BACK FROM ALASKA.
John Quincy Barnum is Disguised With
the Trip.

Port Townsend, Wash, Oct. g.
Among The passengers who arrived here
ehls morning on the schooner Sailor Boy
from ST. Michaels was John Quincy Bar
num. of Murray, Idaho. Barnum was
one o: the Sc passengers on the steam
er Eliza Anderson, which was forced to
put into Dutch Harbor in a disabled
condition, where she now les. OF the
trip from Dutch Harbor to St. Michaels,
Barnum says:
One hundred and seven made the trip
on the little schooner Baranoff, on
which there vas not comfortable stand
ing room, to say nothing OF having to
do without sleep the entire time. AL
though the distance from Dutch Har-
Dor to st. Michaels is but $50 miles, 10
days were consumed in making the trip
owing to a strong wind which sprung
up when we were within 40 miles Of 81,
Michaels, and blew us so far out that we
could plainly see the Siberian coast. The
schooner shipped water until everything
and everybody was soaked and it TOOK
sour and a half days to get back to St.
Michaels. Owing to the crowded on
dillon Of the schooner. there was ac-
tual. suffering aboard and on reaching
st. Michaels, they were worn out and
the sight We met there only added to
cur disgust. The result was that sew
eral OF us took the first opportunity tc
get cut.
Barnum said there had been no news
direct from Dawson City received at St.
Machaels for four weeks previous to his
.eavhng and no news a possibly be
brought by river before next summer, as
ice was already forming in the salt wa
ter at the mouth OF the river and the
fresh water u certainly have been
frozen to considerable Thickness at thai
time.
SIN q month from now" said he, 81
do not believe there will be one hundred
persons left at St. Michae!s.
The captain OF the Novelty will bring
down with him all those having sufi-
Client money to pay for their board on
the trip, no fare being charged. This is
done simply as an act OF charity and
in the interest Of humanity.
Many persons have no: money sufl-
Client to even pay for their board on the
schooner and unless they can sell their
otItfit for cash will be forced to remain
at st. Michaels during the winter"
Regarding the steamer Eliza Ander,
son, Barnum said a enu launch Of
f1cer at Dutch Harbor told him that the
cd craft will never be permitted to leave
there in the capacity OF a passenger boat

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY,
\ Positive Cure Cor Dyspepsia.

Positive Cure Cor Dyspepsia.
This may read as though We were put
ding it a little strong because it is gen.
orally thought by The majority of people
that dyspepsia in its chronic form is
incurable. or practically 50. But We have
long since shown that dyspepsia is cur
abe, nor is it such a difficult matter as
at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that
lhey are continually dieting, Starving
themselves or going to opposite eX-
tremes or else deluging the already over
burdened stomach with "biLters,' after
dinner pills" etc, which invariably in
crease the difficulty even il in some
cases they do give a slight temporary re-
lief. Such treatment Of the stomach
simply make matters worse. What the
stomach wants is a rest. Now how can
he stomach become rested, recuperaled
and al the same time the body nourish>
ed and sustained.
This is the great secret and this is al,
so the secret of the uniform success o.
S;uart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy, but its sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
TO It's merits.
The Tablet will digest the food any
way, regardless of the condition of the
stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia according
% the directions is to eat an abundance
Of good. wholesome food and use The
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food Will be
digested no matter how bad your dys-
pepsia may be, because as before stated,
the Tablets will digest the food even il

nary food and place it in a temperature
Of SO degrees, and put with it one of Stu-
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, it will digest the
meat or eggs almost as perfectly as il
the was enclosed within the stom-
ach.
The stomach may be ever so weak, yet
.hese Tablets will perform the work Of
digestion and the body ard brain will be
properly nourished and at the same time
a radical. lasting cure OF dyspepsia will
be made because the much abused stom-
ach will be given, to some extent, a
much needed rest. Your druggist will
tell you that OF the many remedies ad-
