He Saved the Wine

John Bacurie was not the name of the man who died from insanity in the federal jail yesterday morning, says the Juneau Empire of August 6. Reliable information gives his name as John Paikurich Since the mans death several incidents have been brought to light which explain his brief in sanity and his death after an illness of two days About a month ago Henry Erie of Douglas sold out the "Canteen" saloon and offered all his wares at reduced prices, Pal kurich, although spoken of by those who knew him best as mot drinking man, v purchased from the stock of the 'Canteen' a fifty two gallon cask of wine, two gallons of gin and five gallons of whisky, and took the lot to his cabin. During the early days of the warm weather Paikurich remarked to one of his friends that the wine was get ting sour and that if the hot weather didn't end he guessed he would have to drink 1t to save it. Whether the man actually drank all of his supply of irewater is not known. The entire supply has been used up in some manner, for there isn't drop left in the cabin The man was taken to St. Ann's hos pital in Douglas, and after making a sue cessful effort to escape from the nurses there he was taken in custody by Deputy Mar

In the Broad Pass they struck nothing new in the quartz line but saw great ledges of low grade ore.

BETTER BUSINESS IN SIGHT
(Cordova Times


 Times are picking up. There's a rift in the cunmuli, and the silver-and copper lining is appearing The worst seems to be over. Business men who have been sitting on the fire escape with their fingers crossed are beginning to move back into the build ing. Manufacturers are recovering from the dissipations of an enforced vacation. And besides, the good old summer time is here, Capital is poking its timid poll out of the thicket where it has been hiding since the Lord knows when.
 The American nation is recovering its equilibrium, and its ordinary calmness of demeanor and more correct perspectiveness in business matters. All along the line come reports of strengthening in mercantile and industrial lines More men are finding employment There are fewer people out of endowment at Cordova and throughout the Copper River valley than for some time past In fact, the entire nation IS rolling up it's sleeves for work.

SENATOR BEN PULLMAN
 ON WAR SITUATION
Seattle Post -Itelhgencer, Aug. 3

United States Senator Ben R. Tillman of South Carolina chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs, returned last night from an eleven days trip to South eastern Alaska with his wife and family, and is registered at the New Washington. The Southern senator retains the vigor and energy that have made him famous. He has strong views on the foreign situation, and is perfectly frank in giving them.
 q am afraid that Germany realizes she must lose and that she IS trying to drag us into the war so she can say the whole world was against her." said the senator. Wilson is doing all he can to keep us out of trouble, and is doing mighty fine job but l want to say right here that Wilson won't beg on his belly to be let alone If Teddy had been in the White House we would have been fighting Mexico and Germany both by this time, and we can be thankful that Wilson IS where he is"
 Senator Tllman announced himself in favor of adequate naval stations to handle the Pacific fleet, and he will inspect the Puget sound navy yard with a great deal of interest. His idea of satisfactory fleet is a fleet that can handle any other that may be brought against it.
 q don't just know what Daniels and Will son will recommend for naval defense, but whatever they want 1 will do my best to belp put through" he said. Personally, l want to see navy that is good enough to handle any that may be brought against us. I favor plenty of submarines and fast cruls- CTS I want those cruisers fast, so if they have to chase an enemy they can catch up, and if they have to run they can run fast enough to get away. l want to see guns on those crusers just as good as there are anywhere. If seventeen-inch guns are the the best there are, want seventeen-lnch guns. If eighteen-inch guns are better, then I am for eighteen-inch guns. l want our guns to shoot just as far and hard as the guns of any navy that comes against us
 Senator TiIlman returned from Alaska a confirmed enthusiast for the territory. "One of the finest dairy countries l ever saw" he said. q saw white and red clover growing at Skagway that was fit to pasture a lot of cattle on. Cold? 1 wasn't cold up North. The only place l have been cold was in San Francisco, and nearly froze to death down there. Had to go to Alaska to get rightly warmed up
 While on his present trip Senator Tillman inspected the Notifications at Panama and characterized them as good enough to give an enemy lively time.

HOW RUSSIA CAME TO BE
 SHORT OF WAR MUNITIONS

Ther has been great deal of conjecture in this country as to the cause ot the lack of weapons and ammunition adequate prop erly to equip the Russian army, says a w Washington dispatch,
 The real reason probably never has been told Russia, before the beginning of the war, was known not only to have man. tained factories for the manufacture of guns and ammunition for ordinary needs, but to have had a reserve supply sufficient to pre- vent it from being taken by surprise Tn the event of war The most important factories capable of turning out war materials were in the neighborhood of Petrograd, Moscow, Nijm rovgorod, Tihs, Odessa and Sebasto- pol
 During the forty eight hours preceding and following the declaration of war by Ger many against Russia these plants were put out of business by ncendiary fires and dy- namite explosions The Russians always have felt justified in conceding the destruc ton of their munitions to the work of Ger man spies or through the use of German money.
 During the tumult that followed the dec laration of state of war between Ger many and Austria the outside world knew nothing of the devastation wrought to the Russian armies by the enemy, although 1t now develops that some men who were caught red handed were shot or hanged The strict censorship then maintained at Petrograd and other Russian cities prevented any knowledge of the disasters from reach ing the outside world
 That the blow struck by Germany against Russia, however, was pretty thorough and hcomplete is evidenced by the fact that only within the last three months have any of these arms plants been restored to working conditions and with minimum of output, inadequate to supply more than one-fourth of the actual needs of the Russian military forces.

SPORT EVENTS
 AT FLAT CITY

The sporting blood of Flat City, which had been stirred almost to fever heat tor several days prior to last Monday Labor day received somewhat of cold douche when the scheduled events set for the hoh- day program were pulled oil. The horse race was disappointing to many because of the fact that Meachams Blue was with drawn; the wrestling match between Tony Jropa and Japanese Hidey proved to be a fasco. and the boxing contest between "Hank Robinson of Fort Gibbon and Dan Brewster of Seattle" turned out to be a Imaginable burlesque on the noble art of self defense.'
 The horse race held in the afternoon, was in three heats, two of which were won by Lowrie's Billie and one by Ignatius Frank McGibney's black pony made the third entry in the event in place of the one with drawn The oldtimer, Ignatius, seemed to be the favorite with the talent, but it is claimed he was not as well ridden as was his successful opponent Mead Maynard rode Billie" and experienced no difficulty in landing the stake.
 A large crowd saw the race, and a great deal of interest was manifested, but no great amount of money changed hands on the contest
 Points" in Wrestling
 The evening events, the wrestling and boxing contests, were pulled oil III Moose hall. and attracted quite large sized crowd of lovers of these sports. The wrestling match between Tony Tropa and Japanese Hidey was at any holds, and it was under stood that any style of wrestling would be permitted. At the demand of the subject of the mikado, special jackets were furnished the contestants, having a rope collar for hand holds, it being explained that these were necessary in the style of wrestling en- ployed by Hidey- jui jitsui. When time was called the gladators, without any pre- lminary sparring, secured holds, and the next instant the lad from sunny Italy was describing an arc through the air. The clever little Japanese bounced upon him immediately and pinned him to the floor, claiming point in the match. There was some dispute about this and Tony inquired, What you call-a da point?" The Nip ponese replied: "Breakee arm, one point; breakee leg two points; breakee neck, three points-me win" It being demonstrated that none of Tonys bones were broken, the claim to points was dsallowed, and the match was resumed, but the assurance dis

played by Hidey completely unnerved Tony, and he did not cut much of figure in the match. When the two again came to- eether Tony was thrown over the Japs head his feet being lifted almost to the ceiling. He came to the mat with such force that he was stunned, and on being revived by his opponent, inquired wonder ingly what had happened. It seems that Tony had but hay understanding ot the Japanese style of wrestling prior to the match; but he understood now. He con cluded that he had had enough, and the bout was awarded to Hidey.
 The Boxing Contest
 The boxing contest was refereed by George Mutchler, with Hot Air Riley as timekeeper. Neither of the contestants showed any skill as boxer, and as Riley describes it, it soon developed into hug ging contest. After being repeatedly warned by the referee that the audience which had paid admission to see a glove contest dld not care to witness an exhibition of mascu- line affection the boys struggled through several rounds of uninteresting lodging and shuffling. The rounds were to have been of two minutes duration, but Riley could not resist the temptation to "Job' the con testants, and kept lengthening the rounds first to three minutes, then to four and the last round continued for a period Of five and a half minutes, and the boxers were "all in
 The crowd took the matter good naturedly and no one asked for his money back.
 Taking it all in all, however, the crowd had lot of fun and though disappointed at the lack of scientific sport they enjoyed themselves immensely, and that is what holidays are for, anyway.
 Concludes With Dance
 The impromptu Labor day celebration came to close in typical Alaska fashion with dancing, indulged in until a late hour, and which was enjoyed by many.

FINAL TRIUMPH or
CHRISTIANITY

Isaiah saw with prophetic vision
the coming Of the Christ that should
represent universal world peace.
There are skeptlcs in these days
who want to charge that Christian
lty is O failure because a great per
cent OF so-called Christian nations
are at war.
There are sane reasons for the be-
lief that through this prevalence Of
war, Christianity is about to prove
a tremendous triumph. The war In
Europe is the result OF selfishness
and sinful ambition Of kings and
people have drlfted away from God
and Righteousness and are turned to
the achievement Of wealth and pow
er Various religious cults are In
yolved and men have gone to ey-
tremes In lust
10 may be that this international
disturbance is the beginning OF O
new epoch in Christian dominance
The American people are a Christian
people. They worship the true God.
The American way Is to promote
Justice among men and nations.
