VERY SHORT
WhitrhOrse Sporting Editor Does Not R.m mb-r We'll

Commenting upon the fact that Skag- way baseball players have been organ izing for the coming season the White horse Star says:
 Heretofore Whitehorse has always been able to play sll around the best bunch Skagway could get together, the salt breezes of that ,place evidently having a tendency to stifTen the limbs of her young men. causing them to play ball like membersot the Corn Flowers union"
 It is evident that the sporting editor of the Star h 8 memory that is very. very short; conveniently so, too, from a Whitehorse standpoint.
 Those whose memories are register ing correctly will recall that in the last four games of baseball that have been rlayed between Skagway and whitehorse, Skagway was victorious in three. It will also be remembered that .in the years that preceded 1903 Skag- way was universally successful in the two or three annual games that were played with Whitehorse and, before Whitehorse's time, with Bennett.
 When victories began to perch on Skagway's banner Eyea- before last after a tempol ary lapse the diamond trotters and sphere wallpapers of this place were again coming into that to which they were accustomed.

RUNNING SORES
 COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema - Instantaneous Relief By Cuticura-LittIe Boys Hands and Arms Also Were a Mass of Torturing Sores - Grateful Mother Says
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
 A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

"In reply to your letter I write you my experience, and you are privileged to use it as you see fit. Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstl- nate case of eczema, l rcSorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the phvsician'S prescription and relied en- tirely on the CutiCura Soap. CUtlcura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills, When we commenced with the CutiCura Rem edies her feet and limbs were covered with running sorcS. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble.
 "In July of this year a little boy m our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak. and in twcnty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the CutiCura Soap, and anointed them with the CutiCura Olnt- ment, and then gave him the CutlCura Resolvent. in about three weeks his hands and arms healed up; so we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol lars to come up on the mountain. Respectfully, Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmount, Walden's Ridge, Tenn, Oct. l3, 1905."

Juneauites ThOroug} ly En- certain Skagway Audience

The performance of the Elks' Ora matic Company, of Juneau, at Elks' hall last night, in Bartley CsmpbelPs drama, My Partner" was one Of the very best theatricsls ever put on the boards in Skagway. It went oil like clockwork. There was little of the awkwardness that usually attends the work of amateurs, h fact, the cast behaved like professionals, and It was strong oue-without a weak spot. It did full justice to the clever author whom it interpreted,
 The play was under the direction or George T. Snow, \ veteran actor with a wide reputation, made long ago, who took the leading role and exhibited much of his well-kuown talent.
 Mrs. V. Mcfarland, who had the leading woman's part, was very strong. She had good support in Miss York and Mrs. Snow.
 Mir. Snow was ably supported by ", Mcfarland, oue of the partners; J. A. Hellenthal, a loquacious candidate for office; former Mayor Forrest, the hero ines father; E. L Hunter, a Chinese servant; Jim McCloskey, a county sheriff, and others.
 The house was well filled and very sp' preciative. The male quartet was one of the features of the evening.
 An enjoyable dance followed the play

RIVER
MURDER CASE
Dr.. FL Brewer Held For Killing
His Wife--ArseniC and Ground
Glass Found.

TOMS RIVER, n. j., May 24.-Dr.
Frank L. Brouwer was arrested here
in his home, charged with the murder
OF his wife.
The grand jury of Ocean county had
returned an indictment for murder in
the first degree against him, alleging
that he poisoned his wife with arsenic
and ground glass administered to her
in her food and as medicine.
The action of the Ocean county
grand Jury came after remarkable tes-
timony was presented by relatives Of
the dead woman, two nurses, several
specialists and DR.. III. III. Cate of Lake
wood. DR.. Cate, who, without any OK
animation, signed the death certificate
giving Bright's disease as the cause of
Mrs. Brouwer's death, appeared as a
witness only after being assured that
an indictment would not be found
against him for having made a false
report.
When all the evidence was in the
grand jury unanimously agreed that
Mrs. Brouwer died from arsenic poi
soning.
Miss Anna Lippincott, a Long Branch
nurse, who left the Brouwer house
when she discovered Irregularities in
the physicians treatment Of his wife,
was an important witness before the
grand jury.
"Convulsions followed almost every
dose of medicine" she said, land when
the treatment was suspended for
! awhile Mrs. Brouwer appeared to rally.
"When | was convinced that things
! were not turning out properly | packed
up my belongings aud left the house,
not being willing TO figure as a prin-
cipal in the impending tragedy which
l was certain would occur"
AS to motive for murder, it is said
that Mrs. Brouwer's life was insured
heavily and that she owned consider
able property.
Mrs. Brouwer up to the time of her
| death had lived in Toms River five
years. She was the daughter of the
late Isaac X. L. Hyer, one of the best
known residents of Lakewood.

Among Ninth Ward Republicans
and Name Officers.

The absolute and permenant over
throw of the system of political boss
ism, which dictates nominations, en-
ploys party machinery to promote the
interests of corporations and d~eprives
elected members OF the county Or
~ganization of their rfghtful authority
by permitting the chairman of said
organization to appoint a greater
number of members than the mum
Der elected by the people, and by
comforting upon such appointees pow
ers which of right belong only to the
elected representatives of the repub-
lican voters.
A Io xtF wh1ah will GiUn RI oil nffi-
zens the right to express their choice
ators.
A law requiring that the value of
all public utility franchises shall be
taxed upon such value in the same
manner as other property is taxed.
The election of public officials who
will deal fairly with all corporate in
t~erests, but who WILL require all pub
lie utility corporations to render
proper service to the people, comply
with all ordinances and make ade-
quate return for the privileges they
enjoy.
The abolition of the committee
system of legislation, the chief sup
port of the corporations, by a rule
providing that every bill shall be re-
ported on the request of twenty per
cent. of the members of either house.

TAX BILL
SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
Measure Not That for Which Colby
Men Fought Hard, But the Sub
stitute of Committee.

TRENTON, May 24:-Governor
Stokes yesterday approved the com
mittee substitute for house bill "a,
the Calvin measure, increasing the
tax on franchise from 2 per cent, as
now fixed by the Voorhees, law, to b
per cent. per annum. The substitute
bill, now made a law, increases the
tax at a graduated rate, as follows:
For 1906 the rate will be 21s per
cent; 1907, s per cent; 1908, 31s
per cent; 1909, 4 per cent; l9IO,
Az per cent; 1911, and annually
thereafter, ) per cent, all to be cal
culated on the gross receipts.
The new law is entitled: An act
for the taxation of the property and
| franchises of street railroad corpora
tions using or occupying public
streets. highways, roads, lanes or
other public places in this state.
Section / provides: "All the prop
eryt. real and personal, and franchis-
es of street railroad corporations
which have acquired or may hereafter
acquire authority or permission from
this state, or from any taxing district
or municipality therein, and which
have. or may hereafter have, the
right to use or occupy and are oc-
cupying streets, highways, roads,
lanes or public places in this state,
shall hereafter be valued, assessed
and taxed as hereinafter provided.
The law provides that the state
board of assessors shall annually as
certain and apportion the FRANCHISE
tax assessed against any street rail-
road corporation among the various
axing districts in which the corpor-
alton is operating street railroads,
in proportion to the value of h
property located in the respective
districts. All such franchise taxes
are to become due and payable at the
time and place and when and where
other taxes are payable in each tax
ing district. The franchise taxes are
to be collected the same as the other
taxes.
This new law is the outcome of the
fight for an increase in the franchise
tax, which was inaugurated in the
assembly by the Colby faction, led
by Assembyman Martin, of Essex
county. Very early in the session
Mr.. Martin introduced a bill provid-
ing for the assessment and taxation
of franchises at local rates, for the
benefit of the municipalities. The
Colbyites made a hot fight for this
measure, but it was sent to the jud-
iciary committee headed by Assem-
blyman Perkins, the regular repub-
lican leader, and was never permit
ted to see the light of day.
Later Assemblyman Calvin, Boss
Dickinson's "Me-to" of Hudson
nv introduced bill "a. This proVid-
ed for a sweeping increase to five per
cent. at once. This hit the corpora
| lions too hard, and the state repub-
! lican ring would not stand for it.
| But the ring had to do something in
| order to make a showing in the cam
| paign this fall, so the committee sub
stitute was introduced and jammed
through.
