 SOME OF THE REASONS Why it is to the advantage of those in need of Skilful Medical Services to employ Dr Gill. 1st-He is the only regular graduate of Medicine
 and Surgery in this part of the State making
 TESaIaLE DIFFICULTIES.
 2d-He has had an extended experience of over
 9 years in hospital and private practice and
 has successfully treated thousands. 3d-Dr Gills "Combination Method" of curing
 disease is based on Science and Experience,
 the result of years of study and practice, and
 is most successful.
 4th-In the use of remedies the Doctor is ECLEC- SasTIC He uses nothing but the purest Vege- =t table Extracts and has everything prepared
 according to his own formulas by Skillful Chemists.
 5th-He is moderate in his terms and shows
 special consideration for those in poor cir cumstances who are worthy. Patients pay by the month and the doctor furnishes all medicine without extra charge. 6th-Dr Gill can be consulted on the most del icate medical subject in the STRICTEST CONFIDENCE, and ladies, married or single, can be assured of honorable treatment and speedy relief. Good board and nursing when required. Parties writing for terms or ad- vice must give full name and enclose stamp.

Fast Trains West.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-The Times says on
official authority that the Chicago & AL
ton company has no intention of binding
itself to any trans-Missouri line, and its
arrangement with the Kansas Pacific will
be no different in the future from what
it has been in the past. The Atoms pro-
posed through train service to Denver is
simply carrying out plan maturedi
months ago, but the consummation OF
which has been unavoidably delayed.
Kansas City.-The Wabash road yes
terday put on fast passenger service be-
tween Chicago, st. Louis and Denver, by
way of the Union Pacific. The time be-
tween those points will be materially
shortened, the run being made in sixty
hours. Formerly the time from st. Louis
to Denver by the Wabash was sixty-two
hours, and under the new arrangement ii
will be fifty hours.

Jefferson Davis.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2l.-A New Or
leans special says: Mr.. Davis suffers
from insomnia and difficult breathing,
caused by an acute bronchial affection.
It is evident that his condition is ex-
tremely critical, and he will not be re-
garded as out of danger for three or four
days to come. Should he have return
of the difficulty in breathing which at
tackled him on Friday night, or any other
relapse, the chances are unfavorable for
second escape from the death which
then threatened him, and it would re-
quire but a short paroxyism to prove
fatal.
His weakness is so great that he is un-
able to lift his arm or turn over on the
bed. His only food is beef tea, and this
he takes by the teaspoonfull. Mrs. Davis
still takes a favorable view of her hus-
bands condition and calls attention to
the fact that she has nursed him through
many similar attacks. The unfortunate
circumstances are his age and his great
weakness. For nearly year past friends
who have seen him at Beauvoir have
recognized the fact that his health was
failing, and that old age was beginning to
tell on him,

Te|egraphic Tidings
EXPLORATION OF ALASKA
Interesting Letters from the CHIEF OF the
Government Expedition.

Sr. LOUIS, Nov. 2l.-Letters have been
received in this city from John h. Nc
| Grath. one of the chiefs OF the govern
ment expedition for the survey OF Alaska,
dated August 10, ,.21. That part Of the eX-
pedition which he commands had at that
| time navigated the Yukon river further
! than any steamer ever went before, and
will during the winter travel through un-
explored land.
MIR. McGrath speaks OF the miserable
poverty and filth OF the Indian inhabitants.
Game and fish are very abundant.
1t is difficult, he says, to believe one in
Arctic land when you observe the luxur-
liant forests, green grass, flowers and
warmth of the days, but dig down ten in
ches anywhere and the ground will be
found frozen hard. At Mulato they have
dug twenty-five feet to get water, and the
ground was frozen all the way down. In
spite OF this, the weather is SO warm that
every man is going around in his shirt
sleeves. Mosquitoes are plentiful and
ferocious.
We reached Fort Yukon ON July 2, and
our parties separated. Tyrner and his
party went up Porcupine river, and | am
making my way slowly up to the bound
ary. Tyrner is the first man to take
steamer up Porcupine river. 1t is regu-
lar mountainous stream, raising with
every rain and falling Immediately alter
ward. Tyrner struck it at low stage and
progressed forty miles.
Fort Yukon is but name now. There
is not stick of one of its houses left.
The houses OF the Hudson Bay company
have been allowed to go to ruin. Moose
are plentiful and cheap, but the people
eat anything they can get up here which
will not poison them.
The miners are miserably poor. a
store keeper at Forty Mile creek had $l5,-
600 worth of bad debts in his books this
spring, and still am told that q man who
comes into his store without dollar gets
as good treatment as one who has cash to
pay for what he gets.k He gets the money
if the miners can make it, and if they
don't he loses it.
These frontiersmen stand together and
help each other through thick and thin.
Last year solitary miner was killed by
an Indian over at Koejubek river. He was
the first one ever touched. A big band of
miners travelled nearly 1000 miles and
hanged the Indian murderer, losing the
whole seasons work by their trip.
A second letter bearing date OF August
81, among other things said; "We are
four or five miles outside of the United
States line and are now squatting on her
British majesty's possessions. Times
have been dreadfully hard with the min
ers this year. 1t has rained nearly the
whole spring and summer in this neigh
borhood and in consequence the noun
tain streams have become torrents, wash
ing out water wheels, sluices, sluice- boxes,
ETC., and preventing the miners from do
ing anything. Wages are high Sc, when
you work, but they work so little that
they would prefer $50 per month and
grub. 1 don't expect to get any more
letters out this year nor in the spring |
have no dogs and therefore no way to
send them"

BERLIN, Nov. 2l.-The Emin Pasha re-

from Zanzibar stating that letters from
DR.. Peters, dated October 5, have reached
Lammo, East Africa. The expedition
was then at Korkorro. Everything was
proceeding satisfactorily. 1t is argued by
the committee that the purport of this
letter shows that the report of the mas
sacre of DR.. Peters and the members of
his expedition by natives is untrue.

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE,
Close Call for n Big District-No water
in the Pipes for Fire Protection.

The Sandoyal house, a large two-story
adobe at the corner OF Water and Sandoval
streets, was destroyed by fire at o'clock
this morning. The hose and hook COM
panies were promptly on the scene before
! the blaze had made much headway, but
when the couplings had been made and
the hydrants turned on the water failed
to flow. Then everybody stood around
in disgust and "cursed, while the flames
licked high and furious. Most fortunately
no air was stirring; else that whole district
of the city would have been in shoulder
ing ruins to-day. The hydrants threw
out only little thiCkened water, mud
and sand, and the crowd OF citizens gath
cred about the blaze turned over the
Water company in no uncertain terms.
1t was argued that this same state of al
fairs was likely to develop at any time,
which might ieopardize the Palace hotel,
the st. Vincent institutions, the Federal
building or any one OF the handsome resi-
dences about the city, and thus work a
great calamity. To-day public sentiment

have been aroused, and some people are

The property destroyed last night was
unoccupied and was a very old house, the
value OF which is probably $1,000. 1t be-
longed to the Ortiz estate, Luis NJ. Ortiz,

in rear room OF the house yesterday,
and it is possible that they left embers in

No Mans Land.

TorEKA, Nov. 2l.-The twenty-seven
men who composed the mob which Il
year ago murdered the sheriff Of Stevens
county in No Mans Land, during the
Wootsdae-Hougton county seat war,
were arraigned before Judge Foster, of
the United States district, to-day.
L. S. Attorney Addy made an appica-
tio1ffor their removal to the United States
court for the eastern district of Texas, in
dictments having been returned against
them by the grand jury there. The at
torneys for the defense resisted this appli-
cation on the ground that the Texas court
had no jurisdiction over No Mans Land
Tie defense argued that the territory
was under the jurisdiction OF no court.
The question is an extraordinary one,
inasmuch as it effects the title of the
United States to No Mans Land, and the
validity OF several Indian treaties made
many years ago.
