A HEARTY WELCOME.
Amusing Incident of the Early Town
Rivalry In Dakota.

One of the earliest acts Of Abra-
ham Lincoln as president was to ap-
point DR.. William Jayne as first gov
ernor of Dakota territory. 1t rest
ed with the governor to determine
what point in the territory should
be the temporary capital until such
time as the legislature should select
a permanent seat Of government.
Therefore there was a great rivalry
among the little towns in Dakota to
secure the favor of the new govern
or. In connection with this rivalry
the author of ga Brief History of
South Dakota" gives this story:
1t was reported that Governor
Jayne was driving out from Sioux
City to look over the Dakota towns
before he determined upon the tenn
porary seat of government, and the
enterprising town of Vermilion en-
ergetically prepared great banquet
in his honor.
Presently a carriage containing
two well dressed gentlemen was seen
approaching the village from the
east, and a committee of citizens
went out to meet it and welcome the
new governor. The two men were
invited to accompany the committee
forthwith to the banquet hall.
There they partook of fine dinner,
and several hours were spent in
speechmaking.
The guest Of honor thanked the
people sincerely for their courtesy,
spoke of his good impressions of the
country and declared his intention
to settle among them.
This declaration was greeted with
hearty cheers, but at that moment
three or four carriages drove
through the village, stopping only
for a moment, and then driving on
toward Yankton. Some one brought
word INFO the banquet hall that Gov
ernor jayne and his party had gone
through to Yankton without giving
Vermilion an opportunity to do him
honor. Then the chairman turned
to the guest at the banquet and ask
ed him his name.
He said it was G. B. Bigelow, and
he was much surprised to know that
he had been mistaken for the new
governor of the territory, supposing
that he had met the usual hearty
welcome which the new towns Of
the west held out to intending set
tiers.
Sorely as were the people of Yer
million disappointed, their sense Of
humor was too great to permit them
to mourn long over the laughable
mistake. Governor" Bigelow lived
with them for many years and in the
fullness of ripe old age died among
them, respected by every one, but
Yankton became the temporary and
the permanent capital of Dakota
territory.

A NATURAL MISTAKE.
The Mans Theory Was Right Even IT
He Did Blunder.

he Oi0 6lun0er.
'Ts this the way to the handker-
chief COUNTER" asked one man Of
another in a department store.
The man who asked the question
wore a hat, and the man of whom
the question was asked did not. In
the momentary pause which ensued
The man with the hat observed that
the man without a hat really car
ried hat in his hand.
81 don't know the way to the
handkerchief counter" rejoined the
man without hat, ''but will you be
good enough to tell me why you
took me for a foorwalker? [ have
been taken for a waiter at dinners
and receptions because l carry

walkers stunt gets me. What's
about me that gave you the impress
sion? Why didn't you speak to
some other chap"
The man with the hat was quiet
ly and critically taking in the other
man during the firing off Of this
problem in physiOgnomy study.
Then he said:
Because of the law of associa-
ton, which psychologists tell US is
as certain as the law of attraction.
You should have risen to the occa-
sion and, under the application of
the principle of incongruities, re-
piled, Fourth aisle, second counter

had the laugh on me, as the prob
ability of your hazard in correctly
establishing a location concerning
which you had no personal knowl-
edge would have been one in a thou
sand.
81 took you for a foorwalker
upon the same principle that one
man at a reception will ask another
man in a dress suit to bring him
some ices, provided the other man
has a smoothly shaved face, for the
first man knows that all walters are
smoothly shaved, but all gentlemen
are not, and walters often have bet
ter manners, if not better birth,
than the men they may serve.
''There is usually a hall mark
which distinguishes one man from
another or one class Of men from
others. In stores customers of both
sexes wear hats. Foorwalkers and
salespeople do not. in addressing

man moving among other men who

ed as to a location concerning which
the men with hats were unlikely to
be acquainted with.
at is the same at receptions. The
average smooth faced man in a
dress suit looks like his neighbor-
he may be a little taller or shorter
or have little more or a little less
hair on his head, but the deadly
sameness of facial construction and
the identical cut of the dress suit
level them all. The man with a
mustache is never the victim of the
Tguest-waiter mixup' by reason of
the operation of the same law of
association, because no one ever as
sociates the waiter with the mus
tache. If walters are to wear dress
suits they should be required to
wear bright metal buttons"
"Then floorwalkers should be re-
qmred to wear uniforms" remark
ed the man without a hat, replacing
his headpiece to prevent another
instance of mistaken identity

IT IS INSPIRING

There is something inspiring in the contemplation of Gov. Swineford, past his allotted three score and ten and in feeble health, going to the national capital, there to engage in combat with younger men possessing the strongest kind of selfish motives to spur them on to activity, all in behalf of the plain people of Alaska and for the vindica- tion of the American principle of self government that has been disregarded by the federal government in it's deal ings with Alaska. The action of Gov Swineford in accepting this task is one of highest patriotism. Should he be never so successful as on this mission the fruits of his labors will be for those whom he ere long will leave behind when he steps from this world to the great beyond.
 Gov. Swineford may feel assured that he takes with him on his journey across the continent the gratitude and well-wishes of his fellow Alaskans, and that whether or not he accomplishes that which he so greatly desires to ac' complish his name will ever be revered by the people of the great North for his selfsacrifcing labors in their behalf, and by lovers of liberty and selfgovern- ment wherever they may learn of his steadfastness in behalf of right, justice and truth.-Skagway Alaskan.

TREADWELL TOPICS.

The Leelanaw is unloading coal at the Treadwell wharf, the Eureka having left Saturday night.
 Everything is in full swing once more around the works now that the weather is itself again. The work at the foundry and assay office was inter- rupted somewhat by the heavy winds. Lillie Willis is sick with tonsilitis.
 Mrs. John Richards spent several days with her daughter, Mrs. w. w. Shorthill, during the cold spell.
 MT. Tom Juhlin, an assistant at the assay office, has recently become a Benedict. He took for his bride Miss (Captain) Crawford, of the Salvation Army. We wish them much joy.
 Though not exactly comfortable, :.the Treadwell school was able to continue throughout the bad weather. Four heroic lads--Jacob Manning, Frank Caraway, Paul Carpenter, and John Gurvich were present and punctual every day. This shows fine school spirit when one considers the distance that the three first mentioned have to %. Indeed the entire attendance was decidedly better than could be expect ed and reflects credit on parents and pupils alike.
 An interesting meeting of the Tread we'll fire department took place last Monday evening, fnll attendance of members being present. The following program was rendered.:
 Tug of War-Treadwellvs. Mexican Five men on a team. Won by the Mexicans by very narrow margin.
 3-Round Boxing Match-Cummings vs. Gilligan-A draw.
 Exhibition of Ledgerdemain-Signor Erdal-A very clever exhibition of black magic by past master of the art.
 Wrestling Contest, Catch-as-Catch- Can-Andy vs. Sandy-Each got fall and so the bout was declared draw.
 Recitation-Mr. Darrall
 2-Rouud Boxing Contest-Museth vs. Warren-A fine go between the two peerless featherweights. A draw.
 2-Round Boxing Match-Hager vs. Gillice.
 Clay pipes and tobacco were on tap for everyone. This meeting was one of the most enjoyable of the winter.

Turns up in Texas.

Winston Salem, jan, g.
About a week ago Peter Easley,
the only colored man connected
with the mail carrying force here,
mysteriously disappeared. de-
was not heard from until yester-
day when Chief of Police Thomas
received a telegram from Fort
Worth. Texas. asking if Easley
was wanted here.
Chief Thomas Investigated and
found that the colored man had
left a number of debts unpaid.
The postofice force and letter
carriers had loaned him amounts
varying from SIS to more than a
500. His wife claims to have
known nothing Of his departure.
He was appointed carrier when the
service was first established, dul-
ing the administration of Dr.. W.
H. Wheeler as postmaster. The
negro had the confidence of both
white people and black. The Of
ficer at Fort Worth was notified
that Easley had done nothing for
which he could be arrested

TiIlman and Roosevelt.

It is cruel in Tie News and
Courier, Charleston, N. c., to d.
rect attention to the fact that
Senator Tillman, who was Govern
or of the State in 1894, did "xact-
" what he now censures the
President so bitterly for doing
dismissed without honor an entire
company of the State militia.
There Is no possible doubt that
Tillman did just that thing. The
documents to prove it are on file.
Tillman as an opponent of violent
methods in office and stickler for
the rights of local -self-govern-
ment is a good deal Of a joke.
On the occasion, to which The
News and Courier alludes, he de-
clares two counties of the State in
Instruction and put them under
martial law because of a row re-
sulting from searches of private
residences by his dispensary con-
stables. In this trouble a good
citizen and one of the consteb'es,
we believe, were killed and the
constables we're chased away.
Tillman OVERRIDE county and mu-
nicipal authorities. He seized
telegraph offices, and not only sent
troops to the counties, but threat
ened to turn loose on the city of
Columbia a rabble of volunteers
of his partisans and to suppress
the publication of the State news
paper. The members of the
company he disbanded, sent their
designations unanimously rather
than perform the distasteful task
assigned thvm of supervising all
kilograms sent and received by
their fellow-cltizens at the West
ern Union office in Columbia.
For the man who d.sbanded a
militia company, composed of re-
spectacle Southern white men,
because it refused to censor pri-
vate kilograms, to assail the man
who discharged a negro battalion
for murder, riot and conspiracy
committed against white people
is a very remarkable exhibit II
of impudence.-Richmond News

MINE SWlNDI.ER.
Wanted to Answer Charges Of SwiqdIing
Investors Out Of 81, 600, 900.

Philadelphia, Jan, 4.-R. C.
Flower, alias G. G.. Dalney, who
has been q fugitive from New
York since 1903. where he is want
ed to answer charges of grand lar
ceny and swindling credulous in
veste rs out of about 1000, 100 on
alleged bogus mining operations,
was arrested in this city today.
Flower, who the detectives say,
is the most colossa; mine swindl-
er of the age, was captured In a
room in one of the big office
buildings in the centre Of the city,
where it develops he has been To-
Gated for some time. Under the
name of Prof Oxford, the detec-
tives say, he was seeking to secure
money from investors by repre-
senting that he had a wonderful
chemical process whereby he could
ma Q diamonds and other precious
stones and a patent brick.
The arrest of Flower ends a
chase by the detectives and postal
authorities, that carried them
through Mexico, Central America,
part of South America and Can
ada, besides many points IN the
United States. Following his
operations in New York, through
which, it is said by detectives,
many society women lost money.
Flower jumped bail after indict-
ment in May, 1903, He was IN
der $4,000 bond.
v hen the detectives eventually
ran him down, they found that he
was so changed in appearance that
they could scarcely recognize him.
As Prof. Oxford he was apparent
ly a benevolent old gentlemtn tho
wore a long white beard, and
though the detectives had photo.
graphs Of him, they were afraid
they had made a mistake and kept
him under surveillance for sever
al days before they we're willing
to make the arrest. When he
was taken into custody he denied
being the missing DR., Flower, but
after being placed in a cell at the
central station, admitted his iden-
tity.
