Douglas Wins.

"It's long road that has no turn" and the Douglas ball team has come to the turn in the road. After long period of disappointment and repeated defeat, they are now the declared cham pions of S. E. Alaska, having beaten everything in sight.
 First came the game with the Ju- neau Tigers, the irresistibles from the Capital city. They were sent back to their lairs in very lamblike frame of mind. Then came the Fourth of July game at the Douglas grounds with the Treadwell team, and victory again perched upon the New Town banner. The climax was reached in the defeat of the Ketchikanders, who were the vic- tors in game with Juneau. This event took place last Sunday at the Ju- neau grounds.
 The Douglas boys went into the game with very exalted idea of the Ketchi- kaners, but were determined to give them at least run for the money.
 In the first inning Ketcbikan was re- tired with a goose egg, and Douglas took run. In the second Hetchikan got another one of those things and Douglas took good marks. This raised the hopes of the boys and Douglas
  stock stood at par. In the third, Ket- chikan captured and Douglas one. In the fourth Ketchikan made4, and ? in the fifth and the interest became in- tense from that on until at the end of the Sth inning the score stood 10 to 13 in favor of Douglas. But Ketchikan in the first half of the 9th smashed out 4 runs taking the lead by one, and it was up to Douglas to do something. Then with two men on bases, Fred Pur- inton found the ball and knocked it over into the vegetable gardens and while the noble Ketchikaners were out after it the three Douglasites trotted home and that ended the misery.

Mrs. Ellen G. Bach.

DIED, at Douglas City, Alaska, Satur- day, July 4th, 1903, Ellen Gracia below ed wife of Frank Bach, mother of Le- nora, Alice, Frankie and Cecil Bach, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. J. J. Cal houn, sister of Mrs. Ed. Webster, Frank and Carl Calhoun, native of OakfieId, Wisconsin, aged 34 years, II months and days.
 The funeral services were held at Odd Fellows Hall, on Monday, July 9th, at ? p. m.. Rev. Thomas Coyle oft1ciat- ing.
 In life there is always both pain and pleasure. When on the evening of the Fourth of July, it became known that Mrs. Bach, the wife of our honored Mayor, was dead, the joys of the cele- bration of the nations birth were re- placed by feeling of sadness for the loss of one who had for so many years been part of the social life of the community.
 Ellen Gracia Calhoun was born. at Oakf1eld, Wisconsin, August 1st, 1868. On Sept. 17th, 1888, she arrived in Ju- neau, with her parents and brother and sister. On August 1st, 1889, she became the wife of Frank Bach, of Douglas. With the exception of but a few months, her entire married life was spent in this city. Six children, three boys and three girls, came to bless their home. One boy and one girl were taken from the little flock, and the other four are left to comfort the sor- row stricken father. They are Lenora, aged 12, Alice, aged Il, Frankie 21a and Cecil little over year old.
 The aged parents, the sister and brothers, the husband and little motherless children are bourne down by their sorrow, which is shared by the people of both Juneau and Douglas Island.
 On Monday afternoon large con- course of people assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to the de- parted. The,day was perfect one, and the sun shone with it's brightest rays as the funeral train wended it's way to the Douglas cemetery, where, amid flowers, and with many tears, all that was earthly of the loved one was given back to mother earth.

A Challenge.

Mir. Zivko Perovich was one of the con. testants in throwing the 16 pound shot in Douglas, on the Fourth. Because of overstepping the line his throw which was long one, was ruled out. He is now willing to enter into acontest with any man on Douglas Island and will wager any amount from $50 to $500, the shot to be thrown from behind plank or some other obstruction. Any man who thinks he can put the shot is in vited to call at the Slovenian Saloon Douglas.

The city council met Monday even ing, and in consideration of the sad be- reavement that had come to the home of Mayor Bach, simply adopted the fol- lowing resolutions and adjourned:
 RESOLUTIONS.
 WHEREAS, It has pleased a mysterious Providence to remove by death the wife of our esteemed citizen and Mayor of Douglas City, Frank Bach, therefore be it
 Resolved, That the city council of the City of Douglas extend to Mayor Bach and the members of his family their most sincere sympathy in their affliction, and
 Resolved, That copy of these reso- lutions be spread on the minutes of this council, and copy be presented to our honored Mayor.
 Passed and approved this 9th day of July, A. D. 1903.
 A. MURRAY, Acting Mayor. Attest: JOHN HENSON, Clerk.
 Mir. Adam Hopp, who has been ill the past week, is much improved at this writing.
 The wife and family of Dan Kelly will depart shortly for Port Angeles, Wash, where they will make their home.
 The best thing that could happen to this part of Alaska would be for us to find out just how much authority is vested in the city councils of the in corporated towns.
 Mir. Rustic, who operates the Juneau Dispatch, is a wise young man, and now that the Fourth of July is over has already begun to stick in his oar for a union celebration next year. He is very cute. His tremendous effort to draw the crowds away from Douglas on the Fourth, to witness the Juneau ball game, did not fail to attract attention, but it did fail to take something like I500 of the people away from the Doug las Island celebration.

The Wrangell Sentinel said last week: Douglas will celebrate the 4th and Bro. Hopp sends the Sentinel man an invite to be there. Like to do it, Bro. Hopp; but as Wrangell will "tear bone out on that date, it is necessary that we plant our feet on this rock and shout .'sic semper McGinnis, Erin go Braugh hyu skookum, klos illihee," or words to that effect.

 Sermon subject in the Congregation al church next Sunday night: "Is it Necessary Man should Worship Per soual God?" The male quartette will sing good gospel music. A cheering, inspiring service of an hour. Come out and start the week right. Every body always welcome at this church.
 Mir. Carl H. Strom has severed his connection with the Douglas Steam Laundry and will leave Alaska for the benefit of his health, which has been very poor ever since a severe attack of grippe last winter. MT. A. G. Johnson is now sole proprietor of the laundry. Mir. Strom is bright young business man and we hope that with change of climate, good health and good fortune may be his.
 Gov. Jno. G. Brady preached at the Congregational church last Sunday evening His subject was "Work," and the Governor consumed the most of the time in telling the people that work was good thing whether you liked it or not. He then branched off on what he calls his "hobby," and told his hear CTS to marry and get them homes ot their own. The house was we'll filled and the attention was good, notwith standing the fact that the church was quite too hot for comfort.
