ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

The agitation that is now being created
throughout the country over the Alaska
license tax, the cession of large portion
Of the Porcupine mining district and the
surrender of $4,000, 900 of annual trade can
not fall to be beneficial to Alaska. While
II Is true that much of this agitation Is
caused by an attempt to make political
capital, II will at least bring the facts be-
fore the people throughout the country.
Senator Mason attributed the adoption of
the license tax in the Alaskan code to the
ignorance of the members of the senate and
house. rhe general knowledge now being
disseminated will obviate this excuse when
Alaskans again 20 before the national law
makers asking for legislation.
There is everv reason to believe that the
fight being conducted by Alaskans is In a
fair wav to succeed. When congress meets
again the members will BE in mood to
grant all that Alaskans are asking for, in
Guiding the suspension of the bonding priv
ilege, or the abolition of the customs house
at the port of Skagway if Canadians do
not speedily grant the requests for fail
treatment that will be made to them.

another bolt struck part of the

ANARCHISTS METHODS.


The methods of the anarchists passeth
comprehension. How it can further the
interest of this peculiar sect to occasionally
kill king, an emperor or president is
beyond the ken Of the ordinary mind. 1t
would seem that these anarchists are as
crazy 10 their methods. as they are In their
principles and theories of government.
II they were organized in such way as
to assaslnate every ruler of nation and to
murder their successors as fast as they as
eend the thrones, then there might be some
reason In their procedure. But when the
murdered Humbert is succeeded bv King
Victor thew have accomplished nothing
but to arouse society anew against their
loathsome creed.
If anarchists desire the abolition of mon
arches. they will have to change their
method of operations. They must work
through public opinion and not fv in its
face.

Pleasure Party's Narrow Squeak.

Mermentau Messenger: The Dan.
ton left here Wednesday for the gull
with party of fifteen pleasure-seekers
on board. Much anxiety was felt
here after the storm set in lest some
mishap would befall the boat and its
load of precious lives.
No tidings came from them, so the
Bernie Holmes started Monday to
their relief. After she had left a
message was received from Lowry
stating that the Danton was lost on
the gulf, but the people were safe at
Grand Cheniere.
The steamer Bernie Holmes got
back Tuesday with the rescued par
ty, from whom we learn that they
were on the beach in the water after
the Danton broke away, and finally
the women and children were pulled
through the water in a boat that had
been saved, to tree upon which
they all climbed and remained from
Saturday morning until Sunday noon,
when they crossed the river to the
ridge and were cared for by the peo-
pie living there. They were 42 hours
without food or drink.

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE.
A Few Reasons Which are Rapidly
Making New Catavrh Cure Famous

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca
tarrh cure. has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies:
tirst-These tablets contain no cocaine.
morphine or any other injurious drug and
are as safe and Beneficial for children as
for adults; this is an important point
when it is recalled that many catarrh
remedies do contain these very oojec-
tional ingredients
Next-Being in tablet form this remedy
does not deteriorate with age, or ar eN-
posure to the air as liquid preparations
invariably do.
Sext-The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties. but it is
50 far more convenient to carry and to
uss at any time THAT it is only a ques-
ton Of time when the tablet wiz entire
iy supersede liquid medicines as it has
already done in the medical department
Of the United States army
NeM-No secret is made of the COM
position of STARTS Catarrh Tablets: they
contain the active principle OF Eucalyptus
bark. red gum blood root and Hydrastin,
Ell harmless antiseptics which, however.
are death to catarrhal germs wherever
found, because they eliminate them from
the blood
Sext-You cannot cure cafayrh by local
applications 10 the nose and throat be-
cause these are simply local symptoms
aAu sucH treatment cannot POSSIBLY reach
the real seat Of catarrhal disease which
is The blood; for this reason inlale1.s
