THE DARK SIDE.
Gov. Brady's Warning to Prospective
Gold Seekers In Alaska.
Experience Needed to BE Successful In Min.
ing-Take Years supply of Food With
YOu-The Venture VIII Require
From Three to Five Years.

KoKoMo, Ind, Nov. 20.-Gov. John
G. Brady, of Alaska, who was visiting
in this vicinity, has written letter Of
advice to the editor of the Union Dis
patch of this place, that he wishes all
Indianiaus and others interested to read
and profit by. The letter, under date
of November Z, from Sitka, is full Of
interest He says:
Before determining to come to Alas
ka to seek for gold consider well the
dark side. The country is mountain
Gus, immense GLACIERS filed the val
leys, most all the streams have swift
currents, large part of the surface is
covered with moss, which thaws
out but little more than q
foot in summer. In winter
everything becomes solid and pros
pecting must be done with fire. Scrape
off the moss, start fire, and when it
dies out scrape out the thawed earth,
repeating the operation indefinitely.
The means of transportation are few
and costly. Remember that the mos
quito comes to full development in
northern latitudes.
"A man needs experience to be suc-
cessful in mining. My advice to the
man who has made up his mind to come
to Alaska is to bring a years supplies,
and if he is not experienced in mining,
to work for wages the first year. He
is then in school and will receive
wages enough to save good
sum beyond expenses. When the next
strike is reported he will be able to
buy his outfit and secure a claim for
himself. 1t is not worth while to try
this venture unless you can give IL
from three to five years. 1t is best for
men to come in small parties, not over
four together. Parties coming in the
spring should arrive in Juneau with
nothing but such and buy their out
fits there. The stores are now well
supplied and everything necessary car
be bought there cheaper than to bring
it. The cabinet of Canada is threaten
ing to drive the Americans from Brit
ish territory. A large force of mount
ed police is on the way here. The
Canadians have been exacting tribute
in all manner of ways that will add K
the government revenue.
yours truly,
| JOHN G. BRADY"

HORRIBLE STORY
Of Murder and Mutiiation Of Americans
In the Congo Free States.
The Fiends Hacked the Dead Bodies to
Pieces and Distributed Them Among the
Attacking Party Hearts of the Vic
Tins Cut Out and Burned.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-A startling
and horrible story of the killing of two
Washingtonians and the mutilation of
their bodies by the natives of the Con-
go Free state has just been received
here in a letter to Mr.. Leo Harmon, of
1723 Ninth street, Northwest. The
men were members of a party who,
during November and December,
1894, and January, 1895, went
from this city to enlist in the
Belgian army for service in the
Congo state. Those enlisting in
cluded Edward Thornton, a commits
stoned officer of the national fencibles,
employed in the war department.; Lind
say G. Burke, Frank Bachelor, Harry
R. Andrews, Barry Sparlin and Mr..
Mellin or Mellen, who was at one time
non.commissioned officer of the
United States army. All except Thorn
ton and Mellin were members of the
national guard of the district.
The information received by Mr..
Harmon is that Burke and a party of
80 natives who were sent out to dis
lodge band of dwarfs who had re-
volted, were ambushed and killed. An
Arab who was with the command, but
who was some distance off at the time
of the ambuscade, states that he knows
Burke was dead before the natives
reached him, and that the most hideous-
looking little man he ever saw walked
up and cut Burke's head off with one
blow of knife. The. chief then began
to slice pieces off his legs and arms and
to distribute them among his follow.
ers.
There were so many of the fends
that the pieces were very small, and
before they had concluded there was q
free fight to see who could get the lit.
tie remaining. In some manner the
dwarfs became alarmed and left the
place, one fellow carrying off Burke's
arm. The Arab saw the cause of their
alarm as Windeey, New Yorker who
had command of another detachment,
sent out on the same errand, arrived q
few hours after the natives departed.
Windeey gathered up the remains OF
Burke and buried them. When Win.
deey learned the strength of the rebels
he hurried back to Michau and notified
the commandant Of the post.
The other Washingtonian who lost
h, life was killed on March 1, when
the troops under the command Of
Baron Dhanis revolted near Kabar
barre and assassinated number of Of
icers of their regiments, among then
being Mellin. The body of Mellin was
butchered almost beyond recognition
his heart having been cut out ant
burned so that his courage could mo-
again be used against the rebels by the
whites. 1t is their belief that unles!
the heart is burned and the ashes scat
tered to the four winds the spirit o
the man descends to his brethren.
Thornton is said to be in very pre-
carious situation at Basaka but a relic

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as
much from distressing kidney and blad
der trouble as the men. The womb ls
situated back OF and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason any distress,
disease or Inconvenience manifested in
the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty four hours; sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need doctoring If you
have pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently, or scanty sup
ply, with smarting or burninv,-these
are also convincing proofs of kidney
trouble. If you have doctored without
benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney remedy. The mild and
the extraordinary effect will surprise
you. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures. If you take medicine
you should take the best. At druggists

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overfows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that q resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them OF
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As
1t costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
live an existence Of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result Of
many years research as to what combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective In
restoring to men the strength they need,
1t would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to Fl. @. Odds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazOo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription Is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
cap afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.
