AwoRo OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
 klondike Gold Fields.

One thing should he impressed upon every miner, prospector or trader coming to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the Yukon country, and that Is the necessity for provid- ing an adequate 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 to the selec- tion of foods that will keep unim- paired indefinitely unler all the conditions wi icb they will have to encounter Is imperative. For in stance, as bread raised with baking pow der must be relied upon for the chief part of every meal, imagine the helplessness of a miDer with a can of spoiled baking powder. Buy only the very best flour; it is the cheapest m the end. Experience has shown the Royal Baking Pow der 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 abso- lute necessities upon which all must place a chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospeetor may be able to pack or desire to pay fOr.-From the Alaska Mining Journal.

About seven years ago the La Grippe
visited various sections OF the country
In its deadly might scattering disease and
death among its hosts of victims.
Most of those afflicted who escaped
death then, have lived on in suffering,
broken in health and ambition; for the
after-effeets Of this disease are dangerous.
A large portion Of the survivors have a
feeling Of oppression in the chest.
A little exertion causes a violent action
Of the heart, described as "palpitation."
There is mental anxiety, depression,
blueness Of the skin, indicating impaired
circulation of the blood.
The sluggishness OF its circulation I'M
pairs the functions of most Of the organs;
the stomach and intestines fail to perform
their work, while the appetite and digcs-
ton become seriously affected.
This complaint has baffled eminent
physicians and exhausted the results of
pharmacopoeia.
Recently however, a means for a cur

Among those who have been restored to
health by it is Herman H. Eveler, of 81
W. Main Street, Jefferson, Mo-, a resident
Of that city for thirty-eight years, we'll

He was one Of the victims Of the

LOWER HoRsEHEAD NOTES.

Last Sunday afternoon brought the
heaviest rainfall ever known in these
parts. Water came down the valleys
from six to eight feet abreast sweeping
everything before it. Farm nipple
ments, vehicles, tools, harness, corrals,
and corral poles, wood piles, chicken
coops, and everything that could float
came down stream in one mad rush.
Everything loose on John Yeager's and
Cannon Fishers ranches went down
stream, making q severe loss to each.
"A few days ago Mrs. Albert Silcox
stepped backward into a we'll about II
feet deep. 1t created a little excite
ment at first but no serious results
followed.
For a good Cuban digar John Moran
will tell who the fellow was who got
lost on his way home from seeing his
girl and spent the remainder OF the
night in his chicken coop.
Corn is growing so fast that you can
hear it crack.
y number of gardens and fields of
crops were washed out during the rain
Sunday afternoon. Like all our late
naval victories on Sunday, this storm
went i'll on a gigantic scale and sur
prised everyone. Some of the farm
buildings we're from four to six feet in
water.

Hit Her fin tha Neck.

A recent book of travel in British Guiana gives an incident which, if there be any meaning in grammar, is an appalling illustration of the effect of tropical life in developing latent cannibalistic instincts in cultivated Englishmen. The author is relating stories of the insect pests of that col ony, and says: One lady that l knew whilst busy at her toilet felt some thing crawling on her shoulder. She screamed and called her husband, and he had just time to knock the centi- pede off before biting her in the neck" It would have been more in accord ance with our English notions of fair play if, instead of thus taking advan- tage of his wife's hysteria, he had 1en- joyed his morsel in the course of 8 set quarrel.-London Sketch.

....ement by Hon. George D. MeiI1Ie-
 ,obn, Assistant Secretary of War.
 Criticisms of the waf department, ..garding the delays which have att ,s9ded the mobilization, arming and 'sainping of the troops, are attribut- s5 sSe to want of knowledge of the ele. msnts of the difficult proble.Z which aonfronted the military authorities at tbe outbreak of hostilities. As mat for of fact, in the history of warfare rom the earliest days there has not bsen such an exhibition of quickness and resource in the placing of a great orlny in the field as has been offered hv this government during the last ten weeks. It must be considered that this army has been built up out of citizen material, being called from all walks of life, the millionaire's son enlisting Sy the side of the clerk fresh from the counter. and the country boy sum- moned from the blow.

in condemning the bad guns and mak- ing acquisitions for others, and it was not possible for this department to furinsh rifles or any kind of equip ments to the soldiers until they were actually mustered into the federal service. That was matter controlled by law.
 The equipments furnished by the ordnance department are numerous and varied, and most of them are not articles of trade in the ordinary sense. We had to find people who possessed facilities for producing them, and they had actually to be taught how to make them. Some of the contractors were late with their deliveries, and the goods furnished by others were worthless and had to be condemned. All of this was entirely beyond our control, and could not have been avoided by any foresight on our part. There was an emergent demand, and the material was not at hand to sat isfy it; that is the whole story. The result was that many of the troops lacked equipments, and by no means all of them have been fully supplied yet More or less confusion has been caused by the unavoidable hurry, in- volying additional delay Neverthe- less, not many more days will elapse before we shall be fully up to date, and no soldier will lack anything that it is our business to supply.
 At present we are turning out equip ments of all sorts at rate to supply 5000 men per day, including every thing down to canteens, meat cans, spoons and forks. At no time have I allowed the troops at Tampa to be without all the equipments required for service in the field, the idea of this being that the soldiers likely to be sent to the front at any time must lack nothing. On the other hand, the camps at Fort Alger and elsewhere, which were not to be drawn upon im- mediately for men, have been kept waiting for their supplies. This has been misunderstood to some extent, and I have even been accused of fa- voritism, but it is easily seen that no other method could have been adopted with propriety. We are pretty nearly out of the woods now, happily.
 Meanwhile, the arsenals have been pushed to the utmost, and rifles have been turned out as fast as possible I am not permitted to say how many guns per day we are making, because that would be information for the en- emy One remark 1 ould like to make in regard to charges recently published to the effect that the government is supplying the troops with an obsolete worthless sarm-namely, the Spring field rife Nothing could be more un- true, and statements of the kind are sincerely to be deplored, .nasmuch as they are calculated to demoralize our soldiers. The Springfield rife is one of the best guns Tn the world, and know of no arm which would so will ingly put into the hands of new troops
