Aman from Iowa, who went prospecting in the Klondike last winter was, in tho course of chilling events, frozen to death. His friends had the body brought home for burial. When the body arrived it was found to be so drawn out of shape as to forbid it being placed in coffin. To bring the limbs downt to anatural pose the frozen man was placed in bakers oven and a strong heat turned on. In the course of half an hour one of his friends opened the oven door, when To, and behodl the corpse Arose slightly from its reclining position, and shiverng pereeptiblv, remarked petu- lentlv: "Shut that door! think feel d draught." A large number of miners and prospectors who arrived on the Laurada yesterday, alter hearing of this incident. immediately went around 10 Peterson X Go. s on Holly street and bought lot of Klondike blankets, clothing and other hot things to take with them on their iour- ney to the Klondike.

FISH OH VEGETABLES.
Ths tPrIee of Fresh Meat Win
 shortly GO UP.

Present indications warrant the aSSer- tion that within the next few months The price of fresh meat in Alaska will be higher than ever before known This condition is due to the great scarcity of cattle and mutton sheep on the ranges Of Eastern Washington and Oregon, from which points have formerly been supplied the summers meat for the Sound and Alaska. The Frve-Bruhn Company here has been notified from their Seattle branch that thev are now going as far east as Utah for cat- tie and will probably have to go to Omaha or Chicago for the next shipment.
 L. H. Heldinger, of the Pacific Market, is just in receipt of the following
 "We are not shipping our live stock as they are SO high. There are no cattle left in the country, and we are shipping in from Montana at present. and expect we will have to go to Omaha next month for they are nearly all cleaned up in Mon tana.
 "ln case we do have to go further east they will cost 0 cents per pound. live weight, You can see that cattle will be very expensive to you, and we look for beet to go to 10 cents in May. Look for high prices the next two months. Beef will not be low all summer. Don't make any low contracts.

 Sheep and hogs are likewise very scarce, consequently very high in the Pacific States, and it now looks as though for the next few months something on the order of a Mutual Soup Bone Exchange would be popular in Skagwav and other Alaskan towns.

BRUTALITY OF THE BRITISH
Queens Soldiers Accused of MaItrent-
ing pocr Prisoners and Rob-
bling Dead Bodies.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Dec. 4.-(New York Wor d
Cablegram-special Telegram )-Horrb e
charges are made against British sold
at Elandslaagte by correspondent of lead
ing Austrian paper, Allegmeine Handels-
blad, who visited the Boer prisoners atoa" d
the guardship Penelope at Simons bay. He
stated that the prisoners and wounded were
robbed OF everything valuable, even we'd
ding rings. In one case a Beers ing r
was cut off to get ring. The correspond
ent says
Never could have thought Englshmen
to be such brutes. Imagine about nintey men
behind kopje when 300 Lancers attacked
them The Beers had to surrender to su h
overwhelming numbers and threw down
their weapons in token OF submission. But
the captain OF the Lancers shouted: Kill
the blanks whereupon a tremendous massa-
ere ensued. Sousenthaler one prisoner
among them, was spared because he had
remained fiat on the ground
A remarkable corroboration of this charge
is furnished by letter written by Private
Dolan OF the Fifth Lancers of obviously
the same incident at Elandslaagte. He
describes how the Lancers charged the
kopje, adding:
Some as they saw the Lancers, threw
up their rifles, ammunition and cried,
Friends but it was no go, for they fired
on the Red Cross and we had no mercy for
them"

HARRISON ON ROBERTS CASE
Formcr President Declares it Would
he n National shame TO Seat
PolyEnmist.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 4.-Former Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison was asked today
IL he would assist the anti-Roberts league
in its efforts to prevent the seating of Con-
gresham elect Roberts. He said
"Overtures have been made to me by
persons connected with the league, but they
were merely tentative.
Il was asked If l could assist the league.
replied that my time-T had just returned
home would be too much occupied for me
to go into the case, The matter was not
pressed"
what is your opinion OF the case, Cen
eral Harrison?" he was asked
"Oh, as to the legal and technical side
of it, the power of congress to deny him
a seat l could not give an opinion until
l had studied it. AS to myself, l share
with the whole country the feeling that to
allow man who is living with plural wives
to sit in the congress of the United States
would not be American. 1t would be ma
tional shaTne.'
General Harrison was not backward in
indicating his entire sympathy with the
movement to prevent the alleged polygamist
from taking his seat. He made his ate
ments vigorously, but refused to give any
reasons why Roberts should be kept out,
except what is mentioned in the foregoing.

TO COMPETE WITH UNCLE SAM
PoIIak-ViraE Automatic Telegraph
system to BE Established in
the United States.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The Tribune tomor-
row will say: Uncle Sans postofiice will
be the first to feel the effect of the competi-
tion with the Pollak-Virag automatic tele-
graph system, according to the plans under
way for the introduction OF the machines in
the United States. 1t is intended to estab-
lish service with this device which will en-
able merchants and other business men to
send long letters at such low rates as to
make the plan acceptable.
At the beginning of the business 1t is
planned that the new system will be con-
fined largely to night service. When the
wires are idle in the night a great quantity
OF messages could be sent and delivered at
their destinations at the other side of the
continent the next morning, The rate is to
be made so low that merchant could afford
to send messages 1000 words in length.
Inventors Pollak and Virag will leave for
Buda- Pesth on December l3. They will busy
themselves Immediately with the manufac-
ture OF machines for use in the United
States II will be three months, they say,
before machines will be ready for shipment
The inventors insist they shall demand for
their share 81 500 900 in cash ana Sl,500000
in the stock OF the company that floats the
undertaking.
