ABOUT YUKON GOVERNMENT.
Since Famous Gold Camp Was Organ
lied 1t Has Produced S1oo,0o0,o0o of
the Precious Yellow Metal.

Ten years ago, on September 5, the
first territorial government of the Yu-
kon Territory was formally installed in
office at Dawson, the capital of the
Yukon. Governor William Ogilvie, the
first commissioner, with seventeen as
sistants, arrived ON that day from
White Horse by the steamer Ora and
Immediately established temporary
headquarters in big log cabin build
ing that had been erected for the pur-
pose.
Since that time the famous Klondike
district and adjoining creeks have pro-
duced a total of over $100,000,000 in
gold, all of which has gene into the
world s Golfers and is being used in the
conduct of the world s business. 1t is
to properly celebrate this fact and
bring about further development of the
gold resources of the Yukon and Alaska
that the Alaska Yukon-Paciic exposi-
ton is being held at Seattle next sum
mer. Gold has done much for the
world, and this is the first time that
an exposition has been held to give it
honor.
The Yukon territory is still great
gold producer.
Governor Ogilvie is still in the Yu-
kon, now engaged in dredging. He is
one of the enthusiastic workers for the
exposition and will be present as will
many others of the first government.

HE ONCE SHOT AT GU1TEAU.
Bill - Jones Stays Employe With
Buckshot-Deed Recalls sensa-
tional Act of Years Ago.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Noted for bsv.
ing attempted to avenge the death Of
President Garfield by shooting at
Guiteau, the assassin, William Jones'
locally known as "Bin" Jones. the
avenger, a farmer, tonight shot and
killed John A. Mcpherson of Detroit ar
Bates farm, near Brookland, on the out
skirts of this city.
The weapon used was a shotgun and
Mcpherson breast was riddled with
bullets. An unloaded rifle was found
lying beside the body. The shotgun was
found on the porch of Jones house.
Jones was arrested shortly after the
killing and brought to this city and
lodged in Jail.
Mrs. Jones, who is said to have been
an eyewitness to the killing, has not
been found. Jones admitted to Coroner
Hewitt that he shot Mcpherson, but
declares he acted in self-defense. The
police have learned, it is said, that the
two men had quarreled over the pos
session of a horse.
Mcpherson, who was 20 years old,
had been working on Jones farm since
he was discharged from the United
States marine corps on July "a.
When Jones Shot at Guiteau.
Several days following upon Presi-
dent Garfield IS death Guiteau was taken
to court for a preliminary hearing and
1t was while he was being returned to
jail under charge of District Marshal
Corkhill that Jones attempted to shoot
nm. Jones was riding a spirited horse
lie followed the prisoner from the
courthouse to within several blocks of
the Jail, when he suddenly spurred his
horse, darted through the crowd, drew
revolver and fred into the prison van.
Guiteau, who was sitting near the door,
caught glimpse of Jones as he drew
the weapon, and lodged. The bullet sped
over his head and lodged in the SIDE
of the wagon. Jones, believing he had
killed Guiteau, dug his spurs into dis
horse s side and escaped.
He was captured shortly afterwaro'
however, near Fredericksburg, Va. Jones
was tried and acquitted.

CHAPTER V.

Walter did not anticipate very pleas
ant walk with Joshua. The little he had
seen of that young man did not prepos-
sess him in his favor. However, having
no other way of spending his time, he
had no objection to the walk.
That's the old mans store just across
the street." said Joshua, as they emerged
from the house.
"Your fathers"
"Of course. Don't you see the name on
tho sign7" Walter did see it, but never
having been accustomed to speak of his
own father as 'the old man." he was not
quite sure he apprehended Joshua's mean
ing.
you were an only child, weren't you ?"
said Joshua.
YES" said Walter, soberly.
80 am l." said Joshua; adding, com
placently, Between you and l, the old
man has laid up quite a snug sum. Of
course, It'll all come to me some day"
81 am glad to hear It," said Walter,
wondering that Joshua should have made
such a communication to a comparative
stranger.
ITO hear the old man talk" pursued
Joshua, you'd think he was awful poor.
He's stingy enough about everything in
the house. There isn't family in town
that don't live better than we do"
Il thought we had very good supper"
said Walter, who experienced not little
disgust at Joshua's charges against his
father.
That was because you were with us.
The old man laid himself out for the oc-
casion. It's the first decent supper I've
eaten at home since the Sewing Circle met
at our house three years ago."
Though these communications did not
nise Joshua In the estimation of Walter,
the latter could not help thinking that
there was probably some foundation for
what was said and the prejudice against
Mr.. Drummond, for which he had blamed
himself as without cause. began to And
some attenuation.

waiter raised his eyes and saw Joshua
whose small, mean features, closely resem-
bling his fathers, expressed considerable
curiosity. Walter secretly doubted wheth-
er he should like him; but this doubt he
kept to himself. Mr.. Drummond opened
the outer door, and led the way in.
"This is my wife, Mrs. Drummond," he
said, as she approached, and kindly wei
coined the young stranger.

ter, suffering his glance to rest for a mo-
ment on her mild, placid features; 'she
is evidently quite superior to her hus-
band"
Joshua, come here and welcome Mr.
Conrad" said his father.
Joshua came forward awkwardly and
held out his hand with the stiffness of q
pump handle.
"Howdy do?" he said. Just Gomez"
"Yes," said Walter, accepting the hand
and shaking it slightly.
"Are you tired with your journey, Mr.
Conrad?" asked Mrs. Drummond. Per
haps you would like to be shown to your
room"
Walter went upstairs, preceded by Mr..
Drummond, who insisted on carrying his
carpetbag, for his trunk would not ar
rive till the next day, having been for
warded by express At five o'clock they
sat down to supper.

will be able to relish our humble repast."
Humble again ~ thought Walter. He
was about to say that everything looked
very nice, when Joshua said
what you'd say to the suppers we com
monty have"
Mr.. Drummond, who desired, for this
day, at least, to keep up appearances,
frowned with vexation.

will act in a more gentlemanly way or
else leave the table. Have you ever been
in Stapleton before, Mr.. Conrad?"

NO PERMANENT SUCCESS FOR THE
"BEAR."

]. Pierpont Morgan undoubtedly
expressed a vital truth the other day
when he told a circle of friends in
Chicago, that any man who is a
bear on the future of this country
will go broke"
The bear is the man, Spectator or
otherwise, who is pessimistic in his
nature, who sees the dark side of
business life, who believes at all
times that panic is lowering over
the land, that values are about to go
to smash, that the wheels of pro-
gress are to stop. and that there is
no brightness, no hope, no revival in
the future
Such a man, who carries out his
views in his investing or his specu-
lating, is sure, as Morgan says, to go
broke. The man who carries such a
spirit into his daily life is sure to
be stranded financially, physically
and mentally
In country as vast as this, with
resources as yet hardly more than
scratched, with its population in
creasing two to three millions every
year, with its wealth piIing up by
untold millions annually, with enor
nous areas of land that sooner or
later will add enormously to the
agricultural wealth of the country,
with vast mineral areas yet untouch-
ed, yet undiscovered, with great
part of its territory practically vir-
gin, a country into which the whole
population of Europe might be pour
ed and rooms still be found for
others-in such land there is no
room for the pessimist, the chronic
doubter, the man who sees through
jaundiced eyes. the fellow who banks
on the failure of humanity rather
than its success.
The bear may occasionally
find things coming his way,
but if he plays on that side
of the game very long in the United
States he goes broke. This is not a
bear country, never has been one
more than for temporary period.
1t is a land of buoyant natures, a
land overflowing naturally with plen-
ty, land of promise and of fruition
that exceeds the promise.
Be sanguine, keep your face tow
ard the sun, work steadily on, and
no man can withhold a due meas
ure Of prosperity and success from
you.
