After many years' agitation the people of Alaska have been able to select their own delegate to congress.

It has been the cry of the people of this district for the last decade. Now that two delegates have been elected and will soon be on their first mission. It behooves the people to bestir themselves and present to their chosen representatives the desires of the people for needed amendments to the present laws. It Is gratifying, therefore, to see the lead taken by the miners of Dome creek to thresh the matter out and present their wishes In a forceful memorial to be presented to the Hon. Thomas Cale.

Now is the time for every creek to fall in line. Every man who has legitimate complaint should step forward and give tils views. The debate on many of these questions will, pur- haps, throw new light upon themr No man can honestly complain If, I when the opportunity Is given him, he does not take advantage of It. The Times will be pleased to announce the date and place of these meetings and It urges the miners of the district to begin the work of putting Into tangible form the many things they have so long asked for and which are now within reach. uet together with your representatives.

Speak rlgnt out In meeting those things you to say. Tell them to Mr. Cale for Mr. Cale wants to hear them. Just now Mr.

Now that Fairbanks Is to have a modern jail, it would appear evident to even the casual observer, that It la high time Fairbanks had also modern jail methods.

It is timely to suggest to Marshal Perry that the kennel he Is permitting ueorge urelbelbls to run. Is not a penal institution, but a place of detention and that those whose misfortune it is to abide there for time, forego none of their constitutional rights, not even that of untrammeled choice of counsel. They are still citizens, despite their plight, and despite Mr. orelbelblu. IS CUPID ILLITERATE? Statistics Show That Very Small Percentage of College Bred Girls Wed.

unlvesllty training for young women a stumbling block to matrimony? Statistics which show how few of the former "co-eds" of the University of Chicago have married during the last sixteen years are being used tci show that it la. Secretary Arthur E. Bestor, of the Alumni association of the university, bas just Issued a book of alumni statistics that has startled the college authorities. Ills book shows that of tbe 1.060 girls who have graduated from the university since Its re-establishment in 1893 only 171 have married. While the officials of the university explain that girls who have graduated from the classes during the last two years should be given time, yet they have no explanation to offer for the lack of Interest shown by the others.

The percentage of women grad uates who have married is about 16 The statistics of Secretary also show, that about 50 per cent, of the women who have graduated have taken up teaching. Students at the university who have studied the statistics compiled by Secretary Bestor declare that seg- gregatlon and too severe regulations governing visiting in the dormitories have had much to do with sending tbe girl graduates away from the university free hearted. They declare that tbe university had placed such restrictions on college courting that the-younger girl students go elsewhere to college. They cite the large number of engagements at Northwestern' university as proof of this clstm. SMTT.1v Smile every day and every hour.

Aug. lone highwayman, who held up five stages and a private carriage full or passengers in Yosemlte valley Saturday afternoon, has not yet been captured. The sheriffs of two counties are on the hunt for the daring bandit and nit bo they first suspected a man living near Qrub Gulch, they now declare thr.t he Is not the stage robber and no arrest has as yet been made. Sheriffs Prouty and Jones, of Mar- Iposa and Mnderln counties, followed the robber's tracks for several miles toward Grub Gulch, a small stage station, but there the country became so rocky and almost Impassable and all traces of the trail were lost. The bandit's camp was found, where he cooked his meals and where he burned his disguises after the robbery.

The officers found $50 the robber overlooked In the express box which he rifled and that tourists had thrown Into the brush. The first authentic Information was received last night In Fresno when J. P. Tlbbett of Riverside, who with his wife and Mlxs Amy Michael- backer, had come out of the valley was seen and Interviewed. The robbery occurred six miles from the stopping place nt Ahwanee.

At that place the road nrund the sld of the hill and comes to a suddci point, At this point the robber step ped out and ordered W. A.

Th women screamed, but the robber cm phaslzed the order and all quickly RO out of the stage and lined up In th road, their hands above their heads. H. W. Elliott from Hermltes wa ordered to take the express box from the stage. While he was waiting fo the other stage to come up the robbe shot the lock off the Wells-Fargo ex press box and took Its contents.

Th bandit slopped the other singes In th same manner, lining the passengers up and keeping them covered wit his gun. Girl Appointed Assistant. When the passengers, forty-five 1 number, were In a row, the bandit with a show of gaiety, selected young, pretty girl as flrst ass Is tan and told her she was appointed co lector. She hesitated a moment and the went to work. The girl did not come up to the robber's requirements and he told her she was a poor highwayman, and.

ordering her to get Into line, appointed man to take her place, requiring him to search the passengers. An Englishwoman and daughter were In the party and when the robber approached her she drop- Raising a Girl the Wrong Way. An Atchlson girl of fifteen gets up In the morning, eats breakfast which her mother has prepared; goes upstairs and takes care of her room and then goes downtown, sometimes taking two hours to buy a spool of thread. She eats dinner which her mother has prepared, wears clothes her mother has made, spends the afternoon reading story books or gadding with her friends, eats supper her mother has prepared, and spends the evening with her girl friends, has done nothing wicked all day, and her mother la satisfied that she Is bringing her up right. But is she? Useful and Ornamental.

A colored clergyman In Georgia was performing the service of baptism recently when he paused In the midst of the service to Inquire the name of the infant. With a pleased smile the proud mother replied. "We Is goln' to called the chili Shady." "Shady!" repeated the minister. "Oh. I see.

It's a boy and bis name Is to be Shadrach." "No, Hah, It ain't no boy. It's glvl." "Why give such a name to girl?" "It's dls way, sah. Our name's Bower, an' man husband thought be a fine thing to call her Shady. 'Shady Bower' sounds kinder pretty." SMALLEST DOG IN THE WORLD.

On his flrst flight he traveled eleven miles, most of the way feet above ground, but when nearly In the heart of the city his power gave out and, after dodging steeples and smokestacks, he finally came down, uninjured, on the roof of flat building.

There he repaired his machine and continued his journey, a distance of five miles further, without mishap. Then, he went a third time out over the lake a considerable distance and returned. On Decapitation. Half a dozen physicians were talking of death. Isn't a subject usually chosen by physicians for discussion, but these were dlnctis-slng It.

However, It was not altogether physical death. They were Including the hereafter. "Well," said one. "I don't know whether there Is to be a hereafter or not, and It doesn't trouble me very much, because I'll take chances on It If I can make the life I live before It the kind of life man ought to live. But there Is one thing about It that makes me hope there will be another life, and that Is tho opportunity I shall have of asking some of the poo- pie who have had their heads cut off If there was any sensation for few minutes succeeding decapitation.

I believe now there Is, and that life remains long enough for the decapitated person to realize that he has lost his head, or, rather, that he has lost his body, because the head la the center of thought and, of course. It Is the body that Is lost, not the head. At least, that Is the way man with his head cut off would be bound to think of It. I fancy there Is no pain, because that would require some time, and If life exists at nil after decapitation It would not be long enough to realize the sensation of pain. It must be a very queer sort of'feeling, and, as I say, 1 hope there Is a life hereafter, so I may have a chance to find out few facts not otherwise obtainable." FISH LIVE OUT OF WATER.
