ONE MONTH FROM DAWSON.
Arrival of Forty-Fye KIondikers at
Seattle.


Seattle. Wash. Jan. 9.-Forty-five
Klondikers arrived here yesterday on
the steamer City of Seattle. bringing
adviceS from Dawson up to December
Tth. j. NJ Kepner John Burke and
French Curley" Delorge left DawAn
on that date. and came through in rec
ord-breaking time. reaching Seattle eX-
actly one month after their start. The
trip out was without special incident
other than the usual hardship of such
II journey.
I'VE passed between 200 and 300
men on our way out" said Mr.. kepner.
Parties will be coming i'll every day
now. The situation at Dawson is
practically unchanged. The food sup
ply is better than it was two months
ago on account of the people leaving"
Delorge in an interview. said:
II cannot say exactly how much dust
was brought out. l think 1t will run
over 100000 and probably reach $780,
W0. l know one man who brought out
between $4,000 and 100000 in dust.
In drafts there was more money rep
resented. One man alone has Il draft
for 100000. and others ] know have
large drafts. Perhaps the drafts will
total up S2JOOOO. There was nothing
new in the way of strikes reported
when we left. All mines opened We're
being worked. and the output next
spring will be big one"
All of the returning Iilondikers tell
of their meeting with numerous par
Ties scattered along the route. trying to
push in. Some have dogs while many
are trying to drag their outfits on hand
sleds. All are making very slow pro-
gress. Considerable scurvy is reported
at Dawson
I. b. Corey, of Seattle said: MY
party counted twenty-five boats and
their passengers tied up on Lake lie
barge, and twice as many on Lake
TaSish. In places along the river they
counted twenty more"

feed them and sell necessary provi-
slons at actual cost.
They are located along the route at
Big and Little Salmon creeks, Lakes
Tagish and Bennett, and are making
all possible efforts to get provisions in
to the Klondike
On Lake Bennett the party met four
teen sleds drawn by horses, carrying
1,oOO to 1000 pounds to the sled. 1t
was their intention if possible to get
as far as the foot of Lake lie Barge,
and from there send the supplies along
by dog trains. Later, it was reported.
that ten horses. with their loads. had
been lost through the ice at Caribou
crossing.
Regarding the food situation. Mr..
Corey was of the opinion there was a
shortage. but expressed no fear of star
walton. as hundreds had gone down the
river to Fort Yukon. and 800 or more
had already come out over the trails.
Before leaving. Mr.. Corey visited the
stores. and observed that where min
ers had put in orders for their years
supply of provisions. including from
eight to ten sacks of -four only one or
two sacks at most were allowed to each
order.
Mr. Corey estimates that 500 pounds
of gold dust passed his party coming
out. He says rich quartz rock has beer
discovered on Deadwood creek, which
is estimated to run as high as $4,000
to $4,000 10 the ton.

DURRANT HANGED.
After Long Legal Delays He Goes to the
Gallows.

San Quentin, Cal, Jan. S.-When
William Henry Theodore Durrant died
on the gallows yesterday morning for
the murder of Blanche Lamont, he
gave such an exhibition of coolness
and nerve as has seldom been seen un-
der similar circumstances. Hopeful
almost to the very last minute that
something or some one would inter
vene to save him. he walked to the
scaffold this morning and made his lit
tie speech, protesting his innocence. as
calmly and with as distinct enuncia-
ton ms If he had been addressing an
assemblage of friends upon some ordi-
nary topic of the day. His face was
pale, his eyes We're red, but his voice
was firm and he stood as solid as n
rock while he proclaimed his innocence
and professed forgiveness to those
who, he said, had bounded him to
death.
There was not hitch or accident to
mar the plans of Warden Hale in car
rying out the sentence of the law.
The moose was adjusted, the trap was
sprung, the stout rope held and Dur
rants dead body dangled at the end.
The neck was broken by the fall of
over five feet and fifteen minutes later
tHe murderer DOuy was cut DOWN ana
placed in the coffin.
CONSISTENT to the last Durrant died
processing religion. But he died, ac-
cepting at the last moment the COM
forts of the Catholic Church instead of
those of the Baptist faith, In which he
was reared. Rev. RAIDER, Protestant
minister, had arranged to ascend tn
scaffold with Durrant. but the minis
ter would not say that he thought Dur.

declined to accept his services unless

cence.
Then 1t was that the once ardent
Baptist turned to the Catholic Church
for consolation and called upon Faith
er Lagan, priest who had frequently
visited him in prison, to attend him.
Father Lagan responded promptly and
performed the last solemn rites of the
church.

said Mr.. Swan yesterday afternoon at
the Albany hotel, ~ learned enough to
convince me that the Indians are not
the only violators of the laws, but that
the ranchmen are in the habit Of
shooting n deer or an elk whenever
they feel so inclined. They pay abso-
lutely no attention to the game law,
but hunt off and ON all the time, espe-
cially in the winter. While 1t is true
they do not kill as much game as do
the Indians. yet they violate the law,
and will turn right around and raise
great hue and cry if the Indian does
my hunting. These ranchers do not
kill game except for the meat, and oc-
casonally for the hide. They do not
dare to slaughter game. as the law
abiding ranchmen would soon get on
to the fact, and cause trouble for
them. l propose to put stop to that
indiscriminate bunting. and intend
making an example of a few of them"

of the well-earned reputation and

efforts of half a century. The tulge
says. in part:
THE complainant is entitled to pro-
lection against the appropriation OF Its
trade mark by any and all unfair and
dishonorable means, and court OF
equity has power to grant such protec-
tion whenever it is satisfied that an
attempt has been made by ingenious
subterfuges, to invade the rights of an
owner of trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individ-

rivals, seeking to wrest from him the
prize OF the public goodwill, the In
veptive ingenuity of the infringer has
conceived a great variety of devices
for evading the established rules Of

finding that their ultimate object and
effect were to enable and induce the
retail seller of fraudulent imitation

The diabolical assassination of Will
liam Terriss, the distinguished British
actor, by worthless crank with
homicidal mania, brings up before us
again and in most urgent form the
question of dealing with this class OF
pests. There is ID law for furnishing
or even locking up crank, no matter
how dangerous he may notoriously be.
Justice waits until he commits muir
der, and then offers to society the beg
gardly reparation of the gallows. The
peril is one which the individual must
meet for himself. Government avenges
him only after he has been slain and
his family desolated.

too many advertisements in it. The
other replied: In my opinion the ad-

least valuable part of it. look them

times the cost of the paper each week

from them said the other: 'I believe
you are right know that they pay
me well and rather think it is not good
taste to find fault with the advertise
ments after all. 1t pays any man with
a family to take good local paper for
the sake of the advertisements If moth
ing more. And if business men fail to
give farmers a chance to read adver-
tisements in the local paper, they are
blind to their own interests, to say the
least of it. You never trade with

A GENERAL CHANGE,

All of the railroads which run into
this city mado a change in their time
tables which went into effect last
Monday. The 500 road continues
as usual to go west Mondays, We'd
nesdays and Fridays but has short
ened up her time somewhat and now
leaves at s o'clock a. m. returning at
4 p. N. She now leaves at G.15 a. m.
an hour earlier than usual on Tues
days, Thursdays aud Saturdays, re-
turning at 10 p. M. an hour earlier
than usual.
The Chicago g. North Western now
runs a mixed train between this city
and Columbia and leaves here at
5.4a a. m. instead of 6.25 and returns
at ll.45 p. IN. This makes it necess-
airy for the travelling public to arise
very early in the morning in order to
get their breakfast before leaving.
The Northern Pacific now arrives
at 2,25 p. m, on Mondays Wednes-
days and Fridays and leaves at lilo

MRS. MELLENCER RECEIVES

Perhaps the most pleasant and en-
tertaining social event of the season
occurred at the home of Mrs. T. NJ.
Mellenger on Thursday, Dec. Both,
when at 2 o'clock a Buffet Luncheon
was served by the hostess to large
number Of her lady friends. The en-
tertainment on this occasion was a
rare treat and was heartily enjoyed
by the guests. AT five o'clock on the
same day Mrs. Mellenger entertained
a company Of younger ladies at a
Rose Tea, and later in the evening a
number Of the gentlemen came in
and partook Of the danties that only
the gentler sex know how to prepare.
The rooms were magnificently dec
grated with flowers which showed to
the best advantage on account of
their being trimmed with Japanese
lanterns. Every thing in the room
seemed to be in perfect harmony
which is striking characteristic of
the hostess, Mrs. Mellenger.
