PHYSICIAN
TOOK MORPHINE
Dr. Pratt Who Was Well Known
on Alaska Coast Dies by His
Own Hand at lliamna.
Di\ H. E. Pratt, a well known phy
sician about forty-five years of age,
who has resided on the coast of Alaska
for several years committed suicide at
lliamna recently. The doctor had
been for sometime past interested in
mining property in the neighborhood
of Clark lake, and had spent consider
able money in trying to develop his
claims which did not pan out very
well. It is thought that lie had spent
most of the money which he and his
wife had, and had given up in despond-1
ency. It is also reported that he was j
a slave to morphine. He, with a com-j
pany of men, waited some days at Ili- |
amna for a boat, and one night he told i
the men that he had taken morphine |
and would not wake up next morning, ,
and if they tried to save him he would ■
jump overboard when he got on the (
boat. He did not die as soon as he
expected, but linally succeeded in shut
tling otT the mortal coil.
Mrs. Pratt was a passenger on the
Bertha, on her way to tlie states. She
is a plucky woman and says she ex
pects to return in the winter and go
into the interior to try to make her
own living, believing that there is
better opportunities in this country
than elsewhere.
From Government Trail
Herman Person, Henry Dohrmann,
F. Blau and Mike Savage, who have
been working on the government trail
under the direction of Anton Eide,
came in from their work yesterday.
The rest of the men will be through j
with the work and will arrive in town
in about ten days.
The Bertha Returns
The steamer Bertha returned from
her westward trip about 2:30 o’clock
yesterday afternoon, having been gone
from here only about two days.
Among the passengers who came from
the westward were Pierce Thomas, G. i
W. Stevens and E. F. Bell. The |
Bertha sailed about 4:30 in the after- j
noon for Seattle and way ports.

8y Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Canea, Crete, Oct. 8—A decree has
been issued by the authorities announ
cing the union of the island of Crete

Adds Grill Room to Palace
W. P. Henry, proprietor of the Pal
ace saloon and restaurant, has fitted up
a first-class grill room in connection
with his place of business. This room
is separated entirely from the barroom
by partition, and those entering and
leaving do so by a passage way that
is connected only with the restaurant.
The room is fitted up with tables suffi
cient to accommodate from sixteen to
twenty’ people at a time, and even
more if necessary, and is brilliantly
lighted.
Mr. Henry proposes to keep a place
for both ladies and gentlemen, and so
conduct it that all who wish may have
a quiet dining room where they can
invite their friends to dinner or lunch
eon and have an enjoyable time. Mr.
Henry furnishes first-class meals, and
will do every thing possible to contrib
ute to the satisfaction of his guests.
He will have this new dining hall open
and ready for serving dinner next
Sunday afternoon.

JAPAN READY
TO CELEBRATE
Nippon Government Will Welcome
Fleet But Removes Tempta
tion From Marines. «
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Tokio, Oct. 8—Elaborate prepara
tions are being perfected for the re
ception and entertainment of the offi
cers of the Americah battleships
which are expected to arrive here
soon. The morals of the fleet’s crews
are to be carefully safeguarded. The
presence of geisha girls and the use of
intoxicating liquors is to be barred in
the celebration to be held in honor of
the fleet.
Diamonds flay Explode
A curious fact about diamonds is that
it is not uncommon for the crystals
to explode as soon as they are brought
up from the mine. Sometimes they
have burst in the pockets or warm
hands of miners, due to the effects of
increased temperature. Large stones
are more likely to do this than small
ones. Valuable stones have been de
stroyed in this way.—Indianapolis
