Postmaster Hubbard and wife enter

Postmaster Hubbard and wife enter rained at o'clock dinner on Christmas day, MT. and Mrs. Adam Hopp, MT. and Mrs. Walter Gould, MT. and Mrs. Chas. A. Hopp and daughter Leah. After din her a real, old fashioned Christmas tree was lighted and everybody was re- mem bered with present.
 The Eagles ball on Christmas night was a very successful affair socially. Because of frozen pipes in the Nata- ], torium, it was found necessary to give the party at Ohman's hall. This being smaller, crowded matters somewhat, but did not lessen the enjoyment. Miss Ida Orenshaw, Juneau girl, carried away the s20 prize for the best dancer.
 The city council met Monday night and transacted only such business as was necessary, as the councilmen were desirous of attending the entertain ment for the benefit of the public school. Bills were allowed as follows: {: Brent Graverock, poundmaster, Sl4.Oo; Victor c. Spaulding, night watchman, 5000: M. E. church, rent of ground for hose house, s4.OO.
 The line up of the teams to play foot ball at Juneau tomorrow are as follows: O., Noonan and Insley; R, G., Eggert and Cragg; l.. G., Powell and Rapp; R.T., Johnson and Shepard; T. Cole and Bell; R. E., McKanna and Maloney; l.. B., Mccormack ane Ken nedy; R. H. B., Penglase and Casey; l.. H.B.' Warren and Langseth; Q. B., Mus eth and Gribble; F. B., Bonino and Stanley. The average weight of the Douglas team is 93 pounds while that of Juneau is 95. Notwithstanding the handicap Douglas will be in the game from start to finish.
 MT. w. A. Reed deserves credit for so successfully carrying out the plans for the formal opening of the new Y. M. c. A. Owing to the delays incident to the completion of such structure in so short time, the building was not fully completed as was intended, which did not in the least detract from the interest of the throngs of visitors that ayaiIed themselves of the opportunity to inspect the new building. Mir. Reed had worked day and night for several days prior to the opening, that every thing in his power should be done to make the interior as attractive as pos sible. He succeeded beyond his ex- pectations as was evidenced by the ex- pressions of the pleasant, agreeable crowds that were made welcome, and enjoyed treat not in the usual order. In the evening the assembly room was we'll filled, every seat being occu- pied and great number of late arriv- als were compelled to stand. "The Happy Couple" did themselves credit and were heartily applauded. MT. Reed promises number of surprises in the way of entertainment for the , supporters of the institution during
 this winter and spring.

HARRIS, SHOWS HERE.

The World Famous Nickel Plate
shows arrived early this morning, and
have pitched their tents at Nc
Grann's Park for today. They gave a
splendid street parade this morning,
which was seen by large crowds all
along the line of march. Despite
being here after a holiday, the after
noon performance was well attended,
and, not one dissenting voice could be
heard from among the large number
who attended. The educated ponies,
horses, camels and elephants give a
remarkable performance. The show
is given in one ring, where all can see
ali that takes place, and is much more
appreciated than one Of the three
ring kind. The acrobats, gymnasts,
aerialists and riders we're good. They
give another performance tonight
and those wanting to see a first class
show should not miss this one.-The

Mobile ohio Reduces Time to St. Loui.
"The Mobile & Ohio Railroad is en-
gagged in a commendable effort to an
initiate space between this city and
st. Louis, and, beginning Sunday,
August 31st, it will materially shorten
the time taken to traverse the dis
tance between the two cities by way
of Meridian. And this date, too, will
mark the Inauguration of the dining
car service la carte, on this line.
This innovation will be a welcome one
to travellers, who heretofore have
been subjected to the abOminatiOn Of
taking their meals on the catch as
catch-can plan at meal stations along
the route. Passengers, by means OF
this new service, will be enabled to
eat when they feel disposed, eat what
they want at their leisure, and pay
only for what they order, with q
choice of anything In the gastronom.
ic line from cup of coffee to din
ner in courses.
These new dining cars, by the way
will be veritable palaces, fitted witt
every possible convenience known t
modern railroad traffic. The decora'
tions are of superb order and the
cars are brilliantly illuminated will
incandescents, while plenteous sup
ply Of electric fans win keep the at
mosphere at a comfortable tempera
ture, no matter how high the mercur!
may soar outside the cars,

Medical Talk is the name of one of
the most recent of popular medical
magazines for the home before the
public today. 1t appears in a unique,
up-to date magazine cover, an orna-
ment to any library table.
Medical Talk is in the fourth year OF
it's existence and covers a field never
before accomplished in journalism.
This magazine undertakes to interpret
to the people what is going on In the
medical world as revealed by the
numberless medical journals intended
for the doctors only. II brings to the
household important facts hidden
from the people by medical technical
tiles. 1t deals in a popular way with
such questions as vaccination, sanit-
ary laws, cremation, dietary rules, and
all drugless methods of healing dis
ease.
During the past three months al
most every leading daily paper
throughout the United States and
Canada has had something to say
about Medical Talk, either editorially
or in their magazine and book depart
ment. The opinions expressed have
been of a most complimentary ma
ture.

metropolitan pleasure for EvsrybO

MstrOpOIltaa pleasure for Everybody.
Nearly every one living in this COM
munity viii doubtless want to visit
Tupelo on Monday, October 8, when
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ere great consolidated shows, COM
prising double circus, double menage-
ries, double museums, double hippo
drOmes, will appear there, giving one
performance at 10 q. N. These great
shows are the only ones that exhibit
in New York City. No others dare
even attempt to exhibit in the
metropolis. They opened this season
at the Madison Square Garden In New
York, and the newspapers, without
exception, stated that IL was the
greatest circus this country had ever
seen. The menageries contain the
greatest number of rare wild beasts
ever seen in one collection. In the
circus there are 800 star performers,
and in addition to all the standard
circus acts there are a score or more
of sensational features. There is not
space to enumerate them here, but
prominent among them may be mem
toned the world-famous Diavolo,
who performs the exceptionally won
derful feat of looping the loop on a
bicycle, an act which has astonished
the world; then there is Minting, the
unicycle marvel, the famous Aurora
Zouaves, wonderfully drilled soldiers;
Dallie Julian, the renowned eques-
trienne; twenty-th three champion bare
back riders; Starr, the shooting star,
and the ten Peerless Potters, worlds
greatest aerialists, and numerous
other great features. All lines OF
travel will offer especially low rates
of fare and provide all the necessary
accommodations for the throngs who
wish to go to see them. The agent
of these lines of travel will furnish
all necessary information as to time
of trains and rates OF fair. There il
one thing certain, and that is thai
these excursion arrangements will
enable people who live here to SEE
identically the same show and the
only one that is seen by those who
live in the metropolis.

What used 10 be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called

pelvic organs are the caE.se OF most cases

Americas great physicians % make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar 10 women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that

affection Of these organs would not be
subject TO female disease. He therefore
began using PeFuna for these cases and
