NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder trouble as the men. The womb
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason any dis
tress, disease or inconvenience manifest
ed in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake, at
tributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and
may as easily be avoided by setting
urine aside for twenty-iour hours; sedi-
ment or settling is evidence that your
kidneys and bladder need doctoring. If
You have pain or duh aching in the
back, pass water too frequently, or
scanty supply, with smarting or burning
these are also convincing proofs of
kidney trouble. If you have doctored
without benefit, try DIR. Kilmer's Swamp

Then, again, some are men who have

HIS DREAM OF FAME.

HIS DREAM OF FAME
golden harvest. More than dozen good
sized steamers have been sent around
Cape Horn and will soon be ready to
hurry the gold hunters northward. The
latest enterprise Of this kind was the
organization only the other day of an
Alaskan transportation company in
Philadelphia. The hackers of the prof.
ect have plenty Of capital and have pur-
chased five big steamers. Shipbuilding
operations are booming all along the
northwest coast, and in the vicinity of
Seattle alone contracts have been let for
30 steamboats, and "a steam barges suit
able for the Yukon river trade.
But even increased steamer facilities
will not make the path to the Klondike
an easy one. The Yukon is not naviga-
BILE for more than four months of the
year at best on account Of ice, and when
it is open the water is so low part of
the time that all but steamers of the
lightest draft are constantly in danger
of running aground The best the
steamers can do is to land the great
crowds at juneau, Skagguay or Dyea,
from where they must take their choice
Of overland routes to the headwaters of
the Yukon.
There are several passes which have
been well travelled, but none that is par
ticularly easy. Still hundreds of men
and women have gone over each one of
them, and the thousands on thousands
who are to follow must take things as
they find them. Yet before the season is
over many Of the difficulties which the
pioneers met and conquered will have
been smoothed over or done away with
entirely. Over the dreaded Chilkoot
pass an aerial cable railway is being
built and the projectors hope to have it
in running order early in the spring.
Most important Of all are the opera
tions Of two railroad companies which
propose to build lines from Pyramid
harbor, near the head of the Lynn canal,
to points ON Lewes river below Five
Finger rapids. Both corporations have
engineers and surveyors at work, and it
is said that they will soon begin rail
road building race which will astonish
the world. The length of the route is
about 400 miles, and the projectors fig
ure that the cost per mile will be about
$40, 900.
These are few of the more promi-
nent features of this mad rush after Yu-
kon gold. There will be many new de-
velopments before the summer of 1899
is over. What they will be do not pre-
tend to predict but whatever they are
they will be worth watching, for these
are times your children will want you
to tell them about quarter Of a CEN
tury hence. SEMEI.L EoRn

on the way there as poured into Cali
fornia during the entire duration Of the
placer mining excitement. There are
more of us to go now, for one reason,
and IL is easier to reach the goldfields
for another.
And how are they all going TO get
there2 That is problem over which
some Of the brightest and brainiest
steamboat men in tho country have been
puzzling for months, and none sees his
way clear yet. AS far rs the railroads
go the transportation question Is set
tied. The railroads can take all oomers,
and the competition among the trans.
continental lines is already fierce and
is getting keener every day. Three Of
the roads have Klondike cars travelling

tured printed matter is distributed. The
Canadian Pacific is making an energetic
bid for its share of the business and Is
scattering its advertisements not only
all over the Dominion, but throughout
Europe.
As for the steamboat men, they sim
ply throw up both hands. The man.
ayers of lines now in existence on the
Pacific coast realize that they are not
equipped TO meet the emergency and
frankly say so They add, however,
that they will do their best. San Fran
cisco, Seattle and Victoria are the three
points where the prospeotors will meet
the first difficulties of the journey. Even
the comparatively small number of peo-
pie that wanted to go northward last
season was enough to overload the
steamers, although as many vessels as
were available were pressed into the
service. Before spring opens the steam
feet ON the Pacific coast will have been
doubled and trebled, but even that will
not be sufficient to furnish transporta-
tion to Juneau, Dyea and other points
for the thousands who are already
swarming the docks and wharfs at the
three important ports.
Already all sorts of steam craft have
been put into the Alaska carrying trade
Anything that will float is being pre-
pared for the spring rush to the Klon-
dixie.

this opportunity pass without making
an effort to have hand in reaping the

al If we had never been through the ex-
perience at all. Besides, we forget lot
in half century.
How many men are going to the Yu-
kon goldhelds during the coming year?
l don't know. Neither does any one
else. A random guess is worth as much
as the most careful estimate. There are
no precedents to go by, no statistics on
which to base calculations. You might
as we'll try to figure out how many boys
will go swimming on the lst Of next
June, Could you put finger on the
public pulse you would notice that it is
beating quicker than usual. That is the
gold fever.
The street car conductor who takes
your nickel, the bank clerk who receives
your deposit, the grocer who measures
out your tea and sugar, the dry goods
clerk who is today cutting silk and cot
ton, tomorrow may be ON his way to the
frozen north after gold, prepared to en-
dure hardships and privations, nerved
to face death If necessary, ready to take
his chances with vast army of others
and willing to stake his all on single
throw.
Whether this desperate army of for
tune hunters will number 100000 or
500, 900 nobody knows. We do realize,
however, that the number will be a
vast one. If you don't realize that, stop
and think. From every large city will
go hundreds, from the smaller cities
scores. Each town will send a handful
of representatives, and from almost ev-
cry hamlet will go one or two. How
many n.en do you know Of personally

who are planning to go? l have not
such an unusually wide circle Of ac-
quaintances, but can count up l with

to start. Possibly some of those WHO
have talked the loudest will be the ones
who will not go at all. That is gener-
ally the case
But if every locality is to be so gen.
erously represented up in the gold coun-
try just fancy what multitude they
will make. Why, with only limited
number of delegates from each district
it is very easy to get together more than
100, 600 people at big convention. But
in this case some Of these limitations
are taken off. Every man who can get
the money and who can shake off fami-
ly ties is free to go.
Who are the men who are ready to
try this new venture? All sorts and con.
ditions of men. Many of them are men
who have failed in everything else they
have undertaken and singularly imagine
that the peculiar qualities of mind
which were not of the right kind tc

everyday life will somehow bring them
