DANCING SEASON OPENS
 WITH GREAT ECLAT. Arctic Brotherhood Hall is a Thing of Beauty and Dance Will be
 a Joy Forever.

The dancing season will be in- augurated tomorrow night by the Arctic Brotherhood when that organ ization's fine new hall throws its doors open to the dance lovers of the city. This dance will mark the opening of the first season of gaiety for Seward as the terminal of the great govern meut railroad and may, therefore, be regarded as something far more than any ordinary dance. The hall itself might be called, without an attempt at punniug, the "hall mark" of Sew ards's prsperity. The fine chamber has been beautifully decorated for the occasion and Seward people are in for good time.

Shaw will be the editor of the new paper in that city and says he expects to have the first issue of the daily out in about week from now. Mir. Shaw is the editor of the Cook Inlet Pioneer and says the only reas- on they could not use that plant for a daily was the fact that all news had to te set up by hand and therefore a Linotype machine, one of which was in the outfit purchased, was the thing mott needed for a daily.

war ralk Kills ThIs poa.

A prize police or army dog, owned
by G. C. Sunstrum of this city. killed
itself recently, says a Geneva dispatch
to the New York Sun. Mr.. Sunstrum'
an athlete, had carefully trained his
dog since it was puppy OF late MI.
Sunstrum has talked frequently Of re-
turning to Germany. and he discussed
the prospect of war frequently with
companions and others. Sunstrum de-
clares the dog took particular interest
in the talk. showing it by his move
ments and the manner in which ne
would cling to his master.
When the dog evinced this interest
Mr.. Sunstrum would frequently de-
clare he would come back and get the
dog after the war in case he left this
country. The other night he left
the pet tied with a chain on a porch
at his home,
When he returned late in the eve
ming he found the dog had jumped over
the railing of the porch, and the chain
nad drawn the collar about his necB
and strang1ed him. Friends Of the
owner believe the dog thought it had
lost it's master and ended its life.
