Ruined by Rats.

The Incorporated Society for the Destruction of Vermin has decided to take legal action to settle whether it is an offense to harbor rats. Evidence against several municipal authorities has been collected, and summons will shortly be applied for.
 Mir. A. c. Poors, the secretary, says that the question arose out of a report concerning a London restaurant keeper who had been made bankrupt by rats. Some premises adjoining his place had been pulled down, and the rats, ejected from their old haunts, invaded the res taurant in swarms, despite all attempts to keep them out.
 One day 8 large rat jumped from the stairs leading from the first floor on to table where two ladies were dining and caused a stampede. The place be- came known as the "Rat-pit" and cus- tom gradually declined. The proprie- tor is now q waiter, having lost all his savings.--Ex.

Peculiarly of Ice
 on the SIOugE

If stranger in this city were to un- dertake to cross the slough on the ice some moonlight night after the wind had swept the snow off, it is very prob- able that he would take very crooked course or else turn back and cross by the bridge.
 The looks of the ice on the slough, is not reassuring. Every few feet there are big scrawly black spots, each of which looks more ikea devilfish or oc- topus' than anything else, and which gives the ice the appearance of being full of holes.
 These spots are caused by the warm water of the springs coming up under the ice which keeps the ice clear and transparent at all times. The water spreading in all directions causes long shoots or arms to appear, which gives it the resemblance of an octopus. In reality the<ice over these warm springs is fully as thick as elsewhere and is perfectly safe.

Will Lay Pipe
 on Front Street

The committee in charge of the ar engagements to provide some sort of fire protection for the city have decided upon a plan which, if followed, they believe will afford ample protection for the business district during the coming winter.
 They propose to purchase about 35O feet of 2-inch pipe which will be con- nected to the big fire pump at the saw mill, and lay it down the main street to point about opposite Stanley's Ho- tel, where ahydrant will be placed. A sufficient amount of hose to reach any portion of tho street will be bought and kept connected to the pipe at all times so as to be ready for instant use.
 Besides this pipe and hose, which will be the main protection, buckets, raging hooks, ladders, etc. will be se- cured. Harry Helms, the most enthus- iastic member of the department, has already secured the ladders; two twenty feet in length and one sixteen feet. This is the first equipment and it is ex- pected the rest will soon be secured.
 The hose will have to be purchased in Fairbanks and the committee will soon be able to report the cost of the entire apparatus.

A. B. Ferguson and Fred Cassidy left Monday morning for Quail creek. MT. Ferguson recently purchased some ground on that creek from Cassidy and Olson, and intends to thoroughly pros pect it this winter. He has purchased small boiler and provisions at Ram part, and these started for Quail about the time Ferg left here, and should be there when he arrives.
 Captain Donovan is associated with MT. Ferguson, and together they will locate the pay this winter on the ground they have acquired, and be ready for big work the first thing in the spring
 Mir. Ferguson is not feeling very well since the election. He says the people of the United States are all wrong when they think Taft is better man than Bryan, and if he had been there he might have offset the powerful in- fluence of Col. c. Ethelbert Claypool, and changed the result.

Severe Case of

Tokio, Oct. 26.-It has been an nounced here that Admiral Sperry, of the visiting American fleet, has de- clared his intention of recommending to the war department the dismissal from the service of Lieut.. Evans, son of Admiral Evans, retired, on account of the recent findings of the court mar tial at Manila. Young Evans was found guilty of disrespect to his supe- rior officers, and has been guilty of such gross misconduct several times on the present cruise that his behavior could not be further overlooked. His dishonorable discharge would be a ter rible blow to his father, and it is thought that consideration for him may move the department to commute his sentence

 The chop house is the first institu- tion of the kind on Sullivan creek, and will fill a long-felt want.

At the bar the Club has the best liquors that are made and the treatment which is accorded the patrons is always the best.

The Sullivan city laundry and bath house caught fire last Thursday and for 8 short time it looked as if the house was to be total loss.
 The fire caught on the lining of the roof surrounding the stovepipe, which was overheated, and soon spread to the walls. Otto Meyer, the proprietor, was in the house at the time, but it was due to the prompt action of the Tofty City Fire Department that the building was saved. No damage other than the loss of the lining was sustained.
