A CHINESE KLONDIKE.
Why the Mining Camp Did Not Pros
per as Ii Deserved.

From the Literary Digest.
The present rush to the Klondike gold
fields revives interest in the "diggings' in
the 6heltuga valley. whose reputed
wealth caused many adventures to
Manchuria. A German Russian paper,
the Tageblatt, Riga, relates how these
gold fields were discovered, and why the
world suddenly failed u near any more
about them. Tee Russian government,
We are told, did not like the establishment
of a republic" which attracted Russian
diggers. We take the following from our
contemporary account:
In 1888 Russian prospector discovered
gold in the Sheltuga valley in Northern
Manchuria. He told an engineer named
l4ebedkin of his discovery, and the latter
departed with a party of workmen to eN-
plot the rich mines. He was, however,
an Incorporate man, and died of alcohol
ism, The men, left to themselves, began
TO work the mines on their own account.
The news of the wealth of Sheltuga soon
was told in the countries watered by the
Amur and in Transkaikalia, and thou
sands of men started for the new Ell Do
RADIO. Among them were adventurers from
all parts of the world-Americans, Ger
mans, FrenchInen, Englishmen-alto-
gether some 12,OoO men gathered there in
1895, among them about 800 Chinese.
Drunkenness. immortality, robbery and
murder reigned supreme. AT last the
diggers got tired of anarchy and elected
an energetic honest, but very strict man,
as their head, forming a little republic
for the purpose. The gold-bearing coun-
try was divided into five Districts for
each the newly-elected dictator appointed
a chief His laws were extremely dracon-

hence the culprit always died under the
lash. Men caught importing lewd women
received 400 blows with a cane. Two hum
bred blows were administered for disturb
ing the camp at night, 100 blows for drunk
enness.
Thirty men were hanged at the dicta-
tors orders on the first day of his term,
and for two weeks the CATO nine-tails
never rested. After that the camp was as
orderly as a Sunday school picnic All
those who felt that a community where
order is maintained did not suit them lelt
for pastures new and there was every
hope that the little republic would pros
per. But the Russian government dld not
like It, The Russian workmen ran away
from the government Mines and the gov
eminent did not receive it's usual amount
of precious metals. Russia, therefore
induced the Chinese government TO break
up the republic, which had been establish.
ed without the Knowledge and consent OF
the mandarins A force of 1000 horsemeh
and 1000 infantry with two guns, were
sent to the Sheltuga valley. The diggers
would not leave, battle took place ana
the adventurers were killed almost 70
man. only twenty-seven escaped rive
hundred Chinese were left to garrison the
place and the Sheltuga gold is now dug
by the almond-eyed subjects OF the son
of Heaven only"

WATCH.

Watch your footsteps; you may slip
and injure yourself.
Watch your habits; they may grow upon
you unawares and get beyond your con-
troll.
Watch the. tendency of the times. The
world is moving and changing every day
and you cannot afford to be left behind
Watch the course of events. 1t may
mean to you the securing of a fortune or
the loss of what you already possess.
Watch carefully the interests of your
true friends. They are always few in
number, and you cannot do too much for
those who have been tested and tried.
watch above ali things your health. 1t
is the most precious possession you can
ever have in this life
Watch for the first signs of a cold, a
cough, and symptoms of malaria, pneu-
monia, or consumption, and bear in mind
that there is but one thing that can check
these troubles quickly, and that is a pure
stimulant.
Watch carefully those who try to per-
suade you to take false stimulants, and
bear in mind that there is but one pure
sclentlhc medicinal stimulant, and that is
Duffy's Pure Malt Whisley.
Watch the effects which follow the use
OF this great discovery and you will find
that if taken in time and according to di-
rections, the annoying symptoms whoeh.
unless checked, win lead to certain sick
ness or death, will disappear, and you will
be by this means restored to health, and
happiness, and thus secure new lease of
life.

THEY WANTED HANLoN BADLY.
BaItimOre's Manager offered hi.
Money by the Pittsburgers.

BaItimOre's Manager offered Big
Money by the Pittsburgers.
New York, Oct. S-The Journal to-mor-
row will publish the following:
Edward Hanlon, the successful manager
of the Baltmores, was recently the recip-
lent of the most astonishing offer in the
history of professional base ball. The
owners of the Pittsburg club, which has
had poor success in the pennant fight for
some years past, desired to secure the
services of the great Baltimore manager.
They invited him to a conference, and
formally offered him a contract calling
for $4,000 "a year and quarter interest
in the clabsd Mr.. Hanlon, however de-
cided to remain with Baltimore. In fact,
Mr.. H. r. Won der Horst, the principal
owner of the Baltimore club, said if Han
Ion left the club he Won der HorsD would
Immediately sell out his interest. Failing
to secure Hanlon, the Pittsburgers en-
gagged w. H. Watkins of Indianapolis,
who was manager of the champion De-
trofts when Hanlon was center fielder and
captain. i.i3r
The. owners of the Philadelphia club also
made an effort to engage Hanlon, but
without success. Hanlon, who was at Ho-
boken to-day, said that so far as he knew
the Orioles would start the season of 1898
the same as at present He was disappoint-
ed at his failure to win four successive
pennants, but said the finish was so close
it was no disgrace to come second. He
felt that but for the unparalleled list of
injured players in the early part of the
season, he would have had a safe lead at
the close. He paid a tribute to the great
ability of Kid Nichols, the Boston pitch
