A 500, 600 CASH OFFER.

IL,
Offered me $1OO, 900 cash for an interest
in the Glave claim, intending to make
1T the basis of a big capitalization
and sell the stock. He would have ad-
vertised the purchase of the claim at
this price, and have asked for subScrib-
ers. OF course, could not accept any
such propositions; but, had I done so,
have had thousands of subscribers, and
a half million or so within a short
time. 1 tell you the people are crazy
for anything that bears the name of
Klondike gold.'
"How about yourself, Mr.. Arkell ?
Will you go to Alaskan"
mo. The Bowery and Fifth avenue
are good enough for me. I am satisfied
with New York. My brother, Bartlett
Arkell, will go back with Mr.. Ladue,
the man who owns Dawson City, when
he returns in February. There will be
some others in the party"
MILLIONS OF GOLD COMING.
do you not think the stories of the
amount of gold in the Klondike exag-
gerated?"
mo, I do not. am now prepared
for anything, for I believe that Glave
knew what he was talking of when he
came back and he was wild over the
amount of gold there. I have just re-
ceived letter from the editor of one
of the Seattle papers, stating that he
has received advices that the next
steamer from Alaska, which is expect
ed on Aug. %, will bring 1000, 600
worth of gold in her. If this should
turn out to be true there will be such
a gold craze here as has never been
known anywhere in the world. The
present excitement is based on reports
of an output of $3,0OO,OOO. What will
it be if the figures for the year are
$40, 100000 instead of So, 900, 900?
HARDSHIPS BOUND TO COME.

of which we could monopolize the fields
so discovered. The worst of it was"
continued Mr.. Arkell, "the man was
thoroughly in earnest. He could not
see. why I would not go in with him,
and went away, telling me that I was
driving a fortune out of my door.

MUST DO THEIR DUTY.

T0vnship OMosfs Required b. Law to
Pabiish Reports.
1t is the duty Of township officer
handling public funds to publish an
nually statement Of the receipts
and disbursements Of funds passing
through his hands. and the officer so
required who fails to 30 publish, de-
liberately violates the requirements
Of the law. There 10 no pretext Of
economy or otherwise that permits
an official to accept portion Of the
duties Of his office and reject and
disregard another. The law does
not permit discrimination on the
part Of any public official. The dis
regard Of the provisions Of the stat
utes. however, has gone on from the
beginning with Indifference in the
matter Of publication Of reports uu-
til now election judges in the out
side townships disregard the part Of
their duty which requires the publ.
cation Of the ballot with as little
concern as il the matter was entirely
within their discretion. The statutes
as to the publication of election bal.
lots is too well known to need re.
publication here, and in the city
election judges do not presume to
defy it, or to run the risk of incur
ring the penalty that any officer who
disregards the law makes himself
liable to. The section of the law as
to reports reads:
"That each and every public officer,
elected or appointed, of each and every
county and township In this state, who shall,
by virtue of his or her Office, have the GUS
t0dy of public fudds, shall. at the expira.

OF the amount Of public funds received and
expended by him or her during the fiscal
year just closed; ,chtch statement shat

on hand ut the commencement Of SAID
fiscal year, the amount Of public funds re
ceiued, and from lChut sources receired
the amount Of public funds erpellded
and for ,rhdt purposes expended; aud the
officer making such statement shall sub
scribe and swear to the same before some
persOn authorized to administer oaths: anC
such officer shall cause such statement to b,
published in some newspaper published IL

or her Office, for one week; and, if no news

such officer shall make three (3) writer

Attractive Women,

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admirable
and attractive thing about an attrac-
tive woman is her womanliness.
Everybody admires womanly
woman. She must have health, Of
course, because without it she would
lose the brightness of her eyes, the
fullness Of her cheeks and her vivac-
ity. Real health must mean that q
woman is really woman. That she
is strong and perfect in a sexual way.
ss we'll as in every other. That she
is capable Of performing perfectly
the duties Of maternity. Some are
born with what is called "constitu-
tional weakness" Those who do not
enjoy perfect health. need only take
the proper. precautions and the
proper remedy to become perfectly
well and strong. DR.. Pierce's Favo.
