TUBS FOR THE NORTH
A Unique Fleet Sails for the
Land of Gold Today.
TWO HISTORIC CRAFTS INCLUDED
One the Ancleut Sldewheeler Eliza An
derson, the Other Ex-Rnsaian
Gunboat Polltkofsky.
Seattle, Aug. 10. The 6teamer Eliza
Anderson, an old-fashioned sidewheeler,
bnilt in Portland, Or., in 1850, leaves
today for the Clondyke via St. Michaels,
with 150 passengeri. She is a wooden
vessel, and for sixteen years was out of
service, being tied op to the dock. Then
for a year she lay at the bottom of the
Sound, but she was raised some years
ago and now is to be sent to Behnng sea
with a crowd of gold hunters. The
Eliza Anderson will be consorted by the
tug Holyoke. the latter having in tow
the small stern wheeler Merwin, the
schooner W. J. Bryan and the dis
mantled Eteamer Folly, the latter to be
nsed as a barge on the Yukon river ply
ing between Dawson, Circle City, Forty
Mile and St. Michaels. The Merwin
will also run on the Yukon.
Nobody knows how old the Polly is.
Her real original name was "Politkofey,"
And she was included in the purchase of
Alaska by the United States from Rus--sia
in 1S67. At that time the Polly was
a Russian gunboat located at Sitka. She
was later sold by the United States to
the Port Blakeley Mill Company, on
Puget sound. Years since she was
Stripped of her guns and machinery,
and is now being returned to her North
ern home in the ignominious position of
a freight barge.
The Polly will carry fuel for the tug
Holyoke, and also fuel for the Eliza An
derson. The schooner Bryant will carry
eome of the Anderson's passengers and
all the freight of the prospectors.
Up to this . date nearly 4000 miners
have sailed from Seattle for the Yukon
and about 2000 more have sailed from
other points north and south, including
those who have gone from California.
Filled the Baby With Wind.
Pittsburg, Aug. 10. Mrs. George
Ruthman, of Beaver Falls, heard a pe
culiar noise on the back porch of her
residence. She found her Two boub, one
aged 7 and the other one year older, in
a corner. The babe was on bis back.
The elder brother had inserted the tube
of a bicycle pump in the baby's mouth
and was filling him with wind as fast aB
he could work the pump. The infant
was unconscious and its little stomach
was inflated like a balloon. The mother
pulled the tube from the child's mouth
and the air followed with a sharp sound
like the the exhaust of an air brake on a
railway train. The baby recovered con
sciousness. A Pearl-Producing Lake.
Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 10. For a
month or more people living near Bald
Enob have been finding valuable pearls
in a lake near that place. Hundreds of
people have been opening musselsbells
in search of the pearls, and Borne of the
gems have been found, some being sold
for as much as $300.
A special from Bald Knob says a syn
dicate of Memphis parties have leased
the lake for five years for $10,000. They
will build a fence around the lake and
begin work with a steam dredger. They
will also erect an elegant clubhouse.
The lake is said to be the richest pearl
producer in the United States.

lined up on the public highways leading
to the Ingel mines this morning and as
the men came to work at 5 o'clock they
were again appealed to by the strikers
with the result that the few men who
had intended to work decided to join the
strikers. The entire force is now out,
and the marchers are devoting their en
ergies to other mines of the city.
REPLY TO ELIOT'S CHARGES.
State Department Cornea Back at the
Professor.
Washington, Aug. 10. The state de
partment has made a formal answer to
charges pending against Commissioner
J. W. Foster by Professor Henry J. Eliot
in bis letter to Assistant Secretary Day.
The statement says :
"Professor Eliot is not now, nor has
be been for several years past, connected
with the Smithsonian institution or any
department of the government. In 1890
he made a report upon the seal islands
as an agent of the treasury department,
but it was so full of inaccurate state
ments', betrayed such a want of scientific
knowledge, was so hostile to the inter
ests of the United States and was written
in such a prejudiced spirit that Secre
tary Blaine declined to send it to con
gress or allow it to be printed.
"From that time Professor Eliot
ceased to have any connection with the
government, and the officials say he has
lost no opportunity to attack any step
taken by it on the subject and to abuse
all persons having any official relations
to sealing matters. His report was
printed by the British government, and
strongly relied upon by the British con
sul before the tribunal to overthrow the
position of the United States."
Dressed Beef on the Rise.
Kansas City, Aug. 10. The whole
sale price of dressed beef by all the big
packers has been raised. The lowest
price on dressed beef now is 6 cents,
whereas on Saturday fair to good West
ern beef could be bought for 4 to h
cents. Better grades were raised in pro
portion. The best grades of bacon were
also raised cents per pound.
The dealers claim that the raise in
price is proof positive that the big "com
bine," about which so much has been
beard lately, is a fact, and that it has
begun the expected squeezing process.
They declare that they will go into a
combine of their own and butcher their
own meat. The packers deny that there
is any combine.

BOGG9' POINT IS INVADED.
Over One Hundred Ohio Strikers Have
Gathered There.
.Wheeling, Aug. 10. West Virginia
was Invaded by Ohio miners this morn
ing. ; About 125 miners from the Mill
Creek region marched through the city
and reached Boggs' Run mine, below
Wheeling, at 4 o'clock. The Ohio min
ers came for the purpose of closing down
Bongs' Run, the only railroad mine in
the Wheeling"dT8Trict now being oper
ated. They announce that they will
stay until the Boggs' Run miners join
the strike, and todav 200 more from
Barton, Maynard, Pascoe and other min
ing communities in Eastern Ohio, are to
come. Miners along the Wheeling &
Lake Erie have also announced a willing'
ness to participate in this demonstration,
which may last several days.
With the West Virginia strikers
gathering at Boggs' Run there are now
about 400 men there. At this showing
of force the 100 Boggs' Run miners did
not show a front this morning. A meet
ing will probably be held today, bnt it
will be a difficult matter to get the men
at this point out.

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 etrength
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.
Doctors prescribe Laxol because it
has all tbe virtues of Castor Oil and is
palatable.
The True Kennedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiakilwa. 111.,
"Cheif," eays : "We won't keep bouse
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we nsed Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you- as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
reme&y has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

With the close of the Presidential Campaign THE TRIBUNE recognizes the.
fact that the American people are now auxious to give their attention to home and
business interests. To meet this condition, politics will have far less space and
prominence, until another State or National occasion demands a renewal of the
light for the principles for which THE TRIBUNE has- labored from its inception
to the present day. and won its greatest victories.
Every possible effort will be put forth, and money freely spent, to make THE
WEEKLY'TRIBUNE pre-eminently a National Family Newspaper, interesting..
