The Yukon Route Impassable.

A special courier arrived at Taiya
few days ago from Dawson, sent out
by one OF the trading companies, with
information to the effect that in con-
sequence of the low condition of the
water IN the Yukon river it is very
doubtful whether any river steamers
will be able to reach Dawson this year.
Upon the strength of this report the
Canadian authorities have placed in
force an order making it compulsory
that all persons going down the river
shall have 600 pounds of provisions,
or they will not be allowed to proceed.
This puts an entirely new complexion
on the interior travel this year. The
only way the miners can get out with
any comfort will be. by way OF the pony
express over the Dalton trail OF b the
passes. Alaska Miner. sS.

CUBANS IN AMERICA.
They Are Illiterate and Live in the
Simplest and Humblest
Manner.

The mode of life is very similar to
that which was followed in their native
land. Much of the work is done be-
tween sunrise and the early part of
the forenoon. Then several hours are
given to rest, most of the work dur
ing the heat of the day being per-
formed by negroes, if in the country
district. During the latter portion of
the forenoon, and often far into the
night, the cigarmakers in their little
houses are busily engaged, sometimes
not retiring to rest until midnight.
Their hours of sleep are divided be.
tween the middle of the day and the
middle of the night. In the factories
proper ventilation is obtained by the
means of fans and other artificial de-
vices. Consequently in the warm
months the employees are able to work
for longer period than the ones at
home, but even in the factories ample
time is allowed at noon not only for
the lunch or dinner but for the siesta,
so popular with residents of the
tropics.
With but few exceptions the Cubans
in Florida live in the humblest manner.
Their houses are seldom over one story
high, cheaply built of wood, and con-
tanning little or no furniture. The
mildness of the climate makes fire
for heating purposes unnecessary and
much Of the cooking is done with oil
stoves, although in the country the
old-fashioned chimney fireplace is
used, wood for fuel being obtained
in the neighboring forests. Very few
can read or write and from literary
standpoint their standard is extreme
ly low. AS most of the children work
in the factories, but few have any edu-
cation whatever. Their diet is very
simple, consisting largely of vege-
tables, fruits and fish. Meat as an
article of food is almost unknown

Iodine for Tarantula Bite.
H. Z. Aldrich, fruit dealer, doing
business in Easton, Nd, was bitten on
the hand by tarantula, which jumped
from bunch of bananas. Quickly Mr..
Aldrich's hand swelled to thrice it's
natural size. He had presence of
mind enough to ligature the wrist,
thus keeping the poison from the
larger veins and arteries. Then he
rushed into drug store close by with
hand at that time nearly as big as his
head, ard called for iodine. A stream
of this liquid was poured on the hand,
the ligature was bound more tightly
around the wrist and in an hour the
swelling had visibly subsidized, and in
another hour the pain was gone and
the hand reduced nearly to it's normal
size. Mr.. Aldrich says iodine is con-
sidered Il specific for tarantula bites,
and that importers of bananas and
those who handle them in large guam
titles keep supply of the drug on
hand for uses of their workmen.-

THE BOXERS.
Everything in Readiness for the
Tracey-Mu11er Fight.

William Johnson has been selected by
the Sacramento Athletic Club as ref
cree for the Tracey-Muller fight to take
place tomorrow night under the au-
spices Of the club.
There will be two fourround prelim-
inaries between local men, and the club
officers say they will be away above
the average preliminary events in in
terest. These will begin at $50, and
the main event will open up at 9:3O
o'clock.
Every reasonable precaution has been
taken by the club to insure square
battle, but there is no reason to s1s-
pect the principals Of any desire to put
up any other kind of a fight. Neither
man can afford to lose if he can pos
sibly avoid it, as both have champion
ship aspirations.
The men Will be subjected to a rigid
examination by competent physician,
though both are known to be in the
best possible condition.

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble
Instantly Relieved and Perma.
nently Cured by Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a. remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the
new discovery, Stuarfs Dyspepsia
Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected, eaus-
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night
l gave him powerful nerve tonicS and
blood remedies, but to no purpose AS
an experiment I finally bought a fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
Watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and 12 pounds in
weight Of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or invalids
or in any condition of the stomach with
perfect safety, being harmless and
containing nothing but vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden
Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton, biliousness, constipation and all
arrangements Of the stomach however
slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich,
and sold by druggists everywhere al
fifty cents per package.

There was but small audience in
attendance last evening at the second
presentation of the comedy Of "The
Leading Man" The play and company
deserved better patronage. The melo-
drama, 1.-THE Signal of Liberty" to be
played at the Orpheum Saturday after
noon and evening next, is from the pen
Of w. J. Jossey, and is the first Of the
late war dramas to be brought out It
is a scenic piece, and introduces among
other views the Maine saluting. the
explosion on the Wilmington, the
wreck Of the Maine, the destruction
of Cervera's fleet and the occupation
Of Santiago by General Skaters
troops. The story of the play is of
the American army and navy, and is
based on the imprisonment Of Mario
Cardenas, Cuban patriot, and the
cruelty to which he was subjected by
the Spanish Government. The Seattle
Post t-Intelligencer'' of late date says
that the melodrama when given there

A NEW YORKER SURPRISED
Routed by One Glance at the Maj
of This State.

One of the most interesting shows IN
the Capitol building is the relief map
Of California. Nothing in the entire
building, from the circuses that occur
before the Lunacy Commissioners down
to the strangest freaks in the State
Library, can rival some of the odd ex-
periences to be seen by one who OBJ
serves the multitude Of visitors study
ing the great raised map of California.
Nothing shows the provincialism OF
those who come dbere more than thls'
said the custodian Of the building yes
terday, land 1 must tell you how SELF
important people sometimes find them
selves away off on their bearings.
"A few days ago, for example" he
continued, there was funny old fellow
from New York in here. l could not
get into his head that California is
larger than New York. He insisted
that that was the Empire State.
"'You ought to see how big New
York State is,' he said once or twice,
whereupon I said: I know how big ii
is, and / shall be glad to show YOU
So / took the pointer and showed him
three of the gigantic southern counties
of the State, saying: Old fellow, you
could lose New York here in these three
counties and have 500 or 600 square
miles to spare
7 want to know he said, but
had got started and l kept 1t up as
follows:
" See this space?' I said, as I pointed
to the outlines of California. Well,
continued, If you could lift the States
of the Union you could throw into Cal
ifornia's broad acres the States of New
York. all the New England States ano
Ohio, and there would still be few
hundred square miles to spare"
The old fellow from New York took
with him a photograph of the relief
map of California, which is specklec
with statistical facts and figures about
the country and its area, and he took
to his heels and has not been seer
since As he went out the door he
murmured "Hully gee, what a State!'

This system, which is used in many

under the heading of its proper name,
under the general class or subject of
the work, and finally under the name
of the author. This will make the
