THIS CAT HAD APPENDICITIS.
San Francisco Feline That Was Afflicted
With a Fashionable Disease,
IN Francisco Chronicle

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Maltese cats are in large demand
among business houses, not only be-
cause of their beauty, but because they
have proved themselves to be fine
hunters. One of the handsomest of
these is Tom, magnificent fellow be-
longing to a wholesale grocer in lower
California street, Or perhaps, it would
be more correct to say that the cat
owns the establishment. He spends his
nights in useful labor and is sometimes
for a considerable period found regu-
larly each morning with big dead rat
by his side, for, like most of the gen.
timely capable of his kind. he disdains
TO eat his game. During the day he has
appropriated to his own use a nicely
finished mail tray on the office desk,
and when the weather is cool a big
nickel lamp standing beside the tray is
kept burning for his special benefit. A

fit of indigestion very nearly carried
him off one day and it became neces-
sary to perform a surgical operation to
save the noble fellows life. He seemed
to know that the veterinary surgeon
lancet was unsheathed for his good and
bore the pain like a stole and without
resistance
Vieing with Tom in beauty and intel
Hgence and his almost exact counter
part in size and appearance is Joe, a
splendid Maltese of Petaluma birth, be-
longing to a wholesale boot and shoe
house on the corner of Second and
Stevenson street. Eyes of amber, a
coat of silky blue-gray, sinewy frame
and leonine rather than tigerish face,
Joe is a magnificent specimen of cat
hood. He not only answers to his
name, but understands and will obey
simple directions issued by his master,
jumping on desk or chair at his bidding
err playing with a cord strung across
the entrance in the office rail.

SO small that it can sit comfortably on

gree, toms and Tables, and this elder
band has assumed maternal care of the

vigilantly, seemingly particularly APP
prehensive lest it stray out upon the
street. and whenever one of them per-
ceives him too near the open doors
the older fellow walks over to the kit

ly carries it back and deposits 1t in the

BACK FROM THE KLOND|KE
Mr.. Egloff Accumulated More Ex-
perience Than Gold.
HARD TIME GETTING THERE
He Intends to Return to Alaska, How.
ever, This Fall or Next Spring and
Will Explore the Cape Nome
District

Great Falls, Sept. 12.-Angie Egloff
returned to-day from Alaska, where he
has spent the past year and a half
looking for gold. He did not find it, or
he found it in such small quantities
that it did not pay for the search, but
that did not detract from his heap of
experience He left here, bound for the
Klondike, on Jan. 26, 1898, going via
Victoria. From Victoria the party
went by boat to Fort wrangel, and
thence up the Stickeen river and
through Lake Tesln. At the head of
the Stickeen they were met by mounted
police, who were in search of provis-
ions, and took all they could get, but
allowed the party that Mr.. Egloff was
with to go through with 500 pounds per
man. This, however, was not much,
after all, for good deal of it had to be
fed to the dogs to keep them in condi-
ton, and the hunting and fishing on the
route amounted to almost nothing.
When the party reached Lake Tesl n
they found ii was almost impossible to
get provisions. Flour was a dollar
pound, sugar was dollar and quar-
ter, and for canned goods, you could
ask your own price. From here the
party Mr.. Egloff was with split up and
he and George Treat made the balance
of the trip alone, building a raft on
which to float themselves and their
goods. When the wind was with them
they raised a sail and then the raft
would hurry its nose in the water until,
if it had been anything but a raft, it
would have gone under. They remedied
this, however, by putting more logs on
the raft and building it up until they
had a dry craft. Then the wind either
played out or was against them, and
one of them would be compelled to go
ashore and tow the craft by means of a
line while the other stayed aboard to do
the navigating with the assistance of
pole. The towing proposition was
pretty hard one, as the shores of the
lake were covered with quicksands and
every once in a while the man doing the
towing would go up to his middle in the
mud. After a long siege of this kind of
work, Egloff and Treat finally found
the wind in their favor and then made
very good progress, arriving in Dawson,
however, after the cream was gone
from the milk.
Mr.. Egloff got hold of several claims,
but none of them yielded much, and he
decided to come home. He says the
country is all right and that there is
plenty of gold there, but the good
claims were mostly taken up before the
majority of the Montana contingent
reached Dawson. He expects, however,
to go back to Alaska either this fall or
in the spring and will make an investi-
cation of the Cape Nome district.

Probable Cause for Laura HAIRLESS
Taking Her Life-Remains Are
Identiaed.

The sister Of the unfortunate Laura
Hairless. who committed suicide by shooting
herself Saturday night at 222 North Nine
teenth street. was located by the police
and notified OF the occurrence. She called

ent. She and her sister Laura came to
Omaha last June and worked at the Paxton
hotel until day or two before Christmas.
They separated then and found positions in
private families. She called on her sister
Friday night and had a long talk with her.
Laura told her that the work had been very
hard and she did not know whether she
could stand It. She had not been accus-
toned to such labor. as she had been seam
stress all her life. Nothing was said, how
ever. about ending her troubles and Miss
Hairless said she was greatly surprised when

Not since the grip made its firse ap-
pearance in this country nine years ago
have there been SO many thousands laid
up with this terrible disease as there
are now. In New York City alone more
than $4,000 school children and 100000
adults are absent from their usual
haunts on account Of Grip. Teachers,
clerks. business men, mechanics, labor
ers, street car drivers, police officers and
even the doctors-all furnish victims by
the hundreds. In every branch of activ-
ity and industry the depressing effects
of the epidemic are apparent and in
many instances business has been sus-
pended.
The result Of the grip in many cases
are more serious than the disease itself.
Pneumonia, bronchial troubles, diphthe-
ria, rheumatism, heart failure, even par.
alysis and consumption follow an epi-
demic of grip and swell the death rate
for months after the disease has died
out.
