'tIt is the little rift within the lutte

health of a women often, which
gradually takes the spring from
her step, the light from her eyes,
the rose from her cheek and the
music from her voice. Perhaps the
bug-bear which has frightened the
woman from the timely help needed
at the beginning has been the dread
ed questions, the obnoxious exami-
nation, the local treatments, of the
home physician. There is no need
for these. Nor is there need fol
continued suffering. DR.. Pierce's

AN ALASKAN LETTER.
Editor Ardmoreite.

Editor Ardmoreite.
Seattle, Wash. May 17.-H you
will kindly allow me space in your
valuable ipaper, | would state a
few facts that might be of interest to
some of your readers. On the morn
ing of April 25 boarded the train at
Ardmore with the gold fields of Cape
Nome, Alaska, as the point of my des-
tination. On reaching Kansas City
/ found Mr.. G. w. Wilhelm, who
had preceded me, and who is my
partner in my search for the golden
treasure of the frozen north.
We bought our tickets over the
Union Pacific railroad which cost US
$40 each and after ride OF seventy
five hours, across the rolling prairies
of Kansas, the high level table lands
of Colorado, the snow capped peaks
of the Rockies, down again into the
beautiful valley of the Columbia
river; then up again to the very
summit [of the Blue Range noun
tains, we landed safely at Seattle the
port from which we will sail May "a.
Seattle is booming city of seventy
five thousand inhabitants, and its
streets and hotels are literally
thronged with a seething mass oi
humanity bound for the gold fields
of Dawson, Atlin, Cape Nome and
Sinrock, Alaska.
The passage from here to Cape
Nome, first class is from s125 to SIZE
second class from SIS to sI00. Any
one can go from Ardmore 10 Cape
Nome first class for $3.50.
In fact it takes more nerve thar
money to make the trip. From al
reports that 1 can gather from meI
who have been there and are return
ing again this spring, the Cape
Nome gold fields are by far the rich
est the world has ever known. 1t Ii
gold, gold nothing but gold. 1t i
everywhere. Men are going by th'
thousands and there is room TO
thousands more. Two boats hav'
sailed already and many more ar
going within in the next thirty days
Tickets are going up every day ant
the supply is not going TO be suffic
lent for the demand.
There are a great many peopl
who would like to go to the gol
fields, who lack the nerve to venture
They are afraid to run the risk ii
someone else has been there an
found out for them if there is an
thing in it. These people idly wa
for opportunity to hunt Them up an
give them a chance in the worlt
while others get out and take advaI
tage of opportunities presented
them.
| am here in Seattle among peop
who are IN a position 10 know. An
my cousin who is the audi o. of II
White Pass and Yukon rail road an
who has a claim at Atlin, also one 1
Cape Nome, says that to go to tt
gold fields of Alaska is a chance of
life time. Anyone who is sober an
industrious cannot fail. This is NJ
supposition, but fact that h!
been proven.
We have Bought our tickets an
nearly all of four outfit and are il
patiently waiting the departure

To all my friends in Ardmore,

You are, but my advice to you is
screw up your courage and ste
your boat to the gold fields

Joseph G. Stuart Receives Contract
From Neaffie & Levy.

The prospects at present are that
Joseph G. Strart will have a prosperous
wear at his heat yard at the foot of Har-
mony street, New Castle. Some mon tbs
ago he began the remodelling of the
buildings and has more improvements
under way at present. Over "a, 600 has
been spent in purchasing new machin-
erv and in remodelliDg the building to
suit the boat building business. The

changed that the large surf boats to be
erected during the coming months can
be launched successfully.
The contract has recently been award.
ed to the local concern by the firm OF
Neaffie & Levy, of Philadelphia, for the
construction of six wooden lille boats.
They are TO be used by the new steamer
now being built by the Philadelphia
firm for the Red D. Line, Boulton, Bliss
& allett, of New York, The new
steamer is to be sister ship for the
Maracibo built by the Harlan & Hol
liz gsworth Company in this city.
Mr.. Stuart at Il time the Maracaibt
was built at the Wilmington yards, wal
employed there and it was he who bull

So pleased were the owners of thu
| Maracaibo with the manner in which
the life boats were built and knowing
| that Mr.. Stuart was in business for him
self, the builders of the Maracaibo'
counterpart communicated with the pro
prietor OF the local plant and the con
tract was awarded. The boats will b

De Soto, Ills, Dec. 30.-NIrs. r. O..
Deason has secured verdict of $1,000
against certain members of a secret order
known as the Knights of the Royal
Arch. Mrs. Deason charged that her hus-
band, during his initiation into the order,
was SO severely injured that he died two
DAYS later, and she brought suit against
the members who participated in the inl-
tiation. 1t is alleged that during the IN
itiatory ceremonies a paddle about ls
inches long was used in which was
blank cartridge. The itser on this occa-
sion is said to have made a mistake and
used the wrong side, the result being that
the wad of the cartridge was imbedded in
the thigh of Deason, causing his deatl
through blood poisoning. The result OF
the trial is not acceptable to either party
and the courts Of last resort will be call
ed upon to settle the matter 1t i bellev

though the general trend of events seems
to show that the British are regainlng

Naauwpoort, dated Dec. 2S, reports that
Colonel De Lisle defeated Hertzog Is

Der of wagons and releasing the prisoners
captured at Philipstown. Lieutenant
Colonel Grenfell forced back KritZinger
toward yentersstad. Both commandos
are in desperate plight and will proba-
bly, never recross the Orange river.
a Standerton dispatch, dated Dec. %,
saws it is estimated that 1000 Beers We're
engaged in the operations in north Natal,
hoping to break the British line of COM
munication. This plan failed, and the
Beers were driven off in each case with
more or less loss, their casualties in the
past day or two numbering 50, while the
British casualties were slight.
According to a johannesburg dispatch
of Fridays date General French occupied
yentersdorp that day without opposition
This place, being a great telegraphic cen
ter. has been much-used by the Beers fol
the dissemination of information. Th'
possession of Ventersdorp, Richtenburt
and Zeerust gives the British a stroni
hold upon this part Of the country.
From Carnafqpn, under Saturday
date, comes a dipatch saying that th
Beers occupied VoAburg Dec. = in fore
=. and were reported TO be moving on Car
narvon, where martial law has been pro
claimed. The loyal field cornets an'
farmers have assured the authorities tina
they will remain loyal and will suppress
disloyal talk.
1t is creditably reported, according to
dispatch from Newcastle, dated Dec. y
that Louis Botha has informed Com
mandant Spruight that Kruger has sen
