CHAPTER XIII.
By ALBERT PAYsoN TERHUNE.

THE momentous Friday had ar
 rived; the day whereon the fa-
 nous - or infamous - Borough N Street railway bill in its amended form was 10 come up for the aldermen's consideration.
 Eyery paper in the city devoted col umns 10 the situation. Everywhere it was known that the boy mayor was fighting with all his might the bill he had already vetoed. Egually well was it understood that Horrigan was mak- ing the battle of his whole career in behalf of the measure. If he could but induce his solid thirteen" aldermen to stand firm and could maintain his hold on Roberts for the fourteenth. all would be plain sailing and the bill would pass by a two-thirds vote in spite of the mayors veto.
 Mone than the mere bill and his price for lt were included in HOTri- gau's reasons for his present activity. He recognized that his prestige as boss was at Stake-thaf in ease of failure his hold on tho organization would be considerably weakened. perhaps almost sD much shaken as to permit Pheian to fulfH his once absurd threat to tear him down from his eminence- For the whole organization was viewing with isreafhleSs interest the duel between HoTrizan an5 the youthful mayor the tzssS had --msse- Tn such circles a beaten man commands scant respect.

Sergt. McNurney got shot at what, he says, he thought was a deer, but afterwards proved to be bunch of moss. Harry really saw a deer, but he only had two boxes of cartridges, and these "lasted quick" The last he saw of that deer, it had swan the channel and was climbing the side of Woronkofski Island, three miles away. The most enjoyable feature in connection with this hunt, however, was the roast venison dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Baker, Tuesday evening, to which only mem bers of the hunting party were invited. The table was tastily decorated with cartridges and favors suggestive of the hunt, and those present got all ths venison, and other eatables, that they wanted for one time, at least.
 The dance committee of Alert Fire Co. have decided to change the date of their big dance, and instead of holding it on the evening of February 2 it will be held on Friday evening, February 21.

 Lindman and Farrer held their dance at Red Mems Hall, last Saturday night, and a good crowd was present. The music was furnished by Waters orches. tral photograph.

Here are few facts that newspaper subscribers should remember: \ man who runs paper absolutely must pay for the paper and ink with which his paper is printed; he must print with machinery which he has to pay for; he must pay freight on his machinery and supplies; he must pay Uncle sam for carrying the paper in the mail; he>nust pay for help, rent, oil, fuel, and other things, which, in Alaska. aggregate an amount almost equaling the subscrip- tion price of the paper, leaving the pub fisher very narrow margin for his own tedious labor. When your subscription is allowed to become delinquent it is because the publisher has confidence in you; otherwise he would not LOAN you, each week, the amount that it costs to place the paper in your hands. Every delinquent subscriber virtually owes the publisher just so much BORROWED MONEY, and it doesn't require an accomplished mathematician to figure out that the publisher will Init the ceiling" with a thud if all subscriptions are not paid up. 4 delinquent newspaper subscription is a debt of honor, and a person with honor will pay it without grumble.

4 few cranks down at Rio de Janeiro thought they would dynamite some of our battleships, but they got their dates mixed and now languish in durance vile. Dynamiting is about the only method by which the Yankee ships can be rendered hors de combat, and such method is only employed by towards or "iingoes" trying. to stir up some kind of interna- tional complications.
 Marshal. ". D. Grant of Wrange!l went home on the Jefferson last We'd nasday, and visited Douglas friends while the boat lay at the wharf here. The marshal contends that Wrangell is one of the best towns in the district, that it keeps growing and getting better all the time. Ii all federal officers sent to Alaska would take the same interest in the country that Marshal Grant does there would be less complaint among the people.-D. I. News. And you can de- pend upon the truth of anything the marshal tells you-unless it be on the subject of trout fishing.

Gopher Meat is Delicious.

Washington, D. c., Nov. Tx
perts of the Department of Agriculture
have discovered that the pocket
gopher, the depredations of which
cost the farmers and fruit growers of
the country $12, 900, 600 annually, are
good eating. The flesh when properly
prepared for the table, is said to be
delicious, rivaling quail in flavor.
With the price of beef and ali food
stuffs ballooning in values there is a
fortune in store for the man who con-
verts the Americans into nation of
gopher eaters. The opportunity is
ripe and gopher steaks, outlets and
spare ribs may yet solve the house
keepers problem.

George D. Orput Thinks Conditions Are
Looking Up Since Election.


Things are picking up over in
the lead and zinc district, said
George D. Orput. Platteville, who
arrived in Milwaukee last night with
George L. and w. G. Jarrett, also
of Platteville.
Jack has advanced since the cleo
ton and spelter has gone up 20 cents.
Everything is looking brighter in the
Third district.
In A. W. Kopp we have elected
to congress a Bill Mckinley sort of
fellow. He is absolutely clean,
straight forward and honest. No one
can stick pin in his record any
where. He was born poor. had to
work his way through school and
college,; supported his parents in
their later years; married. and built
up good law practice. There is not
a flaw in his record and he will make
good in congress.
81. W. Murphy, the defeated
Congressman, hardly looked for
victory, inasmuch as the district was
always strongly Republican and he
was elected two years ago only be-
cause the Republicans were bound to
get rid Of j. w. Babcock. He made a
fine run in Grant county, Kopp
carrying it only by very narrow
margin, Notwithstanding the county
is strongly Republican, and do not
think he is at all sore over the result
Kopp was for long time law stu
dent in Congressman s Murphy's law
Office and the two men are warm
personal friends.
Zone thing that hurt Murphy was
his stand on the tariff on zinc ores.
To keep our mines running we must
have protection from The zinc ores of
Mexico, but while it is to Mr..
Murphy personal interest and to the
interest of the whole Third district
that this should be brought about,
he took his stand with his party
against tariff, forgetting that the
southern members overlook party and
vote for the interests of their districts
every time, when such case arises
with them. Free Press.

The Chicago Stock Show.

The International Live Stock Elk
position held this year from Novem-
Der % to December 10, is the supreme
court Of the years prize winners,
justly styled the show of champions,
the show within whose portals the
bluest blood of the bovine, oyine and
porcine families struggles for SUI
premacy, the exposition whose educa-
tional value cannot be overestimated.
Here the foremost breeders, who.
by constant study, mutual contact,
observation and comparison. have
succeeded in producing the best, are
giving the world the benefG of their
labors. Here the breeders are shown
by actual block demonstration by
what methods their work can be made
more profitable, and the kind of
animals the butcher wishes them to
supply. These and the many other
obj ct lessons that can only be learned
by visit to this great exposition
make a visit to the international
paying investment and part of the
training of every progressive farmer,
| feeder and breeder.
The fact of his having attended a
previous show does not signify, for
new problems are being solved here
each year, each year sees the work
ana achievements of the previous
shows surpassed and at each sue
cessive exposition new standards of
excellence are brought to the atten.
tion of the public. Let the live stock
interests get behind this triumphant
success, let them center upon this
! leading live stock exposition as the
pride of American enterprise and LEI
their patriotism force them to offer
encouragement by attending, thus
making it possible TO continue this
splendid work and to make it the
worlds greatest live stock exposi
tion in every sense of the word.

''Taffy" and ''Taffyette"

Some weeks ago The Herald pub
lished a contributed poem entitled
Wisconsin, which was written by
Mr.. Thompson. Fan acquaintance of
Attorney Herman Buchner, for many
years a resident of Lancaster, who
spends his winters in Crosset. Ar
kansas. Mr.. Buchner, who answers
to the cognomen of Taffey' down in
that country, sent copy of The Her
aid containing the poem to friend
down there, writing under the verses
the postscript 'Them's my senti-
ments too. -
The poem reads as follows:
WISCONSIN.
The sun never shone on a country
more fair
Than beautiful, peerless Wisconsin !;
There is life in the kiss of her rari-
fed air.
Wisconsin, o lovely Wisconsin
Her sons are all valiant and noble
and bright,
Her beautiful daughters are just
about right;
Her babies-God bless them-are clear
out of sight
That crop never fails in Wisconsin.
Her homes are alight with the halo
of love,
Wisconsin. contented Wisconsin.
She basks in the smiles of a heaven
above,
No clouds ever daIken Wisconsin.
Her grain waves as pillows of gold in
the sun;
Her mines are the richest, exceeded
by none;
Her dairying interest best under
the sun.
We challenge the world with Wis
consin.
The girls are sweet models of maiden
ly grace,
in this modern Eden, Wisconsin /;
They are perfect of figure and lovely
of face
That's just what they are in Wis
consin.
Their smiles are enticing, winning
and sweet,
Their dresses are stylish, yet modest
and neat:
They wear the best shoes on their dear
little feet
That's just what they wear in Wis
consin.
When life's weary burden I'm called
to lay down,
hope I may be in Wisconsin;
never could ask for more glorious
crown
Than one of the sods of Wisconsin.
And when the last trumpet wakes the
land and the sea.
And the tombs of the earth let
their prisoners go free,
You may all go aloft if you choose,
but for me,
think I'll just stay in Wisconsin.
