FRUlTLESS SEARCH FOR GOLD
Kansas Party is stranded at st.
Having Suffered Untold
Hardships During Winter.

FORT SCOTT, Kan. July 23.-The mem
bers of the Suniower Mining company. who
left this place for Alaska eighteen months
ago. sailing in their own steamer from San
Francisco. are stranded at ST. Michaels on
their way home. The company started with
plenty OF money and provisions for two
years. They spent the winter on the Koyo-
kuk river, 1900 miles above st. Michaels and
400 miles above the furthest point they could
reach by boat.
The first news from them for many months
was received today and it tells of suffering
and hardships. All their money was spent
in prospecting. but no gold was found. There
were from one to three deaths in all the
companies in that region. Two men he
came helpless from scurvy. The doctor

BROOKLYN STRIKERS ARE BEATEN.
All Lines Except the Nassau in Brook
lyn Run on Isunl Schedule.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The trolley car
strike, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn,
seems to be practically at an end. General
Master Workman Parsons, at the meeting
today. launched the scheme for a new po-
htical party, and at the same time urged
upon the delegates of the various trades
unions in Greater New York the expedi-
ency of contributing to a fund to aid the
strikers, and the delegates promised their
support. This is what probably causes Mas
ter Workman Parsons and Deputy Master
Workman Pines to promise important de-
velopments in the strike situation this week.
1t is a fact, however, that both yesterday
and today cars were being run under almost
normal Roadway on all the lines, except the
Nassau, throughout Brooklyn, even to the
various branches, and carrying large num-
bers of passengers. In New York, except
for the presence of several hundred police
men on Second avenue and guards about the
power houses. no sign of a strike was ap-
parent. There has been no delay in trolley
car service in Manhattan, on any of the
lines, except on the Second avenue line, and
that is effected very little.
1t is stated by the police officials that to-
morrow or Tuesday, at the farthest, most
Of the police who have been gurding the
property of the railroad companies will be
withdrawn.
Rossiter Pleased with Outcome.
President Rossiter was jubilant on Satur-
day before leaving for Cold Stream. He
said:
The strike. of course, has caused con-
siderable trouble and expense to our COM
pany, but l am glad to say that nearly all
the lines were able to run today on regular
time. The strikers had prided
that they had been able to tie
up traffic to Coney Island, but they cannot
boast of that now, for tomorrow we will be
carrying all who want to go. I am sorry for
the men who were led astray by profess
sional agitators. I I'm willing to take back
the men who left their positions on the
Brooklyn Heights line, but i am determined
that none of the Nassau line men will be re-
instated as motormen or conductors"
In strike headquarters the men of the Mas
sau line assembled. Master Workman Par
sons did not appear. District Master Work.
man Pines was busy trying to encourage
the strikers. He told them that even If
the strike were unsuccessful, still they
would have the satisfaction of having re-
belled against the evil system of hours and
wages introduced and maintained by Ros-
sitter. Mr.. Pines added that If a certain
section of the press and corporations
imagined that the strike would be over in
a day or so they would soon discover they
were badly mistaken. He said that by Tues
day or Wednesday all the lines of the Brook
Ign Rapid Transit company would be tied
up as tight as a drum.

her TO board a non-union car. A crowd OF
union sympathizers stoned the cars and a
squad Of police finally cleared the street.

State Board OF Arbitration, declining to ar

last are not in the employ OF the company
and there Is nothing to negotiate about or

City Attorney Pau said that he had
investigated the claim of L. R. Evans
for $500 and that of Albert Herbert for
$50 for alleged injuries received on
South Front street, and recommended
that they be disallowed. The report
was adopted.
The purchase of three large MIGRANTS
and one small one was authorized.
AID Adams moved that the matter of
re-insuring all city property be placed
in the hands of the committee on city
property, to report at the next meeting
This was carried
Aid. Zimmerman moved that the city
advertise for bids for placing steel
ceiling in the new fire station, by the
square, to be received next Saturday
night. This was carried.
The bills included three pairs of rub
Der boots One of the bills was from
H. c. Gerlach for $500 for plans and
specifications for the central fire station
The aldermen took recess, to consider
this bill, and after being out half an
hour the council came back and allowed
Mr. Gerlach $3.50, which covers his
work as superintendent His bill was
higher, but the above amount was a
compromise.

Hello, There.

Aid. Himmelman said that many
people do not keep both telephones, the
Northwestern Telephone company has
not treated the city very badly, and
Manager Buchholtz desires to be heard.
The phones are used for fire alarms
and are as important as the fire alarm
system.
Mr.. Buchholtz said that he thought
that the council had turned the COM
pany down rather suddenly at the last
meeting Notwithstanding the con-
tract with the city, which calls for but
one free phone, he had lately furnished
the city with three free ones. A num-
Der of fire alarms had been sent in over
his lines during the winter. The com
pany had always used the city fair, and
wanted fair treatment in return Peo-
pie who have one phone should have
the same facilities for sending in fire
alarms or calling for the police as those
having the other phone.
Aid. Bradley favored Northwestern
phone at the city hall and one at the
hospital.
Aid Adams favored a Northwestern
phone at the new fire station.
Aid. Bradley moved that the North
western phones remain where they are
now, three to be paid for and three to
be free
Aid. Peterson raised the point that
there were not enough aldermen pres
cut to reconsider the previous action
ordering the Northwestern phones out
The city attorney read from the charter
to the effect that the council cannot re
scind an act at subsequent meeting
less as many aldermen be present as
were at the meeting when the action
was taken.
Aid. Bradley withdrew his motion
and moved that the matter be referred
to the committee on city property to re-
port at the next meeting, and this was
carried,
A contract with the Citizens com.
pany was read and approved.

requisition for four hydrants at $40

Two bids were received, one from VIM

Aid Bradley said that that since he
had been in the council he knew that
the city had been out Is, 900 feet of lum-
Der, for which it had never received a
cent. The lumber had taken wings and
and flown away. He was opposed to
having big pile of lumber at the city
hall, and thought that the city would
save money by accepting Mr.. Lambert's
proposition, as the plank could then be
delivered as wanted and where wanted.
On motion of Aid Adams, Mr. Lam

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klon
dixie fields the past season. Since the
English government imposed royalty,
the miners have adopted all sorts of
ruses to evade the law. 1t is rather
difficult to dodge taxes, but it is more
difficult to dodge bad cold and the
grip at this time of year When the
system is weakened by such attacks,
and the blood becomes thin and i'm
poverished, the best medicine to take is
HOstetter Stomach Bitters This
remedy builds up the system. Besides
regulating digestion. it overcomes con-
stipation. It is good for the kidneys
and liver, too, stimulating these organs
into the proper performance of their
functions. Nothing is so good for
malaria.
