Lawton says that work on the wire less telegraph station is delayed from the fact that the long pole needed fol the system has not as yet arrived. IL is expected, however, this fall, and those in charge of the work claim that it will be completed before winter set: in.
 Steamer Hermann was expected tC reach St. Michael Tuesday evening from Dawson, and the Louise is expect ed some time this week from the same place. The Louise will be the last steamer to come down the river this fall. The Hermann, it was reported had about 70 passengers, and the Saddle was held to await the Hermann's arri val.

supply for the country without depict ing the number now in the various herds. The missionary representative will assist the native reindeer owners in disposing of their meat, and several times when I have received orders for meat have let the boys fill the order so that they could get the wherewithal to buy their flour and other supplies.
 It is my purpose to sell enough of the mission deer to furnish the food and clothing for all the mission apprentices without calling on the missionary as- sociation for aid from the outside. This can be easily done by putting the meat on the market, and it is now my inten- tion to see that the people of Nome are supplied with fresh meat all winter.
 am not familiar with the methods of the government in regard to the management of their various herds, but l imagine they are similar to mine. If such is the case, much of the criti- cism we have heard is unjust for it will require but few years to make the Eskimo self-supporting and pros porous race.
 Our deer came from the government in the first place, and other missions have received deer which they handle on some similar plan to mine, so that the natives in various parts of the country are being benefited.
 The government made regulation which gives the natives the monopoly of the reindeer. It is that no female deer can be sold to anyone but the gov ernment. In that way white men are prevented from going into the deer farm business in opposition to the Es- kimo.
 I had letter from man outside who wanted to buy small herd and go into the business here for profit. He argued that he was a citizen of the United States, and as such he thought he ought to have as good a claim on the government as the ''heathen" Es- kimo. It appears to me, however, that the government, in introducing the reindeer into the country, did it as an act of benefit to the natives. The only way in which white man can, or at least I believe the only way he can get a herd is to import them himself, and with the strict regulations of the Rus sian government in regard to exporting deer from Siberia, am of the opinion he would find it difficult.
 Hoping by this statement of the facts regarding the Cape Prince of Wales herd, the largest in Alaska, to change the popular opinion that the reindeer is useless here, and promising to write you another letter about the reindeer as beast of burden, remain
 Yours sincerely,

WHAT IS CATARRH?
Hyomei Cures this Common and Disagreeab1e
Disease.
Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the germs
of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane, en-
tiers the blood with the oxygen and
kills the germs present there, effectu-
ally driving this disease from the sys-
tenn.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, and comprises an inhaler, a
bottle of Hyomei and a dropper. The
inhaler will last a lifetime; and addi-
tional bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for soc.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous MEM
brane of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes or tissues of the lungs:
Offensive breath, dryness of the
nose, pain across the eyes, pain in
back of the head, pain in front of the
head, tendency to take cold, burning
pain in the throat, hawking to clear
the throat, pain in the chest, a cough,
stitch in side, losing of flesh. variable
appetite, low spirited at times, rails
ing of frOthy mucous, eXpectorating
yellow matter, difficulty in breathing,
frequent sneezing, huskiness of voice,
discharge from the nose, stoppage of
the nose at night, aching of the body,
droppings in the throat, mouth open
while sleeping, tickling back of the
palate, formation of crusts in the
nose, dryness of the throat in the
morning, loss of strength, spasms of
coughing, cough short and hacking,
cough worse nights and mornings,
loss in vital force, a feeling of tight
ness across the upper part of the
chest.
Hyomei will destroy activity of all
catarrhal germs in the respiratory or
gans, and in few weeks the cure will
be complete.
This is strong statement, but L.
H. Thomas emphasizes it by agreeing
to refund your money if Hyomei does
not cure.

questions or quibblings when you go
to get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh Is due
to. the presence of germs in the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hyo-
mel treatment kills the catarrh germs
even in the minutest air cells, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous MEM
brane and makes complete and last
ing cures in cases that have resisted
the usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stOm-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The outfit costs
but 81 and consists of an inhaler
which will last a lifetime and suffi-
cient Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment. Additional bottles of Hyomei
can be procured for so cents.
L. H. Thomas gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
he sells to refund the money if it
does not cure. There is no risk what
ever to the purchaser of Hyomei.

ONLY GUARANTEED CURE
For Catarrh-HyomeI Costs You Nothing II
1t Fails Says T. II. Thomas.


1t Fails Says t. H. Thomas.
Among the many medicines upon
the market that claim to cure -catarrh
none but Hyomei has enough faith in
its own merit to be willing to refund
the money if it does not cure.
This remarkable remedy for catarrh
kills the microbes and the germs of
the disease, and from its introduction
has been sold under a positive guar
antee to return the money to- all dis
satisfied customers.
T. H. Thomas has sold a greatmany
Hyomei outfits in the last few years,
and he stands ready to refund the
price to anyone who has not been
helped by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
81, and comprises an inhaler, bottle
of Hyomei and a dropper. The in
haler will last lifetime, and addi-
tional bottles of HyOmei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents.
Breathe Hyomei for few minutes
four times a day, and your catarrh
will grow better from the first days
use, and will be completely cured in
a short time.
Do not try to cure catarrh with or
binary stomach medicines. Breathe
the healing Hyomei, which goes to
every part of the air passages and
respiratory organs, killing the catarrh
germs and preventing their growth.
1t is the only treatment for catarrh
where you can get your money back
from a local dealer in case it does not
help.

NOTED FINANCIER's NERVE
Accidents In Which William L. En-
kins Displayed Great FOrtitude.

kins Displayed Great FOrtitude.
The late William L. ElkinS of Phila-
! delphia, millionaire traction magnate
and financier, was a great judge and
admirer of horSef1esh and a superb rid
er, says the Philadelphia Press. Three
times horses had nearly been the
death of him. When his country resi-
dence was at Cold Spring, Pa, some
years ago he was accustomed to drive
out there from Philadelphia after office
| hours. On one occasion his horse ran
away, threw him out of his carriage,
and he was left stunned and bleeding
on the roadside.
Mr.. Elkins was always noted for the
| possession of great nerve and reSolu-
| ton. Upon this occasion when he re-
covered from the shock he determined
to walk straight home, two miles dis
! tant, although there were a number Of
| farmhouses near the road intervening.
Not only this, but, although in great
pain, he picked up number of articles
which had dropped from the carriage
and carried them with him,
Upon his arrival it was found that
his shoulder had been dislocated, four
ribs had been broken and that he had
sustained other injuries. When the
surgeon was about to administer anRs-
thetics he declined to have the drug
used and submitted without groan to
the painful series of operations.
His third accident was the result of
horses fright. He was elected in 1879
by city councils of Philadelphia as a d.
oR oil
company.
Soon after his election by councils he
paid visit, in company with Presi-
dent Scott and other directors, to
Grand Rapids. The party was being
driven in carriages to the station.
With Mr.. Elkins were Mr.. Thaw and
Mr.. Parker Shortridge, director of the
company. The horses became fright
ened and began to run. Mr.. Thaw
jumped out and escaped uninjured.
Mr.. Elkins was thrown violently into
the road as the horses made a wild
dash around bend. He fell with one
of his legs doubled under him, with the
weight of his heavy body upon it. The
result was compound fracture of the
hip bone.
In connection with this curious acct
dent Mr.. Elkins displayed two marked
traits of his character-great resolu-
ton and fortitude and his love of
home. He asked to be sent to his
wife at Philadelphia at once. The sur
geon who had set the broken limb in
plaster cast said that the journey
would probably kill him, but he in
sisted, and Colonel Scott had a special
car prepared for him. When his son.
George w. Elkins, met him at the old
Pennsylvania railroad station at Thir-
ty-second and Market streets he was
in low condition. At that time Mar
ket street was paved with cobble. The
journey to the house over these rough
stones proved to be the most trying of
the entire trip from Grand Rapids, but
once at home he said that he felt re-
paid for all that he had undertaken.
