There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro:
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be . constitu.
tional disease, and therefore requires constitu.
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. ]. Cheney d Co., Toledo. Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the market.
1t Is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to
p teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails TO
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Ad.

An ordinary dinner-table wine glass
was recently broken by singing. The
man who did it had a deep, full voice.
He set the glass on the table, stood be-
side it and ran up and down the scale
as though in search of a note. When
he settled on one rather high the glass
shook visibly. The note was repeated,
sung as loudly as possible, and finally
the glass shivered and crashed into bits.

Cooks Inlet Country.

John w. Cliff and Captain s. b.
Johnson and wife, have just arrived at
Skagway from Cook Inlet. 1--WE left
Sunrise City, Cook Inlet, September
49," said Mr.. Cliff, making the trip
down in IA days. The mining season
for that part of the country had about
closed when left. This has Teen one
of the most favorable seasons, 80 far as
climate conditions are concerned, ever
seen in that country. But few, If any,
new gold discoveries have been made
on the Kenai peninsula this season.
The old established mines have been
reasonably successful. Mills creek,
Lynx creek, Granite creek and Upper
Six Mile river, may be mentioned
among those that have produced well in
the Sunrise mining district. They are
all sluicing propositions. The prop
critics mentioned have yielded all the
way from So to 500 per day to the
man for part of the season. The Turn
again Arm district has several paying
streams, among which are Resurrec-
ton, Bear, Palmer, California, Gla-

The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors bills.
Royal Baking Powder may cost a little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food. In fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavening and never spolls

Royal Baking Powder used always in

Fortune in Gold Dust.

There came to Skagway the other
day II boxes of gold dust, each weigh
ing nearly 400 pounds, and the whole
valued at $75O,OOO. The gold dust was
brought out by the Flyer Line Steam
boat Company for the Canadian Bank
of Commerce, and on its arrival there
was taken to the Brannick hotel and
deposited in the downstairs front room,
in which bed was laid for the guards,
H. E. Rudd and G. H. Burns, who
have lived with it ever since 1t left
Dawson. Rudd and Burns were for
merly mounted Policemen and went in
with Major Walsh in 1897, when Rudd
remained in this town for nearly a year.
These men say this is certainly the
largest shipment of dust that ever came
out this way, and they believe it is the
largest single shipment that ever left
Dawson.

Why
Do Crescent Bicycles
Stand up Better Than
Hny0th6r Make OF Wheel?

Crescents are an honest wheel,
made honest and entirely of hon
est material. Every wheel is
thoroughly inspected by corps
of inspectors before leaving the
factory.
Our average cost of repairing '9S
Crescents was about 25 cents
per wheel.
The average cost of repairing 90
Crescents has been less than 8
cents per wheel.
Our repair books will substan-
tiate this statement. To anyone
bringing US worn out cone to a
90, 81, '9S or SO Crescent, no
matter where bought, we will
replace it with a new one free of
charge. We have ordered but
one cone in three years for a
Crescent wheel.
If you are interested, please COM
pare these with any high grade"
wheel records.
Crescents ride easiest, ride long
est with less repairs and satisfy
the riders better than any wheel
built. The price to all, twelve
months in the year is $35.
We still have number of sec
ond hand wheels which we are
selling at alm5st the price of the
tires alone.
Bring your repairing of all de-
scriptions to us if you want the
