GOOD WORK TO BE DONE.
There is much good work TO be done
for the city by the council The minority
has been silent and passive many times
when few members of the majority
have been controlled and dictated by ex-
press orders from the machine represent

''I advise you. therefore, to nominate

The large increase in the number of excursiopists this year, is perhaps due to the fact that stopovers are now al. lowed. A great many people have taken advantage of this concession to make a visit of some length to different places. This is the best thing ever done by the steamboat companies for South eastern Alaska, as it will enable the visitors to not only see Alaska, but to learn something about it by actual ob- servation.

 Fred Garner, city assessor, has com- pIeted his work and turned in the as, sessment books to the city council Monday night. The council has not vet given out what the tax rate for 1907 will be, but it is probable that the rate of previous years will be doubled, and this years rate will be one per cent. 
 Dr. Harry c. De Vighne arrived in the city, via the Humboldt, Sunday night. and is established in the rooms over Elliot & Smiths Pharmacy, for merly occupied by Dr. Geho. Dr. De Vighne has lived at WrangeIl for the past three years, so he is already an AL askan.

 Anton KraseI, the tailor who has shop on Second street, carefully cleans and presses clothes so that they look like new again.

If so, you will find him next door to Henry Berry's ci- gar factory, on Second street. A card from Chas. A. Fox bears the intelligence that he has decided to give Alaska the shake, and will engage in the general merchandise business at Hartford, Wash.

But. all the same, we wish for him large meas ure of success in his new home.

Vulgarity and Sex.

Vulgarity. again. is certainly son,-
moner among men than women; and.
indeed when a woman Is vulgar, she
is apt to display the quality In high
perfection. The reason why It is
rare among women is that the emo
tional nature is stronger among wo-
men than among men; and thus,
where men are ambitious, fond Of
displaying power, Of recognition, wo-
men are sympathetic. tender, affec-
tionate subtle; they value relations
with others more than perform
ances they encourage and console,
because they are interested In the
person who desires sympathy more
than in the aims which he nourishes
II ones main interest in life is in
the personalities that surround one.
one IS not likely to be tempted BY
vulgarity; because the essence,
again, of vulgarity is that 1t tends to
afllX on altogether fictitious value to
material things. A man who pur-
sues wealth, comfort, power, posi-
tion, is always In danger of vul-
garity.-Atlantic Monthly.

Trolley Connections Between Sun
bury and Williamsport.

The Danville news of yesterday
says
With the building of a trolley
line from Lewisburg to Mifflinburg;
with the Lewisburg, Milton &
Watsontown Passenger Railway
company planning to extend its line
to Sunbury; with Muncy and Mont
gomery connected by an auto line
that is to be put into operation with
the opening of the present summer,
the possibilities of having a COM
plete trolley connection between
Sunbury and Williamsport seems to
be a matter of but short space of
time.
All this activity has been made
possible by the erection of the new
bridge at Lewisburg, and the sub.
sequent announcement that the
trolley line would enter that town.

A Growing Form of Insanity.

The Pennsylvania railroad has
put a stop to the hazing of bridal
parties at its Wilmington station.
The Lewistown Sentinel thinks that
the application of the rule is too
limited. The railroad company
ought to enforce it at every station.
and if necessary the local police,
Constabulary and National Guard
should be called out and put an eff
fectual ban on this form of insanity
that breaks out at so many we'd
dings.
1t is wonder that the railroads
have tolerated this nuisance as long
as they have. 1t may be fun to
those who do it, but it is great
annoyance to modest young bride
and disgusting to passengers on the
train who have to endure it.

Chapter III

Eighteen months had passed, and
/ had at last induced Eva and her
mother to come to London.
One winters evening | entered the
train for Ealing. where they were
staying with friends, flung myself
into a corner of q second-class car
riage just as the guard blew his
whistle. A moment later, while the
train was In motion, the handle rat
tied, and the door flew open to ad-
NIT another passenger. Without
glancing at him, pulled an evening
paper from my pocket and read.
It was the third week In Decem-
Der, and the weather was detestable
Driven against the windows by vio-
lent gusts of wind, the rain showered
like hailstones upon the panes.
Suddenly my attention was at
tracted toward my fellow passenger,
who rose and crossed quickly toward
me, uttering strange, unintelligible
sounds.
| looked up, and saw, to my hor-
ror, the man with the glass eye! A
fierce fire of murderous hatred leaped
from his one living eye as he raised
his bony hands toward my throat. I
felt the touch Of his sinewy fingers
upon my neck.
Then / struggled. 1t was for life.
Evading his grasp at last, sprang to
my feet, and, drawing the sword
from the cane ! carried, stood ready
for second attack.

THE VIRTUE OF LEANNEss.
A Partisan Writer Regards Short
People With Suspicion.

Let me have men about

makes Caesar say to Marc
Anthony, when conflding TO
him his mistrust of the lean and
hungry" Cassius. But, according to
n Partisan writer, II is the fat people
who should be regarded with most
suspicion. He has just written a
book to prove that an abundance of
from indicating a frank. honest. gem
erous disposition. often serves as
mask for rascality and cunning. Ho
cites numerous examples from con-
tomporaneous French criminal nn-
nails to support his contention that
the most successful swindlers are
generally fat people, and that their
victims among the lean are legion.

point, combined with dishonesty.
Houlaine, the banker, who was
gifted with such rare talents for
transferring money from other
peoples pockets into his own, was

According to the French author,
not only are fat folk more likely to
be dishonest than thin ones, but
their obesity renders 1t easier for
them to perpetrate frauds. This.
he says. Is because OF the mistakon
notion that rotundity OF figure is an
indication that its possessor has Il
clear conscience; whereas in most
cases. 1t is the result of dealing dis.
honestly with ones stomach. On
the other hand, the lean person. Id
contends. is naturally less disposed
to be dishonest, and because OF thi
suspicion which his slim ngurd
arouses, finds it harder to carry out
financial swindles on large scale.

Nature has just one pigment ON
her palette with which she pro-
duces all the marvellous tints of
beauty, and that one pigment is the
blood. The shell-like pink beneath
the finger nails, the delicate rose of
the cheek, the cherry ripeness of
the lips, the irridescent brilliance
of the eyes are all produced by the
blood. Just as the permanence of
a beautiful painting will depend
upon the purity of the colors with
which it is painted, so the perman-
ence of beauty depends on the
purity of the blood. Paint. powder
and cosmetics won't avail to pre-
serve beauty, Beauty begins in
the blood. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is a true beauti-
her, because it provides for nature
that pure blood with which alone
she can paint, The use of this
medicine will cleanse the skin,
heighten the complexion, brighten
the eyes, and give to the face and
form that radiance of health which
is the greatest charm of beauty.
