OUTPUT of the KIondike.

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klondike
fields the past season. Since the Eng
lish government imposed a 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 the year When the system is
weakened by such attacks, and the
blood becomes thin and Impoverished,
the best medicine to take is Hostetter's
Stomach Btters. This remedy builds
up the system. Besides regulating di-
gestion, it overcomes constipation. 1t
is good for the kidneys and liver, too,
stimulating these organs into the proper
performance of their functions. Moth
ing is so good for malaria.

neral services were conducted at Mt: Zion
Baptist church by the pastor, Rev. j. L Rush,
assis ted by Revs. Hubbard and Moncure.
Her mortal remains were laid TO rest In the
old church yard in the presence OF a crowd
OF sorrowing and sympathizing friends. The
snow-white casket was borne I o the grave
by four young men of the neighborhood, viz:
Ralph Border. Hugh Hammond, John Rice
and BOYD Licklider. Little Ruth was love-
ly child, bri- hit and Intelligent beg ond her
Years gentle and affectionate, and in her
short life had endeared herself TO all who
knew her. The hearts of her parents are
desolate indeed and-a light has gone out OF
their home but they "sori ow not as those
who have DO hope" for they know their dar-
ling is "safc in the arms OF Jesus" and they
expect to meet their loved one gone. some
sweet day bye and bye. They are Gods chill
dren and he will sustain them under the
weight of their crushing sorrow. The hearts
OF many friends go out 10 them In sympathy.
