Says the Ocean Grove Times: Miss
Margaret i. Asay gave a truly dramatic
recitation Of '1lhe Bells as her first
selection. Her choice was a happy one,
and her cleverness was made apparent
before the close Of the first verse OF this
wellknown piece. There are no aifee-
tations in Miss Asay's manner such as
are noticed in many professional readers,
and which invariably make the audience
feel immeasurably uncomfortable. She
also recited "Aux Italiens," loye-dream
ef poesy, and several humorous dialect
compositions, notably one by James
Whitcomb Riley, that yisibly stirred the
hearts OF her hearers. Miss Assay gave
ample evidence that she is able to move
her audience to tears or laughter, as she

"Good news travels fast" and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Ala ks are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks 70 Doan's Kidney Pills. The cured are telling the good news of their experience with the old Quaker Rem edy. Here is an example worth read ing:
 George T. Kane, painter and paper hanger, who lives at l2lO Adams street, Olympia, Wash, says: II am a paint CT and paper hanger by trade and every summer when at work l experienced a sevtre attack of kidney trouble, the oils, turpentine ard paint no doubt hav- ing something 10 do with it, This has been recurring for the past several years. l had heavy bearing down pains through my lUins and when l stopped could bardly straighten up again. l could not est cOmforta1ly at night and arose tired and unrefre-hed in the morning. The kidney secretiOns be- came unnatural and irregular, and were accompanied d with a sensation of burn ing and scalditg Seeing DOau's Kid ney Pi Is advertised I sent for Q box and felt relief after the first few doses.

ItWas Abraham Lincoln that coun- sellsd against swapping horses when in midstream. The advice Of the great president and phrase maker applies to the city ot Skagwsy. The present city council has conducted the affairs of the city in a busineSs-,ike, honest and fair manner. It has given the people an excellent water system. Never before had VIC such adequate fire protection
 The city finances have been wisely managed. Good re5ults have been re- eeiyed from expenditures. But the work the council has laid out is not completed. It will not be until the debt for the water plant shall have been paid. Good business iudgme-t would dictate that as many of the old council men as will run again should be re- turned until that shsl be done Those who have managed affairs so well thus far are the best qualified to continue the management. That is the policy business men of this city would pursue
 with their own business, It is prOba- bly, what they will do in connection with the employment of a new council.

SHEER NONSENSE.

In attempting to present an argument Ip support of it's desire that partizan politics be introduced into local Alas kan affairs, the Juneau Record-Miner emits the following:
 Suppose we could guarantee the re publican party 10000 votes at national election. Wouldn't a republican con gress take it upon themselves to see that we had right toeast those votesy"
 That is sheer nonsense. There is not \ single foundation in fact for it to rest upon.
 The vote of Alaskans could be of no use to any political party if Alaska were not a state, and there is no prece- dent to warrant the belief that the dis trles would be admitted as a state if it should vote unanimously for the repu6- lican or the democratic party. Oklaho- ma has a population of more than 6OO,- OOO and an assessed valuation of several hundred millions of dollars. Ithas gone republican at every election since 1t was made territory except one, The republicans have carried it by substan' tisl maiorities a, the last four elections. New Mexico has population of a quarter of a million, I, has s lar Q assessed valuation. It V.ves the ..lnlicaus enormous major ities. It has gone democratic but once in 10 years Both Oklahoma and New Mexico vUlld have given their cleo toral votes to Mckinley ard to Roose' welt at the last two el,ctiOus had they been states, Notwithstanding this republican congress has repeatedly r'' fIsed to admit them to the UuiOn.
 This sttemp, to raise false issues in Alaska is absurd. The people of the district are too well informed aut toe close to the foundation of things, gen. erAlly, to be hoodwinked. They prete' to act along natural lines and 10 eonhne their attention to live matters to tol' lowing the lead of those who would play politics.
