There are hundreds of women to-day who
are semi-inyalds, worse perhaps than though
they were absolutely confined to their beds.
They drag themselves around, unable to enjoy
life, unable to attend to their work, suffering
continually more or less, and with each year be-
coming greater burden to their families. The
cause for such troubles may often be found in
q deranged condition of some one of the great
vital organs of the body, the stomach acting i'm

the blood becoming impure, and no longer

had been received anywhere.
The course of the Portland after leaving
here was direct for the Aleutian Islands,
and had any accident happened to her
the only manner in which news could
have possibly been received would be
through some sealing schooner, acci-
dentally in the vicinity, which subse
quently made port and brought the news,
or through the landing OF the shipwrecked
crew and passengers on some point on
the Alaskan or British Colum bia coast in
small boats The rumor was evidently
heartless fake.
A party of six hardy timber-cruisers
and river-drlvers from Minnesota arrived
here yesterday on their way TO the Klon-
dyke. They purchased a considerable Dor
ton of their outfit in Minneapolis, and
after coming here were disgusted to find
that the prices which they paid averaged
more than 30 per cent higher than the
cost of the same goods here.
They published a card on the sub
iect in one of the evening
newspapers. A novelty in the manner in
which they have outfitted is that each
member of the party has Peterborough
canoe of the latest model and approved
build. They will be one of the best
fquipped parties gong in. They have
already let contracts for packing their
outfits over White Pass to packer. who

Among those who go north on the Will

who runs a little shop in Fremont,

Wallin took into his home and kept for
awhile a young man named G. Anderson,
who was penniless and out of work. After
stopping with Wallin awhile Anderson
got Job on one OF the Pacific Coast
steamers and made several trips TO Alaska.
He took the mining fever and went into
the Yukon.
He was in the first rush to the Klondyke,
and secured claim on Bonanza Creek.
Anderson came down on the Portland,

Peruvian stock was on the jump yester-
day, and so hot became the excitement,
the mad desire to rush to the gold fields
of Peru, that a new company entered the
field, with view of getting ahead of the
Lancing and reaching the gold fields by
steamer.
Peter Bacigalupi, the former Peruvian
merchant and theatrical manager, is the
promoter of the new tour. TO CALL re-
porter yesterday he outlined the proposed
trip as follows:
'.You may positively state that one of
the biggest commercial firms in this City

Mollendo, and that the trip can be made
to that port from here in sixteen days. Ii

steamer a month or six weeks.

Hawaii in September. Captain Merry
says the California people will undoubt-

Senator Morgan is going partly for
pleasure but the chief object of his visit
is to make study of the conditions there
by personal observation. He will make
thorough study, and the information he
acquires will be used TO further the promo
sitIon of annexation when the treaty
comes up in the Senate next session. He
is the best informed man as to Hawaii in

formation. He said to-day that there was
no dou BIT that the annexation treaty would
be acted ON favorably by the Senate next
session. .There is" he said, "no organ
lied opposition and no opportunity to
form such an opposition. There is no
ground upon which it could be built"

Cuba. he said that he had no means of
