Intemperance IL an evil so great
that not civilized nation dare
allow unrestricted traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors: The great major
ity of all our judges in our crimi-
nal courts assure us, that the ma
jority of the criminals brought be-
fore our courts are made so by the
use of strong drink. The great
might of medical authority in all
civilized countries is to the effect
that alcoholic liquors, produce di-
sense, increases insanity, and di-
rectly and indirectly, causes death.
Actual observation proves that
strong drink has most brutali-
zing effect on the disposition of q
very large percent Of those using
it, and it is the cause of the most
extreme poverty among the labor
ing classes. 1t is the worstf foe
woman ever encountered. + has
caused more shame, misery and
restitution than all other evils
combined, for it is the cause of
most of the m. There are hundreds
of thousands of broken hearted
women today, and wretched little
children having no bright future,
made 30 by the licensed saloon.
Women SO strongly object to an
institution for their husbands,
brothers and sons to frequent that
so change their manner and dis
positions that their coming home
brings terror instead of joy, and
the sweet confidence reposed in
the husband and father lost forev-
er. How can man be 80 unfeelipg
ss to place these institutions in
the midst Of civilized people; they
do not allow them among the un.
civilized.
Dear sisters Of our own fair land
, should we not seek to do every.
thing in our power to remove the
curse Of strong drink which seekt
, to overcome all the good We hav.
tried to teach our children.

Carson Appeal: On the first day OF
last August Hume Yerington took the
evening train for San Francisco and
has not been seen in Carson since. He
was the agent for nearly twenty-five
insurance companies and the San
Francisco representatives of the COM
panies have been up here for some
time going over the books. For some
time his friends insisted that he had
merely gone off on trip for recrea-
tion and health, but it is now a gener-
ally accepted theory that he has left
the country never to return. His
father notified the insurance compan-
les ii there were any discrepancies in
his accounts he would settle in full.
and this having been adjusted and re-
ported, III. NJ. Yerington drew his
check for the amount. When last
seen Hume was in Seattle en- route for
British Columbia.

stiII More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unesrthed
another band Of counterfeiters and
secured large quantity of bogus bills,
which are SO cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them Of being spurious. Things
OF great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators but
no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right
in the stomach, and when the stomach
is in good order il makes good blood
and plenty Of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat Of strength and
vitality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware Of counter
ieits when buying.

Virginia Enterprise: Beyond ques-

Every animal on this ranch is q fine

exception is one cross OF cattle, Short
horns with Holsteins, making the
ideal dairy COW. The offspring lose

but gain in beef points. No prettier

steers are as large as 2-year-olds and
2-year-olds look year or more older
than the ordinary "critters" OF that
age.
In other lines, too, Mr.. Cleveland
has worked wonders. His horses are
up to the standard, and the hogs,
chickens, ducks and turkeys on the
farm would be first prize winners at a
worlds fair. As much as 800 tons
OF hay of first quality are cut annually
from the broad meadows. The latest

farm and to care for the miles of irri-

When Mr.. Cleveland settled in
Spring Valley it was not unlike bar

A Peculiar Accident.

Vim. Potts of Monitor Valley in

that when his sheep camp was burned
at Morgan Creek it was on his pack
mule, as he was moving camp. 1t
was windy day and as he was smok-
ing, and leading the mule, a spark
from his pipe caught in a quilt that
was on the animal. 1t set fire to the
pack and before he could get IL off
some cartridges that were in the pack
exploded. Mr.. Potts ran away, as he
was afraid of being shot, and as con-
sequence the mule and pack outfit
were both burned.

FROM DAWSON CITY.

cent trip over the new railroad:
"The Yukon & White Pass railway,
over which l rode from Lake Bennett
to Skaguay, is one Of the models of en-.
gineering, and is the greatest tribute
to the American people that l have
ever seen. In several places it was
necessary, ON the White Pass, to cut
through solid rock. leaving cliffs Of 900
feet overhead. Out OF such a cut and
one is onto trestle with the Skaguay
river flowing 900 feet below. 1t is a
ride that is simply hair-raising in its
intensity. There is nothing like it in
America that / have ever Eeen-and
you will pardon me when / say that l
do not care to see such sights in
America.
"Prices OF supplies are falling rapid
ly, and while they may be slightly ad-
vanced during the Winter season they
will never again reach their old alti-
tude. Isay this advisedly, because the
various transportation companies have
enough of certain supplies on hand
such as would prevent starvation-to
