Large Crowds Attending Professor Beery's
Exhibitions Nightly.
Great interest is being taken in the
performan ,es of Prof. Jesse Beery. the
horse trainer, who is giving exhibitions
on the Ice Harbor lot each night.
Scores of the leading citizens of the
city are attentive witnesses of the
brilliant results attained by Prof.
Beery. often in few minutes, with
the most unruly animals Last night
the commodiuus tent in which the work
is done was crowded with the best
people in the city. lmperfectly trained
and unruly horses belonging TO DR..
Cotton, George StrecEer and Col. Moore
were taken in hand by Prof. Beery.
and in space of time, wonderfully
brief were cured of their bad traits
without cruelty or abuse.
Tonight two very Vicious animals pos
sessed of the biting and kicking habits
will be publicly cured of their faiIings
The admission to these performances
is only 25 cents, and to any owner or
lover of good horse each lesson is
worth a hundred times that amount.

At this moment thousands of men are
standing at the crossroads of life. Death
in the guise of a foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other. For the sake
of few added dollars will they continue to
over-work and neglect the comrnonest pre-
cautions for the preservation of health or
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before it is too late? A man may do
almost any amount of good, hard work if he
will take care of his health and when he
feels out of sorts will take the right remedy.
The great blood-maker, builder and
nerve tonic is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

the appetite hearty and brings refreshing

their lives to it and have said so over their
signatures. Druggists all sell it and all
substitutes are frauds.

Early Wednesday morning electric
car No 151, ran 20 feet off the end of
the rails at the Fair Ground terminus
and created quite commotion, though
no one was hurt The wheels slipped
on the rails when the brakes were ap-
piled and could not be stopped on the
down grade. The slippery rails were
caused by the heavy weeds falling over
them,

Good News For Port Royal.

Washington, Aug 17.-The board
convened by acting Secretary Roose-
welt to consider the project FOR dry
docks, have been in session during
the day aud will continue to examine
into the matter as long as Admiral
Bunce can be absent from the New
York navy yard. The bureau of yards
aud docks is now having corndemna
ton proceedings made at Port Royal,
S c., preparatory to dredging a
channel to the dock at that place
This dock is large enough for the In
diana or any of the. battle ships, but
cannot be reached owing to the shall
low channel. Work of dredging the
channel would have begun before,
but it was necessary for the Govern
ment to acquire strip of land upon
which to deposit the dredging, and
to make channel which would tot
be filed up as soon as it was COM
pleted Early this month contract
will be let for dredging a channel
deep enough for the large ships

Stewart on Silver.
The Time Now to Fight fox
the White Metal.

Atlanta. Aug. l7.-United States
Senator William NJ. Stewart Of Ne.
vada telegraphs The Constitution as
follows concerning the statement at
tributed to him in newspaper dis
patches. that he had advised his
friends in the west to drop the silver
issue on the ground of return of
prosperity or on any other ground is
absolutely and unqualifedly false
The fact that there are abundant
crops in this country and famine else
where which gives temporary relief
is no reason why we should not seek
permanent relief by the only possi-
BILE means in our power, the remone-
tization of silver. The efforts of the
gold press to make the country be
lieve that the gold standard mas raised
the price of wheat and not short
crops in every country but this is in
keeping will, their false statements
with regard TO my position. The low
price Of silver produced by excluding
it from the mints and particularly the
recent decline produced by demoneti
zation in Japan marks the rise in
gold and shows the robbery and in
justice of con6ning the money of the
world to the commodity gold When
they point to cheap silver as the re-
suit of their conspiracy we point to
dear gold as the result of their ras
cality. The people will not believe
that the goldites control the seasons
and give the United States good crops
and cause famine elsewhere. They
know that it is the work of Provi-
dence over which the goldites have
no control. Their impudence i'll de-
manding credit for it is in keeping with
their entire system of deception by
which they are enslaving the human
race. Now is the time to fight for
silver. The temporary relief
which Providence has granted
should inspire the manhood of
the American people to vote their
sentiments at the ballot box. 1t re-
moves some of the excuses
of poverty and starvation which
voters made in 1896 when
they submitted to intimidation or
yielded to bribery and voted for their
own enslavement The only danger
is that the small measure of relief
which the rise of wheat has given
will not be sufficient to free the
voters of the United States from
coercion and bribery. That would
aid the cause of silver by restoring
to some extent the independence of
the voters. My correspondence with
people in every section of the coun-
try is very extensive and it informs
me that the people are Thoroughly
alive, and the importance of the sill
yer question :s gaining every day
The rise in the price of wheat and the
fall in the price of silver will stimu-
late rather than retard the irresistible
movement in favor of returning to
the coinage law of the better days OF
the republic.

State Board Establishes Beer
Dispensarles.

! Columbia, Aug 1.-THE State
board of control to day held its extra
meeting for the purpose of establishing
beer dispensaries in various towns OF
the State to meet the competition
from the breweries in adjoining cities
of other States under the provisions
of Judge Simonton's original package
decision. Quite number of such
dispeusaries will be established as a
consequence of the meeting. The
leading breweries of neighboring
cities bad representatives here to
make propositions to the State board
bout the establishment of agencies
of their respective breweries.
Among these were Messrs Herman,
of the Augusta Brewing company
Doscher of the Germapia Brewing
company, and Dunwoody of tie
Atlanta Brewing company Their
proposition to the board was that
they establish agencies in the various
towns of the State under such regula-
tions as the board saw fit to impose
and pay royalty to the State upon
all the beer sold Mr.. Dunwoody
wanted to establish such agencies at
Spartanburg, Greenville. Anderson,
Abbeville, Laurens, Union. Newber-
~, Walhalla, Columbia and Charles
ton. The board, after talking over
these propositions. reached the con-
clusion that it would not grant any
such privileges as these under the
law, but took the position that they
could go ahead and establish beer
dispensaries, each dispenser having to
be elected by the board upon proper
endorsement from the citizens of his
town. The board announced that it
was not averse to establishing such
agencies where the people wanted

THE MEANS AND THE WAY

A Safe Summer Journey and but One DAN
ger Spot.
The diggiags are up the Klordike to
the east Of Dawson. They begin within
two miles of the town site and extend
30 miles at least ON both sides Of the
Klcndike river. The district is about 20
miles square-that is, the gold bearing
district where the placer mines are. 1t
is On both sides Of the river and is COM
posed of two mining districts, known
as the Bonanza and Gold Bottom min
ing districts. The Gold Bottom district
is on The south side of the Klondike
river and is farther away from Dawson
than Bonanza.
The tributaries of the Klondike are
small creeks running into it all the way
from two to five miles apart. The
claims are located along these creeks.
There are not less than 40 of these trib-
utaries. 1t is the same way with the
Yukon. The whole country for 90 miles
between the Yukon and the Klondike,
up to the point where Dawson is stu
ated, is composed of creeks, and all
along these claims are staked cut.
The people who go there now will
have to look fer new fields. Pretty near
ly all cf the Klondlke has been mcnop-
olized arc rearly all the claims taken
up. Frc1n there they will have to go in
an easterly direction to the Stuart
river. That is about 100 miles east and
is the nearest district i'll which there is
any promise of gold development, and
that is uncertain.
The journey from San Francisco to
Dawson is not hard in the summer
time. When leaving San Francisco, a
man does not need to take anything
with him. He can get his outfit cheaper
and to better Advantageous what he
needs-in Juneau, because the traders
there have made it a stacy, and man
can get just what will meet his needs
the best
The Chilkat pass is not dangerous in
the summer time. 1t is defile in the
mountains about 80 miles long, with
IOSt al 1UNiGu tAsli1 QD ~ 9uO
summit 1t is gradual ascent and de-
scent. In the winter the danger lies in
the storms. which are hable to overtake
the travellers just as in any ether place
IN the r.ocnta;rs
Men c;,n cross thas pass with as lit
tie danger il the Summer as they can
cross any cther mountain pass. You cen
form some idea Of the difficulty os tie
ascent from the fact that if ycu turn q
horse loose or the trail he will walk
over himself.
The journey beycnd the pass is fine
during the summer, You have to get a
boat Or build one upon reaching Lake
Lindeman, which is 4 miles from the
summit. You go through Lake Linde-
man, which is miles long. Then
there is portage Of mile along
small river, which isshard to run.
Then you reach Lake Bennett, rs
miles long and terrible crossing. 4
