YOU BETTER WATCH OUT
A newspaper publisher has recently
brought suit against forty-live men who
would not pay their subscriptions, ob
taining judgment in each claim. Of
those, twenty-eight made affidavit that
they owned no more than the law allow
ed, thus preventing attachment. Then
under the decision of the supreme court
they wre arrested for petit larceny
and Mund over for the sum of $300
each. AH but six gave bond, while six
went to jail. The new postal la.v makes
it larceny to take a paper and refuse to
pay for it.? Calhoun Record.
The Juneau Transcript is as illus
tration of the effects of environment
and again of the possibility of break
In# away from such effects. Its own
ers graduated into proprietorship from
the Douglas Island News and in the
early issues of their own paper at',
temped to reproduce the Douglas Island
News in style if not in appearance. The
Douglas Island News covers the whole
territory in entertaining paragraphs
does this as no other paper in Alaska
does There was no room for another
of the same kind, especially in the
same 6eld. The Transcript had wou
some fame as a spicy, peculiar paper
and the change w?s radical and the ex
cellent workmanship displayed under
the new regime did not reconcile its
readers to its attempt to counterfeit
the Douglas News. The new propri
etor* have evidently se?n this error for
they have worked another radical
cha.ige in the last few numbers and are
cutting out a path of their own. The
Transcript is become a first class, read
able weekly newspaper as well as being
pleasing to the eye.

Transcript,
The two Juneau dallies are maintal*
ins their perennial scrap juit now,
drawing invidious comparisons regard
ing the quality and drawing the deadly
parallel by way of Illustration as to the
more or less recency of their news.
The Transcript of that citv suggests
that they draw a cork and call It a
draw.

territory? which, by the way, Is about
to be granted a full territorial form of
government? says ho is surprised at the
Ignorance displayed by the people of
the east with regard to Alaska and
would have this district bccome an in
dependent state. Gosh! this sounds
like treason.
Everybody should got in and rustlo
now to make of the Fourth of July cele

ious fourth, affording a big time for
everybody, especially visitors.
Douglas and Treadwell are prepar

Rests after flight:

From copse and croft;
The south winds stir
In boughs aloft;
Before we part
Love's blissful rito

The readers of this papor will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been ?ble to cure In all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fra'ernlty. Catarrh being
h 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, nnd giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature In do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.
