 Monday as Judge Henry States, of Juneau, was returning from Young's bay in gasoline boat, he was overcome by the fumes of the gas and fell in the bay near Sheep creek. He was fshed out and taken to hospital in Juneau and at last accounts was rapidly recoV- ering from the shock.
 The foundry bowling team is now in the lead in the tournament at the Treadwell Club. In tn game Monday evening the foundry boys rolled score of 2227, winning from the Ready Bul. lion team by 242 pins, and giving them a lead of IA pins over the assay office. This evening the store team will bowl the Treadwells, and an interesting game is anticipated. The store boys are in third place, but the leaders are closely punched and it is hard to pick the winner.
 About the only thing of interest in Douglas during the past week has been the weather. Wind and SHOW have kept householders busy shoveliug paths and carrying coal. While the cold has not been severe, yet the everlasting wind drives it through the cracks and under the doors until none of the houses is perfectly comfortable without roar ing fire. Business is at standstill and many of the stores have barricaded their windows to protect the glass, so the town looks as if it had made prep arations for siege.
 Last Thursday evening Hugh Tracy went 10 his home on Second street 10 build a fire and cook supper. He built fire in the kitchen range and a few moments afterwards there was an explosion that shook the building, blew out the windows and was heard all over town. Neighbors rushed to the scene, pulled Tracy out of the wreckage, eX tinguished fire started by the eXplo' sion and hurried for a doctor. The water pipe leading to the range had frozen and the explosion was caused by steam in the water back. Mir. Tracy was severely bruised, but no bones were broken. The range was destroyed, parts of it being blown through the ceiling. The victim will be all right in couple of weeks.
 With the interstate commerce com mission setting the price at which Alaska coal is to sell, together with the rate steamship and railroad companies are to charge for hauling the same, royalty running from DC to 25c per ton on the entire output to be expended in Alaska for road building and educational purposes, it begins to look as if some people should be satis. fled to allow the coal mines to be open ed up without further kicking.

Tender-handed, stroke nettle, And it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains. 'Tis the same with common natures; Use 'em kindly, they rebel; But be rough as nutmeg-graters, And the rogues obey yon well.

of that destructive malady. consumption.
After a successful battle with the
germs of this most dreaded disease he
now stands as perfect a specimen of
the human being as ever trod in two
shoes, and all by a little attention paid
to physical culture and its attributes.
He has written a good description OF
his methods in this regard, which has
beei. put into prim. When a boy. on
account of his weak appearance he was
not allowed to attend school, but re-
ceived his education only between the
ages of thirteen and seventeen
His first inclination toward athletics
was shortly before he left his studies.
following it up and starting in the
money-making line at this diversion
when eighteen Since then he has exhi-
bited in all parts of the United States

took and Ferrars; also as manager and
performer with De kreko's Streets of

Wagners' example and threw the hooks

this team from the first place, the men,

in the league Is so intense that we may
perhaps enjoy the spectacle Of a real

SPECIAL TO Times Republican.
Des Moines. March 1.-THE resisna-
ton Of Congressman w T Smith be-
ing in the hands of the governor the
special election call will be issued as
soon as some prelininaries are dis
posed Of
Ii is clear that the delegates now in
office in the several counties OF the
district have nothing whatever to do
with the prelinlinaries for the eenven-
ton. The primary law provides that
it shall not in any way apply to special
elections, and all Who voted for 'ne
primary, and all who advocated 1t when
passed, understood perfectly vel! that
it was not intended to apply to a spe-
cial election for any purpose whatever.
1t has been put up to Attorney Gen.
eral Cosson, however, TO decide this
and other questions that have been
raised IN regard to the application OF
the law to this case.
1t may be that. despite the provision
of the primary law which says it shall
not apply in any case Of a special cleo
ton, an agreement Will be reached to
the effect that the present county dele
gates hold county conventions and
choose delegates to a district conven-
ton. This could only be done by agree
ment of the candidates and commit
tees: but it is favored by some OF the
people OF the district, who point out
that unless 1t is done the only other
way is 10 resort TO ordinary caucusee.
Judge w. r. Green. of Audubon, who
to have the best OF the situation at
present County Attorney White, OF
Shelby, is a candidate II 1t IL to be a

believe that Green will win over White.
