If we are to judge from the news
papers dad travelers from Nome, the
j>eople of that section, leavicg out of
account the politician*, have united on
Frank H. Waskey for the short and
Thomaa Cale for the lon^ te?m in con
gress. Neither the interior nor South
eastern Alaska knows anything about
Mr. Waskey further than that he is the
nominee of the Nome district. As to
his capabilities for serving' us in con
gress we know nothim;. Nor are we to
be informed. -Mr. Waskey isnotmak-|
in? a tour of the district that his |>os- J
sible constituents may get acquainted
with him. He is satisfied to take the
chance of a reciprocal treaty with Cale
?which of course cannot bind anybody.
Mr. Cale however is touring the terri-.
tory? taking his candidacy seriously, as
a? though he felt the honor worth work
ing for and the nomination to entail on
him an obligation to strive for success.
He is reported to be at Ketchikan, or
possibly at J uoenu today. He will be
here in a few days and we can all have
an opportunity to form an estimate up
on him.
In the same earnest spirit Governor
Swineford Is touring the jerritory and
doubtless impressing his personality
and the realisation of*the deeper mean
ing of the coming election upon all
It is pleasing to note that William
Rockefeller and Henry Rogers have
arrived at a consciousness of the rela
tionship of the Standard Oil Company to
the people of the United States. They
have resigned from the directorship of
the Mutual Life Insur nee Company,
because their presence there, they
knew, hurt the company in thejesteem
of tbe people. This is good? very goal.
These men are very Irich. They rep
resent capital without limit. The
Mutual Life is a financial institution
and all the people of the United States,
its patrons, expect of it, is that it re
main souud financially? so that it may
and will keep its obligations, and yet
these men, among the soundest finan
cially in the country, retire from the
directory of the company for the com"
pany's good. Tha people do not line
Standard ? >il methods and the Standaid
Oil men have the fact forced upon
their consciousness that money cannot
buy everything? that ;the thing deemed
most precious by all men, the respect
and confidence of their fellows is not on
the financial price list.cannotbe bought
with dollats. The spectacle of such
men being forced from positions of
trust by public sentiment is certainly
oue to give pause to all their kind.
Tbe Yukon Valley News gives & two
column diicription ol the effect upon
the town of Kampart, where it is pub
lished, of the receipt of the news of
the reappointment of Judge Wicker
sham. Fireworks were set off and the
people of the town turned out, formed
in procession carrying a banner in
scribed: "What's the Matter with
Wickersham'/ " He's all Right.'" It
would seem that the time has arrived
for the friends of Judge Wickershaiu
to make a demonstration. Up to date
the other side had had the floor.
The verdict of the jury in the case
wherein some Indians were found
guilty of conspiring with a white man
for the purchase of liquor and the
white man with whom they conspired
was not found guilty, will have the ef
fect of making the ugly and criminal
business more secure. The trade in
whisky will not be checked but the sen
tence of the Indians to the penitentiary
for the sin of "peaching" on the white
man will stand ao a warning to them.

KNOCKED OUJ
J Dry Fails to Agree in Con
spiracy Case
The jury in the case of the United
States against Thomas Dodson i nd
several Indians charged with conspiracy
to sell liquor to Indians found a verdict
of guilty in the case of the Indians but
could not agree in the case of the white
man. The case was the first of the kind
to be tried here and was an atTort on
the part of the government to bring I he
Indians who seek the purchase as well
as the white men who seek the sale of
liquor, together under the law for pun
ishment. There is no law directed
against the Indian for the purchase of
liquor but the sale to them of liquor
forms the basis of taost of the business
of the courts and ic which they are the
principal witnesses.
ln this case the defendant Indians
were witnesses against Dodson in a hear
ing at Haines in which they stated that
they had pooled their funds to the sum
of one dollar and engaged Dodson to
ma'?e the purchase. The trans
action was carried through under
such precaution* that there was no di
rect witness to the delivery of the
goods and the prosecution failed. But
the testimony of the witnesses in that
case was taken advantage of by the
prosecuting attorney to bring about an
indictment for conspiracy to commit a
crime and the Indian purchaser and the
white man selling were brought to
gether to answer before the court.
The novelty of the proceeding and the
bitterness of the contest provoked on
the part of the lawyers attracted to it
unusual interest. Mr. Marquam rep
resented the defendants while the pros
ecution was conduct by prosecuting
attorney Boyce and Mr. 13ainhill. The
evidenc of the Indians was conclusive ?
one of the party to the spree having
turned state's evidence and repeated the
story, told by all before the commis
sioner's court in the previous case.
Dodson, when placed on the stand,
accounted for his presence at the Indian
woman's cabin by offering another
reason than the liquor transaction:
While convicting the Indians the jury
could not all agree upon the latter'*,
p-uilt and the rather puzzling verdict
war* rendered accordingly.

troubled with a weakness of the tjack
and kidney for a number of years.
There was constant dull aching in the
loins and a numbness of the back, often
extending through the whole muscular
system as far upas the shoulders. Not
only did my back ach but thet-e was a
weakness from the kidney secretions
which was very annoying and disturbed
my rest. I heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills and used them. I found them to
be a great benefit. After the Grst few
doses I felt better. I know of others

good results."
