home just across the line in Autauga

sufferer from locomotor-ataxia for some
time, but it was not thought the end was
so near. About three weeks ago he was
taken to his bed and gradually the end
has approached. Mr.. Zimmerman was
twice married and is survived by his wife

Elmore county but moved to Autauga
county in the neighborhood in which he

fifteen weeks and through the long strug-

goes out the deepest sympathy from this
community.
Local and Personal
An accidental discharge of a pistol, the
weapon having fallen from the pocket of
a gentleman living beyond the city linn

Geers Coming to Selma.

III. M. Smith, superintendent of racing
turned from Birmingham, where he went
to receive entries for the races that will
take place daily at the Driving park Oc-
tober 80 to November 3, during the fair.
Among the entries Mr.. Smith has
brought back with him several horses
under the direction of the well known
driver Ed Geers, THE Silent Man" Mr.
Geers expressed great anticipated delight
over his visit to Selma again, having
many friends here, made long ago when
the Village Fal m discovered Selma as a
winterng resort for horses.
Alonza Mcdonald, with a splendid string
of horses, reached the city today having
come here to winter his stock. He will
also have entries at the fair. Another
feature of the fair that will be of inter-
est to horsemen will be the exhibit of
J. p. Crouch IL Co., of the Lafayette,
Ind, stock farm, which will consist of
fifteen imported German coach horses.
These animals will be in all the parades
of stock, will be exhibited at the horse
show and on daily exhibition during the
fair.
Mr.. Smith also received a number of en-
tries for the running events and some
fast time is expected to be chalked up
against both runners and harness horses.
1t is expected that the going in Selma
will be the best of any in the south. Bir-
mingham has already made some remark
ably fast time, but it is well known that
the Selma tract. is the finest in the south
and some records are expected to be
made here.

CALlFoRNIA GUEST ROOMS

California has ever been noted for her hospitality. It is a respected tra- dition, handed down from the earliest Franciscan days when the occasional traveller, picking his way through the then wilderness, sighted white mission towers with glad sigh, threw his reins to the simple Indian arriero who hast ened to his horses head, entered the cloistered hospice with blessing from the welcoming padre, and, without question or time or price, ate and drank of the best, slept on the best that the lonely outpost of Christianity afforded; until-again with the padres blessing he chose to ride on to the next white towers, with a fresh horse and a guide that cost him nothing. Handed down from those wondrous days to the quaint time of the sumptuous-hearted Mexi- can haciendado, the purse were the travellers own while he chose to tarry; on down again through the later day of the friendly early American rancher to this our own day of wholesale, pro- fessional, but still hospitable and un- matched entertainment of strangers. Hospitable and unmatched because a tradition, an ideal, is at the otherwise practical modern heart of it; a tradition and an ideal that still manifest, through all the money.making incentive of the thing, not only the spirit, but the arch lecture of the original old hospitality. -Laurier Bartlett, in the Pacific Monthly for January.

THE CITY COUNCIL

The "city fathers" were true to their trust, and bra7ed the terrors of the cold wind to assemble at the usual hour on last Monday evening. In such times as these, when the bowling Taku makes the danger of fire an ever pres ent menace, the burden of the affairs of city government is tenfold greater.
 The matter of family in destitute circumstances was brought to the at tention of the Council, and the commit tee on Health and Police was instruct ed to provide for their immediate wants as conditions seem to warrant.
 It was decided that an emergency exists in the water question, and that, in order to husband the supply for use in case of fire, all patrons of the water works be warned not to allow any waste of water. In case any such waste shall become known to the City Marshal, it shall be his duty to see that the gate controlling such water is immediately closed.
 Claims against the city were approv- ed and warrants drawn for the follow

TREADWELL TOPICS.

The Eureka has been lying at the Treadwell wharf for the past week, waiting for the high winds to subside in order to finish loading her cargo of sulphurets.
 The Leeianaw is in Juneau, awaiting the departure of the Eureka. She car ries large cargo of coal for Treadwell.
 The present combination of high winds and extremely cold weather is interfering to quite an extent with the domestic machinery in most of the Treadwell homes. The general con- census of opinion is that the weather has been showing off, quite long enough for one season and ought to settle down now and be good. No one expects for moment, however, that the wishes of ''mere man" will have any influence in changing whatever plans the weather may have mapped out for its future conduct.
 Robert Willis, Jr. received rather a severe burn on the face last Sunday, but bore it heroically, and is now doing nicely.
 Mir. and Mrs. H. P. Stow entertained at dinner Thursday evening MT. and Mrs. H. H. Folsom, of Juneau, MT. and Mrs. E. J. N. Ott, and Mir. Alfred Will Hams of Treadwell.
 A gathering of young people took place Friday evening at the home of Mir. and Mrs. I. D. Carpenter, although on account of the severe weather, the number of guests was considerably less than was originally planned on. The few who braved the elements, how ever, spent most enjoyable evening"

 The Douglas city council has recent ly been Investigating the matter of the payment of federal licenses by Douglas business men, and find that number have not yet paid As this money all goes to the city it will be looked after carefully.
 The meeting of the Chamber of Com merce last night was not we'll attended, probably on account of the storm. The committees reported progress and the Chamber adjourned at an early hour. The next regular meeting will be next Tuesday evening at S:30 o'clock, when there will be something doing, unless a special meeting is called sooner, in which case all members will be notified.
 North Star Lodge No. 2, K. of P. held A public installation of officers last Thursday. Only families of Knights were invited, except that each Knight, not owning family was allowed to bring his girl or some other fellows girl. After the exercises a lunch was served. Several fine musical selections were contributed by Miss Edna Car penter and Campbell Brothers. No fraternal organization in Douglas has a better start than the Knights, and the lodge is enjoying steady growth of the best kind of members.
 Word arrived on the Jefferson of the death of John Calhoun we'll known pioneer of this city, who died at Seattle last Tuesday of pneumonia. The de- ceased was one of the pioneer business men of Juneau and for many years carried on profitable milk business here. MT. Calhoun lived here after retiring from business until about eighteen months ago, when with his wife, he removed to Seattle and has since made his home there. He leaves wife and three children, daughter Mrs. Edward Webster of this city and two sons, who are engaged 1T mining in the Tohopsh district ot Nevada.-Juneau Dispatch.
