In battles by sea or land, the men of
strongest bodies and clearest brains are
the ones who win. In the battles of busi-
ness life the conflict is none the less
fierce and deadly, and the strong are
victors.
. In the pursuit of wealth many a MAJ:
loses health-loses the power to enjoy
wealth. 1t is not necessary. Few men
ever die of hard work. A man may work
as hard as he pleases if only he sleeps
well, eats well, digests well. Good diges-
ton is the key to the whole problem.
Good digestion brings sound, restful
sleep, keeps the appetite good and the
blood pure.
Good digestion is secured a'~ avs and
surely by the judicious use of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is a per-
feet remedy for all digestive troubles, and
beyond that is the greatest blood purifier
and nerve strengthener ever sold. For
over thirty years it has gone on its nerci-
full healing mission bringing back life,
and hope, and happiness, after all else
had failed Thousands have testified to
its marvellous efficacy. Druggists sell it.

FARMER REYNOLDS DRUGGED.
Met Two Pleasant Men and Drank
Koockout Drops.

1t was fortunate for Farmer John Rey-
nolis that he was coming into tow last
night with a load of produce, instead Of
returning bone with the proceeds Of his
sale. As the old man, W no lives la Prince
George county, Nd, accompanied by his
fifteen year-old son, was coming through
the Capitol grounds from New Jersey
avenue about Z 30 clock last night Mr..
Reynolds. who was walking beside the
team, was ac,usted by two white men who
Inquired where he had Come from.
From Prince George county, praise
Cod" replied the farmer.
Then you must be tired after 50 long
a journey. Come and have a drink
said one OF the men. With this he pro-
duced a pint flask from his pocket which,
to the eyes OF the agriculturist, contained
mixture OF rock and rye OF Old Bourbon
whisky. ItlocLcd tempting TO the ruralist,
and he did not have TO be urged TO Ia ke

liquor to know that the stuff had a pc
caiiar flavor, unlike any he had ever be-
fore tasted. He refused a second drink.
and, Immediately realizing that he had been
drugged, turned away and ran hurriedly
from the pair. When he reached the cor
ner OF Third street and Pennsylvania and
met Policeman Walsh, the drug had begun
to affect him, and he was unable to pro-

The officer at first thought that the man
was drunk, hut after listening t. mis-
story, sew that he was i'll, and took him
into Edmonds 4 Williams drug store and
telepocned for the Emergency ambulance.
In the meantime the old man grew dan
gerously worse and an einetic was given
him by the druggist. which relieved him
after a time, and after remaining at the
Pine rmacy for a half hour he was able to
go on 10 the market. He gave Policeman n
Walsh a partial description Uf the men.

and he had hut little money.

the air. waved his hat andcIapped his ha nds.
Rushing out OF the prisoners dock he threw
his arms around lis wife, embracing her
and kissing her agaip and again.
He then turned To lis lawyer and ELL
braCed him, kissing him repeatedly. As
the seemingly delirious man passed the Re
por.ers Ia ble he bent over and kissed those
whom he could reach.
The climax was reached when the dis
charged prisoner stepped upon the elevated
platform on which the judge sat and kissed
HIM before he knew what was coming.
The caresses OF the discharged prisoner
extended TO spectators in the courtroom, as
he embraced and kissed all who came in
his way. When the court was cleared

Famine Threatening Miners
Waiting at Dawson City.
EXISTING ON SHORT RATIONS
Returning Goldseekers Holding
Themselves In Readiness to Do
Anything That May Turn Up.
More Men In Kiondike Than Last
Year and Very Little Food.

New York, Sept. IL. "A correspondent OF
the Herald, writing from Yukon Flats.
Alaska, August 20, says: Food is already
scarce at Dawson, and men are waiting
foi each steamers arrival to buy up the
stores brought in. A famine is threat
ened.
We have just met the steamer ilealey,
with forty returning miners coming down.
That there will not be enough provisions to
sustain the lives of all during the long Win
ter they say is beyond doubt. They also
say that j { all could be fed W ell all the men
who car come In could easily find ELL
ploymeDt at 81 to 81 DO an hour on Bonanza
and Eldor ado Creeks alone. But men can
not Work on short rations In this cold eli

OF many rich mines. To add 10 the diff
Guilty the steamer Weare has been on a
sand bank, thirty niles below Circle City,
since July ct, and W Ill probably not make
anohter trip this season.
Frank Dunsmore, one or the heaviest op-
orators in the Klondike, says There sre

People should not come in now over he
pass for they can only add TO the difficult
ties OF those now there, and do themselves
no coed"
Another says there has been no exasgcra
ton as to the value of the mines. Il re
lieve that seventy tons of gold COULD ne

the Ki.ndike alone,' me states. IF labor
could be found In plenty: but with htue
food men annot work. You should let he
outside world know that newcomers AN '"t
expect to obtain rict mines by location; they
must work for wages or prospect, or they
can find no food.
"Hundred of men are waiting in Daw-
son for spnething tO turn up. lI seFefai
thousand more come, there Will be nothing
for them to do but prospect OF WORK 'or
others. To be sure men with -
mai @ god terms, but it takes considerable
money to buy even a small interest in any

Henry Bratnc,er. an expert, who pur-
chased the Tomhcri in Colorado fof the
Exploration Company OF Loudon, when
is controlled by the Rothschilds, came
into the Yukon lately over the ChilSoot
Pass TO look over the course for his peo-
pie ia London. An offer which he made
Of 500, 900 for one OF the klondike mines
was refused.
The day before the H-aley left Dawson
a nugget valued at $3.50, the largest found
in the Yukon country, was brought in from
tue Elondike.
There is little bullion on the Healey,
probably not over 81 so 200, although the
estimates run from 100000 to $500 900.
THOSE who are most enthusiastic over the
mines do not believe that more than
S3, 200 600 willie the total for the season
when the last steamer shall have left
Dawson. This includes wha went down Ivy
the Excelsior TO San Francisco and by
the Portland to Seattle.
Arrangements are being made To send
out three mails his year. Reindeer are to
be broken tc harness for this service.

otter Point. Il. c., Sept. 1.-The steamer
Cleveland has arrived from ST. Micheels,
Alaska, bringing from the Yukon gold
fields a story Of distress and disaster.
The winter has set in at Dawson, and
the two CHEF stores OF the town have
closed their doors, for they have nothing
to sell. There can be 10 question that
famine threatens the adventurous men
and women W ho made their way to Klon-
dixie. <
Hundreds OF unruly persons are flockinmg
to Daw son, and threats OF violence are
being made on every side. Indignation
meetings, heavy with uttered threats OF
vengeance, are being held in st. Michaers
by these who have little hope Of advanc-
ing M the river, and less hope of getting
back TO civilization.
The first signs OF winter are apparent on
she Yukon River, which is beginning to
freeze and in a few weeks will he closed.
Enormous prices are now being paid for
food in Daw son, and 1t is impossible that
more than four vessels with visions
can reach the place before the river is
mass of ice.
There are thirty-eight passengers from
Daw son on the Cleveland. There are few
miners in this party able TO tell OF pros
ptrity. Most of them wish to exaggerate
their possessions, and if one were 10 be
lieve IN, stories they tell, he would say the
ship carried 100000.
Just before the Cleveland left st. Mich
ael's members of two expeditions those
of the National City and OF the South
Coast-beld Indignation meetings, threat
enjng dire vengeance upon those who had
brought them there and were unable to
carry them furtheI. They had been left
stranded in st. Michaels s.. and could hot
possibly reach Dawson before ne xt spring.

SHIPwRECK NEAR JAPAN.

They Were five and a half days at sea

the scorching rays OF a tropical sun. Five
Gf the men became maniacs. All were so
weak they the could scarcely tell their
story Of suffering.
The steamer had thirty-two in her crew,
nine Of whom were whites and the rest
Malays and Chinese. Twenty-one of them
are missing, and il is supposed that they
all are lost. One of the most pathetic in
cilents of the wreck was the death Of
Capt. Scott The skipper stood OF the
bridge while his vessel sank with pistol
in hand. He would not leave the ship.
The boats pulled away, and as they lid
so Capt. Scott placed the pistol to his
head and fired.
