The appointment of Franklin K.
Lane, of Sao Francisco, to the inter
state commerce commission makes that
commission democratic. Mr. Lane suc
ceeds former Gov. Kifer. of Illinois, a
republican. Earlier in this season
President Roosevelt appointed former
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, a demo
drat, to succeed former Congressman
Yeomans, of Iowa, a republican, on the
commission. Of the other members,
Judson C.Clements, of Georgia, is a
democrat and Martin A. Knapp, of
New York, and Charles A. Prouty, of
Vermont, republicans. All this shows
how much more independent of part*
ties is President Roosevelt than has
been any other American president in
a very long time.
The statements given the associated
press of the republican campaign ex
penses in the last several campaigns
admit there is now more than $100,000
cash in the haod* of the national com
mittee. It is stated on other authority,
that is claimed to ">e good, that there is
a half million or more in the treasury
not working. If either of these state
ments is true would it cot be a good
plan for Mr. Certelyou to return that
money the life insurance presidents
stole from their policy holders to give
to him ?
The latest telegraphic dispatches on
the subject indicate that the conserva
tives have carried the new Canadian
province of Sascatchewan. They had
carried 12 of the 25 constituencies and
one of the liberal ministers was defeat
ed, JOther districts were to be re
ported. The liberals were confident of
r ctorv before the election.
For the fourth time the Chicago city
council has turned down the municipal
ownership p'ans of Mayor Dunne.

HOI SPRINGS
HealtbgiYins: Water in An
other Place
Hot springs exist in the Birch creek
diggings, back of Circle City, which
re declared to be among the finest min
eral hot springs ever discovered on the
continent. Several of the mushers on
the overland trail between Dawson and
Fairbanks have Deen calling at the
springs, and bathing and drinking the
waters.
The pigrims declare the water have
a great rejuvenating MJd curative vir
tue and are fully as good as the noted
hot springs of Green river, sixty miles
from Seattle.
Henry Isaacs and C. W. Adams, who
arrived last week from Fairbanks, made
a detour of twelve miles from the reg
ular trail to go to the hot springs. They
speak very highly of them.
FORMER SKAGIVAYANS
LOSE BY FIRE
According to the last Fairbanks
News to reach Skagway Mrs. S. Hal)
Young and her drughter, Mrs. F. EL,
Kleinschmidt, formerly Missj Aalska
Young, were the sufferers from the
I urnmg of the residence of Mrs. Kelin
schmidt at Teller City late in the sum
mer. The house caught on fire from
the explosion of a gasoline lamp. Mrs.
Young, who has since returned to Fair
backs, arriving thereon the last boat
from the lower river, was visiting her
daughter.
Speaking of the losses the Fairbanks
News says:
"Mrs. Young lost her fur cloak, trav
eling dress and some other clothing,
while her daughter lost nearly all her
cloihinj, her furniture, wedding gifts
and a large collection of Eskimo curios
and other ornameots. The worst loss
of all were five fine musical instru
ments, including a seventeenth century
Cremona violin, Mrs. Kleinschmidt be
ing a skilled player. She and her hus
band will spend the winter in Seattle."

It does seem that women have more
titan a fair share of the act.es and pains
that afflict- humanity: the most "keep

constant!}' aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, beating down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with rack n e pains and man; aches

to the honesty and worth of Ooan's
K dney Piil?, and have a r?.adydone so
to a Lumber of my friends and acquaint

them. I suffered from kidney comp'aint
for years, indicated by aching and dis
tress through the loins and frequent
attacks of headache, dizziness and an
annoying condition of the kidnev se
cretions. At times I was worse than
others, especially if I caught cold, when
I sutlered severely from backache. I
have been laid up on more than one
?ccsMon for weeks at a time on account
of it, and cou'a not get out of bed with
out assistance. . I was suffering acutely
some three months ago when I read
about Doan's Kidney Pills, and had my
husband call at a drug store for a box,
when I felt like a different person alto
sether. I have used lots of medicines
but never tried one that came up to

The debate at the Skagway public

relative strength of the United States
as a power among nations as compared
with that of Great Britain resulted in
a victory for those who contended for

"Resolved that the United States is a
more powerful nation than Great Brit
ain."
The debaters for the affirmative were
Miss Emma Boone assisted by John
Orohard. Those for the negative were
Chester Pullen, assisted by Miss Lulu
DeWitt. The de :iaion was for the affir
mative. The judges were Mrs. W, C.

After the debate a|carefully prepared
and consequently very good literary
and musical program was rendered.

and Miss Emma Boone was chosen for
the position.
