There is everywhere in the air a feeling that desperate
means are to be employed to secure the election of Corson.
The employment of large forc?s on the railroads at Cordova
offers a temptation for illegal voting that it is believed will
be hard to resist by the sympathisers of Hoggatt if, in
deed, any attempt will be made to resist it. A few days
ago The Alaskan published a despatch setting forth allega
tions in this direction. The following is from the Juneau
'Dispatch Which seems confirmatory of the allegations pre
viously made. The Dispatch says:
"Responsible parties arriving here on
the steamer Portland last night from
Cordova bring word that Heney, the
Guggenheim contractor at Cordova,
has parsed out the word that ever; em
ploye, numbering close to fifteen hun
dred, must go to the polls on delegate
election day and cast their votes for the
Hoggatt candidate, John W. Corson.
Orders bave been issued, according to
reports, to close the railroad work If
necessarr and send the men to the polls
At Cordova men who are opposed to
this fraud have been told to be silent,
as Cordova is a one man town and that
man is the Guggenheims. It is claimed
that Deputy Marshal Dooley and Com
missioner Van Slyke are absolutely un
der the control of the Guggenheim peo
ple. and if thev interfere, sufficient
pressure will be exercised to have thorn
removed from office. Many prominent
people of Cordova knowing what is
going oo are appalled ac the nerve of
the English railroad contractor.
At Juneau the leading Ronan and
Wlclcersham manager* have been busy
all day wiring to head officials of the
third judicial district asking that steps
be taken to prosecute those at C.rdova
Implicated in the plot. An appeal has
also gone to Washington asking that
several northwestern special agents of
the department of justice be sent to
Cordova to gather evidence to later be
presented before the Valdez grand jury,
to secure Indictments The matter whl
not be allowed to rest aod if the present
orders are carried out, the mutter will
be presented to the president."
The methods already employed by the Hoggatt-Coraon
contingent give every reason to believe they will go to
any length whatever to secure their end. The purchase of
newspapers wherewith to publish fake and lying telegrams
telegrams manufactured in the office of the newspapers set
ting forth as fact that for which there is no founda
tion of truth ? for the purpose of fooling the people, the re
telling of old and exploded scandal distorted out of all but
the mere semblance of truth? men who will do these things
give warrant for belief that they will do ANYTHING to
secure their end. But while the publication of lies of this
character may be equally as bad from a moral standpoint as
voting illegally it is not punishable by law. The solcitita
tion of illegal votes as well as voting illegally in punishable
by law and the authorities of the government are awake to
the situation and will see to it. y

When the cro*d? of Fairbanks people
who were held up by the river in the
tprin^ began to arrive in that city the
Fairbanks Times took the story of their
experience of course. As a part of it
the Times says:
"Even in Skagway, however, they
were sorely tried to secure board and
room. The Skagway people, however,
opened their private houses, aod only
word* of kindness a-e heard for the
open hear ed hospitality ot the coast
citizen*, who, in many instance*, suf
fered as much in roveoiioce as their
guesU."
Gov. Uo?gatt admits that be haa
knocked every railroad on the southern
coast except the Guggenheims but in
srtsts that it is purely a matter of pat
riotism. ? Vatdez Prospector.

THE DREAM CHILD
Through all the lovely summer day,
Like busy honey-bees.
My little girls around me play
And swarm upon my knees;
But when the twilight hour Is o'r
And weary eyelid* meet;
Aloog the silent nursery floor
I hear your boyish feet,
My Child of Dreams! The son I never
bore!
And now while winking fireflies aid
The moon to light the skies;
While peacefully each little ma d
la night-long slumber lies,
Alive the empty play-room seems
With merry rolling drums,
And, laughing, down the moon's soft
beams
My tlnv warrior comes!
My Fairy Prince! My Darling Son of
Dreams!
Ob! Lonely momenta I shall Gnd
Who now am greatly blessed;
For youthful wings must try the wind;
The birds mu*t leave the nest.
But though my house of doll and toy
May long have been bereft,
At night your eager shouts of joy
Will prove my son is left!
My Dearest Child! My little Dream
land Boy!

PERFECT RECOVERY
IS DUE TO CUTICURA
"With the exception of his hands and
feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old)
was almost completely covered with
eczema. Physicians treated him for
nearly a year without helping him any.
While they were very kind ana did aU in
their power, yet nothing seemed to re
lieve him. And I had tried many rem
edies sent to mo by kind friends but they
all failed. His head, face, and neck were
covered with largo scabs which ho would
rub until they fell off. Then blood and
matter would run out and that would bo
worse. Many a time he looked as if
his ear$ would drop off. Friends com
ing to see him said that if he got weU ho
would be disfigured for life.
" When it seemed as if he could pos
sibly stand it no longer, I decided to
try Cuticura. I bought a cake of Cuti
cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. I
used them in the evening and that was
the first night for nearly a year that he
slept. This may sound exaggerated
to you, but in the morning there was a
great change for the better. In about
six weeks you could not have told that
ho had ever had anything wrong with him.
I treated him twice a day for six months
and at present he has a fine complexion
and not a scar on his body. This story
may seem overdrawn, but neither words
nor pen can describe Clyde's suffering
and now he looked. Our leading phy
sician, Dr. , recommends the Cuti
