Some Are Prospectors Fleeing Before

lug; Over Dawson. -
Anvik, Alaska, Aug. 23, via Seattle,
Sept. 14. The steamer Bella, of the
Alaska Commercial Company, passed
the steamer Hamilton this afternoon.
There are ninety passengerj on the Bel
la, seventy miners returning with their
Btakes, Baid to aggregate $500,000, and
the remainder are prospectors fleeing
from the shadow of famine to come.
Louis Sloss, jr., of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, who was on board,
confirmed all the reports hitherto given
of the shortage of food supplies.
''We have been compelled to adopt
measures," eaid he, "to prevent single
individuals from cornerirjg the food eup-
Sies. For this reason we have limited
e quantity f 6rao to De 8ld to each
person. One sack of flour each week is
all that any man te allowed to purchase.
We closed our stare for a time after the
Bella arrived', declining to sell to anyone
tintil we found out what we had in stock
and how far it would go toward, supply
ing the orders we had already. We will
not sell supplies to either hotels or res
taurants, and as far as possible to miners
only." .
Jack McQaesten; the Alaska Commer
cial Company's, trader at Circle City,
who was one of the number on board
the Bella, says there is not enough pro
visions in the .Yukon country now to
supply the demand.

A Seattle Mao Practices It and Is Male-
ing Money.
Si2.TTLK, Sept. 14.' Dr. M. M. Cald
well, a dentist, formerly of Seattle, now
of Dawson City, writes his wife in this
city under date of Dawson City, August
S, as follows:
"I have opened an office here and am
doing well. The 13th of the month will
be two months since I started in busi"
ness. I have made $1357.50 up to this
date. That will be" about $700 per
month.
"Moose meat and fish have been very
plentiful here this last month. Fish at
25 cents per pound and moose at 50
cents. Most people like moose as well
as beef. I don't go much on moose. I
think that I got hold of an old tough
bull. It took all day to cook ' it. The
Alaskan Indians live on such things
for months, and are fat and healthy. As
long as moose and fish hold out. there
need be no fear of anyone starving to
death.' I think that I will get quite a
lot of crown work to do here. There is
no one else here that can do it. I charge
- from $35 to $50 each. '
"The days are beginning to get a little
shorter now, as it gets dark between 11
o'clock and midnight. The last time
thai I saw any dark night was when we
were camping on Lake Lebarge. That
was June-1. Since that time the nights
have been about as dark as a cloudy day.
Cold weather will set in about Septem
ber 15. I have just had dinner. The
bill of fare was as follows :
"Soup, dried spuds, with beef grease
and salt; potatoes, with peelings on,
twenty cents per pound ; bread, baker's,
three loves for $1 ; butter, middling; fair,
seventy-five cents per pound ; lemonade
made from acid of milk ; coffee that
. came from Seattle. Fresh potatoes cost
$20 per ton. "I think that I ate seven
or eight for dinner today potatoes, not
tons."

Serious Collision on a Chicago Subur
ban A.ioe.
Chicago, Sept. 14. Two electric cars
on the Suburban electric railway collided
while running at full speed along a
stretch of single track on Harlem avenue
south of Harrison street, in Lagrange,
this morning.
The accident happened just . before 7
o'clock, when the traffic was heavy and
nearly all the passengers with which
both cars were crowded were injured.
Motormen J. Murphy and John Jamison
will die.
On account of a heavy mist which
bung over the tracks, the motorman of
the south -bound car, which was to have
passed the north-bound car where double
track ends, failed to notice that he had
left the double track. Before be could
reverse and ran back; the north-bound
car came up and collided with terrific
force.
Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that
you can't be cared.
There mast be a care for you some
where. If your doctor can't care yoa, perhaps
he has mistaken the cause. Anybody
is liable to make a mistake sometimes.
One in three of as suffer from indiges
tion, and one' out of three dyepeptics
doesn't know it. That is, be may know
he is sick, but he blames it to something
else. '.
Indigestion is the cause of half of oar
dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made from
tonic medicinal roots and berbs, is tbe
most natural care for indigestion. It
relieves the symptoms and cures the
disease gently, naturally, efficiently, giv
ing strength and health to sick dyspep
tics. . . '

A BULOB IN BIS BOTTOM.
Battle-Ship Indiana Damaged In Dock
ing at Halifax;
New YoRK.JSept. 14. A special to tbe
Journal and Advertiser, from Halifax
eays:
Daring tbe recent docking of the battle-ship
Indiana her bottom bulged un
der the forward turret. The fault is at
tributed to Naval Constructor Bowles, of
New York. He came here to see that
the docking was properly done. The
weight of the turret was so great that
j the bottom sank enough to seriously af
fect the turrets' supports.
The dock officials say .they have
docked British naval vessels much heav
ier than the Indiana without trouble,
and regret the accident to the Indiana,
but critics in tbe United States will be
disposed to throw the blame upon them
and accuse them of purposely trying to
cripple one of the beet vessel iu this
navy. ' . ' - ' -

SPAN1SH SMACKS FIKKD IIPOX.
An Exciting Incident Oft" the Florida
. Coast:
Tampa, Fla., Sept.. 14. Tbe Spanish
consul bere, Pedro Soils, is wratby be
cause the -state patrol steamer Germ
fired on several Spanish smacks. JThe
Germ is a large trim launch belonging
to the state health board, and is armed
with small cannon. .The Spanish
Bmacks hover around tbe coast and sell
Spanish liquors, etc., to the sponging
and fishing vessels that come here, thus
infringing on the quarantine laws. This
practice .is to be broken up, and the
state health authorities have adopted
stringent measures. Last week two
were captured, and tbe American and
Spanish vessels caught together were
Bent to quarantine. ' '
While'the Germ was on her last trip
she sighted two Spanish smacks and
tbey put to sea. Finding she could not
overhaul them, the launch sent a eolid
shot after them. Tbe second shot
brought them to, and tbey were sent to
quarantine. ' . . ..
The Spanish consul wired a complaint
to Washington after the firing on the
Spanish vessels, and the matter was
brought to the attention of Dr. Porter,
state health officer. Mi1. Porter and
Mr. Solis had a conference yesterday in
which the health officer, who is a retired
naval physician, plainly, told the consul
that tbe smacks would be fired on and
bit, too, if they did not stop when sig
naled. There was much feeling over the fir
ing, as the Cubans have made much ado
over, the matter of an American vessel
firing on tbe Spanish flag, and jeered
the Spaniards here about it.
The Views of Sagasta.
Madkid, Sept. 14. Senor Sagasta, lib
eral leader, in an interview on the sub
ject of tbe Cuban insurrection, says the
uprising instead' of dying out is spread-,
ing considerably. In addition Senor
Sagasta says the situation in the Philip
pine islands is serious. He also asserts
the Carlist propaganda in . Spain cannot
be viewed with indifference, and ex
presses the belief that a reconciliation
between the Apolitical parties in Spain
is impossible as long as the conserva
tives are in power.
Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres' in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the. blood. Electric . Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges
tion and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. ' Try. it. Sold for
503 or $1.00 " per bottle at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. (2)
Keiult of a Land Dispute.
Tacoma, Sept. 14. Particulars have
been received of the murder of Peter
Coutts, late in August, at his ranch on
Similkameen river, Okanogan county.
They show that bis killing is the seventh
in a series of murders resulting from
land disputes and indirectly from delay
in the approval by federal authorities of
land surveys made six and seven years
ago. . ''.
Coutts' homestead lies on tbe east
bank of tbe river, three miles north of
the Wyandotte mine, extending through
bottom ground overgrown with brash.
The forty acres in dispute is only a tract
of marsh.
"My boy came home from school one
day with his band badly lacerated and
bleeding, and suffering great pain," says
Mr. E. J. Schall, with Meyer Bros:'
Drug. Co., St. Louie, Mo. "I .dresse'd
tbe wound, and applied Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely. All pain ceased, and
in a remarkably short time it healed
without leaving a scar. For wounds,
sprains, swellings and rheumatism I
know of no other medicine or prescrip
tion equal to it. I consider it a , house
hold necessity." The 25 and . 50 cent
sizes lor sale by Blakeley & Houghton.
