HOOSIER HYDRAULIC A SUCCESS

Munroe S Lindsay, of the Hoosier hydraulic, the pioneer plant of the dis trict have just ceased operations after what has proved a most profitable sea son. Not so much in the amount of gold extracted, but in proving the rich ness of the creek. From a small space of bedrock several thousand dollars was taken. This cut, barely fifty feet square on the upper end of 12 above, was only opened up to get starter for the oper- ations of the hydraulic lift, and to allow the giant to work on bedrock. MT.
 Lindsay's little daughter picked up one hundred dollars in nuggets from space that could be covered by shovel blade.

 If that's the case, guess.

T'll take out 9 license and put out my sign sAuctioneer. What do you think of that?'
 'tNo, you wouldn't get any business here, said the old settler. Bob Lowe is our duly appointed auctioneer, and when we have anything to sell Bob al ways knocks it down in such genteel manner that we feel compelled to give him another job.
 ''Are there any blacksmith shops in town?' asked the newman. 'Yes, one It is owned and operated by Mir. Bob Lowe. We had another but the fellow quit for some reason or other. l would advise you not to invest too heavily in blacksmith tools in this camp"
 Where IS this man Bob Lowe? ] would like to go into partnership with him. '' 'tYou mean Councilman and Road Supervisor Bob Lowe?" said the old resident "Why, he is in Dawson attending the Yukon council as repre- sentative from this district, and the last we heard from him he was after the ap- pointment of deputy marshall"
 Good day, sir, said the new arriv- al, as he stepped aboard the southbound train for Skagway, this is the first town ever struck that there is only room for Bob Love-"
 After relating the above experience the gentleman to more thoroughly inn press his hearers that he was telling the truth, he produced a copy of the Whitehorse paper, published by Bob Lowe, from which he read the follow ing:

BOB LOVES VILLAGE

A gentleman of some means from the states with an idea of going into busi- ness in some town in the north, return ed recently from Whitehorse and to friend here he gave his experience vis- iting in the rapids city, says the Skag- way Guide.
 He approached an old resident and business man of the place, and after asking him divers questions in regard to the business outlook and future of the town, he confiled to the old resi- denter that he was looking the place O. yer with view of establishing himself ill some kind of businesss1sfld asked the old residenter if, in his opinion, dea- Ter in feed of all kinds would not be success there. ''No, not now" replied his listener. There was time when there was money in it, but Bob Lowe, an old timer and respected citizen, is in that business here and he keeps every thing in that line up to date and his sta bles are. regular rendezvous for that kind of business. Ibeiieve man wonld starve to death that would go into com petition with Bob.
 Well, know something about horses and the general packing and freighting business said the new arrival. 'No, NO! MOI, screamed the citizen, that's worse than the other, and am sure it would mean financial ruin to you. You see, Bob Lowe owns all the drays and pack horses and does all the hauling business here for the merchants; keeps a fresh supply of horses on hand for sale at all times, and is we'll posted on tee horse market; besides he already hrs his regular customers and am sure they would not turn Bob down for stranger. No, if you want to keep the good will of the community, cut out the freighting, packing and wood business. "
 How are the summers here, hot?" asked the new arrival. Gets pretty warm here some days. Wasn't think ing of going into the ice business, were you! Now before you suggest this let me advise you to think seriously on the question, for our old toWnsman, Bob Lowe has always catered to this trade of our town, and while it is not the plesantest thing in the world to be the iceman at times, he has handled the business so successfully and conserva- tiyels, and knows 1t so throughly that he would break the biggest corporation ill the country should they attempt to handle or sell ice here.

A TRINITY OF evils.
Cured by Dr.. Kennedy's New Medicine After
Other Treatment Had Failed.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of Silvara,
Penn, formerly of Roxbury, N. Y, writing
to DR.. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row,
said:
"Your NEW medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
is immense. 1t cured me of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after a lot
of weary dosing with things that did no
good. 1t is record breaker and no mis-
take"
AS in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, COM
plicated with kidney and liver trouble. 1t
is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the kid
neys and liver and at the same time eXpels
uric acid from the blood, that it is such q
reliable remedy for rheumatism and the at
tendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause, therefore, the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.
Write to the Cal-cura Company, Kennedy
Row, Rondout, N. Y, for a free sample
bottle.
Remember: Only one DR.. David Ken
nedy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings
ton NY, and be sure you get his mem and
latest medicine, which is sold only in s 90
bottles.

lisa belle Marsh Dead.

Mrs. Isabelle A. Marsh, who was SER
wing life sentence for the murder of
her husband, William Marsh, died Jan.
20 in the States prison at Windsor. Her
husband died at Mortified in 1896 and
the evidence showed that arsenic had
been administered to him in sufficient
quantity to kill three men. William
G. Buzzell, farm hand, and Mrs. Marsh
were convicted of the murder and sem
fenced to be executed but the sentence
was eventually commuted to life i'm
prsonment. 1t developed during the
trial that the couple had planned to dis
pose of Marsh in order that they might
marry. The cause of the womans death
was diabetes. She was 46 years of age.
