dark in fact that they did not dare trot
the horse much of the way and let him
walk. A little fox terrier was with
them and was trotting along behind the
wagon.
The vehicle has rubber tires and was
gliding along quietly, out near the
railroad crossing about five miles from

The little dog was onto his job, how
ever, and saw the man before the oc-
cupants of the carriage heard his voice
and started for him with as much of
a growl and snarl as his little lungs
were capable of.
The man hesitated. for in the dark
ness he was unable to tell whether it
was a st. Bernard or pup. He asked
if the dog was ugly and was given to
understand that if he advanced a step
he would be torn limb from limb. He
evidently did not like the prospect for

SUFFERING At NOME.
Hundreds Are Destitute Money Is Scarce ard
Gold Not Very Plenty.

Seattle, Wash. Aug. 16.-The steam-
ship Centennial has arrived from Nome
with advices of the wreck of the steam
ers Merwin, Resolute and Dollar on
the beach during the fierce storms OF
August and 8. The Merwin is a total
loss One boat containing five people
was overturned and all We're drowned
Fifteen people We're drowned in all so
far. Ten are unknown.
Gen. Randall has received instruc-
tions to afford transportation to over
5000 destitute and INDECENT sick a.
Nome. Terrible sufferings are said 10
lie prevailing among them. A chaotic
state of turmoil and lawlessness is ex-
pected before all are gotten iout.
The Centennial brought back 900 dis
gusted passengers. Nome officials are
ccnsured The present privations and
sufferings, it is claimed, resulted over
the rejection of the prospectors from
the beach strip on which many ha q
depended for the necessities of life.
Money is scarce in camp and there is
very little gold from the creeks, owing
to the continued dry weather. Sickness
is still prevalent.

some of the work has been interfered
with by wet weather, yet it has been

The weather conditions would have
discouraged most anybody but the
members of the 1st Maine. At the first
call the men rose to find that a heavy
mist was falling. The mist turned in
to rain and there was continuous
downpoGr all the forenoon which pre-
vented all work and kept everybody
but the guards within the tents.
Some of the mischievously inclined
began to rake their brains for some
thing to break up the monotony, and
as "A result the report began to circu-
late that Barney" the mascot goat Of
Co. G. had presented the company with
another mascot. The call went through
the camp that Barney had a kid. and
most everybody went to his quarters
in order to see the new arrival. A
large box with a canvas top and front
was found in charge of one of the men
and each visitor went forward, took
a look and then withdrew with broad
grin. for the lifting of the canvas re-
vealed Barney, but the kid was sol
der hoy with his head covered with
cape. 1t is with such little jokes as
this that the soldier boys beguile the
time away on rainy day.
The officer of the day, yesterday, was
Capt. Chas. A. Siteman, Co. r: COM
mander of the guard. Lieut.. Willard
c. Pooler, Co. H; supernumerary Off
Ger. Lieut.. Walter w. Smith.
Capt. James B. O'Neill, assistant sur
geon on the staff of Col Kendall re-
ports the health of the command as
surprisingly good. 1T is due to the
excellent precautionary measures TAX
en- by those in authority" he said.
1.-THE hospital corps have not been
working on the superstition that there
are to be ceffain number of sick men
to look after but that all efforts must
be exerted to have none at ALL 1t is
somewhat analogous with the Chinese
method of medical practice. AS long as
the Chinese doctors patients are in
good health he receives his pay, but
when they are taken sick the pay
stops.
Governor Powers arrived in camp, at
1915 yesterday afternoon. accompanied
by Adjutant General Richards. Gov.
Powers came from Camp Benson, New
port, where he has been attending the
annual Grand Army encampment.
The Governor was greeted with sa-
lutte of II guns and took dinner at
headquarters. occupying the seat of
honor with Gen. Richards on his right
and Major Strong of the regular army
on his left. The colors were displayed
at headquarters during the Governors
stay:
After dinner the Governor inspected
the camp and expressed himself to "a
Journal man as much pleased with the
general appearance of the camp and
men. The visit of Governor Powers was
not of an official nature. Heretofore
Thursday of muster week has been set
apart as Governors day, and large
crowds of visitors have been in camp
on that day. There will be no Govern
or's day, this year. The Governor will.
visit the camp again, next Thursday,
when the I'd regiment will be here. He
left on the afternoon train for his home

Thinks His Superior will not be Found.
During the last two congressional cam
paigns, so many boasts were made that
McCleary would be defeated, and they
proved to be so utterly groundless, that we
have little confidence in the rumors now
afoat that he will be retired this year. We
very much doubt the ability of the second
district to produce man who will be the
superior of Mr.. McCleary, in intelligence,
education, and craftsmanship. and this
year, as previously, the people of this dis
trict will be found reluctant to prefer an
other candidate over one as competent as
our present representative.-Pipe

New York fnanciers estimate that dur.
ing the next few months the United States
will export $50. 900. 900 in gold to Europe.
The Chicago Inter Ocean remarks that a
few years ago this announcement would
have been received with alarm all over
the country. This is true. But things
have changed since the country voted in
favor of the gold standard and such an an
nouncement is not taken as matter of
natural business. Since 1896 we have ad-
ded to our supply of gold nearly $3.50, 900,
900 from the mines, and $3.50, 900, 900 from
Europe in payment of debts for our ex-
ports. The present gold stock of the
United States is now estimated at over
81 900, 900, 900. and that SIS, 900, 900 more
will be added this year from the mines.
The United States can spare the $50, ooo,.
900 of gold to Europe and never miss it.
