 When the first news of the violent earthquake and consequent fires at San Francisco reached us, some were in cliuea to doubt the authenticity of the report, but ere long as bulletin after bulletin was posted, we were made to realize that an awful calamity had real ly happened and that our relatives and friends were in danger, and were per haps homeless and suffering intensely. To make matters worse, we could not send message to or receive any word from the suffering ones. However by Sunday evening cablegrams began to come, each bringing the cheering news from loved ones saying that all was well, but homes burned. Others are auxiously awaiting news from afar off and we hope that the word will soon come.
 A message was received by Mir. Stow saying that Mrs. Stow was safe at Oro- vile, Calif., she having left Frisco as soon as possible after the first shock of the earthquake.
 Supt. and Mrs. R. A. Kinzie received word also saying that their family was safe at Alameda.
 We are informed that the San Fran cisco office of the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Go. was destroyed by fire.
 Mr. E.J.N. Ott received word from his sister at Nevada City, saying that his sister and family in San Francisco were safe, but were burned out and had lost everything in the big fire.
 Mrs. A. E. Christoe accompanied by her son John, will leave on the City of Seattle for visit to Nevada City, Cali fornia.
 Mrs. R. J. Willis and daughter Lil- Han will return from Seattle on the steamer Humboldt.
 Arrangements have been made for a matched game at the Treadwell Bowl ing Alleys between the Customs House team of Juneau and the Treadwell Takus.
 A small blaze on the roof of the coal bunkers on the wharf called out Com pany No. 4, on Monday afternoon about two o'clock but was extinguished so quickly that we could not consien- tiously call it a fire.
 Capt. Tompkins' launch parties are becoming quite the fashion these lovely summer days and evenings. Last night a small party left Treadweu about seven o'clock for trip down as far as the Indian village this side of the Taku. The party consisted of Messrs. H. P. Stow, Mark Smith, Jas. Daniels, c. w. Johnson, H H. Sterling, L. B. Johnson, HID. Dohrman, and J. F. Tompkins. All report having had very pleasant outing.
 The Treadwen Hall of Justice was called to life on Saturday night to i'm. pose a sentence of ten days and costs on one of the native Alaskans who had unfortunately been indulging in little disorderly conduct.
 Last Thursday morning Messrs. o. W. Erdal and John Morrison departed on the launch Grace B. for Sitka,where they are expected to remain about ten days.

 On account of the great calamity which has overtaken the people of San Francisco, the reception which was to be given in honor of our recently ap- pointed Governor, Hon. w. B.

MILLIONS
Coast Capital Likely
to Be invested
Here.

That the insurance situation in San
Francisco is untangling itself in a sat
fsfactorv way is demonstrated by the
following extract from a letter dated
June 16, received by Col. G. w. Mac
lfarlane, from P. \. Lilienthal, manager
of the Anglo-Californian Bank:
The insurance time for filing proofs
OF loss expired on Saturday last. A
reference to our daily papers, copies
of which you doubtless receive, will
give you a fair insight into the insur-
ance situation. The good companies
of them have made large settlements
already 50,00O,000 is likely to be paid
out during the next few months of
which not more than six or seven mill
lion have so far been settled. This
means a great amount of money to look
for investment pending rebuilding of
the city, and will help the price of Sc
curities in Honolulu, as we believe that
money will temporarily seek invest
rnent there in good sugar stocks and
bonds
Meanwhile general business is re-
viving, and contracts for a number of
very fine buildings have been entered
into. It will all take time, but We all
feel young enough to keep at it, and
help build up. Raw sugar appears to
be firm, and the general situation so
much clarified. that money should seek
investment there
The paying out of s15O,000;O00 should
favorably affect Hawaii for it will be
a long time before so large sum can
be expended in the rehabilitation of
San Francisco. Meanwhile, its owners
will be looking for dividend-paying Sc
curities in which to invest their money.
Many of San Franchises prime Sc
curities went to the wall in the great
disaster, such as Spring Valley Water
works, Gas and Electric, United Streets
Railroad Company and the Telephone
Company. Other channels for invest
ment must therefore be looked for and
in this respect San Francisco's i'll wind
should blow Hawaii much good.
The good companies mentioned in Lii
ienthaFs letter are what are known as
the hundred per cent companies, as
contradistinct from those which have
decided to pay only seventy-f1ve per
cent. of the fire claims against them.

The following resolution was adopted
at the meeting Of the Republican La

TELLS BY
THEIR SLEEP

81 can tell by my little
ones sleep when a cold is
coming on said a mother
when speaking of the advance
symptoms of colds in children.
=" They toss about, are rest
less, their breathing is heavy
and there are symptoms of
night sweats. The next morn
ing | start with SCOTS Emul-
sion. The chances are that
in a day or two they are all
over it. Their rest is again
peaceful and the breathing
normal"
Here's a suggestion for
all mothers. SCOTS Emul-
sion always has been almost
magical in its action when
used as the ounce of proven
ton. Nothing seems to over
come child weakness quite so
effectively and quickly as
SCOTS Emulsion.

At a special meeting yesterday after
noon, of the executive committee of the
Anti-Saloon League a platform for the
coming election was submitted and
adopted. This platform was presented
to the meeting in the form of a report
from the committee on legislation, be-
ing unanimously adopted, and is as fol-
lows:
primary elections which will determine
who shall be candidates for the next
Legislature and how the platforms win
be worded. AT this juncture it behooves
in principle for the abolition of the
saloon, to make every effort to secure
a Legislature that will enact wise and
salutary liquor laws.
Your committee is happy to find that
it's task of suggesting notifications to
the present saloon laws has been made
ton. This able and public-spirited or
ganiZation has given much study to the
question and has issued an appeal to
the voters of the Territory urging them
to demand that all candidates for cleo
ton to the next Legislature pledge
themselves to enact into law SENA-
TOR DICKEY'S LOCAL OPTION
BILL and so to amend the present
liquor law:
First. That all ffth-class licenses
be abolished. (s100.)
Second. That the annual fee for
fourth-class licenses be $1,000 CNow
5000
Third. That in every case of appli-
cation for license the Treasurer be di-
rected to publish the fact of his receipt
of such application for four consecutive
weeks before issuing the same, in a
newspaper having general circulation
in the precinct where the license is to
be exercised.
Fourth. That opponents of the
granting OF a license be given the right
to arbitrate the decision on the same
terms as the applicant
Fifth. That signers of petitions for
licenses lee restricted to real estate
owners within the prescribed limits.
Sixth. That saloons be not allowed

LIFE PICTURE OF ACCUSED AND GIRL
East orange Woman Ont Upon Lake
 Hoard Voice of One In Peril en the Evening of Grace Browns Death.

HERKIMER, N. r., Nov. 22.-Dls- trict Attorney Ward continued to forge the links in the chain of circumstantial evidence he is endeavoring to build up against Chester E. Gillette, who is on trial for, his life as the alleged shy CT of his sweetheart, Grace Brown, of Cortland.
 Mir. Ward is presenting his evidence in the form of narrative picturlng as many events in the lives of the two young people from the first time they were thrown together until the body of the girl was found in Big Moose lake last July as he has been able to trace from minute study and investi- gation of all their affairs.
 The prosecutor succeeded, against the bitter protests of the defendants counsel. in getting before the jury what Is said to be his most direct evi- dence that crime was committed that eventful day in the Adirondacks.
 He put upon the stand Mrs. Mar garet Carey of East Orange, N. J., who with her husband had gone for a row in the south bay of Big Moose lake the evening young Gillette and Miss Brown set out upon the Journey which ended in the latter's death. Mrs. Carey de clared that she had been startled by hearing a piercing scream coming from near the east shore of the bay.
 "It was the cry of person in peril, the witness added.
 This voluntary statement called forth a storm of objections from the defense, and 1t was ordered stricken from the records. Mrs. Carey was allowed to state it as her opinion that the cries were undoubtedly those of woman.
 Witnesses were next introduced to tell of the young couple going for the Hateful row upon the lake. It was here that Gillettes counsel made much of an admission secured from one of the states witnesses, the proprietor of the Glenmore hotel at Big Moose lake. He stated that Gillette had told him that he and the young lady wished to take a ride on the lake in the steam boat which is on the waterway. The hotel man, Andrew Morrison. told Gil- lette that if he went by steamer he would not be able to return in time for dinner Morrison declared it was he who suggested to Gillette that he and the girl take rowboat.
 Next were introduced witnesses who saw Gillette making his way on foot that night from Big Moose lake to- ward Eagle bay. The purser of the lake steamer Uncas said Gillette boarded the craft there and rode to Arrowhead, where he spent the night at hotel. The defense endeayored to draw from the witnesses the fact that Gillette's clothes had the appear ance of man who had recently fallen overheard. No one noticed him close ly enough to say.
 The proprietor of the Arrowhead ho- tel said Gillette had brought down a pair of trousers to be pressed, and they apparently had been thoroughly soaked in water. The fact that Gil lette took suit case, umbrella, cam era and tennis racket with him in the rowboat was dwelt upon by the prose. cution.
