A o*blegram from Seattle yesterday
to the Disj/atch of this city shows that
so-called protest against Governor
Hoggati's representing Alaska at the
ceremony of breaking ground for the
Alaska- Yukon Paciflc Exposition build
ings was a fake.
The Skagway Alaskan was the first
to tane the bait.
The dispatch was as follows:
"Seattle. Juae 4? The Seattle Star
was the only paper. In Seafcje printing
the story under a A^^pbanks djte line
that Alaskan irM Is were protesting
against Hoggat: representing the Alas
kan peoplp at the fair groum. waking.
The fair management today l .nied any
protests bad oeen received from any
papers in Alaska."? Juneau Record
Miner.
No one ever said that a protest had
been filed against the selection of Got.
Hoggait for the duties aforesaid with
the fair directors, cor has the Dally
Alaskan taken any bait. The Dally
Alaskan, the Juneau Dispatch and the
Ketchikan Miner published dispatches
from Fairbanks saying that the Fair
banks Daily pipers had published edi
torials of protest againt the selection
and that the Nome, Valdez and Seward
papers had followed suit. The dis
patches also said that the people of the
various communities protested against
It. The Daily Alaskan, commenting
upon these protests? which do claimed
bad been formal!; filed? agreed that the
?election was an unhappy one, because
Got. Hoggatt bad never truly repre
sented Alaska an; place, but, on the
Contrary, bad never missed an oppor
tunity to misrepresent the district.
However, the Daily Record- Miner
hai said that there has been no protest,
and that Gov. Hoggatt is popu'ar at
home and abroad. Its readers at June
au, who do not read the other papers of
the district, probably will believe the
statements to be true, and they will go
on In their blind way, getting more and
sore out of touch with tru* conditions,
simply because the Record-Miner is an
"organ" rather thaj a newspaper.
A telegraphic dispatch says Roger
Sull van, of Chicago, Thomas Ryan, of
New York, and a few others, have
fixed it all up, ana that the presidential
candidate will be Gov. Folk, of Mis
souri. That] is a good joke. Gov.
Fo k'? boom, if one is launched, <rill
have to start from some other source.
The ilissourian is too wise to be ought
with the brat-d of po ltical chaff these
men cary in stock.
Henry M. Hoyt, formerly United
8tates district attorney at Nome, has
been appointed assistant United States
district attorney for the Western Wash
ington district. The appointment was
made- by P. C. Sullivao, the district at
torney, formerly a Nome lawyer, him
self.
A Harvard man says President
Rooeevelt said to him a few days ago:
"One year acd 11 months from now I
expect to be an active member of the
Harvard organization." This is taken
to mean that the president will be a
member of the faculty, if not president
of the old university.
D1 Jt Croker, former leader of Tam
many, has anotLer victory to his credit.
Hi* horse, Orby, won the English derby
the other day. It is the third time in
history when an American horse won
this famous race . Croker says he is
coming back to the United States.
Hafry Lane, Democrat, was re-electtfd
mayor of Portland, Oregon, ? week ago
by about 1,000 majority. He won out
after a very excitisg election. The
Republicans elected all the remainder
of their ticket except one or two city
councilmen.
At a conference of 150 leading law
yers, business men, farmers and poli
ticians of Witcunsin last week, it was
decided to inaugurate a presidential
boom for Senator La Follette.

WICKfRSIIAN
AGAIN UPHELD
The oourt of appeals at San Francis
co has affirmed the decision of Judge
Wlckerobam Id Che oase of Nelson and
Hensley aga'.nst Meehan and Larsen.
This Is one of the oases which furnished
Senator Nelson with much of the am
munition whloh he fired at Judge
Wlckersham when he was trying to
prevent the confirmation by the senate
of the renomlnatlon. The decision of
thegcourt of appea's will close this
source of supply to Senator Nelson at
the next session.
the oaso brielly follows: Meehan
and Larsen owned a claim on Fair
banks oreek in which they offered a
half interest to Nelson and Heniley,(the
latter was formerly a Skagway carpen
ter) it tbey would dig three boles to
bed rock. Tr.ey dug the holes in tbe
winter time and tbey fi led with snow.
Meehan and Larsen refused to deed the
half interest to Nelson and Hensley
and the latter brought suit. On their
testimony that they had dug the holes
to bed rock Judge Wiokersham guve
them judgment. This oase was appsa!
ed and affirmed, but' afterwards Mee
han and Larsen dug holes on either
side of the holes dug by Nelson and
Hensley and tunneled under those dug
by tbe latter, demonstrating the falsity
of their claim that they har? to bed
rock. Suit was brought t<y have the
former judgment set after having
taken other steps to demonstrate the
untruth of the testimony on which tbe
drst judgment was rendered. Judge
WiSkershpor found tbe plaintiff.
Nelst *d Hensley appealed and
have now AsiTtheir case in the upper
court.
it is said the plaintiff, N?.lson, is a
distant relative of Senator Nelson.
ROOSEVELT URNS
AGAINST JAPANESE
Washington, June 7? Despite the
known sympathy of President Rco3evelt
for the Japanese, it can be stated on
good authority that both the pre- lent
and the members of bis cabine* are
beginning to manifest a flange c< dis
position on the question. This is tfna
to the persistent efforts lately tnm'e by
Japanese to magnify petty cases of
alleged di crimination Into offenses
serious enough to demand attention
from the government.
DAYS GE DIZZINESS
Com* to Hundreds ot' Aluika People
There are days of dizziness;
Spells of headache, sideache. back
ache;
Sometimes rheumatic pains;
Often urinary disorders.
All tell you plainly the kidneys are
sick.
Iran's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
Mr*. John Cose, residing at 230
Commercial St., Astoria, Oregon, says:
"About a year ago, we moved here
fiom Portland and as I had a great deal
to do, I overdid myself and the result
was I brought on kidney trouble. My
back began to ache and as time rolled
on, it kept getting worse instead of
better. It finally grew so bad that 1
could scarcely Btoop or straighten up
after stooping, When I did any work
requiring bending, 1 could hardly get
p and I bad headache*, dizzy spells
and at times everything before me
looked blurred. I was just about to
start to the store for a plaster to put on
my back, when I read about Doau's
Kidney Pills and as they were so high
ly recommended far kidney troubles, I
made up my mind to try them and pro
cured a box. They went right to the
root of the disease and helped me from
the start and before I hud finished the
box, I was cured. Everything is
changed with me now feud I have no
symptoms of kidney trouble whatever."'

: Two Sides of a Stock
i jobbing Operation
lOrlgliml.)
One afternoon a geutlemnn left bis
otllie uenr the New York Stock lis
change, stepped Into a cnb and directed
the cabman to drive to bis home up
town. Having started, be pulled dowu
the curtains, took a revolver from his
pocket and placed the muzzle against
his teuiple.
Albert Mesereau had follow/ a a con
tinued "bulling" of the N. . . and P.
railway and had thereby h en ruined.
The published statement? of the road
showed that their earui, gs would en
able them to pay a 10 jter cent aunual
dlvldeud On tbelr common stock,
though they paid uothKig. Tliey were
spending tbelr pruflfa on the better
inent of the road. Mesereau bad kept
"long" on the jjfcfck with a view tn
begin tyr^lvp the surplus earnings to
tbojrtockliolders. But year after year
packed with no change In the tiumclal
'policy of tnp'coiupauy. Mesereau'* mar
gins were Anally absorbed, and on the
nfter-ioon mentioned a slump In the
market had placed him heavily In debt.
As be was about to puIKThe (rigger
the face of his wife came up before
his mental vlslou--a face"Hhat bud al
ways been cheery, helping hlni t<> bear
his contlnuetl dlsapiiolutment, bis per
petunl sinking to ruin. Now It was In
espresslbly sad. His brain, tempora
rily unbalanced, righted itself, and he
resolved to live for the sake tf the
woman who loved him and wbcni be
lovefl.
Nevertheless that night some of bis
clothes were found on the deck of a
Hudson river ferryboat, and Mfcsereau
bad disappeared.
Meanwhile there were rumor* Jn'ttoe
street that N. Y. and l'. railway com
mon stock was shortly to lie put on a
dividend basis; but, since these rumors
had lieen rife for several years, ijo one
paid any attention to them. Tlu? stock
fluctuated as usual and. though rather
high for a nondlvldend paving stock,
was considerably below par.
Une day a director or tue roau enueu
his valet into lils private room al home
and said to him:
"Deliuis. some one has been opening
my letters."
' "I ho|te ye don't mane to necrose me
o'.doln' slch a thin;:, sir." replied the
man.
"1 do. and I'm going to hand you
over to the officers of the lav on a
charge of theft."
"I steal, sir!"
"It Is to my interest to shut jou up '
for a week. If you will consent to be j
made a prisoner in my house under
lock and key for that time. I will make
no charge. Otherwise 1 will put you
behind liars perhaps for years."'
"I am innoceut of auythlng tj;e law
will punish In that way."
"The law Is money. I. having uopey.
am the law. Which do you choose, a
voluntary Imprisonment for n w?ek v
to go to Jail';" ? t ,xf
The gentleman stepped to tlW tele
phone uud took down the ivoelvcr.
"Don't call the police. Voti niflv shut
me up here."
"Very well. Follow uie." '
He led the way to a back roots; In an
upper story. There were two win
dows, but they were small and near
the ceiling Tlie valet enterei'. and
his master, locking the door, toik the
key.
Several ilajs later a ma1 J in I tie hall
made sufficient noise with her pickets
and brooms for the prisoner to hear
her.
"Kate," be called, "Is that yotil"
"Good gracious! Where do the voice
be coinln' from''"
"Come here, Kate- to the door. I'm
Dennis. 1 want to speak with you.
Don't make a fuss."
The girl approached the door, and
Dennis whispered to her through the
keyhole. Then she went away.
Mrs. Mesereau, lylntf awaku ? she
slept but little since her husband's dis
appearance ? thought she heard the
telephone bell ringing ou the floor be
low. She listened and heard It again,
this time surely. Getting out of bed
and pulling on a wrapper. sh? went
down and answered the call.
"Is that you, sweetheart?"
"Great heavens, It's Bert's voice!"
"I must be quick. Go to Bunker's
office lu the morning. Tell hli.n I'm
alive; have been In the service of
a director of the N. Y. and I'. rat I -J
road. At the stockholders' meeting
In a few days a 7 per cent dividend
will lie declared. First make contract
for half his protits, then give the In
formation. Goodby."
The next morning the supposed wid
ow was In the office of her husband's
former broker, was closeted with him
and when she emerged had a written
contract signed by hi'm that he should
form a syndicate to buy KiO.OOO shares
of N. Y. and P. common stock to be
held at least sixty days, half the prof
its (ou condition the Information prov-.
ed correct and the stock advanced) to
go to Albert Mesereau. Within two
hours the syndicate had been forme\t.
and during the afternoon and the nsxt
morning 100,000 shares had been pick
ed up without raising its quotations
two points. Two days later th? di
rectors met and put the stock on a 7
per cent dividend basis.
Albert Mesereau, alias Denuis
O'ltourke, having been let out of his
prison room by the maid and coached
his wife by telephone, lest his flight
might change the plans of the X. Y.
and 1*. Railway company, returned to
It and was only released from It a
few hours after the announcement of
the dividend. The next morning he ap
peared again lu Wall street Mean
