From the KlOndille.

John Guyer Of Freeport, H., and
niece, were in town last Thursday on
their way to Hunnewell to visit rela-
tives. Mr.. Guyer is IA retired KlOndke
miner, direct from Dawson City. lie
was one of the first Of the brave men
to invade the unknown regions OF the
far north and has been amply reward
ed for his pluck and endurance. lie
made several rich strikes during his
three years prospecting in Alaska
and now has plenty of money to keep
him the remainder of his days. Mr..
Guyer talked entertaininglY Of the
gold fields Thursday and told of many
periiS and hardshipS to be overcome
in the search for geld in the northern
fields.
Mr., Guyer is man probably 30
years of age. His hair is gray and the
lines Of his face tell Of the many dis
appointments and Crials encountered
in his wanderings. But there is an
air Of cOntentment about him now
that tells of the reward that has come
after those long years of persistent
search for hidden wealth. He spent
the best portion of his life looking for
gold, and on the threshold Of old age
found it in abundance. He is hale
and hearty looking and will probably
live great many years longer to
enjoy his wealth.
Mr.. Guyer prospected for fourteen
months in the Forty Mile Creek region
with poor success. The KlOndike
country was inhabited oy a mere
handful Of miners when the rich
strikes were made. He heard of the
stories of the rich fields on the Klon-
dixie river and pulled stakes for that
locality. A few months of prospect
my was enough to satisfy his desire
for wealth, and last August he turned
his face hOmevard to Illinois. Much
OF his wealth is yet in the form Of
nuggets which he took from the
frozen lands of the north with his
own hands. A handful of the nuggets
he exhibited Thursday are worth from
$40 to $50 each.

THE WRIGHT WILL CONTEST.
ATTACK Made on the homeopathic Will Of
the Late j. W. WRIGHT,

"he hearing Of the contest over the
Two wills of the late J. W. Wright
was concluded for the present before
Probate Judge Doubleday shortly be-
fore supper last night. No further
hearing will be had until the evidence
already in is transcribed, when the
case will be argued.
The Tom Hicks Wright faction has
cast cloud of suspicion over the pur-
ported verbal will of Uncle Jimmy
Wright. 5. j. Nichols and man
named Cokeuour, Of Oxford, testified
on behalf of TON Hicks Wright that
John Porter, one of the witnesses TO
the uOncupative will, told them prior
to Wright's death of scheme to get
the old man to make verbal will
of Els personal property to Mrs.
Amanda Dietrich. Porter was to 60
to Nike TrOutman'S home, where old
man Wright was on his deathbed on
the day Of Sam Smiths preliminary,
when the Tom Hicks Wright outfit
would be away from the place, and IN
Gle Jimmy would be cOaXed to make a
verbal will. For this Porter was to
receive a certain sum of money or a
piece of residence property. The
witnesses also testified that Porter
iDtimated that his wife was staying
at Troutman's home and drawing a
salary from the Wright children for
watching things to their interest.
The testimony was rather sensational
and if true will likely cause somebody
trouble.
Tom Hicks Wright's attorneys Of
fered the dispositions Of Miss Lizzie
Hirons and Charles Willsie, witnesses
to the written will, last night. but the
attorneys tor the other side objected
and they were not admitted at pres.

The Kansas court Of appeals at t.
peka recently rendered a decision of
far reaching Importance to all en-
plOyes of railroad companies. 1t has
been the practice Of the creditors of
railroad employees to garnishee the
wages of such employees in states
other than the state of their residence
and thereby deprive them and Their
families Of the protection of the ex.
emptiUn laws OF their own state. In
this way railroad employees and their
families have been deprived Of the
protection Of all the exemption laws
10 violation IF the spirit of the con-
stitutiOn, which guarantees to all
citizens Of the United States tue
equal protection OF the laws. The
decision says that the funds IN
the hands Of the railroads belonging
to employees are exempt from garnsh
ment. The court claims that wages
10 Missouri are exempt from this kind
of proceeding, and, as the laws of
Missouri and Kansas are much in
harmony, that the suit could have
been brought in either Kansas or
Missouri, "and it is evident that they
chose Kansas with the expectation Of
depriving Kelley Of the benefit of the
exemption laws Of the state of his
residence. 1t seems to US that it is
our duty, as well as matter Of COM
ity between states, that we should
recognize the right Of exemption and
give effect to the exemption laws of
the state of Missouri 10 his behalf"

Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admirable
and attractive thing about an at
tractive woman is her wOmanliness.
Everybody admires womanly wOm-
an. She must have health, OF course,
because without it she would lose the
brightness of her eyes, the fullness of
her cheeks and her vivacity. Real
health must mean that a woman is
really a woman. That she is strong
and perfect in a sexual way, as well as
in every other. That she is capable
of performing perfectly the duties Of
maternity. Some are born with what
is called constitutional weakness.
Those who Go not enjoy perfect
health, need only take the proper pre-.
cautions and the proper remedy to De.
come perfectly well and strong. DR..

will measure nearly foot across the

What strange disease is playing
such havoc with the tlnny tribe is a
mystery 10 AL old fishermen. Such a
condition mas never been known, at

disease seems to be Of a cancerous
nature, affecting alike all kinds Of
animal life in the water. A close in
spection Of some o. the FISH reveals
sores back of the gills and on the tail
This will be found TO be their condi.
tlon just before they are dead. After
death the fish rapidly decay. Hun
dreds Of fish constantly come to the
surface, gasp, turn over on their side
or back and slowly die. They very
seldom get back under the water after
coming TO the surface. 1t is a con-
servative estimate to place the mum.

the dam and few miles north OF the

below the dam is also full of dead
fish. They constantly float down
from up the creek and add their
poisonous, decaying bodies to the city's
water supply.
Immediate steps should be taken by
the Board Of Health to remedy the
matter as much as possible. Any dis.
ease that will play such havoc with
the fish and turtles is certainly dan.
gerous TO the health Of people. 1t is
