PROBABLY GONE TO MOTHER.
Two Boys Leave Their Father's Home
on Spavinaw.

w. NJ. Piercefeld, from the
mouth Of Spavinaw, was here to-
day in search of his two boys,
Charles and Fred, aged ten and
twelve. They left home Sunday
morning on the pretext OF going TO
visit neighbor, both riding a
white pony, bareback, and stayed
in that neighborhood until next
day. Monday night they stayed
with a man on Mustang creek and
were seen at the creek below here
and also in this city, Tuesday.
Which way they went from here
the father was unable to discover.
Piercefield and his wife separated
seven years ago and the last he
heard OF her she was at Macon
City, Mo. One day recently the
oldest boy asked his father why he
did not write to the mother, and
also enquired whore she was living
from Macon City when last heard
from; also how long it would take
to ride to that place horseback.
From these circumstances the nat.
ural inference is that the boys are
trying 10 make their way back to
their mother.

Wonderful KIondil>e railroad.
The year 1898 has been remarkable in
that it has brought the completion Of por-
tons of two railroads into the hlondike.
The White Pass and Yukon took its place
III official railroad guides several weeks
ago, and now "All aboard for White Pass
and the Klondike," greets Che ears of the
gold seeker at the Alaskan city of Skag-
uay. Work was begun about SIX months
ago, and at one time from 1000 to 2000
men were employed. The god fever, how
ver. made il difficult to hold the men a
so prosaic an employment. The grade on
the first twenty miles, which carries the
line from Skaguay up the summit Of the
mountain pass and the interna tional boun-
Diary line, is very steep, being in places
as great as four feet Of ascent in hun
bred of length. This is about twice az
heavy as the limit of the eastern trunk
lines over the Alleghenies. There was
much heavy work required. including
three long and deep rock cuts and two
short tunnels.
From the summit of the pass the road
is being built as rapidly as possible about
q miles further to Lake Bennett whence
there as passage by water at some seasons
of the year, in TO the Yukon, ana thence
to Dawson cay and the gold feds Sur
Veyors are in the field locating the line
from Lake Bennett direct to Fort Selkrk
in the heart of the Klondlke region, about
IT'S miles more. But this portion will be
over a country which IS but gently rolling

culties. 1t is also proposed to build a
branch of some 30 miles to Atlin City
which will give access to the recently bpen-
Ell Attn Lake gold district.
Enormous Railroad Fares.
OF course railroad building in the Klon-
dixie country is expensive, and The rate for
carriage correspondingly high. The fare
to the summit from Skaguay IS placed at
four dollars. A hundred pounds of freight
il carried the same distance for about two
dollars. or thousand times the rate
charged by our eastern roads. THESE
prices seem high from our home point OF
view. but no man who has attempted TO
get a Thousand pounds of outfit up the
trail on his own back CONSIDERS the
charges at all eNorbitant
Anotnher railroad of somewhat peculiar
construction is to be opened soon into the
Klondike. The Chilkoot Railroad and
TRANSFORMATION Company has built
steam road of ordinary construction from
Dvea Alaska az the head of Lynn canal
ana only few miles from Skasuay. It
runs 10 CANYON CITY eight miles, and
from that point an aerial galloway seven
miles long carries passengers and goods
through Dyea canyon and over Chilkoot

pended on standards set at intervals ana

AGUINALDO HARD TO FIND
American Forces Are Unable to
Locate the willy Filipino Leader
or His Army.

MANILA. Nov. 14.-S:40 a. m.-The
whereabouts of Aguinaldo and his army
and cabinet is a perfect enigma. General
Otis has learned that Aguinaldo recently is
sued a proclamation transferring the capital
to Bongabong, giving as reason for the
step the unsanitary condition Of Tarlac.
1t is supposed the leaders of the insur-
rection who are not already at Bongabong
are retreating to that place, though when
they left Tarlac, whether they are travelling
with the army, how many soldiers they
were able to hold together and whether the
leaders or the troops have got beyond Gen
cral Lawton's line. are all unknown. 1t is
hoped, however, that General Wheaton has
effected a junction with General Young,
forming a Gordon from San Fabian to San
lsidro. General Lawton has 5000 men,
General Wheaton 2,70o-a small force to con-
troll SO many miles. but 1t commands the
main roads by which the insurgents must
move to the northeast With the Amerl-
cans advancing at the present rate they
could drive the insurgents from Bongabong
in fortnight, and II is impossible for the
rebels to establish another capital in Luzon
which cannot be captured within a month.
The rapid approach of the Americans was
complete surprise TO the insurgents, as
the latter expected them to move slowly
as they did from Manila to Angeles. The
Filipinos thought It impossible for tho
Americans to make headway in the mud

NAVAL EXPENSE OF A YEAR
Total Expenditure of Nearly Thirty
Millions shown by the An
nuaI Report.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-According to
the annual report of the paymaster general
1t cost $13,193,174 to maintain in commits
sion the ships in active service in the navy
last year. For construction of ships and
purchase OF ready-built ships $9.964, ,456 was
expended, while $6,754,974 was absorbed in
repairs to ships
There is said to be need for more ware
houses at the different navy yards and sta
tions, including the naval station at Cavlte.
The employment OF refrigerator ships for
supplying fresh meats to the naval vessels
at Manila is declared to have resulted most
satisfactorily. The three ships now used in
this service are not only able to supply the
needs of the navy, but also to provide large
quantities OF food for the army in the Phil
ippines. The only recommendations Of inn
portance made in the report look to the ex-
tension to the navy OF the army privilege
OF supplying officers through commissary
stores and to the immediate filling OF the
pay corps to its lawful strength In order TO
meet the heavy demands upon 1t at present.

A change from warm to cold Is always at
tended with more danger than from a cold
to warm temperature, hence the greater
mortality from lung and throat diseases at
this season of the year as compared with
spring
The best protection against colds is not so
much in extra clothing as in good digestion
II tho digestion and circulation are good,
colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circulation or
the blood and when in this condition severe
colds are contracted on the slightest provo
cation.
People who make regular practice OF
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals are free from colds. simply because
their digestion is perfect, the heart strong
and regular, and tho whole system fortified
against disease.
1t requires little argument TO convince
anyone that the best safeguards against
colds, pneumonia and changes of tempera-
ture are a coed stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals are dissolved and mingling with the
food cause 1t 70 be promptly digested and
assimilated; they do this because they con-
tain nothing but harmless digestive ele-
ments, which digest meat, eggs and other
food even when the stomach itself is weak
and haccid.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make people
well and keep them well, and the best habit
you can acquire is TO make daily use OF them
at meals to keep the digestive organs strong
