IT IS SERIOUS
Some Alaska Psopls Fail to Realize
 the Seriousness

The constant aching of bad back,
 The weariness, the tired feeling.
 The pains and aches of kidney ills
 Are serious-if neglected.
 Dangerous urinary troubles follow.
 k Bennett, employed by the Dona- hue Lumber Co, residing at 439 South F.. street, Tacoma, Wash, says: "For some time last fall 1 had considerable trouble from a lame and aching back. paid little attention to it at first, but as time rolled by 1t kept getting worse. | was uncertain as to the cause. l am employed with the Donahue Lumber Co. and my part of the work is what Is called ratcher, setting the logs up to the saw. thought the constant riding aad jarring of the log carriage might have caused the trouble; be that as it may, felt the result severely in my back, particularly if stopped, when l could scarcely straighten, Doan's Kid ney Pills came to my notice and pro cured a box. They cured the dull, heavy aching in very short time and I was soon able to get about my work with my wonted vigor. l am sure II anyone Is troubled from backache which arises from kidney complaint they can depend upon Doan's Kidney Pills to cure it.

NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT

Alaskan tories admit that people who are not representative of the producing or mercantile interests of Alaska are having too great influence in shaping the legislation for this district, yet they are advocating a continuation of a sys- tenn of government which makes such is possible. Under the present arrange ment the man who has time to leyelop the strongest pull at Washington with senators and representatives in con gress has most influence in forming leg Islstion for Alaska and in dlctat- ing appointments in the district It we had 8 territorial organization, so the people oi the district could express themselves on all matters they would make and administer their own laws through legislators and administrators of their own selection.
 Seli-government affords the people the only means of escape from the poli- tician who spends bis time in keePi g up . ''irout" and in developing inhu- ence. It would give the mining man, the laborer, the merchant, the csnnerY' man, the trapper and the trader an op- portuuity to care for their own affairs.
 The tory has no license to complain of government in Alaska It is better than he deserves. Had he his uuhind- cred way 1t would not be nearly so good as 1t is. Then we would have another Siberia.

.L.ay. and "woman..

As to the rather subtle question of "gentleman," lady man and "woman," there is a difference (writes a correspondent between the sexes. A duke must always be man, unless he be, for the purpose of the conversa- ton, a gentleman" with great em- phasis of voice. Without emphasis every man of gentleman's rank Is a man" always and in every social cir cumstance. But with women it is en- tirely a matter of the adjective. With out an adjective a woman is lady" Who ever asked. on hearing that a friend was to marry, "Who is the womany' Nor do we say that we met a woman at dinner who told us so and-so. But introduce the adjective and the ''lady" is at once a pretty woman, a well dressed woman, rather a dull woman.-London Chronicle.

The Mystery of Health.

Whenever any one is released from jail or penitentiary after a long sen tence we read that while he was in poor or downright bad health when he entered he comes out as hearty as a brick. Yet almost without exception jails and penltentiaries are insanitary, sunless places, with no facilities for precautions usually taken by those who wish to get or keep healthy. The mys' tery lies in two words-regularity and diet. The first Is perhaps the more important. Clocklike regularity; ev- erything done on the second and on the same second every day; recogni' ton of the fact that the body is a machine. Then, as supplement to this, a simple diet-plain, not too varied enough to eat, but not too much.- Saturday Evening Post.

Cures For Mitchcry.

Rev. Joseph DOderidge in his "NotcS of the Settlement and Indian Wars In Pennsylvania and Virginia" in that portion of the work treating of Witch craft says; "The diseases of children supposed to be inflicted by witchcraft were those of dropsy of the brain and the rickets. These were diseases which could neither be accounted for nor cured, consequently they were ascribed to some supernatural agency, Fer the cure of diseases inflicted by witches the picture of the supposed witch was drawn on a stump or piece of board and shot at with a bullet containing little bit of silver This silver bullet transferred a painful and sometimes mortal spell on that part of the witch corresponding with the part of the pie ture struck by the bullet"

Fish Pie. In England.

In mediaeval England fish pies were e very favorite dish at Christmas time, and lamprey pies were regarded as a special luxury. The cost of such dell cacles was very great, In 1874 the sheriff of Gloucester provided forty four for the royal table at cost Of f12 5s. Sd. a sum nearly equivalent to f100 at the present day. Those taken from the Severn were especially noted, and 1t became an annual custom for the city of Gloucester to send a lam prey pie to the king There is rec ord of such complimentary presents being sent to Cromwell and to Len thall, the speaker of the long parlia- ment. Owing to the municipal corpora ton act Gloucester's annual custom ceased in 1886. but in 1893 the mayor revived it and sent pie to Queen Vic toria at his own expense. His sue cessors have followed his example, London Mail.

Government Will Reduce
 Price of Atlin Lots

Lot owners of Atlin are going to be given an opportunity to get the proper ty which they purchased at the auction sale in the early days of that camp at a better price than the one named in their agreements with the government. The plan is for the government to de- clare the contracts of sale cancelled be- cause of the nou-payment of overdue in- stallments. The lots will then be put up at another sale at which the upset price will be nominal, but fer cash on the spot. Owners then can bid in their property a-d get crown grants for their lots. Property owners will be protect ed in the transaction by the separate appraisenent of the improvements on the property, which must be paid to the owner, and will be in addition to the governments price.

The murder of benjamin. Walker,
colored, near Spring Park, adjoining
this city, last Monday night-the second
which has occurred 10 tDis city and vi
cinity during the past two weeks-has
caused much comment. The affair was
clouded in mystery until Yesterday when
a man having charge OF a number OF
colored labOrers employed a. and near
the new union depot informed Mr..
James Patterson at the new union de
not. that negro named G.. Pass COM
mitted the crime. The latter is from
Warren county, n. c., and he departed
in a southerly direction after shooting
Walker. The circumstances 10 connec-
ton with the murder are said to have
been as follows: Pass on last Monday
night wen. to the camp of some colored
men and asked if any of them knew hun.
He receiving no answer to his interro-
cation. walk around some Of the men
and while standing behind Walker de-
lberately drew pistol and shot him
three times in the back. Pass went
TO another part of the camp and told
some men that Walker had committed
suicide. Pass later departed and is be-
Iieyed to be somewhere between this city
and Richmond. Richard Hines and
another colored man were witnesses Of
the shooting. Mr.. Patterson, upon learn
ing these particulars of the murder, sent
A note to Chief Webster Of the police
force and the latter directed Officer
Lyles to proceed to the camp and make
further investigation. The officer Sc
cured en- )ugh information to corrobo-
rate what is stated above. As the shoot
ing took place outside the city limits,
it is up to the Alexandria county au-
thorities to take action in the matter.
The witnesses can be scared easily
while the murderer cao be caught pro-
wided proper efforts are made.

lice Commissioners was held today.
Mayor Paff presided and Messrs. Graham
and Hill were present.
The attention of the ommissioners
was called to an account of the proceed
ings of Wednesday nights meeting as
published in the Gazette yesterday, and
the sense of the meeting was as follows :;
"The article as it appeared in the Ga
zette of November Is concerning the
meeting of the Police Commissioners
of the previous night is absolutely mac
curate and misleading; that Mr.. Machen
was not present at all; that the petition
of MIR. Allen for a rehearDg was not en-
tertained, the chair ruling that motion
made by member voting in the mega
tive at the previous hearing, when the
officer was dismissed, being out of order.
A motion was made by Mayor Psfi' and
seconded by Mr.. Hill that the request OF
Messrs. Machen d Moncure TO be given
an opportunity TO make an oral statement
to the board in support of the petition
be granted and it was passed unaDi-
mously."

lished in yesterdays Gazette was secured

Printing Bills Cut Down.

Acting Public Printer Ricketts, in an
interview yesterday said
"Judging from the volume OF work
now being turned out al the government
printing Office, economy has struck the
government departments hard. We are
now printing abont as much stuff as we
did five or six years ago. The amount
has fallen of greatly within the last three
months, and during my connection with
the Office it has never been at 50 low
point as now"
Mr.. Ricketts, attributed the falling off
in requests to print to the influence OF
the President and the determination OF
the heads of departments to cut down
the printing bills, which had gr'wn to
enormous proportions.
1t has been necessary in some instances
to lay off employees of the Office who we,e
working temper rily. This, with sick
leaves, has reduced the TO 'ce, and there
are perhaps less men and women ct work
in the printing Office this month than at
any other time for several years.
