HUNTING ALASKAN MOOSE.
Dali De Weese, a Canon City Nimrod,
Succeeds in Bagging Big Game.

Canon City Col, Nov. 2.-"There are
other things than gold to attract a man
to Alaska" said Dali De Weese today.
Mr.. De Weese is just home from four
months hunting tour on the headwaters
of the Kusilloff river, where he was sue
cessfuI in bagging big game, well as
some that is very rare and much sought
after by museums-namely the white
sheep Of the north country.
The trip in eboth directions was made
by way of White pass. from which point
entrance was gained to Cooks Inlet to
the west. Here the weather was found
to be delightful for hunting and the De
Weese party set out with high hopes and
splendid prospects for plenty of sport. In
the 6rst trip out Mr.. De Weese succeeded
in killing eight white sheep and later
got two bear-one an Alaska grizzly
measuring ten feet seven inches, stretch
and three large bull moose, with unusu-
ally heavy antlers. One set has a spread
of IS inches, another GA inches, and the
third a record head with SO inches spread.
Not near all of the hunters effects have
yet arrived, but many valuable trophies
and curios already adorn the office walls
of Messrs. De Weese & Dye, among them
being set of walrus tusks as large as
those of an ordinary elephant; a slab of
whalebone as taken from the whale,
whales tooth, part of mastodons tooth,
bears teeth of great size. Indian relies,
tools, implements, musical instruments
harpoon arrows, wooden forks and spoons,
copper spoons, spoons made from Sleeps
horn and spoons from goats horn.
Many of the tools and implements used
bv the Alaskan Indian tribes are fashion
ed from copper, tempered to a certain de-
gree of hardness, melting much wonder
ment at the degree of intelligence dis
played.

REINDEER TO SAVE FAMINE
About 200 of the Animals Will be
Used in Alaska.

Chicago, Nov 3.-The threatening
famine in the Yukon valley will be re-
lieved.
DIR. Sheldon Jackson. en- route from
the Klondike to Washington, said that
the recent order of Secretary Alger to
Lieut. Col Randall, U. S. A, in COM
mand of the military reservation at St.
Michael Alaska, directing him to use
the reindeer for hauling food to the
miners, will save much suffering.
DR.. Jackson has in the herd 200 head
of reindeer trained to harness. He al
so has two Lapps and several Esqui-
maux experts in driving deer, which he
can turn over to Lieut.. Col Randall
He further states that the present ex-
igency emphasizes the urgent need of
procuring trained reindeer in larger
mum bers-that the mines OF Alaska are
so peculiarly situated that they can
not be supplied with a continuous ade-
quate food supply until reindeer trans
portation is Systematically organized on
a larger scale.

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
SAT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, I began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofuIous sores since he was cured by
Hoods SarsaparilIa, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine.' MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

NO SUCH THING as NEUTRAL
ITY

Such newspapers as the Topeka Jour
nal are constantly reiterating the
statement that Senator Hessin of Man
haitian is Senator Lucien Bakers can
didate for governor and will receive all
the support Mr.. Baker can control In
a recent conversation with the editor
of the Mail Senator Baker referred to
various newspaper reports to the effect
that he favored or opposed various
prospective candidates for governor.
He stated very positively that he had
taken no part whatever in such mat
ters; that he would not under any cir
Cumstances, directly or indirectly, use
any influence or take any part in the
selection of candidates for state officers
next year; that he should stand absO-
luteIy alOOf from this contest person
ally and would do absolutely nothing
through his friends or thOsk whom he
had recommended for office either for
or against any aspirant for any state
Office. He further stated that if it be-
came necessary to make his position
definitely understood, he would pub
lish a statement of it over his own sig
nature.-Wel ellington Mail.
If Mr.. Hessin is the anti-LeIand can
didate for governor as is now claimed,
Senator Baker viii have to give his
tacit support to him, owing to the fact
that Senator Baker is in a furious fight
with Leland, himself. The Leland crowd
and it's oppOsers must inevitably con-
centrate in two hostile camps If Le-
landism is to be overthrown its enc
mics must and viii organize. Senator
Baker can't remain neutral. No man
can mix in politics and pretend that he
has nothing to do with it. He has to
fight or get out. Senator Bakers pre-
tense that he is to sit in the grand
stand while the fight goes on in the
arena in front of him is all nonsense.

Every time a woman reads of a bad
accident in the papers she looks at her

succeeded in raising them that far.
Some of these days some woman with
spunk in her will resent the charge at
a card party that she cheats, because
her score is good, and will turn in and
wipe out the whole crowd.

PNEUMONIA FROM HEAT.
Peary's Esquimaux Having a Hard

Time at Bellevue hospital
New York. Nov 3.-The party of six
Esquimaux whom Lieut.. Peary brought
here and who are now in Bellevue hos
pitaI, are having a hard time of it.
Aulun- -Gua-Wosa, the matron of the
party, is critically i'll, but the Bellevue
physicians have hopes of saving her
life. The troubles of the whole party
are caused by the climate, and the
strangest thing about it is that their
lungs are affected. They are suffering
from pneumonia and kindred COM
plants, diseases which it would be sup
posed they could ward off the best. In
stead of contracting pneumonia from
the cold, they apparently contract it
from the heat. They complain much of
the excessive heat and long for a sight
of the ice-clad fields cf their native
land
Superintendent Murphy has done all
he can to make his Arctic patients COM
Portable, and he permits them to roam
about the hospital and grounds at their
will The pleasantest place for them
appears to be in the basement of the
hospital as it is cool and damp down
there. They spend several hours there
every day.

ENCOURAGE THE COMMISSIONERS.

The immigration bill of the 18th Legislature is the best law ever placed on our statute books for the encouragement of in u1i grafton and the investment of capital in Ari- zona. The policy of appointing newspaper men as the corn mis-. sioners was because they are, by virtue of their business, better adapted for the work than any other class, and the additional fact that they can do the work for much less compensation. The most po- pular feature af the law created most hostility to it, that which provided a commissioner for each county, thus giving each county in the Territory an equal chancs to advertise it's resources, instead of (as prior to the passage of the law} the greater part of the expenditure of funds appropriated for such purpose was applied to the adver- tisement of Phoenix. This change of program, which allowed the other counties to advertise their resources, met with the most violent opposition from 8 coterie of Phoe- nix speculators who left that such system of advertising would detract from that section. and then again, there were score of ambi- tious fellows who wanted to be appointed commissioners and who were overlooked on account of the impossibility of appointing more than one person to the same office.
 These two spirits combined to de- feat, if possible. the efficacy of the law, but notwithstanding their | efforts great good has issued there from, but much greater results would have followed had the pro per spirit been to aid in the effec- siveness of It's provisions. With
