IRIS. LOUISA McCAY SMITH.

Parkersburg state Journal March 20.
Mrs. Louisa Smith passed quietly
away about 10 o'clock last night, at
her apartments at the Hotel Blenner-
hassett. The deceased was the aged
mother OF Mr.. Lloyd +, Smith, prop.
rietor of that hotel She had just en-
tered her seventy-seventh year, having
passed seventy-sixth birthday only
last Sunday. Her illness which was OF
several weeks duration, was due
mainly to old age. She was a devout
Christian and lifelong worker in the
chnrch. She is survived by five
children, whose loss of beloved par
ent has gained them the sympathy of
a wide circle of friends. They are A.
B. Smith, editor of the Martinsburg
Herald; Lloyd +. Smith, of this city;
Gilbert D. Smith, of Middlebourue;
Miss Jenny Smith, of this city, and
Mrs. Belle Furbee, of Alma. The re-

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
Klondike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed
upon every miner, prospector or trad
er coming to Alaska, to the Klondike,
or the Yukon country, and that is
the necessity for providing an ade-
quate and. proper food supply.
Whether procured in the States, in
the Dominion, or at the supply stores
here or further on, this must be his
primary concern. Upon the manner
in which the miner has observed or
neglected this precaution more than
upon any other one thing will his
success or failure depend
These supplies must be healthful
and should be concentrated, but the
most careful attention in the selection
of foods that will keep unimpaired
indefinitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance, as bread
raised with baking powder must be
relied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the helplessness of
miner with a eau OF spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best -four;
it is the cheapest in the end. Exper-
fence has shown the Royal Baking
Powder to be the most reliable and
the trading companies now uniformly
supply this brand, as others will not
keep in this climate. Be sure that
the bacon is sweet, sound and thor
oughly cured, These are the absolute
necessities upon which all must
place chief reliance, and can under
no circumstances be neglected. They
may of course, be supplemented by
as many comforts or delicacies as the
prospector may be able to pack or
desire to pay for.-From the Alaska
Mining Journal.
A book OF receipts Tor all kinds of
cookery, which is specially valuable
for use upon the trail or in the camp,
published by the Royal Baking
Powder Company, of New York.
The receipts are thoroughly practical,
and the methods are carefully ex-
planned, so that the inexperienced
may, with its aid, readily prepare
every thing requisite for a good,
wholesome meal, or even dainties if
he has the necessary materials. The
matter is in compact though durable
form, the whole book weighing but
two ounces, Under a special arrange
ment, this book will be sent free to
miners or others who may desire it.
We would recommend that every one
going to the Klondike procure d copy.

GAINESVILLE Times.
Every sincere friend of John II. Reagan
is glad that he has retired from the SEN
atorial race. In the first place they feared
that he would again be defeated by his
younger and more agile opponent. In the
second place they knew that little service
could be expected of him in the event of
his election. His support came altogether
from those who believe his past public
services entitle him to any honor he may
desire at the hands of his people. Such an
idea, however, was not prevalent enough
among the people 10 insure his election.

he has Withdrawn before the returns have

he Will be content TO remain at the head

withdrawal leaves no one to take his place.
Land Commissioner Baker has been cred
tied with an ambition along senatorial
lines, but should his ambition overbalance
his judgment sufficiently to urge him into
the race he will hardly make showing
satisfactory to his friends. OF course Mills
is more or less in it, but Mills is on his last
political legs and may as well be classed
at once with the has-beens. The field is
clear for Charles A. Culberson, and this
