ANOTHER PAPER2

Under the heading "Knows a Good Thing the Juneau Dispa oh has the following nice tribute fer The Alaskan:
 '.The Skagway Alaskan knows a good thing when they see it, Being iu the hands Of a trained ntwspaperman, they naturally secured the best telegraphic service. Formerly they took a small Try service prepared on the top floor of the Alaska building, now they have SC cured the Skagwsy link in the big Unit ed Press service, which gives he news up to o'clock daily. In commenting ou the change, the Skagway Alaskan says:
 The Daily Alaskan wish this issue becomes 8 member of the United Press service, which operates a leased wire .hroughou, Alaska. The new service will make t possible for The Alaskan to give the news of the outside world up .o lhe holr Of 1 o'clock in the ai CT noon. which was impossible under the old. The present service Is much more expensive, but The Alaskan has faith iu iIs patrons and believes that the ad- diuoosl expense jn the matter Of ser vice will be overcome by the increase ID patronage"
 The Alaskan takes a psrdouable pride in he knowledge that it's efforts to give Skagway & good paper are being appreciated abroad as well as at home. The fact that 8 weekly newspaper is to be established iu this city in no manner effects he Alaskan. In the first place it feels certain that the business men will not patronize a wi l-o.-the-wisp campaign sheet that will have no sub s.sntial reasoo for entering the field in fact, have no excuse for coming eX- cept to espouse the cause or s political buccanezr who canuO. get the support Of this newspaper. The Alaskan IS being run as business proposition and wears DO mans collar. It will not prostitute i,ssIt to a defense Of Perso2s who are against the welfare of Alaska, and when the weekly newspaper, which will do so, does come, if it comes as is threatened, it will DO. find The Alaskan sldesepptug in opposing any issue which it's owners may see St to advocate that is agains, the people.

sd that the republicans of this city are broad enough to attack an evil, even if Is within their own p,rty lines, and can not help but do untold good in the fight which will be shortly taken up in au organized manner toasrds relieving Alaska of the incubus that is at ,he head of the Alaskan government.
 Governor Hoggatt IS outside the pale of the Republican organization and he is bitterly loathed by Alssksus generally, therefore, The Alaskan cannot figure oul by what unheared scheme of reck- oning the Governor has induced himself to believe that he stands he slightest show in the world of being nOmlna ed as Delegate to Congress, which aspir - tion, The Alaskan is authorttatiVely in- formed, he Is carefully nursing.

BABY WASTED TO
MERE SKELETON
In Torments a Year and a Half with
Terrible Sores on Face and Body
Hands Tied to Stop Scratching
and Tearing at Flesh But
CURE BY CUTICURA
COMPLETE AND SPEEDY

"My little son, when about year
and half old began to have sores
come out on his face. l had ply
sician treat him, but the sores grew worse.
Then they began to come on his arms,
then on other parts of his body, and
then one came on his chest, worse than
the Others. Then called another physi-
clan. Still he grew worse. At the end
of about a year and half of suffering
he grew so bad had to tie his hands
IN cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk. My
aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. So great was her faith
in it that she gave me small piece Of
Cuticura Soap to try and a little
Cuticura Ointment. I took it home
without any faith, but to please her, l
tried it, and it seemed to dry up the
sores a little. sent to the drug store
and got q cake of Cuticura Soap and q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and followed
the directions, and at the end of about
two months the sores were all we'll. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,
and J. can sincerely say that only for
your most wonderful remedies my pre-
cious child would have died from those
terrible sores. I used only one cake OF
Soap and about three boxes of Ointment.

Message Came Twelve Thousand
Miles When Picked Up.

While Morconi experts were testing
new receiving cones at the top OF the
tower at the station at Port Morien
last week. an operator was in COM
munication with the wireless station
at Manila. The message received was
that the American cruiser Phlladel-
phia had arrived.
The Marconi people account for the
occurrence by the theory that tine
cone at Manila must. have been III
perfect tune with that ait Port Morien.
The message from Manila was
picked up" while being sent to
some other station on the Pacific or
to a war vessel The message was
recorded at the time by an operation
in the receiving rom at the Marconi
station.
At the time the experts were ex-
perimenting in an effort to receive
messages from Ireland. They re-
ceived several messages from the
Irish station, and were in the act Of
making further tests when the instru-
ments recorded the arrival Of the
Philadelphia at Manila.

sage was undoubtedly sent by the
Manila station, which is about l2,-

GHOSTS WERE BUSY BEES.
Leaking Honey Explains Mystery o
Haunted House In Maryland.

Haunted House In Maryland.
The mystery surrounding the alleged
haunted chamber in the residence OF
DR.. Thomas Fell, president of ST.
Johns college, at Annapolis, Md, has
been cleared up by the discovery Of an
immense hive of bees under the floor
ing.
1t is thought that the; thousands of
busy little workers had been making
their abode there for some six or eight
years. After the bees had been either
exterminated or driven out hive or
honey eight feet long and sixteen
inches deep was found. 1t is estimated
that there were $50 pounds of it, and
the family Of Dr. Fell has honey
enough for its buckwheat cakes for
some time to come. "
The bees and their hive were dis
covered by the honey, which began to
leak through the ceiling and dropped
on the dining room table, which was
directly below. Kerosene and sulphur
candles were used to either drive the
bees out or kill them. There were
thousands of them. The floor of the
room was torn up to complete the job.
Only one person was stuns, DR.. Fe!.s
steward. The bees had made their way
beneath the flooring through small
crack under q window sill, and it Is re-
markable that their presence had not
become known long before this. The
spare room has generally been used by
DR.. Fell's guests, many Of whom have
complained or hearing strange noises
at night. but members of the family
laughed the matter into ridicule.

At PISTOL s POINT,
Young Woman Driven to Altar at
Asbury Park.
SAVED BY THE MINISTER.

Clergyman Licks Would Be Bride

Parents DisapprovaI.
Driven to the altar at pistols point,
Miss Belle Grouse, the pretty young
daughter Of Rev. n. P. Grouse, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church of
Stauhope, n. j., broke down in the
midst of marriage ceremony which
in another moment would have made
her the, wife Of Percy Bissell.
4 Throwing herself upon the officiating
clergyman, Rev. DR.. c. NJ. Griffin, pas
tor of the First Methodist church Of
Asbury Park, n. j., Sue cried hySteric-
ally how her lover had forced her to
the altar at the point of revolver.
Instantly there was a lively mixup,
DIR. Griffin clinchiiig with the suitor,
throwing him 10 the floor and binding
his arms. Then he took his revolver
away and, standing guard over the
PROSTATE form Of young Bissell, sent
Miss Grouse for policeman. Instead
she rushed to q cottage in Ocean Grove
where she was stopping with her par
ents.
Later Bissell broke away from the
Methodist parsonage, where the cere-
mony had been going on, and again
forced his attentions on Miss Grouse,
though in order to do so he had to
ibreak through a window of the Ocean
Grove house.
At this stage of the proceedings a
policeman interviewed and, taking Bis
sell to the station, started him off on
a train for New York. The Grouse
family refused to make charges against
him and pleaded that the fracas be
ihushed up.
Great efforts were made to keep the
affair from the public. The principals
have enjoyed high social standing in
Stanhope. Miss Grouse, daughter of
the Presbyterian pastor, is exceedingly
pretty and is social favorite in the
town. She recently graduated from
Blair Hall.
Bissell is the son of prominent resi-
dents Of Stanhope and until recently
sang in the Presbyterian church choir.

HOW TO MIX IT.
The Directions to Prepare Simple
Home Mixture.
Tells You How To Overcome Rheu-
matism With Simple Recipe, Which
Is Easily Mixed.

A weIl-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparflla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle,
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to ever
come almost any case of Rheuma-
tism. The pain and swelling, if any,
diminishes with each dose, until per-
manent results are obtained, and
without iniuring the stomach. While
there are many so-called Rheumatism
remedies patent medicines, etc.,
some of which do give relief, few
really give permanent results, and
the the above will, no doubt, be great
ly appreciated by many sufferers here
at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicts the information
that these drugs are harmless and
can be bought separately, or the
druggists here will mix the prescrip-
tion for our readers if asked to.
