POLICE ORDERED NORTH
Trouble Reported Between Amer

IN A ROW OVER DUTIES
Major Steele of the Mounted Police
Leaves for the Coast and the Yuko
River-The Order Includes all
OF the Men.

Great Falls, Feb. 5.-Passengers from
Lethbridge say that the town was great
~ excited when it became known that
every man of the mounted police, with
out exception, had been ordered to hold
himself in readiness to proceed 10 the
Yukon at moments notice for tempo
rary duty. The evening before Super
intendent Deane had received notice to
go to Mcleod to relieve Major Steele,
who was ordered to the Yukon, and had
left for that place before the arrival of
the second message. Five men We're also
ordered to the Yukon, and left on Mon
day.
The orders which were received by
wire by the officers in command from
the division (Which also appear to have
been received at Calgary are said to be
due to the existence of serious trouble
between the Canadian and United States
authorities in Alaska relative TO the at
tempt by the Americans to get provis-
ions into the Yukon free of duty, osten-
siby for the relief of distress, but in
reality for sale to the highest bidders.
No exceptions have been made as TO the
men who are to prepare to go. The or
ders include every commissioned
officer and man, either at the posts or
on detachment.
The Calgary Herald has the following
in reference to the subject: The ar
rival Saturday from Macleod of Major
Steele, the superintendent commanding
d division, caused still more excite
ment when it was learned that that
officer had received telegraphic notice of
only few hours to proceed at once to
the coast for service in the north. Major
Steele left on the Pacific express. accom-
panied only by his servant, and gave no
Information as to the cause of his sud
den departure. 1t is believed that some-
thing serious has taken place or is about
TO take place to necesstate Major
Steele's presence. On thing is certain,

he gets on the scene, as those who ran

about the length of a block when, in
the dim light, he saw something on the
rail in front of his car which looked as
if it might be a dog. Naturally he shut
off the power and also put on the brake,
at the same time stamping on the foot
bell or platform gong. The car stopped
just before it reached the object. and
on getting down Mr. Dunavent found
that a drunken man, a loafer about
town. had fallen in the street with his
head across the rail and was apparent
ly unable to get himself away. or was
TOO stupid to care whether he did so ol.
not. He dragged the man with the

Rheumatism,
Oh the Pain!

The aches and pains OF Rheumatism
become constant companion to all who
are victims of this disabling disease.
Much suffering could be avoided If the
first warning pains of Rheumatism were
needed and the proper treatment at once
taken. But the people generally are
not acquainted with the cause of the
disease, though thousands know its tor
lures. Those WHO use liniments and
ointments cannot understand why they
grow worse each winter, and find them
selves gradually becoming unable to get
around as they once could; yet they
know that their trouble came on at first
as little aches and pains, which hardly
attracted their attention.
Everybody should know more about
rheumatism; they should know that it
is peculiar condition Of the blood upon
which all the liniments in the world
can have no effect whatever. The
best blood remedy is needed-one which
is able TO go to the very seat of the
disease, and force ii out. Swiit's Specific
(S.S.S.) is the right remedy for Rheu-
matism, because it is the only blood
remedy free from mercury, potash and
other minerals which intensity the dis.
ease, causing stiffness OF the joints aud
aching of the bones.
