Haines will piobably be placed in the
Skagway commissioner district and the
office abolished. There has been some
dissatisfaction among federal officials
over the half-hearted manner in which
whisky peddlers have been prosecuted
at Haines, '.there they would demand
h jury trial and be promptly acquitted
by sympathetic jurors. It is probable
that in the future the casts will go be
fore Skagway jurymen, who will not be
as sympathetic for business reasons.?
Juneau Diepatch.
The Dis-patch Is in error wheu it
states that prosecutions have been lax
by the commissioner. The fact is, in
most cases the evidence has not been
more than connecting. This is the rea
son more severe action has not taken
place. Besides, the "federal officials")
could do a whole lot more good if ihey
paid attention to larger crimes than
selling bocze to Indtar.s.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
be<>n able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catturrh. Hall's Cattarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting natnre in
doing its work. The proprittors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they off:r one hundred dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
