The complicated diseases brought on by
intense study, thought, care, anxiety, etc ,
are often of the most serious nature. Heed
such symptoms as loss of memory, universal
lassitude. heart disease, kidney complaints,
liver troubles and general breaking down
of health and strength. When thus afflicted,
when the least exertion causes great fatigue,
when life seems a burden, use the reliable

will afford you sure relief.

The passengers on Northern Pacific
train recently had thrilling experience.
The train found its progress interrupted by
the furious heat OF burning wood ricks
along considerable length OF the track
The train stopped and the rails were exam
ined in order to determine II they had been
warped. The Conductor felt sure that he
was all right, and determined to 20 ahead.
The Portland Oregonian tells the story as
told BY passenger:
We shut down the windows and closed
the doors tightly just before we started but
the air inside was like the b, cath Of a furnace
and the whole train seemed to be on fire.
The flame. licked the window glass say.

Alaska and Her Mines.

A gentleman who has explored Alaska
gives details of the mining region there
the Sti.keen River mines failed some years
ago, and Fort Wrangle, which once had
1000 inhabitants, does not contain over
dozen white people. A few Cinnamon still
work the pac.rs, making little more than
wages. The Silver Bow and Dix Basins
are paying well. Juneau and Harris, the
discoveries are working their original
claim. That still pays $40 day per man
Harrisburg is beautifully situated at the
foot Of perpendicular bluff, 1900 feet high
and has population Of from 500, in the
summer to 1000 in the winter. Provisions
are very cheap and the only Law is mob
law. On Douglas Island number Of val
liable quartz and placer mines are being
worked. The Stitkin mines are not berg
worked at present, but some valuable finds
have been reported of late, The Yukon
mines can only be reached by "a long and
tedious journey, by water, from San Fran.
sisco, or across country from Lyons canal.
Four parties are prospecting the Yukon,
but have not yet been heard from. Gold
is found In other parts Of Alaska In paving

many places, the seasons are SO short, the
climate SO wet, prospecting SO difficult on

SO disagreeable that until something richer
is struck than has been yet, there will be
little to attract the miner to this country.
The prospects, climate, and general con-
ditions Of mining in Montana are infinitely
more favorable than Alaska.

trusted; but when he gets to Deer Lode.
he is all aghast. He never dreamed Of
such thing as possible in this land Of
greatness and wealth. There by the Omen
street doors, where women and children
must pass, are groups of men around faro
layouts, and other groups busy at what is
there called "stud horse poker. lie pauses
in blank amazement, which is not lessened
when some more knowing traveller tells
him that the proprietors Of these games are
the men who really pay the local taxes.
Then he goes to Butte, and in being driven
through the city, to the mines, he sees, for
the first time in his life, the guided names
Of harlots blazing on the doors and signs a
yard long Probably the good old soul had
never seen faro layout in all his previous
existence, and as for this other evidence OF
vice, he had known there were harlots, as
he had known that there was hell, and he
had pretty definite idea that the abode Of
harlots were mysteriously some where be.
tween the earth and the other place. To
see them on the principal streets staggered
him."

a manifest difference exists between knowl-

common people know more OF law and
medicine, than did the heads of those pro.

undermining those old tenets OF theology,
and gaining giimpses of faircr and better

Mr.. Beechcr talked two hours and three.
quarters and was listened to with untlag.

abounded in keen witticisms and noble
sentiments. 1t was clearly distinguished
by originality, shrewdness, and intellectual
power. Notwithstanding conjectures to
the contrary, Mr.. Beecher's voice was

RAiLROAD PRosPEcT

Railroad matters are beginning to ex-
cite some interest. The surveying party
of the st. Louis, EmpOria Il Western is
moving through western Missouri with
the invIncibility of the Kansas brigade
in war times, levying contributions for
surveys off the defenceless cities of that
locality The invasion OF Kansas will
follow shortly, and we shall then be able
to tell of what material tie invaders are
made. II they mean business, as We
hope they do. they will merit cordial
welcome.
Meanwhile the st. Louis s. Emporia
people-whO are all here at home-are
hard at work. OF course both roads viii
not be built, but whichever gets ahead
the other will no doubt gracefully yield.
One thing seems to be settled, and that
is that there is no combination with
either one in favor of the Fort Scott &
Odessa road-and this dispOses of the
question of a crossing at Walnut.
The st. Louis s. Emporia, being
left to itself, will not care to
build up a town for other people and
will therefore pursue its first plan of
bearing southeast from Pleasanton in
the direction of Hume and SO go on to
Rich Hill, which it could not reach ex-
cept at great expense by way of Wal
nut. The coal interests of st. Louis and
Emporia lie between Rich Hill and
and it will be the special aim
to develop them. The Fl. Scott 81 Odessa
will, however, probably be built and
Walnut will be a clever little station on
it.
The crop prospects in western Mis-
souri, and Kansas are making people
feel good and they all want to avail
of the present opportunity to
improve their railroad facilities and will
lend helping hand at the proper time
to legitimate enterprises.
