Fresh Fabrics for ShITt-Waist Suits,
New Millinery and other
Efnery.

Shirt-waist suits during the coming
season will be stylish and somewhat
elaborate affairs, although maintain
ing sufficient simplicity to make
them eminently suitable for street,
business and house wear.
Madras is not as popular for wo-
mems shirts as it formerly was. The
fad seems to be for linen, and it must
be considered that linen wears bet
ter and has more style about 1t, be-
sides looking better than madras.
Rough and smooth white straw
hats are to be trimmed with flowers
and bows of ribbon and are worn
with dark velvet gowns or with the
cloth gowns that are trimmed with
white as we'll as with the white cloth
costumes.
In wash fabrics and silks there Is a
general tendency in waists of all
classes and In shirt-waist suits to
have q wristband, no matter how
elaborate the sleeve, and the wrist
band is always trimmed and fastens
in many pretty styles in points,
squares or straps, says an authority
on fashions.
Light blue linen gowns are made
up in styles too fancy to be charac-
terized as shirt-waist suits. Some OF
them have large, oval inserts OF
handsome lace around which are
closely scattered a wide, irregular
border of thick French knots. These
pieces are inset all around the skirt,
in the waist and sleeves and the eff
feet is perfectly lovely.
Pongee trimmed with red Paris
rings and little red buttons, with or
without pendants, make some OF the
most charming spring and summer
suits.
Waists will be open in front or at
the side, and the fancy for the sort
that buttoned i'll the back and taxed
the patience, the buttonholes and the
strength of the materials has gone
to sleep with last summers rose
leaves.
Beautiful foulard and pongee suits
are made with narrow panels down
each seam. The Monte Carlo style
trimmed with groups of little buttons
and pendants, with braid or piping,
Is very fashionable in spring silks,
linens and muslins.
Epaulet effects are new and stylish
in all sorts of waists and even in lace
collars. The shoulder pieces are very
smart and it must be confessed they
are graceful. The most popular ones
are those where the epaulets and
woke are cut from one piece and
these give a very charming grace to
the figure.
Sleeves will be trimmed at the top
as well as at the bottom, only the
trimming at the top will be small
and fitted and that at the bottom full
and baggy. The paquin model does
not bag as much as some do and
with its graceful OVERWHELMING
cuff. is a beautiful pattern Of sleeve.
Paquin sleeves are particularly styl-
ish on coats and wraps and fine suits.
On wool and silk suits the Sara
MAYER cuff is a model much copied
in America and it must be admitted
that this is one of the prettiest as
we'll as one of the most popular OF
the Partisan cuffs.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing a load OF misery
and wrctchedness that is terrible to think
Of.
Headaches as rule, result from dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion arc exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debitated, the whole nervous system is weak
cned, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
derangcd, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
ten must be strengthened and vitalzed.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
fccbcness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great rcconstuctant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
OF her release from suffering as follows:-
81 have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for a number of years. About
every week would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
I do not have any more headaches. | feel

BOOHOO FEVER IN HAWAII.
Strange AiIment Returns to the Is
lands After an Absence OF
Twenty Years.

"Boo-hoo" fever has made its APP
pearance in Hawaii again, after an alb
sence of nearly 20 years, says a San.
Francisco report. Medical men call it
the "dengue" fever, or a mild form OF
Panama fever. 1t is not dangerous,
only disagreeable, and affects the
white people more than the natives.
In the olden days it used to be said that
nobody could claim to be resident OF
Hawaii until he had experienced an
attack of "boohoo." It's symptoms are
somewhat like those of the grip-a
racking pain in the small Of the back.
high fever and pains in all the bones,
1t is accompanied by rash and lasts
for a week or ten days. Teachers and
pupils in the public schools have sue
cumbed to the disease in large num-
bers, and even the doctors have not
been exempt. Another name for the
sickness is "breakbone" fever, be-
cause the pains and aches in the
bones makes the patient feel as II their
bones would break. The name boo
hoo" was given to the fever because
those who had 1t were always ready
to cry. The mosquito is a great dis
tr1butor of the sickness.

BUSINESS IN SNUFF.
Facts and Figures Which Go to show
That There Are Many
Buyers.

The general impression is that there
has been a great decline in the use of
snuff Snuff boxes are no longer in evil
dence in fashionable society. In the
cities not one man in 10000 takes snuff.
In the country districts Of the north
not one man in a township is addicted
to the use of snuff. In the rural dis
tricts of Kentucky and Tennessee less
is used than before the civil war.
Yet the American Snuff company,
which controls 95 per cent. of the prod
uct in the United States, reports net
earnings for last year of 81 ,739,617 and
pays dividends of $OO5O42. After pay
ing dividends. the company, with as
sets of $25,315,OOO, has a surplus of
S1,442.84S. This would indicate heavy
business in snuff, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
There were manufactured in the
United States in 1876 $4,000 pounds
of snuff: in 1902 there were manufac-
tured 16SCO,OOO pounds. In other
words. five times as much snuff was
made in this country last year as Is
years ago. Who buys it; who uses it?
The statistics Of manufacture do not
answer these questions. OF the 1885,
81 pounds Of snuff manufactured in
the United States in the census year
of 1900 New Jersey produced ASP, 573
pounds, Pennsylvania 3.23S,541 pounds,
Tennessee 1885,, 927 pounds, Maryland
1.o49.228 pounds, Illinois 707,s15
pounds, Virginia 64O.O75 pounds. The
people OF none of these states, how
ever. were heavy consumers Of snuff.
Of the five kinds of snuff manufac-
tured that year, the greater part Of
the Scotch grade went to Germany
and % the whites and negroes in Louis
lana. Arkansas, Texas and Indian ter
ritory. Sweet snuff, used for dipping,
found heaviest sale in North and South
Carolina.
OF Maccaboy snuff the largest sales
were in New England, and Rappee
snuff found many buyers in the North
western states, though most Of it went
abroad, But wherever it was sold it is
certain that we are manufacturing
more snuff than ever before and find
ing a ready market for it.

OWL FOUGHT ITSELF.
Sample of the Wonderful storleS
That Brighten Life In
Susquehnnna.

Story telling is favorite pastime
these winter nights in the comfort
able sitting-room of one of the tav-
ems in Susquehanna. Many of the
warns spun are wonders. Here is
sample.
As Zach Chandler, a Deep Hollow
woodchopper, was out on Turks hill
one dav last fall in search of game,
he saw what he supposed to be two
birds sitting upon the limb of red
poplar tree. Crouching and creeping
ahead. he hid behind stump, when
he say the objects above him were
evidently two white owls. The Owls
were fighting savagely for the pos
session of a ground-mouse, which
they had captured in an adjoining
field.
The struggle was lively and noisy.
For a moment the mouse could be
seen in the bill of one bird, then IN
the claws of the other. There were
loud boots and shrieks and feathers
fell from the tree into the under
brush. Fearing that the game would
fly away and escape, Chandler fired
at the object and it came tumbling
down.
Chandler rushed forward and was
amazed to find but one owl, yet IL
had two heads and four legs and feet.
There was only one body. The TWO
heads had been fighting for the pos
session of the mouse.
The freak bird was badly riddieo
by shot, says a Susquehanna special
to the New York World, but Chandler
had sense enough to know that ne
had a valuable curiosity, and ne
worked faithfully to save it, but 1t
gave up the ghost the next day one
head appeared to be lifeless half an
hour before the other one died.

REPORTED
 DISCOVERY
Of Vast Riches in the PeIIy River Country--Indian Brings
 f'iii the News. r .E7

Dawson, July S.-A report comes from Selkirk that an Indian has just reached there from about sixty miles up the Pelly river with some small nuggets worth about $2 each. When asked if there were others where he had picked up the ones he brought he replied, "Too many small ones," leav- ing the impression that coarse gold was lying around in profusion. Being an Indian story few people took much stock in it.
 However Joe Cote and another man immediately came to Dawson, bought an outfit and took quiet sneak up the Pelly to the place where the Indian said he had found the gold. They are expected back to Selkirk any day and if they confirm the Indians story there will be a stampede to the section where gold is reported to be so plentiful.

ALASKA FOR
 ALASKANS
Comments by a Contemporary Showing That The Nugget
 Position is Correct.

| The following sensible comment is made by the Douglas Island News, and is being verified in the experience of every citizen of Alaska.
 In no other land, perhaps, is the prosperity of the country, generally, so much dependent upon the towns as in Alaska. It has here resolved itself to the one thing; when the towns are prosperous, the country is going ahead. Every business man in Alaska, with so few exceptions that they amount to nothing, is more or less interested in some mining venture, and all spare cash is devoted to grubstaking pros pectors and developing claims. Now when everything is done or takes place towns, destroys trade and causes lack of confidence among business men, each individual feels that, to be pre- pared for an emergency, he must keep his earnings in his pocket. And the prospector is not grubstaked, the small claim is not developed, the extra la- borer seeks some other field, and the progressive movement is brought to a sudden halt. When q change of our ''rulers" can bring these things about, when men who have no interest in the country and no knowledge of condi- tions are, and can be, sent up here as rulers, " it is indeed time that all good citizens rise in their might and put an end once and for all to the fubdubary business. A settled policy is all right, but uncertainty is the sand that crum- bles from beneath the strongest busi- ness foundations.

THE RAILROAD
 BEING BUILT
The Council City and Solomon River Railroad Making
 Good Progress.

The Council City and Solomon River R. R. Co. has already built five miles of road and is running trains. The graders are now at work beyond the mouth of Shovel creek. A large crew of men are at work and if the camp caH be arranged this will be increased to TOO or 750 The most difficult part of the work has already been done-ths rest of the work being comparatively simple. The crossing of the tundra was not nearly as difficult as was ex- pected-the gravel packs easily and makes solid road bed. The Council City and Solomon River Railroad is practically an assured fact and Nomites may hope at no distant day to be con nected by rail with Council and Sol omon.

Moore Elmer has been crowding the work with all possible speed and at the same time having everything done well. The success of the machine after it's starting demonstrates that he knows his business. -,-,.
 "The dredger has rifles and hoppers galore. The first string of rifles catches more gold than any hand boxes could possibly catch, the next do better still by a kind of cross narrowing, as it were, and the last is on the principle of a most improved long tom. The dredger saves even the flour gold. and lets never suspicion of color escape. The flour gold is saved by the use of compounds based on the principles of amalgamation.r -r ..
 "The capacity of the machine is ,5OC cubic yards of dirt daily. It is now handling over l,000 yards. After the first excavation is made the dredgel cuts it's own channel. It takes a sort of furrow across the claims and comes back to the starting point at the lower line to take the next slice of the pay. streak, and keeps this up for season or two until the whole claim is worked.
 "There are at least three years solid work ahead of the dredger on No. below, discovery and No. l above. Be- fore that time shall have passed the same company will have other dredgers in the country. ...-..

TRIP TO SIBERIA
tCoNTINUED FROM FIRST PACED

l for trip along the Siberian coast.
 At 9 o'clock Sunday night, Aug. ?, we took up our anchor at Nome and proceeded north, stopping at Port Clarence and Big Diomede island, at which latter place landing was made. Owing to it being foggy and disagree able weather, we laid there until morn ing of Tuesday the 4th going across to 1 East Cape and around to Whalen, a l large native settlement on the north side of the Cape, where we all went ashore and investigated the mode of native life.
 Early Wednesday morning the an chor was taken up and we steamed around the cape to East Cape station the most northern trading post of this company, which we found to be large and commodious and well stocked sta tion under the command of Mr. A. Lippy. From the station several trips were made into the interior. one of especial interest, to the recently dis covered goldfelds almost seven miles from the post, where gold has been found in both placer and quartz, of which the writer saw specimens. From here run was made to St. l Lawrence bay where St. Nicholas, the largest station of the company is located. This beautiful landlocked harbor has been the scene of many historic events It was here that the Mckay telegraph station was established in the early 70's and the U, s. steamer Rogers wintered here after her mem. orable cruise for the exploring steamer Jeanette commanded by Lieut.. Berry in 1881. The Rogers, as the reader may recolect, was buried in the early spring of 1882 at St. Lawrence bay
 Here the party were entertained at lunch by Count Podhorski. who is the Russian representative of the company, together with their engineer who is making a geological survey of the pen. insula. Here reports were received of extensive quartz veins located about 20 miles away, and also at nearer points This quartz is gold-bearing and free milling, which makes it very valuable
 This station is an ideal one. During the winter of l9O2-3 many miners re- ceived their supplies from this station Here, also, have been accumulated great quantities of ivory and furs, and q large herd of reindeer.
 We left this beautiful harbor at 4. 3( p.m., and shaped our course for Nome arriving Friday, August ', after 6 very interesting cruise of four days here one of the party take the first boa, to Seattle. The party consisted of Mir Ferdinand N. Peck, Mr. Clarence Peck MT. c. F. Eastman, of Chicago, ant Mir. r. A. Brown, of Duluth, Mir. w T. Perkins of the Northwestern Com mercial company, and MT. and Mrs Baber, who have had charge of tho station at St. Nicholas for the pas year.

DREDCERS AT DAWSON Handle 1000 Cubic Yards of Dirt DaiIy...Three Years Work
 on Two Claims.

Dredging is becoming more popular throughout this section and the follow ing item taken from the Bonanza CIT Record, shows that the same is true in that region:
 "The big dredger at 1 below, Bon- anza, started operating Wednesday. It worked like charm from the first and is now taking out pay dirt with great rapidity.
 "This queer machine was removed this spring from 42 below and the parts placed on the ground just on the week of the spring breakup. There was an immense amount of work attendant upon the removal large force of men has been at it ever since. Teams and scrapers were used to excavate the place for the huge p0ntoons and lately the launching took place. Manager J.
