HAPPENINGS.
Man with No Stomach Dies in Seymour
Workman in Zinc Mill Crushed to
Death-Boy Killed for Calling Names
-~Hurt in Panic.

Max Siegl of Seymour, who has lived
for nearly two years practically without
stomach which was removed, except
a small portion, in two operations, is
dead. A brother died two years ago at
ter one similar operation, living about
six months after his stomach was almost
entirely removed. The funeral of Siegl
was held from the Catholic church In
Seymour. Nearly two years ago Siegl
became afflicted with cancer of the stom-
|ach, and was sent to Milwaukee for
treatment after hope for his recovery was
given up. physicians then agreed that
ais life might be saved by an operation,
and Siegl agreed to this, stating thai he
believed he could afford to take the one
slim chance for his life. The operation
was performed, almost the entire stom-
Oh being removed. In a short time Siegl
was sent home, almost a well man.,
though weak. He took on flesh rapidly.
Two months ago, however, he began to
fail again, and went to Milwaukee. DIR.
Levings, after an examination and coll
sultation, decided that the old trouble
had returned, and it was agreed upon
between all concerned that the portion
of the stomach still remaining was to be
removed. He leaves widow, fourteen
children, eleven brothers and two sisters.

strove bravely to make the best of ii.
He had none of that grand religious con-
ISOLATION which some people have (espe-

happiness perhaps too much upon his
own old hearthstone. His mind was not
an extraordinary one, and his soul was
old-fas hioned
Moreover, his sister Joan came up-a
truly pious and devoted woman. the
widow of an Oxford wine merchant. Mrs
hermitage loved her niece SO deeply that

do it for me. But, Worth, you can wres-

so much more of man"
Being exhorted thus. the Squire did his
best to wrestle. Not that any words of
hers could carry now their former
weight; for if he had no daughter left,
what good was money left to her? The
Squire did not want his sisters money
for himself at al. Indeed he would
rather be without it. Dirty money, won
by trade-but still it had been his duty
always to try to get it for his daughter.
And this is worth a word or two.
At the Oxford Bank, and among the
lawyers, 1t had been well-known thing
that old Fermi'age had not died with
less than f150,v00 behind him. Ever
in Oxford there never had been a man
so illustrious for port wine. ''Fortiter
cccupa portum" was the motto over the
door to his vaults, and he fortified port
impregnably. Therefore he supplied all
the common room cellars, and among the
undergraduates his name was surety for
another glass. And there really was a
port wine basis; so that nobody died of
him.
Mr.. hermitage went on, and hit his
mark continually; and his mark was that
bulls eye of this golden age, a yellow
imprint of dragon. So many of these
came pouring in, that he kept them In
bottles sealed, and left to mature, and ac-

he had bottled half pipe of these, and

and the two executors gave him nothing
but blame for his behavior People in
Holiwell said that these two took
dozen battles of guineas between them,

that he was dead, and every man seeing
his funeral, praised him.

Of rich claims on Bonanza and Edo
RADIO creeks, on which were made the
strikes" that startled the world a few
years ago, have worked out a system
of gathering their golden dividends
which involves little more than an en-
joyable summer outing. 1t is as easy
as going to the races, only the Klon-
dixie brings back the gold 1t is hard
ly more trouble than clipping coupons
from gilt-edged bonds.
These owners of bonanza claims pass
the winter in 1.-THE States" California
claiming most of them. In the spring
they make up party of friends or
relatives and by easy stages go into
Dawson for the Cleanup" Large
ocean steamships carry them to Skag
way and the White Pass and Yukon
railway spans the gap to White Horse
rapids, where river steamboats, are
waiting, and in two or three days they
scurry down the Yukon to Dawson.
The cabins on the creeks have been
cleaned and well stocked against the
coming of the owner and his party.
When he arrives the water is turned
into the huge sluices and the work of
washing out the gravel mined during
the winter begins The women of the
party spend hours alongside the sluices,
for gathering the Yukon gold has a pc
culiar fascination. If they tire of this
novelty there are stages to take them

again next year. | was in Dawson just
four weeks and attended fourteen
balls. Half the men 1 met were col
lege graduates and all wore evening
clothes, even to dinner parties. No
dress in woman's wardrobe is too
fine for Dawson, but even a fright of a
woman is sure of good time, for the
men are in such majority.
THE most striking celebration which
occurred in the course of my visit was
the trip to the dome, great hill back
of Dawson, on June 81, the longest
day of the year. The sun is in view
for twenty-four hours from the dome,
while in the Yukon valley it disap-
pears for couple of hours. More
than a thousand of us made the trip
to bask in midnight sunshine

weeks, and when it is all over the gold
in small sacks is hauled into Dawson.
The owner pays the crown royalty to
the authorities, settles with his en-
ployes and expresses the rest to his
bank in San Francisco or Seattle. He
has the choice of two routes home
the way he came, or down the Yukon
to Boring sea and thence to the States
by long ocean voyage. Either way
there is absolute comfort
Such is the evolution of the gold
camp that once suffered famine and
scurvy, and to which relief was sent
by dog teams over the frozen snow
fields. Dawson now boasts electric
light. automobiles and no less than
1900 bicycles. 1t is as gay socially in
winter as in summer, when the clean

lively.
