ACTING WISELY
The action of the city council in de
ciding to get a new pumping: oontract
from the railroad company and to in
crease the water supply for the muni
cipal system wac wise ? howbelt, a trifle
late in the day. While it woulC. have
been more in keeping with good busi
neu methods had the railroad company
been approached while tbii water gup
ply question was in the foreground, it
is not at all likely that it will take ad
vantage of the circumstances and insist
upt-o terms lees advantageous to the
city than It would have been willing to
make last month. The railroad com
pany's attitude all the way through in
this water question has been that of an
interested taxpayer seeking to get the
best there Is in the situation for the
eity, and there is no reason to believe
there will be a change in that attitude
now. Yet, the sooner the matter i*
taken up the better it will be for a'l
concerned.
ACCOUNTS FOR PROVINCIALISM
??No man in Alaska understands or
keeps better posted regarding condit
ions in all parts of the territory than
does the governor," sivs the Juneau
Record- Miner. And that recalls that
the Juneau newspapers ?re failing in
ths first office of the press ? the publi
cation of the news. The people of
Juneau are told so much that is not true
that It would be very strange if pro
Tincialistn and dry rot were not Intro
duced in the popuiat:on. If the Record
Miner bu made any S'>rt of an attempt
to follow ibe aff irs of Alaska It knows
th<t Guv. Huggatt Is comp:etel> out of
touch with Al.skan conditions. His
annual rt-po t and a ) his spreches and
interviews disclose au ignorance and
cariesuness of real oonditions that is
amain g.
Recen ly Heury Waiters n urged
the oomi uation of a Western dark hors j
for the presidency by the Democrats |
without disc oeing his name. The
Seattle Poet-Iat*lligenoer submits a
list of probabilities and mentions Sen
ator Patterson, of Colorado, among
then forgetting that the constitution
requires the presi en: to be a native
bora citizen. Senator Pat.erson is a
native of Ireland.

The !ut Success -Magazine contains
? story by Jack London based upon the
murder of Fred. "fl. Clavsoci, Linn Relfe
aid Lineman Oieson on Cnristmas day
1889. The story is written from the
standpoint of the murderer, O'Brien
(Morgaoson in the story), whom the
author would have it was driven to hl?
crime by hunger and a more or less
worthy bitterness toward fate because
it bad refused to deal fortune to him.
He hid eaten all bis grub wben intro
duced into t le story and spent his last
money? except less than a half-dollar,
which he afterwards give* fur a drink
of whisKy. London portrays the mis
ery of O'Brien's life when awaiting in
the concealed hiding place which,
covered a period of several weeks.
The story in the magazine is termin
ated with the slaughter of the threr
men, and the account of the shooting
with the indications disclosed bv the
investigation. The author has his mur
derer die on the trail after committing
hii blood-thirsty deed, instead of at the
end of a rope after having been con
victed of murder In the Brat degree by
a jury.

10 COUNT
SkagwnY Will Have Census
Tttfeeu Again
| Tbe census of Skagway will be taken
again at tbe expense of the retail liquor
dealers to ascertain tbe amount of tbe
license fee to be oharged this year
against those who conduct saloons in
the city. The count will be made by
Chief of Police Bart.
The oouncil took this action upon
the request of tbe saloon mm. Tbe
census has beet' taken each year since
1902.
The law provides that the license fee
for selling liquor shall be 9500 per year
to cities haviog less than 1,000 lnhabi>
tants; $1,000 for towns having a popu
lation exceeding 1,000 and under 15G0,
and #1500 a year where the population
exceeds 1500.
Juaeau is having the census taken.
The saloon men there think there Is a
chance of getting tbe license down to
91,000. The school btfard will crntest
the effort, as it has done in the past. It
will appoint a census taker to check up
the work of the man appointed by tbe
council.

Mrs Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 \Y.
Fourth St., Oijmpia. Wash .sjys: "I
hare no idea bow much suffering I
would bare avoided had I known the
value of Down's Kidney Pills sooner.
For three years 1 have suffered, doctor
ed and treated for a dropsical condition
of the body 'without ever knowing the
true source of the trouble to be in the
kidneys, until, about two months ago,
when I was induoed to try Doan's Kid
ney Pills. 1 had swelling of the feet
and limbs: my hands would puff up,
get tense and I could hardly close th-m.
Tne other symptoms were 'ost sight of
in the more noticeale ones. Af^er pro
curing lJoan's Kidney Pills, I found
prompt relief from the start. The
swelling and bloating' were reduced
until they entirely disappeared and a
toning up and strengthening of my
??hole system was felt. The other day
I climbed up a steep bill without a
pause or a flutter of the heart. I was
not 6 weeks ago that I tried the s 'tne

I A Striking Likeness. |
'.Original.]
Bayard Young, a young gentleman |
of prepossessing appearance and fash
ionable attire, swinging a light cane,
entered the Union station as a train
rolled In. He was expecting u friend
who did uot come. But some oue else
came, who proceeded to disarrange the
precision of Mr. Young's neckwear and
otherwise rufUe his equanimity. A
young lady, plainly but neatly dressed,
descended from a car, and. her glance
lighting on the gentleman lu question,
she rushed toward liim. threw her arm's
about his ueck and covered his face
with kisses.
Now, while young men are not usual
ly averse to being kissed, they don't
like to be taken by surprise. Mr.
Young made an etfort to disengage
himself from the embrace, at least so
far as to get a look at the kisser. This
surprised the girl, and she, too, drew
away. Then a color rose to her cheek,
and, covering her ftiee with both hands,
she tamed and ran away as fast as she
could. The flrst thing Mr. Young did
after her departure wus to rearrange
his disordered neckwear. Then he
missed a scarfpin with a handsome |
pearl set In it that had beeu there be
fore the sudden attack. Hushing after I
the girl, he caught her just as she was |
leaving the station.
"I'll trouble you for my scarfpin,"
he said.
She looked up. marks of distress and
confusiou still 011 her face. "I mis
took you for my brother," she said.
"My scarfpin. (live it to me at once
or I will call a policeman."
The girl's mauuer changed in a twin
kling. Her eyes Mashed ominously.
"How dare you, sir!"
"I'm used to such games," he re- |
torted.
"You certainly must be. Such peo- j
pie being your associates, you would |
not be expected to know a true lady
when you see one."
At that moment Young saw his pin
hauging head down from a bit of lin
gerie under the lady's throat. He
snatched It away from her Hud put it
In his scarf. She appeured to be very
much astonished, too much astonished
in fact to speak. When she did she
said:
"It must have got caught In the lace |
when I"?
'?nugged .lie."
She stamped her foot and Hashed at j
him like a tigress. Then, obeying a
sudden thought, she opened her pocket
book and, taking out a card, handed It |
to him. When he had read It the as
tonishment was transferred from the ]
girl to htm.
"Are you Ralph Roswell's sister?''
"I am."
"He was my chum at college."
"I am retyr much surprised to hear ]
it. I supposed that he never associ
ated with y iung men who were lutl
imite with women who 'plaj; games.' "
Young looked uncomfortable. His I
hand went up to his hat, and be un- |
covcred deferentially.
"I suppose I owe you an apology," he |
said.
"Xo apology will be accepted."
"The circumstances were deceiving
You must admit that 1 had apparent j
cause for"?
"Mistaking me for a thief?"
"I? the fact is"? He took out his'
handkerchief aud wiped the perspira
tion from bis forehead. "Is there auy
atonement I can make?"
"None whatever. Oue who rui* Lakes
U I.IUJ "I ?' Willi
denoe women I believe Jhev are called
?commits an unpardouable slu."
Witli this she turned contemptuously
and strode away. Youuir followed her.
"Leave me at once or 1 will call a p->
Ucemau."
"1 Would rather go to Jail than part
in tills way."
"That would be no hardship. You
would be with your acknowledged as
sociates."
Young concluded to make a masked
attack in tlank.
"Ralph and 1 look so much alike that
In college they called us the twins."
"There's not the slightest resem
blance."
"How, then, did you come to mis
take me for him?"
"I? he? was to meet me."
"By Jove, there comes Ralph now,
hurrying along to reach the station be
fore the train arrives! How the deuce
are we to explain being together wbeu
he knows I've never been Introduced
to you? uever have seen you?"
The girl winced.
"Leave him to me. Hello, old boy!
What's the matter with your watch?"
Brother and sister kissed, the sister
with restraint.
"How did you two know each oth
er?" asked the brother.
"Know each other?" replied Bayard.
"Why, you see It was the likeness."
"What likeness?"
In prevarication a woman can al
ways give points to a man. The girl
came In to save the day. "Why, your
friend couldn't help seeing the family
resemblance between you and me."
"You're as like as twins," Young put
In. "Tour sister looked so crestfallen
I couldn't help taking care of her."
^I'm glad you were good to her."
"I shall never forget It," said tho
girl, with a vindictive llnsh In her eye.
"Please moaned Young. Then,
remembering himself, "I mean please
don't." -
"What's the matter with you two?'
asked the brother. "You look and act
as If you'd been caught stealing."
This unlucky hit came near bringing
out the denouement, but the girl start
ed on, and the denouement was de
layed till a year later, when It was
told at the wedding breakfast of Bay
ard Young and the girl he had mis
taken for a thief.
