Ask Aid for children,s Hospital.

The Children's Hospital is sorely in
need of funds. Its managers appeal to
the public for assistance as a last resort,
and hope that funds sufficient to maintain
the institution for some time will be con-
tributed. Many pitiful cases are being
treated under its shelter, and 1t would
be subject of regret If the good work
of the past years should have to be dis
for lack of money.

NAPoLEoN's VALUE OF VICTORY.
1t Finds Striking Counterpart in Recent
World Triumphs

1t Finds @ Striking Counterpart in Recent
World Triumphs.
Napoleon knew we'll the value of vic
tory. After Austerlitz the world SEEM
ed his. Fame invited, fortune favored,
everything stimulated his aspiring am.
bition. With growing power he gather
ed the fruits of victory. And so has it
ever been. Success succeeds. A notable
illustration of this truth is furnished by
the great victories won at the Worlds
Fair in '93, and the California Midwinter
Fair in '94 by Dir Prices Cream Baking
Powder. Ever increasing sales and
popularity have been the result. The
people have promptly ratified the Off
cial verdicts that declared DR.. Prices,
for leavening power, keeping qualities,
purity and general excellence the "fore-
most baking powder in all the world"
Quite as quickly as the great Empei or
do they know the value of victory

south Dakota VS.. Klondike.

1t 10 an n eunced that the gold output
Of the Black Hills this year will am ouat
to $8,0O0,00
The superintendent Of the San Fran
cisco mint estimates that the returns
from the much vaunted FL Dorado Of
the north, the Klondike, will not 60
above $6,0oO,000 That is to say, the
Yukon's yield of gold is s2,00o,00O less
than that of the state of Sonth Dakota,
whose basis of material prosperity is
chiefly in its agricultural resources.
The gold production of South Dakota,
while it exceeds that of the Klondike, is
but drop in the bucket Of wealth de-
rived from the states rich soil. The
wheat crop alone of this year at lhe low
price of fifty cents a bushel. is worth
more than three times the states yield OF
native gold, and four times that of the
Klondike. The stock on the ranges and
farms, the dairy, the chickens, the root
crops and all the returns from the soil
of the state, added to the wheat crop,
are estimated to afford the tremendous
sum of $500 for each family in the state.
There were in 1890 7O,250 families. If
the increase has been twenty per cent,
there are now 81, 800 families resident in
the state, The agricultural product on,
therefor for the year amounts to $42,
10000, or moro than seven times as
much as the gold yield of the Klondike.
The chief production of the Klondike,
besides gold, are ice and mosquitoes.
The harvest of the great majority of the
argonauts to the northern wilderness has
been hunger. hardship and death.
Ninety. nine out of the hundred advent
urers to the frozen region have drawn
blanks. Contrast the condition of the
Klondike gold seeker with that of the
South Dakotan, surrounded by peace
and plenty, and with bright prospects
for the future. The one in a land of
comfort, with schools and churches and
order and all the equipments Of modern
civilization. The other in q desolatiou
where men wild with privation illustrate
the worst instincts of human nature.
There are no blanks in South Dakota
for energy and efficiency. The cost OF
getting to the Klondike would afford
the adventnrer foothold on the fertile
soil of South Dakota, and one half the
vigor expended in traversing the
mountains and streams aud enduring
the hardships of Alaska would bring
sure golden returns in the state which
may ne reached in vanished cars with
out bit of hardship.
The men who have rushed past the
rich prospects of the northwest in the
mad quest of gold have gone far to fare
badly. The Klondike does not promise
to yield in generation as much wealth
as South Dakota has produced in a sim
gle year. What it does reluctantly give
np must be obtained at the cost of an
immense outlay of endurance and great
sacrifice of comfort.-Sioux City Jour
nal.

The Minneapolis Tribune, in speak
ing Of the republican state convention
at Mitchell last week, says: "The re-
publicans of South Dakota have inaugu-
rated their campaign under highly
favoring auspices by placinga wholly Uni
Objectionable and thoroughly represen-
tatiye ticket upon a platform right in
line with the progressive spirit Of the
hour. The proceedings Of the conven-
ton, while spirited in many respects
and far from being cut and dried, were
marked by an evident desire to do the
very best thing for the party, all things
considered, and careful study of the
ticket both as to its personnel and it's
geographical location will show that this
end has been attained to a very large
degree. The utterances of the platform
on the money question and on state
affairs are right to the point and pave
the way for straightforward fight
against the fusion forces, which are
planning to cover up the shortcomings
OF their own administration of state
affairs by beclouding the real issues at
stake. There is every reason for believ-
ing that the Republicans of South Da-
kota will land their state once more
within the ranks Of the progressive
party of the nation and that the recent
signal victory in Oregon will be dupli-
Gated in large degree, il not to the
same extent"

The Omaha Exposition.

There is no question about the i'm
mensity of the Trans Mississippi Ex-
position now being held at Omaha.
Nothing has occurred of this character
in the United States to equal this great
display saving and excepting the fam
Gus Worlds Fair. There has been no
other event Of equal importance T; there
has been no other occasion upon which
similar amount has been expended in
fitting grounds, in the construction Of
large and expensive Buildings and the
furnishing of interesting programs for
the people to enjoy. The exhibits In
the Machinery hall, Agricultural hall,
Government building, and other de-
partments, are almost equal to the
grand display made at the Worlds Fair
held in Chicago The Midway is rare
reproduction of the famous scenes on
the Midway Plaisance. and many of the
features excel that important feature Of
the Worlds Fair. The Streets of All
Nations, something after the style of
the Streets of Cairo, is much superior
in everv way to its companion that was
made famous in 1898 by the exposition
on the lake. Many extraordinary at.
fractions are presented to the people
daily, among which are the free open
air concerts by the most famous bands
of the country. The exposition is well
worth visit, and whoever you are you
may prepare yourself to be surprised at
the extent and character Of the wonder
ful displays you will see.

Returned from Alaska.

Charles Edgerton returned from Cop
per River, Alaska, a couple of weeks
ago. He did not reach KlondIke by
about 275 miles and comes bacl; to the
Hills perfectly satisfied that the Alaskan
gold fields are not what they appear to
be at this distance, and that this coun-
try is good enough for him. The great
est of hardships must be endured by all
that 60 into the Alaska country. Thou
sands are returning disheartened and
with less money than with which they
started. He says the chances are bet
ter right here in the Hills, than in Alas
ka, and without any of the privations.
A glacier thirty two miles wide had to
be crossed going in and returning. 1t
took the party he was with thirty-four
days to cross it going. All fuel that was
used while crossing had to be carried
with them. He says that while return
ing he never came so near freezing to
death in his life as he did on the gla-
cier in July. This glacier is 1900 feet
high and over it Is the only practicable
route, as the current in the rivers is so
swift and the waters so turbulent. that
II Is perilous trip up or down them.
Going over the glacier is not free from
perils by any means, as there are hun
dreds of crevices in it from two to three
feet wide and apparently bottomless
that can only be crossed by jumping.
He left Frank Graham on Tasalena
river, tributary of Copper river. Gra-
ham will spend the winter in that
country. Their health was good.-Her-
mosa Pilot.

Mining Items.

) Another car load of ore is reported rs
having been shipped last week from the
Spokane mine, about fifteen miles east
of this place.
A big body of refractory ore has been
encountered in the drift on the Sunny.

Hill City News. II is an entire new
ledge, and one for which the owners
were not looking Drifting for the

A. w. Odell, of Hot Springs, is re-
ported to have sold a one half interest
in his stone quarries near that place to
an eastern firm of contractors and build
ers for cash consideration ofs12,0o0.
He has force of dozen men at work
repairing roads, putting buildings in
shape, stripping the qusrries, and other
wise preparing for extensive business.
The Fitzpatrick Bros. Of Newcastle
have a good force of men employed in
the Jenney's gulch district on some
ground of theirs at Silver City, and are
making an excellent showing. They
are sinking on free-milling PROPOSE
ton, and at a depth of 40 feet they have
a ledge of ore eight feet wide and run
ing $25 to the ton. They haye a large
amornt of ground in that region, and
are assured of rich returns for the work
they are doing, The prospectors in that
district have been lately devoting their
attention almost exclusively to free.mil-
ling ore, and large number of good
prospects are being obtained. There
will undoubtedly be some valuable de-
velopments in that part of the Hills this
fall.-Pioneer-Times.
From Frank Mclaughlin. who return.

tunnel from the bottom ofthe shaft cross

Wednesday. This is one of the few.
mining companies who have become
interested In the southern Mills, who
seem to have the enterprise to 60 ahead
and do something, and while we con-
gratulate them upon the excellent show
