The True Remedy.

w. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa. ILL.,,
"Cheif," says: "We won't keep house
without DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used DIR.
Kings New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc.
1t is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

Clondyke Fever in California.

SAN Francisco, July 21.-The Alaska
Commercial Company has closed it's
books for the Excelsior, which will leave
for st. Michael's on the 2Sth. Scores of
people focked to the company's Office to-
day and sought to make up the 200
which the steamer can carry. A great
majority go from San Francisco, but a
numb Der belong to the interior of the
state, which is largely supplying re-
cruits for the Yukon. This 200 is but a
small part of the California army which
is mastering for the advance. Thou
sands in San Francisco long to go; hun
dreds have about made up their minds
to go, and scores, and perhaps hundreds
will go this summer, majority taking
the Juneau route. A great many will
let the season for travel close with firm
determination of going in the spring.

Street Parade at the Mormon city.

SALT LAKE, July 2I.-The second day
of the pioneer celebration opened bright
and the streets were crowded long be-
fore the parade which was to start at IL
O'Clock. Along the main street for sew
eral blocks the sight was such as never
had been witnessed in the city. Thou
sands of people lined the street, every
available telegraph pole had its occu-
pant, and hundreds of people fringed
the tops of buildings, some occupying
extremely perilous positions in order to
see the parade.
The numerous floats in the parade
represented about everything in con-
nection with the early settlement of the
West. The James Bridger float was a
feature. The old Union Pacific engine,
the first to enter Salt Lake, was run
through the streets with full head of
steam on, carrying an Oregon Short Line
baggage and a Union Pacific coach
labeled "Omaha and San Francisco. :"
Numerous military companies took part
in the parade, and local and visiting
bands enlivened the scene with music.

INSURGENTS ON TIE AGGRESSIVE
The Summer Campaign in Cuba is Fair
Iy Launched.

New YoRR, July 2l.-Tomas Estrada
Palma, president of the Cuban junta, has
received a letter dated July from Gen
eral Maxine Gomez, in which the gen
eral says:
cit is advisable to make this summers
campaign as active and aggressive as
possible. To carry out our plans cue
cessfully we will need rather than any
thing else steady supply of ammuni-
ton. For that we depend on the sup
port of patriotic Cubsns and friends
abroad.
''The. recent landing of several expe-
ditions in different sections of Cuba has
enabledrour men to engage the Spanish
with satisfactory results. The remark
ably large number of disabled soldiers
entering the Spanish hospitals IN the
last two weeks is the most emphatic
proof of our activity.
81 have received half-million rounds g
of ammunition from the last expedition
landed in Camaguay. 1t was conveyed
across the Jucaro- Moron trocha by Col.
Dimmas Zamora with 800 men. The
passage of the trocha by Colonel Zam-
ora's force shows that the barrier defen-
ded by $1,000 Spanish soldiers is no bar
rier to our movements. This last supply
of ammunition enabled our forces under
Major General GARLIC to move west
ward"

ANNExAT1oN NOT EEooGN,zED.
So Declares Count Okuna, Japanese For
eign Minister.

e1gn Minister.
VANCOUVER, B. G.. July 21.-Count
Okuna, foreign minister of Japan, says
regarding the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States:
The foreign office is not surprised at
the contemplated annexation. We sim
ply protested against it. The impor-
tance of the islands will be immensely in
creased by the construction of the Nicar-
aqua or Panama canal, and it is abso-
lutely necessary, therefore, to leave the
country Independent. In voyaging to
the far East steamers starting from Eu-
rope or America must call at Hawaii.
To have them Incorporated into the
Union would seriously involve interna-
tional interests in the Pacific ocean.
"Another reason is this: Annexation
would impair the rights and privileges
which japan is enjoying in Hawaii.
The protest was therefore entered on
these grounds. Leaving aside the atti-
tude of the other powers, the question is
what will Japan do if, under any circum-
stances, the annexation is carried into
practice in spite of the protest of Japan.
Japan must oppose it to the utmost.
Annexation must not be recognized"

Debs' Eloquence AvaiIs Nothing.

WHEELING, w. Va, July 2l.-This
morning opened with the coal strike sit
uation not materially changed in West
Virginia. The Watson mines, with 1000
men, hold the key to the Fairmount re-
gion, for Mononagh cannot be kept
closed unless Watson's men quit work.
Debs' failure to do anything with Wat
sons men at Riversville last night was
disheartening. but the organizers have
regained their nerve, and this morning a
general conference was held to devise
new plans.
The strike in the state as a whole is
regarded as lost unless local issues can
be made to figure sufficiently to interest
the men where sympathy lie lacking.

Local Quotations

The week closes with business rather oui-

for all commodities. Eggs are very scarce
and almost any price might be had. For

27 cents Unless unexpected receipts de-
velop prices are likely to go to 80 cents at
any moment. At 2S cents, the retail price
of 80 cents is too small a margin of profit.

now hold sls, 4s5,5oo in excess of legal re-

quirements.
The Financier says: The statement of
the banks of New York for the week end
ing October 9th shows a material reduce
ton in cash. the reserve having decreased
over $4,000, 900. all of which apparently has
gone to the interior. The money lost seems
to reflect actual shipments, although the
statement Is complicated by the adjust
ment of October settlements. which have
been going on during the week. The de-
crease in loans is to be attributed to stock
exchange liquidation since the market for
commercial paper and time loans has been
more and more active of late and good
deal of new business has been doing in
these lines. Some banks, in fact, have with
drawn their call money for the purpose OF
putting it into mercantile paper. The re-
duction in the loan item, therefore, repre-
sents, rather paradoxically, better busi-
ness condition. The banks apparently have
accepted prevailing rates as the maximum
and are taking advantage of them on the
theory that the heavy gold imports will
prevent anything like stringency on the
market. The heavy decrease in the re-
serve was unlocked for, but 1t is to be OBJ
served that specie receipts are already sup
plying the heavy drain of money incidental
to the interior movement. The gain in gold
was made up from receipts at this port
and from San Francisco, and counteracted
in part the loss in legal tenders, which the
banks report AS the specie now on the
water and engaged for shipment from Eu-
rope amounts to $6, 500 900, further losses in
cash will be replenished, and the outlook
becomes much brighter. The international
shifting of funds is now working automat-
ically. and the volume will be determined
largely by money conditions prevailing
here. While there will be no really cheap
money, 1t is yet difficult to see how there
can be an actual stringency at any time
this year. AS the gold due to arrive will
not figure in next weeks bank statement.
1t would not be surprising if further loss
in the reserve was noted in a short time.
