Clondyke Crowded With Dis
appointed Gold Hunters.
STARVATION1 IN STORE FOR MANY
Not a Single Location Within ISO
Miles of Doa City ltemaloa
to Be Had.
San Fbancisco, Aug. 6. Spsaking of
the Clondyke output of gold, the chief
clerk of the mint said :
''All the gold brought to this city from
the Alaskan mines will not exceed $800,
000, and all that has been taken ont this
3 ear and sent to the other mints of the
country will not exceed $2,000,000. The
gold from that part of the country is
generally from 700 to 800 fine and some
of it rates 900, the average being worth
from $15.55 to $17 an ounce."
J. C. Butler, of the Pullman Car Co.,
is in receipt of a letter from R. P. Tay
lor, a financial broker of Seattle. A
few days ago Taylor received word from
some men whom he sent to the Clondyke
region last spring, in which they inform
him that every claim within 150 miles
of Dawson City has been taken up, and
that men are rushing all over the coun
try looking for locations. He eaya that
starvation and hardship stares many of
them in the face.
Captain Niebaum, of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, who has made a care
ful study of the situation, fears there
will be a great deal of suffering in the
mining regions this spring. He thinks
the people going are far in excess of the
supplies that have been forwarded.
A letter from Hart Humber, a pros
pector, dated Dawson City, June 18th,
just received, shows that the gold seeker
needs plenty of capital. After reaching
Dawson and paying the heavy duty on
bis outfit, besides 30 cents a pound for
getting it over Chilkoot pass, he will
have to pay 25 cents a pound to get bis
stuff from Dawson to the diggings.
The rush to the Clondyke gold fields
is affecting the mineowners of the
mother lode in the vicinity of Sonora,
Jackson and Sutter Creek, and if it con
tinues will cause the closing down of the
mines in Calaveras, Amador and Tuo
lumne counties, or their operation with
depleted forces.
In the past week 200 men have left
Amador county alone for the gold fields
in the north and' others are preparing to
follow. Some of them were hired by
-mineowners in Alaska, but many of
them went on their own resources. The
other counties .have also sent expert
miners in large numbers.
An Expedition from Brooklyn.
New York, Aug. 6. A half dozen am
bitious Brooklynites are organizing an
expedition to Alaska to search for some
of the Clondyke Tgold. David P. Wat
sons, of Brooklyn, clerk of the Repub
lican general committee, is making up a
party, of which he will be one, and
which will leave early in February to
seek fortunes in the gold fields of the
north.
Tacoma la Clondyke Mad.
Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 6. Desire to
rush off to the Alaska gold fields at once,
without waiting till next spring, is in
creasing all the time. Fourteen steam
ers are scheduled to sail from this port
between now and the 1st of September.
Among those who start tomorrow is W.
G. Seward, a relation of Hon. Wm. H.
Seward, who effected the purchase of
Alaska in 1867 for $7,500,000.

Bronsbt Ont.
Pittsburg, Aug. 6. Whether or not
the strikers will be able to get the Plum
Creek men to stop work is becoming a
more serious question than the strike
leaders first thought. Unlike other dig
ging settlements about the Plum Creek
miners live in company houses on com
pany land. The workmen do not have
to leave the Do Armitt property to get
into the mines, and the strikers get no
chance to stop them on the road.
The wives of 20 of the campers are in
the field now. They have access to the
workingmen's houses, but deputies are
stationed all along the property line with
instructions not to allow a solitary man
to enter house range.
Eugene V. Debs left today for Turtle
Creek, wbere he speaks this evening.
Before leaving the City Debs denounced
Judge Jackson, of West Virginia, for is
suing and injunction restraining him
from interfering 'with the Mononagh
company or its employes. Debs said:
"This injunction annihilates the right
of peaceable assemblage and effectually
suppresses free speech."
To Sell Whisky to ne Venezuelans.
New York, Aug. 6. The republic of
Venezuela has granted a concession giv
ing a substantial monopoly for the estab
lishment of the distilling industry in the
republic which was obtained in the m
terst of the American Spirits Manufac
turing Company. Representatives of
that company have paid a number of
visits to Caracas in the last twelve
months, and the company since the
granting of its concession has sent one of
its practical men to supervise the erec
tion of a plant, all the parts of which
have been assembled in this city ready
for shipment.
The import duty is practically prohibi
tory, amounting to about 50 cents a
pound equivalent to $3.80 a gallon. The

A. Michigan Tragedy.
Gkand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 6. Last
April A. H. Dailey, of Jennison, sent a
letter to Mayor Swift, saying he wanted
a wife. The letter got into the newspa
pers, and as a result Dailey received 500
answers. From among the offers he se
lected Mrs. Hattie M.Newton, a Chicago
widow, and they were married. They
quarreled and finally separated. Dailey
gave his wife three days to return. The
time wa9 up at midnight last night and
she refused to return. Dailey forced bis
way into her bedchamber and shot her
with a musket.
Dailey was arrested, and on his way to
jail was allowed to go into a saloon to
drink. He slipped strychnine into his
beer and fell over dead in a few minutes.
The woman will recover.
What use is therein eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, lor it will
not be digested. - You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will come, and with it a re
lish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy ; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive -Cordial
as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects permanent.

Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volnnteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; aud now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful I
enough to you for this great Remedy,
