Decrease In klondike's output Of Gold.

Major Wood, commanding the Can
adian mounted police in the Yukon
territory, who collects the royalties on
gold, reports the collection this year
on the Klondike output as amounting
to nearly 5000, 900. about 800, 900 more
than was received last year. Ten per
cent of the gold mined is supposed to
be paid to the government, which

at nearly sec, ,o00, 900.

Six masked men held up the office OF
the Western Lumber company Thurs
day evening at Portland, Ore, securing
SO, 900, and escaped in the darkness.
The robbery occurred at 6 o'clock,
when dozens of men were in the
vicinity of the mill, which is located
at Front and Seventeenth streets.
Four of the highwaymen guarded the
two entrances to the Office while the
other two entered with drawn revolv-
ers and ordered the four clerks in the
Office to hold up their hands.
The money was in envelopes ready
to be paid out to the mill hands, this
being the regular weekly payday. One
robber quickly threw the money into
sack while the other kept the mill
men covered with two revolvers. They
backed out of the office, locked the
doors and the six men made their es-
cape before the alarm could be given.

WILL SUE COUNTY.
Doctors Object to Having Bills
Slashed by Commissioners.

The county commissioners appear to
think that when a doctor presents a bill
that he raises the bill to about double
the amount he expects to receive for his
services and so they have formed a
habit of cutting all bills presented by
doctors In some cases they cut the bill
in half and in other cases they cut it
more than half. The doctors are tired
of the actions of the commissioners and
five of them have determined to bring
suit against the county for the full
amount of their bills.
The doctors who have expressed their
intention of suing the county for SER
Mcconnell, Martin and Bucxmaster. All
of these doctors have performed services
for the county and when their bills were
presented they were cut in two DR..
Donnel said that he would collect tbs
entire amount of his bill if he had to
fight the commissioners through every
court, and the other doctors are of the
same opinion. Drs. DonneH, Martin and
Buckmaster all held post norton ex-
aminations while McConnelPS bill was
for chemical analysis.
The actions of the commissioners in
their treatment of the poor who are sick
show that they don't like to spend any
money for medical services and would
let the sick suffer before they will order
a doctor to attend them They seem to
have gone a little further now and re-
fuse to allow the doctors the full amount
of their bills when services are per-
formed

ON THE SAFE SIDE.
Police Lock Up James Sullivan For
Fear He Will Steal.

James Sullivan, a man about 70 years
old is in the police station charged with
vagrancy. Sullivan is held on that charge
for the very simple reason that it will
hold him for a while and that Is all the
police care to do.
Sullivan has served a term in the pen!-
Tertiary for stealing hogs from the asy-
lum. The sentence did not seem to do
him much good and the police have been
watching him for several days.
It seems that the police found that he
had gone to Wolff's packing house and had
Iivered Monday. They knew that he did
not own a hog and thought he might be
selling something that he expected to pick
up at some farm house, so they took the
safe side and locked him up
Of course, Sullivan denies intending to
steal hogs or anything else and says that
one term in the penitentiary is enough for
him.
"Pie'' Jordan was a right hand to Sui
Ivan and it is said helped him in gather
ing in other peoples swine Pie is in
the penitentiary.

WALTZ KING MAY COME.
Date For Topeka If Auditorium
Can Be Secured.

Topeka music lovers may have an OPP
portunity of hearing the famous Strauss
orchestra in this city on January 16. A
contract for their appearance here has
been signed, contingent however upon
securing the Auditorium.
This is one of the most important
musical attractions touring in America
this season. Edward Strauss, the leader
of the orchestra, is known as the waltz
King" He is a native of Vienna and is
creating a great sensation in American
musical circles.
The western tour of the company viii
bring the orchestra to Kansas City
about the middle of January where they
play in Convention hall.
The orchestra, does not play the opera
houses as their capacity is so limited
that they will not accommod the
crowds that throng to hear it.
This is an engagement of which the
Commercial club is proud. 1t will per-
haps be the most meritorious attraction
Topeka will have this season.

coral islands, five mountainous islands Of

orator, in charge of the station at SAT-

unimportant point, not much business

The station was a place for the con-

Dolphin is a quick-tempered 1nd1Vld-

very active gang of small pugs who
made life a burden for other small boys
in Emporia. Dolphin was short on
words but long on devices. He hesitated
to tell his loafing friends at Saffordyille
that they were in his way, so he resolved
upon another expedient. While one OF
the principal nuiSanceS was sleeping on
