Gold in Alaska.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, July H.
At 3 O'Clock this morning the steam
ship Portland from st. Michaels for
Seattle passed up the sound with more
than ton of solid gold on board. The
metal is worth nearly 100000 and the
most of it was taken out OF the ground
in less than three months. OF the %
miners aboard hardly man las less
than $1,000 and several have more
than 100000 in yellow nuggets. The
stories they tell seem to be beyond be-
lief. Instances are noted where single
individuals have taken out in two and
half months gold to the value OF over
$780, 900. It is claimed that not less
than 81 worth of gold is scooped uI
! with every shovel of dirt and that ap
plies to every piece OF ground into
which the shovel is delivered. Salaries
to miners are not less than $1s day
and q man gets his provisions and sus
tenance for 80.
| A great rush is going on to Alaska IL

DR.. Ryder Lynched.

On Monday night last, DR.. w. L. Ry-
der was taken from the sheriff near
Columbus, Ga, and hanged. His crime
was as follows: 1t was the story of in
sane love. On the night of that day he
shot Miss Owens, who was visiting the
family Of J. H. Mccoy. Miss Owens
was seated On sofa in the parlor, con-
versing pleasantly with Capt. Persons, a
prominent young man of the town, when
DR.. Ryder appeared in the doorway, car
rying double-barrelled shotgun in his
hand. Without speaking a word and
without a moments hesitation, Ryder
raised the gun and deliberately fired at
Miss Owens. The young lady fell to the
floor, expiring almost Immediately. Later
Ryder was captured in pond almost up
to his neck in water, half a mile from
from the scene of the tragedy, where he
had made desperate attempts to end his
own life by making gashes in his throat
and drowning.

Mr.. Tyler the Nominee.

1t is now absolutely certain that
Maj. J. Hoge Tyler will be the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor. The
primaries of yesterday settled that
point. if, indeed, it had not been set
tied long ago. The campaign has been
one remarkably free from personal
animosities and political strife. So
quietly but determinedly did the peo-
pie go to work in this matter that
scarcely a loud conversation has been
heard between the friends of the diff
erent candidates, much less warm
words or heated argument. The pop
ularity of Maj. Tyler in the State has
been shown to g remarkable degree.
Even those who wanted Mr.. Ellyson
elected had no unkind or harsh word
to say about him, and all will go to
work for his triumphant election. 1t
seems that the farmers have taken a
strong hand in this matter, that they
are deeply III earnest, and this will be
a great power in the coming campaign.
No eulogy touching the fitness of Maj.
Tyler is needed. He has been before
the public for many years and has
worked upward in the estimation OF
the people as time passed until now he
represents their ideal of the man to
place at the head of this great Com
monwealth. In the triumph of Maj.
TYLER there ia no imputation cast on
Mr.. Ellyson. His conduct has been
heightened throughout, and he has lost
not single friend by word or deed
since the contest begun. The time
was ripe for the calling of Maj. Tyler.
Before another four years pass Mr.. Ell
Tyson may find himself surro unded by
the same pleasant poll tical atmos'
phere.

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price-C Current of last
Thursday says
The past week has been remarkable
for high temperatures, but there was
no serious lack Of moisture, and crops
have made good progress generally.
There is nothing new in reference to
the wheat crop. Everywhere the ex.
cellent quality is commented upon. and
where threshing has been done the
yield is about as anticipated.
Corn has made good progress under
the influence of favorable weather, and
the crop is spoken OF quite encourag-
ingly in spite Of the backward condi-
ton, which seemingly is being rapidly
overcome.
The oats crop is only fair in condi
ton and prospect.
| Light offerings of new wheat are
something of feature, for which the
trade was hardly prepared. This is &C
counted by reason Of liberal interior
calls for available supplies, and the
reluctance of sellers to accept prices
currently offered, especially in view Of
the excellent quality of the grain. ano
the prevailing expectations of better
prices little later on in the season.
The hay crop is reported as general
Ily good in quality and quantity, al
| though weedy in some localities.
The wheat market has ruled general
'lly firm with an upward turn at thu
close, when the highest point OF tn
week was reached. :,
Corn has not shown as much strength
the past week, and at the close, Sep
TENDER corn is 1sc lower than a weel
ago-the easier condition of the maj
ket being natural result of the MGR
| encouraging shaping OF the new cro]

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

The National Banks want currency

The National Banks want currency
reform. They want the greenbacks
retired and more national Bank money
issued. Seeing that many national
banks do not issue any money under
their present right, what good would
come to the country by increasing the
right? The best that can be said OF
this scheme is that it would enable the
national banks to control the volume
of currency as they chose, and it is
most likely they would not let the
banks suffer.

Wheat.

The wheat market has been gaining
strength every day, caused by the
heavy foreign demand and the failure
of crops in Argentina and India. 1t is
not likely that wheat will go to $l.0l
under the demand, but it may reach
80 cents. Speculation is not control
ing the price as it often does, hence
there is little probability of a sudden
rise or fall.
