You Can he Well

When your blood is pure, rich and
nonrishing for nerves and muscles.
The blood is the vital fluid, and when
it is poor, thin and impure you must
either suffer from some distressing
disease or you will easily fall victim
to sudden changes, exposure or over,
work. Keep your blood pure with
Hoods sarsaparilla and be we'll.

Notes From Alaska.

L L. Bales, who held down claim
near Mason Lake several years ago, is
in Alaska, and contemplatese exploring
new fields, as evidenced by an extract
from one of his letters: ''By the time
you receive this letter I will be on
Hanna lake on the Alaska peninsula,
bound for the head of the Kuskokwim
river, and eventually the Mckenzie
and the Arctic ocean, on three and a
half years trip through an unexplored
country, with party Of four, for the
purpose of gathering curious for the
Worlds fair at Paris in 1900"
He also advances new idea regard
ing gold mining in Alaska; in the
following. ''As to the gold excitement
inCook's inlet,is principally excitement
with few gold claims; and from what
have seen I believe this country has
been thoroughly prospected and mined
by the Russians ovec 100 years ago, as
there are old bitches, and hammered
irons, nails, old pieces OF axes, picks,
ETC., found on bed rock, but no gold on
rock; what gold is at rim rock"

The Popocratic Ticket.

Fusion was accomplished last Friday after
noon, by the democrats yielding the representa-
tive, but it was done with very bad grace, The
ticket finally selected is as follows.
Rep, s. D. Hicks and Sheriff, Jud Becker,
pops; assessor, w. H. Forbes auditor, w. II. M.
Dunbar; clerk, o. C. Hanson; coroner, N. c.
Campbell; supt, Leroy JONES' surveyor, Speed
Shelton; treas. ALI Fredson; comrs. 3rd Dist. D.
M. Duckworth, LIST dist. Henry Latham, demo-
Gratis, except Mr., Campbell,a hard money repub-
lican who resigned; as did also Leroy Jones,
who sees nothing the matter with Gunderson.
Very strong objections can be urged against
most of the nominees and it is considered weak
er than q straight democratic ticket would have
been. The best democrat was turned down in
the person of Assessor Fair BARN. the only demo-
crat elected by the whole county vote two years
ago, and an honest, competent official, who
treated corporations like common people.
