HEART.
STOPPED EVERY THIRD BEAT.
But Mrs. Strope's Heart Now no Longer Lags but
Throbs Regularly.
From the Leader, ocvc,qnd, ohio.

In large, commodious house of No. 104
Huntington Street, Cleveland, Ohio, lives
Mrs. Emily A. Strope, widow of the late X. NJ.
Strope, and she is the mother of young man
who has been, and is now one of this city's
successful and energetic pharmacists. Mrs
Strope, who has lately recovered from serious
cardiac difficulty, when questioned by n re-
porter regarding her late illness, stated as
follows:
1.-TWO years ago, hod my first experience
with DR.. Williams' Pink Pills. For long
time was troubled with an ailment which
feared would eventually drive me crazy unless
l rid myself of 1t. 1t will sound strange, no
doubt, to some, but my heart did not beat MS il
should. Its action was irregular. There
would be two pulsations, or orperhaps thrco, and
then sudden cessation. My heart seemed to
rest for the period of one or two beats, and
then resume its action. Sometimes such
iapses. would not be so frequent as that, but
scarcely day passed that they did not occur.
IL felt as though something would strike the
heart with great force, and push il out Of
place. During that period, whenever lay
down to sleep or rest, my hands would hocoinc
perfectly numb and helpless. lcoWld feel he
temporary paralysis coming over them, but

Additional Locals.

The JOURNAL is "full' this week-of
news, and much matter is crowded out.
Read the Council and Commissioners
doings for several items of interest.
Hoods Pills act easily and promptly
on the liver and bowels. Cure sick
headache.
LOOK FOR THE FACTS demonstrated
by experience. Thousands and thou
sands of people suffering from the eff
fects of impure blood have been cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Joe Gale, while failing to get the
fish Commissionership had the pull
requisite to get appointed as deputy
at SIS per diem and perquisites.
1t will pay people to buy their
drugs at She11y's Drug Store. All
patents at great cut prices Paines'
Celery compound IS cents. castoria,
Is GEMS, Syrup of Figs IS cents. Our
motto is quick. sales and small profits.
Mrs. Matte \" Graves, State Or
ganizer of the w. c. T. u, will spend
ten days or two weeks in the early
part of September in Mason County,
speaking in the school-houses at a
number of points. Sunday evening,
Sept. 5, she will speak in Shelton, and
the week following it is expected she
will go to M ason Lake, Union City,
Chapman's Cove, Dayton, and other
points, being at Matlock the following
Sunday. She will also lecture at the
Forbes school-house, Oyster Bay
school-house, and at several Of the
camps, a full list of the appointments
will be published next week. This is
the first attempt of the kind made by
the Mason County w. C. T.U., and it
is hoped that the people will turn out
at every point, and give the speaker a
good hearing. Mrs. Graves has visit
ed most most of the other counties in
western Washington, and the people
are everywhere enthusiastic in their
praise of her.
Not one 'comp1aint has ever been
made by those using Ayers Sarsapar-
lila according to directions. OFurther-
more, we have yet to learn of case in
which it has failed to afford benefit.
So say hundreds of druggists all over
the country. Has cured others will
cure you.

Arthur Needham, who accompanied
the Shelton party as far as Dyea, re-
turned Wednesday night. He left the
boys we'll up the mountains Oh their
way and in good spirits. He went
over the summit of both trails and re-
ports them fully as bad as represented,
although our boys were making good
Roadway. Two Shelton men, Louis
Simon and another Frenchman Joe,
are going by way Of the Dyea trail to
Lake Linderman, while the main
party take the other route from
Skaguay to Tagish Lake, distance of
40 miles When Needham left the
Kinney brothers were within six miles
of the summit, and the others, three
miles further down, but they expected
to reach the lake by September 10Th.
The goods were being packed in ten
mile relays, Stanhope doing the cook
ing and the others the packing. Will
liam Shorter, Hank Villburn, Joe
Crockford, Orlin Stanhope, Geo. ORA
ham, Jack Morgan, Joe Matthews and
Fred Todd were together, with Shell
don and Spencer in charge of the
horses. They are sticking to the
original plans and will make it to the
Klondike if anyone does. Shorter is
the captain and the boys are working
well together When the summit was
reached two of the party were to go on
to the lake and commence to whipsaw
lumber for the boats, so that no time
would be lost. In going to Lake
Tagish one of the worst rapids below
Lake Bennett is escaped. The trail is
not so steep, but is full of large rocks
and boulders, and horses are easily
manned.
There are close to 10000 men all
the way between the coast and the
summit on the two trails, and proba-
bly, $4,000 tons Of supplies, and all
this must be packed to the lakes, so
few of those without horses will make
it this year. Grim determination is
written on every tace and few are Civ.
ing up at severe hardships, only three
coming back on the steamer with
Needham. He made $40 on a town
lot while at Skaguay. The town is
booming with all kinds of life and bus
mess and many are preparing TO camp
right there till spring. Mr.. Needhan
obtained much information on his
trip. but our space is limited this week
and we can say no more except that
all the boys are well and in excellent
spirits, although having the hardest
work of their lives in packing the il
freight uphill.
