A Mother Tells How She Saved Hell
Little Daughters Life.
PHONE IA.

1 am the mother of eight children
and have had great deal of exper-
fence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in it's worst form. We thought she
would die. 1 tried everything 1 could
think of, but nothing seemed to do her
any good. 1 saw by an advertisement
in our paper that Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
bottle at once. It proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in the house. It saved my little daugh-
ter's life. l am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had 1 known it at first
it would have saved me great deal of
anxiety and my little daughter much
suffering.-Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F.

Mr.. Clifford said he was not satisfied
with the way the work was being done

where much work was needed, were be-
ing neglected. Mr.. Whitmore explain
ed this by saying the other wards had
received more than their share of the

while the Third ward at the present
time had only received about three
hundred dollars.

AT THE NORTH POLE.
A Canadian Who Claims to Have Been
There.

There.
Gustav Bertrand of St. Madeleine.
Quebec, Canada, who is at the Perrault
house, at Lestershire, one of Bingham
tons suburbs, claims to be the discov-
erer of the north pole. He is a poor
man, and, being rather ignorant of the
higher arts of seamanship, in his story
OF the discovery can be given only the
outlines of his adventures. He is about
80 years old, and is at present prac-
tically on the charity of the residents
of the village. A local physician says
he is sane. He is unwilling to talk for
publication, saying that he will not
be believed. Bertrands story is to
the effect that while on a Belle Isle
Biffan he became estranged from his
companions, being in a small boat by
himself. A storm came and drove him
from his course, and, after going with
out food for some time, he met an
Esquimaux. who gave him food, and
told him Of white mans party fur
Their up the coast" He wandered
along, not finding the white men, and.
upon the wrecking of his boat, he was
obliged to live with the natives, al
ways getting nearer the pole About a
year afterward he arrived at warmer
part, and going still further north
found the north pole. This country
he describes as being an island sur
rounded by ice. 1t has one or two
small mountains. A small tribe of
large-built people, not Esquimaux
lived there, and he stayed there for
some time. The manner of living is
similar to that of the Esquimaux. and
he experienced many hardships. There
are two seasons. he says, mild and
cold. In the mild weather lichens grow
there. He tells only of life of hard
ship among savage people, and says
he marvels how he every survived to
tell the story. He returned by work
ing his way down to Ellesmere, and
then. by the aid of kindly officers, got
to northern Alaska He went gold
prospecting, got caught by the Cana
dian authorities in some unsavory
affair, so he says, and was sent to
prison at Toronto, Canada He was re-
leased from there several months ago.
He is evidently man badly broken
in health by hardships. and as his
story seems to bear the stamp of truth
in one or two relics of life among the
natives Of the north pole, opinion
among the villagers is somewhat di-
vided as to the veracity of his state
ments.-New York Sun.

Especial letter.


Capt. D. c. Bayse of the Standard
Oil company's Yukon river steamer
Oil City was one OF the shippers caught
midway between Dawson and St Mi
chael by the freezing OF the Yukon last
October. He spent the winter hunt
ing and exploring, often making long
trips into the interior from the steam
er. On one Of these trips he had an ex-
citing bear hunt and discovered traces
OF ancient Alaskan history that may
prove valuable when properly inves-
tigated. The beginning of last win
ter on the Yukon found the stern
wheel steamer Oil City midway be-
tween Dawson and ST. Michael, with a
big cargo OF oil on board" he said.
There were unmistakable signs OF an
early closing of the stream. In con-
sequence ! ran the steamer into a short
but deep stream that flows into the
Yukon opposite the Russian mission.
We got everything in good order be-
fore the river finally closed on Oct Is.
Il was case OF killing time until the
river opened six months later, and
there were few ways Of doing it. Hunt
