For the third time in the history
of Skagway scents for transporta
tion companies have be?>n assaulted,
;?nd in two eases robberies have re
sulted while the victim* have been
beaten into insensibility Today tb?
city is rife with speculation regard
ing the identity of the jverson or p*!*
sons who have committed the das
tardly crimes While such persons
are at large no one in the communi
ty is safe, and there must be con
cert of action between the municipal,
and federil authorities to appre
hend the guilty one
One ve?r ago last night a iuu
was almost murdered, and again
last night another one received a
knockout Mow under very similar
circumstance* Who the next vic
tim will be time mill unfold uuless
the robber is caught In the pro
cess of investigation it may be nec
essary to question some of our
triends or most respected citizens,
if we are innocent we will welcome
the investigation and no stigma will
attach Owing to the liability of
anyone being near the scene of the
crime within a few moments of Its
commital. makes such a one in
directly a Part of the circumstances.
Skagwar is favorably situated for
the commission of a robbery with
good prospects of a get-away At
this time of the year thousands of
dollars are brought down by the
miners ! he express and rail
road offices are near the water front
and a well organised gang of thugs
might not find it difficult to raid
any of the offices at night and es
cape In the water route which leav?|
no trail
Not onlv should the preseut rob
ber be captured If such a thing Is
possible, but protection in the fu
ture to men who are entrusted with
money must be assured. It occurs
to us that the transportation com
panies, as a matter of protection to
their own Interests, could well af
ford to man. tain a police officer w ho
would co-operate with the city and
federal marshals in protecting the
public from a recurrence of such
crimes
The fact that Mr Wickershaa ha
promised to come down to Juneau
next March to "direct" legislation,
may be comfort to his followers, but
is an insult to the intelligent* of th?
men whom we shall elect to mem
bership in our first legislative
body Itouclas News
In connection with the above we
can say that Mr Wlckersham never
"promised" any such thing Mr.
Wickersham, owing to his experi
ence in congress for the past four
years has t;ece?aarUy learned much
of the machinery of legislation. In
his speeches throughout the dis
trict he has promised to be on hand
at the beginning of the new legis
lature to aid the members in adopt
ing rules of proceedure and in fa
cilitating a working organisation In
that capacity he will be of inesti
mable help to the new members,
very few of * hom mill have had any
legislative experience It is signi
ficant of th* policy of the "Non-Par
tisan" partv that they want nothing
to do with Wickersham

er, who fought Home when he had

BOILING GEYSERS.
What Cium th? gpauting of These
Natural Steam Engines.
Geyaera are found In only three
plaoea In the world, according to a pub
lication entitled "Geysers" Issued by
tbe department of the Interior. The**
three regions are Iceland, where gey
sers were first dlacovered; New Zea
land aud the Yellowstone Notional
park. In which these natural steam en
gines are more nuraeroua and of great
er beauty than In the two other urvua
mentioned In the Yellowstone the
getier* are found In deta iled geyser
basins, or fire hole*, an they were
called by tbe first explorers. :tnd the
grou|>s isissess Individual |?v -till iritle*
which give character and Interest to
each locality The most noted of these
basins la. however, that known as the
Upper Geyser liaalu of the Klrehole
river, one of the headwaters of the
great Missonri. The whole floor of tbe
valley la fairly riddled with springs of
boiling water, whose exquisite beauty
la lndmcrtbable. light clouds of
fleecy ?apor curl upward from waters
of the purest asure or tbe clearest em
erald and. encircling rims of white
marblellke silica, form fit setting for
auch great gems A large part of the
? valley floor la covered with the white
deposit of all lea known as siliceous
alnter. deposited by the overflowing
hot waters The weird whiteuess
of these areaa. the gaunt white
trunka of pine trees tilled by tbe hot
waters, tlft- myriad pools of steam
ing crystal and tbe white clouds float
lug off from the chimney like geyser
cones furui a scene uever to lie forgot
teu by thoHe fortuuste enough to be
bold It.
Tbe Intermittent sauting of geysers
waa long a riddle to ad.-itlflc men
The theory, which bears the mine of
the lllustrt<Mi* ? bemlst Hun-en l? w?.?
generally accepted This tbeori Is
based on the well known fact that the
boiling |iolnt of water rises with the
' pressure h lid Is therefore hither at the

THE DRUGGIST'
Thty Shoot, but Nsvsr Stoal,
Montenegrins pride themselves on
the possession of two groat virtues?
patriotism and honesty Their love of
country ha* been demonstrated In their
history, and tlielr honeslv is witnessed
to by their laws. One reumrkablt l?w
of the Black Mountain Kingdom di
rects that any man finding a purse or
Jewelry upon the rmid shall place the
tame upon the nearest stone, ao that
the loser will have only to retrace hla
steps to recover his property. That
law Is never violated A Montenegrin
thinks nothing of shooting a man with
whom he disagrees, but would shrink
In horror from the Idea of stealing the
veriest trifle. Montenegrin law Is more
severe upon the thief than the homi
cide.
Ancient and Modem Bathing.
Soap 1* really quite a new factor In
the world's life. Most ?f our ancestors
were filthy and dissembled tho fact by
the use of stifling perfumes. Washing
one' a hands, which was only done by
the very best people, meant dipping
the fingers tn rosewater and drying
them on a napkin. Even the Romans
of the decadence, who were probably
cleaner as a community than any lie
fore or ?liw+. bathed in water and rub
tied themselves with oil. It sounds
nasty to us. but then so does, for ex- j
ample. Chinese music, which millions ^
of human lielngs think delightful.
Homes Unde- the Ground.
In the salt district In Cheshire, Eng
land, the brine has l>ecn pumped so
continuously out of the earth that the
land has settled very considerably.
The bouse* naturally sink with the
earth, and In some of the streets In
Northwlch only the n?<fs are visible.
The houses are Inhabited, although the
rooms are underground In a great
many cases additional stories have
teen added, so that by living In the
upper rooms the residents may have
?ome light and air. The rt.adwaya
too, but are kept up to the pro|ier leve?
by the government.
