BIG STRIKE AT CAPE NOME.

Seattle, July 14.-The steamer Alli-
ance arrived this morning from St.
Michaels. Alaska. She is the first YES
sci to arrive from south of the Yukon
this season, and brings advices from
the newly discovered gold field at
Cape Nome.
Pans worth four dollars are common.
Only one cleanup has been made thus
far Four men shoveling eight days took
out $4,000. The gold is different from
that of the Yukon in that it is quite
black, due to iron.
There was a great rush of men from
st. Michaels into the district. Town lots
are selling as high as $1,000. Nearly all
ground has been staked
The Alliance had several passengers
and small amount of gold dust from
Dawson. The Alliance brings news of
the deaths of miners near Cape Nome.
Following are the names of six: Joe
Fountain; --- Maynard; -Groteau,
- Carr, DR.. Brigham, Jack Burke
All of these except Burke We're from
Holyoke, Mass, and were members of
the Roch party
DR.. Brigham died from natural
causes. Carr and Burke froze to death,
Out of a party of 100 miners at Cape
Nome, Is severe cases of scurvy have
developed during the winter. The
stricken men were loaded on sleds and
hauled over the ice to st. Michaels for
medical treatment.

SICKEN AND DIE.
Hot Weather Weeds Out
the Feeble Babies.
Cholera Infantum Traced to
Improper Feeding.
Nurses Say Only Safety is
in Lactated Food.
Puny Babies Grow Big and Strong
When Fed on 1t.
The Best Diet in the World for
Growing Children.

1t is truly triumph in infant feeding
when babies take a food with evident
relish, even when the weather is the
hottest, and when the tone of their little
stomachs is so reduced by the heat.
And this is why SO many careful moth
ers who have reared large families sue
cessfully, not to mention physicians and
trained nurses everywhere, so earnestly
urge diet of lactated food whenever the
infant digestion is feeble.
Wherever no especial precaution is
taken in feeding children hot weather Is
just as sure to multiply the deaths Of
infants as the infants are to be born
Half the deaths in July are those of
children under years. Every summer
more than third of all who die are
Infants
Babies who have the advantage Of
their mothers milk stand the hot weather
better than others, provided the mothers
milk agrees with them and is plentiful
and bone. But such perfect breast milk
is rarely maintained during the entire
nursing period by even the most robust
mothers.
II anything but mothers milk is used,
use lactated food. 1t is prepared with
exacting care, under the personal super
vision of Prof. Boynton of Vermont uni
ersity, and is recommended by physi-
clans as the best possible diet for In
fants, invalids for children getting their
teeth or being weaned, especially during
the summer months.
Mrs, M. Koch of Dorchester. Mass, re-
Gently wrote to the proprietors of lac
tated food:

Emma Marguerite Koch, aged IS months.
when she was two weeks old we
commenced to feed her on lactated food
She has never since been sick, and is a
perfectly healthy child: This picture was
taken when she was Is months old. We
have baby 6 months old, whom we
feed on lactated food also, and he
thrives on it,"

Clue at Union Station.

liked to spend some of his leisure mo-
ments and that a search of the water
at the park would not be a bad idea.
This theory is not at all entertained by
his friends
Yesterday it was reported that a
man answering Mr.. Barton's descrip-
ton was seen near E. l. Gomins' mill IN
Rochdale, and Chief brennan tele-
phoned Mr., Comins asking him to
notify his help to be on the lookout for
Mr.. Barton, should he happen along
the road.
Chief of Police Draper of Spencer was
also telephoned by Chief brennan and
asked to have his men be on the look
out for Mr.. Barton.
His friends and members of his fam
lily are of the opinion that the old gen.
tleman left his home, and would not
for an instant entertain suicide. They
are of the opinion that he might have
got on to some country road and would
keep walking until he felt tired and
then would drop down in some secluded
spot probably so weak that he could
not rise again. His condition for a man
of his age is not bad, and while he
might stand the strain for few days,
he would at last succumb to weakness
and If near a wooded place would go
in and lie down. His son thinks that

above ground and not in the water as
many people think.
Another clue that may pos
sibly be the right one is more
pleasing for friends of the eX-clty
treasurer to consider. Michael w. Han
din. transfer clerk in the railway mail
service at the Union station and must
cal director of the choir at st. John S
church. saw Mr.. Barton in the Union
station some day this week, and told
Spv man last night that he thought
it was Tuesday evening, the night Mr..
Barton disappeared. Mr.. Handlin did
not pay particular attention to Mr.
Barton at the time, and does not know
whether or not ne took a train. Os-
good Bradley of the Bradley car works,
in conversation with Mr.. Handlin, also
spoke of seeing Mr.. Barton in the
Union station, and Mr.. Bradley thinks
that it was Tuesday evening. Neither
gentleman named the hour exactly. This
clue is one that may probably lead 10
the discovery of Mr. Barton, and he
may have gone to visit some friend who
does not yet know of his disappear
ance.
Today another search will be institu-
ted and Mr. Barton's brother, e. NJ.
Barton, will put in the day searching
around Peat Meadow for possible
clue to his whereabouts. Mr.. Fiske
and A. F. Dunkerton will put in the
day searching out around Tatnuck, and
Rochdale will also be searched for a
clue to the missing man.

When we see young woman 90 out to
meet fate that way it brings to mind the
Frenchman's saying of the Charge of
the Light Brigade. 1t was magnificent
but it was not war" 1t is magnificent
to see the young girl face the future so
fearlessly, but it is not life. No Young
woman is ready for married life unless
her physical condition is up to the stand
ard of marriage, in the health of all the
delicate womanly organs, and rarely is
that the case.
Young women entering upon the
state of marriage will find no friend so
helpful as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t gives vigor and elasticity to the
organs peculiarly feminine, prevents the
drains that ruin the health, and makes
the ordeal of motherhood so easy that it
is practically almost painless.

Mr.. Chamberlain Thinks He Can Prove
His Innocence.

His Innocence.
Charles S. Chamberlain, member of
Brewers Union No. 1885, was on the car
pet before his fellow-workmen last
night, and was refused recognition in
his appeal.
Mr.. Chamberlain was an employee of
the Worcester Brewing corporation as
fireman until June rs, when he was dis
charged by the chief engineer. He
attended the meeting last night.
There was no charge against the fire.
man which lowered his standing as a
member of the union. After discussing
the case at length, it was decided that
the matter should be left to the Ma
tionai Brewers Union, as Mr. Cham
berlain had a written statement, in
which he asserted that neglect of
duty" was an unjust charge.
The committee which investigated
the charges Of neglect of duty made
this suggestion, and the executive COM
mittee of the union upheld it. Mr..
Chamberlain appealed to the Central
Labor Union to remove the charges and
restore him the job as fireman at the
brewing corporation.
The executive committee refused to
approve Chamberlain appeal to the
Central Labor Union with the union
stamp, thereby upholding the action Of
the chief engineer.
Wednesday night Mr.. Chamberlain
will appear before the Central Labor
Union and endeavor to show wherein
he has been prosecuted. Mr. Cham
berlain is the man who braved the
storm in the strike of the brewery en-
ployees, and charged ]. D. Pierce, presi-
dent of the body, who will appear be-
fore the committee in his own behalf,
with accepting money from Manager A.
G. Reimold of what was then the Wor-
cester Brewing corporation, and caus-
ing the strike to be declared off.

SHOWED GREAT GOODNESS.

Box 4, pulled in by Daniel j. Ward
brought the fire department to fire in
the building 221a Pleasant street, where
fire was smouldering in the workshop
of R. C. Taylor, on the second floor.
The upper part of the building is occu-
pied by Mrs. S. Frances Yorke, who
conducts a boarding house known as
the Hub She displayed great cool
ness at which the flremen marveled.
She was about the burning building di-
recting the movements of the firemen
and showing them where the fire orig
mated. A ladder was raised off Truck
and liberal supply of chemicals suf-
feed to squelch the flames. The build
ing is insured through the agency of
Tatman & Park for $1,000, and the in
surance on Mrs. Yorke's place is
through the agency of John F. Crowell.
