| SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. ga men,
Der of the wealthiest police force in the
world arrived in the city last night with
his $4,000 in gold as the result of two
years service on the Klondike in the
ranks of the Canadian mounted police.
S. r. Churchill is the name of this
lucky officer, who is worth anywhere
from $4,000 to 100000 He brought
down sack containing somewhat over
$4,000 for spending money. He was not
proclaiming his luck from the masthead
| and the fact that he had money was
overlooked by the press representatives
who boarded the steamer yesterday.
Churchill is not the richest of the
mounted policemen by any means.
Some of the members of Dawson's DO
lice force are worth a million dollars;
all of them have over $4,000 When
the strike on Bonanza was made Capt.
Constantine, in charge of the police,
allowed his men to stake cut claims
and file locations. They were not per-
mitted to work them, but hired it done
On lays. AS a result the following
claims are owned by policemen: S. r.
Churchill, SO above discovery on b.
nanza; James hurry, one-half of
claim 81 on Ell Dorado, IL below dis
covery on Hunkers Creek and SO above
on BONANZA; j. Brothers, 81 above on
Bonanza; A. Ward owns SO above on
Bonanza and an interest in 80 above;
A p. Zeller has sold his claim on b.
nanZa for a large sum. Others own
ing claims or portions of claims, none
Of which are worth less than 500 900,
are Policemen Pinkerton, Thornton,
Webster, Sinclair and Gowler.
Hasn't Had Enough of 1t.
Mr. Churchill commenced spending
his little stake last night by buying
complete outfit from top to bottom. He
has claim on Bonanza Greek, as is
mentioned in the list above and will
return to look after his interests He
was at police headquarters all morn
ing talking over the Klondike with De-
tective Cudihee. He said:
1t Will be wonder to me if more
than half the people at Dawson City
keep their stomachs from touching
their backbones if they remain there
throughout the Winter. There surely
will not be enough provisions. Even
last year, when there were not nearly
so many people and considerably more
provisions per capita, there was suffer-

go on short rations. Well, I'm-glad I'm

CHARGE OF LIGHT BRIGADE.
The Wars of Europe Sink into Insignif- |
canoe When American Losses IN Battle |
Are Recalled.

The Wars of Europe Sink into Insignih-
canoe When American Losses IN Battle
Are Recalled.
From the Chicago Post.
Col. Fox, in his work entitled Regiment
al Losses in the American Civil War" says
of this charge of the Light Brigade at Bala-
klava, page 81:
"TaI1e the charge OF the Light Brigade at
Balaklava. Its extraordinary loss has been
made familiar feature of heroic verse and
story in every land. until the whole world
has heard of the gallant 900 and their ride
into the valley of death. Now, as the Light
Brigade accomplished nothing in this ac-
tiOn-merely executed an order which was a
blunder-it must be that 1t was the danger
and its attendant loss which inspired the in
terest i'm that historic ride. WHAT was the
loss? The Light Brigade took 673 officers
and men into that charge; they lost 1l3
killed and 1874 wounded wide Kingslake);
total 247, or 36.7 per cent.
ut is time that the glamour was removed
from this very ordinary fght-judged by
American standards-43 years after Its &C.
currence. But for Tennyson's stirring
verses its fame would not have lasted 43
days probably. Why, on the same page of
Fox from which have quoted is list of
60 union regiments in the war of the rebel
lion that met with losses in single battles
ranging from SO. Il to 80 per cent-the latter
the First Minnesota Infantry at Gettysburg,
with AZ killed. 1853 wounded; total 215, or
262 men engaged. The Twenty-fOurth
Michigan Infantry lost In the same battle 60
killed, 247 wounded, and 81 missing (mOst
of them still missing and should properly
be in the 'killed); total 397, out Of 496 men
engaged. or so per cent-the greatest loss
known in warfare less than total annihila-
tion. as In the Custer battle with Sitting
Bulls braves.
"Besides the battles of the American Re-
belli0n the greatest wars Of Europe sink in
to comparative insignifcance-not except
ing the Franco russian war, with its great
advantage of breech-loading, quick firing
guns and rifles. At the recent encampment
of the Grand Army Of the Republic at Buff
falo, an official report was made showing
that within a radius of twelve miles of
Fredericksburg, Va, more men lie buried,
killed In action, In our civil war, than Eng
land has lost In all her battles during the
last 100 years!
at is time that our own citizens realized
the fact that the greatest fighting the world
has ever seen took place on American soil
from 1861 to 1865. 1t seems almost incred-
ible that a battle engaging not less than 500
men of each side should have been fought
every ten hours on the average during four
long years of bloodshed. and yet such Is the
fact. Let Americans study history and not
20 abroad In search Of heroes"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets iniamed you have a
rumbling sound Of imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

clauses three, four and Eve of the will of
