dixie IN thickness.

Warrington, July 2S.-The president
and Secretary Alger have decided to de
tail an army officer and company OF
soldiers from the regular army for ser,
vice in Alaska. sThe matter is vet in
very indefinite shape, but details viii be
arranged as soon rs possible in order that
the soldiers may get into the vicinity Of
the gold country before navigation closes
ON the Yukon river.
They win be sent TO their destination
via the Yukon river route, and the oiFea
of one Of the shipping companies ON the
Pacific coast to transport them and their
baggage and stores viii probably be ae-
cepted.
The exact location of the camp or post
has not yet been determined ON, but it
is expected TO be at Circle City. An army
officer now in the field, and who has had
experience in such matters, has been in,
vited to take charge of the company, and
an answer is expected from him soon.
The detail of men who will 60 will be
made from one of the posts in the west,
but just when IS not yet fully settled On.
The commercial interests for the terri
tory have requested that a company of
infantry and gattling gun brigade be
located at some post to be ehristened
Post Alger, near the boundary. 25O miles
from Klondike, and 1000 miles above the
mouth OF the Yukon river. Meanwhile
volunteers for service in Alaska are com.
ing forward.
This morning Secretary Alger received
a telegram from Captain Abererombie, Of
the Second infantry, Fort Harrison,

ing that the expedition to Alaska has
been temporarily abandoned. 1t has been
discovered that many supplies necessary

expense would be necessitated to send
soldiers to country where preservation

Is said to be rapidly freezing up, and af.

the trip has been pronounced iniudicious
at this time and postponed probably until

A little thing happened down at the
home OF Schilling's Best tea the other
day that cost the firm a clean $780, and
the most interesting feature of the mat
ter Is that they could have got out OF
paying IL II they wanted to-because ii
was a voluntary thing and no enc ex-
pected them to do 1t.
1t seems that. in the earlier part of
the missing word contest. A. Schilling
& Co. promised 500 each to the two
persons who sent In the largest number
Of Shilling's Best yellow tickets before

1t seems fair that the consumers OF
the tea should get these prizes. A groc-
er has a greater opportunity for col
lecting tickets; and then. too. he makes
