THE ELECTION CoNTE T.

Interest in the election contest is grow- ing There was 8 larger vote poled yes terdav than on Tuesday. Already ther- is evidence that the vote will be l.rge. Both republicans and democrats are en. deav0ring to get out full vo'e and as the contest progresses, it would seem that Skagway is easily debatabe ground. It may even now be placed in the doubtful column. The race between Mckinley and Bryan is now neck and neck, and the winner must depend on the votes vet to be cast
 It might be we'll to suggest in this con nection that voters should use more care in marking their ballots. The name of the voter and his residence is necessary requisite. Otherwise there is no way for the judges to determine whether or not he is a resident of Skagwav and entitled to vote.

It Is to the interest of everyone in Skag- way that full vote be boiled in the pres identia election contest. The returns of the election will be published broadcast and 1t should be d matter of pride with cit zens to have the number of votes cast in keeping with the size of the city. Let everyone vote-democrat, republican, pro hibitionist or socialist. II any one desires to vote for candidate for president other than McKinIev or Bryan, he may do so by writing the name of his choice, with his politics, on a blank sheet of paper, and at taching thereto his signature and residence.

HAVE ALARM SYSTEM,
Coumc oil Committee Take Action on
 Question of Fire Alarms.

Councilman Lee Guthrie and w. l.. Green, the special committee appointed on securing a fire alarm system, have decided to order tour S-ineh gongs and a fire whistle. The gongs will be put on an electric system by which an alarm can be given simult lneouslv at each fire house and at the electric light plant. A loop can be had at small expense by property own CTS to connect with their premises, by which the alarm can be given by pressing a button.
 It has also been decided to divide the city into thI.e fire districts with different signal from each district. This is 10 en- able the hremen locate d fire, The first district will comprise all that part of town south of Fourth avenue. The second dis trlct will extend from Fourth to Eighth or Ninth avenues.

The most savage specimen of the
crab species Is found In Japan seeming
to dream of nothing but fighting-to
delight In nothing half so much. The
minute he spies another of his kind he
scrapes his claws together in rage,
challenging him to the combat. Not a
moment is wasted in preliminaries, but
at it they go. hammer and tongs. 1t
sounds like two rocks grinding against
one another as their claws rattle
against the hard shells. The sand flies
as the warriors push each other hither
and thither until at last one of them
stretches himself out in the sun, tired
to death.
But he does not beg for mercy or at
tempt to run away, only feebly rubbing
his claws together in defiance of the
foe. That foe comes closer, and, with
his claws trembling with joy at his vic
tory, the conqueror catches hold of one
claw of the vanqufshed crab, twists 1t
until it comes off, and bears away the
palpitating limb as trophy Of his
prowess. Such is battle between
warrior crabs.

WOODEN INDIANS OUT OF STYLE.

Nodded Cigar Signs Have Become the
Vogue of Late Years.
Wooden Indians, bemoans man who
had carved them for years, have gone
out of fashion and his occupation is
disappearing with them. Luckily, he is
the only one in the business still and
there is employment enough for him,
although prospects for some years have
been of such characterthat 10 recruits
have been added to this calling and
with him 1t will die out of New York.
Tobacco shops in these days are ac-
cording to his experience, not especially
anxious to possess an Indian as a sign
of their business. In case they select
this advertisement a nodded Indian
serves their purpose just as well, and
the former ambition of tobacconists to
place In front Of store a well-caryed
presentiment of the native American no
longer exists. Degenerate cigarette
shops uptown call attention to their
business by means Of an exhibit which,
compared with an Indian, carved or
nodded. seems lamentable decline In
taste and aesthetics. The swarthy
young women with beaded jackets and
fezes who make cigarettes in the shop
windows still are potent In attracting
crowds to watch them. One who has
seen them frequently must be surprised
that the tobacconist business could pos
sibly be improved by the contemplation
of these young women at work. II any
thing could destroy the ideas of delicacy
and exquisiteness connected with the
Turkish cigarette 1t would be sight of
these women.
The wood carver complains that the
tobacconists are not the only persons
who have ceased to demand his handl-
work. The circuses, for which he used
to carve all kinds Of show wagons for
the street parades, no longer call on hirs
or any other wood carver, but have
them made by cheaper process OF
molding, If they want such articles. II
is easy enough for any person wso has
seen circus parade In recent years to
realize that there must be little demand
for any work in that direction. For
fifteen years one circus parade has ex-
hibited annually the same set of gilded
wagons, without even the change that
might come from little fresh paint

No Claim Was Made by the Farmer TO

lout Of my pocket and looked 1t over.
1t was a claim for five yards of calico.

for it Immediately suit would be com
menced to compel us to. The claim was
very vague, no reason being given why
we should pay for five yards Of calico,
and resolved to look the matter up to
satisfy my own curiosity If nothing else.
+. However, the other case was more
serious, so looked that up first, and as
l entered the house the old man, whose
wife had been nearly killed, said
grlmly:
! " SO you're here ter settle that thar

GOOD ACTING.

Farmer Carried Away by the Realism
of the Scene.
| One of the leading lawyers Of the
northwest is William John Hahn OF
Minneapolis. for many years attorney
general OF Minnesota, says the Philadel-
phia Post In his younger days Mr..
Hahn was as good an amateur actor as
he is lawyer, which is high praise. He
was the leading man in company
headed by Mayor James Richardson,
now of Connecticut, and MAT" Stroup.
now Of Aberdeen, N. ID.
1t was twenty years ago that this
locally famous aggregation gave an
English drama. Mr.. Hahn played the
part of an idle vagabond-the ne'er-do-
well son Of a squire, who had through
evil associates been accused of a crime.
! The last act was court scene In which
the prisoner was convicted and sentenc,
ed to penal servitude for life. Mayor
Richardson was the Judge and Mr..
Stroup was counsel for the defense.
The house was crowded, and as was
usual, the nearby country had sent In
Ia fair delegation of farmers and their
families. The lawyer made stirring
plea for mercy, which visibly excited
the audience.
"A good lad, your honor" he pleaded,

and friend of his neighbors, and"

away by the realism of the scene, had

Fool Luck,

You can bet 1t Is always fool fer
luck" said the man who has ha1. his
nose to the grindstone all his life.
Now, there was Jack Shane of Ten
nessee, who drew $4,000 IN a lottery.
Jack didn't know enough TO 90 In out
OF the wet. but he had little money,
and he bought ticket that won, while
l got ten and didn't fetch a cent. The
winning number was ~, and when
saw Jack | asked him how he happen
ed to take that number Well he
said, you see, IL was this way: | had a
dream one night. and | dreamed that
the door of my room opened all of a
sudden and big number seven walked
In. Then right after it came other sew
ems and more and more till the room
was chuck full and was about smoth-
cred under them. Then | woke up and
began thinking it over. | knowed that
one seven wasn't the number to draw
nor II nor 7,777. for there was mill
lion OF them, and no lottery had that
many numbers. But | figured awhile
and at last made up my mind that sew
en- times seven was AZ. and AZ was the
number. so | drawed that one. That
was all there was to it,

This is how a super, thus given an
opportunity of distinguishing himself,
once delivered few short lines de-
scriptive of man being picked up aft
er cab accident: 1.-The hanson cab
was picked up Off the esplanade with
a handkerchief tightly tied around its
mouth. When removed. it was found
to be perfectly dead"
Still the manager gave him another
trial the following evening. when he
acquitted himself as follows: The
esplanade was picked up OFF the man,
with the hanson cab tightly tied
around his mouth etc.
He was sent to the back row again,

A STREET CAR COMEDY.
The Girl and Her Purse and Five
Smart Young Men.


AS soon as tie good looking girl en-
tered the car the five young men on the
opposite seat began surveying her with
critical eye, and she hadn't yet made
out whether the baldheaded man with
the medical magazine was TO be In
cluded In the lot when the conductor
came In for his fare. The girl opened
her portemonDale and began TO take
out latchkeys, samples OF ribbon and
little memoranda In the usual way,
and the five young men smiled, each
after his own particular style. Bald
headed was out of it. The girl didn't
see any of the smiles. but she caught
ON Just the same. There was nickel
Ill ready for her fingers, but when one
pale faced young man added giggle
to his smile the nickel was thrust aside
for 81 bill. She didn't hand 1t over
to the conductor as she fished 1t out;
but. leaning forward with winning
smile on her face, she began at the
head of the line and asked:
"Will you please be SO kind as to
change this bill for me?'
1t was impossible. A young man
with only II dime In his pocket has no
show to bust bill. The next one
had quarter, but he had to decline,
and so 1t went to No. 8. His hand
sought his pocket as his turn came,
but 1t didn't bring up any change.
The smiles had been replaced by sheep
ish looks, and they rubbed elbows and
trod on each others feet in trying to
look out of the windows. There was a
long minute of painful suspense, and
then the good looking girl handed the
bill to the conductor. She hadn't n
word to say to the five young men who
had started out in life so gayly, but old
baldheaded had. When all was over,
he turned half around and growled
out:
"If were you fellows, ! wouldn't
try to be so blamed smart next time.

Eject OF Altitude.

Perhaps in no State Of the Union has
climate SO much to do with the charac-
ter of the people as in Colorado, is the
contention of a writer In Ainslee's. He
says in part:
60 into Colorado; climb the long as
cent from the level of the Missouri, and
then as you emerge from the train into
the handsomely improved streets, and
among the unsurpassed brick and stone
residences of Denver, feel your head
swim with the lofty altitude and the
rarefled air; then realize that the
miners went on mile further into the
air. that they are working and taking
out millions of dollars of gold to the
present day mile higher in the air, at
Cripple Greek, at Leadville and
dozen other places; 1t will make you
pause to think what exaltation there Is
in dwelling there always, what staying
powers the pioneers must have had.
Wait day or so, until the vertigo has
passed away, and the exhilaration
comes to you that always comes when
you have climbed mountain and stood
upon Its top and gazed out over a wide
world that expands below you; then
you will begin to feel that electric. that
nervous surcharge, that indomitable.
interchangeable, almost towering
spirit of elevation and still further ele-
walton that makes Colorado almost the
livellest, the most irrepressble, the
most determined element in the Amer
