More KIondikers Depart.

Some more Klondikers took their de-
parture from here on the south bound
bound train yesterday. Will Marston
started from here and was met at Osce-
ola by Will Goggin and at Hancock by
the remainder of the party, which con-
sisted OF Charles LeSage, William Mann
and Allen Macdonald They go first
TO Seattle and then up to the Alaskan
seaports by water and the remainder OF
the trip they will make by the overland
route. They took four dogs with them
from here and good lot of provisions,
but the most OF their outfits will be pur-
chased in Seattle. Mr.. Marston came
nearly being left over for a day. He
stopped at Weiders shop TO get a couple
OF dog muzzles and while there dropped
pocketbook with no less a sum than $3.50
in it and then ent to the depot in a
hurry. He noticed the pocketbook was
gone when he went to get his ticket and
could not remember where he had LETT it.
Fortunately Mr.. Wieder noticed it inst
about two minutes before the train left
and supposed at once that it belonged to
Mr.. Marston, so hustled down to the de-
pot with it.
The party has the best wishes of their
friends for success in the hunt for gold.

The fire proved TO be in some residence

Mrs. NJ. Charles as a dressmaking estab

SDesOre the fire had gained any Roadway

and eniy large amount OF smoke gave
evidence OF the Ire which was burning
within.

1t is thought the fire originated in the

Only a Badge.

On one of the trains arriving in the
city this week was ii little lady, accom-
panied by a bodyguard of seven big,
strapping men, ranging in age from q
to 80 years, and every want was antic-
lpated and every attention possible was
being paid her; and the little queen,
although only years old, seemed per-
fectly contented and happy.
But hers WAS a sad story Bereft of
father aud mother at once by terri
bic accident i'll a little town in Wiscon-
sin. she had been put on board n train,
ticketed for Monroe, Mich. Only on
nearing Mount Pleasant had she learn
ed that she would be compelled to
spend the night here, alone aud among
strangers. No wonder the little heart
WAS breaking and the little body shak-
en- with s0bs.
The frightened, distressed look upon
her face appealed to the kind heart of
Il gentleman sitting near, and sympa-
thetic consolation soon drew from her
the sad story. While she was telling
the facts, he noticed upon her krrchief
about her neck a society pin correspoD-
ding to the one he wore on his watch
guard. She told him that it belonged
it's value; but it proved the talsman
that summoned her knight errant. for
the gentleman soon passed through the
train and found six similar badges, aud
as soon as the story was known seven
men were deyoting themselves to the
little wait. Among the number was
one who lives in the city. aud the little
one was taken to his home and cared
for among his own dear ones, and es-
corted to the south bound train in the
morning.
The badge did it. Sure it might have
happened without, but it was a re-
minder To them of obligations, of duty.
and drove away the clouds, and seven
men were better, happier and strong
er for the incident.

live the lesson taught them in the

Hoods Pills easy in effect. Is cen
SectionaIism Dead.

Before the President visited the
South, sectionalism was dead.
1t received staggering blow
when war was declared with Spain
and volunteers from Dixie crowd
ed to the recruiting camps to en-.
roll themselves under the flag. 1t
weakened when Mckinley, who
fought on the Union side, appoint
ed ex-Confederates Lee, Wheeler
and Butler to share in the COM
mand of the armies organized
against foreign foe. 1t went
down when Hobson, that daring
son of the South, scuttled the Mer-
rimac beneath an iron hail from
Spanish forts. 1t persisted when
Joe Wheeler led his divieion up
the deadly slope of San Juan Hill.
In his visit 10 Atlanta and 9TH
er cities of the South, President
Mckinley has rolled a stone above
It's place of sepultnre. May time
nor any upheaval come that shall
threaten resurrection.
The president has stirred the
southern heart by his gracious and
patriotic utterances as 1t has not
been stirred in years. When he
declared before the Georgia legis-
lature that "the time has now come
in the evolution of sentiment and
feeling, under the providence OF
God, when, In the spirit of frater-
nifty, the North should share with
the South in the care of the graves
of the Confederate soldiers" he
touched chord whose vibration
may never cease in the states that
thlrty-seven years ago espoused
secession.
Surviving Confederates, their
sons and the sons of their dead
comrades in arms, no matter how
they may differ from Major Me-
kinley on questions of policy and
the practicalities of government
will never cease to regard him
with friendship and gratitude for
the brave and healing words he
has spoken above the grave of sec
tionalism.-St. Louis Republic.

a Word to the Anxious Brethren.


The attempt on the part of some
o. cur republican contemporaries
q show that the ex-confederate
veterans are class of rabid pension
hunters is exceedingly foolish.
We have recently had new re
construction, ard there is no long
,r any feeling of sectionalism in
the south, nor any prejudice
against the northern people a.
such. This fact, it seems, is very
alarming to those who have here
iofore employed sectional preju
dee as a snapper to their politica
whips. 1t is probable indeed thai
thsy do not feel this prejudice
themselves, but they have employ
I'd ii so long and so freely for po
ltical purposes that they cannot
help recurring to the habit wher
the opportunity offers.

suddenly disappeared from view
when democratic president was

was invented to do duty.
And now, when member OF
congress who is VIGOROUSLY not o
representative of southern desires
or designs moves that the ex.cop-
federate veterans be placed on the
pension rolls, those who are in the
habit of appealing to sectional
prejudices for political purposes
straightway take the cue, and anx-
iously insist that these veterans
ATE rabidly seeking to secure plac-
es as pensioners.
We assure the anxious brethren
that there is nothing In it. The

P4rposes--he is very far from be-

knows how easy IT is to slop over

We beg, therefore, that when

against them can impugn the
courage with which they fought
