Wild Scramble at Seattle Board First
Boat Bound for the North
SEATTLE. Wash, July 20.-What may
develop into the most Stupendous
exodus of people from the United
States in the entire history of this
country, and rivaling the marvellous
settling of California in 1S49, began
here yesterday. The objective point
of the rush is the Klondyke
gold fields in Alaska. and the
impelling force is the gold-hunting
fever that now affects every man
and woman in this community.
Trembling with Impotence and flushed
with hopes and envy at the stories of
others wonderful luck, throngs of
half-crazed people, herded with sheep
and horses on board the steamer AllSi
yesterday, lest they should miss the
first chance to go to the new Golconda-
The stories of returned miners, loaded
with gold and tales of wealth still
hidden in the earth. have started a
fever among the residents of the Pa
cific states. The first boat to leave for
Alaska was crowded, and the fever has
spread so much that San Francisco
capitalists are planning to build a rail-
road from the mouth of the Yukon
river to the heart of the gold district
along the Klondyke river.

ical certificate which entitled him to
diagnose and prescribe for illness, and
SO he had surely cheated some practi-
toner out of dollar bill. Both coun-
ter prescribing and satchel dispensing
are source of constant irritation be-
tween the two professions, and at
tempts at more stringent Legislation IN
either direction are perennial.
From the druggists point of view,
real square fellow among physicians
will write lots of prescriptions, and will
write them in such way that the drug
gist realizes the greatest possible profit.
Thus a West end physician wrote pre-
scription last week for an ounce of aqua
distillate (ordinary distilled water) and
a few drops each of tincture of CHINA
mon and aSafoetida- Three bottles of
the cOncOctiOn were consumed. The
druggist charged three times IS cents,
and now recommends that doctor as
particularly able physician. What
would the patient say if he heard that
he would have been just well off had
he bought nickeIs worth of asafoetida
and mixed it in water himself?

by Fire.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, July 90
Fire started in the boiler room of the
Broadmoor casino, the 500, 900 pleasure
resort of Colorado Springs, about four
o'clock yesterday. No water was
available and in ten minutes all hopes
of saving the structure were given up
and efforts directed toward the Hotel
Broadmoor adjoining. This was saved
through the timely assistance of United
States soldiers camped at Broadmoor.
The loss will be 500, 900 to the Broad
moor Land and Improvement Co. and
$40, 900 to Happier & Miller, of Denver,

ance. 1t is doubtful if the resort will

OF Kansas Prisoner.
TOPEKA, Kan. July 20.-Gov. Leedy
yesterday recognized the better in
stincts of a criminal by committing the
ten years sentence of D. B. Hale, of

gushing the flames and saved the lives
of others He is an electric engineer,
and his services to the state has been
as valuable as the services of any two

on him, while he had got a lot OF
hard jolts himself At the opening of
the last round Corbett seemed sure
to win and forced the fighting, but
Fitz caught him off guard and land

the heart, and Corbett went down
shriekihg with pain and wild with
appointments and rage. And the
