Summer Precautions.

Summer is the time for health,
or should be for those who know
how to profit by it, yet it has
special dangers which must be
guarded against These are most
ly due to the heat, and the higher
the thermometer rises and the
longer it stays high, the greater
they are.
The chief sufferers are city
dwellers, and it is of them mainly
that one thinks in very hot wealth
er, and especially OF the poor in
the cities. They live usually IN
contracted quarters in high tene-
ments, in small, poorly ventilated,
sunless rooms; cleanliness is often
impossible to them, for even il GER
tain families are clean they suffer
from the DIRT OF their eighbors il, is
almost impossible for them to get
fresh and well prepared food; and
the walls OF their houses and the
pavements OF the streets, baked
during the day in the meIciless
sun. give out their heat like SO
many immense ovens through the
night.
This can be endured for a short
period, but as the heated term
drags on. day and night without
relief, the conditions become worse
and worse, and finally deadly.
Children, especially babies, suffer
most, but all, young and old alike,
are threatened at such a time.
The two chief ills are suustroke,
the direct result of the sitting
heat, and digestive disturbances
caused by the food which has be-
gun to spoil. Much, however, can
be done to avert these ills. Those
who are obliged to be in the
streets during the day should
carry umbrellas, and be deliberate
in their movements; the should be
lightly and loosely clad, and ab-
stemious in food and in drink.
In the house the air should have
fresh access to every part, especi-
ally to the bedrooms and living
rooms. 1t is foolish practice to
close the windows and draw the
shades, as so many do. 1t is q
fact that this often does keep the
temperature degree or two lower
than the outside air. but the con
fined air soon grows stagnant aud
unfit to breathe. Il is far better
TO have an unappreciable increase
of heat, and to have the Air fresh
and constantly changing.
Water is the great supporter in
hot weather; water internally and
water externally-not ice water.
but cool water.
Much water, little food. free air.
moderate exercise, long rests,
avoidance of the noon day sun,
and scrupnlous cIeanliness-these
are the-pseventives Of disease in
the worst Of the t0frid spells.-

 The KIondike Mines railway has ap- piled to Dawson city council for a franchise to enter Dawson. The present terminal grounds are at Klondike City, and probably will remain there. The object of the company in applying to enter Dawson is to get access to the large warehouses, sawmills, wharves and quartz mills of the city. The com pany asks to traverse the west side of First avenue, the principal street of the city, but does not desire street car privileges.

Any one who will follow his chain of argn. ment to the same conclusion, will be presented with years subscription tc the paper. It runs something like this i Many bears live on many streams and eat many salmon, say 5OO-one-half fe males, which is certainly wrong and too bad. Again, thousands of sea gulls cal millions of salmon, and the cannery men think it an injustice for the gov ernment to require them to establish hatcheries for the purpose of feedini the bears and sea gulls of Alaska. l Mir. O'Connor is really guilty, he should be investigated.

The Ladies League of the Congrega- tional church, is making elaborate prep arations for their fair, which will be held in the church parlors, on Dec. Sd and 4th. The grand opening will take place Wednesday evening. Sales will continue Thursday afternoon and even- ing. A short programme will be rem dered each evening, and no pains will be spared to make the fair success socially, and let us add, financially. There will be articles useful as we'll as ornamental, displayed at the different booths. The ladies have been doing their best to please. and no doubt you will find just what you have been want ing in the way of Christmas presents for some dear friend "down east" or some useful article that you need for your own convenience. However that may be, it will cost you only small admission fee, and you can examine the goods displayed, and make your se- lections. Refreshments will be served for a very insignificant sum. Ice cream will be extra. It is to be hoped the good people of Douglas and TreadweH will givethe ladies chance to show what they can do.
 The condition of perfect harmony that has hitherto existed between the cities of Gastineaux channel should be maintained at all hazards, and nothing should be done by any citizen to ac- centuate little differences that may arise. When the time comes that Al aska is given a delegate, Douglas Is- land and Juneau should stand as unit for man from this part of the district. Blessed by splendid location the business houses of this locality should grow up with the country, and this should be made distributing point for numberless villages and mining camps up and down the coast. Already we have the largest mines and mills of the district, and every pros pect that within few years they will be doubled. With the attendant pop ulation a vote can be cast that will be a strong factor in the dis trict. As we have said any minor mat ters that have a tendency to destroy the good feeling that exists, should be immediately stamped out and all good citizens should waive personal matters in the interest of harmony and unlGy of action when the time comes
 Judge Brown of the U. s. District court. has issued instructions to Unlted States commissioners in pamphlet form, a aopy of which has come to our no. 1 flee t is without doubt the clearest and most sensible document we have seen for some time, and if the U. 5. commissioners in this part or, Alaska will read it carefully and be governed thereby there will be no more kicking 4 abont their acts. One thing IS certain, ; and- that is the commissioners are not fooling Judge Brown. He is possessed of an insight into their doings that IS
 remarkable, and we gather from the
 general tone of his instructions that If some things are not remedIeds there will be a crowd of ex-s looking Tor a iob. It is to be hoped that the doc
 ument will have salutary effect.

Thompson, of South Dakota, attacked
DR.. Stewart, of Omaha, but he COM
mitted an error of judgment in doing
so, for when the Doctor had finished
with Mr.. Thompson the latter thought
he had undergone an operation for
appendicitis, and had also been run
through a stone crusher, for the ribs
down one side were all fractured.
The Doctors then directed their atten-
tion to Hanson, of Dakota, and sue
ceeded in effecting compound frac-
ture of the tibia. The umpire did not
escape the experiments Of these dem
onstrators of anatomy. He received
left hook on the jaw for calling one
of the players liar. The regular
teams did not supply sufficient
amount of material, and the reporter,

It is said that the Duke of Yelling

more strenuous that after young
man has graduated, he is apt to be
overeducated to the extent of being SO
crippled that he can fight no more.
The life at our noble institutions OF
learning, as described by George AIDE

how the higher education is attained

The DECAY OF MANNERS.

We rush through life in such a
hurry these days that there is little
time or thought for the refinement
and courtesies that in the good old
days of our grandparents were con-
sidered necessary to good manners.
The man or woman who has really
good manners, nowadays, we disuin-
guished as being of the ''old school %
Unfortunately, the old school is pass
ing away, and there is no new school
to take it's place.
We seem to be drifting into the idea
that good manners are a rather bore
some and indeflnable something in the
way of an affectation which we may
put on with our best clothes for WED
dings, parties and other such affairs
but not to be carried about with us on
ordinary occasions. We have cut II
out of business hours. We have come
to regard common courtesy as a time
consumer and a waste.
Rapid communications have cor
rupted good manners, for the speed
with which we can travel or transmit
news has aroused nervous impa'
tience of delay which is fatal to cour
tesy and manners, both in spirit and
in form.
We no longer write the good, long
warm, soul-stirring letters that were
written in the old days. Formerly
letters were dignified and interesting
but now they are neither. We i'm

quence of this public service the boy
was to be banqueted and elected class
poet. Other nights were spent in
collecting headstones and signs to dec
orata their rooms. The proud father
was greatly delighted at this oportu-
nifty of breathing the blessed air OF
higher education and of meeting those
souls who are above the sordid consid-
erations OF workaday commercialism.
He went home and assured his wife
that their son seemed to have a full
and sympathetic grasp of the true in
wardness of modern educationa

cerned. One of the strongest argur
ments in favor of the Omnibus bill has
been the fact, reiterated over and over
again that the people of the Terrific
ries are practically unanimous for it.
The first discordant note which has
been borne to the ears of Senators or
heard in conferences among our own
people, was sounded at Tucson in the
presence of Senator Beveridge and his
associates. How are these Senators
to know that the ridiculous and pre-
tentious pioneer Society" does not
represent a considerable element in
the Territory?
AS matter of fact, the amendments
suggested are all childish and cap
tious. What difference does it make
whether the constitutional convention
has thirty-six or ninty-six delegates? =?
! To be sure, the larger membership
would give better opportunities for
grafters to slip in, but these gentry
need not be altogether discouraged; !;
some of them will be elected to the
convention anyhow. And the masses
do not care copper whether Pima
county has the same number Of dele
gates as Pinal, or twice as many.
Why did the great and progressive
city of Tucson permit her few calamity
howlers to monopoliZe the ears of the
Senators?
For the information of the Phoenix
Republican and all others concerned
we desire to say that only eleven
members of the Pioneer Society par
ticipated in the meeting at which the
attempt was made to give Statehood 9
black eye. Those present at the
meeting were S. r. DeLong. Mike Nc
