unexpected losses. After this pay
ment a maximum dividend of 4 per
cent may be paid on the banks stock,
and any further surplus is to be divid-
ed according to provisions made be-
tween the different Swiss cantons and
the confederation. The confederation
is to have Representatives on the DIFF
efrent boards controlling the bank, is
to nominate the general directing
board and the local boards, and is to
approve reports through the federal
council.
The bank is to enjoy these privi-
leges 20 years, after which the con-
federation can renew the privilege for
10-year period or can take over the
bank on basis agreed upon.

The Habit of Voting.

The habit of casting vote has to be
learned like any other habit, says Tai
colt Williams, in The Reader. Men
have to be trained in the use of new
ballot. Up to 1885 and 1890, when
the Australian ballot came in, all
voters had known only the single
rarty ballot. For the first ten years
of the Australian ballot men went on
voting on the old lines. Its introduce
tion worked no great change. Men
continued to vote "the straight ticket"
as they had before. There was
period when the boss felt he had
yielded to reformers on the Australian
ticket and had gained rather than lost.
Statutes permitting aid to the ignor-
ant voter facilitated check upon
voters venal or pledged to the MAJ
chine. The count was made more
cumbrous, and under many statutes
election officers more easily manipu-
lated the new ballot than the old.
"The straight ticket once lay on
American politics like an obsession.
In 1879, when a few young college
81 duudlSo III 4NcW 1OIh Guy, lIlOSL VI
whom are known today, and for most
of whom this was their first step in
active politics, organized the Scratch
err" campaign against A. B. Cornell,
the machine republican candidate for
governor. this group of reformers did
rot even venture to say they proposed
TO vote the democratic ticket. They
only urged that an unfit republican
candidate be Scratched and when
Cornell ran 10000 votes behind his
ticket it was plain that at least this
number of voters had preferred
scratching his name to voting for an
irreproachablel democratic candidate,
Robinson. 1t is far cry from that
day to the campaign of 1905, when a
republican cabinet officer, Secretary
Taft, could go into Ohio and demand
the defeat of the republican machine
ticket as rebuke to Cox, the repub-
lican boss in Cincinnati.

short lines which are in use the year
round. but the only railroad which at
this time is a factor in reaching Alas
la with supplies is the line, a little
over hundred miles in length, which
connects Skaguay on the coast with
the head of navigation of the Yukon,
and this is useful only during the
short time when the river is open.
1.-THE use of wheeled vehicles need
not be considered, for their use is
confined to the towns. The present
Alaska Road Commission is doing ef-
fective work in laying out and build
ing roads, but these highways for
years to come must be of the most
primitive kind, fit only for dog sleds
in winter and pack trains In the sum-
mer. The means of transportation,
then, are:
IN summer
River steamboats,.
Tugboats, along the coast.
Pack animals.
Poleboats and canoes.
FlatbOats and RATS
Pack carried by men.
In winter
Horse sleds.
Reindeer SledS.
Dog team sleds.
Sleds drawn by men,.
Packs carried by men.
"All bases OF supplies must be
stocked between June Is and October
! The hundreds of tons of supplies
are carried to these bases by boats,
stern-wheeled steamers like those
used on the Ohio and Mississippi riv-
ers which tow barges of supplies just
AS coal is towed from Pittsburg.
These boats draw about IS inches of
water and have been built in the
United States and either shipped in
sections or steaming from Seattle I'M
der convoy of ocean steamers. When
the cold weather comes they are
hauled into some sheltered creek and
teached high enough to be safe from
the ice when it breaks in the spring.
The Long Winter Journeys.
From the base where the steamer
discharges her cargo it must be
transported further into the wilder
less and all the supplies for the long
winter are packed to the camps,
sometimes on horses, but more often
by boats and canoes if there is water
enough. Owing to the scarcity of
forage the horse is difficult animal
to care for and the boat is favored.
They are long and narrow and are
propelled either by polling or by tow
ing, one of the crew dragging the
boat by line when the shore is pass
able. When the water becomes too
shallow for the pole boat the canoe is
used and the last stages of the Jour-
ney may be made in 50-pound packs
en- the back of Indians.
"The heavier part of the outfit is
cached or buried at the point where
the boats stoD and the prospectOr
waits for the fall of snow when his
sleds and dog teams may light the
work of transporting the ton of sup
plies needed to carry each person of
the party through the winter.
"In the states winter means bad
roads, mud. flooded streams with too
much water and not enough ice to
carry. In Alaska the "freeze-up" is
the magic key which opens wide the
trails to every valley and mountain
fastness. 1t is natures unlimited
franchise to the Sour dough pros
pector, the trader and the fur hunter.
Every stream becomes highway and
the rough surface Of the tundra is
leveled by layer after LAYER of snow.
Then the sled is BROUGHT out and
transportation Is at its best.

we mean no disrespect to the present
speaker of the American congress In
this statement.
The pig. naturally, is the cleanest
animal In the world, and Uncle Joes"
is one Of the cleanest men in public
life. The pig is obstinate, and Mr..
Cannon, can't be made to do a thing
he don't want to do. The president
and the senate have made this discoy-
cry. There Is no style about a pig,
and there is none about "Uncle Joe."
A. pig is honest, and Cannon's name is
synonym for rigid honesty the world
Ground. II a pig does not get what he
wants he squeals little, grunts lit
tle,iwaits and tries again. That is Can
non. He set his cap for the speaker
ship. He was candidate the time Mr..
Reed was elected the first time. He
didn't get 1t and he didn't expect it. He
simply grunted and bided his time.
When Reed, disgruntled, retired from
the office. "Uncle Joe" thought his
time had come, but the Illinois delega-
ton answering the demand Of the ma
chine, endorsed Hopkins which re-
suited in the election of Gen. Hender-
son, Cannon squealed quite loudly, but
asqutesced. A pig is always regular
and SO is Cannon. When Gen. Hender-
son retired, Cannon poked his nose 10
the front and won out. a pig is cum
ming, and Cannon is the cutest man in
public life. Over and over again we
have known him to head off danger
GUS proposition by shrewdness.
During President ,Harrlson's admin
istration the w. c. T. U. ladies', in rec
ognition of the fact that Mrs. Harrison
refused to serve wine at the state din
ners, presented her with magnificent
sideboard. When the White house
was renovated this sideboard was sold
at auction, and it was reported that it
was purchased by Washington So
loonkeeper. A shrewd democrat, think
ing to make political capital, in an i'm
passionate speech, recited the facts ct
presentation, and then in tragic voice
exclaimed "My God! What has be-
come of the sideboard?" Mr.. Cannon
arose in his place and said: at is re-
ported on good authority that Dolly
Madison used to dry her wash in the
East room of the White house. My
God! What has become of the clothes

Uncle joe in action is worth going
many miles to see. He starts in mildly
and gently, but as he warns to his
speech he pulls up his sleeves, sheds
his cuffs. tears of his collar, and A.
ways winds up covered with glory and
perspiration.
A pig is common and so is> Cannon.
In his home at Danville, H., he Is
known as Uncle Joe." and when a

term him "uncle," he always possesses
many lovable qualities. The sobriquet

ton. Now his fame has increased

DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and st. Vitus'
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment, Their double action, on the
blood and on the nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.

The Arnold-Dickson brothers spir-
itualistic mediums, conducted their usual
Sunday night meeting in the hall In the
basement of their building. 369 East Third
South street, last night. There were no
'materializations." George j. Arnold,
who was convicted in police court last
week of having vieiously assaulted aged
Mary NJ. Brandon, led the meeting. and.
still smarting under the conviction, de-
livered drastic denunciation off The
Herald
The fact that The Herald has printed a
number Of exposures Of the methods of
Arnold and Dickson prompted the speaker
TO denounce this paper in vigorous and
emphatic language.
Arnold announced that he and his part
ner were prepared to fight and would
spend all the money they had in the fight
If it is found necessary. The crop of
victims has been so large. and the re-
turns so satisfactory that in order TO
spend all they have made here by prey
ing on the sorrows of the bereaved. the
afflicted and the gullible, they will, in
the language of the street, have TO go
some" They have already made a flying
start in this direction by retaining a high
priced criminal lawyer to care for their
interests
We will spend every cent we have got
TO fight this bunch" declared Arnold with
emphasis. "Mr. Dickson's father will put
his personal fortune into it. He will be
here in few days and then there will be
something doing. A personal legal battle
will come then.

meeting. There will be the version of the
professional liar who makes his living
that way, and the true version.

per it makes me think of the saloon that

will be paid 81 an hour for his time taken
