Prosperity comes TO the farmer
this year, in spite Of bad financial
aud tariff legislation, and the riller
OF the soil has plenty OF everything
except money. The wheat crop all
over this country is enormous,
while in the old countries it is q
failure in many places and millions
OF bushels are being exported to all
parts OF the world. This OF course
has raised the price, and the Re-
publican papers are in great glee
over 1t, crediting it all to their adj

anything to do with good wheat
season in this country and failure
in the old country.

1t seems strange that the thirty
two cents per ton tariff increase on
coal should be in effect and nearly
all tho miners on strike and the
business IN the worst shape it ever
was. If we understand the matter,
none Of the striking miners are
asking for that much of raise,
snd if this tariff is for the benefit
Of the workingman, as the Ropub-
hcans claim, why not give 1t to
him now and stop all this trouble (.
We will guarantee that if the
miners get half Of this raise in the
new tariff, they will all go back to
work and the trou blc will be over.

TWO BURGLARS
A Desperate Encounter
in a Santa Rosa
Residence.
Assistant District Attorney
SeaWell Puts Theories
to Flight.
Four Bullets Pierce His Overcoat,
but He Escaped Without a
Wound.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL,

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Oct. sistant
District Attorney Emmett Seawell fought
a desperate battle with two burglars in
his. residence in this city tonight A
dozen shots were fired by the official ana
the ;marauders at close range, and that
Seawell escaped alive is remarkable, for
Iour bullets from the revolvers of the
burglars pierced the overcoat he was wear
ing without even drawing blood from his
person. SeawelI believes that he wounded
one of the robbers in the scrimmage
The District Attorney and his wife left
their home early this evening to attend a
band concert downtown. They returned
at about 8 80 clock. AS SeaweIl entered
the frontdoor of his residence he observed
a light IN one of the rooms, and went for
ward to > investigate. Suddenly he was
confronted by two burglars, who at once
opened ire upon him. Seawell made his
way to dresser in which ne had a re-
volver, and. obtaining the weapon, re-
turned the fire OF his assailants.
The distance that separated him from
the robbers was not over five feet When
they had emptied their revolvers at him
and he had sent three bullets in return,
the intIuders turned to fee. In their
haste they plunged through plate glass
windows and dashed off IN the darkness,
taking their booty with them.
The shooting attracted passers-by to
the scene. The District attorney was
found to be uninjured, though his over
coat had been punctured in four places.
In the wall back of where the burglars
had stood during the combat TWO bullets
fired by Seawell were found lodged, but
the third could not be located, and this
fact bears out the District Attorney in the
belief that one of the intruders carried the
lead away in his body.
Before tie return of Mr.. and Mrs. Sea-
well the thieves had ransacked the house
thor roughly, taking considerable iewelry,
few dollars in cash and a check for $45,
payment on which has been stopped.
They were none too careful in their
search. and seem to have taken pleasure
in destroying everything they could not
m axe use OF.
Early In the evening the two burglars
were seen prowling around in the vicinity
of the Seaweli home by the District At
torney's sister-in-law and sister. They
were both young men, but they demon
strated in the affair that followed later
th at they were desperate criminals who
would stop at nothing to avoid apprehen-
sion.
An hour or two before the robbery OF
the Seawell residence a man named Green
was held up and robbed on the Main
street bridge by two thugs, who are be-
lie we'd to have been the ones whom Sea-
well afterward encountered.
1t appears that the robbers were deter.
mi ned to murder Seawell before they
esca ped from his residence. When they
dashed out Of the room IN which the
shooting had taken place they waylaid
him again in hall and fired point blank
upon him. Luckily the partial darkness
made their aim uncertain and again their
intended victim escaped death at their
hands.

KIOndike to-day is able to tell how much

Klondike to-day is able to tell how much
it will produce.
William Gates, otherwise known as
"Swift-water Bill, has reveled in riches
and chased the phantom of complete de-
sire for nearly year. This last party
brings out the news that the noted Bill
has gone broke. He became attached to
young woman from juneau, who got
much of his money and the rest OF the
$3.50, 600 Bill raked out of his claim went
to a faro bank. He has now lost both his
sweetheart and his gold and will soon have
to start out of Dawson with pack upon
his back in search of more claims to con-
quer.
Faro is the Leading sport in Dawson
when the lights are lit. The only limit is
the roof. Several OF the party that came
out this afternoon have seen a square foot
of buckskin bags filled with gold dust
stacked on a single card.
For four days frightful storm has been
raging in Lynn canal. The steam
ships Rosalie and Willamette have been
lying under cover of the harbor and
pro montory at Hanes Mission, the salt
water terminus OF the Chiikat trail, for
two days and nights. Each lost an
anchor.
Several small steamers have been blown
against the reefs of the mountain walls
and had holes Knocked in their huils, and
they lie where they struck, likely to go TO
pieces at any moment.
This is the first real nor wester that has
swept the canal. Neither the Rosalie nor
Willamette, the latter the biggest ship
that ever came to Alaska were able tn
land passenger or pound of freight for
three days. Both put back from Dyea
Inlet for sea room. The storm is also
driving many Klondikers to the coast who
had intended to winter on the trails
Board cabins will not keep out The WIND
or cold, and scores have found within the
last few days that tents as pro ection
are a gauZy dream. HAL HOFFMAN.

The new comers are needless of advice
as were the crowds that poured in last
July, August and Septe They think
Job Is being put up on them, and when
told that they cannot get TO Dawson and
are risking their lives in attem pting it at
this time OF year, they wink among them
selves and say 'you can't fool u.s." There
is dysentery among the campers at the
lakes.
The next overland party from Dawson
will be headed by Jack Dalton. The party

as to the latest condition OF things in

White Pass trail may prove 10 be a good
one for winter.
There is much drunkenness among the
Indians on the Dyea trail, notwithstand-
ing the fact that liquor sells at so cents

Camp to see Indian women and children
staggering among the trees and in their
GIMP. with white men laughing at them.
