the democratic senate withdrew it's
conference committee, thus killing
the bill.
The indignation of the laboring
men was so great that talk of violence
was heard almost everywhere and
threats of hanging democratic sena-
tors we're made. 1t was shown con-
clusively that the men who defeated
the bill had been bribed. Having
been 'defrauded of their right the
miners and millmen lost patience and
the trouble which the democrats are
now trying to use as a weapon
against the national administration
followed. 1t can be seen whether
they are telling the truth when they
attempt to hold the republican party
responsible.

GOT RICH
Former SkagWayan Made
 Quick Fortune

According to the word that comes from Dawson Capt. C. L. Peabody, formerly of Skagway, and his associates in the ownership of the Monarch made a fortune with two trips of that boat from Dawson to the Panama.
 Concerning the venture, the news of which was first published in the Daily Alaskan, the Dawson News says:
 Capt. Peabody, who origiut ted the scheme of putting the Monarch in the Panama trade, has sold his interest to his partners, Messrs, Sondheim and Dobbins. The partners disagreed, and Peabody accepted an offer to sell. He intends, he says, to take up an option on another American bottom for the same trade. Peabody got the option on the Monarch last February for S6I5O' The boat has made two round trips to Panama, and has paid for herself and left a handsome profit. It is said the receipts for the two trips aggregate SgO. GOO. This is something exceptional even in Yukon steambOating."

curtain of night came down.

She opened the door.
A goose walked in.
She started back with lifted hands.
IF you are a spirit goose, | fear

The goose gave a futter and honk
and went straight to the dough-dish,

"All the saints assemble now! This
is a miracle gOose!'
She went to the door and blew her
horn seven times. The people came
running. She seized the goose, and
set it upon the supper-table.
See, she cried, here is a goose

She looks just like the one Jack took

the room, wondering.

The ship is coming in, and the

supreme. She owes ii 10 herself to exer-
else it wisely to provide against the
worst. There are few investments that
can stand the continuous changes from
prosperity to adversely in the business
world. Life Insurance is no. affected by
the failure of the crops, over production
and the innumerable causes of depression
in financial affairs 1t is exempt from
Unsuitable creditors and is always avail
able as a collateral Women should be
provided with insurance for themselves
and their children. 1t is the only way
in which they can be protected from
misfOrtunes and unforeseen reverses of
any nature
The ablest business men in the nation
have given much thought to all the
problems involved in Life Insurance bust
ness and have evolved various schemes,
all of which are based upon absolutely
reliable principles. The business has
grown 50 enormously that unquestionable
statistics show more than nine billions
of dollars are to-day behind the policies
that are being carried by rich and poor
all over this country.
Women are not naturally systematic
in their savings. If, therefore, they will
allow themselves to be educated to save
and invest in something that must be
done regularly, they not only derive
benefit from the results, but they have
the advantage of the training in a most
profitable line, There are SO many
methods offered by Insurance companies
that almost everyone can find a plan
adapted to his circumstances.
Women upon whom others are depend
ent are worried continually on account
of their solicitude for the welfare of
those dependents. They are never quite
at ease as to the future or to their
ability to meet unexpected expense
through illness or the many affections to
which flesh is heir. They owe it to
themselves to take advantage of some
of the many opportunities to relieve
themselves OF anxieties.

salary, but a good Life Insurance which
represents the savings of himself and his
wife They decided to own their home
He purchased one and has paid for it on
the monthly installment plan; his credi-
tor, knowing he had the Life Insurance
policy, felt sure of his money if anything
should happen. Fortunately, after some
years of careful saving, they have their
home and his policy is almost fully
paid-up,
Let husbands and wives inform them
selves on Life Insurance and after
reasoning together make a beginning if
only in a small way. They will at least
accumulate a guaranty against want or
poverty and it may be the foundation of
great riches.
