The complete and accurate account of the peculiar hearing given John Kennedy, charged with rape, as published in the DAILY ALASKAN yesterday morning, was the talk of the town yesterday.
 The enterprise of the DAILY ALASKAN in refusing to be shut out of legitimate news story was generally commented upon and praised. So many business men and prope rtv owners of the city who read the account have volunteered to sign Kennedy's bond that his friends are satisfied that the defendant will be released tomorrow.
 One prominent business man sent word to friends of the prisoner, whom he had never seen, to put him down for $500 on a bail bond. And it is understood that it will require only short time to have the bond prepared and secure the required sig natures.
 I. N, Hull and his wife have secured reservations on the Senator and will go to Juneau on that craft. It is said they go to appear before the grand jury, which is now in session in that city, in order to give tes- timonv that will result in an indictment at this term of court,

Advertising the Country.

The DAILY ALASKAN is too modest to assert that it has done more to ad- vertise Skagway and Alaska to the out side world than any other influence; It is content to leave its work to speak for itself-especially in regard to our an nual edition. That so many of our merchants are advertised through beautiful half tone pictures of their stores or of themselves is largely due to the persuasive ability of Mr, E. A.. Chantler, the special solicitor for this edition, and we feel confident that his patrons will be satisfied with the re sult

CRIMINAL CAPTURED.
A Negro Arrested in Salisbury for a
Crime Committed Twenty-Four
Years Ago.

Sheriff E. D. Anderson, of Lafay-
cite county, Mississippi, arrested
one Armstead Tankelstry, colored !,
at Salisbury, Thursday, September
26th. Tankelstry was sentenced to
the Mississippi penitentiary for life
in 1877 for criminal assault upon
white girl near Oxford. He made
his escape, was recaptured and es-
capped again IN August, 1878. Moth
ing further was heard of him or his
crime until the arrest at Salisbury
last week.
After his second escape, he came
to the Salisbury neighborhood I'M
der the assumed name of Andrew
Scott, and hired as farm hand to
Mr.. Robert Galloway. In 1879 he
married and made a crop on Mr..
Galloway's place. Afterwards he
was employed by Mr.. H. B. Wright
for several years and finally opened
blacksmith shop at Salisbury,
which trade he followed for the past
eight or ten years. He was good
workman, a brickmason and an all
around handy man. He had great
influence among the negroes and
was looked upon as leader of his
race in the community.
1t was thought by great many
people of Salisbury that he was con-
nected with the several safe robber-
les committed there within the past
seven or eight years in fac!, he
was arrested once, charged with
safe robbing, but for lack of suffi
cient evidence to convict he was re-
leased.
When arrested he claimed that he
had fifty or sixty dollars hidden,
but he refused to tell his wife or
anyone else where it was.

Negro Indicted for Numbering VIM
Lewark Held in Minnesota.


Sheriff Summons received a tele-
gram Saturday night from the Chief
of Police of st. Paul, Mimi, asking
if one Henry Somers, colored, was

nesota official was wired to hold the

Sheriff Sammons left on Monday
night for Nashville to procure requi-
sition papers, and is now en- route
to st. Paul.
1t will be remembered that on the
night Of November 1, 1900, William
Lewark was Drained with an ak at a
negro house in West Bolivar and
died few days afterwards. Henry
Turner, Narcissus McNeal, Fran lis
McNeal, and Mat Shorty were ar
rested on suspicion, tried and COM
mitted to Jail. At the January term
Of Circuit Court, 1901, indictments
were found against Henry Turner
and Mat Shorty and also Henry
Somers. In the meantime Somers
left the community. Turner and

could take a bottle of the remedy

General Crop Conditions.
For week ending Monday Septem

For week ending Monday Septem-
Der 80, 1901.
Ideal fall weather prevailed gen.
orally throughout the week until the
28th, when gentle rain fell over a
large portion of the state. For the
rapid and favorable progress of all
kinds of farm work the week was
one of the best in the enti:.. eason,
and farmers took full advantage of
it f; as result, the usual work of
the season, such as gathering and
housing crops, blowing and prepar-
ing for the fall seedlings, and seed
ing wheat, is, perhaps, farther ad-
vanced than it has been at this time
for many years. Cutting early corn
for winter forage is nearly finished;
late corn is maturing finely, as a
rule. Cotton is opening slowly, as
rule, and picking is being kept well
up with it; the yield is far from sat
isfactory. Large quantities of fod
der and hay of various kinds-pea-
vine, crab grass, millet, etc.--were
saved IN good condition., and with
the excellent pasturage now at hand
and available, there is reason to be-
lieve that live stock will enter the
winter Ieriod in good condition.
Late unmatured crops are reported
in good state of growth and devel-
opment; the second crop of Irish
potatoes is reported very promising;
sweet potatoes have had too much
vine growth; turnips have good
stands generally and are growing
well. The work of making sorghum
progressed favorably. Reports from
a few sections indicate that army
worms are injuring young clover
and meadow grass. Apples are re-
ported scarce in most sections.
