MINOOK GOLD FIELDS.
a Returned Miner Tells of the New
EI6orado.

San Francisco, Oct. 22.-James Dietrich,
a miner of experience in California, South
America and South Africa, has just re-
turned from Alaska where he spent some
time in the EIinook river valley. He says:
''While there have been 800 claims stalxed
out on the streams, Minook, Hunter Ho-
sier, Miller and Chapman. there is little
known about any but Little Minook.
'On the Little MinoOk the claims which
have been opened have proved very rich.
The pay streak is from eight to twenty
feet wide and six to twenty feet deep. 1t
is all gravel wash. That is an evidence
to me that the quartz will be seam or
pocket.
with the Birch and Minook districts
filled, the prospectors will have to get in
to the Russian and Dreckel creeks and
the Kouyukuk river districts. The latter
valley is 1000 miles long and the rich
territory is found some distance up the
stream. This is now reached by tramp
ing over the mountains from Fort Ham
ilton, a distance of $50 miles, across two
mountain ranges. With three sledges
in one sledge load of provisions, the other
two being required to carry food for the
dogs. This practically keeps all men out
of the district

the center of Ninook district, says: Dep
uty Collector Ross of Circle City has
made investments in the new fields.'
D. F. Baxter and o. c. Johnson have
purchased No. y on Minook- James D.
Bogue of Sioux City and H. E. Hubbard
of Chicago bought the Discovery claim for
5000. Baxter has also purchased a half
interest in another mining claim in Mi
nook and one on Hunter. No on Mi
nook is the one out of which it is asserted
122 ounces were taken in thirty working
days. The owners have refused $4,000
for this claim, but would sell for $50, 900.

FORGOT JEFF DAVIS.
Two Georgians Provoks the Scath-
ing Denunciations of Editor
Blackburn.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 22.-The Atlanta Com
mercial; a newspaper of some local celeb
rfty, whose editor, B. NJ. Blackburn, is
noted throughout the south for his devo-
ton to the memory of Jefferson Davis,
today contained very bitter references to
the failure to mention Davis name at a
Confederate religious service here last
night. For some years it has been the
custom to hold annual reunions and mem
orial services for veterans who have died
during the last year. General c. A. Ev-
ans, a conspicuous member of the asso-
citation, and DR.. w. W. Landrum, pastor
of the First Baptist church, conducted
the services last night. Blackburn says
that the failure to mention Davis only
shows ''narrOwness of soul and a con-
temptuOus effort to build up sectional love
at the expense of manly contention -
Blackburn compares General Evans with
Peter, who set the cock a-croWing for
while his blessed Savior was in the brutal
hands of his cruciffers." He says that
DR.. Landrum should have felt disgraced
at such scene in the south. He then
gives an eloquent eulogy of Davis.

PULLMAN's LAST CHARITY.
Gave $4,000 to st. Luke's Hospital
for His Grandson.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-One of the last
acts of Mr.. Pullman before his sudden
demise was the placing of $4,000 in the
hands of the trustees of st. Luke's hos
pital for the endowment of a ward for
sick children in the name of his grand
son, George NJ. Pullman LOWden, who
was christened August IA.
In this connection Mr.. Pullman wrote
the following letter to his grandson:
Castle Rest, Alexandria Bay, n. Y,
Aug. IA, 1897.-My Dear Grandson: In
recognition of the very graceful and
pleasing act of your father and mother
in naming you for me, and with the
purpose of doing something that viii be
most likely to give you pleasure all
through your life, I have placed in trust
amount sufficient to produce $3.50
year in perpetuity, and have direct
ed that it be paid out in your name for
the purpose Ct keeping in perfect repair
and good OrGer the beautiful Florence
ward in St. Luke's hospital, which your
mother, when girl, caused to be fitted
up in a manner most appropriate and
complete for the care of unfortunate
children. have also provided a fur
ther sum of $3.50 a year by which a bed
in the Florence ward is perpetually en-
doWed IN your name, so that any sick
child whom you may choose can al
ways have the benefit of kind care and
skillful treatment.
THE appropriation is effective on this
the 14th day of August, 1897, which is
the S9th anniversary of the birth of
your great grandmother Pullman, and
is the day on which the services of
your christening take place at Castle
Rest which was her summer home.
4 hope and believe that when you
become old enough to understand it,
you will find much happiness in always
keeping up in fresh and beautiful order
the work started by your mother, and
on your own account to be able to look
after the welfare of children who may
be less fortunate than yourself.
Il hope your life may be successful
and that you will always remember
that good actions speak louder and are
more effective in promoting the vel
fare of others and in influence upon
your own character than are spoken
words. Very affectionately, your grand
father,

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev F. I. Bell, a highly esteemed
minister residing in WeedspOrt, Cayuga
Co. N. Y. in a recent letter writes as
foIlows: '',Fhere has never been any
thing that I have taken that has re-
lieved the dyspepsia from which L have
suffered for ten years except the new
remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. Since taking them I have had no
distress at all after eating and again
after long years can sleep we'll Rev
F. I. Bell Weedsport, n. Y, formerly
Idalia Colo
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is re-
Tnarkable remedy, not only because 1t
is a certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because it seems to act as
thoroughly in other chronic cases of dys-
pepsia as well as in mild attacks of in
digestion or biliousness- A person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach
is OVerworked, all it wants is a harm
less, vegetable remedy to digest the
food and thus give it the much needed
rest.
This is the secret of the success of
this particular remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only to the
stomach but to every organ and nerve
in the body. A trial of this splendid
medicine will convince the most skeptl-
cal that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. So popular has
the remedy become that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can now be obtained at
any drug store at so cents per package.

LATE SPORTING NEWS.
Yesterday Was Geers' Day at
louisville.
Drove Two Entries to Victories
Over Good Fields.
Orioles Defeated All-Amerieans at
Cedar Rapids by Ho4fer's
Good Work.

Louisville, Oct. 22.-Ed Geers' day at
the Driving and Fair association was
yesterday. He handled two entries of
the Village Farm stable and both scor-
ed easy victories over good fields. A
periods of bracing weather hadfollowed
the rainy spell and the prospects for
the remaining days of the meet are ex-
celIent.
The fourth heat of the 2:4O pace was
first given and Joe Bailey verified pre-
dictiOns by taking it and the race. Four
trotters were given the word in the In
diana stake, the three minute class for
3-year-Olds. American Belle, faVOrite
in the betting, took three heats in ex-
cellent time, the fastest being made in
PIT.
Emily ruled favorite in the 2:14 class,
as much by virtue of Geers being the
driver as by her own merit. In the
first heat she left her feet and PhilOn-
ides, a Louisville colt, scored a pOpu-
lar victory, but in the next three heats
Emily trotted through and won an easy
victory. Philonides and Caid seesawed
through the last heats for second mon
ey, which went to PhilOnides on ac-
count of his winning the first.
Cadet was tipped for the 2:15 pace.
The first heat was won by Myrtle G.
and Cadet, who refused to respond un-
til they came into the stretch, finished
last in field of five In the second
heat he atOned by making the finest run
of the day; getting off last, he seemed
to be distanced at the half, but care
fully handled by Mccarthy began to
make up lost ground. In the stretch
he had caught the field, and pacing like
a machine forged steadily ahead and
good. The other two heats were

Passes All Closed and KIondikers
Can't Escape Till Spring.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Captain Hooper,
commander of the Bering sea patrol
fleet, who has arrived in Washington to
attend the seal conference, said today
that the reports concerning the scarcity
of food in the KIondike region are not
in his judgment, exaggerated. In the
neighborhood of Dawson city there are
he said, about 5000 miners whose supply
of provisions for the coming winter is no
greater than barely sufficient for half
that number during the last winter. Great
suffering would be the inevitable result
of this scarcity of food. Although some
of the more vigorous among the miners
might attempt to get away on the ice of
the Yukon, the chances were that a con-
siderable number of these would perish
from hunger and exposure.
All of the passes were practically closed
some weeks ago and many hundreds of
miners are now among the different trails
with little or no shelter and with insult
fcient food supply. Late reports, Cap
tain Hooper said, indicate that rich dis
cOveries have been made on MnOok
creek, a tributary of the Yukon which
empties into it about 700 or 800 miles from
its mouth. If these new fields prove as
rich in gold as is anticipated, he thought
the congestion in the Klondike region
would be relieved as soon as spring open
ed. Minook creek is comparatively with
in easy reach of St. Michael, as steamers
have little difficulty in ascending the river
to that point when navigation above it is
impossible on account of low water. 1t
was near Nnook creek that the last
Klondike steamer was compelled to un-
load her cargo of provisions, so that the
miners of that section are in little dan
ger of the food famine that threatens
other camps.
Captain Hooper expects a great rush of
people into the gold region as soon as
spring opens and he has no doubt that
the tales told of the immense gold depos-
it's will be fully verified.

HoFFER AND CoRBErr
To Pitch for the Orioles Tom morrow-
Large Crowd Expected

Everything is in readiness for to-
mOrrow's game between the Baltimores
and zAll-AmericanS. Dick Cooley has
been out to the grounds every day
keeping up his practice. He intend to
show his Topeka friends what he can
do in company with the crack players
of the country.
The only thing that has not been ar
ranged is who will be the umpire. The
place has been offered to all the diff
ferent young men in town who have
been seen in that position ones who
have faced the taunts of the Atchison
Corn Feds and the Junction City Jolli-
ers but none of them are willing to de-
eide the points for the two travelling
teams. Some member of the aggrega-
tion will be pressed into service.
The two teams play in St. Joseph to-
day and will arrive here tomorrow on
the Rock Island at 1850. They will be
driven at once to their hotels and after
dinner will be driven to the grounds in
several busses. The game will be call
ed at o'clock
COoley's contract with the teams calls
for COrbett to pitch and Cooley says
that he will positively pitch at least
part of the game. Most every town
that the teams play in want him to
pitch. He is to pitch Sunday at Kan
SaS City. He will probably pitch four
innings here and then give the place to
some one else, probably Hoffer
Cooley is enthusiastic over the pros
poets for a crowd and says that there
will be the largest crowd that ever wit
messed a base ball game in Topeka.
The street cars will run to the grounds
every few minutes beginning at 80 in
order to allow the fans to see Baltimore
practice. With their noted infield and
snappy work a practice game with them
is almost as equally interesting as
regular game.

BASEBALL IN TOPEKA.
Outlook is Encouraging-Mu All
Pull Together.

Pull Together.
A meeting was held last night in the
rooms of the Commercial club to talk
over the base ball outlook for 1898. 1t
was the opinion of every one that To-
peka should have a team in the West
ern Association next year. The fran
chises of the association will be given
out at Cedar Rapids on November 18th
and Topeka will have to hustle to be in
readiness to have her representatives,
speak their little piece at that meeting.
The last meeting that the Topeka pro-
moters will hold will be on Tuesday
night at the Commercial club rooms
and every one who is interested in the
project for 1898 is urged to be there. 1t
is positively the last call. At that meet
ing the final organization will be COM
pIeted, the board of directors will be
elected and the president, secretary
and treasurer and two representatives
VINO will attend the Cedar Rapids meet
ing.
Bennett r. Wheeler will organize a
committee to call upon the business
men for subscriptions. Seven hundred
dollars has already been raised and
81 300 more must be subscribed. A dill
gent canvass will be made before the
Tuesday night meeting. The business
men of Topeka have subscribed liberal
ly towards inferior teams in the past
and they will undoubtedly place their
names on the paper for good1y amounts
when they are assured that the team
will be composed of pennant winning
playerS.
