ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
Some Requirements That VIII BE
Found Indispensable.

Found Indfspensable.
The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
BILE, is bread or biscuit. And tomake the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes of
the Royal Baking Powder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
he be persuaded by some outfitter to
AXE one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor in packing it
over the long and difficult route, he will
find solid caked mass or lot of spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such a mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try to
economic with your stomach. For use
in such climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. 1t
is absurd to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost great part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow
In these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called "the
father of Alaska" after an experience
of years upon the trail, in the camp, and
in the use of every kind of supply, says:
"We find in Alaska that the Importance
of a proper kind of baking powder can
can of bad baking powder is almost
helpless in Alaska. We have tried all
sorts, and have been obliged to settle
down to use nothing but Royal. 1t
is stronger, and carries further, but,
above all things, it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the U.
S. Government in it's relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose it's strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most nightly concentrated and eff
ficient of leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had of any OF the trading COM
panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great

To Denver i'm Less Than % Hours
Only One Night En- Route.-''Tthe
Colorado Special"

Beginning Feb 9th, a new train was
placed in service between Chicago and Den
yer via the Chicago, Union Pacific & North
Western Line, which will make the fastest
schedule ever maintained between Chicago
and Colorado's Capital City.
This train will be known as "The Colorado
Special and will leave Chicago via the Chi
cago & Northwestern R'y at 1000 A. M
every day and reach Denver at 80 the fol.
lowing afternoon. Eastbound, this train
will leave Denver daily at $3.50 p. NJ and
reach Chicago 8:45 the next evening. Con.
nections will be made in the Union Depot
at Denver to and from trains of all the Colo
RADIO lines.
Train will be vestibuled throughout,
lighted with Pintsch gas, and will consist of
Drawing Room Sleeping Cars, Free Reclin-
ing Chair Cars, Buffet, Smoking and Lii
brary Cars, coaches and Dining Cars serving
all meals en- route. A feature in connection
with the service of this train, which will be
appreciated by tourists, is that it will afford
an opportunity for daylight ride through
the progressive and thickly settled portions
of Illinois and Iowa, which has been i'm.
possible heretofore, as all trains for Denver
have left Chicago in the evening.

HOW SHE MANAGED HIM.

II don't try to manage him. / just let him
alone"
..But how do you make up?"
I'VE don't make up. You see, he is al
ways as cross as two sticks at breakfast and
says a whole lot of sarcastic things about
women attending to their households, and
club women, and any other old thing he can
think of, and then he goes away mad and
slams the front door"
"You poor thing. And people say you are
so congenial and so well suited to each
other"

night he hands me a little package and says
he hopes it will please me, and tell him
he is too good, and / wish all women had as
good husband as mine. Then see what
he's giving me, and sometimes it's a lovely
belt or a new chatelaine, or fancy scarf
and give him kiss mad ask him to forgive
me for being cross in the morning"
The other woman looked dazed and went on
slipping her chocolate in profound silence as
long as she could stand it. Then she flashed

THE TRIAL AT LATTIMER.
Evidence as to Brutal Threat by {
Deputy Stricken Out.


Deputy Stricken Out.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. THE first
week of the trial of Sheriff Martin and
his deputies ended Saturday with the
case well under way, and the jury hav-
ing lot of evidence to think about
over Sunday. There was the usual
crowd at the morning session.
The first witness, Michael Nichol-
son, described the condition of some of
the wounded on the road near Latti-
mer. One man died as he watched him;
five others whom he saw were badly
wounded.
The witness came upon a dying
striker, and was joined by man named
Costello. While they were trying to aid
the man, deputy named Alfred Hess
came up, and Costello, with great in
dignation, said it was scandalous
piece of work the deputies had done,
whereupon Hess replied: "You shut up,
or I'll treat you the same way"
The defense objected to this reference
to Hess, and the evidence was stricken
out.
The next witness, one of the most inn
portant of those to be heard on behalf
of the commonwealth, was John Egler,
Lecretary of the HARDWOOD union of
the United Ironworkers. He told how,
on the night before the shooting, a
meeting had been held at HARDWOOD, ard
the men gathered there decided to march
over to Lattimer that day to show them
selves to the men at that place at the
81
American flag and nailed it to long
pole he had cut. They agreed, he said,
| to march unarmed, and to behave peace
ably. Speaking of the meeting with the
sheriff and deputies at West Hazleton,
witness said: "They rushed at US and
pointed their guns in our faces and told
us to stop. l explained to the sheriff
that we were just going to show our
selves to the Lattimer men, and were
going to do no harm to anybody. The
sheriff said: If you get to Lattimer,
you must kill me- Burgess Jones, of
West Hazleton, said we could march
through the streets, and so the sheriff
and deputies went away and we
marched on to Lattimer."
The witness said that at Lattimer he
i
again told the sheriff they were not
armed and would behave themselves
The sheriff pulled couple of men out
of the ranks and drew his revolver, and
witness saw him trying to shoot one of
| the strikers. The revolver did not ex-
plode, however, and then crowd
| formed around the sheriff. At this time
| there was a shot, and then three or four
shots, and at last volley. Witness
| fell down between two men. but did
not think the men were shooting ball
cartridges until he saw one of the men
bleeding. Then he got up and ran
with the rest and the bullets kept whiz-
zing about his ears. He saw lots of
wounded men, but did not go near the
deputies as he was afraid.
On cross-examination Egler admitted
that when the sheriff told them to dis
perse he said: eve amt going to; we
are going to Lattimer."
After the cross-examination of Egler
the court adjourned.

washing is usually done by the married SOL
diers' wives, who are expected to sew on
missing buttons and do repairs, for which
small sum is deducted from the private's
pay.
Pat McGinnis had good deal of trouble
with his laundress; Sunday after Sunday
had his shirt come back with the neck but
ton off, or else .hanging'by thread. He
had spoken to her on the subject and she
had promised to see t., it, but still the but
ton was not on properly.
He got out of patience one Sunday when
the missing button had made him late for
parade, and exclaimed:
Bother the woman! I'll see if I can't
give her hint this time, anyhow"
He then took the lid of tin blacking box,
about three inches in diameter, drilled two
holes in it with fork and sewed it on to the
neck of the shirt that was next to be
washed; When his washing came back he
found that she had taken the hint; she had
made a button hole to fit it.-Detroit Free

liable Property in Savannah.
Savannah, Ca, Feb. 7-Sarannah's
epidemic of fire continues. Sunday
night damage to the extent of $125, 900
was caused by confiagration which
started in hay warehouse on the
wharf at the foot of Jefferson street.
The fire communicated itself to several
brick buildings on Bay street and three
of them were entirely Quilted The
heaviest loss was that sustained by
Charles A. Conklin & Co., of Atlanta,
who carried a 100000 stock of hard
ware. The firm carried about SIS 900
insurance. There seems to be no ques-
ton but that the fire was of incendiary
origin. There have been a dozen fires
here within the last two weeks and
there is considerable talk of firebugs.
Before the fire, which broke out in
the hay warehouse, had been brought
under con troll, flames burst out in the
magnificent cathedral of ST. John the
Baptist, the head seat of the Catholic
church in the state of Georgia. and it
was soon in ruins. The fire started
in the organ loft and spread rapidly
through the church. Everything was
removed from the reside noes in the vi
cinity and it was only after struggle
that they were saved. AT midnight the
destruction of the cathedral was COM
plete. The cathedral cost about $685.
600 and was insured for 100000. 1t was
one of the finest ecclesiastical struc-
lures in the south. The edifice con-
tanned many works of art, all of which
were saved

, are only a few of them left

There are only a few of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me-
dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune,
is the chief surviving representative of the
old school of virile, aggressive editorial
giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at all times, but to find health
in mud is rather modern innovation. That
is what Joseph Medill has been doing of
late.
Mr.. Medill is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno-Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh it's value. He was accom-
panied by his private physician, young
Armenian scientist of high attainments.
The great editor was mud-mummifed daily
for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The final result of the experiment was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno- Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law for a
little of the mud-treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor four times year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
Alter all, every form OF LIE springs from the
earth, which is the great destroyer and assim-
ilator of dead and effete matter At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot of
the converging hills, big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of 5000 barrels day
and floods the soil, which consists of a rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deciduous
foliage of the. oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for aces is az
soluble as sugar. and being devoid Of Claw is is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
Of the roadway, of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
The mud is applied to the patient on cot,
the subject being entirely encased in the
substance, steamed to proper temperature.
1t then acts as a poultice, stimulates the
skin, superficial blood vessels and nerves,
opens the pores and Initiates the blood, dis.
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more rational.
