The defendant, Wm. Thomas, testi- fled to having gone through her trunk before they separated two years ago and discovered the certificate of the former marriage,
 Mrs. Thomas took the stand and denied that she had ever been married to a man in Fairbanks by the name of John Hubbard or ever had such a certificate, and the court discharged the motion to show cause, for want of standardization.

That the chance for the prOspectOr with the right outfit to locate paying claims in Alaska is nearly as good as it ever was is the opinion c. Ander- son, himself a prospector of the far north.

Alaska is too big a country to have been entirely covered, and all a man needs is a gcOd outfit and de- termination The days of the big strikes are not yet over, and the mod ern prospector will yet find his share of rich diggings.

SOLDIER OF FRANCE
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Officer Recssles Beranged From Constant Thought of Army
 Desertions

Paris, September 3.-d1:3O a. m.)-The idea that soldier of France should de. sert the army at the time of his coun- try's greatest need so weighed upon the mind of Lieutenant Poncot that he com mittod suicide today under the halluci- ration that he himself was a deserter.
 The lieutenant was a clerk of the su- preme court and had been detailed to act as representative of the ministry of justice before the second courtmartial of Paris. In this capacity he was called upon to investigate many cases of deser- ton. His mind thus fixed upon this sub ject it came to haunt him, and preyed upon his mind until he became deranged
 Every unknown person whom he en- countered in the palace of justice he took for a secret service man on his track This morning he was having breakfa st with his family when the door bell rang
 They are secret service agents come to arrest ne for desertion,' he cried ex2 citedly.
 He ran to his room and before he could be prevented seized his revolver and shot himself dead.

BITTER BATTLE ON
 THE CONVICT LEASE
 SYSTEM PROMISED
Senate Will Take Up Aboli- tiOn Measure on Tuesday MOrning-Substitute Is
 Reported Fav0rably
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery, September 3.-The convict
 lease system. according to indications. will be the issue of bitter battle in the senate Tuesday morning.
 This morning. the committee on prisons and criminal administration reporter fav- orably the substitute for the Davis-Ca
 michael abolition bill recently passed by the house by a fine majority vote of it's members. This substitute, as The Age Herald reported this morning, would sub-
 init in the next general election, not only the subject of the abolition of the lease system. but proposed amendment un- der which the state and the counties could secure sufficient money with which to maintain the convicts.
 The abolitionsts are convinced that the substitute is a measure drawn for the purpose of securing the defeat of the abolition plan. Therefore. they will exert their every effort towards securing it's defeat The present plan of the aboli- tionists to follow in part the lead of the opposing forces. to take in other words, their chief argument from them. In fur therance of this scheme. it is regarded as highly probable that a motion will be offered in the senate Tuesday amend ing the substitute so that the question of abolition, unincumbered by proposed amendments respecting financial obiga- tons of state and county will be submit ted to the people in the next general election. M
 Both sides are preparing for the battle It Is believed that the governor Is using his influence to secure the defeat of the abolition idea. or, at any rate, the reten- ton of the substitute bill. The abolition Ists, on the other hand, are straining every nerve in order that condition which has been for many years severely criticized might be eliminated from the body politic.s
