"French Curley" Delorge left Dawson
on that date, and came through In rec
ord-breaking time. reaching Seattle eN-
actly one month after their start. The
trip out was without special incident
other than the usual hardship of such
a journey.
ave passed between 200 and 300
men OH our way out" said Mr.. Kepner.
Parties Will be coming In every day
now. The situation at Dawson Is
practically unchanged. The food sup
ply Is better than 1t 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,
900. know one man who brought out
between $4,000 and $4,000 In dust.
In drafts there was more money rep
resented. One man alone has draft
for 100000. and others l know have
large drafts. Perhaps the drafts will
total up S25O.OOO. There was nothing
when We left. All mines opened We're
being worked. and the output next
spring will be n big one"
All Of the returning Klondikers tell
OF their meeting with numerous mar
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
ut Dawson.

their passengers tied up on Lake lie
Bargc, and twice as many on Lake
Tasish. In places along the river they
counted twenty more"

mane acts of mounted police who make
room In their camps for men to sleep.

sions at actual cost.

1.5O0 to 1000 pounds to the sled. II
was their intention II possible to get
as far as the foot of Lake lie Barge.
anu from there send the supplies along
by dog trains. Later. 1t 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 n
shortage. but expressed no fear of star
walton. ms 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 wears
supply of provisions, including from
eight to ten sacls of flour. 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 been
discovered on Dcadwood creek, which
Is estimated to run as high as 10000
to $4,000 to the ton.

MISS WAITE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Daughter of CoIorndo's Ex-Governor Tries
to XIII Herself.

to XIII Herself.
Denver, Jan. "a special from
Washington to the Republican says:
Miss Kate Waite, twenty-four years
old. daughter of Ex-Governor Waite
of Colorado, attempted suicide about
2:3O O'Clock yesterday afternoon at 81
II. Street Northwest. by taking one
this was her fourth attempt. On one
occasion, 1t is said. she took two ounces
of laudanum. Drs. Herbert and Sillers
attended her and she was afterwards
sent to the Emergency hospital.
Miss Waite lived her some time ago,
being employed in the government
printing office, but lost her place and
went away from the city. Her broth
er, Arthur Il. Waite, is also employed
in the government printing office. d.
She returned here about four months
ago and tried to get reinstatement in
her former position, but failed, and has
been Respondent ever since. This, it is
thought, was the cause of her making
the attempt upon her life. She bought
the strychnine at a drug store several
days ago, telling the druggist she want
ed to use It on a cat that had met with
an accident. The landlady of the house
where Miss Waite took the poison told
II reporter that she had been despon-
dent for some time.
Her brother, she said, was married,
and the sister seemed to think that his
marriage had taken him from her.
This, together with her failure to get
employment in the government print
ing office, had resulted in making her
Respondent. -Four times she said Miss
Waite had attempted her life by taking
poison. When taken from the house
the young woman's condition was re-
garded as serious, although she was
not unconscious. She took the poison
just after dinner, and this, the doctors
thought, was favorable to her and that
she will recover

BLOW TO STATE SOVEREIGNTY
Assumption of Power by Federal Judge
Paul in Tennessee Case.


Paul In II Tennessee Case.
Bristol, Tenn, Jan. lin the case
of the Bristol Land Company against
John d. Thomas and others, in the Fed
eral Court at Abingdon, Virginia, n
sweeping opinion was handed down by
Judge Paul, which, to say the least, is
a severe blow to state sovereignty. The
case related to the sale of certain real
estate of the land company for taxes
and to the later transfer of the proper
ty from the state, which bought 1t at
the sale, to John ID. Thomas and Others
in consideration of the payment of the
back taxes. Judge Paul held that the
sale of the land in the first place for
taxes was illegal and void, for the
reason that the property at that time
was in the hands Of n receiver of the
United States Court, and that the state
had no right to Interfere with the prop
erty so long as 1t was thus in the hands
of the court. The decision, II Is held
by attorneys, will render the state ut
terly powerless to collect taxes when
ever property is held by receiver.

that Governor Sadler intends to APP
point Major w. L. Cox, Captain OF
Nevada's cavalry troop; f G.. Grace!
of Virginia City LIST. Lieutenant; and
Charles B. Henderson of Ellso 2n'
Lieutenant. The Carson News if au-
thority for this statement of the Gov
ernor's intentions. The report is alst
current here that the Governor has
made the appointments. OF this,
however, we have no reliable news at
this writing.
The INDEPENDENT is much gratitiad
with the proposed appointments and
especially so with that of Charley
Henderson as 2nd Lieutenant. Char
ley has the ability and education
necessary to make a first-class officer.
In addition to these qualifications he
ia temperate and studious, and,
though not up in military tactics
with some of the members of his
company, he has the faculty
of getting there and it will not be
long before he. is thoroughly posted
in that branch Of the service.
Taking it cor granted that Cover
nor Sadler has made the appoint
ments mentioned above. the INOE-
PENDENT congratulates him. the APP
pointees and the men whom they will
command. The officers are all worthy
OF their positions and it is extreme ly
doubtful whether better selections
could have been made.

dispatch from Charley Henderson
this afternoon stating that Major
Cox had been appointed Captain of
Nevada's cavalry troop; Gracey, 1st
Lieutenant, and himself 2u6 Lieu

DysPepsiS After Suffering for
Twenty five Years.

Twenty five Years.
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels estimable lady
residing at Lynnville. Jasper Co.,
Iowa, was for twenty five years a suf-
terer from Dyspepsia, and her CON-
plete restoration to health is so re-
markable that we present the facts IN
the case for the benefit of our readers.
many Of whom have doubtless suf-
fered In the came maner and will,
therefore, be interested in learning
how all stomach troubles may be
avoided and cured. Mrs. Skeels SAYS:
L used only one package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and | received
such great and unexpected benefit
that wish to express my sincere
gratitude. In fact it has been six
months since l took the medicine
and have not had one PARTICLE of
distress or difficulty since. And all
this in the face of the fact that the
best doctors consulted told me my
case was iucurable as had suffered
for tacenty fue gears. 1 want half
dozen packages to distribute among
my friends here who are very anxious
to try this remedy.
Truly Yours,
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELs.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful i'll curing
indigestion and stomach trouble and
the reason why it never diisappoints
those whe need it and use it is be-
cause nothing is claimed for it ex-
cept what it will actually perform.
1t is not cure-all and no such claims
are made for it. 1t is prepared for
the sole purpose of curing dyspepsia
and the various forms of indigestion.
There is scarcely a parent medicine
made bnt what is claimed to cure dys-
pepsia as well as hundred other
troubles. When as a matter Of fact
remedy to cure Dyspepsia must ba
prepaved especially for that and moth
ing else; and among all the remedies,
patent nostrums. bitters, ETC., so ex-
tensively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the on

pepsla and nothing else. The remedy
