John Johnson, Famous In Black Hills,
Strikes It Rich in Alaska.
From Alaska comes the news that
John Johnston famous in the history
of the Black Hills is slated to become
equally so il the present day doings
of the northern gold country.
It was this man Johnston who head
ed n of the first expeditions into the
Black Hills in 1876. 1t was known as
the Centennial expedition because Of
the year, and started from Ames. Iowa,
all of the members of the party, with
one exception, being natives OF that
town. After thrilling experiences they
arrived, six in all, in the Black Hills,
and finally founded the nov we'll
known city Of Spearfish. Johnston,
who was the principal mover in the
enterprise throughout, had also the
distinction of being one OF the found
ers of the first newspaper in Spear
fish, and for a number Of years was
identified with numerous mining and
business enterprises.
Now he has become a millionaire.
having Struck it rich in Alaska, and
he has jumped into public notice be-
cause Of a suit which he has just
brought against the Treadwell Mining
company, n Of the richest and most
profitable mines in North America.
This action involves the possession OF
a strip of land which the company
thought it owned, but which, John
SOL alleges, was never properly To-
Gated. He has located the strip and
applied for a patent. This bit of land
is valuable, lying between some of the
most productive of the company's
claims and comprising the grounds for
the oil tanks, and also part of the
right of way for the company's rail-
road, as we'll as one OF their mill in
t~erests, which he has disposed Of at
a good figure, and he will return to
the Hills this summer.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies Have Poor Compilations
from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. l had been
drinking it for a long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
Il formerly had as fine a complex.
ion as m could ask for.
when l became convinced that cot.
fee was the cause OF my trouble, I
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as l made it well, ac-
cording to directions, l liked it very
much, and have since that time used
1t In place of coffee.
Il am thankful to say l am not ner-
vous any more, as l was when | was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance Of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber OF
digestion known. Almost n woman
can have a fair complexion il she will
leave of coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
to rebuild the nervous system and
when that Is In good condition, one
can depend upon a good complexion
. well as q good healthy body.

PREFERS RANGING

.nHERE is young woman at Herr Fls-

Il who has an unusual story. Most
girls go upon the stage because they are
attracted there by the glamour of the foot
lights because they have friends In tine
business" or because their parents be-
fore them have been players. Not so with
Miss Pearl Jardiniere. She is on the stage
because she was driven there by combi-
nation of circumstances entirely outside
of her volition Her ambition is to be
ranchwoman.
1t probably is true that If Miss Jardl-
Mere could realize her wish she would
find the culture of alfalfa less attractive
in reality than in her imagination; the
breeding of stock less amusing than daily
rehearsals, and even the cultivation OF an
orange grove more stupid than dancing
and singing She doesn't think so, how
ever, and that Is the queer part OF IT. Tor
Miss Jardiniere is still young

to nearly sixty members, will be made
up of a finer body of musicians than
has ever been sent on tour with single
production, not even excepting Mr. Saw
ages "Parsifal' orchestra.
New artists of continental fame have
been engaged, to sing the leading roles
Several of these promise to furnish a
vocal surprise when they appear in this
country. In addition to the favorite
Rena Vivienen from Milan and pretty
Dora de Fillipe from Paris, two new
singers for the role of Butterfly will add
flash of brilliance whenever they are
in the cast. One of them, Miss Febea
Strakosch, is a niece of Adelina Patti,
with a record at Convent Garden, Stock
holm, Milan. Naples. Madrid and other
continental cities where she has been n
royal favorite In the great grand opera
roles.
Another is Betty Wolff without doubt

to rank among the leading prima donnas
Miss Wolff is only % years old, daugh-
ter of the chief Justice at Frankfurt-on-
Main. To secure her release from the
Stadt theater at Mainz Mr. Savage was
compelled to pay handsomely
With four such talented artists. Mr.
Savage will be able to give eight per-,
formances weekly when Madame Butter
fly" starts on its southern and western
tour.
For the role of Suzuki, Butterfly's maid,
who is on the stage for even greater
part of the three acts than the Japanese
heroine, Mr.. Savage has re-engaged Har-
riet Behnee from Berlin and Ethel Hous-
ton from Paris These two finished sing
ers, both endowed with rich, velvety
contralto voices, won fine artistic tri-
umphs last season and the opportunity
to hear them will be welcome news to
all who are looking forward to enjoying
the fascinating opera again.
Probably the finest treat Mr.. Savage
has to offer in his new company will be
two brilliant tenors contracts with whom
are now on the way to Paris for sig
natures The release of one has just been
purchased from one of the finest royal
opera companies on the continent and
the other is especially selected by Jean
de Reszke.
Ottley Cranston, an English singer who
was brought to this country for the Eng
fish version of "Parsifal" and retained
for the role of Wotan In Mr. Savages
production of THE Valkyrie," will re-
turn for the part of Sharpless, in which
he will alternate with Thomas d. Rich
ards of last years company.
Walter Rothwell, the magnetic conduct
or from Vienna. who has been assisting
in organizing the company will sail for
