WANT A CHANGE

The people of Nome are making a hard fight against the reapPointment oI Gov. Brady. They are alive to the necessity of having aman iu touch with modern Alaska in the executive chair, They want someone at the helm who understands that this district has emerged from the time when the mis- sionary and the Indian were the chief factors in the country.
 Alaska is on the threshold of great career. Already it is contributing mil lions in gold and food fish and turs to the wealth of the nation, and iJ is pro- viding prosperous homes iOy constantly increasing thousands of happy people. Alaska is civilized and used to the wsys of civilization. It is in step and marching. full swing, with the pro gressing peoples of the world. To keep in the advauceof the procession, the po- sition to which its resources and the character of its population gives 1t tit,e. ft is necessary that all obstructive dead weight be thrown aside. It is unfair to handicap a community Of much promise that has just learned to walk the brisk pace of the Twentieth century. The first duty of the federal government to Alaska is to cut the cords that are serving to hold it back in the race toward the newer and bet ter things. One of the most irksome of the ties that bind the district to the dead past is Gov. Brady. The tie should be severed, and the fact that Nome is alive to thenecessity, speaks we'll for the enlightenment and pro gressiveuess Of the population of that place.

Another Brand of Strike

The Council City & Solomon River railroad has a small strike on it's hands a. Dixon. Anchored of Solomon is a schooner loaded with coal for the rail road and it is over this coal that the trouble occurred. The lOugshoremer claim that they are the only ones enti' tied to handle the ships cargo and the railroad people believe that they have an equal right to employ whom they please. At all events the coal remain: on the schooner and meanwhile the longshoremen demand the right to uL' load it and want sl an hour for the work.

THE Brixton Burglary as presented
for the first time at the East Lake Casino
by the Walter Edwards Stock company
last night proved to be a most entertain
ing comedy, Astounding In humorous sit
uations, full Of witty lines and above all
free from Objectionable features. There
is not suggestive line in the play. 1t
is pure comedy from beginning to end
and has already made hit with the pat
rons of the Casino. In fact THE Brix-
ton Burglary bids fair to prove more
popular than 1.-THE Sign of the Four"
which was the offering for the first part
OF the week.
The action Of the play centers about a
young husband who goes out for a. lark
In the absence of his wife, his father
in-law, who is also inclined to be gay
when his wife is not looking and the
trouble they both fall into by trying to
explain how they happened to be away
from home until an early hour In the
morning. The servants get wind of the af-
fair and Burglary committed in the
neighborhood Of Brixton during the night
brings about all kinds of complications.
A policeman and a detective must be kept
In the dark while the harassed young
husband and his father-in-law are try
ing to explain matters to the ladies,
with the assistance of James, the butler
end Petunia, the maid. both OF whom
are In the plot.
Comical situations succeed each other
in rapid succession, the festive husbands
get tangled up In their explanations, the
servants tumble into all kinds of scrapes
and a comedy of errors Is the result. For
three acts the fun continues fast and
furios until matters are finally straighten-
ca out and everybody is forgiven. The
play Is sparkling and presented so clever
" that it is sure to draw good houses
Tor the remainder of the week
The Walter Edwards company is well
balanced and tho various members ac-
Quilted themselves with credit last night.
Mr.. Edwards played Septmus Pontifex,
the young husband, in his usual finished
manner. lie Is very smooth and pleas
ing actor. Mr.. Richard Cochrane as
Frazer Green, the father-in-law, also In
not water, was very amusing MIR. Frank
Sylvester as James, tho valet was good
put the hit of the evening was made by
MISS Daisy Lowering as Petunia Perkins.
the housemaid. She evoked many hearty
laughs by her Cockney mannerlsms and
oroll sayings. All the other members of
the company We're pleasing and the per-
1ormance was carried out with the dash
ard sparkle necessary to a good produce

AFTER MANY WOMEN,
Police Are ArrestIng Them When
There Is Suspicion.

The police department is very active
now In Riding the city OF many white
women who walk the streets and who are
thought to be of loose characters. About
fifty of these women have been arrested
and carried before Judge Feagln and
fined.
In the past year there have been a
great many of these women to come to
the city. and some of them have engaged
board In respectable families and nice
neighborhoods, and Chief Wier is catch
ing them and making them leave the city.
Raids have been made on several houses
frcquented by these women, and frequent
ly men have been arrested with them As
result there have been some rather ex-
citing scenes in Judge Feag1n.s private
office, snd also the office of Chief Wier
Among those arrested In some of these
houses have been young girls, whose pa
rents i've In Birmingham. When the con-
QUOT of their dat ghters has become known
to the parents they have come to Judge
Feagin and plead with him to be merci-
ful on the girls. lie has insisted that
they come to court and answer when
their names were called. but he has al
lowed them to have the cases tried in his
office and not in open court
In one case an aged father begged Judge
Feagin not to make his daughter come to
court, but the judge insisted that she
must come, so the father sent her out OF
the city and paid the amount OF her bond.
lie begged Judge Feagin on Bonded knee
for his daughter. saying she had come to
him on her knees, confessed to him that
she had done wrong.
When a mother learned Of her daugh-
ter's actions, she suffered a stroke Of
'apoplexy and for the past two days has
been in a semi-conscious condition at the
Hillman hospital. One side is entirely
useless. and she will never recover the
effects of It.
The police are attempting to protect
these girls as much as possible, aud every
chance is being given them to reform.
When they arc caught, they are carried
to their parents If they have any in the
city, and otherwise they are carried be-
fore Judge Feagin and fined. The police
claim that too many young girls are be-
ling led astray and too many women are
coming to the city, and Chief Wier has
detailed Policeman Nhaley to attend to
this work. On one raid of house several
days ago eight couples were arrested.
and in one of two instances the girls are
of rather nice families in the CITY.
