A gang OF bogus check artists

gang, two men and one woman.

vey House. one man at the Park
House and the other at the Hotel

the appearance of being prosper

as horny-handed son Of toll. He
claimed to be in the employ OF
c. D. Amos. and presented checks
for various amounts signed by that
gentleman. He succeeded in CASH
ing one check at McCarty &
Athens. one at Grant Harbour's,

MAY BE USEFUL TO ALASKA

Much political capital adverse to PreSi- dent Roosevelt Is being made out of his decision in the Sampson-Schlev eontro- versv. Several of the presidents appoint ments, made with total disregard to power full machines will of course cut consider able figure In his political eareer The president Is not cautious. He Is neither smoothe. oily nor trueusnt, without his limitation to accomplish a erafty de- sign. But he is bold, honest and autaei- ously independent. The American people admire all these traits. They have never been satilt,d with them, however, and [, Is quite possible that a man who boldly beards the powerful republican machine and popular clamOr as well, may elicit a general admiration that will clOthe him with a greater power ,hlh he has lost through a seom of truculen,ey. His simple methods of arriving at his owr conclusions and acting honestly upon them, In utter contempt of consequences, may perhaps do as much and more for him in future as the same line of action has done for him In the past. AlaskanS at any rate, regardless of political affiliations before their adyen, to this district stripped them of the rights of American citizenship, nav we'll hope for his reelection. lt Is only a man of RooSevelt'S activity that could make personal disccv.rv of the crying needs of this district and directly exert the power with which he Is q thed, to benefit what has heretofore been pasture field for the crippled steedS of pOll,IcS,

Equal to the Occasion.

A man was once given large dog to take care of by friend who was go- ing abroad. but the dog annoyed him by always sitting in his best arm chair.
 One day a splendid idea struck him. He came Into the room and found the dog in his usual seat, so he walked up to the window and called:
 Cats! Catsw
 Up jumped the dog and rushed to the window. while the man went and sat in his chair.
 A few days later the dog walked into the room while his master was sitting in his armchair. Going up to the win dow. he parked loudly.
 The man got up Co see what was the matter. and the dog rushed and se- cured the chair.

 To Q Welsh judge notorious for his great greed of office a.d his want of personal cleanliness, complaining to Jekyll as to his being neglected, the latter said in hls most amlable tones: My dear sir, you have asked the min ister for almost everything.

wh., the n.rser Pole Represents.

The barbers of long ago were barber surgeons. but the rapid advance of sur gical science has caused them to fall from their high estate. The gilt knob at the end of the barber pole of today represents brass basin, which but 8 few decades since was actually sus pended from the pole. The basin had notch cut In it to it the throat and was used in lathering the customer preparatory to shaving him. The pole represents the stan held by the patient who came 10 the barber surgeon to be bled. The two spiral stripes painted around 1t signify two bandages, one for twisting around the arm previous t) the act of phieUOtOmy, or blood iot ting. the other for binding when the operation was completed.

Velocity of MeteorIte..

The singular fact has been demon strated that while the most rapid ve- loclty of cannon balls scarcely ever attains a speed of coo meters second-- about 1.5O0 miles per hour-meteorite are known to permeate the air with a velocity of 10000 or even 60,00o meters per second.

Accident in Railway Yards.

Sunday morning about ten o'clock,
while special train was switching in
the yards Of the Chicago & North
western line, ]. o. Gustafson, a brake
man, had one foot badly mashed. He
was on the front steps Of the cabOose
and as they passed the depot he swung
himself off on the platform. His foot
slipped and he was thrown under the
wheels. The foot was BADLY crushed
and a superficial wound was received
on the leg near the knee.
He was taken to the Office of DR..
Collier, the railway physician, where
Drs. Collier and Tenant dressed the
wound and made him as easy as posi-
BILE. Gustafson showed grit although
the affair and refused to take an
an8sthetic while the dressing took
place. Some doubt was at first felt as
to the possibility of saving some Of the
toes, but Monday circulation had
returned to those injured members
and it will not be necessary to remove
any Of the foot. With good care and
time the foot will heal and be again
in condition for use.
Mr.. Gustafson is young man whose
parents reside near Arlington, and
while the accident is a serious and
unpleasant one, he is to be congratu-
lated on his escape from a more
serious injury. 1t is almost miracle
that the foot was not taken off, but
heavy shoes and the position 10 which
the wheels struck it combined to min
imize the damage, We hope he will
soon be able to resume work.
