Seattle, Wash, Oct. 13.-The steamer
City of Topeka arrived here last night
from Juneau, Alaska. Among her
passengers was John F. Maloney of Ju-
neau, who came out from Dawson with
the Calvin party. In an interview with

REPUBLICANS DEFEATED.
Democrats Garry Chattanooga by a
Large Majority.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Oct. 13>-The nu-
nicipal election yesterday resulted in
the overwhelming defeat of the Repub-
Iican ticket. Colonel Ed. Watkins, the
Democrat, was elected by 995 majority
Colonel Watkins is a leading lawyer
and promoter, and the canvass, being
personal, attests his popularity among
the people. The Democrats elected six
out of the eight aldermen.
The city is normally Republican bv
from 400 to 500, and the reversal of the
conditions is due to the apathy of the
Repu voters and the dissatisfac-
tion of the negroes. There was a very
light vote, only $500 being cast.

TRACED BY STAGE DOGS.
aUncle Toms Cabin" BIoodhounds
Trail Prisoners

colored, Charles and Harry O'Brien, two
of the prisoners who broke jail last
night, were captured under the side of
a hayrick in hiding, 20 miles from here,
in the country, by the aid of blood
hounds procured from Uncle Tom s
Cabin company here. After the per-
formance the hounds were taken into
the jail and took the scent from sheets
on which the prisoners slept, then fol-
lowed the trail.
The prisoners had torn down the
fence built around the hayrick to let
cattle to the hay that it might appear
that the cattle had broken over the
fence and so that the loose hay pulled
out by the cattle would better hide

Something About Earl Kiser, Who
Eras Defeated Bald and Cooper.

Chicago. Oct. 13.-Earl Kiser, the

APPLE CROP SHORTAGE.
Prices Are Sky High With Upward
Tendency.

st. Louis, Oct. 13.-The world is look
ing to Missouri and Illinois for the main
portion of it's apple supply In the
eastern states, in Canada, and in Nova
Scotia the crop has been a failure, while
even at home the yield falls behind
that of last year. Late apples have
been injured by the drought, and COM
mission men generally look for the
shortest apple crop in years
The universal shortage has, of course,
sent prices to the skies. Within the
last month there has been an advance
of about rs cents on the barrel, and
from present indications apples will be
selling at the enormous price of SO per
barrel in the near future.

For some time past the Lake Region has

daughter of A. ]. Adams, of that place, and

farmer from east Tennessee, and the family
came to Florida four years ago in the hope
that q changs of climate would be of benefit
ings have gone for Doctors bills, whose SER
vices proved unavailing. The representative
was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom he
gained the story of her great trial.
Fannie, the youngest child, was born in
east Tennessee, and was seven years old on
the third day of February, 1897. When ten
months old she was stricken with paralysis,
which affected the entire left side This
stroke of paralysis was followed by convul-
gions, and from the time little Fannie was
ten months old until February, 1897, there
was not a single day or night that she did
not have spasms of the most distressing
nature Not a single convulsion, but al
ways three or four, and sometimes as high
as ten in one day.
The family was all broken down with
care and Mrs. Adams states that for one
year she did not 90 into her kitchen to super

not determine the cause, or prescribe q
remedy to aid the afflicted child.
But what change now in that household;
for little Fannie has recently been released
from her six years of agony, which brings the
light of happiness to the faces of the parents.
In January, this year, Mrs. Adams, who
had purchased some of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People for her fourteen year
old daughter. determined to try their effect
upon little Fannie. After three or four
doses, she noted an improvement and she
thea told the father what she had done.
He at once went TO the village and bought
another box, and up to this time SIX boxes
have been used. The first pills, Mrs. Adams
states, were given in January, the latter part,
and certainly not earlier than the fifteenth
or twentieth, and the child had her last con-
vulsion on February Sd, nearly three months
ago. Her general condition has improved in
every way, and it was not month after the
first pills were taken when she began to walk
without assistance.
The pills were bought at the drug store
of DR.. Shelton, in Umatilla. In answer to
the question: did he, TO his personal knowl-
edge, know that the remedy had benefited
/ Fannie Adams, as was stated by her parents,
the doctor said that he was regular practieing
physician, and as such was 10th to recon-
mend any proprietary medicine, but still he
was ready to dojustice 10 all men, and he did
know that DR.. Williams Pink Pills fors Pale
People had benefited Fannie Adams, and also
volunteered the information that he knew Of
other children in the village who had been
| benefited by their use.
