DIScoRD AT JUNEAU.

The reports from Juneau that inc members of the first terri torial legislature are spending their time fighting each other in stead of working for the best in- terests of the territory is what has been expected and feared, but which everyone with the interests of the territory at heart, hoped would not happen. All the mem bers were prolific in promises that they would work for the best interests of the north, but as soon as they are at the capitol they forget the promises made both before and after election and fight for petty advantages.
 But two more weeks remain Of the present session and the laws enacted and those failing of pass age will be but little to the credit of the legislature which started off with such rosy promise of harmony only to end in jangle and discOrd. The next session will be held two years hence, when an entire lower house will be elected and a new senator from each division. It is to be hoped that the next session will result in more real good for Alaska than has the present.

THE COST OF PEACE.

The German government Is about to authorize the increase of the standing army to a total of S70,00O men. The population of Germany is about 7O,000,0O0.
 Emperor William believes that the best way tO preserve peace is to be prepared for war. Known as "The War Lord," he has ruled for twenty-five years in peace, but Germany has paid we'll. The big problem before the nation to- day is to devise new methods of taxation for the maintenance of the military establishments. Peace hath her victories. but al so her expense.

TRIED TO PASS
BAD CHECK TWICE
A. l.. PERRIN, CHARGED WITH
FORGERY, THOUGHT TO
BE A LUNATiC.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. "A. l..
Perrin yesterday presented a check to
the First National bank, made pay
able to himself, signing the name Of
w. E. Hohoff, manager of h Wool
worth company's 5 and 10-cent store
in this city, as maker, for payment.
The teller told him that the check
was made out on the Merchants q
Mechanics bank and that he would
have to go there for his money. A few
minutes afterward Perrin again pre-
scented the same check to the same
teller for payment. The teller then
called up the Woolworth store and
was advised that MI. Hohoff had not
drawn such a check. Perrin said that
it was his wages for work done about
the store: The police were notitied
attorneys office, where papers were
made out against him. While alone
with States Atty. o. B. Burtness he
struck him and made a bolt for free
dom, but was soon overtaken by the
attorney.
A complaint, charging vagrancy,
was made out against Perrin and ne
was given a trial in Judge Phil Nc
Loughlin's court. found guilty and
sentenced to serve thirty days in the
county jail. 1t is believed that the
man is insane and he will be held in
the county Jail until officials can in
;vestigate.
When the teller at the bank told
him that he had once been told to go
to the Merchants & Mechanics bank,
he declared that he had not been In
the First National bank before. While
being searched by Sheriff Benson,
Perrin again made a dash for liberty,
but only got as far as the door.
Sheriff Benson last evening stated
that he believes Perrin is either in
sane or playing Off as he neither
talked or acted nationally.

of Deer Creek, was sold to w. j.
Barktr of Iowa for 500 an acre.
Mr.. Truhn bought the farm four

the same locality, to Bernard r.
Kessin of Fredericksburg, Ia, for
$4,000, or $S5 an acre. Another
was the sale of the Julius label

for $66 an acre. Still another was
the sale of the John Rodekuhr
farm to Peter C. Peterson of
Worthington for SIS an acre, the
deal being for 5000 cash.
The light crop in the southwest
ern states and the splendid show

ced there was a well laid plan to
wreck the McCabe outfit.
McCabe questioned the newly en-
ployed men but all strongly Tented
any knowledge of how the spikes
could have gotten into the grain.
Thinking they might have gotten
in by accident McCabe let the matter
drop until later in the evening n Of
his trusted men discovered spikes in
more than a dozen bundles Of grain
waiting to be run through the thresh-
er.
This, the police say, is proof beyond

the machine.
