two youngest daughters are with them.
The youngest, Miss Miriam, will make
her debut during the winter. She is q
handsome blonde, and quite accomplish

daughter, is at home for a few weeks
to be present at the Episcopal general

delphia. In a few months she is to
adopt the dress of the order, and is en-
thusiastic in the work.
She % is strikingly handsome. Her
bright conversation and charm of man

success but her work for humanity
stands to her above all worldly honor
During the long hot summer she has

ALASKAIS ALL RIGHT.
Ex-Governor Swineford Says Mineral
Wealth is Boundless.

Chicago, Oct. IA. P Swineford.
former governor of Alaska, who rs in
Chicago, declares that the prospectors
who have returned goddess from that
region were unsuccessful because of
lack of foresight in failing to properly
prepare for search for a fortune in a
new country.
The trouble is that 40 0Oo 1aoD1a
made a rush for about 600 rich claims, -
he says, 'all of which had been taken
before they ever heard of the Klondilxe
and good sense will tell anyone that six
months or year is too short time in
which to reasonably expect to make a
trip of 10000 miles and at the same
time prospect for gold with the least
degree of success.
The miners were more than ten
years finding the KIondike placers and
may be equally as long in finding equal
ly as rich ground elsewhere on the Alas
kan side. 1t is a big country and de-
velopment of it's mineral wealth will
be gradual. The great wealth of Alas
ka in precious metals is in the quartz
veins with which its every island and
a large part of the mainland is inter
minably scanned and interIaced.
THE great majority of those who
have gone to the Yukon country in the
past year have passed through what I
believe is destined to become the richest
gold mining district of Alaska Within
pistol shot from the deck of the steam
ship company are some very rich quartz
lodges now in process of development.
There is gold in the islands Of the Alex
ander archipelago and the mainland
from the southern boundary as far
north as Skaguay and Dyea. That I
am justified in this belief is proved not
only by the mines now working and
paying enormous profits, but by numer-
Gus discoveries that have lately been
made and the largenumber of prospects
now in course of development into pro-
ducin2 mines.

HE SEES TWO MOONS.
Peculiar Affection of Gov. Leedy's
Weak Eye But Tt is Getting Well.

Governor Leedy returned this morn
ing from Geuda Springs, where h has
been for nearly three weeks, drinking
the waters of that resort. He did not go
to the state house but kept to- his room
at the National hotel, where he received
few visitors.
The governor assures his visitors that
he is feeling frstrate but at the same
time he begs their pardon for not be-
ing able to rise from his chair.
Il am feeling ever so much better
than did, he told a Journal reporter.
There were three or four days when I
first went down there that I was not
able to go to bed even. My neck was SO
stiff with the rheumatism that I could
not bend it in the least and I simply
had to sit prOpped up in bed and en-
dure the pain. I have a little rheuma-
tism in my neck yet and some in my
right leg. If could have remained
there two weeks longer I think the sui
phur in the water would have taken all
of the rheumat t1Sm out or my system.
The water is not so good after it has
been out of the ground for some time.
I shipped some home, but it is best to
drink it just as it comes from the
ground.
My eye is alos nearly we'll I had
quite a time with it as the pupil nearly
closed, and the doctor said if it went
together it would grow that way. I
still rave to tie it up when I go out in
the bright sunlight and the focus is not
fixed as yet. When 1 look at the moon
there appears to be two moons.
I have lost twenty pounds Of flesh
since have been down at the springs
but that does not frighten me any. I
could lose twenty more and still have
plenty left.
I have set no date to get back into
the campaign. I will have to see how I
feel in a day or two more. Speaking
warns one up and if I should catch
cold I would be just as bad off as ever
Governor Leedy intended to remain
over in Topeka for a few days, but he
was afraid that the weather would turn
cold and he concluded to go on to his
home at Lawrence this afternoon, where
he could be sure of having an even tenn
perature. If the weather is pleasant
he will return to Topeka the last of the
week.

REDUCTION IN GENERALS.
Six Majors and 25 Brigadiers to Be
Mustered Out.

Washington. Oct. 3.-The administra-
tion is about to give further evidence
of it's belief that there is no danger of
war being renewed by mastering out
large number of general officers. Ad-
jutant. Gen. Gorbin says six major gen.
erals and about twenty-five brigadier
generals will be dismissed from service
because of the reduction of the volun-
teer forces. The president has the list
of officers, with the suggestion Of the
war department and will select those to
be discharged. The names will be an
nounced this week. General Corbin
calls attention to the fact that about
twelve major generalships were never
filled because the president decided to
keep open a number of places for
promotion for gallant service It is
thought most of the generals to be
mustered out will be men taken from
civil life. especially those whose COM
nands have been broken up by the or
der % muster out 100000 volunteers.

Fought Fire Three Weeks.

Cheyenne, Wyo. Oct. Especial Agent
Abbott of the interior department, has
returned from Carbon county where he
was engaged for three weeks in fight
ing forest fires along the west side Of
Bald mountain, in the east and west
sides OF the Platte valley near Bennett.
on the head of Spring creek, the forks
of the Encampment river and around
Battle lake.
DIrAbbott's force consisted of a large
for the work, and 20 men whom he
hired. The country where some of the
fires were burning is rough and noun
famous and it was necessary to use
pack animals to reach it.
With great difficulty the various fires
were put out and their ravages confined
to a comparatively small area. Had the
fire on Bald mountain crossed to the
east side of the mountain a tract of
magnificent timber 25 miles long would
have been destroyed.
The department of the interior auth
orized Mr.. Abbott to spare no expense
in extinguishing the Carbon county
fires. From where he was working, Mr..
Abbott states that the immense fires
around Hahns Peak, Col, could be plain
" SEEN The Colorado fires are driving
large numbers of deer and antelope
north into wyoming.
Word has been received that the big
forests of northern Uintah county, south
of the Yellowstone National park, are
burning. These fires will be put out by
the forest rangers stationed in the gov
ernment timber reserves of that region.

SAVED BY SNOW.
Forest Fires in Colorado Are
Extinguished
In Many Places by a Fall of
Snow and Rain.
TOOLIGHT IN PLACES.
Fall Was Insufficient Around
LeadVille.
Hundreds of Miles of Timber
Have Been Destroyed.

Denver, r,Oct. 3-Reports received today
from various points in the regions
where forest fires have been spreading
for a week or two past are to the effect
that the fires have been checked in
many places by snow and rain.
In the vicinity of Glenwood Springs,
the fires are almost entirely extin-
guished.
Idaho Springs reports that the fires
on the west slope of the divide are
pretty nearly under control and there
is not now much danger of their reach
ing the east slope. However, the fires
will shoulder for months, and another
dry SPELL followed by winds, might re-
vive the flames. Hundreds of miles Of
fine timber have been laid waste in
the range of mountains to the west of
Middle park and some ranches have
been destroyed.
A Leadville dispatch says:
A light snow fall appears to have
somewhat checked the forest fires that
were threatening some of the mining
sections of this county. The snow was
entirely too light to extinguish the
flames and unless another storm comes
within the next 4S hours, it is feared
that much damage will be done in Lake
Park and St. Kevin sections.
E. A. Julian, superintendent of the
United States fish hatchery at Lead
vile, says that criminal carelessness
of campers, are responsible for nine
tenths of the present forest fires.
The town of Kolzomo is no longer en-
dangered.

Charleston, S. C., Oct. 3.-Yesterday' 8
hurricane and the storm of two weeks
ago have done but small damage to
property in this vicinity, but the loss
to rice growers was very heavy Even
damage done by the great storm of 1898
has been exceeded. 1t is variOusly es-
timated by the planters and rice bro
kers that the loss will be from 80 to so
per cent. The damage is entirely due
to the high tides and easterly winds,
that have prevailed along the coast as
d result of the storm. The tides have
kept the water in the fields for a week
and the drains refuse to draw The
easterly wind serves to keep the water
backed up in the streams. Breaks in
the banks have occurred on the Pou
POu, AshpoO and COmbahee rivers and
these sections have suffered most Sc
verely. In some cases the entire crop
in those sections are lost. No word
has reached here from the sea islands
and the extent of damage is not known.
