 Clarence s. Berry, one of the original lucky men of the KIondike, came out from Dawson last week with considera- bly, over one hundred thousand dollars in his possession.
 Placer gold in paying quantities has been discovered in the grave yard at Dawson. However, singular as it may appear, the inmates haven't got dead cinch on the layout.
 Instead of being reelected, Captain John Irving was defeated in the recent election for member of the provincial parliament. Mir. James Stables, of At lin, defeated him by F votes.
 A Skagway saloon is serving it's pa irons with mint tulips. This event marks the passing of the old order of things and the dawn of newer and brighter civilization.
 A band of eight mountain goats re- gently came down from the neighbor ing heights to make close inspection of Skagway and satisfy their curiosity in regard to an incorporated city.

HAY IN ROUND BALES.
Packed in This shape II Occupies
Less Space and There Are
other Advantages. t

Hay as well as cotton is put up nova
days in cylindrical bales, a standard
round hay bale being IS inches in diam
eter and SO inches in length. Such a
bale packed at the pressure under
which it would be put up for domestic
use would weigh about 200 pounds; as
packed for export such a bale would
contain about 275 pounds. There is
put up for army use bale of the same
diameter. but only IS inches in length,
which contains pproximately lao
pounds of hay.
In the cylindrical bale given guam
tity of hay is got into less than half the
space that it would occupy in a square
bale; and there are asserted for it other
advantages, including freedom from
mold, preservation of the sweetness
of the hay and greatly reduced combus-
tibility.
Thousands of tons of hay in cylin-
drical bales have been shipped to the
American army in the Philippines,
and large quantities of it have been
used by the British army in South At
RIGA.

NATIONS HAVE WAR CHESTS.
Vast Sums in European Treasures
Laid Up for Times of
Strife.

A source of amazement to continental
politicians is the facility with which
Great Britain obtains the money to
carry on the South African campaign.
Even our severest critics acknowledge
that in no other country could the
many millions already voted have been
obtained SO readily.
This is all the more wonderful to
them when they remember that in the
sense they understand it England has
no war chest to fall back upon. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple enough. England,
being the richest country in the world,
her credit stands high, and she is able
to raise vast sums at a moments no
tice, says the London Daily News.
The case is different in France, where
they have something like 6 70,000,00O
worth of gold and 5O,O00,000 worth of
silver ready for war time. The Austro-
Hungarian bank possesses about 3d.
100000 for a like purpose, while Ger
many clings to the old-fashioned sys-
tenn of maintaining an actual war chest.
containing G6O0O,OOO, at the fortress
of Spandau. 1t is also estimated that
Russia has ready at least 100 ,O00,O00
Financially, Europe is prepared for
the day that pessimistic prophets say
is drawing nigh--the day when wild
war shall run riot throughout the east
ern hemisphere. There is at least 1885,
100000 waiting for the time when the

CRowDING INTO THE CITIES.
Rural Districts in England Are Rap
idly Being FOrsaken by
the People.

The depopulation of the rural dis
tricts of England is beginning to cause
serious concern to the government
From statistics recently collated it is
learned that in 1901 Sc per cent. of the
population lived in towns of 1000 in
habitants and upward, whereas in 1891
GA per cent. of the population inhabited
towns exceeding 1000 in population.
The rural population in 1891 on 31,577,-
900 acres was only 5,534,O00 persons out
of a total population of 29,002,525. 1t
will be seen from these latter figures,
says London exchange, that less than
one-ffth of the whole people live in the
country and are engaged in rural occu-
pations. Lord Avebury, in commenting
upon these figures, ascribed the de-
crease of rural population to the failure
of the country schools to foster interest
in country life and objects. There have
been other causes at work, however.
The great development in the pleasures
and recreations of town life, the in
creased interest in politics, agricultural
depression, miserable labor wages and
last, but perhaps not least, the local
tyranny of squire and parson, have con-
tributed to this result 1t is perhaps
yet to be seen whether the development
of local government will have the de-
sirable effect of making country life
more interesting and tolerable.

Is It an Epidemic?

At no time in the history of disease has
there been such an alarming increase in
the number of cases of any particular
malady as in that of kidney and bladder
troubles now preying upon the people OF
this country.
Today we see a relative, friend or an
acqu aintance apparently well, and IN a
few days we may be grieved to learn of
their serious illness or sudden death,
caused by that fatal type of kidney trou-
ble-Bright's disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes advanced
into acute stages before the afflicted is
aware of its presence; that is why we
read of so many sudden deaths of prOmi-
nent business and professional men,
physicians and others. They have ne
glecte ed TO stop the leak in time.
While scientists are puzZling their
brains to find out the cause, each indi-
vidual can. by little precaution, avoid
the chances of contracting dreaded and
dangerous kidney trouble, or eradicate il
cOmplel ely from their system if already
afflicted. Many precious lives might
have bet q, and many more can yet be
saved, by paying attention to the kidneys
IL is the mission of the UNITED OPINION
to benefit its readers at every opportunity
and therefore we advise all who have any
symptoms of kidney or bladder trouble to
write today to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, n. Y, for free sample bottle of
Swamp Root, the celebrated specific
which is having such a great demand and
and remarkable success in the cure of the
most distressing kidney and bladder
troubles. With the sample bottle of
Swamp Root will also be sent free a
pamphlet and -reatise of valuable infor-
nation.
