One of the Many.

The Wrangell Sentinel says: "A pe- tition has been circulated and received a number of names during the past several days for the appointment of Judge Brown, many of whom were se- cured, as far as we can learn, on the idea held out, as stated by one who was circulating the petition, they have "fa- vors to give and favors expected, and we'll know where to place them" On the other hand remonstrance has been circulated and voluntarily signed by sixty or more, which list embraces nine-tenths of the business men of the town. To an American citizen it does seem little peculiar that coercion should be resorted to, as plainly shown here. But such is the case in Division No. of Alaska. 'Good jobs" are plen- tiful for the signing of a petition; with out it-staryation. Out on such meth edsr'
 And then the funny man of the Rec Ord.Miner adds:
 Ut seems to us we heard some little fellow ask in the Dispatch the other day for "bill of particulars" The above is certainly specific enough. Will the organ editor of the Dispatch answer the foregoing, please? But this puts new phase on the whole business. We were not aware that this game was being played. We do not recall any thing We have ever said against Judge Brown. In fact, we have always rather admired him as man and good citizen. But for some reason he has never shown us any favors yet. He has never even so much as called on the Record Miner in the two years We have been here. sYet Brown is an excellent man." But tell us, Brother Snyder of the Sentinel, who are these men selected to give out the "good iobs?" We think they are good men, too. They would make good jurymen, bailiffs, etc. We haven't word to say against them. But what "good jobs" have they let out? If there is to be receiver appointed for the Al aska Packers Association, or any other ''good job" similar to this, and you don't want it, Brother Snyder, please drop a word to the boys in our behalf. Tell the boys who get the Wrangell sawmill that "if I get the appointment I'll do all l can to throw the salmon box contract to them" Please see the parties who are circulating the remon- strance and have them scratch my name of the thing, for that might handicap me. Brother Snyder, we think you are mistaken in what you say about his honor. You are either a sorehead, disappointed litigant, or one of those common Alaska liars" Under certain conditions, the Record Miners ticket will read, For District Judge, Melville c. Brown"

HOW A DIRECTORY is MADE.
Col. Radges Uses Great Pains and Sys-
tenn in Securing Information.

The matter of getting out city di-
rectory is not so complex as one would
suppose who is not acquainted with
the system used by Col. Sam Radges,
the veteran directory man of Topeka.
At first blush one would suppose that
the enrolling of Topeka's 10000 peo-
pie would require a much longer time
than four weeks but with the syste-
matte plan now in vogue the city Is
canvassed by few men in that time.
This is the preliminary canvass, and
the revision, checking up and dis
patching takes another week or Two.
force of men are now working
gradually towards the center or the
city. making house to house canvass
They started two weeks ago on the
outskirts, being assigned olstrlcts
which they are supposed to cover
thoroughly before they are given more
territory. They are instructed to ask
questions to the extent that the dlrec-
tory may record the correct name, &C
cupation and residence of every person
over eighteen years of age in their
several districts. The heads of fam
lilies are taken first. The old prac-
tice of designating widows where there
is no husband has been abandoned, as
If is hard to distinguish between sod
and grass widows, and all WIDOWS
do not care to have it known that
they are widows.

a written copy, the following Will pc
of interest as a guide to those OF To-
peka's citizens who have not encoun-
tered the directory man:
Treat everybody respectfully and
considerably.
Do not be afraid to ask questions
over again in order to get all the IN
formation required
Always obtain information from a
member of the family when possible,
never from a domestic.
Go to a house as many times as
necessary, rather than miss a name
Do not attempt to spell anybody,
name Have it spelled for you, or ask,
is it spelled Smith? spelling the
name as you write it. (Some Smiths
do not spell their names as do others-)
If wrong your informant will correct
you
Get the name of the head of the
family and his or her business or pro-
fession, and the number of the house
and street. Then get the names of all
other men living in the house over Is
years of age. Then the name of ali
the women living in the house over is
years of age who are not wives of the
men living there.
Be sure that you get the full first
name of all women, to distinguish
them from men.
There are many more instructions.

Wilson With Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct 18.-The stock
of Booths Cornhuskers has taken a
decided boom by the announcement
that Harry Wilson, right end last year
on the Nebraska football team. will
again don the moleskins and get into
the Cornhusker lineup. The right end
proposition has bothered Booth ever
since the inception of practice this fall
and he has tried out almost half a
dozen men in that position, with only
mediocre success. OF late Robertson
has been stationed at right end, but
all of his previous experience had been
at tackle and the tricks of the end
position were entirely new to him.
Robertson, however, apparently had
the call, and of late he had been MAX
ing satisfactory progress. but the re-
turn of Wilson solves the problem to

but these have to do with the average
citizen. and all of them OF course
the business houses wherever found
require special data, and other detalls
that are not of general interest are
included in the enroller's list of in
structionS.
1t will be seen from the above that
the accuracy of a directory is due as
much to the people whose names COM
pose it as to the publisher, for the en-
rollers must depend upon the people Tor
the names correctly spelled, the Occupa-
ton correctly given, and the proper To-
cation to house number and street
The rigid system of checking up afds
in completing the work. and detecting
careless work on the part of an enroller.
For instance, the canvass is begun on
the outlying districts, and the men or
dered to report every day or two at the
office, and turn in their books OF names
leach name is written upon separate
slip or page of a small book. these are
checked up, with reference to legibtli-
W or writing, and as to compliance with
the instructions given as TO securing
occupations, and correctly locating the
resident. If found reasonably accurate
they are allowed to proceed with their
work, otherwise they are summary
fired ana new canVaSserS put on. Oc-
casionally a dispatcher" is sent out by
Col. Radges to take a block at random
in each enroller's territory. without re-
gard to location or without saying any
thing to the man who took it before.
The work of the dispatcher and the en-
roller is compared and if found at var
lance the enroller is called to account
for lax work. If his work is not inn
proved at the time of the next dispatch
ing period, he is discharged for incom-
potency.
1t will be seen that every possible
safeguard is thrown about the work OF
making a directory that ingenuity can
devise and money obtain to make 1t
| correct guide to the city's inhabitants,
and if a name appears wrong 1t is in
nearly every instance due to the person
giving the information themselves.
Col Radges has been printing To-
peka's directories for thirty years and
the most modern and up-to-date meth
DDS are employed by him in the work
this year. He is looking after the BUSH
ness end of the work, and has employ
ed Oscar Swayze to compile the sta
tistical and general information portion
of the book. Under the latter's super
vision also are the enrolling forces. The
| copy will begin going to the printers
shortly, and the publication of the big
book will soon be the main work in
hand. Getting out directory is no
small task, but in the hands of Col.
Radges it has become a matter of-fact
task that no longer furries or upsets
his peace of mind.

TREATMENT OF PILES
Permanence of Cure the True Test.

Many so-called pile remedies will
afford the user slight temporary re-
lief, and the majority of those afflicted
do not expect more than this
The average sufferer, after having
tried every preparation recommended
for the cure of piles, comes to the
conclusion that there is no cure except
by an operation, and rather than I'M
dergo this last resort" he suffers on,
resigned to the situation, so far as
NAV be- The attention of those in
terested is invited to the following ex-
perience:
AFTER ten years of suffering from
blind, bleeding and protruding piles
and after using every remedy could
hear of without any benefit, I finally
bought a so cent box of Pyramid Pile
Cure, and used it with such good re-
suits I bought next a dollar box, which
finished up the job That was nearly
six years ago, and as far piles is
concerned 1 am cured, and have never
felt a symptom of them since.

that the nerve system rules all the bodys health.
