AN OPEN LETTER
To the People of Dawson.


To Whom 1t May Concern: or
late there has been a good deal of
discussion in Dawson in regard to
advertised medicines and their value
the papers are full of them.
We want to say to every man, wo-
man and child in Dawson that we be-
lieyo the most valuable preparation
Of cod liver oil-the best tonic re-
constructor, health restorer and
strength creator-We have ever sold
in our store is Vinol.
VinCl is not patent medicine, it
contains no injurious drugs, but it
actually does contain all Of the me-
dicinal, curative elements taken from
fresh Gods livers, without a drop
of the useless oil to upset the stOm-
ach and retard it's work, and tonic
iron added.
Vinol is recognized throughout
the world as the greatest strength
creator for old people, weak, sickly
women and children, nursing moth
ers, and after a severe sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chron-
ic colds, bronchitis and all throat
and lung troubles We ask the peo-
pie of Dawson to try VinOl on our
offer to return money if it fails.

CLEvELANO'S WCISSlTUDEs.
The Eminent Citizen Whose Career
Has Been One of Political Ups
and Downs.

On March 18th, one week from to-
day, dignifed gentleman of middle
age will celebrate his seventy-frst
birthday in Princeton, n. J. Tele-
grams and letters will come to him in
great numbers. Some time during
the day several hundred students will
march from the university to pay
their vociferous respects. In a
thunderous voice they will inquire:
whats the matter with GToyer?'
and the answer, sizzling with en-
thusiasm, will convey to the far
horizon the pleasant information
that "he's all right" Friends will
drop in to shake his hand and wish
him many happy returns of the day,
while from one end of this broad
land to the other the newspapers will
contain detailed reports of how he
spent the afternoon and what kind
of duck or fish he had for dinner.
In all these various evidences OF
friendly concern you will be con-
scious of a genuine note OF admirinS
solicitude for the most distinguished
private citizen of the world.
1t is needless to say that Grover
referred to is none other than the
eminent gentleman who in 1885
marched into the white house with
the banners of victory bravely f1y-
ing in the March breeze; who
marched out a defeated man in
I1SS9; who marched back again in
1898 with more banners of victory,
who in 1897 left the white house in
obIiquy, a leader without a follow
ing, and who now, in 1908, is en-
shrined in the hearts of his admiring
ow-countrymen. Surely here is
career of political ups and downs.

20 MILES WITH NO ENGINEER
No Guiding Hand on Throttle OF
Illinois Central Train.

Without a guiding hand on the
throttle an Illinois Central train ran
a distance of twenty miles in a half
hour. Not till a signal station,
where the train should have stopped,
was reached did Fireman G. Ander-
son learn that Engineer E. R. Skeel
of FreepOrt, H., was missing from
the cab.
With a SILVER of terror at the
thought of the danger through when
he and the crew had passed una
wares Anderson brought the train
to a stop at Broadview, fifteen miles
ont of Chicago. The train crew ran
forward to learn the trouble.
"Skeel's gone" shouted Anderson.
Hes vanished. don't know Where
he is, or how long he has been gone:
Then the train was backed up slowly
down the line with the crew search
ing for a trace of the missing man.
Miles back they found his mangIed
body beside the rails. His head was
crushed, and his legs had been
ground by the wheels Death had
evidently been quick and painless
It is believed by the train crew
that Skeel had leaned from the win
dow of his cab to look after hot
box back on the train ana was
struck by a signal post "nlch
knocked him from the cab.
