KLouDIKE GOLDPIELDS. A Statement by the Dominion Surveyor For the Northwest Territories. , , Seattle, Wash, Aug. 31.———In speaking of the Klondike goldfields William Ogil- vie, dominion surveyor for the North- west Territories, discourages all stran- gers from going into the bleak country. He denies that any difference regarding the boundary line exists between Can- ada and the United States. He says: "Gold has been found in a certain zone in British Columbia, running through the Caribou and Cassiar districts. Pro- ject the axis of this zone northwesterly, and we touch the Taslin lake, Hoota- linqua river, Stuart river, Indian creek, Troandike, Sixty Mile, Forty Mile, American creek, Seventy Mile and Birch creek. N ow it is highly improba— ble that, gold being found at‘all these points, the intervening spaces are bar- ren, and we will do no more than say generally that we have a zone of up- ward of 500 miles in length, some of it in Alaska, more of it in the North- west Territories and much of it in Brit- ish Columbia, which will yet be the scene of numerous mining enterprises, both on the quartz and the placer, the former practically inexhaustible. “The conditions, however, are most unfavorable. There is a nine month winter, barrenness is almost total so far as vegetation is concerned, the earth is bound in eternal frost, and the ther- mometer often reaches 60 and 70 degrees below zero.” Says He Owns Skagguay. San Francisco, Aug. 31.—A Chronicle special from Victoria contains a signed statement from Bernard Moore, who claims the town site of Skagguay. He says that ten years ago he made appli- cation for 160 acres of land in accord: ance. with the United States laws as ap- plied to Alaska, had a legal survey and paid the requisite $400 to the proper offi- cials. He had just begun to stock the place for a dairy when the gold rush began, and now thousands of citizens of Skagguay are claiming the land he bought from the government. T111: HOTGHKISS 11611111111. There Is Still Not the Slightest Glow to Its Perpetrator. Middletown, Conn., Aug. 31.———The fu- neral of Bertram L. Hotchkiss, the young farmer who was shot and in- stantly killed Tuesday night, was held this afternoon at the little Episcopal church in Kellingworth. The murder is as much a mystery as it was when the news of it first reached here. Sheriff Brown has charge of the investigation and is working his hard— est and is the recipient of gratuitous advice from half the county. Yet ef- forts are distinctly inadequate. Time is everything just now, and too much of it ..as slipped away without one definite " conclusion being reached. There was a great c'ry raised when it was learned that young Herman Sachs, who had done odd jobs on Hotchkiss’ farm, had bought a gun. The suspicion against him was strengthened by ru- mors that Sachs had quarreled with his employer. Since, however, Sachs has ‘proved a pretty fair alibi, and it has been learned that there was no trouble between him and his employer when Sachs left the farmhouse last Wednes— day. A rather strange thing is that the house dog was either in a state of total paralysis from fear or else thought the presence of a prowler on the ground around the house at nighttime nothing un‘usual. The dog made no sign that anything urnsual was going on around him ur- io :m- tin-e the shot was fired. The adheruitr‘ of the theory that Sachs is ccnzi‘ecud with the murder use this dog 511..., -.H .-.:st him. Colorado Desperadnes at Large.

Elmdale, Kan., Aug. 31.——Shortly after midnight cracksmen literally blew’ the vault of the Exchange bank to pieces. Nitroglycerin was used three times, and the explosions were heard a great distance.

During the excitement the robbers escaped from a rear door, taking with them $1,800 in money and $700 worth of drafts. Texas Fever In Iowa.

It Is Unanimous Upon the Ila-establish- ment of the Hebrews In Palestine. Basie, Switzerland, Aug. 31.—At to- day’s session of the Zionist congress the delegates present unanimously adopted, with great enthusiasm, the programme for re-establishing the He- brews in Palestine with publicly recog- nized rights. A dispatch was sent to the sultan of Turkey thanking his majesty for the privilege enjoyed by the HebreWs in his empire. The congress opened at Basie yester- day with 200 delegates in attendance from various parts of Europe. Dr. Theodor Herzl, the so called “new Moses" and originator of the scheme to purchase Palestine and resettle the He- brews there, waselected president, and Dr. Max N ordau was elected vice presi- dent of the congress. Dr. Herzl seeks to float a limited lia- bility company in London for the pur- pose of acquiring Palestine from the sultan of Turkey and- thoroughly or- ganizing it for resettlement by the He- brews. He has, it is said, already won converts to the Zionistic movement in all parts of the world. In appearance Dr. Herzl is tall and handsome and is described as very courteous. He is a well known literary man in Austria and has of late devoted i himself almost entirely to the founding of the new Hebrew state, which he has remarked might be .styled a “Jewish Rhodesia, but with the difference that within a year or so of Palestine being acquired from the Turks I shall have a million colonists in the country." FATAL FAMILY REUNION. ‘Raiph Moore Killed His Grandfather and Injured Three Cousins. Coatesville, Pa., Aug. -31.-—-At a re- union of the Moore family near Morton- ville yesterday Ralph Moore shot and killed his grandfather, Reuben Segner, fatally injured Benjamin Moore, his cousin, and seriously injured Charles and Clarence Moore, also his cousins. The whole thing was done with a sin- gle discharge of an old fowling piece loaded with swan shot. The murderer fled, but was so closely pursued that he surrendered to Police- man Nafe. I-Ie narrowly escaped lynch— ing at the hands ofthe crowd, but was brought to this town and placed in jail. Them had been trouble between Ralph Moore and the other members of his family, and he was not invited to the reunion. He heard of it in the morning however, and went uninvited. Moore got into a dispute with his grandfather in the course of the day. He went into the house and found an old muzzle loading shotgun. Segner and the three Moores were standing close to- gether outside the house. Ralph Moore fired at the group through the window at a range of less than 15 yards. He then leaped through the window and escaped to the woods, but had not gone far when he was overtaken. Abbe anratul lie-elected.

It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in. jections, as well as in any otheI single-tube tire, it can be permanently repaired by using the quick-repai1 strip inside the tire. See cut No. l By injecting M. & W. quick-repah cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb. as in out No. 2, the repai1 No. 2. strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in cut ‘ No. 3. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve.” Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. Ask any bicycle dealer whether other tires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops, located in ‘he principal cities. N. B.—When you have a. puncture. get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may amaze it considerably. War We always sell Better Goods .1 the some 7 Bladder Disease. Bladder, Kidney and Urinary dis- eases are dreadful afflictions. Their progress is usually slow. Mon and . Women suffer for years, and many die at last in great agony. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is the one lmedicine [—1, that cures these dis- . cases. It lifts people out of sick-beds, and re- stores them to vigorous health. Strength begins to come back as soon as the sufferer begins to take it. “For several years’ says Mr. Richard B. Brown, a commission merchant of 306 Washington street, New York, “I suffered from inflam- mation and ulceration of the blad- der. My family physician was un- able to relieve me. Specialists failed to do me any good. I kept growing worse. I had been confined to my bed five weeks, and I didn’t think there was much chance of getting out Of it. Well, I tried Dr. David Kennedy’ 3 Favorite Remedy. In a week I was able to get out of bed, and 1n a short time I recovered com- pletely. I can work 16 hours a day now, and to Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy all credit' is due.” 4! all drug stores, $1 a bottle. CALF PASTURE BEACH HOTEL C. A. HUBBARD, Proprietor.
