wallace's Circus.

There are times when ones power Of
description fails. There are occasions
when mere words seem weak and puny in
comparison with the subject about which
they are engaged.
This is a case in point. Who is the man
with a command OF eloquence equal to the
task of doing justice to the unapproaeh-
able, the matchless, the all-surpassing
Nelson family
Their work is indescribable. To con-
vey TO the lsymen even 1.-THE of its man
fold points OF superiority and excellence.
They are the acrobats of the age, Descend
ed from scrobats through generations OF
ancestors, who we're each in turn kings
and queens in their day. They have by
process OF evolution and heredity at
tanned physique which is acrobatique in
every pore, and renders 1t possible for
them to perform with ease feats that
other artists can only contemplate
dream of--but never hope to attain.
The Nelson's are under contract to the
great Wallace shows and appear only with
this mammoth organization. The salary
paid them is tupendous-almost past
belief. They receive 81 $50 for every week
OF service This is due to the fact that
Mr.. Wallace wished to control them
exclusively. The Wallace shows exhibit
at Randolph on Thursday, June eth.
Big as the immense tents are, their tre-
mendous capacity will be tested to their
utmost limits.

ALL THREE KILLED
IN THE SAME WAY
Bodies of Murdered Men All
Bear Similar Wounds.
LATE INTERIOR ADVlCES
Last Body Recovered Was Hard to
Identify Because of Decomposi-
tion--C1ayson, Ralfe and Olson
All Shot in the Head and Body.
LATE INTERIOR ADVICES

The Dawson News of June 20, received
last evening, gives particulars in regard to
the body found on the Yukon and supposed
to be that of Olson, the third member of
the party that was killed on Dawson trail
last winter. The News states that there
are two wounds-one in the head and one
in the bodv--the same as borne by the
bodies of Clayson and Relfe, who were
with Olson. The News was not certain
as to the identity Of the body, but t. 5.
Busbv, in charge Of the Canadian customs
here and who also has charge of the Dos
minon Geographic service at this point,
SAYS there is no question the remains are
those Of Olson.
The News says further:
''Dr. Thompson, of the N. w. M. P,
showed the wounds found upon it, both
apparently being bullet holes. One enters
the left side of the face in front of the ear
and emerges on the right side; the other
penetrates the small of the back but has
NO exit as far as known. Or. Thompson
will make post mortem examination.
Tie conviction seems to be growing, how
el el, that the BODY is that of the unfortu>
nate lineman, who accompanied Clavson
AMI Relic on the dav 50 fatal to all three.
''fhe body was found living along the
waters edge between SeIwyn and the
Island Post, where it was taken by the N.
W. M. P, packed in ice and shipped to
d iWson.
The body is in a badly decomposed
condition, much worse than the decaying
rem lins of either q ivson and ReIte, and
is utterly unacceptable from the features,
hence the difficulty of identification.
"A belief has also been expressed that
the body may be that of Graves. the con-
federate of O'Brien, who is believed to
have been killed IN order to forever silence
any dangerous testimony he might give,
The suppostion that il might be Graves
finds some confirmation in the fact that the
clothing worn does not correspond very ac-
curatelv with the description furnished

made in giving the description. as no one

his preliminary examination at the police
court June 20, but the case was remande
until the next dav."

LEGAL BATTLE
GROWS FIERCE
Contest Over Jack Wade
Mines Drawing Out.
SPEECHES LAST ALL DAY
Not "a Point Being Overlooked In the
Contention Over One Million
Dollars Worth of Mining Prop
ertv--TO Decide Monday.

Never before in the history of Skag-
as is being wagcd over the possc
of the Jack Wade mining claims in
controversy in the case now pending in
the district court. The amount in
volVed in the case is estimated at more
than one million dollars, and the attor
neys on both sides are overlooking no
point, technical or otherwise.
1t was after six O'Clock last night
when the court adjourned until Mon
day morning, and the arguments of the
counsel over the motion for u non-suit
made by the defendi nt's attorneys Fri
day afternoon had just closed 1t was
four o'clock Friday when The jury was
! excused until the court could decide
whether or not he would instruct them
to find verdict for the defendant.
And, though the court did not adjourn
until after six O'Clock and convened
again at $3.50 yesterday morning, it
was eleven before Attorney jennings
had finished his opening argument.
Judge Allen then took several hours
in oppt sing the demand for preemptory
instructions and Messrs. innings and
Delaney finished the day in closing.
The list of authorities quoted and
cited by the attorneys On each side was
large, and every available table in the
court room was stacked to overcrowd-
ing with sheep bound volumes. Judge
Brown before adjourning court last eve
ming complimented the attorneys on
each side upon their exhaustive pre-
sentation of the case.
The jury empaneled on the case
although drawing pay from Uncle Sam
has not be n in attendance on the court
since Friday afternoon. 1t was excused
yesterday morning until $3.50 O'Clock

Something About Saake's Beer and
Where 1t Is Made--Under Person
al Supervision--Life-T Exper-
ience--Fome Institution.

Charles A. Sake, proprietor of the CITY
Brewery and pioneer brewer of lager beer
in Skagwav, says the demand for his
product is still increasing, Notwithstanding
spirited opposition. In fact. it has forced
place for itself IN the trade and has no
need to fear that it will be encroached
upon.
Why should it not be a permanent fix
ture in Skagwav's liquor trade The lit
tie brewery on Seventh avenue and Main
street, where it is made, is one of the best
appointed and most complete in the coun-
trv. The material used is the very best
and the appliances unsurpassed. The
workmen are not only skilled and expert
but Mr.. Sake himself is brewer of a
life's experience. He commenced in Ger
many when vet boy, and after leaving
the fatherand he was employed for years
! in.the leading brewery in Milwaukee, the
CITY made famous BY the quality of its
beer.
nC pant VI tIC lily DlCNCly NONNls
nearly 10000 square feet of land, is two
stories high, and is, every inch of it, util-
lied in the manufacture of the best lager
and steam beer. The cold storage rooms
in the CITY Brewery excel anything of the
kind in Alaska. They are larger and have
greater capacity than in any brewery nortt
of Puget sound. Only natural ice, gath
cred and stored in winter time, is used. anC
Mr.. Sake maintains It is far superior Il
the artihciaIlv produced ice.
Another feature claimed by Mr.. Sake il
connection with his beer is the age. Hi
first brew occurred months ago and wa
so permitted to take on age naturally
"Manv inexperienced brewers are induced,
he said, "to make short cut by the us
OF chemicals to age beer. Such practices
are not conducive to flrst-class article
There is only one true agency in aginj
beer and th;t is time. That is my polio,
and it is the result of experience"
Those who are using Mr.. >aake's lage
beer in their trade are loud In their pralS
of the article he produces. Experts pro
nounce it the equal of any draught bee
put on the market.
While Mr.. Sake is making large guam
titles of lager beer, he finds the deman
for steam beer so great that he will no
abandon its manufacture, but will give
the same careful attention in the futur
that he has bestowed upon it in the past
Mr.. Sake personally oversees his entir
brewery. There is not step from the be
ginning to the end which is not directe
by his experienced skill.
INV interests are all in Skagwav," h
says. ." am here to stay, and propos
to give the people of this citv as good
quality of lager and steam beer as is mad

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate The action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action OF the system, and that is ell
they took when feeling dull and bad
