''The Takue" is the name adopted by the Douglas High school for it's school annual.
 H. K. Tuel has been appointed U. S. Deputy Marshal at Nenana to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation ot Deputy Marshal George Berg.
 The steamer Prince John, which went ashore in Wrangell Narrows re. gently, backed off and went on to Pc. tersburg under her own steam, anC later sailed for Vancouver.
 At a recent meeting of the Arctic Brotherhood in Juneau plans were practically completed for a grand Al. aska Purchase Exposition to be held in that city this summer.
 The citizens of Nenana are plan ming to give minstrel and vaudeville show for the benefit of James F. Dethlefson, the town night watchman, who recently lost all of his fingers and one thumb as the result of freezing while engaged in fighting a fire.
 The recent snowslide in Sheep creek basin, near Juneau, is said to have been the largest yer to have oc- cured there. The slide was 1900 feet wide and carried evrything bfore it including trees fully fifty years old. The wind from the slide blew cabins in it's vicinity several hundred feet and scattred them over the hillside.
 The II. s. commissioner al Ophir recently found himself in a peculiar predictament. One c. l.. Baker of that place, was recently found guilty of trespass and fined SIS. He refused to pay his fine and demanded to DC sent to jail. There was no jail at Ophir and his term would have ex- pired before he could be taken to the nearest one. To pay his board in Ophir would have been expensive, so the commissioner had to suspend sen tence.

gestive of ball game than of starting
the Christmas shopping early.
Altho the New York Nationals and
the Chicago Americans We're to meet
here for the fifth game of the world s
series this afternoon, the line in front
of the ticket window at Comiskey park
did not start to form until 4 o'clock
this morning. Three hundred fans
were shivering in the line at daybreak.
A vender of camp stools beat a re-
treat about this time as everybody was
too cold to sit down In several places
there were little camp fires and
brisk business in hot coffee and steam
ing frankfurters was done. The wealth
er man promised clear skies and a
slightly warmer air by afternoon.
Prices Drop.
Although the series stands two and
two, and the utmost Importance is
attached to today's conflict, scalpers
tickets were way below the prices de-
manded for the first two games a
week ago. Box seats were obtainable
at SIS, and reserved seats in the grand
stand at sic. This was in part due
to the increased supply of pasteboards
from patrons who, having seen the
first two games disposed of the third
coupon of their Chicago tickets.
There was no indication of changes
in the lineup of players of either team
from that made familiar in the first
four games
Chicago enthusiasts made ready for
the game in spirits far different from
the confidence which followed the
winning of the first two games by the
White Stockings. At that time they
considered the series as good as won
but when New York BANKED the team
for eighteen consecutive innings on the
Polo Ground that feeling disappeared
kneedeep in oblivion and was replaced
by mere hope. The feeling was that
the break of the game would decide
the series. Only one game will be
played in Chicago this trip. The sixth
game will be played in New York and
the seventh, if there is one in which
ever of the cities the toss of a coin de-
termjneS.
Playing on the home grounds was
of course counted on by Chicagoans as
factor in their favor Each team
has won its victories at home
Two thousand persons were in line
when the sale of tickets began at 10
/ o'clock.
The national commission announc-
ed TINS morning that the toss of the
coin to decide where the seventh
game is to be played, provided one
is necessary, would be made in the
office of President Comiskey Just be-
fore the game here today
President Harry Hampstead of the
New Yorks, came on with his players
to witness the fifth game of the series.
President Hampstead was unable for
business reasons to witness the first
two games played in Chicago.

WIPED OUT GERMANS
Terrible Slaughter in Flanders Battle
ELECTS Praise of General.

Copenhagen, Oct. 13.-An unnistak-
able intimation of great losses sustain
ed by the Germans in their attempts to
stem the British attacks is contained
in the latest comment of Lieut.. Cen
eral Won Ardenne, military critic of
the Tageblatt, of Berlin, on the Elan
ders campaign. He refers to the Ger
man losses at Mars-La-Tour and GraV-
elotte in the Franco Prussian war.
averaging five-sixths of the officers
and one-third of the men of the guard
and Brandenburg regiments engaged,
as classic examples in German mill
tary history of extraordinary casual
ties suffered without affecting the
morale of the troops.
The general then says these losses
often are far exceeded in the present
war and that in the third Flanders
battle they have been so. great as to
induce the military authorities to
abandon the usual rule of not refer
ring to them, feeling that the sacri-
fices of Prince Rupprecht's troops
have been such as to entitle them 20
extraordinary thanks of the Father
land.
General Ardenne pays a grudging
and belated tribute to the achieve
ments of the British tanks, which, ac-
cording to his verdict, though quick
victims to the German field artillery,
under good visibility are able to de-
liver a most effective enfilading fire
from their machine guns whenever
they are able to approach the infantry
lines under cover of a. curtain of
smoke or gas waves and are not to be
taken lightly.

Ohio Mayors To Take Drastic

Will Prevent Much Suffering

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 13.-Mayors

seize coal to prevent suffering which

in temperature and the falling of
snow in many towns came indications
that such a drastic course on the
part of the other mayors is imminent.
a number of mayors today called
state officials by telephone to ask #
it would be legal for them to confis-
cate coal from railroads. They were
told no. Demands for coal poured
in on the governor, public utilities COM
mission and the state coal clearing
house, all telling a story of suffering
and dire need.
Ohio state university officials re-
ported that unless coal can be OBJ
tanned for the university by late this
afternoon that institution prObab bly,
will be closed. In a number of small
communities light plants have been
closed for several days because of
lack of coal.

That the Renker Hotel company

While the Renker Hotel company
has not secured a charter from the
state board, r. NJ. Mcconnell, Renker's
secretary. stated today that an appli-
cation would be made for incorpora-
ton of the company with a capitaliza-
ton of S650,000. A former charter
application by the company was re-
turned for modification and amend
ment when presented to the state
board.
Plans for thoroly modern and fire
proof hotel at the southeast corner of
Tenth and Kansas avenue were out
lined in a statement which Mcconnell
made today. Renker, it was stated, is
not in the city.
