K|RKMAN A DEGENERATE
CAPTAIN FROM FORT NlOBRARA
WHO DESERTED.
FRIENDS HOLDING THE SACK
Went to New York and Bought Dia-
mond Ring on False Paper - He
Came From Fine Old Army Stock
But Went to the Bad.

Captain Kirkman, formerly in com
mand of company |, Twonty-ilfth In
rantry, L. S. A., stationed at Fort
Niobrara. Ncb., and who Is now under
guard, like common soldier, in the
east, had gay time at the post be-
fore he deserted and has, it is said,
left number OF the officers of the
post holding the sack
Captain Kirkman is pronounced by
his associates to be degenerate of
the worst type. Stories of his mis-
deeds and carOusals at the post are
sensational in the extreme. He
worked all sorts of tricks by means
of which to secure money from his
fellow men.
Kirkman comes from a very veal
thy family in the east and from army
stock. His father was a colonel in
the regular army and his brother
who proved as much a degenerate in
| some ways as this One-was in the
army, also.
Because of the wealth behind him,
| bankers and business men cashed
! Kirkman's paper for large amounts.
But the family quit backing him and
of late his drafts had been returned
uncashed. On several occasions he
was only saved from disgrace earlier
in the game, because his fellow Off
cers-Lieutenant Mapes, who is well
known here, being among them-went
into their pockets and helped him out.
1t is said that before Kirkman left
the post, he told a woman that he
would never come back--that he was
gone for good. He was captain of the
company of which Lieutenant Mapes
is second in command.
Desertion by an officer is an extra
ordinary proceeding.
Recently it is said that Captain
Kirkman went into a New York store,
where he owed an account. II want
to pay my BILL" he is quoted to have
said, "and to buy a new diamond
ring" He bought it and gave draft
on his relatives which later came back
unpaid.
Kirkman's sister married James S.
Kirk, the much advertised soap man
ufacturer, and later secured divorce.

 We inclose a donation for that fam ous Meal Tub, most cheerfully. All look forward eagerly to read the news from our dear Alaska friends. While not wishing to again brave the climate of Southeastern Alaska, we would like so much to see and visit with many that are still residing there. Southern California is all right in regard to climate. Today is perfect type of summer weather. We often wish you could enjoy some of the sunshine, frag- rant breezes and sweet perfume of flowers that we revel in here. It is certainly appreciated by us, after re- siding two and a half years in rainy country.
 Winter bonnets are not a source of much concern to the ladies in Southern California, as summer hats and dresses are worn as much as the heavier ones.
 Some people have gardens growing and expect to have new peas from their own patches for Christmas dinner Roses and many kinds of flowers are blooming. Flowers of various kinds are in bloom the year round.
 Mir. Carpenters health has improved and he is now strong and vigorous. He has gone out to the desert, about 25o miles away, to build stamp mill and tram for a gold inning company.
 We were delighted to see Mir. and Mrs. BarnhilI. Their visit was very short but we hope they will stay longer the next time they visit Southern Cali ] fornia. We would certainly be glad,

The Douglas Opera House was crowd ed Thanksgiving evening by those anX- ious to witness the mask ball and the boxing contest. In the latter Louis Long quickly succumbed to the vigor- ous tactics of Joe Griffo.
 The damage to the Seattle was not as great as reported last week. She was injured, but the officers were victims of a very bad scare. After that had sub- sided they got her off, and completed the run to Skasway and then headed for the Sound.
 On Saturday afternoons, Manager Olson. of the Douglas Palm Garden, gives the children a treat. They are allowed to fill the hall, with their happy, fresh faces, and while listening to the music and viewing the moving pictures they are refreshed with soda pop.
 Last Sunday, a committee from the Juneau chamber of commerce came over to Douglas Island to consult with Superintendent Kiazie, and represent atives of Douglas City, in regard to the establishment of uniform time for the cities of Gastineaux channel Sun time was finally decided on.

It was Cowper who wrote, "I would not enter on my list of friends, though graced with polished manners and fine sense, yet wanting sensibility, Che man who needlessly sets foot upon a worm."
 The business of the city, transacted by the council Monday evening con- sisted mainly in the payment of the following bills: City Transfer Co.,, S1O.75; Frank Bach, 820O, Fred SchuIer, $500. The bill of Geo. E. James & Co.,, for lumber, was laid over, awaiting the report of the committee on streets and public property.
 The Record Miner, this morning, states that Judge Day has made a spec iaI recommendation for a police system for Alaska, modelled on the plan of the Forest Rangers. This is very urgently needed, he contends, as a lack of ade- qaate patrol is an invitation to crime. We also suggest that an Anti Horse Thief association be formed to look after the Wyoming gang.
 Mr. and Mrs. T. s. Noonan, of Tread we'll, entertained a number of friends at a Thanksgiving dinner last Thurs day evening. Those present were Mir. and Mrs. Day, Mir. and Mrs. Landsburg MT. A.

 The Russian-Jap war has reached Douglas Island. The baker at the Treadwell boarding house is a captain of the Japanese reserves, and has re- ceived orders to report for duty. When his countrymen found that he must go, they raised a purse of S45O for him, gave him a swell banquet and hired the Douglas Harmony Band to serenade him. He will start on the first boat to leave for the Sound.

SMILES AND GLADNEss.

There was a man who smiled Because the day was bright; Because he slept at night;
 Because God gave him sight To gaze upon his child!
 Because the little one
 Could leap and laugh and run; Because the distant sun Smiled on the earth, he smiled. He toiled and still was glad Because the air was free; Because he loved, aud she That claimed his love and he Shared all the joys they had! Because the grasses grew; Because the sweet winds blew Because that he could hew And hammer, he was glad. Because he lived. he smiled, And did not look ahead
 With bitterness and dread, But nightly sought his bed As calmly as a child.
 And people called him mad For being always glad
 With such things as he had, And shook their heads and smiled.
