A prominent Juneau man writes to Valdez:
 "Shackleford will have practically the entire delegation from the First division. This he obtained on the strength that he would support Wickersham and put the latter in nomination as the Republican candi- date for Congress- Of course, I do not think he will do so, because do not think you can very well fuse oil and water. Mir. Shackleford explains, as does Ed Russell of the Dispatch, that Shackleford and Wickersham have entered into an agreement by which Shackleford is to be given the patronage as National Committee man and Wickersham is to be given the nomination as Republican candi- date.
 "ShacklefOrd said as nut a week ago to M. J. O'tonnor of N,uglas that he did not trust Wickersram and that when he got the rroxies he would go to Washington nui take Wickersham up to Hilles, chairman of the national committee, ans make Wickersham relinquish all clatn to the patronage. You know that Wick ersham is not going to do anything of the kind. What, then, is going to re- suit?
 "The Gastineau company threw It. self into the local fight with all it's customary vigor. The men were herded in squads from the mine and
 mill and ushered into automobiles.
 given a ticket, rushed up to the vot-
 ing place in Juneau, where they were
 herded up to the ballot box, voted,
 and herded back into the auto and
 back to the mill and mine again.
 About twenty autos were engaged in
 this work and there was a continual
 string of them coming and going be- tween Thane and Juneau all after
 noon at top speed. Not one in ten of
 the men had ever heard there was go-
 ing to be any kind of an election; not
 one in twenty knew what the election
 was about: not one in twenty saw
 more than one ticket, and would not
 know what either was if they did see it.
 Neither of the local papers dare
 say word about the affair, but the
 public nerve is atingle with excite
 ment over what has occurred, be-
 cause they realize that the result of
 the performance is likely to have @ far-reaching and lasting effects

DEPUTY MARSHALL
 TAXES A BRIDE
INTENDED WEDDING SECRET
A. c. Bowling Married in San Fran cisco to Nurse St. Francis Hos- pitaL Will Return Home on the Steamship Alaska.

Deputy Marshal A. c. Bowling, who is now in the States, will return with a bride on the steamer Alaska, which sails from Seattle on the 22nd, unless all signs fail. MT. Bowling has kept his contemplated marriage secret from even his most intimate friends, the first intimation that he intended to depart from state of single blessedness having been made known to Deputy Marshal John Bouse in 8 letter received from MT. Bowling on the boat arriving here af- ter his departure for the States. The letter in part reads as follows: "I hope the Case de Bowling has not been blown to the demniti0n bow
 vows as I may need it when I return from the outside; from recent ad- vices which received from the Fair City it is likely there will be a va cancy on the staff of nurses in St. Francis Hospital in that place. If, when am advising you of my return I should wire we will return on such boat. you will know that am act ing as escort Ger consort) to the fair one"
 Since receiving the letter news from the deputy has been anxiously awaited at the Marshaps office. and this morning the suspense was brok- en by the receipt of a message read ing as follows:
 | I'VE will return steamer Alaska,
 twenty-second. Bowling"
 From these indications it is believ-
 ed the youth of Valdez will make no
 mistake if they greet MT. Bowling
 on his return with the music of tin
 cans, horns, bells and the other nee
 essary instruments for 6 first-class
 charivari.
