HE'S HERB
With a Ship Load of Newand
 Up-tO-Date Goods

Keelar arrived on the Humboldt and has brought the finest selected stock of goods that has ever been brought to Alaska. During his absence he visited all of the principal factory's in the east and has selected with great care the finest and best to be had. Ith has crowd ed every inch of space to display the new goods.
 The old reliable iewelry house IS to- day a palace of glittering splendor.
 The greatest stock of watches, dia- monds. clocks, silverware, cutlery, &c., ever brought to Skagway.
 This stock was bought for spot cash which means much for the consumer as they can be sold for less money than they could possibly be sold by dealers who buy in small quantities from the iobber.
 Our watch repairing and optical de- partment is crowded with work, which speaks volumns for itself in regard to workmanship and our ability to please the people.

 Look well to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of future results. Anyone with a back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from any kidney ills, will find in the following evidence proof that relief and cure is pear at hand:
 James l. Scanlon, street car con- duct0r in the employ of the Seattle Electric Co.,, oi l6l0 Iesler way. Seat te. Wash, says; At intervals for over three years have been annoyed with troubles from the kidneys, and suffered from severe pain in the small of my back. ! rai'rOaded for years in the East on the Michigan southern K. R., running between Detroit and Toledo, and since coming here SIX years ago ] have been in the employ of the Seat tle Electric Co. If the constant skak- ing and iarring of the the cars did not bring on the trouble, it probably ag- grayated it. Be that as it may, during attacks ] noticed that ] was always worse f contracted a cold which set- tied iu my kidneys and often kept me fu continual misery. Through very convincing ad that J saw in one of our Seattle papers ] was induced t0 try Deans Kidney Pills. When l com ueuced the treatment l was in such pain across the small of my back every every morning when ! got out of bed that ! could scarcely stand it and if ] stopped or bent mthiukingly can only describe the twinges as eXcruciating.
