The man who knows it alp and
deems himself all-sufhcient for all oc-
casions, and especially for emergen-
cies, is familiar figure in all en-
ployments, public and private. More
men achieve failure by knowing too
much and trying to do too many
things to which they are not called
than by the opposite course. The
overdoer, more frequently than the
man who keeps below high stand
ard, fails to realize his aims. Dom
mated by a deep and abiding sense OF
his capacity for usefulness and by an
equally robust doubt Of other mems
qualifications, this inflated parsonage
Is a nuisance at all times and in any
ayocation.

TRADE CONSPIRACY
Laid TO DRUG men
ATTORNEY GENERAL MOODY BE-
GINS PROCEEDINGS UNDER
THE SHERMAN LAW.
Alleges Manufacturers and Dealers
Are in Compact to Illegally Con-
troll Prices of Patent Medicines and
Proprietary Articles.

Washington, May 10.-The attorney
general Wednesday made public the
following statement: "The govern
ment has to-day filed in the circuit
court of the United States for the dis
trict of Indiana a petition for an in
junction against certain associations,
corporations and individuals, compris-
ing what is commonly known as the
Drug Trust of the United States"
The parties defendant specifically
named in the bill have voluntarily
combined together to control the prices
at which proprietary medicines and
drugs shall be sold to the consumer
through the retail druggists in VIOLA
ton of the Sherman antitrust law.
The parties to the combination in
clude the Proprietary Associations of
America, the National Wholesale
Druggists association and the Ma
tional Association of Retail Druggists,
the direct contract proprietors and it's
agents, members and officers"
Combine to Fix Prices.
The bill charges in substance that
these associations, their officers, dele
gates and members, are all engaged
in common undertaking, to-wit, the
business of manufacturing, buying and
selling of patent medicines and drugs
and proprietary articles throughout
the United States. That these associ
atoms and the members thereof have
entered into a conspiracy to arbitrari
ly fix and regulate the price at which
such articles shall be sold to the con-
sumner, and that they have established
rules and regulations to enforce such
an unlawful agreement by restricting
the purchase and sale of such COM
modities to those members of the sew
eral associations who shall live up to
and observe the rules and regulations
thus arbitrarily prescribed by the re-
spective associations.
Picks It's Customers.
There is but one ultimate object of
the conspiracy, viz, to fix the price
which shall be observed by all retail
druggists in selling to the customer
the various commodities manufactured
by the several members of the propri-
etary association. The plan by which
such object is offered is in brief as
follows: No retail druggist can OBJ
tain goods from a wholesale druggist
or a manufacturer of proprietary
medicine unless such retail druggist
becomes member of the National
Association of Retail Druggists, and
in order to become such member he
must agree to observe the established
price at which such proprietary medi-
cines shall be sold to the consumer.
Penalty for Disobedience.
eff such retail druggist, after becom-
ing a member of the National Associ-
alton of Retail Druggists, cuts prices
in the sale of such articles to the con-
sumner. he is Immediately placed upon
the list of what is known as 'Aggres
sive cutters and thereafter such re-
tail druggist is unable to obtain from
any manufacturer who is member of
the Proprietary association, or from
any other wholesale druggist who is
a member of the Wholesale Druggists
association, any of the commodities
which may be manufactured and sold
by them or any of them"

Some Republican Losses

Washington, D. C., Nov. 7-Returns from all parts of the country show that the republicans generally were sue cessful although they suffered some heavy losses from the phenomenal majorities of 1904. The next house of representatives will undoubtedly be republican. General results are indi- cated as follows:
 Nebraska shows big republican gains. The republican state ticket in. Ohio is elected by 75,OOO. The Okla homa state constitution will be written by democrats. They have certainly elected a majority of the delegates to the constitutional convention. Joint statehood with New Mexico was de- feated in Arizona. Gov. Hoch is probably reelected in Kansas by a largely reduced majority. Missouri is doubtful but the democrats have re- gained some of the congressional dis tricts lost two years ago. The republi- cans carried Utah and Wyoming but lost Nevada, while both parties are claiming Colorado. Montana is proba- bly, republican. Gov. Warner was re- elected in Michigan by 100000 majority.
 Among election surprises are the de- feat of J. w. Wadsworth in the thirty fourth New York district, He had been member for many years and was chairman of the house committee on agriculture. Joseph ". Babcock, another old member, was defeated in Wisconsin. James K. Hiddens, demo- crat, defeated Gov. Utter in Rhode Isl- and. Gov. Johnson, democrat, was re- elected in Minnesota by a large majority,

COPPER WORK
 AT LATOUCHE
About 100 Men Now Employed On Island In Production
 and Development.

About 100 men are employed on La touche island in production and devel- opment work in the copper mines. Fifty-eight of these miners are em- ployed by the Reynolds-Alaska Devel- opment Company at Boulder bay Un- der the Superintendence of G. L. Banta development is proceeding rapidly and the mine will ship heavily next year. Ore is already piling up on the dump but cannot be taken to the water until q tram is built, which will be done next spring as soon as the snow is off.
 Recently power plant for the gen eration of electrical power was in- stalled and now four electric compress sors are driving the drilling machin- cry. Work will be pushed steadily all winter.
 This property is known as the La touche-Iron Mountain group. A tun- nel a mile long was driven on the ledge and then it was cross-cut, expos ing an enormous ore body. Cross openings from the vein tunnel have blocked out large quantities of ore.
 Beatson's mine is shipping steadily, although it is worked only by hand labor Extensive development work has been done on the adjoining proper ties; the Blackbird group, owned by George Barrack and others: the Singer oroup and the Buzzard.

STEAMER NORTHWESTERN
 BRINGS LARGE CARGO

Steamer Northwestern, the biggest vessel that ever came into Resurrec- tion bay, so far as anybody now here knows, arrived in port Wednesda! night with 2GO tons of freight for Seward. Her local passenger list was small but she had 300 men aboard from the Cordova railroad work, which has shut down for the season. A few other residents of Cordova, of the sporting fraternity, were also on the boat and some will remain here.
 The steamer sailed for Seattle Friday morning at o'clock. Her long stay was made neceS- sary partly by the work of building stalls for twenty-five horses which were shipped out by the railroad company, eight mules for the Gro" Creek Mining Company, and one horse for Mir. Bailey of Valdez.
 The Northwestern's freight cargo embraced about siXty-ive tons of local merchandise and l95 tons for the rai.- road company. The latter included 5000 feet of bridge timber and eight. three tons of coal.
 The Northwestern Is the former Orizaba, one of the three steamers brought around from the Atlantic coast by the Northwestern Steamship Company this summer. She was built at Chester, Pennsylvania in 1889. Her gross tonnage is 3496, net tonnage 2334, indicated horse power 26OO. Her master is Capt. John Truebridge, formerly of the big Great Northern steamship Minnesota; her purser is w. H. Triggs, formerly of the Oregon.

PEARY PARTY ARRIVES AT
 HOPEDALE ON STEAMER

By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
 Hopedale, Labrador. Nov. Silent. Peary's steamer Roosevelt arrived at Hopeda!e from the north yesterday with the entire party alive and well. The steamer was obliged to return for supplies and coal, having lost part of it's provisions. Peary was within 2OS miles of the north pole at his farther most point.
 Lieut.. Robert E. Peary started for the pole in the late summer of 1905. His plan was to have series of relief parties behind him to carry supplies forward by relays from some norther lJ point to be made base. He had made two previous trips to the far north.
 His latest feat places Peary at the head of north pole hunters from the standpoint of highest latitude reached. Nansen's mark of S6 degrees, IA min utes, made in 1896, was passed in 1900 by the Duke of Abruzzi, who reached S6:33, and now the latter takes second nlace

 New York. Nov. - Charles e.. Hughes is elected governor by about 5000 plurality over William R.. Hearst. With I6O precincts missing m the upstate districts his plurality sutside the city of Greater New York h l24O0O. With sixy-niue precincts missing in the city Hearst's plurality here is 75,OOO.
 Hearst announces that he will con- Gnue his fight upon the trusts. IL his So-workers wish him to be leader he will work that way If not he will work in the ranks.
 The early returns from the city last night pointed toward the election of Hearst. The first city precincts counted indicated that he had carried The city by an overwhelming majority, while the early returns from upstate ahowed a light vote and decline in republican majorities. AS the count progressed the figures became more favorable to Hughes and before mid night the World and Times claimed his election by 10000, figuring the city At 10000 for Hearst and the outside districts at 9O,OOO for Hughes. At that hour the democratic committee was Inclined to concede the state. A little hter Hearst and his managers claimed that the returns did not warrant an estimate of 9O,OOO for Hughes north of the Bronx and it was given out by the Associated Press that Hughes would probably win, if aJ all, by less than 5000. Hearst then threatened to con- lest if an apparent majority for Hughes vas shown. Later returns gradually increased the lead of Hughes.
 Hearst's majority in Kings Brook lynl Queens, Suffolk and Richmond counties, the Long Island portion of Greater New York, was only 2jJO. Buffalo voted 32,Ol2 for Hears. and sI.Sg2 for Hughes.

GOT $4OO GOLD
 AT NENELCHUK
Chris Hanson Comes Out With Dust to Show That Beach
 DiggingS Are Good.

Chris Hanson went through Seward on the steamer Jeanie and while here sold Sl+O in gold to Harry Ellsworth as a sample of what the beach diggings at Nenelchuk can bring forth. He stated that he had previously sent out nearly twice as much, making his to- tai extract from the soil in few weeks about s}00. He made the discovery in July and in the work he did had only the aid of boy not yet grown.
 When Hanson reported his discovery last summer there was small stam- pede to the region. Gold was found at several places on Deep creek, which flows into Cook inlet near NenelchuK, but prospectors were unable to do any work up the creek, Hanson says, be- cause of the excessive rains which made the transportation of supplies almost impossible. They kept waiting for the dry weather which never came. Hanson believes the creek is likely to make good showing next year.
 Hanson did not reach bedrock, which he thinks is quite deep. He says he took out most of the gold by banning, although he made small ditch and did some sluicing. He says thst if gold is found in paying quanti- ties along Deep creek it will not be difficult field to work as the creek car ries plenty of water and most of the way has only slight descent SO that it is not hard to control.
