THE ONE REASON
In commenting upon the proposed
Alaska-Yukon-Seattle fair of 1907 the
Whitehorse Star says:
"Seattle is a good wide open town
and a man can probably get action on
his money there as quickly its any place
on earth, but just why an Aiaska-\u
kon fair should be held there instead of
in Alaska is 'beyond our ken.' "
There is on'y one reason why such a
fair as that proposed could not be held
in Alaska or Yukon territory. Neither
of them nor both of them combined
have sufficient population to give it the
necessary support. As to whether the
advantages'resulting from such a fair
held outside of the country would be
worth the money and effort it Ire
quired to conduct it| is another matter,
aud one which each man must decide for
himself before he becomes a stock
holder. It is believed by the pro
moters that the proceeds from admis
sions and concessions would be more
than sufficient to make the exposition
self-sustaining. If so whatever adver
tising the north couotrv could get from
the institution would be a gain of that
much. In the meantime the matter is;
being invetigated by competent men
and it Is not costing the people of Alas
or the Yukon one red cent.
Eastern democrats are discounting
the re-election of Mayor McClellan, of
New York, and they have nominated
him for president to succeed President
Roosevelt. Those easterners will do
well not to take thiogs for granted. It
is a 'ong way from the New \ork city
hall to the White House and Joe Folk's
popularity lies directly between them.
There are alio other obstacles in the
way of the great Taoimany'inot the
teast of ttlilcli ai* surGfal million re
publicans.
Pres:dent Roosevelt has met his so
cilled unpopularity in the South face to
face and he has hypnotized it as he has
every other opposition that ever con
fronted him. The receDtion that is
being accorded him by the sons of
Dixie is the equal in enthusiasm with
that he ever has reieivid iu the west.
The Sitka Cablegram has beea devot
ing a great daal of excellent newspaper
ability in urging the people of Sitka
"to wake up." The Sitka Alaskan con
tentedly retorts that "there is actually
nothing about which to keep her eyes
open.''
The decrease in thi Dawson gold out
put for the year is not so great as it
was believed it would be. The Klon
dike is still the greatest producer
amoug northern mining districts.

MRS. JELIFFE ;
t
[Original.]
Bert Preston and Florence Ilolt met
when he was tweiity-threo and she \v;n
eighteen. Had not Bert gone west to
seek his fortune they would undoubt
edly have made a match. As it was.
neither knew of the predisposition of
the other. In time Bert fell under the
Influence of a widow, a tflrs. JelifTo.
considerably older than he, and mar
ried her. Marriage is said to be a lot
tery, but It is rather a matter of com
mon sense. There was certainly no
common sense in the Freston-.lellffe
union. Mrs. Jeliffe was a shrew, aud
there was no knowledge to be derived
from any one as to the taking olf of
her first husband; not that any sus
picion attached to his widow, but there
was a mystery concerning his death.
She led rreston a miserable life for a
few years, tUen to liis great relief sud
denly disappeared.
It was five years after l'reston went
west and two years after his marriage
that he made a visit ti> his old h JUie In
the east Florence Ilolt had heard of
Us matrimonial venture and, sine*
there had always been a place for him
In her own heart, felt a deep sympathy
for him. She had not married and
tliere seemed to be no one whom she
wished to marry. Then when It was
too late she aud rreston learned that
tl:cy should have been plighted to each
other before he went west. Ho and
Florence would have been happy to
getlier.
Wlieu Preston wont back west he
carried with hint the assurance that if
at any time he learned of his wife's
death Florence would marry him. They
c. -/responded daily anil, with t lie ex
ception of being together, were as hap
py as possible. Then a paper came
to Preston from a southern city with
a marked death notice? that of Mrs.
Aathony JeliflV. That same evening
found Preston ou the train bound cast.
1L' wrote the newspaper containing
tl:.? notice for Information, but could
get none. After a long period of in
quiry as to the late Mrs. Preston
Jell lie and a failure to learn why the
notice had not read l'reston instead of
Jeliffe, Bert and Florence concluded to
consider the woman dead and marry.
When this time Preston returned to
hi* western home be to I. wi;'i him the
\\ Jinan he should have taken in the
ti: ;t place. They ma 'e eaeli other
very happy, and several children
sprang up a'.-out tl:.T.-. Ttv': ue'/Ii
bors all said that if marriage is a fail
uro there was one exec;. (ion to the
rule ? the case of the I're-Hou l : ; ? i i I v .
One evening when l'reston was sit
ti: < on the front porch, with h:s chil
dren climbing over him, Mrs. l'reston
sittiug by sewing, there was a click at
the gate. Mrs. Preston looked up to
see a strange woman coming in. while
Preston was paralyzed with the sight
of the late Mrs. Jeliffe- Preston.
?Bertie," said the intruder, "I've
come back. Aren't you glad to see
me?"
When Florence glanced at her hus
band, or, rather, the man she had sup
posed was her husband, she knew by
the despair on his face that the dead
wife had come to life. Mrs. Jellffe,
as she must be called to distinguish
her, came up to the porcli, took a seat
and fanned herself.
"Bert," said Florence.* "tliere Is noth
ing for us to do, for the children s
sake if not our own, but to stand by
each other." Then, turuing to the in
truder, she continued: "This man may
be your husband in the sight of an
Imperfect law, but he is mine in the
sight of a perfect God. (!o."
There was something so impressive
in the speaking of the words that Mrs.
Jeliffe was for the moment vanquished.
She arose and departed, but before go
ing out the gate she turned aud tired
one shot. "We'll see about that."
Mrs. Jeliffe settled herself down in
the town, intending to get rid of her
rival, not by legal process, but by per
secution. She would have failed to
make any great Impression had It not
been for the man. Florence overawed
her by a superiority In every respect.
It was the terrible effect the intruder
had upon Prestou that destroyed the
family happiness. The woman had
only to remain in the place where the
Preston family lived to make a wreck
of Preston. Such situations at times
Induce murder, and Florence watched
Preston night and day that under the
terrible temptation he should not make
the matter a thousand times worse by
crime, but the strain was too great
even for a woman of superior
strength, and Florence at last broke
down.
One morning while nt breakfast
Preston took up his newspaper, and
his eye lit on the following:
Matilda Jellfte was last night arrested,
at the instigation of her husband. An
thony Jeliffe. *-i a charge of bigamy. It
Is charged that Mrs. Jtllff^ deserted her
husband and married Mr. Adelbert Pres
ton of this city. Her husband (Jeliffe) by
threat of exposure induced her to return
to him. and In order to conceal herself
she sent a printed notice uf her death to
Mr. Preston. Recently the Jeliffe couplo
agreed that Mrs. Jeliffe should return to
Mr. Preston, presumably to levy black
mall. If any was obtained. JelllTe got
none of It: henco the split between the
Jeliffes. When rogues fall out honest
men get their dues.
Florence, who was pouring out cof
fee, was astonished to see her hus
band Jump up from his clinir anil,
darting aronnd to where she sat, throw
Us arms about her. Then he embraced
each of the children. Florence was
terror stricken. "At last," she thought,
"his mind has given way under this
terrible strain." But Preston, taking
up tlie paper, read the announcement
showing that the mother of his chil
dren was his only, his legal wife.
Mrs. Jeliffe was convicted and Is
now serving a term in state prison.
