 Never before did the star of hope beckon the miner and prospector in the great Yukon watershed with more potent fascination than it now holds over him. This particularly is true of the miner who operates on an eXten- sive scale.

Crichton, mining recorderan land and timber agent at Selkirk. He says: "The trappers up the Pelly do not make fortunes individually. As rule, each man gets 100 marten skins winter. The skins last winter sold for S6.90 each at Selkirk. This will barely furnish man a grubstake for the winter. The whites do most of the trapping and are far more successful than the Indians. The natives do not work enough. An energetic white trapper will have traps scattered over a run of 100 or 200 miles, and will keep patrolling the route constantly. He erects cabins along the route in summer, and in the winter uses them for refuge stations. Marten, beaver, mink and fox are the principal fur animals of the region.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which VIII Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

In its earlier stages catarrh IS more OF
a nuisance than a menace to the general
health, but sooner or later. the disease
extends TO the throat. bronchial tubes
and even to the tomach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a pTofuse discharge of mucus
stoppage Of the nostrils. irritation i'll
throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gag
ging and frequent clearings of the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by local douches,
snuffs. salves. etc. often gives tempo
rary relief, but anything like a cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance of the in
hammation from the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
cuirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing catarrh
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upOn the blood ana
mucous membranes only. They cars
hardly be called a secret patent medi-
cine as they are composed Of such val
liable remedies as Blood root, Hydrastin
Red gum and similar cleansing antisep-
ties, which cure by eliminating from the
blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal
poison.
stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large.
pleasant tasting lozenges taken in
ternally, allowing them to dissolve slow
" in the mouth, in this way they reach
the throat, fauces and the entire ALI
mentary canal.
If desired. they may also be dissolved
in water and used as a dOuche, in addi-
ton to the internal use but 1t is not
at all necessary to use a douche; a few
Of them dissolved in the mouth daily
! viii be sufficient. However, when there
IS much ~stoppage Of the nose. a douche
made from these tablets viii give imme-
date relief. but the regular daily use in
ternally of these tablets VIII cure the
whole catarrhal trouble without resort
ing to the inconvenience of a douche.
DR. 2ement states that the Internal
Il eafu3ent for catarrh is RAPIDLY takinS
the place of the old plan Of douchIng
and local application and further says
that probably the best and certainly
the safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. as
no secret IS made of their composition
and ali the really efficient remedies for
catarrh are contained in this tablet.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at 20 cents for full sized packages
Ask our druggist and If he is honest
he will tell you there is no safer. more
pa1atable. more efficient and convenient
remedy on the market.

Leavenworth. Kas., Feb. 10.-The citi-
Eens' meeting last night to nominate a
municipal ticket for the April election
has been postponed. The plan was to
nominate i. NJ. Hacker. ex-mayor. to
head the ticket, but. it is now said he
will not be a candidate. Members of
committees in the citizens movement
learned that Mr.. Hacker would consider
the plan of accepting a citizens nomi-
nation provided it carried the nomina-
ton of the Democratic convention with
st. In other words the citizens nominal
tlon was to be made secondary to that
Of the Democratic party nomination.
The Democratic leaders announced at
ed for their nomination, and that they
intended to place a party ticket in the
field regardless of the action of either
the citizens committees or the Republ-
cans.

Chancellor Strong has issued a brief

presenting his case. The legislature is
inclined to deal literally with the uni
versity and the appropriations viii be

STANDS BY BOWEN.
Representative Mclaughlin Proposes
to Endorse Him.

Representative Mclaughlin Of Cherokee
county is anxious to mix IN international
complications. A few weeks ago he intro
duced a resolution in the house resolving
that England didn't dare to hang Arthur
Lynch, the British subject. who helped the
Beers and is now charged with treason.
Now he wants the legislature to pat Min
lister Bowen on the back and tell him he as
all right for talking sassy to the powers.
He has a resolution of that kim before
the house which reads as follows:
Whereas. The most powerful of the
monarchical nations of Europe have I'M
justihably and unwarrantably attacked the
little republic of Venezuela. They have
sunk her ships; they have ~blockaded her
ports and sealed her custom houses for the
purpose of forcing her, after binding her
hand and foot. to pay certain debts said
to be owed by Venezuela to private citi-
zens Of certain European countries; there

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT

oh Drama, what crimes are committed
In thy namel The King of Detectives
That name would queer a Terry-Irving
production. The play 50 named would
queer a state bank.
About half a dozen people and a few
supes presented an alleged drama at the
Crawford last night, using efforts therein
which were worthy of a better cause The
company had lots of scenery of its own,
which must have cost money. They ali
worked hard. On one occasion the heroine
yelled in a blood curdling manner for five
minutes after she had been saved from
death by the hero. A thrilling mob scene
in one act was enough to bring on spinal
meningitis and won due applause from
the gallery. The whole business was a
gallery play. The dozen or fifteen people
on the first floor positively refused to en-
thuse at any stage of the game.
Among the things affected by the King
of Detectives company were &. balloon, an
air ship, a microscope and an automo-
bile. The balloon or the supes who threw
it through space should have been oiled to
avoid that vile squeak
In advertising the show it was darkly
limited that Mr.. Laurens Hascall. the
King of Detectives won the right to
break onto the stage by assisting in the
chase of the late Harry Tracy. That may
be true enough. but it is not q good ex-
cuse. Numerous yokels, deputy sherins
and newspaper men joined in that chase
and refrained from inf1icting themselves on
the aublic afterWard.
