"Sne isn't prim, you know

all dropped their voices and got gradually off
the bed, when some Of them smoothed the sheet
and the others subsided on the floor
The old lady they praisng happened to
be downstairs entertaining a visitor. If the
noise had not been SO great he girls might have
heard a shrek as that visitor stepped in.
"Oh. what have you done to yourself?' she
had screamed The DID lady shut the door,
leaning against it, and began to laugh. She had

was still standing there Then the bus drove
of.
The seven art students had come in when
Frances got back. They saw her from the win
dow, and opened the door tumultuously and
anxiously. Being nice girls they noticed things
quickly. and saw she upset.

Il am tired said Frances and went quietly
upstairs.
They sat together on the sofa and talked
about the poor, dear old lady. But Frances
locked her door, and flung herself down in a
storm of sobbing. Once she rose up and looked
at herself In the glass

said. Il have made an old woman Of myself

her. She pushed them away with a sudden
horror and sobbed into the dusk

For it was not a suitable frock for an old lady.

The students hurried off, nodding gayly
to her. and whispering that the old lady was
looking funny, as II she were going cracked.
Frances tried to begin busting the drawing

She stared blankly further out into the empty

AN associated press diipatch from
Seattle, July 10th, says: When the
steamer Alki turned her nose northward
today she carried more than 100 enthu-
siastic gold hunters bound for the Klon.
dyke regions in Alaska. The piers we're
black with crowds of people. who cheered
the departing friends Justify and wished
them good luck. Many of those who
managed to secure passage are making
their last journey. for the climate of
Alaska is no respector of persons. and
only the most rugged and healthy can
hope to survive the rigors and hardships
of the new camp.
But even with the knowledge that
they were going to almost certain death
the fortune hunters made merry and
Knocked at those unable to crowd on the
steamer.
The majority of those starting today
will make what is called the overland
trip to Klondyke. From Juneau they
go 100 miles further by water to Dyea,
then over the the mountain passes.
down Lakes Linderman and Bennett to
the Yukon River, and from that river to
the new discoveries.
Richest Mines in the World.
Thomas Moran, and old miner, who
has just come from Klondyke after
three years sojourn, bringing with him
$4,000 worth of gold dust. left this
morning for San Francisco. Before
going he said that it was beyond the
power Of ones mind to realize the wealth
that was being taken from Mother
Earth. Pockets are being discovered"
he said, that contain certain large
amounts of pure virgin gold" He also
gave the first account of what is known
iu the Klondyke as TOO Much Gold
Creek" Only two white men have ever
reached it, and they had to give up and
turn back because they had no provis-
ions. This creek of fabulous wealth is
about 700 miles from the Klondyke and
is. known to Indians, who refuse to
reveal its location. The Indians say
there is too much gold for white men,
meaning that if the secret is given out
there will be another rush of prospec-
tors.

MRS. l.. X. KLUMP.

At the home of her son, Mr.. Don Klump,
Conneautville, Pa, Laura Adelia, de-
parted this life Wednesday evening, June
80, in her Dist year
She was the widow of Lester r. Klump,
who preceded her to the immortal home
in 1888. Three children remain: Morton
of Cleveland; Does, on the homestead =;
and Mrs. Ida, wife of G. r. Beatty, of
Greenville. A few years previous to Mr..
Humps death their golden wedding was
celebrated at the old home, Rev. Father
Shipman and wife being with them on
the happy occasion.
CSister Klump was member of the Uni
versalist church many years, but on ac-
count of advanced age had been deprived
of church privileges for a long time,
though to the close of life she retained a
love for the church of her choice, and a
firm faith in the final ingathering of all
souls into the heavenly kingdom. To her
family she was household saint, leaving
none but blessed memories behind.
The funeral was held at the old home
stead. Services conducted by Rev. H. B.
Taylor. His remarks were fitting to the
occasion, tender and consoling to children
and friends. E. L. L.

in the events of the day and recording
their names on the roll.
Hot Night for Debate.
The night was hot and the debate
was carried on with much discomfort to
those who participated in it. The dem
ocratic minority, under the leadership
of Mr.. Bailey. the astute young politi-
clan from Texas, found it's duty to op
pose the bill, and the opposition was
strong and creditable. The speeches
for the most part we're good; the men
who spoke were enthusiastic and every
few minutes the house was filled with
the deafening sound of applause that
rose up and shut out every sound but
that of the speakers voice and gavel de-
handing order.
About II o'clock, when the time for
vote was fast approaching, Mr.. Payne.
of New York, took the floor for the re-
publicans and made about the only ar
gument for that side that was made in
the course of the whole debate, except
ing, of course, Mr.. Dingley's explanatory
statement.
Mr.. Bailey. Mr.. McMillin, Mr.. Swan
son and other democrats had made long
arguments before this, and of the ten
hours debate about eight we're con-
sumed by democrats. Mr.. Bailey's ar
gument, which he began about s o'clock
in the evening, was his most eloquent
effort in congress and will make for him
new place among democratic speakers.
There was great enthusiasm among
the republicans when the vote was an.
nounced.
Every republican in the house who
was present voted for the report. The
democrats, with five exceptions, voted
against the report The exceptions we're,
Slayden, of Texas, Broussard, of Louisi-
ana, Meyer, of Louisiana, Davey, of
Louisiana. and Kleberg. of Texas.
The populists and silverites did not
vote solidly. Mr.. Shafroth, of Colorado
and Newlands, of Nevada, silverites, alb.
stained from voting. Mr.. Hartman,
silverite, Montana, did not vote.
The populists who voted against the
report were as follows: Baker, Barlow,
Botkin, Fowler, Jett. Lewis, Marshall,
Martin, Peters, Simpson Strowd, Vim
cent. Four did not vote-Howard,
Kelly, Stark and Switzerland. The
other populists were absent.
An analysis of the vote shows that $50
republicans and five democrats voted
for the report. and LOG democrats and
twelve populists against it.
The conference bill now goes to the
Senate for approval. 1t is believed in
Washington that the bill will be passed
by the Senate and become law by
Saturday next. There may be an I'M
looked for delay, but the probability is
that the Senate will not prove obstruc-
tive and that the bill will be passed
without much further delay.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical frater-
nifty. Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing it's
work The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they

that it fails to cure. Send for list of

THE NEW GOLD FIELDS IN ALASKA.

There is great rush of miners to the
newly discovered gold field in the Klon-
dyke regions of British Columbia, near
the Alaska border. All eyes are now
turned to that distant region and the
stories that are daily told of the amounts
of gold centered in that land of long
nights and clear twilight, reads like the
wonderful tales of the Arabian nights. 1t
is now stated that the amount of treasure
brought down from the famed Klondyke
by the steamship Portland is now placed
at 81 100000. and there is good reason to
believe that the sum was nearer to 50 000.-
900. Each man was required to place
his gold chest in the ships safe, but this
was not done by any means. Many of the
miners secreted their dust in blankets
and luggage which were taken either
to their staterooms or thrown carelessly
about the ship.
Clarence J. Berry, one of the Klondyke
kings, brought down at least $4,000 in
nuggets, not cent of which Portland
had any record of. The statement is
made on the authority of Captain Will
liam Kidson. the master of the vessel.
When pressed for an estimate as to the
grand total of the Portland's gold cargo,
Captain Kidson said it was no doubt
nearer 100000 than the amount &C.
counted for on the ships records.
A dispatch from Port Townsend,
Washington. July 10th, says that the
excursion steamer Queen has arrived
from Alaska with ITO passengers. princi-
pally tourists The officers of the Queen
state the merchants and tradesman in
both Juneau and Sitka are closing their
stores and shops and Fastening to the
new Eldorado. Fifty business men left
Juneau for Dawson City on July 18th,
and $50 would leave on the 10th, two
days after the Queen sailed.
The officers say that by the time the
Queen returns to Juneau on her return
trip, nine days hence, there will not be
an able-bodied man left in town. Many
men are leaving Juneau for the gold
fields without provisions or means to buy
them.
The steamer Alki sailed for Alaska at
midnight. She carries forty horses and
1000 sheep for Dyes, where they will be
landed and driven across the summit 10
the Yukon Valley. Stockman say the
sheep are the finest band ever collected
off the eastern Washington ranges. They
will be taken to Circle City and Klon-
dyke and slaughtered. Any kind of
fresh meat there sells at fifty cents a
pound.
The number of Chicago people who
have already engaged passage for Alaska
is small as the distance from the sea-
coast has made it impossible to reach
the regular boats in time, but the ex-
citement reused by the news is great.
The morning mail brought over 500 let
ters from would-be emigrants to the Of
fcers of the transportation company in
Old Colony Building. and all day the Of.
ficers of the company were so besieged
by inquirers they hardly dared to appear
upon the street. While many applicants
simply sought information which would
enable them to choose the quickest route
to the gold fields. whittier they planned
to go on their own accounts, there we're
many others who sought employment
with the company as the best means of
reaching the desired land.
