\“ — k - OIPI. OIIOPOOOION Holding Of a. Starving Mob a1 Dawson City. NEEDS SUPPORT AT ONCE Critical Situation of the Government Rep resentntive in the. Yukon Country-- Troops to Leave for Alaskanlllore Conn panics in ieadiness. Washington, Feb. 10—13. Hazard Wells, the special courier who brought Captain Ray’s dispatches from the Yu- kon,‘ reached \Vashington Tuesday night. He said: "I cannot properly say anything as :0 Captain Ray’s report, but I can say that I left him in a rather critical po- sition, and the sooner the Government gets support in to him the better. Cap- tain Bay has only one man with him, Lieutenant Richardson. They reached Fort Yukon somewhat ahead of a mob of eighty and a hundred of the tough- est men that could be picked out of Dawson, and when I left the Captain he was standing off this mob from the provision caches largely by virtue of a small American flag and his own magw nificent nerve. "When the food panic struck Dawson this mob of toughs left for Fort Yukon, knowing that the VVeare Company and t‘ 3 Alaska Commercial Company each I Id a cache of provisions there. The awson men intended to appropriate These supplies and let the rest of the camp shift for itself. Captain Ray learned of this and he posted himseli at one end of the cache, while Lieuten- ant Richardson guarded the other. They were in uniform and had two small American flags. The mob tackled the Captain first and ordered him to give up. He refused, and for a time it looked as if there would be shooting, but between the uniform and the flag the mob was orerawed. “One thing cannot be too strongly impressed on those who contemplate joining the. Spring rush. Major IValsh, the Canadian Commissionei‘, will allow noman in over Canadian soil who does not bring 1,000 pounds of provisions. Tc start without that will be to be turned back. “The rush next year. so far as one can judge, is going to be on the Ta- nana River, in the heart of Alaska, southwest of the Klondike and in American territory. That is where the most of the 100,000 new comers will strike. The transportation companies cannot get provisions enough in for all that crowd, and the Government probably will have to help them again next Winter." Troops for Alaska. Portland, Ore., Feb. 10.—-Colonel T. M. Anderson, Fourteenth Infantry, will be - in command of the troops which are ordered to Alaska. Two more compa- nies are held in readiness to sail on short notice. The Cleveland Back in Service. Tacoma, IVaslr, Feb. 10.—The steam- er Cleveland has sailed for Skaguay and Dyea.

Lexington, Ky., Feb. 10.——A political sensation has been caused by the pub- lication of a letter from Colonel Thomas E. Moore, of Bourbon County, a lead- ing silver Democrat, denouncing Desha Breckenridge, son of Colonel W C. P. Breckenridge, editor of the Herald, and suggesting a duel to settle the differ- ences. Colonel Moore is an ex-Confed- erate and is paralyzed in his right arm. He suggests that both use left arms. The feeling between the men was en- gendered in the Breckenridge-Owens Congressional contest four years ago. Colonel Moore was recently suggested as a penitentiary commissioner, and the Herald ridiculed him. This led to the challenge. Breckenridge is in Frankfort and will probably answer Colonel Moore to-day. Colonel Breckenridge clined to discuss the challenge. Three Young llIen Died on a Spree. Weston, W. Va...

GIIIIOIIIO IIISM. GITIIIIIII. In every case of chronic nasal ca- tarrh the lining membranes of the nose are thickened and of a deep red color, while the superificial veins are swollen and throbbing. In nearly every case we may find patches of a grayish color, and in not a few there is actual ulcera- tion with more or less loss 0f substance. The secretion is thick, tough, of a greenish character, and when the de- struction is very rapid, of a fetid odor. Large collections of dried secretions may be adherent- to the middle and sides of the nose. 'When inflammation has existed a long time and ulceration has taken place, puriform matter is se- creted and drops into the throat. This is one of the most dangerous features of the complaint, and this matter often descends into the stomach, causing,r fre- quent vomiting and a general derange- ment of health and finally ends in cu- turrh of the stomach. Nasal cat-arrh must be cured by local treatmenfi, and in this, cleanliness of the nasal passages is the chief end and aim. The custom of habitually hawk- ing and snufi'ing should be immediately stopped: besides being disgusting. it is unnecessary and productive of positive InJury. By the use of California Catarrh Cure perfect cleanliness of the nasal passages is secured, and the peculiar properties of the herbs used in its pro- duction not only cleanses the mucous membrane of all puriform matter, soothing and allaying all inflammation, but also effectually destroy all forms of fungus which may grow in the throat or nasal passages. It has cured cases of almost total deafness, restored the ability to detect odors to persons who had almost forgot ten what an odor was, and has cured cases that. surely would have resulted in total blindness. Let. no one who has suffered any of the evils of catarrh, hesitate to secure a. bottle of California Cat-arrh Cure. with full faith that. he will obtain relief and cure. It is sold by all dealers: 50 cents, three times as much $1. L AW. CONVENTION. Subject of Good Roads Discussed by “illeeluien in St. Louis. St. Louis, Feb 10.—The attendance at the L. A. W. convention, which was called to order at 10 o’clock yesterday morning at the Southern Hotel, was larger than expected. All the delega- tions answered the roll call. The principal subject of the day's discussion was good roads. Local op- tion and the Presidency will be next considered. Sunday racing advocates profess to have received many con- verts, although the Eastern opposition has not yet shown its hand. The St. Louis contingent, headed by L. W. Roberts, is active in the prem- ises, and the Presidential campaign politics will be largely shaped on that issue President Potter says that his re— election is only a question of voting. Gideon, of Philadelphia, and Fred Geerch ,of Buffalo, have, it seems. a trained corps of buttonholers canvass- ing the situation for first place. It was rumored last night that there is a combination among the Eastern and Western States, including Illinois and IVisr-onsin, to dump E. N. Hines and substitute IV. C. Malley for vice-presi- dent on the Potter ticket. Hines is very angry. Malley is a member or the VVoodlawn Cycling Club, of Chi- cago. Elliott and Potter held a friend- ly meeting in the hotel rotunda last night. _ _.._-...._._._. -n . Mrs. George Awarded $300 Damages. New York, Feb. 10,—M1‘S. Annie C.
