News From n Rock Island klondike Pros
Pecting Party.
Golden nuggets are few and far be-
tween in the Klondike according to
the story told in letter which has
been received from Peter Won Postel.
who with Frank Vogel. c. II. fuller
and Claus Won Postel, has been pros
pecting for the past several months
in that country. Mr.. VonPostel's letter
penned Aug 5, holds out little encour-
agement for realization of the hope
which filed thehearts of membersof the
party when they hied from this more
eongenial cline to endure the hard
ships of the newly inhabitated terri
tory.
The day on which the letter was
written the thermometer had reached
us in the sun. The Rock Islanders
were about one hundred miles from
Dawson plodding slowly onward,
pausing at intervals to dig into the
earth, but seldom finding even an evil
dence of the presence of the yellow
metal. However, they had provisions
sufficient for year and would pursue
their search as long AZ they were able
to.
MI. Won Hostel ADVISES hock Islanu
people to stay away from Alaska,
The country is overrun with fortune
hunters, and little remains for those
who go there at this late day. He
states that it is impossible for those
who have not been through it to
imagine the suffering travellers in that
country are obliged to endure. Many
are dying, some from disease and
others from accidents. He blames
the transportation companies for
spreading the alluring reports and at
tracing tae people to the Klondike.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh. to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Diges-
ton Means, Make n Test of
Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience OF an Indianapolis
Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
STA. People having it think that their
nerves are to blame, are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve med
icines and spring remedies; the real
seat of mischief is lost sight of; the
stomach is the origin to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the
stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness. Ner-
vious dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitateS and is irregular, in
others the kidneys are affected, in
others the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite, with
the accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.
A. W. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
street, indianapolis, Ind, writes as
follows: "A motive of pure graft
tude prompts me to write these few
lines regarding the new and valuable
medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
/ have been a sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years; .haVe

keeper with little physical exercise,
but am glad >to state that the tablets
have overcome all these obstacles, for
