SURETY OF PEACE.
jurisdiction of Justices Extended
In Certain Cases.

Under the old law the jurisdiction of
the Justice of the Peace in surety of the
peace cases was very limited and as a
result men and women were bound over
to court to hold the peace in very trivial
matters, and when the time for trial ar
rived the case was found to amount to
absolutely nothing. This resulted often
in the county having considerable costs
to pay. In order to avoid the bringing
to court of these trivial cases the follow
ing act was recently passed by the Legis-
lature and signed by the Governor:
Whereas, The oath which warrants the
arrest of one who shall threaten the per-
son of another, and his binding over to
the next term of the quarter sessions
court, and to keep the peace in the
meantime, is often hastily and thought
lessly made; and great costs uniustly put
upon the several counties of the Com
monwealth by having trivial cases sent
to court therefore, to remedy this evil,
Section /. Be it enacted, etc., That
in all cases of surety OF the peace, before
he binds any one over to the next term
OF court of quarter sessions and in the
meantime to keep the peace, upon the
oath of another, as provided by section
six of the Act of March thirty-one,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty
Pamphlet Laws, four hundred and
twenty-seven), he shall enter into full
investigation OF the facts; and shall
only bind over the defendant when the
evidence shows, to the satisfaction OF the
justice, that the prosecutors or prose-
Cutrix's danger OF being hurt in body or
estate Is actual, and that the threats
were made by the defendant maliciously
and with intent TO do harm.

The Grain Market.

July wheat sold on the opening yester-
day from 1857 to liz, and low at
noon at ITO.
May wheat sold from 1881 to 124%
on the opening and low at 1917 at noon.
This is net decline of about seven
cents per bushel for both wheat options
from the high records of last week, and
is undoubtedly caused by Patten trying
to unload at these prices.
Corn and oats are steady, selling at
yesterdays figures.

GET TOGETHER AND BOOST.

No man who sits in the sun and NhittleS q stick can expect to get the business. It's the hustler who makes good.
 The same is true of town. A town must either go forward or lose ground. The prosperous city of St. Paul, Minu., with Q population of more than 100000, spent $5O.OOO last year in advertising, in exploiting the resources of the city and the adja- cent territory. Minneapolis, Duluth, Victoria, B. C., and other big cities are following the good example. These cities get results.
 Skagway was abnormally busy in lS97 and '9S. Since then business has slowly fallen off. Yet the great Undeyeloped country to which Skag- way must ever be the gateway is only h ts mereSt infancy. It was prac. i,eally uninhabited twelve years ago. No one who has studied conditions can fail to believe in the future pros Ierity and growth of Skagway when Us location and resources are taken into consideration.
 But at the present time Skagway IS sadly in need of advertising and exploitation.
 To this end big majority of the citizens. property owners and busi- ness men of the town have agreed io meet tonight and form Commer. cial Club, body that will devote its entire energies to the upbuilding of the town, that will seek to harmon ize all interests on a purely business basis. Every successful city in the United States has such an organiza. :ion. It is essential to the growth Ct any community.
 Not only can such Q body exploit and advertise the town at q small expense, but it can bring pressure to hear in obtaining concessions from the transportation companies, it has influence with the men who make cur laws, it can bring new industries [, the country. It can aid the ma. terial development of the town in q hundred various ways.
 Tonight every man in Skagway who has the commercial interests of tGe town at heart should be at the town hall at S:SO o'clock and take an active part in organizing the Skagway Commercial Club. 1t is to be exactly what it's name implies:- club organized for commercial pur- poses. Politics will be absolutely cschewed.
 If the business men and property owners of the town take an active interest in the club and give it their personal support results will follow. |, is too late to bring back the Al aska Road Commission or to have Fort Seward relocated in Skagway- for these two things should never have left this town;-but in the fu- ture much can be accomplished.
 It's up to you, MT. Business Man and Property Owner.
 Come to the meting tonight and help boost for a bigger, better and busier Skagway.
