GOOD NEWS
Many Alaska Readers Have Heard
 It and PrOfited Thereby.

Good news travels fast" and the bad back sufferers in this vicinity are glad to learn where re lief may be found. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks b Doan's Kidney Pills. Thousands upon thousands Of people are telling the good news Of their experience with this tested remedy. Here is an example worth reading.
 F. H. Wieland, 1902 E. 41st St, Los Angeles, Cal, says: For a long time I suffered from pain in the small of my back and I could scarcely get around. My kidneys were disordered and the kidney se- eretiOns were highly colored and irregular in passage. Doan's Kid ney Pills relieved the lameness and weakness aud removd all troub- le with the kidneys. I have had no return of the complaint"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy

CRUDE WAY OF VOTING

The most crude and unsatisfac- tory method of casting ballots in an election we have ever seen, was that in use yesterday in Skagway as well as in the other voting precincts in the First Division. The use of two ballot boxes was bad enough, but when it is taken into considera- ton that the ballots on which the names of the candidates of the various parties (of which there were four) as well as those Of the three candidates for delegate were printed were white, it is not sur prising that twelve of the people who voted yesterday might as we'll have stayed at home, for their votes were thrown out by the el- ection judges.
 Had the ballots for the delegate been printed on different colored paper from those used by the divi- sionaI candidates the matter would have been greatly simplified, but apparently no orc thought of this eXpedient before the bal lots were distributd for use on the morning of the election, and then it was too late.
 The Australian ballot system was, We are informed, used in the other three divisions O. the territory through an agreement of all parties interested, and we are at a loss to understand why the same thing was not done in the first division.
 However it is too late to make a kick" now, and the only reason for our doing so is to draw the atten- tion Of the members Of the com ing legislature to the necessity of taking before they adjourn, some steps to have the Australian system introduced in Alaska.
