HAYNES ITEMS.

Mrs. Dalton, wife of Jack Dalton, came in on the last trip of the City of Seattle and is stopping at the Hotel Northern.
 Judge Ripinsky, our U. s. court com missioner, is in Juneau this week on business.
 R.J. VanWinkle, J. B. Peterson and Fred Alter are down from the Big Sal mon and report encouragingly for that locality.
 Mrs. J. M. Blankenberg, wife of our photographer, is on the sick list. We hope it is nothing serious.
 Senator Mason of Illinois, Captain Hovey and Judge J. r. Malony came in on the City of Seattle and went on into the Porcupine with Jack Dalton, Sena, tor Mason to look over the boundary line matter so that he will be able to act adyisedly when the matter comes up in congress. In an interview he in formed the writer that when the Alaska bill came up in congress he voted for it for the reason that he and nearly ev- cry other senator thought that the peo- pie of Alaska wanted it, but that he finds it to be just what the people of Alaska do not want and just what they should not have-that it was taxation without representation-and then ad- ded that the people of Alaska would never be able to get legislation in their interests until they could send a dele gate elected by the people. Captain Hovey when he comes back from Por. cupine will look over the situation at Haires carefully as to the establish, ment of military post on the govern, ment reserve here. We hope he may find everything he desires in the loca ton so that he can report favorably tc the department. RIALTo.

A WILD SHEEP.

Some two or three months ago a band of sheep escaped from Johnson X Har- vey's pens and made their way into the mountains. Efforts made to capture them were fruitless and they have been left wandering upon the slopes sur rounding our city, enjoying the succu- lent grasses with which this country abounds.
 Last Sunday M. J. O'Connor was climbing over the hills in search of grouse, and away up on top of Mount Jumbo he was surprised to find a big fat sheep. O'Connor carried a shotgun loaded with fine bird shot, but the sheep was wild. For more than two hours he followed that sheep around from one point to another trying to get a shot at him, but failed. Finally he succeeded in bringing himself in the path which the wary animal was fol- lowing, and by a careful shot wounded it. But the game was not done. With bound it was off at redoubled speed, the huntsman and his dog following. However, the wound inflicted had be- numbed the reasoning faculties of the beast and itwent toward steep slopes down which no beast could pass in safety. There another shot finished it and one last bound carried it far out from it's rocky station, down hundreds of feet to the sharp crags below
 O'Connor attempted to carry it home but after tramp through the brush for about one half mile he gave up in disgust. The sheep was in splendid condition, being fat and healthy, which shows what may be one of the indus tries in Alaska in the days to come.

 The statement in the Juneau Dis, patch that Marshal McElheny, of this city, holds his position as an assistant under Marshal Staley of Juneau, is en- tireIy without foundation in truth. The Dispatch is becoming notorious as mixer.

 The owners of claims on Glacier creek insist that they have bright pros, poets and some gold in sight. They may be right, and we hope they are, but nothing has been developed to justify the general announcement that the dis, trict is a second Klondike and that there is room for thousands of locators Southeastern Alaska, or no other coun. try will be benefited by advertising a fraud, or even by blowing and pufing over a find that can only benefit few The newspaper that misleads its pa irons will sooner or later see the error of it's way and find that it's field of use IfQlness $ no more.

PRECAUTIONARY.

Miss Daisy E. Fox, assisted by some of our local musical artists, entertain ed a good sized audience at Ohman's Hall last Thursday evening. Miss Fox is an eIocutionist of more than ordina- " ability and her renditions were full Iy appreciated by her hearers. For the staid and sober person of maturer years a glimpse of the other side of life comes like a revelation. Miss Fox possesses a natural ability, something which cannot be acquired by practice. She carries her audience with her, causing them tc forget the humdrum of everyday exist ence, and laugh as they did when they were children. Every body enjoyed it and the hope is general that she will come again to Douglas. A social dance followed the program.

A SURPRISE PARTY.
careful.

A SURPRISE PARTY.
 "A cloudy morning often brings a pleasant day, and rainy evening of ten brings a pleasant night. With the latter Miss Anna r. Lynch is willing to agree since the evening of the 3rd inst Almost on the eve of her departure for Tacoma, Wash, to attend the Annie i Wright Seminary, she found herself honored with an ideal surprise party The remembrance of this happy event and her bright young friends that ar ranged it will certainly keep clear in her youthful mind pleasant reminis- cences of the play hour of life spent in her Island home. None enjoy enjoy ment like the young. This could be the only impression of the grand march of amusements that commenced in the Lynch residence at p. m. and ended at 3 a. m. At 9:3O the Juneau guests were ushered in. Fair, young Juneau! Seven of Alaska's fair daughters in the mid day of their teens, and one mar ried lady, Mrs. D. A. Peterson. They were as follows: Misses R. Babbage, H. Beede, M. Osborn, M. Moody, P. Love | Iy. B. Cragg, G. Nichols They were ac- companied by the following young gen tIen: Messrs. D. Kennedy, J. Kennedy, R. Osborn, A. Gurr, W. Gurr, R. Rice, G. Vim, M. Lynch, R. Cragg, H. Lin dig, H. Reynolds. The tide of fun was now at flood height, and the aurora borealis disporting on the luminous path of the milky way never displayed such variety of shade and color as did the myriad tinted costumes of the i gentler sex-the living definition of joyuous youth. At l2 o'clock refresh ments galore were served. The de- mand was immense and the supply abundant, the variety great and the quality good. The ice cream could not be improved on if one was president of dairy farm and controlled the output of Muir glacier along with having a corner on the spices of India. Danc- ing and social games were resumed and continued until time to take the ferry i for Juneau, it making a special trip to suit the occasion. Captain Tibbits did a very gentlemanly act by taking the young folks of Douglas from Treadwell and landing them on the new town pier, thereby treating them to little excursion and saving them from an otherwise additional walk. Among those from the Island at the party, were: Mrs. J. Laughlin, Mrs. Jas. Nor ris, Mrs. Wm. Murdock, the Misses Day, Penglase, Bonino, Miss Alice Sherwin, Miss Alice Coggins, Miss Hil- da LilIestrand, Miss Francis Shepard, Miss Hazel Willis, Miss Minnie Cleven- : ger, Messrs. R. J. Willis, Jas. Norris, Jean McNen, Chas. Clevenger, and Masters John Museth, John Penglase, John Bonino, Robert Slough, Henry Hunter, Oliver Anderson, Michael FIaherty, Ernest Powell. The Misses ! Bonino were instrumental in bringing about this pleasant time and showed good tact and taste in the details of its arrangements. Mrs. Lynch is accom-, panying her daughter Anna, and re, mains with her during her school year They left on the Cottage City.

three inches long and in places can be
taken up by the shovelful Willows

grasshopper in earlier years.

tie girls, aged 10 and II years, daugh-
tiers of Israel lebanon. farmer, saved
a Southern railway train from disas-
ter at noon. The rain was pouring
down in torrents. The girls were
watching the storm and saw a trestle
near the house give way. They rushed
from the house and ran a mile to the
nearest station to apprise the agent of
the danger. Several times they had to
wade streams waist deep. but pushed
bravely on. The agent had just time
to raise the danger signal when the
southern train, containing 900 passen-
gers coming to Birmingham on an ex-
cursion from Columbus, Miss, dashed
into view.

MUST NOT STOP MAIL CARS.
Injunction Is Issued Against the Strikers
I'm ST. Louis.

Injunction Is Issued Against the Strikers
in St. Louis.
st. Louis, Mo-, June 26.-Judge Ell
mer B. Adams of the United States
district court granted a temporary in
junction in the case of w. D. Mahon
and all the members of division No.
131 of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees of America,
restraining them from interfering in
any way with the running of mail cars
over the lines of st. Louis Transit
company. None of the defendants was
present. They were represented by w.
S. Anthony, while District Attorneys
Hitchcock and Rozier acted for the
government
In summing up the contents of the
affidavits presented AE. Anthony de-
clared that it was not shown that any
of the defendants named had been
guilty of lawlessness. ION the con-
trary,' he added, 1.-The strike leaders
and all the members of the street rail-
way mems union have counseled law
and order. The Transit company is
not responsible, perhaps, for the un-'
settled conditions which existed. 1t is
the union men who have been made
to suffer and bear the brunt of ell dis
turbances. The president OF the union,
Sherman Patterson, is now dying in
the hospital as the result of being
stabbed by an assassin" At the con-
clusion Of the arguments Judge Adams
rendered his decision
Gradually the mystery of the nu-
merous dynamite explosions under
cars of the ST. Louis Transit company
and the alleged plot to blow up the
bridge of the company over the river
Des Peres is being unraveled.
The police authorities are inclined to
believe that by following certain clews
given by Nathan j. Farrand, Transit
company detective, they may be able
to prove that at least some of the
actual dynamiting was done by per-
sons in the employ OF the company,
but in order to enhance the reputation
of the Transit detectives by giving
them opportunities to make pretense
of doing Sherlock Holmes work.
Mayor Ziegenhein stated he would
issue proclamation forbidding tho
use of fireworks of any description in
st. Louis on July 4 on account OF the
strike He announces his decision this
early in order that the merchants may
protect themselves by not laying in a
large supply.
