Financial Backing Has Been Secured, 1t Is Said for KingSbury

CHICAGO MEN IN DEAL
Dissatisfied Holders ot Stock May Now Sell at Par if They
 so Desire.

Word has been received in Juneau from the promoters of the Kingsbury Electrograph Company that they have closed a deal which will insure the manufacture and placing of their big advertising signs on the market in way to put the affairs of the company on firm financial basis Chicago capital has become interest ed in the company, according Co the information, and 1t is planned to put the signs on all the theatres and movie houses in that big city. The word received here came in the form of Q personal letter from George Lovegrove to one of the Juneau stockholders and close personal friend and says in part:
 Sign Is Adapted.
 "Kingsbury has developed an ad aptation of the sign for theatres, moving picture houses. etc, which works automatically and shows any desired number of changes without the use of the typewriter This will in no way interefre with the adyer- Using plans: but is an addition that opens another source of revenue for the company He has also periecteI a new device for exhibiting the il- lustrated advertisements which will cut the cost of the sign to about a fourth of what We figured in the first estimate.
 This will make it possible to go| ahead on the original capitalization of $25OOOO. The only thing the Chicago people insist on is that the charter of the company be changed from Alaska 10 Illinois. They are justified in making this demand as they are putting up the bulk of the money and are entitled to adequate representation on the board of di- rectors. This is impossible under the laws of Alaska which provide that the majority of the board of di- rectors shall be residents of Alaska. It will be beneficial to the Alaskan stockholders as it means that the affairs of the company will be under the direction of competent business men.

Was Opposed to Tobacco and Mem
bers Persisted in Using 1t.
AS the result of controversy with
the members of the Presbyterian
brotherhood over the question of
whether there should be smoking at
the informal meeting of that body
Rev. J. A. Cowling, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Jefferson
City, Mo-, rendered his resignation.
Mr.. Cowling was opposed to the
use of tobacco by members of the
brotherhood at their meetings and
on one occasion openly suggested
that the smoking be not permitted.
The members of the brotherhood, by
common consent, went on with the
smoking at the meetings. First one
and then another member would
bring in a box of cigars.
The smoking controversy went on
for several weeks and gradually the
relations between the pastor and the
brotherhood became more strained,
with the result that Mr.. Cowling ten
dered his resignation and the con-
gregation voted to accept it.

PIunges to His Death From Craft
Probably 1000 Feet in Air.
Curious things happen in wal
times, but there. has been nothing
more startling than that which hap
pened to a certain family which lives
in a town on the east coast of Eng
land.
Some days ago Zeppelins flew over
this port, which was nothing unusual.
The members of the household were
partaking of a late evening meal.
They heard bombs exploding and the
fire of anti-aircraft guns. Suddenly
there was a tremendous crash at
the back of the house. Evidently
something had dropped into the con-
servatory. 1t was assumed that it
was bomb. For a few minutes the
people remained where they were,
fearing further explosion. Then
they investigated.
In the conservatory, most of the
glass of which was broken, they
found the body of German air sail
or. He had evidently accidentally
fallen from a Zeppelin, or perhaps
he was knocked out by a well placed
British shell. He had fallen from a
tremendous height, probably no less
than 1000 feet.

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
nent of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food. tonic and amedicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.

didn't say that at all. They went to
work and carried out his wishes to
the letter, even if the will wasn't
signed.
This is where The Greatest Thing
in the World comes in. One of the
| brothers had been reading the book
and had been thinking about it. At
ter everybody in the house was asleep
and the clocks ticking was the only
sound that came up the stairs and he
could hear his heart throb and used
to lie there rejecting how he could
make a million more the ideas which
the deucedly impractical book pre-
sented kept coming into his hard bus
mess head. So when he read his
brothers. will he just slapped his
knee-his name is Thomas Alexan-
der Forsyth-and said: "That's a
good idea; I'll speak to the other
boys about it."
They agreed. Among the three
brothers they raised enough money
to make the endowment of the den
tai clinic 100000. Think of it!
Four millions of dollars just to fix up
the teeth of a lot of poor urchins
whose folks could not afford to pay
dentists bills! What a crazy no.
ton!
The Job Three Rich Brothers Took.
But these brothers had no heirs
to have them adjudged insane and
have trustees appointed to look after
their property. So, being capable
business men and able to pay for the
foolishness nobody stopped them.
They looked the matter up. They
found that the government takes care
of almost everything but children's
teeth. 1t looks out that hog cholera
does not make havoc among pigs,
that bugs do not infest apple trees,
that the cattle tick does not eat up
the cows, that clans and oysters have
suitable beds to lie in; but nobody
cared a rap about the suffering of
poor children because of their teeth.
What of it? Who cares whether
poor children have any teeth or not?
Well, sometimes one of these poor
children becomes a pretty important
man. A great railroad man died out
in st. Paul a few weeks ago named
James j. Hill. The doctors say his
death was due to the fact that he
had poor teeth. What would it have
been worth to him if some free clinic
had cared for his teeth when he was
poor boy?
Anyway, they built the big dental
building in Boston. They got great
doctors to go there and run it. If
your folks are too poor to send you
to a private dentist all you have to
do is take nickel and go to the For
syth clinic if you are under 10. The
nickel is just so you won't be accept
ing charity.-Saturday Globe.

THE "ANTI-LYNCRLNG"
BILL MEETS DEFEAT
COMMITTEE OPPOSES MEASURE
TO GIVE GOVERNOR POWER
TO DEPOSE SHERIFFS.

The bill of President G. Ogden
Persons, providing for the deposit
ton of sheriffs by the governor for
failure to execute the duties of their
Office and which has come to be
known as the "anti-lynching" bill,
has been unfavOrably reported by the
senate general judiciary committee.
The provisions of the bill author
ize the governor to examine into the
conditions and administration of the
office of sheriff in the counties of
this state, and after five days no
tice to the sheriff and hearing be-
fore the governor to remove such
officer from office and appoint a sue
cessor for the unexpired term for
neglect of duty, for corrupt conduct,
or any other misfeasance, malfea-
sance or malpractice in office.
In addressing the committee Sena-
tor Persons said he desired to give
the governor the machinery to en-
force the law, and if he then fails to
do it the responsibility is on him.
Drastic and Undemocratic.
In opposing the bill Senator B. F.
Mclaughlin insisted that it was con-
trary to all principles of democracy.
"a sheriff is elected by the people.
Are you going to allow the governor
to arbitrarily remove an officer elect
ed by the people without any right
of appeal? My idea is that the sher-
if is just as liable to do his duty as
the governor, and there is no machin-
cry to arbitrarily remove the gov
ernor."
"To say that this bill is drastic, TO
say it is revolutionary, to say it vio-
lates every principle of human lib
erty and freedom is but to put it
mildly" insisted Senator c. R. Nc
Crory. "This bill proposes to vest in
one man the right to try and remove
another man without even the right
of appeal when the sheriff is not a
servant of the governor, but of the
judge. Lynching is not due process
of law, but neither would the provis-
ions of this bill, if passed, be due
process of law. The proposed rene
dy is worse than the disease"

That night he wrote a clause to

But he forgot to sign the will.
The three remaining brothers did
a tremendously impractical thing
when they found that will. They did
not tell the surrogate "Our poor,

sign it; the money he, of course, in
tended should go to u.s." No; they

left undisturbed would develop two
adult weevils in fifteen days. AS
Stunning the two to be a pair, male

tions they could raise over 100000

sides she would destroy many more

the destruction of one form you soon

develop weevils and thus perpetuate
her colony. You break up her nest.
Destroy all punctured forms. Re

THE STORY OF FOUR MILLION
ARE BACHELOR BROTHERS,
A TOOTHACHE, A CRYING
CHILD, AND A BOOK.

Thirty years ago or so there ap-
peared a little book written by a
great man. 1t was entitled the Great
est Thing in the World. 1t had wide
reading and made a deep impress
sion. 1t came before the worship OF
Mammon was as pronounced as 1t IS
now. before the greatest trusts and
combines in the world were perfect
ed: before the greatest engines OF
war were invented; before the great
est armies, the greatest sea fights,
the greatest slaughters and few
other greatest things in the world
appeared.
1t was the greatest thing in the
world then, is the greatest thing in
the world now, and it will be tomor-
row and the next day and through
all eternity. And when armies and
emperors and kings and magnates
and millionaires and the other pom
posities of the world get tired OF
their own particular toys they could
do no worse than read this little book
about something that is really great.
That's one part of the story.
The second is a group of four crus-
tv old bachelors down in Boston in a
dingy, big business house, piling up
money so fast they couldn't count it,
and after they had made it not know
ing what to do with it. For they
were thrifty brothers-Scotch-and
they couldn't bear to spend it fool
ishly buying clothes and yachts and
champagne and fast horses. So they
kept piling up the dollars in their
glum old warehouse, just four crusty
old bachelors. They are the second
part of the story.
The third part is little child cry
ing in the night. There was poet
chap, named Tennyson, who once
wrote:
"but what am l?
All lilldIIJ VI JlIIS III CAAS i4loHSi
An infant crying for the light;
And with no language but cry"
Some time when some of these
mighty chaps, these great lords of
creation, who can shoot cannon 20
miles and lay waste homes and make
little children fatherless, and weak
women homeless; and those other
chaps who can put across deals
that boost the price of coal and make
homes chill and dark, inviting illness
for babies; and raise the price of food
few pennies to fatten their own
pockets; and can make combines and
freeze out some poor, impractical in
ventor or some unsuspecting widow
of a stockholder-soE1 time, when
some of these puny creatures (great
only because some other ants are
little punier) get tired of counting
bonds and ruined villages and demol-
ished homes and wrecked lives let
them read that poet chaps words,
too.
Maybe, if they've got any souls
left; if the divine living thing in them
hasn't all shriveled up and died, they
will take a drop on themselves.
What Came Over the Four.
At least, that's what happened to
those four crusty old bachelors in
