granted them the ballot.
New Jersey will be the first state to

have a marked effect on the elections

held in New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts IN November. We
must not only win, but we must win
by an overwhelming and emphatic IA

ARMSBYS
 CAPTURE
By DONALD cHAMBERLIN

Armsby was to be his aunts heir. The day be came of age the old lady sent for him and thus addressed him;
 Bert, wish you to marry. I take 1t for granted that you are fancy free. I would not for the world force you to wed any one you don't love. There is a girl who am sure you would love if you only knew her as do. wish you to become acquainted with her, and if, after a certain time, you don't fancy her shall not insist on your yielding to my wishes."
 T don't wish to marry and I won't"
 "But you are not so unreasonable as to avoid the girl have mentoned|
 "Yes, am."
 Perhaps 1t was the fact of her neph- ew's indifference to her fortune, per haps her great affection for him, per. haps a desire to have her own way. At any rate, the old lady resolved to conquer. She talked of other matters for awhile. then said carelessly:
 How would you like Q trip abroadT
 q should be delighted but 1t would cost several thousand dollars"
 q will furnish the amount necessary on one condition-that on your return you spend q week with me-" ..
 The conditions were accepted. Arms by went abroad and on his return went directly to his aunt's country house, where she was at the time. At dinner he was presented to Miss Lucy Ellison. He saw at once that he had been drawn Into a trap. He had agreed to spend q week in the house and was to be besIeged by this young woman.
 This was true, and there was more that he was not aware Of Miss Ell son had Q way with her that was very taking with men. No one could find out exactly why but they tumbled over one another In endeavoring to win a smile from her. Sometimes she was coy, sometimes aggressive. She knew when to be the one and when to be the other.
 Armsby was indignant at the trick his aunt had played him. After din ner, finding her alone, he said to her:
 Aunt, you have brought me here in order that this girl may get me for a husband. I will keep my contract l

 PREACHER

While the residents of the Iditar- cd section do not claim to be any better than other people, they cer- taluly feel that they are just as good, even if there is no one there to minister to their spiritual wants. In fact there is no need of a sky pilot h that meek O the woods if Editor Arbuckle's paper speaks by the book. A minister of the gos- pei wrote to Iditarod asking if the camp needed his services and the Pioneer replied editorially on the subject as follows:
 I've may as well be entirely frank with our correspondent and inform him at the outset that it is our firm belief that there is no pressing demand for the services of a minister in Iditarod Not that we are an trreligious people-far from it. Nor need the reverend gentle man be unnecessarily concerned about the "deplorable fact" that We are deprived of religious services. The people of the Iditarod section are Of such cosmopolitan make uU that it is exeremely doubtful fl there could be found enough adher- ents to any one religion to form a congregation. The population is rather widely scattered. and travel between the different sections is cy- trcnelv difficult at certain seasons or the year

RIG ICE FLOES ARE
 MENACE TO NAVIGATION

Cordova Times: The officers of the steamer Mariposa, report that the tig steamship was forced out Of its regular path by immense ice Hoes from Columbia glacier. The Mari2osa took the inside channel between the wreck of the Olympia and the mainland to avoid the great bergs which were floating in the channel usually taken by steamers entering and leaving Ellamar.
 The officers believe that the un- usual ice conditions must have been caused by an earthquake which caused the big glacier to empty millions of tons of ice into the bay as the field of ice was eX- ts4siye and the bergs larger than any ever before encountered along this part of the coast of Alaska. Sc were earthquake shocks have been experienced around Juneau and oth- CT Southeastern points and the Mari posa's officers believed that the disturbances had extended to the north and caused the glaciers to break loose.
 Captains of launches who have recently made the trip to Port Wells report that the Columbia glacier, which has always been very active during the late summer, has been discnarging immense quantities of ice this fall, and at times the chan neI between Glacier island and the glacier has been packed with the Ilocs. They express the belief that the ice encountered by the Mari pOsa was carried out from the Gla- cier island channel by the high tide.
