San Francisco, Sept. IA special to
the Examiner from Seattle says that
the news of disaster to the Arctic
whaling fleet, came in the following
letter from Capt. j. c. Downing of the
steamer Wolcott, to Austin Claiborne,
the local agent of the Pacific Steam
Whaling Co.:
Capt. Downing's Letter.
Juneau, Aug. 29.-l arrived from the

from the Arctic is that all the vessels
that were caught in the ice were lost.

ton from Capt. Ned Lennon, pilot of
the gunboat Wheeling.
lSignedl u. c. DOWNING"
This letter came via the steamship
All Hi, which arrived from Juneau
Monday.
The Vessels Caught.
Mr.. Claiborne believes that only the
whaling vessels originally caught in
the ice about Point Barrow were de-
stroyed. These included the Wander
er, Jessie III. Freeman, Belvidere, Orca,
Rosario, Newport, Fearless and Jean

Rev. Sheldon jackson, who returned
on the Roanoke, reported that the Bel
videre got out and reached Port Clar-
ence, where she coaled August 4, from
the bark j. ID. Peters. She then re-
turned to Point Barrow. The Belvi-
dere's officers also told Mr.. Jackson
that the Rosario had been crushed in
the ice, and that the Wanderer had
extricated herself and moved on to the
vicinity of Herschel island.
Two Vessels We're Destroyed Last Fall.
As the Orca and the Jessie II. Free
man were destroyed last fall, it would
appear that the only vessels remain
ing at the mercy of the ice foes and
jams were the JEANNE, Newport and
Fearless.
But besides the eight vessels named
there were the Belaena. Grampus, Be-
Iona. Narwhale and Mary d. Hume re-
naming in that part of the Arctic.
Crushed by the Ice Break Up.
Capt. Edwin Goodall of the San Fran

the fleet was destroyed in the ice
breakup. He got his information
from Pilot Lennon, of the United

told of the disaster at Kotzebue sound

STORY OF A CAPE.
1t Led to Ex-Patro1mnn Di1ts's As
sauIt on John Bennett.

Late Wednesday night two men and a
woman were seen holding a colloquy at the
corner of Illinois ard Washington streets
One of the men held the woman's cape and
refused to give it to her. Another man in
quired as TO the trouble and the woman re-
piled:
My chum and I went with these men to
a place on South Illinois street. This man
gave her five-dolar-bill to go out and buy
a bottle of beer. She never came back and
now he is holding my cape for it,
why don't you scream and bring the
police to your assistance?" asked the SYM
pathetic stranger.
whe woman took his advice, but no sooner
had her first shrill notes. pierced the fog
than the stranger found himself sprawling
on the ground, followed by the advice to
attend to his own affairs in the future. The
man with the cape. after knocking the
stranger down, ran north on Illinois street.
He was pursued by the woman and over
taken in front of Yves Stout's dive on West
and-tongs fashion until George Dilts, special
policeman for the resort. came out and ar
rested her. The man fled.
Yesterday morning John Bennett called on
Dilts at the resort and had some words with
him about the arrest of the woman Dilts
drove him from the place and pursued him
across Market street, where he struck him
twice with a mace, knocking him down.
The matter was reported to Superintend~
ent Quigley who intends laying ii before
the Board os Safety. Diits was formerly on
the police force, but was dismissed.

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
RELIEVED AND PERMA-
NENTLY CURED.
A New Discovery, but Not "a Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwen relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man who had
suffered to my knowledge for years with
dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to
sour and create acid and gases In the stom-
achs he had pains like rheumatism in the
back, shoulder blades and limbs, fullness
and distress after eating, poor appetite and
loss of flesh; the heart became affected.

night.
gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose AS an
experiment / finally bought a fifty-cent
package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at q
drug store and gave them TO him. Almost
immediate relief was given, and after he
mad used four boxes he was to all appear
ances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour watery
risings, no bloating after meals, the appe-
lite was vigorous and he has gained be-
tween ten and twelve pounds in weight OF
solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores yet =
consider them a most valuable addition to
any physicians line of remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless and can be given to
cnlluren or inyalidS or in any condition of
the stomach with perfect safety being
harmless and containing nothing but vege-
table and fruit essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the safest
most effective cure for indigestion, bilious
ness, constipation and all arrangements OF
the stomach, however slight or severe.

Insists that His First AcquittaI Set
tied His Case.


tied His Case.
The case of Thomas e. Kane indicted in
April 1897, for grand larceny and obtain
ing money under false pretenses from the
United States Benevolent Society, of
Saginaw, Mich, is up in new form in the
Criminal Court. The case is being heard
by Special Judge John L. Grifiths. 1t was
charged that Kane obtained sum of money
from the benevolent society by misrepre-
sentation. 1t was claimed he made oath
that he was injured Dec. s. 1896. when
in truth he received his injury Nov. rs, of
the same year His accident policy was
dated Dec. and the charge that he
made it appear that his injuries were
ceived after the policy had been issued. 1t
appears that Kane arranged for his insur-
but it is claimed, did not receive his policy
until Dec following. Kane was tried in
June, 1897, and acquitted He was again in
dicted, perjury being the charge, this in
dlctment setting out the same affidavit on
which the former Indictment was based.
The case now comes up Kane'S plea in
bar, the contention being that in the former
case he was charged with having made
false representations to the benevolent So
ciety under oath. Having been acquitted
in the former trial it is insisted he cannot
ment under OATH as the matters in each
indictment grew out of the same transac-
ton and the evidence in each case must
necessarily be the same. Kane is being de-
Tended by Attorney Hoffman, of Hoffman
& LeatherS.

The Panhandle people are already plan
ming for the completion of the double tracks
between UhrichsyilIe and Frazeysburg, and
1t is the intention to begin work in the
spring. 1t will require only about twenty
miles of grading, as there are many long
side tracks which can be utilized, and there
are but few places where heavy cuts and
fills will be required The recent double
track work completed between Reed and
Miller was the heaviest ever undertaken by
the pennsylvania system on any of it's
lines, and the work west OF Dennison will
be light when compared to this, and it is
the desire of the Pennsylvania to make the
Panhandle a double track road all the way
to Columbus as soon as possible.
