Unable to Stand For Months Because Of
4 Sprained Ankles. y.
CURED BE ST. JACOBS OIL.
(From the Cardiff Times.

a
II Among the thousands Of voluntary endorse
ments Of the great value Of st. Jacobs OIL for
|.prains, stiffness, and soreness, Is that OF Mrs.
|G. Thomas, Alexandra Road, Cell, Ysbrod,
near Pontypridd, South Wales, who says:-- .5
SIT lis with great pleasure that Iadd my will
ing testimony to the invaluable excellence OF
your celebrated st. Jacobs Oil, as experienced
lin my own case. I sprained both my ankles
in walking down some steps 80 severely that Z
was unable to stand for several months. Tho;
pain suffered was most severe, and nothing
that used helpsd me until I I>applied St
Jacobs OIL, when they Immediately became
better daily, and in short time I was able to
go about, and soon after was quite cured. I.
am now determined to advise all persons suf7
fering from pains to use this wonderful REM
edy, which did 30 much for me-"
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to
what treatment she pursued during the
months she was unable to stand, and during
which time she was suffering 80 much, but we
venture to suggest that had she called In any
well known medical man he would have at
once have prescribed st. Jacobs Oil, for it has
conquered pain upwards Of fifty years, and
doctors know there is nothing so good. The
proprietors of st. Jacobs OIL have been award
ed twelve gold medals by different interna-
tional exhibitions as the premier n-killinS
remedy Of the world. The committees who
made the awards were in each instance COM
posed largely Of the most eminent medical
men obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did
not know the high opinion in which st. Jacobs
Oil is held by almost every progressive med.
ical man. ....... e&

Future Gateway

That vast and comparatively. unknown section, lying east of the Yukon and bordering the Panama river for hundreds of miles, and known under the conlprc- hensive and indifferent title, of the 'Ian- ana Countrv'', Is the coming section ot Northwest Alaska. From the neager and inadequate reports at hand, 1t $ hard to form a correct estimate Ot It's manifold advantages and possibilities; but all explorers are unanimous, Ill this ole fact; that 1t is the only portion o1 Northwe stern Alaska that shows any con ditlons favoring agricultural possibilities
 It abounus Ill rolling hills and valleys, covered with long waving grasses, waist deep. Undoubtedly where such luxurl- ent growth can exist; cattle and all other stock can be supported.
 The field is a virg ill one, and combined with the known vast deposits of almost pure native copper and immense coal fields, is one that would tempt the aver age man who is at all ventureso1ne.

Its sea- sons are fully two months earlier than those along tile river and correspondingly later.
 The one fact that has retarded all def- nate knowledge, of this section, is that until recently, there has been no coast base of supplies. Parties who have crossed to the coast, have had to take a small boat, put out to sea to Ko- dlac, where the mail steamer arrives once i'll each month; very risky proposition.
 Valdes is now the base and the only open harbor along the northwest coast, connected with the outside world by tele- graph, and a steamer service to Seattle.

ANGELS BAT OUT
A CLEAN VICTORY
Straighten Out Iburg's
Curves for Nineteen
Base Hits.
Dougherty Makes a Great
Record of Six Hits in
One Game.

Los Angeles won hands down from the
San Franciscos yesterday at Recreation
Park by a score of II to 1.
Joshua Reilly did all the scoring for the
| Wasps. He was the first batter up in the
fifth inning and sent the first ball pitched
| over the center-field fence for a home
| run.
The Angels fell on Iburg's curves for a
total of nineteen hits Dougherty made a
remarkable record as batsman. He was
the first time it has been accomplished
here this season. 1t is seldom player
is at bat six times in game. Having the
opportunity, it is seldom a man has the
! ability to make hit each time. Dough-
erty scored four of the Angels runs.
Pitcher McPartlin. who aggravates both
players and spectators by his delibera-
| tions, won his tenth successive victory.
The game was drawn out two hours
and ten minutes partly owing to Nc
Partlins methods. He carefully polishes
| the ball and then goes all over it again.
Then he tries some of March King Sou
sa's movements. When he tires of this
| he remembers there is sand in his glove
which must be removed. By this time
the batsman is ready to hit at anything
/ that comes over the plate. The Jeers of
| the spectators have no effect on MOZART
| lin. He goes through the same aggravat-
| ing tactics with the next man up-and
wins games
Los Angeles played an errorless game,
while the Wasps are charged with three
errors, all of which let in runs.
The southern batters commenced their
execution in the second. Kihm and Hall.
the first two up were out at first: Reilly
and Spies singled and McPartlin was
given pass to first, filling the bases.
HemphilI bunted along the left foul line,
scoring Reilly. Dougherty scored Spies
with well placed hit over the pitchers
| head. Atherton struck out, retiring the
side
Kihm scored Dougherty in the fifth with
a two-bagger. Dougherty scored again in
the seventh, coming home on the throw
In of Halls fly to left field. Dougherty
and Spies scored in the eighth on Ather-
| tons two-bagger
| Los Angeles punched its hits in the
ninth, scoring five men on five hits, aided
| by some errors.
The field was slippery, providing un-
safe footing for the players, especially
interfering with their throwing. The at
tendance was large. Score
