ALASKAN RIVERS Rs.-SAN FRANCISCO,
Aug. 25.-Lieut. Purcell, who went with
Lieut.. Stoney to Alaska to explore the
great Putnam river, returned here yes

up the river, the party visited the newly
formed BogoslaY volcano. They noticed
little change in it, except that less smoke
and sand-spit was forming to the west
ward of it. july 8, Lieut., Stoney reached
Hotham inlet, INTO which the Putnam

the river as far as his large steam launch

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.

Conditions Likely to Make it the Great
Winter Sanitarium of the United States.
From my own observations, and
from inquiries made on the spot, I am
of opinion that the Yellowstone Ma.
tional Park possesses, in a high degree
all these essential conditions. In
elevation above the sea it surpasses
Davos; the great plateau of the park is
between seven and eight thousand feet
above sea-level, while it is stated that
not one of the narrow valleys dips
below six thousand feet. The noun
tain ranges, partly surrounding and
partly within the park, rise to heights
of from ten thousand to twelve thou
sand feet. I should anticipate, there
fore. that all the advantages which, as
winter resort for invalids, Davos pos
sesses from its elevated position. would
be enjoyed even in a greater degree in
the Yellowstone Park. The period of
permanent snow is longer, so that in
valids could remain there probably
until the end of April, whereas the
melting of the snow generally COM
pels them to leave Dztvos early in
March, when the climate of the valleys
is peculiarly dfifavorable for chest
complaints. It is to be expected, from
its greater elevation, that still clearer
sky and a larger proportion of sunny
days would be experienced in the Yel-
lowstone Park, while the wholes ONE
ness of the air would be still more
marked, owing to its comparatively
greater freedom from zymotic matter.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville Cumberland
Co., n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood o Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship-
smithing)w twas very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition |
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and I
had improved SO much, stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that / have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and I must have q
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and / will make affidavit to it, for
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters.''
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bittersis used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 81 90
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.

RAILWAY MATTERS
Cutsiug Immigrant Rates

A despatch from New York says that in
formation was sent out Tuesday night to the
soliciting agents of the New YORK, West Shore
& Buffalo railroad that 1t would meet the re-
duction made by the Pennsylvania in immi-
grant rates to the basis of ST. from New York
to Chicago. This fact was interpreted in rail-
road circles as indicating the perfect under
standing between the West Shore Company
and the Grand Trunk its Western connection,
and also the evident purpose of the latter not
to be laggsrd in the war of rstes. The Penn
sylvanis has committed itself to a vigorous
policy on the immigration traffic by announc-
ing that it would pay commissions to AGENTS
who secured immigrant travel to the West,
consequently opening the system of honoripg
orders on its lines, which it has not heretofore
followed. Its action will inhct the severe st
blows upon the Erie and the New York Cen
tral, which enjoy the largest share OF this traf-
ic. Railroad men doubt whether the Penn.
sylvania will cut first class passenger rates
from New York, as such step would hurt its
local business, while by slaughtering immi-
grant rates it car iDfiict npon its rivals M XII
mum OF damage, receiving a minimum of in
Jury itself. 1t is feared that the action of the
West Shore may compel the Erie and the
Central to abandon the policy agreed upon on
Monday to maintain the former rates on immi-
grant business, regardless of the Pennsylvania.
