 The Turkey Shoot.

At the turkey shooting yesterday, had
 near Overlock's slaughterhouse below
 town, plenty of turkeys were provided
 by the Messrs. Overlook, and quite a
 number of our townsfolk were there.
 Among those who participated in the shooting were Star Williams, Dayton Graham, Mike Medlgovich, Sam Medi- govich, Sam Aneius, Sid Harris, Harry Holbfook, George Swan, Tom Reinhardt, Henry Nelson, Harry Loudermilk, Jack Munch, Jack Hankins, Lee Burton and Jack Hehey. One hundred and ninety shots were paid for and fired Eleven tur keys were killed. Mike Medigovich got five, Henry Nelson, four, and Sam An gius and Jack Munch one each Some of the shooters are today claiming the credit of having done good shooting, since they shot twenty or thirty shots, and while they did not get any turkeys they also escaped the payment of any damages they might have incurred had they hit the slaughter-house or killed some of Overlock's fat beeves. The shooting commenced at range ot sev-, ty five yards, which was reduced later to sixty-five yards, and finally Mir. Over lock. out of a kindly consideration for the bad luck of the good shots already referred to, volunteered to hold the heads of the target turkeys up with stick, but took care to have long stick However, during the turkey shoot all were merry as crickets and at it's close they trudged home, those with turkeys and those without, being equally good humored, or at least apparently SO. Why shouldn't they have been so. since those who had the turkeys were cer tainly not entitled to "kick," and those who had none were perfectly sat. isfed with the arguments they gave as reasons for not having any; at any rate everybody in Bisbee had turkey for din- ner yesterday.

PENNTLESS AND ALONE.
An Old Man With a Team Journeys
Toward the KIondike.

tend with" said an old man as he
leaned against the front wheel of a di-
lapidated wagon and gazed mournfully
at a pair of lean, decrepit horses at
Fourth and Jackson streets today, L
would be happy. Not happy, either but
any other circumstances than those
which now surround me would be at
least agreeable
The speaker was James H. Johnson.
He has migrated from place to place for
the past six months, and now thinks
he will be able to get far enough west
by the first of May to sell his outfit and
then in some manner make his way to
the Klondike country.
There may be I can work for some

I get enough to eat until my time comes
that is all 1 want. I sometimes think

with my family, but then, you know, -

"a man must not violate the laws of
God in taking himself out of the world.
1 have nothing to live for. Two years
ago I lived in the south, near the line
dividing Arkansas from Louisiana, and
was happy. 1 had a good home, MOTH

which to keep my family and plenty for
all of us to live on. I owned the place
and there was no mortgage on it. One
OF my three girls took sick and soon
died. Then my wife, who had been
grave. We buried the other two girls
and the only boy I had, a strapping
young fellow, followed them within six
months. During the sickness Of the
members of the family our small means
were entirely consumed and our home
was covered by a mortgage. When the
mortgage came due 1 could not raise
the price of a meal and the property
was sold. I managed to save that team
and the wa gon with a few necessities in
the way of clothing, and started out
where I did not know, and can't now
tell where I expect to go.
People are getting rich in the Klon-
dixie, so they say, but I'll never get
there. I have no means. I have trav-
elled-travelled and mourned. There is
nothing else for me to do. When spring
1 can do nothing now. When 1 offer to

The remarkable experience of Mrs. c.
A. Merrill. Chetopa, Kan, is related by
her husband; who tells how she was
afflicted with a most peculiar nervous
trouble, and how through an unexpect-
ed agency, her health was finally re-
stored. Mr.. Merrill writes as follows:
"a few years ago while living at Ell
Paso, Tex, my wife was stricken with
a severe nervous af1iction, which at
times would seem to almost drive her
insane from her intense suffering. The
trouble consisted of a very severe pain
in the right nasal cavity, and extend

TO DREDGE FOR GOLD.
A Syndicate Buys Exclusive
Rights ON the KlOndike
Rivers.

Montreal, Feb. N.-Joseph A. Mercier,
brother of the late premier. backed by
immense capital, has just concluded deal
with the government by which he has
the sole right to dredge 2SO miles of rivers
in the heart Of the Klondike district.
The arrangement is for from five to
30 miles on each of the IA rivers in the
Klondike district. An immense sum of
money has been paid for the privileges,
but the present owners of these have no
intention of operating them themselves.
The idea is simply to launch the scheme
on the London and American markets,
and Mr. Mercier says that while for the
present the names of the men interested
are not to be made public, they are most
ly New Workers., and it will undoubtedly
be mostly New York money that will ham
die the deal for the present.
A cable from London says that London
ers approve the scheme, as it is known
there that gold lies in the beds of all the
rivers, but the English require further
particulars before investing their money.
That means" said Mr.. Mercier, that
American capital will control fully two
thirds of the undertaking"
1t is estimated that between $4,000 and
s600OOO will be paid for the leases before
the dredging is actually commenced.

pain returned, and this time it affected
the left side of her head also. I then
took her to Kansas City, Mo. where
the physicians pronounced her trouble
neuralgia, but were unable to relieve
her. While there a lady advised her
to take DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine
and she began using it. She obtained
relief in a very few days, andl I am
pleased to say she has had but one re-
turn of her trouble since August, 1895,
and that was caused by an attack of
La Grippe two years ago which greatly
Frustrated her. She began taking Ner-
vine as soon as she felt the trouble
coming on and it was soon overcome

Policemen Not Included in the Pro
visions of the Eight Hour Law.

The metropolitan policemen of Kan
sas must not sing "Tve worked eight
hours this day, and I think I've earned
me pay" or if they sing it they must
not mean it.
For an opinion was given out from
the attorney generals office today that
metropolitan policemen do not come un-
der the provisions of the eight hour day.
It isn't recorded that anybody ever
thought they did, but the opinion
had to be delivered to satisfy Cliff Hol-
bert of Atchison that he couldn't make
a case for every policeman in the
state.
The opinion as rendered by Assistant
Attorney General Smelling in reply to
a letter from Holbert asking if the pro-
visions of the law extended to police
men appointed by the metropolitan
boards.
In answering, Mr.. Smelling stated that
it only referred to parties working IN
der contract or sub-contract with the
state and there was no contract for the
protection of the public made with the
policemen. He added that if there was
the Office would be kept busy suing un-
der the breach Of contract provision.
