RELIEF BILL SIGNED

Detailed.
Washington, Dec. 18. Both houses
of congress today passed the joint reso
lution for the relief of miners in the Yu
kon valley, Alaska, -and in a short time
it had received the signature of the pres
cient. S
' The bill appropriated $200,000 to be
expended under direction of the secre
tary of war in the purchase of supplies
for the relief of the people in the Yukon
country or other mining regions of Alas
ka, and for the transportation and dis
tribution of such supplies, provided that
if the consent of the Canadian govern
ment be obtained,, the secretary of war
may extend the relief into Canadian
territory.
The resolution further provides that
the supplies may be sold in that region
at such prices aa may be fixed bv the
secretary m war, or donated to those un
able to pay for them. The secretary of
war ia authorized to use the .United
States army in earring into effect the
provisions of the act, to import reindeer
and drivers to transport' these supplies,
and to adopt . such other provisions as
are practicable.
The secretary ia directed, when the
work shall have been completed, to eell
the reindeer or turn them over to the
eecretary of the interior, in hia diacre
tion, and to make a detailed report to
congress at the beginning of ttie next
session of such disbursements and re
sults accomplished under the act.
Secretary Alger is giving much etndy
to the best means of getting supplies to
the Yukon, and haa decided to ask for
bids for the delivery of stores directly to
Dyea, Skaguay and Chilkat. Already a
great deal of rivalry has sprung up be
tween the towns on the Pacific coast for
the honor of being the ehipping port lor
the stores and for the business that will !
follow, and by requiring bidders to de
liver their goods directly in Alaska, the
war department will be saved the ne
cessity of making a choice among them.
Secretary Alger's estimate now la that
more than 3,000,000 pounds of food
stores will be required for tbe expedi
tion. This makes the transportation prob
lem a very serious one. It ia estimated
that a reindeer cannot be loaded safely
with more than 300 pounds, so that no
leaa than 1000 of these anjmala wonl be
required aa a pack train, if they were
the aole reliance.
One question that has engaged the
secretary's attention ia that of securing
tbeconaent of the Canadian government
for the passage of the relief expedition
over that part of the Canadian territory
which must necessarily be traversed in
. order to reach the miners. It will be
neceasay to obtain a permit, for a mili
tary expedition to pass, and also to se-

cure the remission of duties.
It is probable that to attain this ob
ject in the shortest possible period of
time, Secretary Alger will go himself
to Ottawa in a few daya and deal direct
ly with tbe Canadian authorities, in
stead of relying on the slow-moving
process of diplomacy.
This afternoon Secretary Alger sent a
telegram tojGeneral Merriam in strncting
bim to pick out two officers and fifty of
bis best men to act aa guards for the ex
pedition. Captain Brainerd is to devote himeelf
to superintending the selection of stores,
their delivery and proper package at
Dyea for the trip across the passes. Af
terward, he may go across with one of
the expeditions.
The present idea ia that there will be
twenty of these expeditions, and they
will be loaded with one thousand tons
of food, for which Secretary Alger will
advertise immediately, under condition
of delivery at Dyea.
The United States military attache ol
the legation at Stockholm haa been
cabled to purchase tbe reindeer needed
as draft animals and to ship them to
Dyea. Mjr. Kjellman, the chief herder
of the Alaskan reindeer herd, is now in
Lapland, where he has been getting an
option on the animals needed. '
Bow to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without tbe aid ot some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia.' We know of
no better remedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
We have need it quite extensively and it
haa alwaya "given entire satisfaction

used it forcolda and la grippe, we have
not yet learned of a single case having re

Uhicago, uec. is. The Tribune savs
the opinion is gaining ground in rail
way and financial circles that neither E
W. Winter or Horrace G. Bui't will be
president of the : Union Pacific. The
man now mentioned for the position is
Cbaa. Mellen, president of the Northern
Pacific.
Mr. Winter, it is eaid, did not fet4 in

reasons. Burl's name was then sug
gested, but objection, it is said was raised
to him on account of hia being now vice

Union Pacific would be looked upon
with great suspicion, but circumstances
are such that the report is believed to
have a good .foundation. But there ia
friction, it is eaid, between his friends
and the friends of Vice-President La
mont.' Lemont was originally elated for
the presidency. He was the choice of
J.J. Hill, but J. Pierpont Morgan, head
of the Northern Pacific syndicate, did
not think Lamont bad toe requisite en
terprise. A compromise was effected
and Mellen was chosen president and
Lamont vice-'prerident.
Rumors have lately been current that
Lamont would soon succeed Mellen as
president of the Northern Pacific, and
thus strength is given to those reports
that Mellen had been practically agreed
upon as most suitable for the presiden
cy of the Union Pacific.
After meals you should have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. - You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going cn. . If you do,
you have indigestion, which means not
digestion. This may bo the beginning of
bo many dangerous diseases, that it is
bast to take it in band at once and treat
it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For
you know that indication makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness. Aud
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di
gestion and cures indigestion. Shater
Digestive Cordial does this by providing
the digestive materials in which tbe
sick stomach is wanting. It also tones

and makes them perfectly healthy.

South Before the War.
In epite of the restraints of slavery,
the plantation darkey was not entirely
deprived of the pleasures of life. His
native pastimes, hia . cake walks, bis
camp meetings, and festivities of. every
description, all give evidence of tbe leis
ure hours in which he waa permitted to
enjoy himself. It ia the realistic por
trayal of these characteristics incident
to old plantation days, in ' a word, the
representation of the darkey in his hap
py ,honre, that makes the South Before
the War, which will occupy the stage of
the Vogt opera house on Friday evening,
December 24th, a highly respectable en
tertainment. It gives employment to

, It lcli and Poor -in India.
Our standard oi civilization is per
sonal comfort luxury, a thing1 abso
lutely unknown in- native India. There
is scarcely any difference in the mode of
living between the rich and the poor.
If you g-o into the house of a rajah, there
is the same bare floor, ancronly a simple
platter to eat from, such as is seen in the
home of the poorest. To put it crudely,
there will probably not be -even the
luxury of a wash basin and towel, for
the nch man, like his poor brother, he
washes in the open and dries himself
in the sun. Such is the extreme sim
plicity pf life that wealth is still buried
in India; a man may spend it on jewels
for his wife, but not on pleasure or per
sonal comfort. This simple life, which
fostered no distinctions of class, has
been preserved for 3,000 years by In
dian civilization, but ours will destroy it
in 50 years. .Humanitarian.
