HE'S HERE
With a Ship Load of NeWand
 Up-tO-Date Goods

Keelar arrived on the Humboldt and has brought the finest selected stock of goods that has ever been brought to Alaska. During his absence he visited all of the principal factory's in the east and has selected with great care the finest and best to be had. Ithas crowd ed every inch of space to display the new goods.
 The old reliable iewelry house is to- day palace of glittering splendor,
 The greatest stock of watches, dia- monds, clocks, silverware, cutlery, &c,, ever brought to Skagway.
 This stock was bought for spot cash which means much for the consumer as they can be sold for less money than they could possibly be sold by dealers who buy in small quantities from the jobber.
 Our watch repairing and optical de- partment is crowded with work, which speaks volumns for itself in regard to workmanship and our ability to please the people.

 Look we'll to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone with a back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from any kidney ills, will find in the following evidence proof that relief and cure is near at hand:
 James L. Scanlon, street car con ductor in the employ of the Seattle Electric Co.,, Of 16l0 Yesler way, Seat tle Wash, says: At intervals for over three years l have been annoyed with troubles from the kidneys, and suffered from severe pain in the small of my back. l railrOaded for years in the East on the Michigan Southern R, R., running between Detroit and Toledo, and since coming here six years ago l have been in the employ of the Seat tie Electric Co. II the constant skak- ing and jarring of the the cars did not bring on the trouble it probably ag gravated it. Be that as it may, during attacks I noticed that l was always worse if I contracted a cold, which set- tied in my kidneys and often kept me in continual misery. Through a very convincing ad that l saw in one of our Seattle papers l was induced to try DOan's Kidney Pills When l com menced the treatment I was in such pain across the small Of my back every every morning when I got out of bed that I could scarcely stand it, and if stopped or bent unthiukingly can only describe the twinges as excruciating Doan's Kidney Pills helped me from the start.

Charles Wesley Swishers is Marion
county's candidate for Secretary of
State. He will go before the state
convention at Wheeling as the repre-
sentative Of one of the Best counties
pates a strong and substantial sup
port. But it is not alone because Nh
Swisher comes from Marion county
that we have confidence in what the
Republicans will do for him, but he
merits their hearty support already
promised him and which he viii sure
ly get Charley Swisher is a hustler
in every sense OF the word. He is
optimistic. always looking at the
bright side OF things; generous to q
fault, he viii do anything he can fo:'
his friends and he is equally as mind
full of his enemies. He was brought
up on a farm, but rather early in his
career he began driving a mule in
coal mine. Being active, energetic
and trustworthy, he was rapidly adj
vanced. In time he became pro
moter and developer of enterprises.
He is a natural leader Of men II bus
mess as IN politics and it is no sur
prise that he has succeeded in both.
He is very popular in business and Sc
cial circles all over the State, and yet
he always remembers his friends who
toll on the farms and dig in the mines.
He began his political career as couc-
Gilman from the Fifth ward in Fair
mont. He was next elected to the
House of Delegates and later to the
Senate. His next preferment VIII IN
doubtedly be his selection as the Re
publican candidate for Secretary of
State. Marion county confidently eN-
poets the nomination of SwiSher, and
will go to the convention at Wheeling
ready to do her part TO get every
thing in shape to carry West Virginia
for the whole ticket by at least 30
900 majority this fall. We count on
Marion for over one thousand of it.

BRYAN REMAINS EogDuRATE..
Issues Statement IN: Reply to Request
That He Support Parker.

ST. LOUIS, July G.-Eliot Danforth.
accompanied by a number of&other
New Workers., made call upon he
Nebraska delegation tonight and pre-
sen1ed a formal plea for support Of
Judge Parker. Mr.. Dauforth address
ed the delegation at some length, say
ing that Judge Parker had supported
Mr.. Bryan in both his campaigns, and
that he had been the second largest
contributor to the campaign fund in
New York. He also called attention
20 his own weil-known friendship for
Mr.. Bryan, and made a personal pea
on these grounds. Mr.. Bryan, who
was present, responded TO the latter
point, saying that if Mr.. Danforth
were the candidate he would have his
support.
Early in tAe evening Mr.. Bryan
gave out the following staten ent:
Judge Parker has made no sub
stantial gains, from those who We're
counted as against him, since yester-
Gay, and the opposition has become
better crystalizeh. IN SO far as there
is any enthusiasm for Mr.. Parker. it
is due TO the belief that being the
choice OF New York. he can carry the
State, and with the State, the coun-
try. This confidence is being over
come by the protests Of the Democrats
of ;har part OF New York which is eN-
pected TO finnish the Democratic
votes. While the opposition is not
centralized upon any particular can
didate, it is an aggressive opposition.
and likely TO be recruited by acces-
Sions from the Instructed States when
it IS seen that Mr.. Parker cannot. be
nominated. The Hearst delegates
form the largest element Of the Oppo-
sition. bat Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Nassa chusetts and Delaware have
canvassed their votes to find them
with it. and it viii doubtless have
some scattering outside support.
The Illinois contest, while it was
decided for the Hopkins ticket, was
really a victory for the contestants,
because il was decided on question
of jurisdiction, and the contestants
now have behind them the unanimous
support, which declares, in effect
that frauds We're practiced in the con-
ventiGn. The contest will be renewed
before the credential committee

GRO Err
CAME IN FOR AN OVATION WHEN
hill LOOKED BORED.

ST. LOUIS, July THE name Of
Grover Cleveland, uttered merely in
passing during the speech Of John
Sharp Williams, was the electric
spark that touched off the magazine
of enthusiasm. For minutes this en-
thusiasm continued. 1t may mean
much or little but there are hundreds
of delegates and spectators who be-
lieve final stampede to Cleveland
when the balloting is reached is not
beyond proba abilities.
Dave Hills face was a study during
the demonstration. He looked as
though he had swallowed vinegar
installing it for syrup.
Their biggest outburst was reserved
for Grover Cleveland.
Mention of the Sage of Princeton
started wave of applause that
spread until it covered most OF the
floor and all the galleries. The peo-
pie on the high perches were especial
ly enthusia stic. They waved fans and
stamped and yelled. Cries of Grover
filled the air.
Cleveland men shouted to Tam
many men to join in the demonstra-
ton. but Tammany remained calm.
David B. Hill famed himself vigor-
ously and looked bored.

SWISH Err AND scr ERR.

Whoever is nominated at the
Wheeling convention next week for
Governor it looks a certainty that
Senator Charles w. Swisher, of Fair
mont, will be nominated for Secre-
tary of State, and Auditor Arnold G.
Scherr viii be nominated as his own
successor. The sentiment favorable
to these two aspirants can truthfullE
be said to be almost unanimous. Sen
ator Swisher halls from a section that
is entitled to recognition and he. him
self. merits the honor that will be
conferred upon him. Senator Swish
er is self made man-younS man,
let it be remembered-wh by the
force of his own indomnitable ener-
gies and magnetic personality has
made a most successful career for
himself in business and in politics.
A few years ago he was a miner in a
coal bank at Fairmont; now he is
one of the States prominent and most
promising young business men and
influential public officials. Auditor
Scnerr is acknowledged by all to be
the best incumbent of that Office the
State has ever had. He is as sure to
be nominated next week at Wheeling
as anything can be sure in politics.
The sentiment favorable TO him is
practically Overwhelming.-Par

In commenting on John Sharp Will
liams' speech. the Wheeling News
touches very tender spot. 1t shows
that Mr.. Williams can tear down but
is unable to build up. 1t says:
In one respect, however. Mr.. Will
lams was disappointing. He content
ed himself with being a critic, and
confined his remarks too freely to an
swering Root and discussing the Re
publican platform. He did it we'll, but
he did not offer anything definite in
return for the doctrines and policies
he denounced. He tore down the
structure reared by the Republicans
but did not build one to replace it. He
promised tariff revision and future
happiness to the Filipinos and general
honesty but he did not make himself
as clear and definite as he might have
done. In this no doubt he showed po-
ltical wisdom for none knows exactly
what the Democratic platform will
be, and Mr.. Williams does not propose
to precipitate a conflict or to burn
his own fingers. Still he might have
given the convention an idea of what
his own views were on the subject
unless it is that he is content to make
the issue simply anti-Republican.
In replying to Root and discussing
Republican shortcomings Mr.. Williams
rose to the level OF craftsmanship.
but in his failure to venture into new
fields he dropped to the level Of the
cautious politician.

better man be found as compro-
