LOCAL HAPPENINGS
Went South.—Ed. C. Russell, of the
Juneau Dispatch, was a south bound
passenger on the Jefferson last Sunday.
He has gone to Seattle with a view
to bettering, if possible, the telegraph
ic news service of his paper.
Dr. Zubr, Dentist, Frye-Brnhn big.
Coal Shed.—The Ketchikan Power
Co., has built a new coal shed on an
extension to its lumber wharf, in ex
pectation of the arrival of a consign
ment of coal for use in connection
with its steam heating plant.
On Deck Again.—Charley Guzman,
chief of J. R. Heckman & C’o’s gro
cery department who was tied up at
home by illness for over a week, is
again in his old accustomed place,
much to the satisfaction and pleasure
of his many friends.
Blown Off.—The high wind which
prevailed last Saturday unroofed the
coal shed belonging to the Ketchikan
Wharf Company, but did no other
damage so far as learned except the
scare it gave Newtg Casperson by
punching a hole in the south ena ol
his carbonating works.
Watch your watch, and if it doesn't
keep good time take it to Taylor, the
Jeweler.
Broke His Collar Bone.—James
Short fell off the Newtown sidewalk,
near Turner’s store, last Saturday
night, and sustained a fractured col
lar bone. He was assisted to the side
walk by Chief of Police Detlefsen,
who took him to Dr. Wilson’s office,
where the broken bone was set by
Dr's. Wilson and Story.
Still Here.—Louis Levy, the fur
buyer, is still here, or was when last
heard from, gathering pelts from
first hands. This may not be exactly
correct when it appears in print—
Louis is hard to keep track of to the
single day or hour—but if he has gone
he'll come again,as soon as anothei
crop of pelts is ripe for the gather
ing.
But you can do better at Taylor's,
the Jeweler,
Coming Back.—The old time fa
! miliar and popular steamship Topeka
; is coming back to these waters, after
1 an absence of nearly two years. She
I has been on the route between San
i Francisco and Eureka, but will change
1 places with the Ramona, taking what
: would have been the latter's next
southeastern Alaska run. She will
1 be welcomed back by all the old
: timers, from here to Sitka.
Over.—The coal famine is prac
tically at an end. It was practically
relieved at first by the fifty tons or
more raised from under the Ketchikan
Wharf Co’s wharf by Victor Vigelius:
then the Amur, which passed up Mon
day night put off about fifty tons,
with the promise of more, on her
way down, while the expected arrival
of the Henriette put an end to all
further apprehensions concerning the
supply.
Dr. Zuber,'Dentist, Frye-Bruhnblg.
Laid Up.—H. Z. Burkhart, who re
turned ten days or more ago from a
visit to Seattle, Spokane and other
coast cities , has lteen confined to his
room most of the time since by a seri
ous illness which, in fact, he brought
home with him. It had its beginning
withasevereca.se of lagrippe, whil j
! he was sojourning in Spokane, which
was followed by neuralgia, and a pain
ful affection of the ear. His friends
will be pleased to learn, however, that
he is again out and giving personal
attention to the large business of
which he is the head and front.
Will Sell.—As will be seen by
advertisement in another column, Mr.
E. K. Turner is desirous of selling his
business and property on the new
town sidewalk. He is doing a good
business, which he has built up by
close attention, and his only reason
for offering to sell is that the pro
tracted illness necessitates a change of
climate. Mr. Turner is one of Ket
chikan's very best citizens, and his
friends regret very much the
j conditions that necessitate his re
moval, even though it may be only
temporary.
His Brother.—Not a few of the
older citizens of Ketchikan will re
member one Richard Mansfield
White, an eccentric individual of de
cided English aflictations who on
several occasions made protracted
stays here, ostensibly looking for min
ing properties in which to in
vest, and who invariably, winter or
summer, took a morning “bawth"
in the cold waters of Tongass
Narrows. He has the further dis
tinction of being a brother of Stanford
White for the killing of whom
Harry Thaw is now on trial in New
York City.
Might Have been Worse.—As Mrs.
Chas. H. Cosgrove was returning
from a social gathering of ladies at
, the home of her next door neighbor,
Mrs. W. A. Patterson, about eleven
o'clock last Saturday night,she walked
off the sidewalk and fell a distance of
seven feet, upon the rocks below. She
was considerably shaken up, and at
first it was feared might be danger
ously injured; but fortunately no bones
were broken, and she is now practic
ally as well as ever. It was a very
dark night, and the lady thought she
would have no difficulty in safely mak
ing her way the short distance she
had to go, on a walk with which she
considered herself perfectly familiar.
REDMEN, ATTENTION!
All members of Thlinket Tribe No.
4 Imp. O. R. M. are requested to
, meet at the hall at 2 p. m. Feb. 22nd
; for the purpose of properly observing
the birthday of George Washington
—a duty which every citizen, and
especially every Redman, should
be glad to perform. A. A. Cornell,

I IT IS TO LAUGH |
WHO?
Who, when our honeymoon was o’er,
'Arrived with packages galore,
And said she’d stay a month or more?
(Think real hard.)
Who made me weary of my life,
Who loved to stir connubial strife,
And always sided with my wife?
(Don’t give it up.)
Who confiscated my latch-key,
Sat up till the sma' hours for me;
Who made me use a big, big D?
(Rhymes with “jaw,” yes.)
Who loved to catch me when I “fell,"
And such sweet stories used to tell,
Until my life became a —well
(The word isn’t nice.)
Who dressed my wife in clothes so gay,
And ran up bills for me to pay,
And minded nothing I did say?
(Yes, that’s it. )
Who sniffed my “baccy” from afar,
And could not bear a mild cigar,
Who said: “What wretches all men
are?”
(Heaven bless her!)
—Boston Transcript.
THE OLD SILVER DOLLAR.
How dear to our hearts is the old sil
ver dollar, when some kind subscriber
presents it to view—the liberty head
without necktie or collar, and all the
strange things that to us seem so new ;
the wide spreading eagle, the arrows
below it, the stars and the words with
the strange things they tell. The coin
of my fathers! We're glad that we
know it, for some time or other ’twill
come in right well—the spread eagle
dollar, the star spangled dollar, the
old silver dollar, we a 11 Jove so well.
—Masonic Journal.
KNOWS THE FEELINGS OF SAUL.
When J. Pierpont Morgan sailed to
Naples, a stop was made atPonta Del
gada in the Azores, and thence a de
putation came to call upon him.
The talk during the reception
turned to music, and a lady asked Mr.
Morgan if he had ever heard the Gre
gorian music that is sung in the Sis
tine Chapel in Rome.
“I have,” said Mr. Morgan.
“And how do you like it,” the lady
asked. '‘Those chants, you know, are
said to be sung to the tunes which
were used in David's time.”
Mr. Morgan smiled. “I could never
understand .till now,” he said, why
“Saul threw his javalin at David.”
—Philadelphia Record.
ALL RED.
A West Philadelphia youth was be
ing tought the festive American game
of poker the other night, and after the
relative values of pairs, threes, flushes
and straights had been explained to
him, play was started. After half an
hour or so he surprised the others in
the game by asking: “What is it
when all the cards are the same col
or?” “A flush,” was the reply.
“Then I’ll bet $fi,” and suiting the
action to the words, he threw that
amount into the pot. The others,
frightened by the play, “wisely” laid
down their two pairs and threes,
which were held against the novice,
and he scooped in the pot, laying face
up on the table three hearts and two
diamonds. Dismay and further explan
ations from his instructors naturally
fol lowed. —Ph i 1 adelph i a Record.
A NEW USE FOR BATHTUBS
Mr. Sulzer of New York, represents
in the House of Representatives what
is probably the most congested dis
trict on the east side. Mr. Sulzer has
of course, like every other member, a
quota of garden seeds, but as there isn't
a garden or anything remotely re
sembling a garden in the district, the
amiable Sulzer has been accustomed
to trade his seeds for public docu
ments.
Last spring, however, he began to
think that some of his people who live
in tenements might plant the seeds in
boxes on the window sills and fire es
capes, so he sent an assortment to the
inmates of a model tenement lately
built by a friend of the congressman.
Some time later Mr. Sulzer, while
in New York, was met by the propri
etor of the tenement, who immediate
ly buttonholed the representative, to
whom he unbosomed himself as fol
lows:
“See here, Sulzer, I want you to cut
out that seed business. It’s the
limit!”
“Why what’s the matter?” asked
the astonished Sulzer, and he explain
ed why he had sent the seeds.
“Oh, you ment well, all right,” re
turned the friend, scornfully, “but
when I visited the place the other day
I found that about ten families were
raising cabbage, cucumbers and toma
toes in the bath tubs!”—Rochester
Post-Express.

Miss Elizabeth Magie, the pretty
and talented Chicago girl who recent
ly jumped into distinction by offering
herself for sale, said the other day in
an address before a girls’ club:
“I advise all of you to be new wo
men I urge you to pay no heed to the
gibes about new women that are con
tinually being uttered by men. It isn't
the fine type of man who jibes at
tHe new woman. You know the story
of the man in the county jail.
“ ‘What brought you here, my poor
fellow?’ a missionary asked.
" ‘I married a new woman,, sir,’
the prisoner groaned.
“ ‘Aha,’ said the missionary, ‘and
she tva& so domineering and extrava
it drove you to desperate

Joseph H. Choate said at a lawyers’
dinner:
“We lawyers couldn't do better than
resolve on the new year to be gentler
in our cross examinations. Rudeness
in cross examination never, never
pays. This is a truth that I once saw
[woven in a damage suit.
“In this suit a cross examining law
yer shouted at a witness in overalls:
“ ‘You there in the overalls, how
much are you paid for telling un
truths?’
“ ‘Less than you are,’ the witness
retorted, ‘or you'd be in overalls
too. ’ ' ’
James R. Garfield, who is to be the
new secretary of the interior, was
praising labor saving devices.
“Labor saving devices always make
for prosperity,” Mr. Garfield said.
“The accusations brought against
them are rarely logical. On the con
trary, these accusations have, as a
rule, as little logic in them as had the
c airn of the tattered tramp.
“This tramp, appealing to a kind
old farmer for help, whined :
“ ‘Wunst I was in a fair way ter be
come a millionaire, but one of these
here labor savin’ devices knocked me
out. ’
“ ‘How so, my poor fellow?’ the far
mer asked.
“ ‘I wuz doin’ fine,’ the tramp ex
plained, ‘holding down a bartender’s
job in a saloon, when the boss put in
a cash register.’ ”
A FABLE.
There was once an Apostle of Peace
who did Business with a Big Stick.
He had a Friend who was Yellow All
Over except when it came to Cases
in a Scrap. Then he Exhibited the
Hue of Unchained Lightning—like
wise its Habits. Certain Offspring
of the Peace Doctor, who Dwelt by
the Western Pond, made Faces at
the Children of the Yellow Peril,
saying, “Back to your Lemon Grove:
You can’t Come to Our School.” This
Behavior inflicted a Jolt upon the
Spirit of International Courtesy.
The Ochre-Colored Gentleman began
to say Polite Words between his
Teeth, in the Manner of one Medit
ating on Trouble. “Fret not,” said
the Peace-Sharp, “For lo, I will Fix
those Kids of Mine just like a Mice.”
Seizing his Big Stick he made Passes
until his Yellow Friend was wholly
Hypnotized. Then he Rang in a
Stuffed Club, and therewith hit the
Recalcitrant Brats a Loud Swat.
Conceiving themselves to have been
Soaked with the Big Stick, these
straightway emitted a Dolorous Yelp.
“What he did to Them was a
Plenty,” murmured the Yellow One,
and withdrew highly Satisfied. Then,
turning to the Swatted Urchins, the
Apostle of Peace exhibited to them the
Stuffed Club, with a Jocular Shriek.
And they, Recognized that it was
a Fake Bump wherwith they were
Bumped, dried their Tears and were
Comforted. Moral—Substitution may
be Contrary to the Pure Food Law,
but it’s a Husky Stunt in World Dip
lomacy. Sub-moral—You Never can
Tell about Teddy.—Ridgway.
Gone to Tacoma.—The little tug
Marian, which was recently the sub
ject of litigation at Juneau, arrived
here last Monday from that place,
after an eight day run through un
usually temptestuous waters. She
was in command of Capt. Sloan, the
“ancient mariner” of these waters,
who is taking her back to her original
owners at Tacoma, the litigation in
stituted by them having been com
promised.
