A RUSH TO THE GOLD MINES.
Hundreds of Prospectors Leaving Seat
 tie for Alaska

llQlldiSuS Ol ITuSpeCIOTS IedNllg Gedl- tie for Alaska. Seattle, Wash, July 19-The little steamship Alki of 7S tons burden sailed from this port yesterday for Alaska, carrying 200 passengers in her cabin and steerage and 500 sheep, 50 horses and several head of cattle on deck and in her hold, all bound for the wonder ful Klondike gold regions going over land by way of Juneau.
 The exodus from which the Alki was to sail was crowded with persons hours before the time set for the vessels's de- parture. Freight accumulated at the dock faster than the vessel could re- ceive it, and the passenger limit was reached long before sailing time. Hun dreds who had planned to take the first ship were turned away disappointed.
 A report was circulated in the eve ming that the captain of the Alki fear ing that the vessel might be overcrowd- ed, meant to leave port In the night. The result was that several prospec- tive miners who had engaged passage on the ship, spent the night on the dock
 The gold seekers who sailed on the Alki expect to reach the mines by the end of August, or not later than Sep tember 5 The sheep and cattle which were taken will be cut up into steaks and sold to the miners for s1 pound, and the horses will be used as pack animals.
 The rush of prospectors from this port has caused a boom in the ship ping business The steamship Portland will return to St. Michael on Tuesday, carrying 2D passengers in the cabin and steerage Over POO others have been crowded out and have engaged passage on the vessel for her next trip | in August The rate of passage from Seattle to Dawson, on the Klondike river, Is S150
 | Two schooners expect to sail for St. Michael this week, and are receiving freight and preparing accommodations
 for from 150 to 200 passengers

MRS. AMELIA KOHLER.

New York, July 19.-Mrs. Amelia Kohler died at Mount Vernon, N. r., yesterday at her daughters home. She was ninety-two years old. It was from her that Thomas Moore got the suggestion for "The Last Rose of Sum- mer'' She was attending private school in London, conducted by a sis ter of the poet, who frequently visited there. She was a beautiful girl, just blossoming into womanhood, and Moore was fond of talking to her. While the three of them were talking together Amelia ran into the garden, and plucking a solitary rose ex- claimed: Look, isn't 1t beautiful7 This is the last rose of summer"
 '"The last rose of summer" said the poet, musingly. What beautiful suggestion He told the girl he would write some verses and dedicate them to her.
 Her maiden name was Amelia Offer geld. Her father served with Butcher, and afterward removed to the Isle of Wight. She married Charles Kohler, a wealthy English importer. Great great-grandchildren survive her She had been in America thirteen years.

 Stamford, July 19.-A three-story frame building formerly occupied by stores and as tenement house. situat- ed on Lafayette avenue, was discovered to be on fire early this morning The flames were soon extinguished and 1t was then found that bold attempt at incendiarism had been made. The building was owned by Max Strangen- thai of New York. Some time ago it was removed from another street to it's present position The common council had previously granted a petition per- hitting it's removal to another place, but later revoked it. Mir. Strangenthal at once instituted a suit for $5000 dam ages, and it is still pending. For a month the building has been unoccu- pied, and nearby residents claim that 1t is unsanitary and a nuisance. Dis tributed in various parts of the build ing were piles of rubbish which had been saturated with kerosene oil. There is no clue. The loss is slight.

Who Will be Postmaster There?
 (Communication.)

Since the death of Postmaster George E. Meigs there has been much conjec- ture on the part of our townspeople as to who will be his successor. There are at present several candidates in the field who are looking after their own interests more or less, and some who, like Barkis, "are willin'," but who will not make any unusual effort to get it. Those in the field who believe that what is worth having is worth working for, are Assistant Postmaster George Brad ley, Miss Mary Griswold, l.. O. Chit tenden, Hart Landon and William T.. Seward, late of Hawaii. Each of these candidates has numerous friends who are making strong effort for the suc- cess of their favorite and at the present time it would be a. difficult matter to name the winner so far as outward evidence goes to show which is the leader.-Shore Line Times.

Reads Like d Romance.


The Currie Pioneer contains the
following account of the life of
Thomas Ireland:, 80. i
One by one the old landmarks of
early Minnesota are passing away.
This week one of the most con-
spicuous figures in the settlement of
Southwestern Minnesota, Mr.. Thorn
as Ireland, was called from time to
eternity. Many are familiar with his
personal history, while few of our
citizens shared the hardships of the
early days with him. ~
Mr.. Ireland was born at Worthing-
ton, Pa, March 10th, 1872, and died
in Mankato, Mimi, Aug. 9th, 1897,
being more than eighty five years of
age. The story of his life, as given
to the editor of the Pioneer some
years ago, reads Ikea romance. He
tells of struggles when buta boy; his
running away from home when only
fifteen years old; moving westward
it'll the 'Star of Empire" from Penn
sylvania to Ohio; from Ohio to In
diana; from Indiana to Illinois; from
Illinois to eastern Minnesota; and
finally, in November, 1861, to the
shores of Lake Shetek, where he was
soon to witness the destruction of his
home, the slaughter of his family,
the taking of his two daughters into
captivity, and to feel the tortures of
more than eighteen wounds given by
the treacherous Indians. No one
could give more interesting account
of the we'll known massacre of Slaugh-
ter Slough, Aug. 20, 1862. He tells
of the false promises by the Indians
who had previously been his friends;
how they left their homes on that
eventful morning with their families,
gathering at Mr.. Wright's house "a
log house near the outlet of Lake
Shetek; } how they were induced to
leave for New Ulm, under promise of
protection from Pawn, an Indian chief
who had previously befriended them
against Inkpaduka; how they were
watched from the house-top, followed
and overtaken in Slaughter Slough
and merctlessly shot down by the red
man. He claims to have killed the
Indian chief Lean Bear, two other
warriors, and thinks; probably, many
more. When almost dead from his
bleeding wounds he crawls away in
the grass to die; but later, when the
boy, Morton Eastlick, only twelve
years old, with his little baby brother
finds him, and tells him that he in
tends carrying the baby to a place of
safety, he is inspired by the example
of the little hero, and staggers for
ward with him toward New Ulm, rs
miles distant. On the way he meets
a few struggling refugees from the
slaughter: On reaching New Ulm
the surgeon removed five balls that
had been imbedded in the flesh for
eighteen days, causing untold pain.
His history of living among and trad
ing with the Indians is most inter-
esting history. Mr.. Ireland was a
pioneer in the strict sense of the term,
and our country owes much to such
men, who bore the hardships and pri-
vations of early settlement, and SO
PREPARED the state for it's present pros
perity: Personally, the deceased was
a typical pioneer-tall and strong,
with a liking for new adventures.
