The next applicant had been asked about
the opportunities for obtaining an educa-

Cure For Insomnia.

I suppose all of us are suffering from the invasion of electricity. My old friend Bounce, who was victim of in- somnia for 40 years, thinks he sleeps now better than any other man on earth. He lost his way In the Adiron- dacks and staid overnight in the cabin of forester. His sleep was the deep sleep of just man made perfect. and In the morning he found that he had not moved half an inch all night.
 "It's the insulation" the forester in uisted. "You city folks are killin your selves with contact. If you'll break the contact you'll be able to sleep and get your nerves back"
 This matter of "contact" was finally explained to mean that our bedposts are in contact with the floors, the floors with the walls and the walls with mother earth, so that whatever personal magnetism a man has in him goes away in the nighttime, leaving him like a log on his mattress. The forester had obtained four glass insu- ators from telegraph poles somewhere and screwed them on the posts of his guest bed, so that the electricity could not run away. Bounce the very day he got home insulated his bed, and from that moment to the present his insom- nia has been banished. - New York Press.

Up-to-Date Royal Laundry.

The Royal Laundry, the oldest insti- tuition of its kind in Skagway is now ready to do big business.
 Up to several months go it was turn ing away work, and the proprietor, seeing the great crush of business struck brilliant idea and immediately ordered new machinery
 This at last arrived, and now the Royal is the most up-to-date and thor, oughly efficient place north of Seattle
 A steam washer and extractor, the first one ever brought to Alaska has T place in this laundry. and Mir Royal states that with ease he can now wash one hundred shirts in an hour. Of course, he states, that there are not enough shirts to keep him employed all the time, but he can handle other articles in just the same manner. Mir Royal wants it understood that hand ling articles with such speed does not in the least injure them. and they come out of the wash as white as snow.
 Mir. Royal has not only been fortu- nate in getting up-todate machinery but he has also secured the services of competent and experienced machin- ists. E. C. Shearer, for a long time engineer at Iliff's sawmill, is now at the Royal Laundry, and A. J. Achison, the oldest laundry man in Alaska, has also contracted with Mir. Royal.
 With new machinery and experi cnced men, a combination of thinpS ie presented that is hard to be beaten.

The Cost of Cutting an old Atlas.


 In the state department at Washing ton is the most comprehensive and complete set of atlases and maps to be found anywhere in this country. AS can be readily appreciated, they are vitally necessary to the carrying on of the department and therefore neither trouble nor expense is spared in keep ing them constantly up to date. It would be supposed that their extreme value and importance would be patent to every one.
 Some years ago, however, one of the most valuable atlases was found with two of the maps cut out The maps had not been abstracted. They had simply been detached from the bind ing. Investigation proved the mutila- ton to he the work of a certain clerk, who on being hauled up by his superior explained why he had done 1t as fol- lows:
 "Those books are terribly heavy and hard to handle, and so I cut the maps out in order to get at them easier. The aliases were very old, and l didn't sup pose they were of any value or that any one would care"
 To the state department an atlas Is like bottle of wine to judge of fine drinks-its value increases in direct ratio with it's age. It was felt in the department that that particular clerk had mistaken his calling in life, and to him was accordingly given an opportu- nity to pursue another one.-New York Tribune.

STAKfD IN THt DARK
A rrenchman Discovered a Rich Placer Claim Below Se1kirk and His Friends Were Foresta11ed Before They Could Get In on the Ground Floor.

There is often slip between a pros. pect and the office of record. as was evidenced by the experience ten days ago of a Frenchman named Julian Mascot, who located a claim few miles below Selwyn and took out gold which assayed SIS to the ounce. Mas cot prospected creek seven miles this side of Island Point, on the C. D. trail last fall, and desiring to be unusually foxy in the matter of making claim to it, did not place it upon record until week ago last Tuesday. On that day he mushed up to Selkirk Chat be- ing the nearest office of record) and made good his title to what is DOW known as discovery claim on Mascot creek, on the left bank of the Yukon a few miles below Selwyn. He had a number of friends whom he desired to let in on the ground floor, after he made his own claim solid and intended on Wednesday to give them chance to stake the balance of the creek.
 There is a telegraph operator at Sel- kirk, and he happened to be in the of flee Of the recorder when Mascot put his clai mon record As is often the case, the operator tipped the new find off to the operator at Selwyn, and at midnight a stampede followed. Twen- ty-nine men from Selwyn and vicinity started for the Mascot location before the hour of daylight on Wednesday, and by the time Mascot and his friends reached the creek on Thursday the en- tire stream had been staked from one end to the other.
 When the C. D. stage passed the creek ten days ago there was a small city of tents on the location, and Mas, cot came to the conclusion that it is always best to locate a placer claim at once that it is found instead oi waiting until a favorable opportunity arrives to let ones friends on the in side. Mascot did not get down to bed rock before the mantle of snow coy cred Up the digging, but believes that the creek is going to prove rich one One of the drivers for the C. D. Go was on the ground before daylight on the day following that on which Mas, cot recorded his find at Selkirk, and he has already been offered $500 fol his rights in the premises.

The Pleasures of Old Age.

No sane man would like to live his life over again. It Is astonishing how the ordinary affairs of life seem to adapt themselves to your added years. Ones pleasures are quieter, but quite as enjoyable. To live in the lives of your children, to watch their progress, the development of their minds, is one great source of pleasure. Then one has music, reading gardening, etc. May also add that l took the advice of an old friend some years ago who said the two things most likely to give pleasure in declining life were to learn whist and to play the vloloncello "A Man of Sixty In Spectator.

CONVICTED WRONG MAN
J ury Became Confused At the Nook
 Trial Last Night.

The mock trial at the Y M C. A Hall last night was indeed laughsble affair. George E. Henton and wife were called before Judge Moore on a charge of bribing the judges of last Monday nights debate. E. Ruud con. ducted the prosecution, and the prison CTS were ably represented by Judge Sehlbrede
 E. T. Pope, foreman; Miss Sehlbrede Mrs. T. Luke, F. E. Warner and w. C. Blanchard were selected as the jury.
 The prosecution attorney selected his authority from an immense pile oi books, and the attorney for the de. fense was we'll 'heeled" with 45-cali- Der Colts and an almanac.
 The clerk of the court, w. w. Shorthill, was accused of assisting Judge Sehlbrede to bribe the jury, and that body during the confusion thai followed brought in a verdict convict ing Charles Ruud, the prosecuting at torney of piracy and selling fish on the street without a license

LOCAL MEN ARE NAMED
Crown Prosecutor F. c. Wade, Gov ernor Ogilvie's Greatest Enemy, Possibility Governor Says He Don't Know and Don't Care May Come From the Outside.

For the past year the principal sub Ject for discussion in Dawson was when would Governor Ogilvie resign but since he rendered his resignation some little time ago the chief theme of political discussion is the possibli- ties for his chair. Recent arrivals from the interior say that this ques. tion IS causing much comment, and there is lots of secret work going on In country like the Klondike, to stand right in politics and have some finger in the governmental pie, means nothing less than a fortune.
 Some have been reported to know just who is to get the plum, but wher the rumors have been investigated and run to earth it has been learned that the men who started the reports had spoken of certain ones merely as pos. abilities.
 It was reported shortly after Gov ernor Ogilvie's resignation that Mr. Girouard, registrar for the territory. now visiting in the East, had received the appointment. Inquiry among those who had had something to say in spreading the report revealed nothing more than that it had been said cer- tain public men here had gathered the idea from friendly tips that Mr. Cir ouard was to return commissioner and were preparing for the change but beyond that all was rumor, Or the other hand, it was stated that letter had been received from the East from Mir Girouard, in which he stated he intended to return as registrar.
 Among those who are commonly mentioned as out for the commission ership are F. C. Wade, crown prosecu. tor, the greatest political enemy of Governor Ogilvie in the district, and Justice Dugas, but nothing authentic to that effect has been learned.
 Governor Ogilvie knows nothing as to who will be his successor. He says it is none of his affair as to who shall take the seat after him, and therefore he takes no part in the speculation. Some think the new commissioner will come from the outside, and some have expressed the idea that it would likely be better to have a man not entirely new to the people of the territory.

LOCATED Al TIDEWATfR
The People Interested Are Tacoma
 ites-The Mineral Is Said To Be the Pacific COast-Good Things Will Be Made Out of Discovery.

Something new in the history of mineral finds on the Pacific coast has been discovered in Chichagof island Go miles west of Juneau, in the shape of a large deposit of gypsum. The find has been made by a Mir. Rine hart of Tacoma, who made the discov- cry about a year ago ,and in connec- ton with the Washington Mining & Real Estate Company of Tacoma. Is making arrangements to begin devei- opment work.
 The interests in the property arc all held by Tacoma people, and George P. Wright, one of the principal persons interested, says it is the only discovery of gypsum that has ever been made on the Pacific coast. The property is one-fourth of mile from tide water, and the land between the shore and the ledge is heavily timbered with large trees.
 Geologists and mineralogists have searched the coast in years past to find deposit of this character, but were unsuccessful.
 The fertilizing grade of gypsum is in good demand in California, where there is extensive use for it for the purpose of fertlizing vineyards and fruit ranches. There is said to be no other fertilizer equal to gypsum for vineyard purposes. The higher grades of gypsum are used for plaster of par is, statuary work and such things.
 The excellent quality of the gypsum found on Chichagof island with the close proximity of the deposit to tide water, it is prophesied, will make it a good commercial proposition, as it can be mined and shipped on vessels at a very small cost per ton. The owners of the property have sent samples of the gypsum to chemists for analysis.
