HUSBAND DIES FOR
 SAKE OF HIS WIFE

Goldfeld, June 25-M. Taylor and Charles Priest, wealthy miners are dying as the result of a duel fought on the streets of Goldficld this morn ing, and crying and praying that Taylor's life may be spared the wo- man who's fair name is the cause of it all paces before the door behind which the doctors are trying against hope to save the life of her husband and that of her traduccr. It is be- lieVed that neither man has the slightest chance to recover.
 Taylor and Priest had been friends but tho latter's attentions to Mrs. Taylor caused this friendship to be lsevered. Priest, rebuffed by Mrs. dTaylor, made disparaging remarks jconcerning her character. Taylor Ilesrned what Priest had said and this }mornings when the men met on the |Ptreet]t was only few minutes be- fore guns were drawn with probably fatal results to both.

CHOLERA RAGING
 IN PHILIPPINES

Manila, June 25-Cholera has be- come an epidemic in the Philippines and is proving fatal to Americans and natives alike. At Camp Gregg, three soldiers and one civilian have succumbcd to the disease and there are several soldiers i'll. Reports from Pangasinan state that ninety three new cases were discovered there yes- terday and the death rate at Luzon is sixty according to the last report.
 The government is doing every thing in it's power to stay the ravages of the disease but it is admitted that the situation is more serious than it has ever been from this cause.

Washington, June 25-From the White House has come an admission showing that supineness on the part of the anti.Hoggatt faction of Alaska is responsible for the Hoggatt success at the national convention. The ad- mission further shows that the con vention was entirely dominated by President Roosevelt and that the lat ter did not even take the trouble to ascertain whether or not his desires and the arrangements of Frank Hitch cock, manager of the Taft campaign, were in any manner in conflict.
 It is admitted at the White House that Hitchcock entered into an agrcc- ment with Held of Juneau, at that time national committeeman from Alaska, to seat the anti-iioggatt del egation in consideration of this dele gation's pledge to support Taft. Mir. Held and the other members of the national delegation were slow about reaching Chicago, while Shakelford @Id Shea, Hoggatt faction delegates, were on the ground early. These

latter delegates also went on to Wash ington where they conferred with the president, and advanced their side of the question.
 When Shackelford and Shea re- turned to Chicago they found that the anti-Hoggatt delegation was about to be seated and that Held and Hitchcock had been in conference concerning Alaska appointments. This was far from pleasing Messrs. Shackelford and Shea and they hur- ried to Governor Hoggatt and poured their troubles into his ears. Governor Hoggatt immediately telegraphed the president and the latter at once wired Hitchcock to seat the Hoggatt dele gates. Mir. Hitchcock asked no ques- tiOns but did as he was told.
 It was not until the convention was over and the lIoggatt delegation had returned to Alaska with all the plums that the president and Mir. Taft were informed of the true inwardness of the affair. They declared at the time, and still assert, that they knew noth- ing of the Hitchcock-Heid agreement.

BEATS0N'S MINE
 |S REAL BONANZA

minimum of cost Latouche island will doubtless boast at Beatson's of a great mine worked by machinery. The present method pays a regular profit of several thousand dollars a month in spite of the low price of copper and is scarcely making dent in the vast ore body.
 The mine lies in the lower slope of mountain quarter of mile in an air line from tide water on the west side of Latouche island, near the north end, about ninety miles southeast of Valdez. From the dock tram road little more than half mile long leads to the mine. Down this the ore cars run easily by gravity with man riding to put on the brake. Few mines are so conveniently located by nature for inexpensive operation and shipment.
 A large store is run in connection with the mine. It stands at the land end of the bridge leading to the dock and nearby is q long boarding house, where most of the miners live. A few are married and live in cottages.
 Beautiful Latouche
 Latouche, the common anglicized form of La Touche, as some persons insist OH writing it to prove that they are French scholars, is one of the most picturesque of the numerous beautiful islands of Prince William sound. They are all similar except in contour and size-hilly, deficient in beaches, but with many deep water bays and bights, presenting long ar rays of wooded slopes with barren cliffs too steep for the clinging of veg citation. The upper nights are covered with snow until late summer and from some it never disappears. The line of verdure is regular and above tower the jagged peaks of recent geo. logical uplift, -gaunt, hostile, graz. Four months of the year the islands are white to the waters edge and in the other eight rain falls during more hours than the sun shines. But the sunny days seem more beautiful than anywhere else-perhaps because of their rarity, and in August Latouche island is an attractive camping ground.
 Andrew K. Beatson, part owner and manager of Bonanza, is native of New York, but was California mining man for many years. In that state he was superintendent or man. ager of several big mines before he he came to Alaska a dozen years ago. He is an educated man but the longer he stays in Alaska the better he likes his bachelor life at Latouchc and he seldom leaves it.

nesday night. This is an annual
occurance OF this order and one on
which they spare no expense and
spend great deal of time to make
it a memorable affair for any per-

able to attend. q. N. Hungerford's

lasted from 9 until II o'clock, con-
sitting OF piano solos, duets, songs,
guitar, mandolin and banjo music,
and the Mountain Home Band
played some beautiful selections,
which they rendered very credit
ably.
After the entertainment q long
table was uncovered and it is safe
to say that never was any such

before. After partaking of the
lunch and enjoying the social iea
ture, which is always attached, the
guests sought their homes, having

The message OF President
Roosevelt to Congress, read to
that body last Friday, was re.
markable state paper. Accord
ing to his enemies, it was the
expression Of the presidents
disappointment over the failure
of the employers liability law,
which was recently declared I'M
constitutional by the Supreme
Court. According to the great
majority of the American peo-
pie, il was a brave much-needed
call upon the lawmakers of the
nation to do justice between the
honest men, both rich and poor,
and that class which he terms
the predatory rich. The mes
sage shows one thing If nothing
else, and thai is that President
Roosevelt is yet power to be
reckoned with in national al.
fairs in spite of the near ap.
proach OF the end of his term of
office. Those politicians who
have been accustomed to disre.
gsrding the views of a retiring
executive will have TO revise
their plans a little.
