THE OLD WAY
Seattle, June 27. W. D. Doolittle, of
,Irvington, N. J., has arrived here after
undergoing a series of fearful experi
ences during the past year. He was one
of those unfortunate ones who attempted
to enter the Alaskan gold fields over the
Edmonton route. After an unsuccessful
effort to get in he returned to Telegraph
creek out of food and just able to make
his wants known. Speaking of the
scenes witnessed by him at Telegraph
creek, he said :
"I have witnessed people coming in
with hands and feet frozen, starving and
suffering with scurvy, all telling the same
story of hardship and suffering in the
Liard country. A party of fourteen men
was on its way to Telegraph creek. Five
led to break a trail through the snow,
and the othei nine followed. A heavy
snow storm came up and the nine be
hind became lost. No trace of them has
since been found.
"A vi eek before I left for Seattle men
arrived from Teslin with the news
that three men had been found dead in
a cabin at Moose Lake. They all died
from scurvy. They were two Allison
brothers, of Kent, England, and Carter,
of New Zealand. Nine hundred dollars
was found in the cabin.
"The latter part of May, Porter, the
government agent at Telegraph creek,
sent in a relief party into the Liard dis
trict, consisting of two Indian guides
and four white men. They bad a ecow
load ot provisions. It was reported just
before I left that the scow had reached
the district and distributed the food to
the needy people, of whom there were
about 500.
"I cannot describe the terrible suffer
ing I endured on the trail, and it is a
wonder to me that so many come out
alive."
"French Pete" Missing.
San Francisco, June 27. P. E. Dev
ille,the well-known Alaskan miner, com
monly called "French Pete," the dis
coverer of the celebrated Tread well mine
near Juneau, has been missing since his
arrival in this city a week ago laEt Sun
day, lie intended to go to the California
hotel, where mail and other matter were
waiting for him, but none of his friends
have seen him since he landed, and a
search for him has proved unavailing.
Would Not Buffer So Again for Fifty
Times Its Plica.
I awoke last night with severe painB
in my stomach. I never felt so badly in
all my life. . When I came down to work
this morning I felt so weak I could hardly
work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's
drug store and they recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. It worked like magic
and one dose fixed me all right. It
certainly is the finest thing I ever used
for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for
I should not care to endure the sufferings
of last night again for fifty times its
price. G. H. Wilson, Liveryman, Bur

Scheme for Smuggling In Chinese.

Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion
by Dieting a Dangerous and
Useless One.
We Bay the old way, but really it is a
very common one at the present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians as
well consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods and re
jecting others or to greatly diminish
the quantity usually taken ; in other
words the starvation plan is supposed by
many to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure has been proven time
and again, but still the moment dyspep
sia makes its appearance a coarse of
dieting Is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. It is foolish
and unscientific to recommend dieting
to a man suffering from dyspepsia, be
cause indigestion itself starves every
organ, every nerve and every fibre in the
body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of (rood,
wholesome well-cooked food, and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to di
gest it. This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and thia is the method by which
they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia;
in other words the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets digests it for him. In
thia way the system is nourished and the
overworked stomach rested, because the
tablets will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. One of these
tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meat
or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy for etomach troubles and every
trial makes one more friend for this ex
cellent preparation. Sold at 50 cents
for full sized package at all drug stores.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is bv constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rambling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which ia nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

Ship Bringing Plague to America.
San Fbancisco, June 27. Information
of the presence of the bubonic plague on
the Nippon Maru, bound for this port
and now in quarantine at Honolulu, has
caused no alarm among the quarantne
authorities here. There is no expecta
tion that the disease will enter San Fran
cisco. The federal system of quarantine
has not yet been established at Honolulu,
but there is a representative of this gov
ernment attached to the American con
sulate there whose business it is to see
that bo far as thia country is concerned
the quarantine laws are properly
enforced.
Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doctor
I called on eaid at first it was a slight
strain and would soon be well, but it
grew worse and the doctor then said I
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug store and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one
half of a 50 cent bottle cured me entire
ly. I now recommend it to all my,
friends. F. A. Babcock, Erie, Pa. It

PORTLAND WOULD
BE A TERMINUS
Combination Would Dave Boston, New
York and Portland for Its Termi
nal, and Would Include Union Pa
cific and Oregon Short Line.
New York, June 27. The Tribune
says: The report that the New York
Central has come to an agreement with
the Boston & Albany railroad, by which
the New York Central would lease the
Boston & Albany for a term of 999 years
and guarantee 8 per cent on the. stock,
was not a surprise either in railroad cir
cles or in Wall street. That the lease is
practically closed waa confirmed from a
trustworthy source yesterday.
From one of the most influential rail
road officials of the Vanderbilt system,
some facta' were gleaned about the nego
tiations to secure control of the Boston
& -Albany. For more than two years
William K. Vanderbilt and his friends
have been working to get control of the
Boston & Albany, as it ia the Central's
natural outlet to Boston for ita western
trains. About a year ago Dr. W. S.
Webb, president of the Wagner Palace
Car Company, started in to buy Boston
& Albany stock. As this stock is largely
dealt in in Boston, he authorized a Bos
ton broker to buy all the stock he could
find in the Boston market and did not
stipulate a price, but said to get it.
In about ten days his broker sent word
that he had. secured something over a
thousand shares and wanted to know if
be should go ahead, as the price had gone
op fifty points in these few sales. Then a
stop was put to that. The stock was so
closely held that many thought control
could neyer be secured. Despite this,
persistent work has been done, and is
said to have been crowned with success.
The general opinion in Wall etreet, al
though no official confirmation of the
transaction could be obtained, is in line
with the information that the lease has
virtually been effected and the view was
taken that this New England arrange
ment would before long be followed by
the long-talked-of extension of the New
York Central system to the Pacific coast
from its present western terminus in
Chicago, by consolidation with the Chi
cago & Northwestern, the Union Pacific
and the Oregon Short Line.
