 The shipments from other parts of Yukon territory, other than the Klon- dike proper, are not included in the foregoing. Were they embraced tho shipments from the Yukon for the year would be swollen, chiefly by Stew art, Big Salmon and FOrtymile streams, perhaps, to half million dollars more.
 To the tahulated stateineut might also be added half million to mil libn sent out this season. during May, before. the compulsory export certii- cates becamesoperative, after tso river opened, and several hundred thousands sent out in the winter over the ice.
 There is another addition to be made in the seasons totals in what will go out this month. Since the first of this month great deal of gold has been forwarded. The hanks and the big sonpwtaies are taking the advantage of this last opportunity in October to ship what they have on hand, and the Individual holders of dust, including miners and a number of merchants, are shipping no mconside Hable sums. The shipments will probably cease in ten days nioray bat siacsa the fist of the nsnth there has been almost a con- stant string of people at the export certificate window at the gold com- misSioner's office.
 The sluicing season is at close, but the gold is still drifting in from the creeks in some quantity. Winter work will soon be we'll under way.

 Gold has been discovered on Dawson creek, in West Dawson, and on small tributary of that creek. Seventy dol lars was cleaned up by two men shovel- ing in in three hours. The work the last week was confined to q barrow swarth, not" over ten feet wide, with which the men are following up the wager course At present the bedrock is scoop-shaped, the lowest point being right under where the water originally ran, and rising quite rapidly on both hands. It is as yet three. or at most four, feet to bedrock, aud a couple of yards of bedrock is easily stripped and shoveled in, and in remarkably short space of time.

RUN-CRAZED ITALIAN
ON SHOOTING RAMPAGE

Scranton, Pa, Aug. Six months
ago Frank Jarro, an Old Forge Ital-
ian, shot his neighbor, William Repp,
because the latter cut down a shade
tree on the dividing line between their
properties. Jarro thought he had
killed Repp and fed to Italy. Learn
ing that the wound was only superb
cial. he returned, and Sunday made
his appearance at Old Forge. In the
interim Rcpp had sued for damages to
his person, secured judgment by de-
fault and had Jarro's property sold at
sheri7's sale. The purchaser, Gem
marc Fagello, was sitting on the front
porch last night, holding his 5-year-old
boy on his lap, when Jarro came along,
crazed with drink, and began firing at
him from a 39-calibre revolver. A
bullet entered the child's abdomen
and another struck the father in the
arm. The child is mortally wounded.
It is reported that Jarro declared
at several saloons that he would kill
whoever he found occupying his
property.

An anonymous physician who has

Belf:
Il received a request to call from
en- old patient who was afraid she was
taking scarlet fever. l responded at
once. The patient was one of two
elderly sisters whom l had attended
for many years. l greeted her in the
sitting room aud noted her pulse while
in the act of shaking hands with her.
BY some witty remark l contrived to
make her laugh, which enabled me to
see her tongue. Then l said in a play
ful tone: If you will get me a glass
l will treat you to some of my patent
soda water she did so. put a tab
let in the water and she drank it.
II want you to know that l take
pride in my original methods. l try
to educate my patients to like, and not
to dread, the visits Of the doctor. In
this case all Of my work had been
done without the direct knowledge Of
the patient and 1 felt very good over it.
So l bade my patient goodby with ex-
treme cheerfulness.
"She looked surprised and then said:
OF course you will come upstairs and
see my sisterY Not today said.
Give her my respects Why she
said, looking mystifod and startled,
how strangely you TALK Strangely?
I echoed 'WhyT Because 1 sent for
you to prescribe for my sister and you

or tariff reduction. 1t will be taken
into consideration. of course. but Il
should not be carried far enough to
select a VIGOROUSLY unfit man over a
ompetent opponent A man who votes
for a candidate for responsible office
whom he would not trust in business,
has a low opinion of his duties as
citizen.
When the two tickets shall have been
placed in the field there will be one
party morally entitled to win; it will be
the party whose hands are clean, and
which presents TO the public with its
endorsement candidates who are
worthy of support. These ideas are
from the primer of citizenship, but they
are fundamental and cannot be sue
cessfully attacked.
There is another idea which is worthy
of attention just now. A party fresh
from an ignoble surrender Of principles
is not entitled to trust There are per-
sons who advocate that the Republican
party should end a question that is
purely partisan, by perpetrating an adj
mitted wrong on the State. This being
accomplished, they would so before
the people asking to again be entrusted
with power. But if the Republican
party cannot come before the people
with clean hands and its honorable
record unimpaired. IL ought to be
swept out of existence. Men attach
themselves to parties, presumably, be-
cause they believe in certain principles
and ideals. and not for the mere sake
Of loot. When their principle is sub
ordinated to individual greed. and can
didates are named for the mere pur-
pose Of protecting individual interests,
a great many men, temporarily at least,
will seek another fold.
This is said by way Of warning and
admonition. We demand that the Re
publican party shall ask for support,
because It shall have proved itself
worthy of tive demand thatits hands
shall be kept clean. We wish to see
its-highest ideals maintained, and the
branch of the party in Delaware made
an example for the organization in the
rest of the country. We do not pro-
pose to help boost lot OF rascally pol,
ticians into office. just because they
call themselves Republicans a man
who wants Office and a party which
hopes for success should first deter
mine to deserve it.
