The greatest fortune any mother can
bestow On her child is 4 healthy body
and a happy mind, and with this great
fortune every mother may endow the
child if she will. The Cllild's stock of
health is what the mother supplies. The
weak and worried woman has a very
slender stock of health to bestow on
the baby.

The words were those of Major Nc

I served under President Mckinley

Before we started on this scouting

turned the oats out to feed my horse,

MY horse was wounded, as was Major

at the same time complimenting his

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 31.-Mr. James
Eggleston, president of the Pacific Elk
press company is out of the city and
could not be seen in respect to the rob-
berry of an express car of that company
on the Union Pacific in Wyoming last
Wednesday night. Mr.. Harrison, his

erintendent had reported to headquar-
tiers that the robbers obained less than
500. The safe was blown open, he
said, and the car badly damaged by the
explosive used to effect an entrance.
Information as to the contents Of the
safes was not given out at headquarters
so it is not known whether the robbers
secured any valuable packaes or not.

Not a single whisper of news has
come from the posse pursuing the
train robbers since Sheriff Swanson
reported early yesterday morning that
tie posse was close upon the fugitives.
The railroad officials scarcely expect
to hear anything for two or three days.
The direction taken by the four ban
dts was toward a thinly settled, bar
rem country, far away from telegraphic
communication. Even if the posse had
come up with them by this time a good
many hours would be required to send
the news to the railroad. Nevertheless
the officials are waiting expectantly in
the hope that any hour will bring good
news.
1t is said that the trail of the robbers
has been followed with considerable
difficulty owing to certain methods en-
ployed by the outlaws to shake off
their pursuers. A number of streams
were crossed, and in these the robbers
waded their horses until they came to
a ledge Of rocks, when their mounts
would be urged along over the lodges
for several miles, leaving no trail
in the chase, the man hunters num-
bering in the aggregate over 100 men.
All are well armed and are mounted
on splendid horses, while a majority
of the men have traversed the country
many times and know every foot of the
ground.
The trail leads south in the direction
of Bitter Creek mountains and if the
present course is pursued it will go
through what is known as Hay
stacks" a rough country with many
natural hiding places. Unless the rob-
bers know the country they will be at
a great disadvantage, as the only water
o%btainable is in water holes, a 1najori-
ty of the creeks having driedup. 1t is
presumed, however, hat the bandits
are well acquainted with the country
because Of its closeness to the noun
tains.
Certain acts of the outlaws also lead
to the belief that they are members Of
Butch C~assady's gang, in which event
they know the mountainous country
now being traversed even better than
the oldest frontiersman and scout in
the pursuing posse. AS there are in
Vulnerable places in the mountains ad-
mirably adapted for an ambush it is
feared should the robbers be hard
pressed they will set an ambush for
the posses. If the outlaws are over
taken a battle will surely be fought.
Both parties being armed with Win
chesters there will doubtless be blood
shed. Officials Of the Union Pacific
railroad and the Pacific Express COM
pany are securing the country for
b~loodhounds, which will be used in case
the robbers succeed in eluding the
posses.
A number of Pinkertcns have been
sem to the scene of the hold-up from
Denver and Omaha and these will also
join in the chase.
A report is current here that the rob-
bers secured upwards OF 500, 900 in
currency, which "a being sent to
American soldiers in Manila and Chi
ma, but the truth of the story cannot
be obtained. The express company
still maintains that the desperadoes Sc

not known.

The NOrthIand
The Latest News, from Reliable Sources, Concerning the Great
 North, Condensed.
Information for Everybody.

People coming from Seattle, who witnessed the flight of the Klondikers from that city three years ago, say that great event pales into insignifcance in comparison with the present rush to Nome.
 The steamer Lakme sailed from Seat tie May 18th with 200 passengers and 900 tons of freight. A few days later, her sister ship, the Santa Ana, got away with 325 passengers and 500 tons of freight.
 There are a large number of people at Bennett who are preparing to go to Nome and Dawson on scows, small tonnage boats and other craft of light weight order. Some even will go down on rafts.
 The brig Tanner, bound from Port Townsend for Nome with a cargo of lumber. went ashore at Point Wilson on the evening of the 10th inst. This is the first disaster to overtake the Nome fleet of 1900.
 Skagway papers now lovingly refer to ! it as the "sun-kissed valley of the 4u- kon." and evidently wonder why people should tempt fate by going to Nome by the ocean route when the aforesaid kissed" is open for business.
 The management of the steamer Cliff ford Sifton, the White Horse tramway and the Yukon Flyer line, have agreed upon a joint rate from Bennett to Daw' son. This move is in opposition to the White Pass and Canadian Development company.
 The steamer Flora was the first boat to reach Dawson this year from the head of navigation on the Yukon. It arrived at that point on the 16th inst This steamer has been the first to ar rive at Dawson from above for the past three years.
 The New York Mining and Engineer ing Journal warns eastern spectators and would be bonanza kings that tho much advertised dredging schemes fol the beach at Cape Nome are impracti cal and generally designed for sucker; and other fresh water fish.
 A party of Skagway nimrods, includ ing Judge Sehlbrede, are making prep arations for hunt after big game II the vicinity of Haines. They expect tc exterminate the bear in that locality This may do to bear in mind for 1t Il barely possible that they may succeed It is the general opinion among thC old timers that the Copper river coun try, in few years, is destined to b' the most populous portion of Alaska The copper and quartz, grazing and az ricultural lands tributary thereto ar' the magnets of attraction that vii assist in making that entire region ia nous in the years to come.
Douglas Island news., 1900-05-30

The British steamer Alpha which sailed from Vancouver for Nome some time ago was on May 7th compelled to put back to Dutch Harbor after laying off the ice for twenty-one days ll5 miles to the westward. She replenished her coal bunkers on May 9th and again sailed for the westward to be ready to force a passage through the ice at the first opportunity.
 It is generally conceded that the Nome gold belt extends across to the Siberian coast, and in all probability the beach diggings are just as rich as at Nome. Late advices are to the effect that the Russian government has re- moved the restrictions applying to for eigners, and several expeditions are fit ting out at Sound points to thoroughly explore the Siberian shore line.
 It is said that the McKenzie-M Mann people will build a railroad from point 40 miles south of Port Simpson to the Klondike. but that it will probably be two years before work is begun. Me Kenzie-Mann is the outfit that made such a bowling success of the Cassiar Central and the Telegraph Creek-Teslin lines two or three years ago, when Fort Wrangel was supposed to be the hab Of the Alaskan universe.
 The transportation companies oper, ating on ;he Yukon between Dawson and St. Michaels have cut fares from Dawson to the sea to sGO The old rate was S1OO. This looks like throwing down the gauntlet to ocean companies and the upper river navigators, and may result in rate war that would demor, alize both the freight ana passenger traffic, not only to Nome, but to Daw' son and other interior points.
 The customs house report shows that a66 ,93O worth of American goods found their way into the interior from Skag way in the month of April, while the value of British goods bonded through amounted to S117,7O4 In March the traffic in American goods was 9lO2,OOC and in British goods bonded through s246.OOO. These figures tend to show that Canadian goods have a lead pipe cinch in the interior markets.
 Some of the citizens of Skagway, un mindful of the ravaging effects of the Nome fever, and supremely confident of the everlasting stability of their owr town, have commenced to improve theil home surroundings by setting out fruit and ornamental trees. They will eX pertinent with apple, plum and pear and if successful will undertake the cultivation of few tropical varieties such as figs, pineapples and bananas
 The tramp steamer Hero sailed from Dutch Harbor May 9th and arrived al Victoria on the morning of the 18th According to reports made by officers of the Hero, the mail boat running be tween Sitka and Unalaska is missing being month overdue at the latter port. A large number of boats fol 1 Nome are laying at Unalaska and Dutcf Harbor waiting for the ice to disappear and navigation to open. It is the gen eral opinion there that no boat vii succeed in reaching Nome before the latter part of June, as the weather il the north is the worst that has been eX perienced in years.
Douglas Island news., 1900-05-30

The Pacific Coast S. s. Company has announced an excursion rate of S60 from the Sound to Lynn Canal points, Sitka aud Glacier Bay. The Queen will head the fleet of excursion boats and will reach here June 15, to be followed five days later by the Cottage City, and five days after that by the City of To- peka. Sixteen excursions are billed for the season.
 Judge Louis K. Pratt of Skagway says that the reputed placer strike in the vicinity of Klukwan is a fake, and that the ground had been salted with copper filings. The people of Haines, however, stampeded in body for the new diggings, evidently satisfied that they were going up against the real thing. Several Douglas people are with the stampeders and something definite concerning the real situation there may be learned shortly.
 Within the next three years, in all probability, the great bulk of American travel to the Yukon and it's tributaries will be going in by the way of Valdez and the Copper river. Then it will come to pass that Skagway will be no longer known as the gate city to. AIaska's inland empire. Little travel, except that destined for British terri tory, will pass that way. No American courts business with Canadian customs officers, and as soon as the all. Ameri- can route is completed, traffic with them will cease.
 The steamer Robert Dollar attempt ed to leave Seattle with 65 more pas sengers than she was allowed by law to- carry. Twenty-two stowaways were found on board and unceremoniously hustled ashore. In ejecting the sur plus passengers and locating and re- moving their baggage and belongings much confusion and excitement pre- vailed and riot was narrowly averted> For short time affairs in the vicinity of the Robert Dollar assumed very souaIly appearance and there was a smell of birthstone in the air.
 Two and one-half tons of powder was exploded in one blast on the rail- road along Lake Bennett May 10th and six thousand cubic yards of earth and rock was thrown into the lake, POO feet below. Ice on the lake was cracked in thousand places for distance ot four miles, and tidal wave four feet high swept out from the shore line. The shock of the shot shook the earth for miles around, but the report of the eX. plosion was smothered and could not be heard for a distance exceeding half mile. This shot was the largest ever fired in Alaska, and it's execution was all that was expected.
 A dead man was found seated on rock on Glacier creek in the White Pass valley, one day last week. De- ceased was apparently about 55 or 60 years old, about 5 feet inches in height, and weighed about 150 pounds. He is supposed to have been dead for more than month. Cause of death not known, though the position and ap- pearance of the body indicated that it was from natural causes. There was nothing on his person to reveal his identity. It is believed, however, that he was resident of Skagway, at which place it was learned he had purchased prospecting outfit somewhere about the first of April.
