Locus street and drew up in front
Of Mr.. Snider's residence. The
gathering proved to be band of
unorganized musicians with instru-
ments many and varied. They
struck up tune that lasted about
fifteen minutes and played it with
the vigor and harmony of q cyclone.
1t was heard as far as Crooked
creek on the west and the father Of
waters on the east, even from Dan
way over to Beersheba. 1t omit,
however, when the window-lights
began to fall out and the bark zoos
en- on the trees, and then Mr.. Sni-
der stepped to the door and ad-
dressed few appropriate remarks
to the musicians which caused them
to disperse, one battalion going
east and one west. But this was
not all, for the Young American
Cornet band filed up soon after
and screnadcd the happy couple.
And also, after these departed, the
Jackson orchestra Of stringed and
wind instruments made it's appear
ance and likewise serenaded Mr..
Snider and wife. The music Of the
two bands was good. The next
morning Capt. Snider and wife
took the train and returned to

gasoline occur when an attempt is
made to ill the tank Of the lighted
stove, The opening Of the tank
and the sudden agitation Of its con-
tents allows the gas to escape into
the air, which rapidly ignites from
the flames Of the stove. Or it may
be that the flame is drawn back
ward into the supply tube, causing
the liquid in it to ignite with the
most caIamitous results. Gasoline
is the lightest liquid product OBJ
tanned from the distiIIation of pc.
troloum. Benzino is also Il product
Of petroleum, but is less volatile
than gasoline.
We clip the above from an ex-
change. Our advice would be-
insure your house, then move your
self and family about half a mile
before the gasoline has q chance to
get in its work.

The greatest fortress in the world
is Gibralter. The height of the
rock is over l,400 feet, and this
stupendous precipice is pierced by
miles of galleries in the solid stone,
portfolios for cannon being placed

perfectly inpregnable to the shot of
an enemy, and by means OF the
great elevation o plunging fire can
be directed from the enormous
height upon hostile feet. From
the water batteries to a distance of
two.thirds up the rock one tier af-

personal malice why don't it bring

"An almost certain preventive of chills, as far as children are concern ed" volunteered professional nurse, lis to have the children wear a small camphor bag under their clothing next to the body. A penny's worth of camphor is all that is needed. My plan is to put piece of champion as large as a chestnut in a small bag. This will last week or so The smell of champion is not an unpleasant one. l do not know if it is the smell of the champion or its stimulating effect that keeps the chills off, but my experience has been that children, and especially those who live in the country, escape chills, which are so prevalent in the autumn season, when this precaution is taken. Champion will ward off other troubles to which children are often very susceptible. The proven tive is an easy one to try and am sure that those who try it with the children will thank me for my suggestion.

More From KIondike.

The Klondike Tyre" of August II, 1897 contributes the following showing g the richness of that country:
 ''0ur esteemed townsman, Bud Gav- el, placed upon our desk yesterday a handsomely shaped nugget. It weigh- ed 26 pounds. We have credited him with three months subscription to the Tyre We are pleased to see that Mir. Gavel, who is one of our best citizens. is doing well. He is one of the sym dicate that expects to buy quart of whiskey Saturday night.
 "The high wind yesterday raised considerable dust Jake Loekenbill who was out on the Eldorado road with his team, says he was nearly blinded by it. When he came home he coughed up $73.s9. One of our great est needs is street sprinklers.
 Dawson Pattibone has finished his new well in the rear of his kitchen. It has now T. feet of ice water in it, and he has washed over Ss5,000 in dust from the dirt taken out.
 ''The widow Larkin yesterday met with a misfortune which will, we are sure, call forth the sympathy of the public. During the heavy rainstorm in the afternoon regular torrent rushed down the alley back of her house and washed so much gold in her pig sty that the pig was smothered. A sub- scription has been started for her ben eft.
 When Ike Sigman, the esteemed proprietor of the Big Strike saloon was fishing in the river yesterday his boat struck a snag; it proved 5000 pound nugg, He will have it taken out and use it as horse block in front of his place. Ike is always bound to have the best there is going.
 Large numbers of dead catfish are seen floating in the river every day. When examined it is found that every one of them has from to ounces of gold ln their stomaches. This careless ness in allowing loose gold to escape in the river will ruin the fishing un. less stopped.
 Bill Jacobs made a pretty good strike on the little Juniper this week. He struck plenty of gold at dedth of feet, but as the Jumps were too big to carry he closed up the hole and has staked another claim further up the creek.
 "Aleck Cameron put new fireplace in his cabin this week, but he will have to buy another one. After he had completed it he built roaring fire, but there was so much metal ir the stone it melted and ran all over the floor. He now has gold plated floor but no fire place"
