From Dawson.
They Are Now Coming Toward
Dyea on the Route Over the
Mountains.
Indian Mail Carrier Says Not
25 Per Cent Will Ever Get
Out Alive.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 14.-By steamer
Topeka from Dyea news is received
that more than 1000 i'll provisioned
men stampeded from Dawson during
the latter part of October and, impelled
ty the haunting fears of famine, are
now madly forcing their way over the
mountains.
AUX, the Indian mail carrier who
brings this report, left the Yukon capi-
tai fully 10 days after the Dalton party.
He says the vanguard of the terror
stricken army is following less than q
week behind him. AUX declares that
fully rs per cent of the stampeding
army will never live to recite the ter
rors of the fight north. The river
steamers Bella and Weare, it now ap.
pears, did not land more than 100 tons
Of provisions on their arrival in Daw.
son in the early part of October, owing
to their having been held up at Circle
City.
The only bright view of the situation
is that the crossing of the pass above
Dyea and Skaguay has lately been
greatly improved and within month
will be in excellent condition.
Dyea parties. headed by George r.
Ulmer, propose to go to the relief Of the
hungry at Dawson. They will make
the United States government an offer
to deliver $4,000 pounds of provisions
within 30 days after the time of start.

II year Lucy Banning went to visit friends
in San Francisco, and John followed A
certain restaurant in San Francisco is
noted for its private supper rooms, delicate
cooking and an air of fascinating wicked
ness. Miss Banning had heard many
stories about this resort and persuaded
John to take her to quiet little lunch at
the place.. She Slipped away from her
hostess and met him clandcstinely. After
the lunch they both sat at the table In ST.
lence. Finally ench urged the other to tell
what he or she was thinking of, and nfter
some hesitation they exchanged notes
across the table. Both notes read, LET
us run off and get married. 1t was then
about O'Clock, hut by liberal use of
tho telegraph and cab hire license was
secured, minister found, and Mr.. and
Mrs. John Bradbury returned to his rooms
in the Palace hotol.
In the morning Mrs. Bradbury lacked
even the necessary articles to make her
toilet. John stepped across tho way to the
Tiffany of the Pacific coast and returned,
followed by two mon with silver toilet
set big enough to I'll trunk. After they
came home and were forgiven 10 bought
bred old Spanish lady ms duenna and
housekeeper and settled down.
The couples next public appearance was
with fourth hand coach which John
Bradbury, with his. wife and four guests,
tipped over high cliff near Santa Bar
bara. All were badly shaken up, and John
was unconscious for hours Tho goodman,
who was sitting behind at tho time, sued
for damages, intimating that the company
had been drinking, but he lost his case
Some time later Mr.. Bradbury visited
his lnines and his wife went up to meet
him at Snn Francisco. The ship came in,
but there was either cholera or yellow
fever ON board, and it was kept Mt quaran-
tine. Mrs. Bradbury went down the bay
to meet her John on tug, but was not
allowed to bonrd the ship. She appealed
to the health office. but in vain Then
She went back to San Francisco and got
authority from the governor. She return
ed in triumph, boarded tho plague ship
and remained with her husband, while the
local press published sensational stories
about Beauty Dehes Death" etc. Then
followed flying trip around the world In

John lost because ho fingered in Paris to

JOE DowNEYs SEA SERPENT.

That's how the Chicago newspapers de.
scribe it-Joe Downey's sen serpent. Mr..
Downey is veracious citizen Of North
Chicago, and here is his story:
My entire family was down on tho
beach back of tho house Thursday night
just about dusk. Suddenly from out the
gloom we heard an awful yelling, and
looking In the direction of North Chiongo
we saw two men running down the beach
attired only in bathing suits. Ono OF them
yelled, Have you seen it2' meaning, as
thought, wreck of some kind. I finally
cooled tho fellow down, and no pointed to
the lake. There saw a big black somo-
thing-I won't attempt to tell what it
was, TOR never SAW any animal like it be-
fore-gliding through tho water. 1t was
some kind of mn animal, and big one mt
that Oh, there is no fake about it'll 1t
was about 30 feet long, and tho head and
neck were blacl; and out of the water most
of the time, though it would disappear at
times and then come back again. dis
like to talk about it because all the papers
treat it as n big fake.
Yes" sud Mrs Downey, "the papers
think they have tho joke on us, but we
know that we have the joke on them.
That animal will be heard from again"
Wo watched 1t for 90 minutes or half

any longer" continued MIR. Downcy.
The last heard of it was "a splash of It's
tail, which made me think that a storm
was coming up.
"Thc lake was as smooth as glass until
that animal came along, and, although it
was 900 feet away, the waves camo in IS
inches high whenever he'd mako quick
move. He was continually diving and
reappearing.
"Onc unusual thing that noticed par
ticularly was that the water close to shore
was alive with schools of large Gsh, some
thing which never has happened before.
They must have been scared in from the
deeper water by this monster. Another
thing that think is strange is the dsap-
pcarancc of tho carcass of largo mastiff
which was lying on tho beach Thursday
night. Tho next morning 1t was gone.
Tho sand was all scratched up, but this
could not have boon done by COWS, for
there nre barbed wire fences which would
prevent them from getting to that spot.

ga sudden shock is first felt. as If some

feels benumbed. Bright lights dance and
flash before your eyes. Your head feels
abnormnlly large, somewhat like that of a
person when troubled with vertigo. A
heavy weight seems to be bearing down
upon your head. The pulse Is high, and
an exhilarated feoling takes possession of
you. You feel as il you were trcading the
air with everything around you in u
blank. You are alone-the only being,
the only object, the only tangible thing, in
the universe. You gradually sink into in
sensibility.
GA fierce shock suddenly passes through
your entire system. You are again struck
on tho head with the mnllot, the same
bright lights dazzle before your eyes, and
then all is blank This second shock is
caused by tho withdrawal of elcctri1cation,
