Verify, the path of the newspaper man is not always strewn with roses deep enough to seriously impede loco motion, as the plight of the Alaska Sentinel published at Wrangell we'll it. Illustrates. The Sentinel. while often differing in many respects from the es- tablished policy of the News, has in the main consistently fought for all meas ures likely to advance the best interests of Alaska, among which law to re- strict the practice of medicine to grad ute physicians has occupied consider able of it's attention. Several articles lately published in that paper upon this subject have been taken as per sonal affront by an alleged physician in Wrangell, who seems to command sufficient influence, especially among the saloon element, to warrant them in withholding their patronage from the Sentinel until Editor Snyder promises to be good and refrain from further in- situations regarding the said doctors credentials. Looking at the matter from distance it would seem that all the advantages of common sense and decency are on the side of the Sentinel, and that it is an extreme example of folly and ingratitude for the citizens of a town to attempt boycott upon newspaper for upholding a contention for legitimately qualified physicians.

Last Sunday evening man in Doug las who is old enough to know better, filled up on fre-water and started out for time. But the Taku wind howled and the heat of the fire-wster gave out before his brain got strengthened out, and the old man was cold. He wan dered up to Third street, and there at- tempted to beat down the doors to get in out of the bitter cold. He was led down to the city hall building to thaw out. When left alone he gathered lot of rubbish in vacant room into pile and set it on fire. He then lay down by the fire to sleep comfortably and nice. Charley Spores, who lives up stairs, smelled smoke and came down and put the fire out. He then hunted up the marshal, who put the old man in jail, where he right we'll deserved to be-. Douglas had a narrow escape from a bad fire on windy night.

Taft Wins

An anxious crowd of partisans waited up last night to hear the returns of the election in the States. For the most part it was quiet and orderly, but few who had perhaps participated actively in similar contests were ready and anxious to argue the question.
 The returns indicate that the repub- lican ticket is victorious, not only as- surfing the election of Taft, but in many cases state officers whose chances were not considered as good.

A fellow named Hatfield, crazy drunk, took a position on St. Ann aveuue last Saturday morning and made himself conspicuous by using foul aud profane language aud strip. ping off his clothes. Finally he threw a rock at Councilman Stubbins, who was attempting to quiet him. The rock missed .Stubbins and struck Mrs. De Vighne, who was passing in company with lady friend and pr. De Vighne. The doctor and Mir. Stubbins then joined forces and following the fleeing Hatfield to the hospital, overpowered him after sharp struggle in the course of which the doctor received a frac- tured rib. Hatfield was thrown into jail and afterwards fined $50 and costs, but was allowed to go to Tread@ell os. tensibly to get the money He never came back. The marshal holds com mitmeut for him and if he shows up in the city will jail him at once.
