Lspecial corresnonaence1

It's a veritable disease, this Klondike
craze. Wherever you go, people talk
about Alaska gold and the riches to be
had for the mere picking up. Although
the season is far advanced, hundreds of
intrepid men, made mad by the greed
fcI yellow nuggets, and daring women
in search of independence and wealth,
are determined TO reach Alaska's shores
during the present season.
The tales of hardship and privation
told by miners who have returned from
the new Eldorado have no deterrent eff

thinks that he or she will succeed in

success of his fellow travellers, but in
his own good fortune he has implicit
confidence.
Last Saturday l met young fellow

Like the rest of the Klondikers whose
sayings have found their way into print,

were simply ineXhaustible and that
men familiar with mining could not fail
to get rich, "provided"-and this pro-

holders of this concern live in all parts
of the country, from Maine 10 Califor-
MIA, which gives renewed assurance
that the wealth of the Klondike will be
evenly distributed. without enriching
one section at the expense of another.
The only organization which has
thus far exhibited hoggish proclivities
in connection with the Klondike gold
output is the dominion government of
Canada, which has fixed the rate of
royalty on all gold mined in the Yukon
river country at ~ Pc CENT on q week
ly output of $500 and at 90 per cent.
when the output exceeds $500 a week.
The greediness of this exaction is un-
paralleled in the history of modern
mining, and far exceeds that of the
Transvaal government in South Africa.
1t will be remembered that not so
very long ago Great Britain protested
most vigorously against the royalty on
gold mining imposed by President
Kruger, and tacitly sanctioned the ill
fated Jameson expedition against the
Boer republic. the principal excuse for
which was this same royalty on gold
mined by foreigners. And now a
British province IS guilty of the same
offense, and the action of its officials is
applauded by the home government.
Truly, it makes quite a difference

equitable feature of the Canadian roy

GERMS IN THE SOIL,
They PreserN Their Vitality and
often uread Disease.


a writer in the Journal of the Frank
lin institute calls attention again to
the danger of disease germs in soils
He says:
1t has been observed in France that,
in localities where animals are inferred
which have died of Charlton, the germs
of this infectious malady persist in
the soils for many years, and that, es'
pecially when cereal crops are cultivat-
ed upon such soils, there is great danger
of communicating healthy cattle with
the same disease. In one case it was
observed that many sheep which were
pastured in a field in which, two years
before, a single animal which had died
of Charlton was buried, were infected
with the disease and died. In like man
ner, it is entirely probable that the
germs of hog cholera may be preserved
in the soil for many years, to finally
again be brought into an activity which
may prove most disastrous for the OWN
ers of swine. Every effort should be
made by agronomists to avoid infect
ing the soil by carcasses which are
dead from any zymotic disease. Crema-
ton is the only safe method of dispos'
ing of such injected carcasses. The
Investigations of scientists have shown
that there are many diseases OF an in
fectious nature due to these germs, and
that these germs may preserve their
vitality in the soil. Among others MAY
be mentioned yellow fever and tetanus,
and the micrCoe producing the bubonia
plague, which retains its vitality in the
soil, and thus escapes entire eradica-
ton. For the reasons given above, the
agronomist. who also has at heart the
health and welfare of man ana beast,
can hardly look with favor upon any
of the plans which have been proposed
for the use of sewage from large cities
for irrigation purposes. There is
scarcely a time in any large city when
some infectious disease, due to the ac-
tjyity of germs, does not exist, and The
sewage is liable at all times to be con-
terminated Herewith.

MORE LUXURY FOR TRAVELLERS.
Something About the Omaha Roads Buffet
Parlor Cars.


Ever on the alert to provide the most
complete comfort and luxury for its pat
rons, The North Western Line, st.
p, NJ. q o. Ry., has just inaugurated
Buffet Parlor Car service between Mime
apolls and Chicago, which will not only
prove a delightful innovation with all
classes of travellers who want the best OBJ
tainable, but render daytime travel between
here and Chicago positive luxury.
The service includes two superb cars just
from the shops owned and operated by the
Railway Co They are named in honor Of
the twin cities, Minneapolis and "St.
Paul, are each sixty eight feet long, and
dark green, with gold trimmings, and are
very handsome. Entering the car at the
forward end, the beauty aud comfort with
in at once charms and delights. The finish
is in polished st. Jago mahogany, inlaid
with white laurel wreaths and leaves The
ceiling is of dark olive. with exquisite gold
trimmings, and is pierced with six large,
ornamental Plntsch gas chandeliers.
The body OF the car contains twenty-five
luxurious, plush-covered revolving chairs,
each opposite huge window. All the win
dows are beautifully hung with dark olive
silken draperies in keeping with the decora-
tons, besides being supplied with dark green
sliding shades. Throughout the floors of
each car are laid with heavy velvet carpets,
and opposite each revolving chair is an up
holstered foot-stOOl. Twelve large plate
glass mirrors are placed here and there on
the sides between the windows so milady
is never at loss TO know if her hat is on
straight. At one end is a commodious la
dies toilet-room, and at the other end,
screened from the body of the car by a
huge plate-glass window, hung with drap-
cries, is the buffetroom. Through the win
dow one catches glimpses of beautiful
chinavare, nnpery, and other things that
make buffet service delightful. Still back
of the buffet Is a capsciOus smoking room,
supplied with wicker chairs and everything
else for smokers comfort. At the rear
are the gentlemens toilet apartments.
Besides being the finest parlor cars ever
brought to Minneapolis, these cars combine
the interesting feature of a Buffet service
from which the passenger can select any
time of the day any kind of luncheon
to suit his appetite. and at very moderate
rates. Tables fit in opposite each chair for
luncheon, card playing, or any other uses
desired, and inviting menu cards with the
timetable of the trains are at the hand for
each passenger. OF course a uniformed
Ethiopian is at hand, and looks after every
body's happiness.
One of these cars now leaves Minneapo-
lis on Day Train every morning at 7:35;

and the other will leave Chicago Sis a. m,
