BIG EXODUS FROM YUKON.
Hundreds of Men are Leaving the
Country.

Tocama, Aug. 24.-The greatest ex-
odus from Yukon river points known
is now in progress. Not since the
rush inward in 1897 and 1898 have
so many people been travelling the
700-mile stretch between Dawson and
Skagway as now. In two days last
week 1900 men started up the river.
Five hundred had previously left, and
not less than 1900 more will come
out between now and September Is.
There are several reasons for the
exodus. 1t is fastened primarily by
the fierce rate war on between the
steamers of the White Pass railway
and Independent lines. Rates have
been cut from $50 first-class and $40
second class to SIS and SO. Dawson
has had large surplus population
all summer. This included 600 men
who went in expecting to get work
on the Klondike Mines railway, to be
constructed from Dawson up Klon-
dixie creek toward Stewart river. Sur
veys and preliminary work has been
uSldyS GU NY vi
cial arrangements in New York.
these workmen are now coming out
rather than winter in Yukon.
Dawson police have served notice
on several hundred men of question
able character that they must leave
before the snow flies. Added to this
throng are hundreds of men who have
spent several winters inside and are
coming out to enjoy milder eli
mate
The output of the Klondike district
has dropped this summer, the amount
of gold shipped during May, June
and July being about six and hall
millions. A larger proportion than
formerly is being kept inside for bus
mess purposes, and several big
machinery plants are just COM
mencing operations.

Murdered in Wvominn.

Richard Smith, a resident of this
valley, has reason to believe that his
sister, her husband and two children
were murdered by bandits some
where in Wyoming, although he can
not get any direct information.
These relatives were bound for Kalis-
pell, coming overland driving a good
team, their household goods having
been shipped sometime since to Mr..
Smith at Kalispell. The last letter
he had fro mthem was dated at
Wheatland, Laramie county, Wyo-
ming, and since that time his letters
have remained unanswered. Some
weeks ago the Associated Press re-
ported the finding of the bodies OF a
man, woman and children somewhere
in central Wyoming but there was
nothing found to identify them. Taken
in connection with the last point Mr..
Smith heard from them he is inclined
to the belief that highwaymen COM
and ran off the horses, burning every
thing that might lead to their detec'
ton. Mr.. Smith says his brother-in
law had a large sum of money with
him besides a splendid outfit and that
he has been nervous on their ac
count since they reached The plains
He endeavored to dissuade the party
from the long and hazardous trip
without avail, and firmly believes

DEATH OF ADMIRAL SAMPSON.

The death of Admiral Sampson was
not unexpected. He had been a suf-
ferer for months and perhaps more
than year, and the unhappy contro-
versies that grew out of the Spanish
war, no doubt accelerated the disease.
Admiral Sampson was brave and an
accomplished naval officer; the dispo-
sition of the fleet under his command
was admirable and led to the down
fall OF Spanish rule in Cuba and Porto
Rico. Through no fault of his own,
but because he charged himself with
duties all along the line of blockade
he was not present in person when the
conflict began that terminated in the
destruction of Cervera's squadron, but
his orders We're present and carried
out in such a way as to bring about a
victory. History will not deny to
Sampson that which clearly belongs to
him as great naval commander.

cRoAkERs AND eRuMBLERs.

And now there are croakers and
grumblers in different parts of the
state who VOW and declare that they
are getting too much rain and that
they cannot plant their corn. That is
their own fault entirely. There has
never been more favorable season for
corn planting than the present. Rains
were withheld for long enough time
to enable the sagacious farmer to
prepare the ground and plant. The
rains began to come just at the right
time and if corn had been planted dur
ing the dry spell it would now be COM
ing up.
The grumblers and croakers how
ever need not be alarmed about too
much rain nor fear that they will not
get favorable opportunity to plant
by May 20, which is regarded by many
successful farmers as quite early
enough.

THE DOCTRINE OF. CHANCES IN
STORMS.

This is the so-called cyclone period
and while it is true that considerable
damage has already been done in va
rious parts of the state yet if the doc
trine of chances be applied to cyclones
there is not much danger to any par
ticular locality. Nervous people allow
themselves to be tortured with appre-
tensions of evil without any good rea-
sons for their fear. Take, for instance,
the locality OF Qttumwa or Wapello
county and during the historic period
there has never been a destructive cy-
clone recorded within the borders of
either city or county Many years ago
a cyclone of narrow scope passed
through the country Immediately north
of the city and near the limits but one
house was wrecked. Later than this
remarkable little cyclone destroyed
an iron bridge over the river but nc
other damage was done and no one
was injured. There have been cleo
trical storms throughout the county
and in the city from time to time but
no considerable destruction of prop
erty resulted, and it is safe to say that
4 scarcely half dozen lives were lost
by lightning during the past quarter Of
a century in the county More people
!. have been injured by runaways or 9th
er accidents occurring in the usual
avocations of life than through storm
effects, and yet the people take nc
thought of the dangers that Turk else

MRS. RACHEL BALDWIN.

w. j. Spaulding, of Mt. Pleasant, in
the Burlington Hawk-E Eye: Nature is
prodigal in her gifts. 1t is not neces-
sary to go to legislative assemblies,
to the marts of trades, to the profess
sions, or to turn over the leaves of
this worlds history to find people of
extraordinary natural endowment for
statecraft, for oratory, for diplomacy,
for organizing ability, Tor inventive
genius, or the possession of gifts that
command an easy success in achieve
ments that attract the attention and
comment of the world whenever there
is favoring opportunity. And SO it can
be truthfully said of this man or that
woman who have finished their earth
ly careers without having achieved
great results in the affairs of the
world, and who have not been in the
public eye-nature made them noble
and great.
| This statement is true in respect of
| Mrs. Rachel Baldwin, whose death at
the advanced age of Sc years occurred
last week in the picturesque little
town of Keosauqua, which has been
long noted for the distinguished peo-
pie who began their life's work in
that quiet spot.
Claiming such men as Senator
Wright, Judge Knapp, Judge Caldwell,
Governor Stannard of Missouri, Judge
/ G. G. Nourse, and many others, it is
not matter of surprise that there
should be found woman there also,
who by natural gift should take rank
with them. Such a woman was Mrs.
Baldwin. She was e-eminently en-
dowed with the graces, talent and
qualities belonging to the highest
type of womanhood A sister of Gov.
Wright of Indiana, and of Judge
Wright of this state, she naturally
i shared the general qualities which
gave them high rank in law, in poll,
tics, and in the mastery of state af-
fairs.
In mental endowment she had the
quality of seer, that is, she possess.
ed a great spiritual sublety. Her
powers of close observation were
marked. She was philosophically and
spiritually strong character, seeing
the reality of things. Had she been
given a place of public trust she

]. M. Bechtel is the founder of apple
orchards in southwestern Iowa. Thir-
ty-one years ago he began to expert
ment and now has an orchard of 1000

by a quotation from the message OF
President Polk, Dec. 2, 1876, which is
as follows:
"As soon as the act to admit Texas

of the two republics will be consum-
mated by their own voluntary consent.

tend our territorial possessions by con.
