 DEF ID HEARST

s
 New York, Oct. 9--Former Con- gressman Joseph Sibley, in a. state. ment made here this morning, defies William R. Hearst to publish anthem. tic letters written by Sibley to the Standard Oil Company management, or by the management written to Sibley. Mir. Sibley declares that there are no such letters in existence, that none were ever written and that Hearst is deliberately misstating things when he asserts to. the con- trary.
 Referring to his connection with the Standard Oil people, MT. Sfbley. declares that there is nothing dis honorable about the relationship. He says that he has always been friendly with Archbold and that there never has been any secrecy with regard to this friendship, but he denied em- phatically that there had ever been any secret understanding between himself and the Standard Oil Com pany. r..'t4 .....a.

PROSPERITY

July 1 was made "Re-employmcnt Day'h.in various parts of the country, and very noticeably at Chicago and in the vicinity of that great city and center of .mercantilc vantage. The "prOsperity lmovemcnt" is being backed by. hundreds of big manufac- turofs, who realize that renewed pros pelfty is sweeping oyer the country after tho financial depression of the winter.
 Among tho largest corporations to make July 1 a' Unemployment day" is the1l!inois Central Railroad. Ar ter an idleness of eight months $500 men will be. put back to work in the Illinois Central shops. ..
 The heavy demand from manufac. tqrers for steel has resulted in nincrcaa- ing the pay rolls of all the big steel companies of the country. For weeks the Illinois. steel Company, with it's enormous plant at South Chicago, has gradually increased it's working force, until normal conditions have been resumed. Additional help also will be employed soon. The Inter- national Harvester Company has re- employed all of it's help, and the de- partments are working full time.

KATALLA COMPANY
 SUED FUR $lO,OOO

Asserting that the Katalla Com pany caused his arrest in order that some of the company's agents might destroy his property to the effect that the company obtain possession of certain land he was on, G. w.. Henderson, yesterday evening, filed suit in the federal court 'asking for damages in the sum of $10,OOO. Half of this amount is claimed as actual, and half as puntative damages.
 The story of the affair as told in the complaint is that Henderson was preparing to build a warehouse and other buildings on piece of property desired by the Katalla Company. He had, in fact, started the founda- tion and erected temporary struct- ure, and had boom of logs tied to the shore.
 Henderson alleges that, finding other efforts to remove him unsuc- cessful, the company caused one of it's agents to have Henderson arrested on the charge of threatening vio- lence." Henderson was taken be- fore Commissioners Van Slyke, by whom the charge was dismissed for lack of evidence, but, according to Henderson, his absence from Katala was sufficient to permit the Katalla Company to destroy his buildings and foundation, and to turn adrift his log boom.
 Another action filed against the Katalla Company yesterday charges that the company is trying to wrcst from Al Low, William Boswell and Jennie Dalton the possession of min eral land known as the Comet and Juneau fractions of the Lode claim. The property in question is in, or near the town of Katalla, and the plain tiffs bring action to quiet title. No damages are asked.

WOMAN CONFESSES
 ID KILLING MAN

Philadelphia, Oct. 9--By the con- fession this morning of Mrs. Alice Beisel is cleared up the mystery sur rounding the circumstances of the recent death of Capt. Clayton Erb. Mra. Psisel, who is the sister of the woman who was left widow by the death of the captain, says that she killed him as the climax of a quar- rel concerning the divorce proceed ings instituted by Mrs. Erb.
 For some time Erb and his wife l~.d been at outs, and Mrs. Erb left her husband and sought refuge with Mrs. Beisel. Mrs. Erb applied for a divorce and so soon as the papers were served upon him Capt Erb made overtures to his wife to return to him.. This Mrs. Erb declined to do and Erb blamed Mrs. Beisel for the fail ure of his negotiations.
 Mrs, Beisel says that Capt. Erb threatened her with bodily harm and that because of her fear she armed herself. On the day of the shooting Erb forced q meeting with Mrs. Beisol, and believing herself in danger she killed him.

LOVE COMES IN,
 PERRY GOES OUT

Henry K. Love qualified as United States marshal of the Third judicial division of Alaska today and at once took charge of the office. MT. Love gave security bond in the sum of STE, ,OOo.
 O. l.. Vawter will be chief deputy at Valdez temporarily. MT. yawter has had ample experience in the of flee, having served for several wears as marshal of the Nome district. Un- der Marshal Perry he was deputy marshal at Unga. His exceptional qualifications are admitted in all of- ficiai circles His friends point with pride to the fact that he was the only official of the Moves regime at Nome who came out with clean hands. He was not a member of the Noyes-Mc- Kenzie "push."
 All other deputies serving under Marshal Perry on the date Of his re- urement was at once reappointed by Marshal Love, in order to avoid any possible legal question as to their right to serve as de facto officers. By making them deputies de iure this possible complication is avoided. It, is expected that new men will be sub- stituted for these deputies later. All appointments of deputies have to be approved by the department of justice.
 George G. Perry retires from the office of marshal after more than eight years of service. He became marshal June 6, 1900 by appointment of President Mckinley. After more than four years of service he was re- appointed by President Roosevelt. His term of service would have ex- pired February 26, 1909, and his sum- mary displacement before that time is ascribed to the whims of bureau crats in the department of justice and the still more cratic and unnacount- able whims of the passing president. of the United States. -
 The marshal's office under MT. Pery's administration has success fully weathcred every attack upon it's integrity, and it's efficiency has been undisputed. The deputy mar shals by common admission have been capable men. MT. Perry will sail on the Santa Clara for Seattle, where he will remain some time. He retains large interests in Alaska and expects to make further mining in- vcstments. He has a home in Fair banks and will continue to spend great deal of time in the territory.
 George Dreibelbis who for six months has been deputy in Valdez will go to Seattle with MT. Perry. MT. Dreibelbis was temporialy re- appointed by Marshal Love but inn mediatcly resigned.

Slop Jake Becomes Famous

Some one blessed with imagination, probably the newspaper man who came to Valdez with the American automobile, has bestowed fame upon that well known citizen of Valdez 'Slop Jake. Under the heading "Fine Courtesy in AlaGkan the New York Times says:
 Life in Alaska is uncouth in parts, but it has it's refinements. In Valdez there lived a man named "Jaken who kepta a boardinghou8c for dogs When the prOspectprs returned from their sled trips they would place their teams in his charge until ready to start ortt again. As he fed his guests on garbage gathered by a house-to house canvass, he was known by every one as "Slop Jake"
 "Once upon time he fell ill and the newspaper wished to chronicle the fact. No one, however, knew "Jake'sp other name, and it didn't seem worth while to waste the time of the editorial staff on SO insignifi- cant detail. So the news was printed thus: r
 "Our well-lnown fellow citizen, s. Jake, is confined to his house with a severe cold% It is hoped he will be out -soOn."

On Eeinq Nell Fixed.

You frequently hear some one speak
of farmer as being well fixed" Gen
orally the meaning is that the farm
er has let's of land and cattle apd pos
sibly other properly. The true mean
ing does not necessarily mean that he
has a great deal of property. The
poor farmer car be well fixed as
we'll as the rich one. The News idea
of a we'll fixed farmer is one who
has a nice house, with shade trees,
shrubbery and vines in the yard, a
good we'll of water that is piped into
the kitchen and lots, good fences and
gates in repair good barn and sheds
and convenient lots, poultry and rab-
bit-proof garden, good orchard and
vineyard with variety of fruits and
berries, and good soil, we'll titled,
drained and in good cultivation. The
fact OF the business Is there are more
well fixed farmers Of moderate wealth
than those who have an abundance.
The homes of many of our wealthy
farmers are more like campbouses
than homes. There is little comfort
and less convenience, and they are
not "well fxed.2 The main cause OF
this is that SO out of 100 farmers try
to cultivate too much land All OF 1t
is halfway titled and many things are
neglected that could be attended to
II too much land was not put in. Elk.

me Reiqn Of the TasseI.

Tassels, tassels everywhere, be it
dangling from the latest neckgear or
hanging from the big drapery seen on
so many of the new costumes for
spring and summer. They hang be-
hind the dainty ear of the girl who
wears her most fetching tulle hat or
they bedeck the skirt of the society
matron as she stands in line at re-
ception or tea.
Everywhere seen, everywhere adj
mired, 1t is a consolidation to know
that if necessary they can be most
easily made at home Those of silver
or gold cord are most effective if
used sparingly, and with the long
pointed tunic now in vogue their use
and ornamental value is most patent.

LITTLE wAlsrcoAr OF LINEN.
Garment Either in That Material o.
Cretonne Is Popular.

The little cretonne, or coarsely
printed linen waistcoat, tight-fitting
and adorned with row of dull gold
buttons, has given ample evidence
that it may be regarded as one of the
most important items of spring wear
in spite of the fact that the fashion,
able Parisienne might have been ex
pected to have exhausted its possible
ties last year.
1t win be worn ip conjunction with
the severest of blue serge tailor-made
costumes, the filet being cut out at
the top in the form of a v to allow OF
a smart little vest of tucked net
which is supplemented with a lace
jabot of the "abbe' persuasion.
The design which is most in favor fol-
the linen or cretonne is the quaint
Georgian pattern, represented by little
scattered detached bouquets of flow
ers on plain ground, pale biscuit OF
sac de raisin groundwork being
chosen for bouquets in pink, blue and
amber.

GOOD WAY TO REDUCE FLESH
Skipping Rope Advised for Those In
cIined to Be overpIump.

Many women who are overplump are
inclined to be indolent, and, while
most of them are ambitious to become
more slender and willowy, they dread
the exertion and violent exercise
which are usually advised.
One of the most effective ways OF
reducing the flesh, and one which is
so simple, once it has been tried sew
eral times, is skipping rope. Il is the
best possible thing one can do. Do
not go at it too violently at first as
Z this is unwise in any exercise. Do it
fgently and always with the mouth
closed, of course. The most benefit
can be obtained by skipping out OF
doors. This almost is impossible IN
winter, but results nearly as satisfac'
tory can be obtained by jumping in
a room in which the door is closed and
the windows are wide open. Do not
be afraid of catching cold, for the ex
ercise will keep you warm. Do not
however, sit around in the cold room
to cool off after the exercise, for II
you do this you certainly will
catch cold.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF
KEEN SUFFERING
rheumatism Developed Burning,
Painful Sores on Legs Tortured
Day and Night = Tried All Kinds
Of Remedies to No Avail Wife
Had Debility and Pains in Back.
BOTH USED CUTlCURA
AND ARE WELL AGAIN

"My husband had been a great suf-
Lerer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen
Years. At first it was in his bones, but
lfter a while it was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out on his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to toll all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had to
endure night and day. He used every
kind Of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
|out any good results whatever. So
|one day happened to read about
|Cuticura Remedies. asked him If
he would not try them. No. said he,
' its no use, I've spent enough money
now The next day / ordered live
dollars worth Of Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
|cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent.
| He began to use them without conf
dence but after three weeks all the
sores were dried up. The burning
| fire stopped, and the pains became
bearable. After three months he was
quite we'll. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
| it cured him. Two years ago used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They
| did me great deal Of good and made
me well. Three months since had pains
| in my back and Cuticura took them
awav' too. / can prove this testi-
monial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert,
