Prince Rupert has had it's first seris ous fire in the burning of the residence of Mir. Robert Ross a week ago. Being without means to fight the fire the pop ulation of the town simply stood by and watched 1t burn. The Empire, speaking of the matter, says: "At l2 o'clock today, all that remained of Mir. Ross home was square of snapping and smoking debris. At one corner of the ruins sat dog chained to kennel. At another corner sat another dog chained to another kennel. And each dog parked at one another"
 In the case of the United States against A. R. O'Brien, editor of the Ju- neau Record, charged with an assault committed on the person of Ed c. Russell, editor of the Juneau Dispatch, set for trial at Ketchikan, O'Brien with drew his plea of not guilty and plead guilty, and was fined S2O0. The case against c. M. Summers WAS tried and the defendant was acquitted. The cases against Henry Shattuck and Druggist Cheek were dismissed at the motion of the United States attorney. Thus endeth the first lesson.
 Trains can now run to mile 65. At this point Twenty Mile river, the head of Turnagain arm, is being bridged. Work can now proceed as fast as the pile driver can drive the necessary pill ing for the several bridges which yet remain to be constructed between 65 and mile 72, the end of the contract. The grading is practically completed along the line. Several days of bad weather has delayed work somewhat and it is doubtful if the work will be completed by November l, as has been expected. few days after that date will see the completion of the track and trains running to 72.-Seward Gateway.
 Jafet Linderberg, the wealthy Nome operator, recently reached Seattle and says that he believes he expresses the sentiment of the majority of the resi- dents of the Seward peninsula when he states that the policy of President Taft, as expressed recently in his Seattle speech, covering the undesirability for home rule for Alaska, is the correct po- sition. "The president is right" he said. "We older Alaskans know that the reasons advanced by the president are sound, and could not be better out lined. Naturally we look for time when home rule and statehood will come, but not for the present at least"
 Claiming to speak for residents of the Tanana valley and residents of Fairbanks, W. H. Parsons, president of Fairbanks bank, said: "It may be that the reason is a sentimental one, but cannot conceive how any person claiming Alaska as home can rest content under the system of govern ment now in operation or what may be hoped for with continuance of the Taft policy toward the territory. have had the theory advanced that with home government the expense would fall heavily upon the shoulders of the comparatively few owning concerns in the present territory. My investigation leads me to declare that with home rule there would not be the slightest increase in the proportion of the ex- pense to be met by the property holder"

HatIess Cure For BaIdheaded Men.

Omaha, Neh., Sept. l.'--The Hatless
club of Baldheadod Men, which was
organized in Omaha last spring, has
become SO popular that its scope IS
now almost national. Dr.. Clark, the
national resident and originator of
the movement, has returned from
Milwaukee where 500 baldheaded men
met in convention. Speaking Of the
results, lie said:
"Delebo tes-all baldhcaded mon
were present from all over the coun-

IT compulsory for every member upon
all occasions, to go hatless between

Made ReSieninQ Easy

When delegate Mark Smith, of Ari-
IONA, was a boy he lived on Il big
plantation in Kentucky. 1t was in
slave days and one of his father 5
slaves was Uncle Ike, who was he
preacher for the place.
Smiths father had built a small
church on Il corner Of the plantation,
and Uncle Ike held forth there every
Sunday. This was pleasing TO Ike,
because it not only gave him a chance
to exhort the negroes, but it absOlved
him from any of the Sunday chores.
One Sunday Mark went out by the
barn and found Uncle Ike sitting DIS
consolately under a tree.
Look here, Ike" said Mark, why
amt YOU down there preaching to-
day."
"Well, Mars Mark" Ike replied, 81

The last of the pins was taken out

at home in the expectation that more
pins will be taken from her. Evidently
the bits of metal, In travelling through

AS all the pins taken from her are

WINGS THAT WERE FINS.
Evidence That Psneuin's Pinions Were
Once Used For Swimming.

pathological puzzles are the pen
gums, with their curiousy shaped
wings and odd. unbirdlike. upright car
riage. The peculiarities Of their wings
suggest that the penguins are descend
ants of birds which used their wings
rather than legs in the pursuit of prey
under water and as the struggle in
tensitied between the competing indi-
vlduals the most expert at this sort OF
swimming would get the most food
and GUST less successful rivals. The
winners gained advantage over their
neighbors in proportion as their wings
improved as swimming organs and in
versely aud of necessity became less
suited TO perform the work of fight.
In all other birds the feathers. though
shed annually, are more or less grad
ually displaced. But i'm the penguins
the new feathers all start into being at
the same time and thrust out the old
feathers upon their tips so that these
come away in great flakes. Whereas
in all birds save penguins the new
feathers as they thrust their way
through the skin end in pencil-like
points. formed by investing sheaths.
in the pcnguins these sheaths are open
at the tips and attached by their rims
to the roots of the old feathers. and
hence these are held to their success
sors until they have attained a sutfi-
cient length TO insure protection against
cold.
The curious device for retaining the
warmth afforded by the old feathers
until the new generation can fill their
places is apparently due to the fact
that penguins are natives of the ant
arctic regions, although some now in
habit tropical seas.-ChlcagO Tribune.

This fish weighed a little more than
100 pounds. It's mode OF attack is to

The suit is filed under the Sher-

society is charged with being a mo-
nopoly in restraint of trade.
Nineteen Kentucky tobacco grow
ers and two Ohio gfowers are named
as party defendants. The Burley So
ciety is charged with entering into a

pay seventeen cents and a fraction

the former case to the supreme court
vacating the finding of this court, I
think that trial courts should be very
careful not to adopt any radical con-
struction which it VIII take years for
the supreme court to decide
This decision means that the attor-
neys for the plaintiff will be allowed
the satisfaction of having their ques-
lions put before the jury by the court
himself-not as they would put them
were they allowed, but as the court
thinks necessary.
The defense was defeated in that
they will be unable to keep these facts
and allegations wholly from the Jury
as they had hoped. 1t has been the
fight of the defending attorneys to
keep all matter from the jury which
would tend to prejudice them against
Mrs. Gordon. Their hope has been in
securing a general verdict from the
jury evidently believing that they
would be inclined to favor the widow
as imposed upon in the same manner
as popular opinion has been inclined.
Judge Dana is considerably on the
alert for loop holes being formed by
the attorneys of the plaintiff through
which they could fight for new trial.
1t would seem that the attorneys are
already making preparations for such
an occurrence though they deny any
such intentions every time asked
But there are continually little
questions of procedure coming up by
