KiOndyke Advice.

Much valuable advice has been ex-
tended to Klondyke travellers and the
Chicago Record is moved to throw In
few kindly words of counsel, such as:
Eat nothing but food. Take pair
of snowshoes along and attach them
to your feet; the effort to wear snow
shoes elsewhere has never been sue
cessful. You need not take steam
derrick ard crane, the ordinary gold
nuggets being small enough to be con-
veyed easily by mule teams. Remem-
Der it is the height OF folly to choose
ii glacier as the place on which to exc
cute clog dance. Wool and fur are
preferable, on the whole, to seersuck-
er and cheesecloth for wearing APP
parel. 1t is well 30 hide potatoes or
other food articles in cans of gold
dust, where no one will think of look
ing for valuables.

The Cry of Hard Times.

1t is the fashion to cry ''hard times"
And yet one finds that the times are
much better than they were; that inn
provements are being made; that
work is increasing. One would really
doubt that hard times exist were he
to take ride on one of the modern,
finely equipped trains of the st. Paul
and Duluth railroad, for the crowds
are certainly evidences of prosperity.
The rush to the many summer resorts
along this line has been greater this
year than ever, showing that their
popularity is increasing. Everybody
likes the Duluth Short Line. because
it affords popular service between the
Twin Cities and the head of the lakes
and always consults the best interests
of it's patrons. For maps, circulars,
ETC.. apply to ticket agents, or write
to C. E. Stone, general passenger
agent, st. Paul, MINI.

Called the Bismarck Of tho Balkans He.
cause of His Courage.
The late M. Stambuloff, ex-premiez
of Bulgaria, used to be called 'the
Bismarck Of the Balkans. One of his
most dramatic passages with Russia
occurred during the war with Servia
Prince Alexander had gone out to lead
the Bulgarian army in person, leaving
M. Stambuloff in charge at home. 1t
was clear day, with not breath OF
air stirring, and the roar Of the cannon
was plainly heard in the city. M
Stambuloff thought the Servians were
winning the day. In their anxiety the
Bulgarian ministers applied to the Rus.
sian diplomatic agent for advice. That
gentleman shrugged his shoulders and
said it was no affair of his.
But, urged the Bulgarian minis
ters, "the Servians are almost at our
gates. You could stop them with sim
gle word, if you would" eyes, but
that word will not be spoken. On one
condition only will I stop them, and
that is that your beggar Of prince
Numbered M. Stambulof, she will
not do. No, not for 30 Russiasp'
With that M. Stambulof sprang into
the saddle and dashed away to the bat
tlefield, while the Russian agent sent
to his friends to come to his house to
celebrate the defeat of the Bulgarian
armies. A few hours passed, and then
the Bulgarian foreign minister got a
telegram from M. Stambuloff, dated
on the field Of battle, telling Of Prince
Alexander's magnificent victory and Of
the utter rout of the Servians. He hur.
ried with it to the house Of the Russian
agent, arriving there in the midst Of
the festivities. And when he told the
news the representative Of the c2ar, it
is said, ground his teeth In rage-West-

THE WACO MOB.

sheriff Has Prepared for Any Fur
thcr Denomination.
Waco, Texas, November 3.--Ths attempt
to take Jim Patterson, the negro accused
Of rape. from the Jail by mob OF negroes
last night was SO bold that contein-
plation OF the affair makes the officers
here wonder IL there is no place where
prisoner accused OF 60 heInious crime
could feel absolutely safe.
Waco has often been the refuge OF prls-
oncrs threatened by Judge Lynch and It
was presumed that the officials here would
be spared the pains OF having to. resist
the mandates OF that erbitrary court.
Sheriff Baker was astounded when he
saw last night 100 negroes lined up in
front OF the jail and heard the demand OF
their leader that Jim Patterson be given
over to them. AT first considerable excite
ment prevailed among the iLsky lynchers
aud trouble seemed inevitable, but Sheriff
Baker gave them to understand that the
prisoner would be defended as long us
there was an officer alive and this aided
them in arriving at a proper appreciation
Of the advice being given them by the
sh. riff.
No further} trouble is feared but an
extra guard Is kept on at the Jail. After
the mot had dispersed last night. 1t was
learned that about 100 negroes were sta
toned around the jail yard IN addition 10
those who appeared In front Of the Jail,
prepared for an assault on the jail at the
word of their leaders. None OF the ne
groes were recognized. II is doubtful If
any effort will be made to identify any OF
them as they did no damage.
Sheriff Baker is receiving the congratu-
latons OF all citizens today upon his
spellbindng ability as shown last night in
the face Of the mob. His deputies say he
waxed exceedingly eloquent, his effort
eclpsing anything he ever did on the
stump as candidate.
