DAWSON, N. W. T., Aug. 31.-To morrow will witness another of the big stampedes, such as have characterized the history of this camp. And out of it will no doubt come another of the outrageous scandals that have gone hand in hand with them. Under rul- ing of the Gold Commissioner all claims upon which the proper representation work-three months continuous labor had not been done within the pre- scribed time-limit of one year, were to revert to the crown upon September l. It was given out that these claims were to be sold to the highest bidder, but whether publicly or not was not stated A great many claims have not been properly represented and among them are some of great value. The reasons for the misrepresentation are many The scarcity of food at this point last winter drove many of the owners away to where they became entangled in other matters, or to where, for multi tude of other reasons, they could not return within the time. Many of the claims were sent out for sale and pend ing negotiations the work was neglect ed here. AS September 1 drew near
 
 his mind. The reason Is not known. There was a good deal of complaint concerning and criticism Of the ruling which took so many more claims out -of the reach of the miner and prospec- tor, following that other law that ap- propriated to the crown every alter nate ten claims on every newly located creek. At any rate a new order was promulgated under which the unrepre- sented claims should be thrown"0pen to all who held miners certificates for re- location. This was at first hailed with some joy, which, however, very soon became tempered with suspicion. It began to appear that certain persons were securing information as to the To- cation Of valuable claims where repre- sentation work had not been reported. Individuals closely in touch with the Cold Commissioners office were known to be canvassing the creeks and taking note Of all claims where there was even the slightest technical failure to fulfill the requirements.

A Tart Old Lady.

Out in Indiana "a good many years ago
q certain old lady, summoned as wit
ness, came into court wearing large
poke bonnet, such rs was then much af
fected by rural folks Her answers to
the questions put TO her being rather in
distinct, the court requested her to
speak louder, though without much sue
cess.
"Tho court cannot hear a word you
say, my good woman said the judge.
"Please to take off that huge bonnet of
yours.
Sir" she said composedly and dis
tinctly enough this time, 1.-The court
has a perfect right to bid a gentleman
take off his hat, but it has no right to
make lady remove her bonnet.
Madam, replied the judge, ''you
seem SO well acquainted with the law
that l think you had better come up and
take seat with us on the bench.''
II thank your honor kindly" she re-
sponded, dropping low courtesy to the
court, "but there are old women enough
there already. Law Notes

OWA CENTRAL BEHIND 1T.
Probability of the X. l.. VI. & $. w. Railroad
Being Built.

Probability of the X. l.. NJ. & 5. w. Railroad
Being Built.
1t is not improbable, judging from
the stories that are being printed in
Iowa just now, that the Rock Island.
Muscatine & Southwestern railroad,
in which local capital is interested,
will be built in the very near future.
1t is said the Iowa Central is behind a
deal to construct the line in order to
gain access to the tri-cities. The most
serious obstacle to overcome is the
building of bridge across the Missis-
sippi at Muscatine, which would cost
about $500, 900, but it is believed that
half this amount could he raised in
Muscatine. where the people are fully
alive to the advantage of n north and
south line connecting them with the
great Northwestern system and n di
rect line to St. Louis.

MEET OF PRESS CLUB.
Davenport and Moline Members
Entertained by Local
Fraternity.
PLEASANT GATHERING AT HARPER.

business Session. at Which Various Mat
| tiers Are Considered, Followed by n Re-
| past and Program of Music. Paper
| and a Talk on Porto Rico and a Humor-
Gus Speech.
Rock Island members of the Tri-
| CITY Press club entertained their Dav-
export and Moline brethren in con-
nection with the holiday meeting of
the organization held at the Harper
| house last night 1t was an exceeding
lily pleasant affair and brought
out a goodly attendance of the
| members. The business session was
held in the east parlOr, and included
| aside from the consideration of rou-
tine matters, modification of the clubs
constitution and bylaws, which were
ordered printed in pamphlet form.
The names of August Richter, editor
of Der Demokrat, Davenport, and
Fred Il. Sharon. editor of the Iowa
Catholic Messenger, Davenport, were
presented, and unanimously admitted.
1t was $3.50 when the club had finished
its business.
AT this juncture the meeting was
ad journed to the hotel ordinary,
where the Rock Island members had
provided for collation. which Stew
ard Nietch had prepared. This par
taken of the program arranged by the
entertainment committee was pre-
scented.
Prof. Albert Petersen and Henry
Sonntag opened the program with Il
rendition on violin and piano of The
Tri-City Press Club March,. " of which
Conrad Frederichsen, of Davenp port,
is the composer, Introductory rem arks
being made by Sherman w. Searle, city
editor of the Davenport Leader, pre-
scnting the music to the club. The
march. a tuneful production with n
popular swing. was eXquisitely
played, and was warmly received.
Motions by w. A. Jones, of the Mo
line Mail, and W. +. Eastman, of the
Moline Dispatch, that it be placed in
the archives of the club and also pub
lished, We're adopted. Then came q
talk on Porto Rico by Myron Jordan,
editor of the Moline journal, and who
is now known as the press soldier,
having laid aside the pen at the out
break of the recent war and enlisted
as private with the company of his
town and placed himself at the service
of his country. Mr.. Jordan said the
life of the soldier was not an enviable
one, and although he went where duty
called him without n murmur, if he
had it to do over again he proba bly,
would not be so anxious to shoulder
the gun and haversack. He reviewed
the travels of the 9th regiment, re-
cited happenings incidental to the trip,
and concluded with an interesting
description of the people, climate,
vegetation and general condition of
Porto Rico, subject that he handles |
withfthe familiarity of one who had
given it considerable study. Mr.. Jor-
dan also exhibited copies of Porto of
Rican papers, (which were examined !
with much interest.

Public and the Press.

Public and the Press.
Another selection by Messrs. Peter
sen and Sonntag and the assem- blage
listened to an able paper on The
Heavenly Twins-the Public and the
Press by Edward Collins, the talent
ed editor of the Davenport Times.
Mr.. Collins went on TO show that
the press could not exist without
the public. and that the pub
lie could not get along very well
without the press-in fact they were
so closely allied that they were more
than twins, they were one. He re-
ferred to many of the hardships that
the newspaper man had to contend
with that the outside world had no
knowledge of, of his sanity patience,
etc, and showed wherein the reputa-
BILE newspaper was the benefactor of
the town in which it was published,
and too often failed to receive the sup
port it deserved from the people.
Wallace E. Moody, Davenport 5
gifted tenor, sang ''DonJ Sevigla,
and kindly responded to an encore,
singing a coon lullaby.
The humorous treat of the evening
was furnished by w. b. Mcintyre,
Rock Islands witty after-dinner talk
err He said he was the public, the
twin of the press, as designated by
Mr.. Collins, on the present occasion,
and he had watched closely and kept his
ears open all the while, and had not
heard anything said or seen anything
done but what augured well for the
plebian. He recalled the days when
he was an editor, too, some fifty years
ago. when among other notables he
intery iewed Black Hawk, the Indian
| warrior. He was responsible for nu-
| merous innovations by which the
public benefited through the press
| Mr.. Mcintyre followed this lighter
vein, keeping his auditors in a con-
tinuous laugh. and finally becoming
serious, commended the idea of the
newspaper men of the three cities or
ganizing, for there was a great work
. before them in assisting in the devel-
opment of the Mississippi valley ter
| ritory, which from an industrial
standpoint be held was vet in its in
fancy.
Messrs. Petersen and Sonntag
played a lively march as the club adj
JOurned, after having extended a
hearty vote of thanks to those who
| had contributed to the evenings en-
! tertainment.
Among the several guests of the
club was o. b. Brady, one of the pro-
prietors of McCIure's Magazine. who
is visiting his old home in Davenport.

THE OREGON.

A few days ago the Bridgeport Stand ard aptly asked, Where rolls the Ore gon? She rolls now with Sampson's squadron. Her reception by the squad ron was worthy of her and her great voyage. We read that the dispatch boats lying outside the squadron raised their flags as the Oregon bore down between them, while her officers and men waved their hands as caps were silently lifted. The battleship slowed down, and then the noise arose. Rank upon rank of the white-clad sailors broke into yells, which came over half a mile against the wind, and the crew of the Oregon sent them back with in- terest Then the ships, each white with men, renewed their greeting, and each vessel of the fleet joined in again, and, as the Oregon glided between the flagship and the Indiana, the latters band played the Washington Post march.
 Good old Oregon! Thirteen thousand miles and nothing to mend. And the good men of the Oregon! Ready to fight any minute, and only anxious for a chance. In his report to the navy de- partment Captain Clark tells how the engineers voluntarily doubled their watches when extra speed was to be made, how men would attempt to re- turn to the fire-room after being car- ried out of it insensible, and how those who were working by watches by day and night at Sandy Point preferred to leave their hammocks in the nettings until they could get the ship coaled and ready to sail toward the place of battle.
 Of such is the kingdom of Heaven, we had almost said, but that will hard | ly do, because war is wicked and the Maine is remembered. But of such is | the United States navy, and the Span- iards will not be allowed to forget it.

ranged in close bralds, but any wo- man thinking of adopting it must be very sure that the shape of her head is graceful. The pompadour comb is also used below the coil to hold the short hairs up, the teeth down, of course. There is danger of losing the comb thus placed, or of breaking it by the fall it is likely to get though it is claimed that comb properly curved and inserted will hold it's place any where Side combs are not as long as they used to be because the pom padour comb is longer. No more than four combs are admissible, two sides, one top or pompadour, and the back lock comb making a full set. It is still admissible to wear a little bar pin to hold up the back locks, but somehow a pin there looks out of place and gives the observer the uncomfortable feeling that you have made mistake, or that the pin has fallen out of your hat.
