WERE SCARED
Situation Looked Too War, like for Native Women

The appearance of the transport Bu- ford and so many soldiers Thursday evening and the arrival of other ships at the same time caused considerable commotiOn among the Indians on the water front. The women became very much frightened and cried in terror as they dwelt upon the possibilities of the situation as they appealed to them.
 The Indian women could not see why Uncle Sam should send so many fight ing men and such large ship 70 Alas ka if not to exterminate the native population.
 They have become recOnciled to the situation now, because of the pacific at titude of the soldiers and the assurances of their white friends and the younger members of the tribe. ChilkOOt Jack, the white mems friend and chief among the Indians at the head of Lynn canal, was one of the principal peacenakers.

COMMON ERROR
The Same Mistake Is Made By Many
 Alaska People

It's a common error
 To plaster the aching back,
 To rub with liniment rheumatic joints,
 When the trouble comes from the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills.
 c. A. Gilson. switchman in the R. R. yards, of 12l5 Jackson street, Red Bluff, Cal, says: "For six months I knew my kidneys were in some way upset, probably weakened from the contrac- tion of cold which settled across the Joins or perhaps excited from overex- ertion. Be that as it may, when my back was aching l asked Mrs Gilson to Ego to the drug store one day for Doan's Kidney Pills and l took a course of the treatment. It stopped the backache. Up to date there has not been a symptom of a recurrence, thus proving to me eonclusively that Doan's Kidney Pills act as repre- sented."

IT DID IT'S BEST

The democratic national convention did its best when it nominated Judge Alton B. Parker for the presidency He was the logical candidate for his party's nomination until the opposition of Tammany, which under its present leadership is fairly respectable organ ization, was developed, and when that organization made peace with him, he again became the only man for the nomination.
 Judge Parker was the logical eandi- date for the reason he escaped, by req son of his judicial position, the turmoil of the great silver strife and the inter party feuds that grew out of that bitter contest, and because his party contains no abler man. He is naturally cOnserv- ssive, and vas not favorable to many of the democratic issues in 1896 and 1900, though be maintained his party regu- Iarity by voting for the national ticket and by contributing to the campaign fund of his party in both those years.
 The nomination of Judge Parker completes the issue for the campaign this year, for now the battle will be largely fought out upon the personality of Theodore Roosevelt, the strenuous president of the United States, and that of bis competitor, the eminent demo cratic jurist of New York. The fact that the federal senate is now and will remain for the next four years in the hands of the republican party removes to great extent the partisan interest in the campaign. The situation, to al great extent, resembles that of 1881, when the personality of Blaine and that of Cleveland were the principal issues. May the best man win.

NEW YORK CROWD.
Why 1t Is Unlike Crowd In Any

giants of the first Broadway squad, SO
I've had opportunities for observation.
'In the first place every child knows
that pedestrians are supposed to keep to
the right-hand side of the sidewalk. The
idea is first rate One line moving along
each side of the pavement and no coll
lisions, mix-ups or delays. In most cities
the rule Is followed. But how about New
York? Just take a glance at the throngs
on Park Row and Nassau street on the
south side of Twenty-thlrd street be-
tween Fifth and Sixth avenues, or at the
theatre district of Broadway between 8
p. m and midnight. What do you seer

not refer to authorities, but 1t is we'll
for us to know that there always have
been men who, by word and example,
tried to stem the impetuous lament of
selfishness in WHICH human life and fell
low-feeling are swept to destruction.
1t is Good, however, to find book like
THE Simple Life" so well received, as it
proves that men are more the victims of
circumstances than natural inclination.
The passengers on a train must travel at
the rate of speed which the locomotive
engineer decides upon, and is governed
by what he considers the wish of the
passengers. So is 1t with life; there are
always a few who are restless and an
xious to get ahead, and they are the ones
who set the pace who give the orders to
the engineer, and the rest are whirled
along complaining It may be- but without
protest.
The time has now come to check this
and ever-increasing speed to
steady our progress and to recognize that
there Is more in life than external .lnsel

see today is the desire for notoriety and

A "SIMPLE LIFE" CLUB

In the following letter to the editor of

Without, for a moment, attempting to
detract from the obligation society is
under to Doctor Wagner, still 1t must not
be forgotten that he has merely applied
to modern times a system of philosophy
which has existed for thousands of years.
The Stoics taught these principles both
by word and example, and the Enchir-

Christianity has always advocated the
simple life, and the ever-memorable SER
