- desires us to publish the following extract from q letter of Chas. M. Gutfeld, of Reedley, Fresno county, Cal, as he handles the rem edy referred to and wants his GUS toners to know what splendid med icine it is: 'It is with pleasure l tell you that by one days use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy l was re- lieved of very severe cold. My head was completely stopped up and l could not sleep at night. l can rec ommend this remedy" A cold nearly always starts in the head and after wards extends to the throat and lungs. By using this remedy freely as soon as the cold has been contracted it will cure the cold at once and pre- vent it from extending to the lungs. For sale by H, c. Hitchcock, druggist.

YUKON GOLD OUTPUT.

The official estimates of the gold ob- tained from the Yukon region in 1897, submitted by the Canadian geological survey to the Dominion parliament, agree very nearly with those of the Engineering and Mining Journal. Dr. Dawson, the head of the survey, puts the total at g., 5000 for the year 1897; and he is careful to add that at present there is no recognized method of obtaining accurate statistics, or of separating the amount of gold obtained on the Canadian side of the line from that mined in Alaska.
 Gold has been coming from the Yukon for nearly ten years past, and the Canadian survey has included n its return statement for previous years, which gives the following figures: For 1889, S175,0O 1890, Sl75, ,000; 1891, $40, ,O0O; 1892, SS7,O0O; 1893, Sl76,- 900; 1894, sl25, 900; 1895, S250, ,00O; 1896, $500, ,000; small amounts sent ont previous to 1889 bring the total to the end of 1896 up to Sl 500, ,O00. The novelty in the output of 1897 was not in the discovery of the existence of gold in the Yukon country, but in the sudden increase in the amount, which was magnified by rumor and by the stories of interested parties to four or five times its real proportions.
 The Canadian survey does not. nor could it. in any way estimate the cost of time, money and life at which this gold was taken out, but there can be little doubt that the expenditure has greatly exceeded the returns.

Information has been received from Washington which leads prominent miners to believe that there is fair opportunity for the passage of the bill for the creation of an executive depart. ment of mines and mining. It is q matter that has the strong support of all the states west of the Mississippi and the various mining associations.

THE MAILS.
A LAW TO PROTECT THUGS

There IS law against carrying con eealed weapons. Theoretically 1t is a wise and proper ordinance. But us a matter of practical fact the only per sons who honor this law are tEe vic tins of the murderer, the footpad and the rowdy. The law disarms the only class who could with safety be trusted to carry weapons of self defense and puts them at the mercy of every crim- inal they meet. What real service does this regulation perform in the so- cial scheme we should like to know? It sacrifices good citizens and it imposes absolutely no restraint whatever upon the others. It is our deliberate opin. ion that any respectable person who has been threatened by crank should be authorized to arm himself and should be held guiltless if, at the slight est menace from that quarter, he uses his weapon with promptness and eff ciency. The life of one useful, law abiding citizen is worth hundred of these pestlferous vermin, and no law should impose upon him the risk of defenselessness in case of murderous attack. We do not advocate law breaking. What we propose is such an amendment of the law as will fit the situation. Every rufiian, crank and criminal carries his pistol or his knife. Why should decent people be put and kept ct their mercy? Why should We have laws which sacrifice their friends and strengthen and uphold their ene- mies?- -Ex.

A practical and successful test has been made in the transmission of pie. lures over an ordinary telegraph wire. The instrument is the invention oi Ernest A. Hummel, of St. Paul, Miun. The test was made in the New York Herald office under strict supervision, and the results were in every respect satisfying. The portrait of Mayor Van Wyck was transmitted over circuit of six miles. Other pictures were then sent over the wire with equal success.

WASHINGTON, May Especial
Without "A doubt President Mckinley has
made the most popular nomination OF his
administration in naming General Lee as
oLe of the new major generals. The ap-
nointment had been expected for SO many
weeks that no special comment was made
when it went TO tho Senate to-day, but
the public had been growing somewhat
impatient recently az the delay.
About the only surprise In the list was
a negative One-the omission OF General
Woodford name although that may go
In later.
IN conformity with time-honored GUS
tom, the Senate confirmed the nomina-
ton OF Senator Scwall at once. the rule
being to act without delay on the romi-
nation OF one Of their own number.
Among those visiting the city are the
following.
Mrs. n. p. Jewett. Of Norfolk: Mr. and
Mrs. w. H. Trice, OF Norfolk and John
