BESET WITH DIFFICULTIES.
Woman With a Revolver Resents What
She Regarded as Steamboat Extor-
tion—Trouble Ahead For Pros-
pectors Who Go to Skagguay.
Washington, Sept. 1.—'Letters received
here from the Klondike indicate that
mining will be carried on therei‘I-‘during
the coming winter so far as practiCable,
but that the dirt will simply be brought
up and left on the dump till spring
opens and systematic washing can be-
gin. The greatest difficulty complained
._ 'gas pipes have to be taken up.
of by the miners is as to thawing out
the earth in order to be able to dig. The
iprocesses now in vogue are costly and
[only fairly effective. It has been sug-
gested—and Director Preston of the
. mint bureau regards it as a. practicable
idea—that the miners should make use
of some such apparatus as is now em-
ployed in city streets for thawing out
; the pavement in winter when water and
It is a
:machine on low wheels, with a broad,
Eflat disk set horizontally and close to
gthe ground and so perforated at the
~ ,bottom that a large number of jets of
' flame can be shot out at the earth by a
,blower above. A modification of the
same idea is found in some gas ranges
for cooking flat meats. Gasoline is
,commonly used in these machines, but
it is believed that if some other fluid
fuel were more available for the Klon-
‘ dike region they could be adapted with-
: out much trouble.
The Skagguay Route Impassable.
Seattle, VVash., Sept. 1.-—The chamber
of commerce has received a letter from
the miners of Skagguay warning people
of the futility of trying to reach the
Yukon by that route this season and
asking some modifications as to duty.
It is signed by D. J. McKinney and
W. A. Saportas, secretary of the Min-
ers’ association.
Mrs. Josie Jury made a desperate at-
tempt to shoot Purser A. L. Parker of
the steamer Utopia at Skagguay on
Sunday, Aug. 22, and was only over-
come after a struggle in which two re-
volvers played an important part. At
the time Mrs. Jury produced her re—
volver her husband, Edward Jury, had
Parker in a viselike grip about the neck
and was intent upon choking him to
death. Pierre Chiroux, a French Cana-
dian who witnessed the attack, drew a
second revolver and interfered in be-
half of Parker.
Jury had 3,000 pounds of freight and
claimed that the steamer had promised
him delivery at high water mark and
that he should not be called upon to
pay excessive lighterage charges. He
went to Parker, who represented the
charter parties, but the latter gave him
no satisfaction. A dispute ensued, re-
sulting in a personal encounter, during
which Mrs. Jury tried to kill the purser.
Low Water Stops Steamboats.
San Francisco, Sept. 1.—A private
telegram from Seattle, “Task, to the
Alaska. Commercial company says that
the water in the Yukon river in July
and August fell to a. point lower than
was ever before known, preventing
steamboat trafiic. Northerly gales caus-
ed a. fall of the water to a. depth of only
two feet over the bar at the mouth of
the river.
It is said that the steamboat Weare
went ashore on a sand bar, and that the
Alaska. company’s steamboat Bella was
at last accounts trying to tow her off.
With this low water the probability is
that the fleet of iron boats now on the
way to St. Michael’s will not get up the
river till next June.
The Excelsior was delayed at St. Mi.
chaeL’s by the nonarrival there of the
Bella.
The Venezuela Boundary.
Washington, Sept. 1.-——The report of
the Venezuelan boundary commission
has just come from the press, in the
shape of volume 1, devoted to the his-
torical portion of the work undertaken
by the commission. This report, pre-
viously sent to congress, is short and
mainly devoted to an explanation of the
labors of the various experts employed,‘
and nowhere is there any indication that
the commission itself has arrived at any
conclusion.
Too Many Teachers Here.
Spring Valley, Ills., Sept. 1.—Trouble
is expected here tomorrow with the
opening of the public schools. Two sets
of teachers have been engaged, and
both will attempt to teach. The two
factions of the board of education are
bunchirg their teachers, and each side
expects to be on the ground early to see
that there is no interference.
Little Children Fatally Burned.
Fort Wingate, N. M., Sept. 1.—\"7hen
playing with matches in an old out-
building used as a. storehouse, little
Alice Winstone and Harry Arnold, aged
3 and 4 years, set fire to a can of oil,
causing an explosion. Alice was burn-
ed beyond recognition. Harry was bad-
ly burned about the head and will die.
Baggage of Returning Residents.
Washington, Sept. 1.——The treasury
department is engaged in the prepara-
tion of regulations to govern the exami-
nations to be made at the customs
housesunder that clause of the new tar-
iff act limiting the amount of personal
baggage of returning residents of the
United States to $100. »
Croker on His Way Home.
London, Sept. 1.—A number of friends
assembled today at Waterloo railroad
station in order to bid farewell to Mr.
Richard Croker and his family, who left
for Southampton, where they will em-
bark for the United States. Mr. Croker
was in the best of spirits and enjoyed
excellent health.

Mothers Keep Them; But
With a Little Light There
Need 99 None.
How carefully mother guards the se-
crets of her boys and girls. At night
as she carefully tucks the bed cloohs
round them she chides and warns that
mother will be angry if they repeat
last night’s ofi‘ense, softly saying to her-
self it’s only a habit, but I must break
them of it. This is mother’s mistake.
Tue children cannot help it, and sweet,
clean dry beds can be the resting place
of every child when it is understood.
that the cause is not a. habit but a weak-
ness that can be cured. . Active life of
the little ones tends to weakening the
kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina-
bil1ty to retain the urine. This is a
condition not a habit, and should have
the same prompt attention you would
give to the marked symptoms of any
d1sease. One Doan ’s Kidney pill, taken
tw1ce a day and- at bedtime, will
strengthen the kidneys of a child, and
in a. short time there will be no cause
to scold, for the so-called habit will
disappear promptly. Here’sa grateful
mother that adds hcr endorsement to
our Words.
Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130
Colony street, Meriden, Conn, says:
“My little boy of ten years of age has
always been troubled with weakness of
the kidneys, pausing him to wet the
bed. So ma joy mothers punish their
children for this, but I know he could
not help it. I read about Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills curing incontinence of urine
in adults and I thought they might
help the little fellow. I procured a
box and their use produced a marked
b3nefit at once. It is very seldom he
does it now and I shall continue giving
him Doan’s Kidney Pills until the kid—
neys‘are sound and strong. It is only
cut of gratitude that I permit publica-
tion, but the trouble is a very preva-
lent'one and most people from modesty
or diffidence do not speak of it. Physi-
coans do not appear to be able to cope
With the trouble and I consider it a
mother’s duty to tell others about it
when she has found a specific for this
terrible annoyance. ”
Doa-n’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box. 6
boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on re-
celpt of price. Foster-Milburn 00.,

A Point For the Prosecution, 3.3.... 1'.- '
mono Chicnso Case.
Chicago, Sept. 1.—When the Luetgert
murder trial was resumed today, the de-
fense asked the court to compel the
state to set forth by what means, ac-
cording to the theory of the prosecution,
the life of Mrs. Luetgert was taken be-
fore her body was placed in the vat.
Judge Vincent obtained the ear of the
court at the beginning of the proceed—
ings and said the indictment, which con-
tains 12 counts, does not state the man-
ner. of Mrs. Leutgert’s death. The first
six counts, the atorney said, aliflge
that she was drowned in a. vat contain-
ing water and caustic soda. and potash.
The seventh count charges that she was
struck and knocked down by some blunt
instrument. The eighth alleges strik-
ing and instantly killing her. The ninth
count alleges striking with some deadly
instrument, while the tenth charges that
she was stabbed with a knife. The
eleventh says she was choked and her
life thus taken, and the twelfth and last
alleges that life ' was taken by some
means unknown.
”The state has outlined the manner
in which it is believed the remains of
Mrs. Luetgert were destroyed. We are
entitled to any knowledge the state has
as to the means of her death.”
Judge 'Tuthill promptly decided 3;};
the state was not bound to specify the
as to .the means of her death.”
There was a greater pressure than
ever for seats and a great crowd was
unable to get in. One noticeable feature
was the large number of women pres-
ent.
The first witness was Charles P. Me-
landeo, a photographer, who identified
a dozen views of the Luetgert factory.
There were pictures of. the building and
surroundings and flashlight photo-
graphs of the basement and the fatal
vat. .
Mrs. Agatha Tosch, wife of Michael
Tosch, saloon keeper, was called next.
She Was a friend of Mrs. Luetgert and
visitg‘d the latter occasionally at her
hé'ii‘ie.
Mrs. Tosch said that on Sunday after-
noon, May 2, Luetgert came to her hus-
band’s saloon and bcugltf a glass of
beer. He was pale and excited and she
asked him what was the matter with
him, a question which he did net an-
swer. May 15 she said she saw hit:
again and asked him about the disap-
pearance of his wife. fife said he did
not know where his wife was and was
as innocent as the sun in the sky. She
told him she believed he was guilty, and
Luetgert replied that he felt like ta‘rlzg
a. revolver and killing himself. II?
would do so, he said, but for the chi:-
dren. Mrs. Tosch said Luetgert asked
her what she had heard from the de-
tectives who were about her saloon
and what she had seen or heard her-
self.
THB CUBAN REBBLLION.
Spanish Advices, as Usual, Report Suc-
ce¥ses of the Spanish Arms.
Havana, Sept. 1.—General Linares, in
the province of Santiago de Cuba, has
been engaged with an insurgent force
The enemy lost 2 men killed, and the
troops lost 13 men killed, including 2
captains. The horse of General Linares
was struck by two bullets and killed.
A Spanish column, consisting of 1,200
men of all arms, under the command of
General Luque and Colonel Sotomayer
recently left Holguin, province of San-
‘tiago de Cuba, with the intention of at-
tacking an insurgent force which occu-
pied a strongly fortified position at Sa-
bana de Becerro. The troops camped
nine miles from the enemy's position
without being observed, and during the
night the Spanish commander ordered
two guerrilla companies and three com-
panies of Spanish infantry to surprise
the enemy. The Spanish forces ap-
proached close to the insurgent camp
and then rushed upon it under a heavy
fire from two sides and captured it.
The insurgents were completely taken
by surprise and fled in disorder, with a
loss of 60 men killed, according to the
official report, and carried away their
wounded. The insurgent General Es
trada is said to have been wounded in
both legs. The troops lost 14 killed and
had 36 Wounded. .
