there any medicine SO good for these
purposes as Pe-ru-na? Thousands of

of people of all classes and vocations

The Price of Klondike Gold.

The following poem was published in
the Clarinda Iowa) Herald in its issue
of the 18th inst, written by Mrs. o. X.
Ebey, a former resident, and wellknown
in this city, whose husband is in Klon-
dixie searching for gold. Mrs Ebey has
the care of four little childran during
his absence:
Tho tempted from home my hearts hero
with visions OF riches untold
His life and my heart In the balance
Weighed light against passion for gold
In vain he appealed TO ambition
Besought me be brave, reconclled-
Then sobbed "If l loved them less fondly
I'd never leave home, wife and child,
Farewell, II for years or forever
AS God wills, Beloved, twill be best
Though l perish, or find In the churchyard
A dear little child laid to rest"
Oh, say, would your heart know true pathos-
The pathos Of anguish intense
or sacrifice, noble and Christ.like-
OF longings suppressed, love, suspense
Behold a man quake like an aspen,
Though sturdy and staunch as an oak
Erect in the strength Of his manhood
Bowed low beneath sorrows keen stroke.
His bosom with heart sObs, deep heaving--
Unclasping fond arms holding fast
His eyes like a parched desert burning
Nor tears soothe the fierce, fever blast
Oh God, that ! lived for that parting
Has stricken me sorer than death.
My soul now lies palsled and pulseless
To friendship, TO JOY, hope and faith.
They tell me of wealth he may bring me,
Returned from yOn weird gold cursed shores
But glitter Of gold cannot blind me
To heartaches and tolls he endures.
Nor glory nor gold can restore me
The years that 1 live IN these hours.
LIES summer has merged into winter,
I've lost autumn's sunshine and flowers,
I've battled with death at the bedside
OF children, his loved and his own
I've fallen despairing, and risen
Half PROSTATE, TO vanquish-alOne.
Alone now l list to their prattle-
Alone dry their tears, mend their toys
And help play the games "Papa" taught them
Which offices once were his joys.
Alone soothe their heartaches for Papa"
While my own heart is crushed with despair
Alone in my frailty must guard them
Alone list at eve TO their pi Mayer
"Dear God, oh please bless orr dear papa
Where'er he may be, lone and drear-
Please bring HIM home safe to his children,
AND oh, let him find us all here I"

Fire ct Judgement.

The town of Edgemont was visited by
a disastrous fire last Friday afternoon
and a whole block in the business por-
ton was destroyed. An extra issued
by the Edgemont Express Saturday
morning gives the following particu-
lars:
Edgemont looks desolate this (Satur.
day morning and several of her resi-
dents are mourning all their earthly
possessions. At 1.30 p. m. Friday after
noon the cry Of fire" was heard and
smoke coming from the store OF Z. j.
Franzen, located the place. A tremen-
dous gale was blowing at the time, but
gangs were organized and bucket bril-
gades went to the lake and carried water.
The fire was so furious that it was seen
that nothing could be done with that
building and as it was iron coated, it
was hoped the flames would keep in
side, but the hope was soon shown to
be fallacious. On Wha's building on
the north, then the residence of Mrs.
Ferry, the Edgemont hotel, Midway
saloon and store house, the bank build,
ing and residence, all went in rapid
succession. Herculean efforts were be-
ing made to save Dayidson's store and
the lodge rooms, but it was no use fol
the terrific heat finally forced the work
ers to quit. To this time it was thought
that the Cradle stone block would holc
out and stop the fire, but it burned sc
rapidly hat nothing could be saved
from upstairs. The efforts of everyone
! were directed to saving d. K. Snively
on the north and C. f. Maryland and L
w. Parrottee on the east sides of thu
streets, and aided by a change in thu
wind were successful, but only after
hard fight. The whole amount of insur
ance carried will not exceed $4,000. l
is feared the buildings will not be re
placed.

Change the Fish Laws,

There is considerable talk among the
fishermen of this section in regard to
the fish laws. The laws of the state
provide that the fishing season shall
commence on the first day of May and
cease on the first of October. 1t appears
that the season is allowed to begin too
early in the spring as during May the
fish have not finished spawning and
consequently the increase of the fnny
tribe is intereferred with BY chang
ing the laws SO that the season would
begin on June first instead of May first
a decided increase in the number of fish
in the different streams of the Hills
would very 500 be noticeable .-Rapid

In the Strand Monthly Magazine for
October, 1893, in an article contributed
by Alfred /. Burkholder bearing the
title of "The Heroes Of the United States
army" an excellent picture Of our
townsman and present postmaster w.
G.. Cubberly, accompanied by an account
Of a deed Of heroism performed by him
for which he received a medal Of honor
at the hands Of the government. These
medals Of honor" we are aware are
not given for any trivial service,
and 80 We took pains to read the story.
1. happened away back in 1868, in Ari.
zona, when Mr.. Cubberly was a member
Of the 9th cavalry, commanded by Col.
Thomas G. Devin, and engaged in scout
ing in the apache country. MIR. &. and
two others were detailed to trail the
indians to their stronghold, which they
did successfully, but were discovered by
the Indians who opened fire upon them
from an ambush. Seeing that their re-
treat was cut off, they resolved to sell
their lives rs dearly as possible, and
opened fire on the Indians with their
carbines, and kept it up with such dead
ly effect upon the enemy that they re.
tired. Mr.. G. at the end of the fight
found himself unscathed, although his
mule was shot, and his own escape was
miraculous. The fight must have been
kept up for some time or else our stout
p. NJ. must have been l"ivelier in his
younger days, for it is related that he
fired seventy rounds from his carbine,
and two from his revolver, before they
succeedediD making good their retreat.
