of a beauty of design and state of fine preservation that would excite the admir- atlon of a dealer In curlos.
 On the obverse Is bust of President Fillmore In bss.rellef. and surrounding lt Is lettered: "MlIlard Fillmore, President of the United States" with the date, "ISSo," at the base. The reverse shows q United States trooper and an Indian brave In full war dress, In the center distance, the Inn plements of civilization denoted by a plough and a spade. the starry flag of the Union forming an artistic background, There Is no lettering on thls side save a motto, Labor, Honor, Vlrtue." and this Is set forth In plain English instead of Latin, so that the Indian, as we'll as the soldier might sometime be able to readh.

HIS DOG FROZEN STIFF
Extreme Cold and High Winds Be-
 yond the Summit.


 "siE Jack' Parkinson made the trip from Bennett with his dog team to the summit In four and one-half hours. He stayed there all night and came down to Skagway yesterday morning In three hours and twenty minutes. He says he nearly frore although he was coming with the wind, and how anyone fared going the other way he could only imagine. For himself, he was not going out again until he could go by train. Then he takes two passengers to Dawson, one Of whom Is Louis Lewis. the cigar man.
 He says the cold was teniIle nelr the summit. Louis Jaegel had one of his dogs frozen stiff, and also had both his wrists badly frozen.
 He met the White expedition that Is to break the trail from the summit, and says he has no doubt lt will be a good trail right over the lakes; h fact lt Is not bad now. The railroad Is badly drlfted for five miles beyond the summit but from Frazer to Bennett the traln will have little difficulty.

CAPTAIN MOORE SELLS HIS WHARF INTEREST And Is fluckily Preparing
 to Go to Nome.
HE GETS A GOOD PRICE
Eighteen Thousand Dollors Paid for His Loss than one-ouarter Inter- est in the Wharf Property.

After negotiations extending over many months, Captain William Moore yester- day decided to sell, and did sell, his inter- est In the Moore's whirf property. For some time the wharf has been held as partnership concern, the Alaskan and Northwest Territories Trading Association, represented here by C. E. Wynn Johnson. holding iftv-five per cent of the interest in it and Captain William Moore and his son Bernard the remaining forty.fve per cent.
 There has been much controversy since the signing of the agreement in Angus, 1898 apportioning these interests, partleu. larlv as to the management of the wharf, and in regard to this several notable law suits. The old captain maintained that under this agreement he Was manager, and the trading company opposed his claims 10 this position. Notwithstanding Ihis. the old gentleman felt it hard that he should be shom of all authority about the great property of which he was the fJUnd- CT. and the consequence was a continual friction, annoying to the management and also, at times,to those i:oIng business with the wharf
 The Moore interest of fortv.fve per cent was equally divided between Captain Moore and his son, who were always op- posed, until recently, 10 the claims of the company to the management of the wharf and its business. Latterly however, it would appear. Bernard Moo.e has seen the wisdom of the more progressiv; policy of the company, and has been on thelr side upon certain questions rather than that of his father. This is shown from the fat that Ben still retains his half of the Mooi,o ,o interest, while the old gentleman has sol& out to the company.

His plan Is to load vessel on Sound, and he himself start over the ice , as to be there and ready to handlet-S goods upon their arrival.

It seems that on Friday the gallant cap tain got on a spree, and no one being able to find him another man named John Mack was engaged as foreman to oversee the un- loading of the seow. The captain heard of this and immediately went down to the scow and chased Mack up. He took a hammer and struck Mack on the side of the neck with lI. The result of the lnila- nation produced by the blow was that Mack nearly ehoked during the night and had to send for Dr. Whiting.
 The captain. losing the hammer. took up an ax and pursued Mack, and made two violent cuts at him as he seunied over the gang pl nk. Then the captain went be- low still yielding the ax, and smashed UT his own stove and did other damage tC the ward room of the Flax occupied bl him.
