BLOCKED NEAR MOUNTAIN TOP.
Explorers Brought to q Near
A~ssiniboine's summit.

A~ssiniboine's summit.
Henry Grier Bryant, traveller and ex-
plorer, recently returned from a FIVE
weeks trip In the Canadian Rockies.
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
With Walter Dwight Wilcox, a fellow
of the Royal Geographical Society or
London, who has often travelled and
made scientific Investigations there
abouts, MIR. Bryant organized an expe-
dition to explore the region around the
headwaters of the Elk and Palllser
rivers-a district covering about 2,00O
square miles, which has remained a
blank on the government maps, and,
If possible, to make an attempt to as
cend Mount Assiniboine, the Matter
horn of the Rockies. The party, con-
sisting of two Swiss guides, three cow
boys and fourteen horses, WITH pro-
visions and supplies, beside MIR. Bryant
and Mr.. Wilcox, left Banff, a station
on the Canadian Pacific, ON July Il.
and struck through the woods to the
south and up the Spray river in the
direction OF Mount Assiniboine. No
one had ever succeeded in reaching
the summit of this mountain, which
is put down in the government survey
al being IL, 900 feet high. Every at
tack on the mountain before had been
made from the north, but Mr.. Bryant
ami his party decided to try 1t from
the south, from which direction the
ascent was believed to be easier. One
of the Swiss guides was kicked by a
horse before reaching the foot, and
had to be left behind. Picking their
way over stretches of snow and rocks
and keeping as much as possible un-
der the overhanging ridges, so as to
be protected from a possible avalanche
the tarty steadily pushed upward, but
were brought to a ~standstill when only
800 feet from the top by a long trav-
erse of snow, over which 1t would
have been foolhardiness to attempt to
pass. The expedition had reached H.
125 feet, however, the highest point
ever attained. Mr.. Bryant says that 1t
Is only a question of time before the
summit will be reached, but as their
time was limited the party was com
PEELED to give it up.

Capt. A. II. BOgardus, the champlod
wing shot of tn; world, has spent tha
summer here. His shooting school haJ
been n of the features of the Parl
during the season. He has given mani
exhibitions, and his skill with the riAa

He had been a sufferer from kidney
Disease for several years, and il id-
ly developed into Bright's disease. All
his friends told him that this was incur
able and that he would never get better.
To say that he was alarmed is to put
1t mildly. This plucky mar had faced
many dangers, and it made him sick al
heart to think that at last he was to b
conquered by such a cruel foe.
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases-Doddi
Kidney Pills. He used them, and wa'
completely restored to good health.
He says:-"I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills and
to nothing else"

COIN SOUVENIRS OF TRAIN.
McKInley's Funeral Car Runs over Gold
Pieces In Pennsylvania

McKInley's Funeral Car Runs over Gold
Pieces In Pennsylvania
Tie desire for souvenirs upon the
part of the large crowds lined along
the railroad tracks at every point was
a distinctive feature of the Mckinley
funeral train, says the Pittsburg Post.
The most popular of all the methods
adopted was the placing of coins on
the track so that the train might pass
owe them, smashing fiat the pieces
of meney as a mark of identification in
years TO come. This practice was not
confiried to any particular point or
crowd, but vas INDUCED in generally
all along the route. The mutilated
coins were afterward gathered up by
their owners and displayed with much
pride. At some stations, according to
the train conductors, so many coins
were placed on the rails that it caused
a slight jar to the cars as they passed
over them. Coins of different denomi-
nations aggregating at least several
hundred dollars were strewn along the
track at Union station. Even these
relic-hunters seemed to appreciate the
occasion and surroundings, and, in
stead of making a rush for their prop
erty as soon as the train had passed,
waited until it was III of sight before
picking up the crushed coins, and by
common mute consent each was al
lowed to have his or her own without
the least quibbling among them. At
Roup station a prominent and wealthy
resident of the Shadyside district
placed a $40 gold piece upon the rail.
The approach of the train started to
shake 1t off. but it managed to remain
long enough to have just a small por-
ton OF it nipped off as If done by a
knife. The owner is quite a collector
Of souvenirs and oddities, and when
he picked up his coin he stated it
would occupy the most prominent and
conspicuous place in his large collec-
ton.

Getting Rich Fast.

Boys and young men who are un-
acquainted with the commercial chican-
cry of the present age, look at the allur-
ing offers of various ways to get rich
quick and become discontented with
travelling in the we'll beaten paths of
their fathers. The traditional b1rthrate
of the "sucker" is one every minute but
that has been greatly multiplied during
the past decade. In this age as in the
past there is no easy road to wealth and
no dollar has value that has not cost
some one dollars worth of good hard
toll. AS rule, the larger the profit you
offered the surer you are to lose your
capital. The greater the percentage
promised the better your chance of los
ing every thing you have got. The
kittens of wildcat are wild cats, and
it IS useless to expect angoras. When a
company advertises stock at thirty-fiye
cents share and announces an arbitrary
advance to fifty within thirty days or a
dividend paid in stock, you get the
certificates no doubt, but nine times out
of ten they are just paper. First, know
the character of the men who make up
the company and direct its affairs, and
second, the character of the properties
from which your profits must come.
There Is only one way to get rich quick,
and that is to get rich slow; to miss big
profits and to miss big losses.

FLEETING TIME

vii. soon have brought us new year.
Our days are passing away rapidly. When
will the last hour come? Soon this dread
query shall be answered, only too soon |!
But too soon, by far, for the many beings
who, through ignorance or stupidity, are
watonly shortening their lives. Our bod
lily functions, provided we are in health,
take their natural course. Should, on the
other hand, these functions be disturbed, !,
then we become i'll. In their ignorance, a
great many persons, by over-ea ting, oyer
eating, oyer-exercising, or lack OF bodily
exercise, interrupt the even tenor of these
functions and make themselves sick.
Then to their first folly they. add the sec
ond. They either, needless of their sym
toms, continue their toll, their mode of
living, or they confide in some quack. Are
not such people suicides? Are they not
wantonly shortening their lives? Most as
suredly. And the majority of such suicides
is recruited from those who take no heed
of the diseases of the stomach, the liver
and the kidneys, instead of curing such
insidious ills in their first stages with that
most sovereign remedy of natures dis
pensary-the renowned "St. Bernard veg
etable Pills" Headache. dizziness, palpi-
tation of the heart, etc, should cause you

Who of US is there who cannot look

Santa Claas was the real thing, and new
er questioned his ability to come down
through the chimney and out through
the open fireplace, and not feel that the
day when we discovered that he was
not what we believed HIM to be, we lost
the dearest ideal of our heart.
Life throughout is more or less de-
ception and the Ignorance that keeps us
from a knowledge of that which is art1-
fetal is the mantle of charity that com es
between us and the GOODNESS of the truth
So, all hail to the Christmas time! If
for no other reason that we NAV take
pleasure in loosening the strings of our
purses and speculate on the happiness of
others.
The Review brings to its readers this
morning the best wishes for Merry
Christmas, and the earnest expression of
nope that it shall prove the happiest
time of their lives. If it is the purpose
OF each to bring to some face brighter

United EfEoRTsi

The city council has redeemed itself
in the eyes of the people by doing on
Saturday night what it should have done
on the night previous. There seems to
have been misunderstanding as to the
purpose of the meeting, and knowing
that it was not possible to appropriate
money for any such purpose the mem
bers considered it useless to meet, and
they were justified IN their desire to
save this expense to the city, but when
they were led to appreciate the fact that
the official notice of their having consid-
cred the matter with the Commercial
Union would lend strength to the move
ment they were ready at once to assist
as far as in their power lay. The ex-
treme conservativeness of the council is
commendabie in its judicious exercise
and is appreciated by the people, but
the courtesy due body of men as rep,
resentative as the Commercial Union is
worthy of some consideration, represent.
ing as it does almost the entire business
interest of the city. The Board of Con
troll in whose hands lies the disposition
of the Training School, now has the as
surqnce that the city of New Ulm stands
ready to make good its offer of the
choice of three or four locations and 6
site that has no superior in the state
