The idea that an inferior class of
neople patronize the tourist sleepers is
an error. On many trips only the best
class of travellers are found. They are
merely men and women of good sense
who would rather travel to California
in this manner and save a snug sum
of money to be used elsewhere. It is
beginning to be understood that it is
nv no means necessary for the traveller
to spend a large sum of money in or
der to enjoy a trip to the Pacific coast.
IF YOU cross the continent in one of
the tourist sleepers of the Union Pa
cific you win enjoy your trip and save
considerable money.

The city was thrown into a fever OF
excitement Saturday evening just at
the hour when every n was about
ready to sit down to supper, or at
about $3.50, by the sudden alarm of fire.
It 0 drew everybody to Main Street
as the fire was in the Millinery store of
Mrs. ]. S. Delaney and the flames,
bursted from the building lighted all to
the location. Quick work or the part
of the FIRE laddies, when the hose we're
connected and the water was turned
on from our excellent water works
system mains, soon put out the flames,
but not until the roUm had been clean
ed out Of it's contents. The millinery
stock valued at $500 was completely
destroyed, but the building will be re-
paired probably by an expenditure of
$500. Insurance on millinery stock
$4,000, none on building. The origin
Of the FIRE was q defeative coal oil hand
lamp. Just before closing Mrs. Dulan-
ey lighted the lamp and set it on the
counter while she extinguished the
large hanging lamps. When she look
ed at it the blaze was spread outside
and extended down to the counter and
had ignighted some paper upon which
the lamp rested. Taking a whisk
broom, she approached the lamp and
tried to fan out the blaze, but instead
the lamp exploded, and soone than
it can be told the fire spread about the
room. Mrs. Dulaney had on hel
street wraps, which doubtless saved
her from being seriously burned be.

CAUSE OF COMPLAINT.

The Juneau Dispatch, not without good reason, contends that jury dOdg- ing by representative men is one of the causes for the miscarriage of jus tice which have brought about so much criticism during recent years of thejury system. Using this thought asa text, and the numerous applications to the court last Monday for relief from duty by those who were summoned to Juneau for that purpose, as an illus,ra- tion the Dispatch says;
 I've growl a great deal now and then about the incompetence of iuries. So prolific has been the complaint that eminent lawyers, men who stand for what is truly an advance tn jurjspru- dence, have advocated the abandon ment of the jury system. From the ac- cepted palladium of our civil rights t:ial by jury has become the subject Of mootsd expedisncy and justice, and the trouble lies tn the want of public spirit in the ordinary business citizen.
 This fact was easily apparent in the federal court today by the number Of applications from jurymeu for relief from a public duty. but it can be laid in this instance to the fact that assist ants are hard to get in this sparsely settled community where in numerous cases the iuryman must serve at great personal sacrifice. The business man is always on hand with his excuse and the skilled mechanic in numerous cases leaves his machinery iu poor hands while he serves on the jury. The question is a delicate one and federal officials ponder for 8 remedy.'
