 Whereas; The Candidates oI the various political parties ol Alaska are shouting themsel- yes hoarse pledging themselves to protect the dear people a. gainst the many menaces to thelr liberties that at present surround them, and to defend their God given rights, and whereas those God given rights in Alaska will soon be entirely obllterated unless the people unite for. self preservation and Whereas; One of Alaskas great est and most necessary resour ces is being surely and ruth iessly destroyed by the estab- llshment of "Fish Traps" in its waters; a curse and blight where ever they have been us ed therefore be it.
 Resolved by the largest body Iof working men in Alaska, that we ask all honest citizens to unite with us in the demand that the Fish Traps be now and forever abolished from the waters of Alaska, so that our people Native and White may stlll retain and enjoy this bounteous resource Divine pro- vldence has bestowed upon us.

Special to the Miner)

Fairbanks, August 5-Driven by despondency and worry over the coming election national committeeman A. J. Daly of the Democratic party, committed suicide this morning by putting a bullet into his brain. The deed was committed on board the steamer Reliance enrOute from Fairbanks 10 Iditarod while it was passing near To- lovana. The cause is unknown further than that he has been burdened of late with the care of the campaign for Jennings, and it is thought that his mind has given way under the strain While here for the past few days his actions caused consid- erable comment. He has a pe- culiar habit of asking to have every statement repeated as if there was a veil being pulled down over his keenness of perception. He spoke very lit tie here during the past week and his movements betrayed an uneasiness as if his mind was not running according to reg nlar schedule. He has been roticably absent minded lately. All these peculiarlties point to the fact that something was Slipping in his brain.
 The victim was all alone in his stateroom and was thot to be in perfect condition On the evening before he had showed some signs of wanting to be happy, but soon after the break fast bell rung he was heard stirring around and presently two shots were fired in quick succession. The door of his stateroom was locked but when ii had been. broken in, Daily was lying on the floor where he had fallen and was beyond all the chances of recovery. From the evidence in the room it appear that he had gotten up and part y dressed himself, before he came to the conclusion that life was not worth living. There was no disturbance of any kind except that he apparently op- ened his grip took out his re- volver and sent a bullet into his brain without very much de
 iteration.
 The body was rushed to Hot Springs where the coroners in. quest was held which pronour- ced it suicide. The body will remain here awaiting advice from below.
 The deceased leaves wife and several children who are at present visiting in Oregon.

runners at first. The balance of the Ketchikan players all did equally well, not an error being recorded against them. The score should have stood 3 to 1, but Whitey failed to touch third on his way in when Ed. Williams sent his two bagger out to center field, so his score was not allowed and he was ruled out.
 For Juneau Dahl and Kerry each made one two base hit, and Malley a home run. Mal- Hey struck out ' men, walked one, and advanced one man one base on a balk. Lutz, the captain and short stop made the only errors in the game, two, in the last of which he was "assistedn by Snyder on first.
 Harvey Stackpole acted as ball and strike umpire, while Burns of Juneau gave the de- Icisions on bases, and to the credit of both be it said that their decisions were invariably flair and satisfactory to the lcrowd.

Owing to the fact that he etchikan base ball field si on the tide flats it is neces- sary to take the tide at the pro- per time in order to keep the Juneau stickers from loosing the ball in the sea. According ly when the boat arrived yester day the tidal conditions were such as necessitated the aband- onment of the Sunday game.
 The Juneau boys were dis tributed evenly between the to hotels, the Revilla and the Sted man where they had an oppor- tunity 10 enjoy the luxury of abundent rest before being called upon to uphold the hon. ors of the Capital city. The en- tire town has been thrown open to the Juneau players and they are being given the best of everything.
 Manager Wilkes of the Ketch ikan team has spared no ef- fort to make the Juneau team comfortable and let them feel that they are wanted here and are welcome to the best We have. A big Grand Ball has been arranged for tonight in honor of the visitors, and the plan Is to show them the kind of hospitality that We expect when our boys go to Juneau next time, the kind they did not get when they were up there the last time.
 In the best game of ball ever played in Southeastern Alaska, the local team this morning de- feated the Gastineau champ ions to the tune of 2 to 1. The game was a masterpiece from beginning to end, and was won on it's merits purely and simply
 It opened up with Juneau to bat, and Hooper for the locals famed out the first two men up, Dahl got a two bagger but died at third when Malley failed to reach first.
 Murphy slammed one to left field but failed to reach first, Kubley put one on top of the dry kiln and brought in the first home run of the season, Whitey and Williams were unable to do anything, and the score stood 1 to in Ketchi- kan's favor.
 For a while in the first half of the second, with three men on bases, it looked as though Juneau was going to more than tie the score, but Hooper pitched himself out of the hole in elegant shape. In the last half of the second Ketchikan failed to do anything, and the score stood.
 Lott the first man up In the third promptly famed out. Dahl started hot liner out but Hoop CT gathered it in in fine shape, and threw him out at first. Nal Toy the Juneau batter was the next one up and picking out a nice one slammed it into the lumber pile for home run, ty- ing the score. Lutz followed him and famed. In the bal ance of the third and the whole of the fourth, neither side was able to add anything to their score.
 In the fifth, Cook the first man up for Ketchikan, con- nccted for nice little one, which landed on first. By good playing on the part of his team mates and balk by the pitcher he was able to complete the circuit, boosting Ketchikan's score to two runs, where it

Well, there's no two ways a. bout it, they took Us into camp, and to the tune of II to 3 at that.
 It was cold, and it was wet, and the local nine simply wernt there when it came to playing ball.
 The umpires were the same as yesterday, and their work was of the same excellent qual ity as before. The batteries were Beck and Kerry, Juneau, and Atkinson and Whitey for Ketchikan. The game was cal led at eleven, and owing to the weather and the fact that the boat was expected early i'll the afternoon, it was agreed that it should last but seven innings.
 Juneau came to bat first with Meredith up. He was hit by the pitcher and stole second and then came in on a high throw to second by the pitcher. Zott struck out. and Dahl flew out to second, Malley got to first on little drive but died at second when Lutz went out to right field.
 For Ketchikan, Murphy flew out to left field, and Kubley and Hooper struck out.
 2nd. Caughlin made second on one that looked like d foul, and came in on Hurlburt's s drive. The latter made second and came in on Meredith's lin- CT between short and second. Beck struck out. Meredith ne- gotiated second, and came in on Zott's fly into the lumber pile which turned out to be a home run for Zott, and the score was 5 to 0. Dahl got to first all o. K. but died there when Malley struck out.
 Williams flew out to right field, Whitey to center, and Mauseth struck out.
 3rd. Lutz fouled out to catch CT, Kerry drove one through, between second and short for one base, stole second, but didn't get any further as Caughlin lined out to Williams who had replaced Atkinson in the box for Ketchikan in this inning, and Hurlburt, the next man up, famed out. For ketch ikan, Mahoney famed out, Me- Bride was given a base on balls Cook was struck by a pitched ball and given his base, and it looked for a minute as thought something was going to happen Murphy started out a hot one toward left field, but third base man pulled it down, and Kub- ley struck out.
 4th. Beck famed, Meredith arrived at first on a hot ground CT and stole second, Zott struck out and Dahl flew out to third.
 Hooper picked out an easy one which landed him on first made second on Williams drive, and came in with Ketchi- kan's initial run when Juneau tried juggling the ball. Will jams made a two bagger and came in when the pitcher made wild throw to first in his at- tempt to head Whitey off. The
 alter was safe on first, but
 lied on the way to second when Meredith with the assis- tance of the first baseman pull led off a double play putting him and Mauseth both out, Mahoney got to first on a clean hit, but was thrown out trying to get 2nd. The score now stood 5 to 2 in Juneau's favor.
