The Kloadyke Gold Fields

Are now attracting the attention of
the whole world, and the results OF
placer and quartz mining are fully
equal to the finds of nuggets in the
early California days and extraordin-
airy inducements are being offered to
prospectors, practical miners and in
vestors.
BY next spring the gold fever will
have taken possession of thousands
of people, and the Western roads will
have all they can do to transport the
fortune hunters.
The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway, and its connecting lines, offer
the best facilities for reaching the
Alaska gold regions.

A Modern
Lazarus,

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One Of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated, and their ef-
forts to cure 1t meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con-
sumption nine times out of ten, SO that
it Is important for this reason that i'm
mediate attention be given to all chill
dren who inherit the slightest faint.
Mrs. s. 8. Mabry, goo Elm ST., Macon,
Ca, writes:
my boy, Charlie, inherited a scrofu-
lous blood faint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that it was impossible to
dress him for three years.

A New Gas Company.

Since the action of the city coun-
Gil on last Tuesday night, signify
ing it's willingness to give a fran
chise to another gas company in
this place, a great deal of talk about
the same has been INDUCED in and
some practical steps have been TAX
en-. For some reason many of our
business men believe that the pres
ent gas company is not dealing fair
ly with this place and that its ac-
ton has been the cause of many irf-
dustries not locating here. This
feeling has been intensified by the
recent increase Of price charged for
gas for the glass factories. Their
price is said to be so high that no
enterprise can profitably use it. I'm
less the price is reduced, or other
gas furnished, coal will have to be
substituted. If it is to be policy OF
the gas company to keep the price of
its gas beyond the reach of indus
tries, then Fairmont will have to
take care of itself. 1t has been able
to do so at all times in the past and
we are sure it will meet this emer-
gency. We are right in the gas belt.
If gas cannot be purchased, as other
companies do, there is plenty of gas
territory yet in the hands of the peo-
pie from which an abundant supply
can be gotten. The only question
then is one of money. Can it be
raised? We think so without the
least difficulty. We have heard OF
one concern which would take ten
thousand dollars of the stock, and a
gentleman, who knows our people
assures us that he could raise $780,
900 in an hour. The crisis has been
reached. Something has to be done
or the business of our city will suf-
fer. What will be done will assume
shape very soon.-Fdirmont Indea.

DEATH OF A NOTED GIANT.
The Chinaman Chang, Who Was Not Les
Than Nine Feet in Height.

The Chinaman Chang, Who Was Not Less
Than Nine Feet in Height.
The famous Chinese giant, Chang,
died at Bournemouth, England, No
rember 5. Chang had been seen several
times in America, says the New York
Herald. Because of a prevailing super
stition among the Chinese people
his height was never measured, as
they believed that death would imme-
diately follow the measurement. But
there are none who have observed him
or who have stood up beside him who
estimated his stature at less than nine
feet. His physical proportions were
very symmetrical and his strength was
hcrculean. Having Travelled and exhib-
tied throughout the civilized globe he
acquired and spoke with fucncy five
different languages-English, Ger
man, French, Italian and Spanish. He
was very companionable man and
delighted to meet and converse with
intelligent men and women.
Chang was born in 1847 at Wang
Hue, near Pekin, China. His parents,
who are still living, are large tea and
silk growers, and are Independent.
There is nothing in their constitution
nor that of their progenitors to indi-
cate the possibility of transmitting
gigantic proportions to their extraor-
dinary son. On the contrary, Chang's
parents are about the average size of
Chinese people, who are well known
to be rather under the ordinary size
At his birth there was nothing to in
dicate that he was to grow to his pres
ent stature, and up to the age of nearly
six years his height did not exceed
most children of his age. After short
illness he began to assume such g1gan-
tic proportions that his parents were
much alarmed at the growth OF their
huge Son. At the age of twelve he
was equal to the height of his father
and the generality of the neighboring
people. The phenomenon of his being
as tall as man, and yet showing all
the habits and actions of child,
caused him to become the wonder and
astonishment of the neighborhood. AT
the same time he suffered great per-
sonal discomfort, for the men would
not associate with him and the chill
dren would not play with him. At the
age of eighteen he commenced to ex-
hibit himself in public.
Chang was here in 1880, in 1888, and
IN 1886. After his last visit here he re-
turned to his native land to marry
Chinese beauty. 1t was his intention
at that time to come back to America
and to settle down in the west. He
used to wear a watch given him by
Queen Victoria which weighed two
nonndc and a half and had a chain
nine feet long, which barely reached
around his neck and down to his vest
pocket. He had large stock of gloves
and jewelry presented to him by royal
and other distinguished personages. :.

FAIR WAS A DRAIN.
Other Cities Grudge the Millions Spent
in Going to Chicago.

Other Cities Grudge the Millions Spent
in Going to Chicago.
The close of the worlds fair. must
have an important effect upon the
business condition of the country, says
the New York Post. For six months
there has been steady drain of
money from all parts of the nation
into Chicago-money which but for
the exposition would have been ex-
pended in thousands of cities and
towns. Millions of people went to Chi
cago between the 1st of May and the
1st of November, and spent on the
average a large sum. for the round
trip. The st. Paul Pioneer Press esti-
mates that there must have been at
least 100000 visitors from Minnesota,
and that it cost them on an average
$40 apiece for the journey and $50 ex-
penses in Chicago. This would make
S., 900, 600 that was taken out of Mime
sofa by the exposition. We believe
that this not an ovep-estimate, We
observed the other day statement In
an Iowa paper that no fewer than $50
people had gone to Chicago during the
season from one county seat in that
state, and although large proportion
of them went on cheap excursions,
their average expenditures were esti-
mated at SS5 apiece. While there was
a great number of visitors from the
city and vicinity who paid but little,
the expense was heavy for people from
a distance, and there was constant
stream to Chicago from the remoter
parts of the country.
If it be estimated that the 81, 500, 900
admissions represented no more than
1000, ,OOO separate individuals, and that
the average expenditures were as little
as S25, this would mean the diversion
of S100, ZOO, 900 from the ordinary chan
nels of trade into the treasury of the
fair, the receipts of transportation
companies, the pockets of Chicago ho-
tel and clearinghouse keepers, and
the other classes who levied toll upon
the travellers. It must be remembered,
too, that the large part of this money
came not from the wealthy, but from
people who were for rced to save in
order to raise the necessary amount,
and who consequently refrained from
expenditures at home which they
would otherwise have made. In this
way the fair has aggravated the nor
NAL effect of the financial depression
in almost every community. Its close
will arrest the streams of money which
from thousands of points for half a
year have been flowing toward Chica-
go, and will thus have a very percepti-
BILE influence in improving the business
situation

Instructors Sometimes Find Their Pupils

A good joke is told on one of the staff
of the Ohio medical college, says the
Cincinnati Times-Star. In n lecture to
the students he advised them when they
came to practice to always carry in their
buggics standard textbook, which
they could consult when IN doubt as to
the proper course OF treatment. He said
they could excuse themselves from n
patient on the prcteTf t;,at they wished
to see if their horse was standing or
that they had LETT some particular med
icinc in the buggy. The students were
very attentive. y few days later one of
them could not answer some pretty
tough questions, and when the doctor
expressed surprise he grabbed text
book and said in q measured tone:
Excuse me, doctor, fear ny horse is
not standing. hitched him in n hurry
10 get by your side" He then retreated
to the hallway, found the answers to
the hardest questions, and, returning,
answered them all correctly. The doc
tor appreciated the situation and was
relieved when the students Fuse did>not
become contagious.

THE PRESS IN THE ARCTIC
Queer Publications of the Land of the
EsQuimaux.

Esquimaux.
There exist at present several "jour.
mails" that make their appearance but
once year. says a writer in Scien,
tific American. Literally, of course,
they are not Journals-dailies- an
nuals. They are published within the
confines of the north polar circle. The
Esquimau Bulletin, for example, is
edited near Cape Prince of Wales, on
Behring strait.
Here, in a village inhabited by Esqui-
maux, the English missionaries have
established a school, and as but one
steamer lands at this place, and that
but once year, the news that it brings
is consigned to sheet of paper printed
with the hektograph. Its size is eight
by twelve inches. The paper is very
thick, and but one surface is used.
This Esquimau Bulletin. in a SUBJ
head, claims TO be the ''only yearly
paper" This, however, is an error, for
there is an annual sheet published at
Godthaab, in Greenland. where small
printing office was established in 1862,
whence about two hundred and eighty
sheets and many photographic prints
have been issued. The journal in ques-
ton is entitled Atnagagdlintit, naling-
inarmik tusaruminasassum;l; that is:
Something for reading, accounts OF
all sorts of entertaining subjects"
The language is that of Greenland, a
dialect of the Esquimau. There is still
another periodical published in Green
land, under the name of Kaladlit
