A VOICE FROM THE ANTIPODES
Premier Doakin.of the Commonwealth
of Australia, sp?aking at a banquet
during the meeting of the colonial
premiers at Loudon, recently, said that
the time has come when the British
Colonies must be free to act as the;
please He indicated a desire for com
plete independence for Australia, with
au Anglo-Saxon alliance. He said that
the colonies have problems to solve
which do not i-oncern England and that
man; of the English problems do not
concern the colonies.
Particularly displeased was Mr.
Dentin withtheallianca between Great
Britain and Japan. He also complained
of the German occupation of the New
Hebrides. He intimated that there is
a natural rivalry between the Anglo
Saxon people and the Japanese that
will result in war. and he hinted at
armed cocrtict with Germany on ac
count of Oriental matters.
Altogether, this voice from the anti
podes is one that has set the minds of
Occidental statesmen athinklng and
their tongues awaggiogover topics that
before now they wot not of.
Jobn Sparks, Democratic governor
of Nevada, and O. R. Morgan, editor of
the Reno Gazette, the leading Repub
lican newspaper, had two or three nst
fight* one day last week. The battling
began in a saloon where it was stopped.
Afterward the governor followed the
editor to the latter's office and renewed
the contest there. Tne Repuo'.icans
editor has been saying things about
ihe Democratic governor that
the latter did not like. Whether the
combatant* had irrigated their courage
at the saloon or not is not stated in
the dispatches.
It is said the retirement of D. M.
Deimaj from the Thaw case wts Dot
because of a desire of the Thaws to
dispense with his services. He wrote
a letter shortly after the termination
of the trial, it is said, to Harry Thaw
and the other members of the family
saving that he would not appear
in the case further under any circum
stances, as he believed it beneath the
dignity of a lawyer to be compelled to
comport himself and conduct the case
In accordance with the caprices and
whims of young Thaw.
The radical nature of the war the
French government has been making
on the church institutions of its
country may be gleaned from the fact
that dozens of priests have been forced
to change their avocation in order to
earn a living. Some are working at
meniai labor on public works, one has
become a concert singer, another is a
street car conductor, others are farm
laborers, several have become news
paper reporters and editor*.
Late dispatches say the steamship
Dakota has gone to pieces and it 20
more. The ship and cargo have been
valued at $3,500,000. The ship was
insured for $-,600,000 The cargo was
insured for nearly its entire value.
The movement of the city council to
clean up the town and keep It clean
merits the approval of every right
thinking citizen. It will probably
receive it.
The physiognomy of Bill Squires, the
Australian pug, h?s taken the placa of
the Thaws and Delmas and Jerome in
the columns of the newipaper*. Gen.
Kuroki's turn will come next.
Seward is legging for the nar*l
station it is proposed to establish tin
Alaskan waters. It has not been
suggested at Juneau that the 'West,
ward town should have any assistance.
The lack of street lights last night
will remind the people that they are in
this self-denial for the sake of economy.

ALASKA HAS 200
MILLS Of RAILWAY

railways ia Alaska Is less than 200, but.
little more thin that of Porto Rioo,

ONE Wh SPOT
Mo*t Aluki People Have a Weak
Part And Too Often It'* The Bach
Everyone has a weak spot.
Too often it's a bad back.
Twinges follow every sudden twist.
Dull aching keeps up, day and night
Tells you the kidneys need help ?
For backache is really kidney-ache.
A kidney cure Is what you need.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys
Cure backache and all urinary ills.
Mrs. J. W. Painter, of 310 East ~th
St., Portland. Oregon, says: "I have
Dot los^ any of my faith In Doan's Kid
ney Rills since I publicly "recommended
the remedy ia February 1903. A6 I
stated at that time, a severe spell of
sickness early in my life left me with
weak kidneys and as time went on, I
suffered more and more with spells of
backache. The pain through the kid
neys was torture and often I could not
find a comfortable position to lie 1u.
When able to be up and around, I was
troubled with headaches and dizziness
and could not steop or lift anything. I
doctore.l and used various treatments,
but nothing seemed to help me any un
til I began using Doan's Kidney Pills.
The use of this remedy was very satis
factory. It gave me such relief that I
cannot hesitate to recommend it and
will put in a good word for Dom's Kid
ney Pills whenever I find an oppor
tunity."
