A WORD OF ADVICE To Th«,e Coming to Alaska or Klondike Gold Field*. KILLING PRESIDENTS. th» Unhappy Must He the Rulers of the Lutin America One thing should be impreeaed upon every miner, prospector or trader com ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the Yukon country, and that is the neces sity of providing an adequate and prop er food supply. Whether procured in the States, in the Dominion, or at the supply stores here or further on, this must lie his primary concern. Upon the manner in which the miner has ob served or neglected this precaution more than upon any other one thing will his success or failure depend. These supplies must be healthful and should be concentrated, but the most careful attention in the selection of foods that will keep unimparied indefi nitely under all the conditions which they will have to encounter is impera tive. For instance, as bread raised with baking powder must be relied upon for the chief part of every meal, imagine the helplessness of a miner with a can of spoiled baking powder. Buy only the very best flour; it is the cheapest in the end. Experience has shown the Royal Baking Powder to be the most reliable, and the trading com panies now uniformly supply this brand, as others will not keep in this climate. Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are the absolute necessities upon which all must place a chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospector may be able to pack or desire to pay for.— From the Alaska Mining Journal. For the last year Latin America, al ways turbulent, has been the scene of a reign of terror compared with which European uprisings are nowhere. Three rulers have been assassinated, attempts have been made on the lives of two oth ers and plots and conspiracies against still half a dozen others have been nip ped in the bud. The assassination of the I’resident of Guatemala. Barrios, ends the career of a man whose position was founded on the murder of his op ponents. Central and South America have been noted for years for the rap idity of their revolutions In govern ments. This everyone knows, but the methods of the assnssius of presidents have obtained but little attention. In only one instance out of a dozen has there been a spasmodic attempt at the murder of a ruler. When the two martyr Presidents of the United States fell there was no sympathy anywhere with the assassins. Booth thought he was doing the South a service, but the South repudiated lilm then and ever since. Gulteau’s act was that of a crazed partisan. But when a presi dent of a republic in Central or South America falls under the knife or the bullet of the murderer the whole coun try, except the Immediate followers of the victim, exclaims: “It is well. Now we shall have peace!” A year ago the I’resident of Uruguay was Don Iriarte Borda, the son of a Frenchman, and who by surviving half a dozen revolutions had reached the highest position in the republic. Last year he was accused of fomenting an overturn of the government. In April a man fired a revolver at him at short range, but missed him. The next mouth another man tried unsuccessfully to kill him with dynamite. In August, however, his hour came. As he was leaving the cathedral at Montevideo, after a Te Detim in con nection with the celebration of the 72d anniversary of the establishment of the republic, a youth mimed Arredondo tired two shots at the president, who died almost nt once. The people of Montevideo did not allow gayety to give way to grief. Senor Jose Cuestas, President of the Senate, succeeded to the presidency of the republic until the election In the following March. In December an ex policeman tried to kill him, but the by standers warded him off. The next ruler marked for death by the assassin was President Diaz of Mexico. Again a national holiday was selected for the commission of the crime. Sept. 1(5 being the Independence Day of Mexico. The President had just left the line of the military parade with Ills Secretary of War, when a Mexican named Arroyo struck the President on the back of the head with his fist. Not one of the ITesidents of the republic to the south of us is beloved of his peo ple us Diaz. The assailant was seized A book of recipes for all kinds of cookery, which is specially valuable for use upon the trail or in the camp, is published by the Royal Baking Powder Company, of New York. The receipts are thoroughly practical and the methods are carefully explained, so that the inexperienced may, with its aid, readily prepare everything requi site for a good, wholesome meal, or even dainties if he has the necessary materials. The matter is in compact though durable form, the whole hook weighing but two ounces. Under a special arrangement, this book will be sent free to miners or others who may desire it. We would recommend that every one going to the Klondike pro cure a copy. Address the Royal Bak ing Powder Co., New York. Monster Steel Ribbon. The high quality of Swedish steel was strikingly illustrated at the Scan dinavian exhibition. A steel ribbon, cold rolled, was twined like a silken band about one of the pavillions, the length of this monster tape being 2,354 feet, its width eight inches and its weight 1,146 pounds.

MISS FRANCES El.IZABEIH WILLARD. bEtr » own . We may move along the pathway of life enjoying what seems to us a fair amount of good health, but there comes over every human being at some time some unex pected condition of the system which may be torture for after years. Such is an in sinuating and unexpected attack of sciatica resulting from weakness of the nervous system, which can give more pain to the square inch than any pain that aitliets man kind. It Inis been found out, however, that the prompt and vigorous application of St. Jacobs Oil to the seat of the pain w’U by persistent rubbing finally penetrate and cure by soothing and strengthening the diseased nerve. It is a pain that needs to be watched. The sciatica nerve plays so important a part that its derangeiu*>t may cripple. Beware of its putting you on crutches, for it may keep you there tor many a day, while the great remedy may in a day put you on your feet. I HE ilenth of Miss Frances E. Willard brought sorrow to many hearts, r’or I many years she has been identified with a reform that was far-reaching A. and inqHirtant. and her activity was such that, by the very modesty of her work and the sincerity of her purpose, she was carried to, rather than sought, a prominence that was so pronounced that one of the magazines not long since re ferred to her as the “uncrowned queen of America.” Early identified with the Woman’s Christian Temperance movement, she was always its most trusted leader. In her gentle personality were the elements of true generalship that en abled her to marshal the forces of temperance into a mighty host. Without fanaticism or bigotry she brought to the organization of which she was the head the intrepid courage of a dauntless leader, the ripe attainments of a lilieral scholarship and the loving kindness of a nature that never lost the softer attri butes of refined womanhood. Surveying the beauty of her life, its plentitude of noble achievement and its bountiful sacrifice, her keenest critics, who some times assailed the methods of the organization which she founded, must join in the acknowledgement that she was a great moral force oud that her services to mankind were inestimable. sold as meat—as broilers, boilers, and linkers—brought $125,000,000 more, making the total hen crop at a conser vative rate $290.000,000.

The navy department has ordered a trial to be held at the New York navy yard of the steam turbine engine, with a view to the adoption of the type on some of the new torpedo boats. With a steam turbine and oil fuel the en gineers say it will be [tossible to secure far higher speed in torpedo boats than prevails now. The Turbina, an Eng lish-made boat, developed the phenom enal speed of 33 knots, and it is be lieved, considering that she is only half the size of the Cushing, that when the invention is perfected it will be prac ticable to attain at least two more knots with ships which now are not fitted with it. has not always White was the Henry VIII and in the time of A copv of the new edition of Miss Parloa’s Choice Receipts will be sent postpaid to any of our readers who will make applica tion by postal card or note to Walter Baker & Co., Limited, Dorchester, Mass.

An Owl Flew Through the Cab. Mike Murphy, engineer of the “Blue Flyer” on the B. and O., was badly cut In the face by flying glass from Ills cab window early yesterday morning. Mr. Murphy was coming down from the big hill at Caseyville at a high rate of speed, and, the air being quite fresh, lie kept his cab window closed. All at once he heard a crash, and the next instant blood covered Ills face, the re suit of particles of glass from Ills call window striking him. He hastily re versed his engine, and, as soon as he washed the blood from his face, looked around for the cause of the accident, lie expected to find that some mis creant had thrown a missile through the window, but in a corner of the cab lay a big owl, which had passed through tile window. The owl wai slightly disfigured, but would have 18“en able to fly had Mr. Murphy per mitted It to escape. He brought it to East St. Ixiuls, and will keep it as a memento of the fast run at Caseyville. Railroad men contend that the electric headlight so blinded the owl that It could not see to escape, and that It plunged through the glass in its lialf- dnzed condition.—St. Louis Globe-Dem- acrat.
