the Regular Repuolican nomination
provided that the delegate can prove
conclusively that Shackelford has no
strings on him, and strongly intim
ated that if the Shackelford-Wicker
iharn combination consumated their
purpose at Seward he, Rustgard,
would run for Delegate on an inde
pendent ticket.
At Douglas, M. J. O’Conner, who
has always been strongly anti-"Wick
ersham, but formerly a lieutenant of
Shackelford when the latter was lead
er of the Republican machine, is now
working with Rustgard to defeat the
nomination of Wickersham. Other
prominent Republicans of Douglas,
however, who were formerly anti
Wickersham, are now working with
Shackelford, and are pledged to se
cure the nomination of the delegate
if possible, this condition of affairs
being brought about by the opposi
tion to O’Connor.
Tbe contest both in Jnneau and
Doyglas is a bitter one, workers for
both factions are busy getting the
voters together, and an unusually
I heavy vote is being polled in both
cities.lt is extreme../ difficult to fore
cast the result, as both factions are
displaying unexpected strength, and
it is believed the result will be ex
tremely close.
Divorce Suits Filed.
Two suits were filed in the district
court this week, both from McCarthy
and both consisting of an action for
divorce. The causes are entitled:
Theresa Flynn vs. F. R. Flynn and

TALISMAN OF THE CELTS.
ftomanoe of the Ua Fail, a Curious
Piece of Stone.
Id every strongly Irish newspaper
either In America or in Ireland, there
is the oft repeated threat: "Wait until
we recover the l.la Fall. Tlieii ire
land will liei-ouie a republic." And the
readers have asked again and again
"What Is the Ida Fall? Where is it.
and what is its magic power?" Those
who remember the Fenian fiasco
some years ago. will recall the but
tleery of the troops. "Ilo. for the
Ida Fall!” The recovery of this Celtic
talisman, however, would involve
something more than a victory ovei
some outlying province of Great Brit
aln. for it is a part of the coronation
chair In Westminster Abbey. It Is a
curious piece of stone, a little more
than two feet long, and is said to he
tlie identical stone on which Jacob
rested his head when he had his mar
velous dream, it was taken to Ire
land, according to tradition, before the
Christian era. and its removal from
that island meant the death of liberty
and independence to the Celt.
After a century of possession It was
conveyed to tile Ionian islands, to be
used in a coronation ceremony, and
was never recovered. The kings of
Scotland seized and held it as their
mascot. By Edward 1. It was carried
to Condon among the spoils of war
when the Scottish kingdom began to
totter. The son of Edward attempted
to restore the stone to the Scotch, but
already it bad taken snob hold on the
superstition of the English that they
feared for their country, and n mob
prevented Its restoration.—Exchange.
COLORS OF METEORS.
• 4
Three Stages Through Which They
Pass to Reach the Earth.
An article l»,v Alfred Wegener in the
Scientific American offers an esplana
tion of the marked difference of color
observed in meteors. IJp to an nlti
tude of about forty-five miles the prill
clpal constituent of the earth's atmos
phere is nitrogen. A second stratum
of the atmosphere, extending up to
about 12o miles, consists mainly of by
drogon. Slid higher. Wegener himself
lias sought to prove the existence of a
stratum consisting of an excessively
light gas which he calls "geocoronl
1111!”
When entering the atmosphere iroui
outer space meteors do not become
luminous In the very tenuous “geocoro
ilium sphere.” hut only when they en
ter the "hydrogen sphere," and most of
them are dissipated before reaching
the nitrogen atmosphere. The largest
fireballs, however, penetrate dee|)er
and may reach the earth or explode
not far above it.
lir. Wegener finds that the meteors
that penetrate deep enough pass
through three color stages—viz. yeilow
white, green and deep red. The great
majority exhibit only the first stage.
In which the color (white, yellow,
sometimes reddlshi is that of the in
candescent meteor itself. The green
stage Wegener believes to he due to
the incandescence of the hydrogen
through which the meteor is passing,
while the deep red stage is due to the
incandescence of nitrogen Id the lower
atmosphere.
Thrill of Being Wet.
There is something rudimentary and
ftimln mental about having water
splashed down upon one and getting
completely and deliciously wet—not
damp, not moist, hut wet, wringing
wet. You yourself when a child never
enjoyed anything so much as your iirst
drenching in au unforeseen and un
avoidable rainstorm—the thrill of be
ing wet. I he cool drive of the water on
your nose. Into your sleeves and down
your neck, and the Joyous slush of
soaked. water logged hoots. Even the
tedium of being rubbed with alcohol,
bundled up and wanted you would
catch your deatb did nut diminish the
event. You voted it better titan the
time yon fell off the boat dock: it Inst
ed longer.—Atlantic.
Criticism Implied.
“Be doesn't like my cooking.” sobbed
the three mouths bride, a tear on her
long lushes. “1 Just know be doesn’t
So there!”
"What makes you think so?” her
mother asked. "Bus he said he doesn’t
Hke your cooking?”
“No-lio-o.” stammered the bride.
“Nonsense, child. It’s Just your lm
agination. I Tell there was no basis”- .
“There is a IhisIs." the bride Insisted
tearfully. “I Imd been cooking the
loveliest tilings for him for about two
weeks, and tlicu ho told me he had de
cided to liecotue a raw food faddist
Bo-hoo-o-oo!’’—,1 udge.
Dr. Johnson’* Homeliness.
Bamud Johnson was himself—and
this la a ipiality rarely found In “plain4
men-under no inoaiou as to his per
small appearance. Dr Burney tells us
that on one occasion while Miss Bur
uey was examining bis portrait h<
peeped over her shoulder and. witb u
ludicrous half laugh, exclaimed: "Ah
(in. Bnui Johnson: I see thee—and an
ugly dog tlion art!"— Loudon Times
Fore* of Habit.
“The idea of that upstart talking
hack as be did to ii society favorite
Ami they do say he was one time oulj
u butler.'
“Maybe that Is why he was so ipilck
to answer the belle.”—Baltimore Amer
lean.
All Alike.
The following entry appears In the
“visitors' binl;" of a hotel In tJerinany
“The living here Is good, plain uudaub
siantial. Be is the waitress."
If yon s'wy up nights you can't keep
up daytime*.—Judge.
HOUNDED TO RECEIVERSHIP
SWEARS SHIP LINE CHIEF
NEW YORK: The Southern Pa
;iflc Railway Company so dominated
-.teamship traffic in 1909, and “so
hounded” the Philadelphia and Gulf
Line, organized to handle freight be
Lween Gulf ports and the Atlantic
seaboard, that he latter was unable
to buy or charter vessels, and went
into receivership. Such was the tes
timony offered before the interstate
Commerce Commissioner Mayer in
the hearing on the Southern Pacific’s
application to continue control of the
Morgan Line of steamships under the
Panama Canal Act. Frederick Groves,
the Philadelphia and Gulf Lines’
president, was the witness.
SEWARD MAN LOSES
BARGE IN STORM
That Seward has been experienc
ing considerable wind during the
past few days is indicated by the re
port in a Seward paper that a barge
was torn loose and carried down the
bay with Elmer Ayres aboard. A
boat was sent after it to rescue the
occupant. The barge was driven
ashore at Tonsina creek, some dis
tance down the bay.
