ADVICE TO SEEKERS.
COMES FROM SITKA AND rs
FULL OF INTEREST.
John Bradley Thinks That Parties
After Gold Should Remain Away
From Alaska Unless They Intend
to Stay at Least Three Years.

Kokomo, Ind, Nov. 27.-John ].
Bradley, who was raised in this vi
entity, has written a letter of advice
to the editor of the Union Dispatch of
this place, that he wishes all Indianans
and others interested to read and
profit by The letter is under date of
Nov. Z, from Sitka, and is full of in
terest. He says:
Before coming to Alaska to seek
for gold, consider well the dark side.
The country is mountainous, immense
glaciers fill many of the valleys, most
all the streams have swift currents, a
large part of the surface is covered
with moss, which thaws out but little
more than foot in summer. In win
ter everything becomes solid and pros
pecting must be done with fire. Scrape
off the moss, start a fire; when it dies
out Scrape out the thawed earth, re-
peattng the operation indefinitely. The
country affords no food. The means
OF transportation are few and costly
Remember that the mosquito comes to
full development in northern ATTITUDES.
Man needs experience to be success
full in mining. My advice to the man
who has made up his mind to come to
Alaska is to bring years supplies.
and, If he is not experienced in mining,
to work for wages the first year. He
is then in school and will receive wages
enough to save a good sum beyond
expenses. When the next strike is re-
ported he will be able to buy his outfit
and secure claim for himself 1t is
not worth while to try this venture
unless you can give it from three to
five years. 1t is best for men to come
in small parties, not over four to-
gether. Parties coming in the spring
should arrive in Juneau with nothing
but cash and buy their outfits there
The stores are now well supplied and
everything necessary can be bought
there cheaper than to bring it. The
cabinet Of Canada is threatening to
drive the Americans from British ter
ritory. a large force of mounted po-
lice is on the way here. The Canadians
have been exacting tribute in all man
ner of ways that will add to the gov
eminent revenue. Yours truly,

KAYsvmLE ADJUSTMENTS.
Fair Held by the Young Ladies'
Mutual Improvement.


KaysviIe, Nov. 2T.-Thanksgiving
festivities in Kaysville this year were
more in the nature of a public celebra-
ton than is customary. There We're,
of course. the usual number of home
gatherings and family dinners, but in
addition to this there was a fair and
entertainment in the music hall, given
by the Young Ladies' Mutual Improve
ment association. The display was
made up almost wholly of the work of
the young ladies themselves, and it
was indeed creditable. Paintings,
neediework and everything necessary
for home decoration was on exhibition.
The hall was thronged during the af
ternoon with spectators. A musical
programme by Miss Nora Bonnemort,
Mrs Minnie Blood. Miss Eliza Draper
and a guitar and harmonica band
added pleasure to the occasion.
The ball in the evening was attended
by about 200 persons and was very
enjoyable affair socially as we'll as
financially. During the evening there
was a cOntraltO solo, My Queen" by
Mrs. Ella Burton; a character recita-
ton, Mrs. Beams Courtship," by Miss
Maud Barnes, and a song, 1.-THE Fog
Bell by James +. Cottren. At Il
o'clock luncheon was served, and then
dancing was resumed. The whole af-
fair Melted the committee about $50.
The Bountiful Dramatic company is
billed to play THE Silver Lining" at
the music hall on Wednesday evening
next. The play has been pronounced
a success in the towns where it has
been presented. Mr.. C. w. Beane, a
talented Salt Lake actor, has the lead
ing role.
Edward c. Barnes has recently pur-
chased an interest in the creamery
business of Jones & Taylor and will
shortly take charge of the companys
affairs in Salt Lake.
Mrs. Clara II. Layton has been very
sick for a few days, but is somewhat
imDroYed.

LUCK IN GOLD MINING.
Less Factor of Fortune Than Pluck
and Perseverance,.


and Perseverance.
Cassers Magazine: The newspaper
scribbler, in want of fresh copy, has a
habit of telling tales of blind luck and
happy accident a drunken fool falls
down on the hillside and wakes from his
turbie dreams to find himself resting
against a ledge of white quartz cleaning

picks up a stone to throw at a stray
sheep, and. realizing it's unusual weight
skaters it against a boulder to find it
the open sesame to the caverns of Alad-
din.
Don't believe it, The blind goddess,
Fortune. directs the miners destiny less
frequently than the brotherhood of pluck

luck in mining as in all things human
but hardly more; there is as much room
for intelligent design and careful fore
sight as in any other business, and prob
ably more.

MarysVille, Mont. in the United States,
was opening up the mine which made him
a millionaire, there came a story of an
old man driving a tunnel into a mountain

ECLIPSE IN CHINA.
Occurs on New Years Day and
Causes Great Fear.

North China Herald: Eclipses of the
sun and moon-more especially those
of the sul-in China, are treated as a
warning from heaven that the reign
ing prince has been wanting in wisdom
and morality. This is now exemplified
by an imperial edict dealing with an
eclipse of the sun which the Imperial
board of astronomy at Pekin has just
reported to the throne as about to oc-
cur on Jan. o. 1898, which happens to
be the Chinese New Year dav.
The decree in question states that
''for centuries an eclipse of the sun
has been accepted by the princes of
past dynasties as a warning to them
selves from heaven to reform their
ways and rule righteously, and even in
the present dynasty, namely, during
the reigns of K'ang Hsi and Chien
Lung CA. D. 1662-1794), there happened
eclipses of the sun on New Year s
day" In view of this and the warning
such an occurrence seemed to indicate

A SHOCKING AFFAIR.
A Car Passenger Gets a Few Hundred
Volts of Electricity.


Volts of Electricity.
There is a well known gentleman of
Ogden who knows or thinks he knows
how it feels to be electrocuted and for
over a minute yesterday suffered all
the tortureS meted out to criminals in
New York when the death penalty is
inflicted. This gentleman was riding
on the forward end of the street car.
Near TWenty-eighth street Motorman
Powers stepped in to collect fares,
after throwing off the current. The car
gave a kind of lurch and to steady him
self the outside passenger put his hand
on the lever just where the metal pivot
sticks up through the leather handle.
He, at the same time, threw the lever
around, so that it stopped midway be-
tween two notches. Instantly the cur
rent of the entire system took a new
course, a good portion of it going
through his body.
Il knew something was up, but 1
did not know what" the gentleman
said, in telling of it. 1 did not think
of letting go and I guess could not
have done so had 1 tried. 1 was suf-
fering terribly, but 1 could not tell what
allied me. 1t was as though q perfect
network of black wires was thrown
over me and each wire was charged
with a thousand kinds of pain. In a
vague way I was conscious of what
was going on and could hear the ring
of the bell as Powers registered the
fares. / thought my time had come and
l remember wondering what allied me
that ] should thus be stricken sud
denly from health to utter helplessness.
L wondered what my wife would do and
think when 1 was carried home L
wondered how l would look, how she
would look; what she would do with
my life insurance money. A thousand
other mCongrOus things seemed to
troop through my whirling brain while
fire danced before my eyes and raced
through my veins. Somehow I ac-
quired strength and sense enough to
yell ard I did it. Powers at once
threw the trolley off and released me. =
The gentleman's hand and arm are
badly burned and his entire frame
considerably shocked

The Best Men.

The Democratic and Republican par
ties in ogden have, through their regu-
lar organizations, placed in nomination
candidates for members of the board
of education. 1t should be borne in
mind that both parties have repeatedly
declared the intention of putting up
the very best representatives for these
offices, taking the ground that they are
more important than any other offices
in the gift of the people. Then, too, it
must be remembered that in all the
primaries the candidates named were
distinctively the candidates of the
gathering. There were no close con-
tests and it is but fair to assume that
each party has put up candidates who
represent that party's conception OF
the best men. Hence. for purposes of
comparison, the candidates are here
published in parallel columns:

DENTS DEATH.
Autopsy Held by Drs. Root, Nc
Kenna and Scott.

An autopsy was held on the body of
the late John W. Dent, who was killed
in the shooting ARRAY by Al Shaver, a
few nights ago. Drs. Root, McKenna
and Scott conducted the operations,
which were held in the undertaking es-
tablishment of Joseph William Taylor.
The examination developed the facts
that the bullet had entered the back
between the 18th and 18th ribs, about
two inches from the spine. The top of
the kidneys was torn into pieces, the
descending colon was cut, the stomach
pierced, the lesser omentum cut
through, the left lobe OF the liver was
cut and the bullet emerged at the car
tilage Of the tenth rib in front of the
body.
From the position of the wound it
would indicate that when Dent was
shot he had his back to Shaver The
condition of the deceased mans organs
was such as could only result in death,
as they were badly cut and the kidneys
terribly torn. No inquest was held as
it was not deemed necessary. The re-
mains will be buried this afternoon at
230, the services to be held from Tay-
lor's funeral parlors on West Temple
street.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

New York Press: A woman's will
ingness is often her best protector
What worries most girls is just how
far a man will let them go without
getting scared.
No girl knows how much she thinks
of a man till she begins to wonder
how much he thinks of her.
Hairpins are used principally to cut
the leaves of new magazines and to
button up long kid gloves with.
If there is anything that makes a
man mad it is a woman that leaves
out all the Dronouns when she writes
to him.
The only reason why an old bachelor
doesn't know how to sew on his but
tons is because he can always afford
to hire some woman to do it for him.

AN ALASKAN SCHEME.
Salt Lake Company Formed to Ship
Donkeys North.

OO1iASyS NOIIu.
A company has been formed in the
city for the purpose of shipping 800
donkeys to Alaska for use in the KIon-
dixie region. The company as formed
consists Of A. II. Vogeler, who is at
the head of the movement, and Messrs.
Mckinley, Pierce and Milan. Mr. Vog-
eler states that the donkeys have al
ready been purchased, and are from the
best stock that could be produced in
Utah and Nevada. He averred that
they are nearly ready to start for the
north, the journey to be made overland
to Seattle, where they will be turned
over to transportation company in
that place, who have contracted for the
animals.
The company here will not carry the
animals any further than Seattle, for
they are only interested in the deal to
the extent of furnishing the donkeys
and delivering them at that place by
March 1. The donkeys are to be used
for carrying freight across the Chilkoot
pass and into the Klondike country.
Mr.. Vogeler said that the donkeys
would be started forward on their
journey within a few DAYS. The com
pany is said to be. on a sound financial
basis, which will insure the safe de-
livery of the 600 donkeys to the point
named above.

CURIOUS CERTIFICATE.
Birth Record Filed With the Board
of Health.

VI hSellIIl.
The birth record kept by the board
of health of Salt Lake City seldom
reveals anything of uncommon inter-
est. AS a rule the vital statistics are
as dry and featureless as any data of
everyday occurrence. But yesterday a
birth return, along with several others
of like purport, was filed for record
with Clerk F'olland, which indicates
that an over-joyous father made use of
classical and euphonious Latin in fill
ing in the data pertaining to his sons
advent into this world of commonplace
affairs, on the blank form which re-
quired the accoucher's signature. The
wisdom of the happy papa in his choice
of language is not criticised at this
juncture, but the query may arise as
to whether OF not there is sufficient
correct data in this particular return
to serve the purpose Of Identification
in years to come.
When Clerk POLAND questioned the
midwife who made the return yester-
day she stated that the birth had
actually occurred at the time stated
under all proper circumstances. The
blank had been filled out for her sig
nature, which was subscribed. She
had not paid particular attention to
the Latin and could not give a literal
translation into English, according to
the facts, until she looked up her
memorandum book, but she declared
that everything was all right.
The record of the birth shows the
following: "Quentius Sextus, male,
white; born April Z, 1897, at 227 Forum,
near Coliseum, 9th diocese; fathers
name, Quentillus Servius; occupation,
legisnary; birthplace, Herculaneum;
mothers maiden name, CLAUDIA Be
melia; birthplace, Pompeii." Under
the head of Remarks is the phrase,
None to make" The return bears
the name of "Portia" as the attend
ant, although Caroline Conley sub
scribed her name as having officiated
in this capacity.
The father who filed out the blank
is probably a lawyer, but not a Roman

THE SUGAR FACTORY.
Less Than $4,000 to Be Raised by
Next Wednesday.

Last night the returns showed that
$233, 100 had been subscribed for stock
in the sugar factory. Several lists in
the country districts will not be re-
ceived until Tuesday. In West Weber
yesterday $1.400 was subscribed. The
amount necessary between now and
Dec 1 is $4,000 Meetings have been
arranged for Monday afternoon and
night in Marriott, Statewide, and Far
West.
David Eccles will be in Ogden Tues
day, and if the $25O,OOO has been sub
scribed by that time. some one will be
selected to collect 10 per cent of the
subscriptions. When the collection is
made, the order for the machinery will
be placed. If the sum Of $250,000 is not
subscribed by Dec. l, the whole pro-
ject falls through.

cloakmakers MADE Happy.

New York, Nov 27.-The situation in
the cloakmahng trade was considerably
cleared today when several of the
largest concerns assured the brother
hood of cloakmakers that the would
neither lock- out nor cut down the
wages of their employees. These five
firms employ about so per cent of the
labor, and it had been feared that on
the expiration of the peace contracts
they might wage an aggressive cam
paign against the brotherhood.

Denver, Nov. pa special to the
News from Santa Fe, n. NJ, says:
Archbishop Chapelle, whom the press
dispatches announced has been ap-
pointed at New Orleans is expected to
arrive here tomorrow from Baltimore.
He has been absent at Rome and else
where for five months. 1t has long
been known that he sought the posi-
ton at New Orleans, his former home.
hence no surprise is expressed over his
appointment. AS to his successor here
there is much speculation, though it is
probable that Vicar General Anthony
Fourche, for % years a resident of New
Mexico, will be made administrator of
the province, which includes Colorado
and Arizona, and may eventually sue
coed to the archbishopric
