The Ketchikan Mail, while claiming to be a warm supporter of Mir. Wicker sham in his race for re election as Alas kan delegate to congress, nevertheless seems to be more interested in ihe question as to whether he shall be re- turned as a progressive democrat, or as an independent, and waxes wroth at the Juneau Dispatch and the Peters burg Progressive for daring to insinuate that the delegate is anything but an out and-out progressive. It is likely that the Skagway Daily Alaskan will also come in for like literary castiga- ton by the Mail for having made the same statement. We will say, however, in advance of anything with which the Mail may see fit to charge us, that it is immaterial to us whether Mir. Wicker sham is returned as a party nominee or not. We are working for the re election of the man, aud it would seem to us a good plan for all bis friends to follow the came course instead of try
 ng to split political hairs over a ques- tion that has DO material bearing upon the subject.-Skagway Alaskan,

Eskimo Girls Protected

One of Captain Henderson's first cases as judge of Uncle Sam's famous floating court" was to suppress kid- mapping of Eskimo girls by whaling captains. He sent out orders 10 all the whaling vessels that any officer guilty of this offeuse in the future would either be compelled to marry the girl or be sent to prison. The order was generally respected. But Captain Mog, a whaling skipper of the old school, laughed defiance at the "6oatipg court" and it's judge. He trumpeted bis de- fance to the four winds of the Arctic, declaring stoutly that DO man could dictate to him in matters of morality or personal conduct. Captain Tender son picked up the gauntlet thus thrown down and cent word to Captain MoR that the very next time he ran away with an Eskimo girl be would have to marry her or repent his contempt of
 law behind iron doors,
 When Capt. Henderson reached Port Clarence next summer he learned that this gay Lothario of the sea had stolen the prettiest Eskimo girl in the village aud sailed away for the whaling grounds east of Herschel Island, in the Arctic ocean. Captain Henderson ex- poded with wrath, and vowed right there that he would settle the score with Captain Mog before the season ended. There was much work ahead of the Thetis just then, and immediate pursuit was out of the question. Other whaling captains, clearing from Port Clarence, met Captain Mog higher up the coast and warned him of the squall gathering upon his quarter. These re. peated warnings from his friends finally had their effect, and Captain Mog, who, with reckless courage, had beached his boat hundred times on the backs of the mighty bowhead whales, became frightened for the first time in his life. He ran for Point Bar row, the fear of prison life lending speed to his keel, took the Eskimo cap- tive before a missionary, and married her out of hand. Then he haslened to send the marriage certificate, duly signed and attested, 10 Captain Hen dersou.-Walter Noble Burns in Wide World Magazine.

Death and Hardship Prospec-
 tors Portion

E. E. Patterson, president of the Kotzebue Fur and Trading company, recently returned from the Kotzebue and Shungnak stations, where he has been looking after the business of his company, and tells of the terrible ex perience undergone by two prospectors who left Fairbanke in March to pros pect the headwaters of the Noatak and Litna rivers. The parties were Joe Wilsou and his partner, the name of the latter not being known. The men met with a great many hardships and soon exhausted their supplies of pro visions and had to live off the country through which they were travelling, which consisted entirely of fresh meat which they subsisted on, not even hay ing salt with which to make tue meat palatable aud wholesome. Wilson's partner weakened and was unable to continue the trip and was persuaded to turn back. Wilson gave him five guar ters of mountain sheep and started him back, from which time be has not been heard from and it is thought that he perished on the trail.
 Wilson continued to the Noatak and subsisted on caribou meat and such game as he could obtain, and finally succeeded in reaching Kotzebue about the 25th of August, having been brought in by natives from a village on Che Noatak river, which Wilson suc- ceeded in reaching after undergoing terrible sufferings. Wilson had con- tracted scurvy and his condition aroused the sympathies of the natives who finally consented to take him to Kotzebue because he was "plenty sick" although at the time they were staying close at home in accordance with one of their expectations to avoid the devil, which their hunters had reported to be on the headwaters of the Noatak, having seen the tracks of the monster while on a caribou hunt.
 Wilson stayed at Kotzebue four days under the care of the government doc- tor, and finally went to Keewalik and is now in the Candle hospital Nome l Nugget.

 The source of the infection iu Mr Ea5ss herd Is siin a mystery He bought Ea cows from Max Case. or any of the other owners q infected cattle, and. ln fact has neither sold nor bought su animal of any descrip- tion fer several months. One possible so.ution which tie inspectors are in- caued to IAlnk may be the rgAt one Is that fAe germs of the disease were carried into Mir. Bliss barns by tramps Who slept there ever night after having been in infected barns. Peddlers or solicitors travelling from house to house may also have been responsible for Inc infection. II Is for this reason that farmers who know the mai snancy of the disease have taken strict precautions Co keep strangers away from their property. especially she yicni1& Of iheir cattle, since tae episa0t.e broke oat ia Hart fctd

FEDERAL BUGABOO.

The rumor concerning the placing
of Federal League baseball team
in Louisville has served its pur-
pose--free advertising for some who
enjoy basking In the light of pub
licity., II there had been any
foundation to the rumor whereby a
team was located here IT is a safe
bet that II would not draw flies. In
the first place the majority of
players now are oast-offs of the
major and Glass A leagues, these
same players becoming top-notchers
in the much-touted Federal League,
local fans remembering how Carr,
Uepiox and the Delehantys, for in
stance. were about through in the
association. and the final standing
ofQthe Federal League shows them
as stars in that circuit. Although
indianapolis under Carr won the
Federal pennant, nevertheless the
team backers lost money on the
season, and only one team out of the
eight did better than break even.
The louisville fans are perfectly
satisfied with the class of ball fur
nished by Owner Wathen and have
no desire to see the league Of
down-and-outers represented here.
