Now, frills and curls In schools for girls
 And lots of pulchritude, While not so bad, We'll say, egad,
 At risk of seeming rude, Some skill in books, Along with books,
 Each maiden should possess. Enough to show She thinks, you know,
 Of something more than dress.

LOVE IS FOOLISH SOMETIMES.

According to reports, when the democrat resi- dents of Juneau assembled at a meeting at the council chamber recently there were only hand ful of them; and with the exception of one dele gate from Douglas and one from Skagway, all the rest were from the capital city. Not even proxy from anywhere else. But that isn't the point; when they entered the hall they spied a picture of their old flame hanging on the wall in dignifed repose-not by the neck-and look ing down upon them with an air-we imagine of I-know-y -you-all-t -to-be-in-love-wth-me sort of look, but you dare not admit it. That was enough and although somewhat bashful-just like kids they moved to turn his face to the wall. Just as we did one time when courting. The girl tilted us and we turned her face to the wall thinking that we might forget her. But we never did and had to beg her pardon after all that trouble
 Most of the democrats at Juneau are in love with Wickersham and proved it by their support until he announced himself a republican; and while in the bottom of their hearts they still love him, they dare not admit it openly Yet, let Wick come around, they'll let him box their ears, and possibly kick their pants and all that, but they'll support him again, just as sure as anything. They'll never forget him, never It takes a republican to forget republican, just the same as it takes a democrat to forget demo- crat. To prove that, we only have to point out Roosevelt and Bryan.

DOUBTFUL PROPHECIES.

Political prophecies vary nowadays. There }re some who say that Suzer will be the next delegate to congress while others say that Wick arsham cannot be defeated The same thing may be said about Wilson and Hughes. How ever, looking over the prophecies already made, with the exception of the First Division in Alas la and the Southern states, we see a mental of gloom covering up the democratic party. The continent that made Hughes the republican can didate is increasing, and will make him president. md that same sentiment is likely to spread to Alaska and will elect Wickersham again. Gee! but that is h for some of us.

The time Of the district court

cich, charged with murder in the
first degree in the killing of
Charles Bolin at Blackwells log
ging camp last July.
Monday and Tuesday we're tax
en- up in securing jury and it
was Wednesday morning when
the taking of testimony was COM
menced. The evidence of the
state was to the effect that BO-
lin and the defendant had quar-
relied while at work in the woods
on the morning of the shooting
and the quarrel was renewed
after they reached the camp for
dinner and eliminated in BOlin
striking Milacich. The latter
seized a club and started to strike
I3olin, who took the club away
from him and told him to go
away. Bolin then went into the
wash tent and started washing
Milacich went to his bunk, pro-
lcured a gun and came back and
vert into the tent where Bolin
vas. He made some remark TO
BOlin who again told him to go
away, at the same time applying
an epithet to him. Milacich drew
his gun and fired a shot at BOlin
who started to run out of the tent.
Milacich followed and fired two
more shots, the first striking Bo-
lin in the back and passing
through his body coming out neal
the heart. The second bullet
struck him in the hip, shattering
the hip bone and bringing him tC
the ground.
Milacich ran through between
the two tents up over the hill ano
into the woods. That night h'
came back TO the camp and wa
arrested. BOlin was placed il
an automobile and started 70

here.
The defendants testimony wa
TO the effect that he and Bolin hal
lquarreled in the woods and BOlin
, had applied vile epithets to hin
and struck him at that time an
, also had struck him and curse
r him at the camp. He also testi
fed that BOlin had threatened t

into the city on October %. On
that evening he was seen by the
officers to get off No. II with a
heavy suitcase. He was fol-
lowed by Deputy Sheriff Boutin
and Chief of Police Steele and ar
rested. The suitcase was found
to contain liquor and he was
bound over for trial.
His defense was that as he was
getting off the train a man whom
he did not know handed him the
suitcase and asked him to carry
1t stating that he had some
bundles to carry and would meet
him. After getting off the train
he went down the track. East
OF O'Dwyer's warehouse he left
the track and went to the side
walk. According to the testimony
of the officers after reaching the
sidewalk he turned west and af-
ter goin a short distance was ar
rested. He stated that he was
on his way down town and denied
turning west. The jury found
him guilty
Outside Of the murder case, all
of the criminal cases tried at this
term of court were bootlegging
cases. OF the defendants
charged with that offense, two
lPlead guilty and were sentenced
by the court; two, Lawrence

appear and their bonds were for
feited; two, C. f. Deskin and
Barney Tooker, stood trial and
were convicted. The charge
against Otto GanO was dismissed

mains yet TO be tried. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Elder has made a
good record at this term of the
court. He has tried all Of the
cases alone and has secured a
conviction in each case.

Collar Residence
Destroyed By Fire
NARROW ESCAPE OF TWO CHILDREN
House and contents Are Total Loss Damage
About Fifteen EIundred Dollars

The farm residence Of J. A. Go
lar, about two miles north of this
city, was destroyed by fire We'd
nesday afternoon. The fire start
ed about four o'clock when Mrs.
Collar was alone with two small
children, one aged five and the
other three. Mr.. Collar was at
his blacksmith shop in the city
and the larger children at school.
The two little boys were in the
house alone at the time the fire
started, Mrs. Collar being some
distance away from the house.
When she first discovered the fire
the building was a mass of flames
and it was impossible to save
anything. The two children had
a very narrow escape from death
and their clothing was scOrched
before they got out of the build
ing.
The fire is a hard blow to Mr..
Collar as not only was the resi-
dence destroyed by all of the fur
niture and clothing as well, the
only things saved being the cloth
ing worn by the different mem
bers of the family at the time.
Mr.. Collar places his loss at
something over fifteen hundred
dollars, with no insurance. AT
present the family is living in
small room in the rear Of Mr.
Collars blacksmith shop until
Mr. Collar can make arrange
ments for rebuilding.
