MAXIMS FOR KLONDIKE
They Are Not of the Verbal Taribty;
but Are Rapid Fire Guns.

Canada Evidently Intends to Exact Her
Royalty From Poor Gold Hunters
if Blood Be Shed—A
Prosperous Dressmaker.
Even
Montreal, Aug. 10.—American miners
who go into the Canadian sectionrof the
Yukon. goldfields are to be confronted
by two British maxim guns in the
hands of the mounted police.
That is the decision by the Dominion .
government, and the two guns will
leave Victoria, B. 0., on Saturday next.
The excuse is that the government is
determined to leave nothing undone to
maintain law and order and enforce the
regulations, and it has been decided to
appoint an administrator for the dis-
trict who will have entire charge of all
officials there and be chief executive
officer of the government.
Major Walsh, who was active in sup-
pressing the Riel rebellion in 1885, has
been selected for that post. He has
had great experience in rough frontier
life and is accustomed, at the head of a
few men, to face large bodies of hostiles
and quell disturbances.
One of the maxim guns is to be sta-
tioned at Tagish, just over the summit
of the White pass, and the other at
Fort Cudahy.
The government claim that if a body
of miners congregate to resist the law
or any of the regulations they would
think twice before proceeding if they
. knew that Major Walsh, at the head of
100 picked men, backed up by two max-
im guns, stood‘in their path.
Orders have been given reducing the
size of claims from 500 to 100 feet, and
the new regulations will go into effect
at once. 7;

ill Horses to Help Dig Gold.
‘ Seattle, Wash, Aug. 10.—The sailing
of the big collier Willamette for the
Klondike caps the climax of wholesale
shipments of humanity and its accesso-
ries.
The Willamette goes to Dyea and car—
ries 1,000 tons of freight, 200 horses and
300 passengers. This is the limit.
The scene yesterday and this morn-
ing around the water front was most
picturesque. Thousands of men, wom—
en and children were there with a burn-
ing desire to touch the glittering gold
of the Yukon.
Hundreds did not. possess enough
money to pay their passage, while hun-
dreds of others were impatiently await-
ing the sailing of the vessel in which
they were booked.
It is hard to decide which is the more
interesting—to watch the crowd or the
loading of the steamers.
The crowd is cosmopolitan in the ex-
treme, and a composite picture of the
costumes would be a rare curio indeed.
The most novel sight to be seen are
the improvised stables on the big
barges Ajax and Bjax. Each will carry
nearly 200 horses and a sufficient supply
of hay and grain to cover the run to
Dyea.
The steamship Mexico is overdue
from Dyea, and it is feared she may
have had an accident to her machinery.
The women of the country will be in-
terested in knowing that the first wom-
an who can cut and fit a dress has ar—
rived at Klondike and is making afor-
tune with her needle. She is Mrs. Ches-
ter C. Adams of Winlock, this state,
and inside of 30 working hours in Daw-
son City she netted $90 from sewing.
Expensive Mother Hubbards.
For making up a common, everyday
Mother Hubbard. Mrs. Adams received
$5 and for a waist without “bones” or
any of the frills of civilization she was
readily paid from $10 to $15 in nuggets.
The plainest kind of work brought
from $5 to $10, and sometimes, when she
sold goods or made a trade, the women
who paid her weighed out considerably
more gold than she asked for her work.
Mrs. Adams finds that the-women of
the Klondike have plenty of gold, as
_ well as the men.
Mrs. Adams believes in telling the
whole truth about the Klondike.
"I sold a bracelet for $25, a cheap pair
for $5, a‘little locket for $4.50 and there
5 cent sacks of candy for $1.50, making
$36. The purchaser, a girl, poured the
gold on the scales, saying she would
give me good weight to bring me luck.
When I weighed it there was $45.50, and
that is the way it goes. Gold is plenty.
‘fChester went to the mines one day.
He met men coming down staggering
under loads of gold, 100 pounds apiece,
which they had earned working mines
on shares in the last seven months.
’Some left on the steamer yesterday
with fortunes. The largest for one
man Was 1,300 pounds.
“Chester says there was over $2,000,—
000 in gold dust that went out on the
steamer yesterday. There has been
$1.800 taken from one pan by one man;
$16,000 from what two men shoveled
into, the sluice boxes in four hours.
This is from a mine on Bonanza, the
same creek we have leased on."
Will Smuggle Whisky.
Seattle, Wnsh., Aug. 10.—-A whisky
smuggling ring has been organized to
operate in Alaska and the Northwest
Territory. The headquarters are at San
Francisco. A branch has been estab-
lished in this city. The smugglers pro-
pose chartering a steamer, filling it
with provisions and whisky concealed
and sending it to St. Michael’s. A large
amount of whisky is annually smuggled
into Alaska by organized bands, it is
said.
Gold In Pennsylvania.
Altoona, Pa., Aug. 10.———Gold in paying
quantities, assaying as high as $625 to
the ton of quartz, has been found in
Tussey mountain, 25 miles south of this
city. It is now being mined in consid-
erable quantities. Tussey mountain is a.
ridge of the Alleghany system, forming
the southeastern boundary of Blair
county and separating it from Hunting-
don county and a small portion of‘Bed-
ford. It is in Bedford county that the
richest portion of the gold vein has
been found.
The International Derby.

The werds that Carry
Weight in Norwalk Are
_ from Norwalk People.
When anything that promises relief
is offered you,the first thing you wish to
know is if it ever helped anyone else;
and the amount of faith you will have
in trying it will depend upon the reli-
ability of the testimony offered in its
behalf. When 7 this is from remote
strangers,way beyOnd the reach of your
consultation, doubts may remain; but.
when it comes from disinterested Nor-
walk people, whom you can consult at.
any time, its reliability is apparent; its
truth not to be doubted. And the tee-
timony of Norwalk people, and of prom-
inent people among them, is 'united in
declaring that California Catnrrh Cure
cures catarrh, that it removes all traces
of this persistent and humiliating dis-
ease. Note the words of a man you
know you can believe:
M r. D. C. Croft, 11 East avenue, East ’
Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh
for years, tells of his relief as follows:
“ I find that California Catarrh Cure
has relieved me very much. It. keeps
my head and throat much clearer than
they had been for a long time, and the
relief is wonderful. Anyone suffering
from catarrh in any form will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It relieves
at once, and I believe the relief is per—
manent. ”
California Catarrh Cure is the great-
est reliever of hay fever and the great-
est cure. All dealers, 50 cents, three
times as much, one dollar.
BOOKWALTER HATES SPRINGFIELD
[Te T'Vill for That. Reason Sell All of His
Property In That City.
Springfield. 0., Aug. 10.—The leaving
of John ‘Tv’. zooolm‘alter to take passage
for Europe last week marked a turning
point in an interesting story-of wrongs
or imagined wrongs on the part of a
city and of an outburst of resentment
on the part of a citizen. Prior to going
Mr. Bookwaiter put all of his properties
except his interest in the James Leffel
company’s turbine water wheel shops in
the hands of an agent to place on the
market. The principal property for sale
is the Lagonda Hotel block, valued at
$150,000. On an opposite corner is the
Bookwalter block, another business and
office building, valued at about $100,000.
Half a square south is the Grand Opera
House, valued at about $25,000. These
three blocks and other valuable real es-
tate l‘vlr. Book ralter proposes to get rid
of, mainly for the reason that they are
part of Springfield. '
His dislike of this city and objection
to appearing in any way identified with
its interests are said to date from legal
complications growing out of an acci-
dent which happened many years ago.
General Moses B. Walker of Kenton fell
into an excavation which, it was a1—
leged, was left unguarded. The city
was drawn into the long and tedious
damage proceedings which’resulted in
a decision unfavorable to Mr. Book-
walter, who owned the property On
which the excavation was being made.
He conceived that he was deeply
wronged and held the city to account
for it. Since that time many things
have happened more firmly to fix this
impression on his mind. His defeat as
the Democratic candidate for governor
in 1882 served also to sour him. His
decision was announced without any
intimation beforehand. He returned
from his big western estates and was in
the city only a few days to place the
property in the hands of an agent, after
which he left for his European trip,
leaving no indication_as to the probable
time of his return.
Iowa. Miners Meet.
_ Ottumwa, Ia., Aug. 10.—There 'are few
delegates here attending the state
miners’ meeting. It is understood the
Des Moines and Mahaska districts did
not send representatives, and will leave
the Appanoose and Wapello districts
to fight it out. It is probable no at-
tempt will be made to declare a sus-
pension, as it would be of no avail with
two districts out. ‘
Wales Would Sell Bis Yacht.
New York, Aug 10,—Thirty thousand
dollars—perhaps less—will buy the Bri-
tannia, the famous yacht of the Prince
of Wales. A commission to sell the cut-
ter was received by the Rudder Yacht
agency, and the boat is now on the
market. The officials at the agency an-
nounce that the price of the Britannia
is $30,000, but naively add that “an offer
of less than that might be entertained.”
Polydore Barnes Killed.
New York, Aug. 10.—Polydore Barnes,
printer and publisher at 12 Frankfort
street, this city, was killed today at Ja-
maica, N. Y. Mr. Barnes, who was 60
, years old, left home to go' to his place
of business, and in attempting to jump
on a moving rapid transit train caught
hold of the rail on a rear platform. He
missed his footing and fell under the
wheels.
This Prisoner Didn’t Get Away.
New Orleans, Aug. 10.—-Ex-Secretary
of State Will A. Strong, who is now
serving as a deputy sheriff, shot and
mortally wounded A. B. Cook in Mon-
roe today. Cook is wanted for bur-
glary. Strong arrested Cook, but the
latter made a dash for liberty. Strong
ran after him for two squares, firing all
the time, and finally brought him down.

An Octoge narian’s ‘ Suicide.“
Oswego, N. Y., Aug. 10.—-Sylvester
Turner, 80 years old, a retired farmer of
Scriba, this county, committed suicide
today by sending a bullet into his
brain. He had been an invalid for many
years, and it is supposed that he be—
came insane and killed himself. He
was well to do.
