A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miser-
able condition. 1t was undoubtedly
a bad case of la grippe and recogniz-
ing it as dangerous he took immedi-
ate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
the many good recommendations in
cluded therein, we concluded to
make a first trial of the medicine.
To say that it was satisfactory in its
results, is putting it very mildly,
indeed. 1t acted like magic and the
result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in re-
commencing this excellent Cough
Remedy to anyone afflicted with a
cough or cold in any form.-The

Notice to the Cycle Trade.

p. c. Rutan's bicycle shop will
close about Nov 20 for this season.
lie will close out the balance of his
bicycles at very low prices in order
to put on a new line of wheels for
the spring trade.
Mr.. Rutan is we'll satisfied with
the business here and will have for
next season a much larger stock
then he carried this summer.
This will be good news for the
many cyclers as the price of sun
dries and bicycle repairs is low at
Rutan's. Watch for his closing day
and the opening one next year, due
notice of which will appear in the

Those who believe chronic diar-

what Mr.. P. E. Grisham, of Gaars
Mills, La, has to say on the subject
viz: "I have been a sufferer from
chronic diarrhoea ever since the war

cines for it. At last I found a
remedy that effected cure and that
was Chamberlain Collie, Cholera

Liver
Trouble

When the yellow flag Of quarantine
Is shoisted over a dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the cheek is sallow
and the clear white Of the eye is dyed
saffron there is danger. II is luer
Ho1ible. The liver is one of the most i'm
portant organs Of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails Of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs Of the
body become involved Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use Of AYERS Pills and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.
Il wds so Weakened by liner trouble that
could scarcely Iia my head. While in
this condition began the use Of Ayers
Pills, and finding almost immedicie benefit,
continued their use until wds cured Of
my complaint"

CAPT. RAYS REPORT.


Preparations Fer the Relief Of Stranded
Gold Hunters Along the Yukon Short
age In Provisions at Dawson cIty-om-
oIal Report to Secretary AIger.
Washington, oct 26.-The war de-
partment has received a report from
Captain Ray Of the condition Of affairs
In the gold region as he found them
from ST. Michaels to Fort Yukon. He
has selected a point for a military pest
near Rapid City, about 250 miles below
Dawson. Colonel Randall. who was
sent out to establish a post at st.
Michaels, has reported by telegraph to
Secretary Alger his arrival there on
Oct g. He says: "The detachment ar
rived here yesterday morning. Supplies
were landed in good condition. There
are about 1870 people on the island.
Good order prevaiis,"
Captain Ray maNes some interesting
statements IN his report to illustrate the
condition of affairs among the gold
seekers, and because his rer . 5 are
strictly official they are enti.ied to
weight. He favors the enlistment Of 20
Indian scouts, who, he says. would be
valuable as guides, boatmen and hunt
ers and would secure the friendship Of
the natives.
OF the settlements within the terri
tory. but few can be called permanent,
and new interests will necessitate many
changes. Several settlements have al
ready passed away when new mines
were discovered. Rampant City had a
population OF abovt $50 on the 7th of
September. The boJf weare was rep
resented by four spruce logs crossed for
a foundation for a cabin. The captain
says it is a central location and prac-
tically the head of navigation for river
boats drawing more than FIVE feet of
water. Forty Mile Creek and Birch
Creek were abandoned when gold was
discovered on the Klondike.
Speaking of mining operations, he
says the dense growth Of forest and
moss makes prospecting and develop
ment slow. Miners agree to having dis
covered valuable lodes Of low grade ore,
but the present high price of provisions
bars the working of placers or lodges
that do not pay more than an ounce
man per day. UP to the time the
boats failed to pass the bar at Fort
Yukon he estimates that from the
boundary to the sea there were about
1 200 people, not including those strand
ed at st. Michaels.
New Routes to Klondike.
Captain Ray discusses several new
routes and says he is reliably informed
that from Cook inlet via the head of
Copper river will be the shortest and
most practicable route for railroad COM
munication with the open sea-
Up to the present time the laws in the
country have not been enforced, nor

Makers of Bogus Money Captured

MakerS or Bogus Money capture ed
Frank and Chas. Knave were arrested
Wednesday at Riverdale by deputy
sheriff Kerwin on charge of trying to
pass counterfeit money. 1t appears
that one of the brothers worked for
Henry Mcnamara of Sumner but along
in the summer he quit work and took
his pay. Soon after he returned and
told Mcnamara that he had given him
a bad dollar. Mcnamara, being sheep
buyer, thought that perhaps he had
gotten the dollar in making change and
so gave the fellow it's equivalent. The
Knave boys then went TO stay at the
home of their brother-in-law, a Mr..
Swain living south of Elwell. Mr.. and
Mrs. Swain had been away for some
time and the boys were suspected.
Tuesday night Mr.. and Mrs. Swain came
home and not liking the appearance of
things, they gave the boys their walking
ticket. Wednesday morning they went
TO Elwell and tried to pass a bogus
dollar, but failing i'll the attempt they
started for Riverdale where they were
arrested and taken to the county Jail
waiting examination. Later in the day
their tools were found concealed beneath
a trap door in the barn floor at Mr..
SWANS.

Those people who are satisfied with
Mr.. Bryan's explanations of the cause
in the advance in the price of wheat
might do well to inquire of him about
the advance of wool. He says the
advance in wheat was due to a shortage
abroad. There is no record of any con-
siderable shortage abroad in wool, yet
prices of wool have advanced sixty per
cent. since the beginning of September,
1896, while silver has fallen twenty per
cent. in the same time.
