Washington, Feb. 20.—Secretary Al
ger has transmitted to congress a com
plete report on the'relief work of the
war department in the Klondike coun
try, undertaken undervact of congress
as a result of reports that extreme dis
tress among the miners followed the
influx to the gold country during 1857
9S. It embraces the detailed reportsiof
Capt. P. IT. Ray and Lieut. W. P. llich
ardson. Aside from details of the re
lief work, Capt. Ray's last.report, dated
May last, contains the following inter
esting statement:
"I deem it of the greatest importance for
the development of the country that roads
should be opened, so as to enable the people
to enter the country not only from the
Yukon to the open sea In our own country,
which Is of the greatest importance, but to
enable miners and prospectors to get Into
the interior with their supplies. Under ex
isting conditions persons can enter the
country only by the one great highway—
the Yukon river—and they cannot hope to
be landed at any point in Alaska earlier
than July 1.
"The gold-bearing districts are from 60
to 150 miles back from the main stream.
There are not any summer trails except
foot trails, and provisions and tools can
only be transported on the backs of men.
"I don't find anything either in Alaska
or Northwest territory to justify the great
rush of people to that country, or the enor
mous investment now being made in trans
portation, trading and mining companies.
In Northwest territory, no discoveries of
extraordinary richness have been made
since that of the Klondike, and the claims
are almost entirely confined to Bonanza,

"Up to date no paying mmeral loads of
either gold or silver have been discovered
in North Alaska, so far as known. I
am now fully satisfied that in the near
future Alaska will be the source of great
wealth, but the development will necessar
ily bo slow owing to the climatic condi
tions. I recommend the early introduction
of horses, mules and cattle, and extra in
ducements should be held out for the de
velopment of agriculture in the valley of
the lower Yukon especially. Wild hay can
be obtained there in great abundance, and
oats, barley and spring wheat can be suc
cessfully cultivated as well as potatoes,
turnips, and all the more hardy garden
vegetables, all of which would be required
for many years to meet the local demand,
and by reducing the cost ot transportation
and food render it possible to proiitabiy
work a large per cent, of the mines now ly
ing idle.
uut tew ol' the people now entering the
northern part of the territory will ever be
come a factor in its permanent develop
ment. They must pass away before the
time when the wealth of the country will
become known and developed. To promote
this 1 recommend that severul well
equipped parties be put in the field and a
thorough geographical and geological ex
ploration of the country be made, so that
men of ordinary means will be able to en
gage In the work of prospecting and min
ing. At present It requires considerable
capital to first explore the country for a
practicable route to transport supplies be
fore any work can be done In prospecting.
"The ruling rate of interest at Dawson
is from 10 to 12 per cent, per month, which
is the best exemplification I can give of tlu

In tlie Rooms of a Debauch—Little
Girl Saaglit Help.
Philadelphia, Feb. 20.—Mrs. Charles
Fahrenkamp, aged 33 years, her two
children, Florence and William, aged
respectively ten and nine years, and an
unknown woman, aged about 35 years,
weiie found dead Sunday in a room in
Mrs.' Fahrenkamp's home, 1416 North
Fift^s'econd street. The gas was
turned on and life had apparently been
extinct for several days. Scattered
about the first floor were remnants of
cigars and cigarettes and empty beer
and whisky bottles. The bodies were
found by a next-door neighbor who
had forced an entrance to the house.
Mrs. Fahrenkamp was lying on the
floor and her daughter near by. The
unknown woman and the boy were in
bed. The last heard from the inmates
of the house was on Thursday night,
when the piano was kept playing until
a late hour. On Friday morning Mrs.
Wilson, living next door, was asked by
Florence to assist her in raising her
mother' from the floor, where the child
said she was sleeping. Mrs. Wilson told
her she was unable to do so, and sug
gested that the girl cover her mother
and allow her to continue sleeping.
The two women and the boy, it is be
lieved',* were then dead, and from the
position of the girl, who occupied an
other room, it is thought that she was
overcome by the gas while trying to lift
her mother. Mrs. Fahrenkamp's bus-

TO RECONCILE DIFFERENCES.
United States Government May Sanc-
tl011
th»
Floating of Bonds to
Pay Cuban Soldiers.
Washington, l«'eb. 20.—Efforts are
making, with every prospect.of success.,
to reconcile the radical element among
the Cubans to the proposition of the
United States government to pay the
soldiers of the Cuban cause $3,000,000.
This is expected to be accomplished
through a rather sweeping authoriza
tion by the United States government
for the incurment of a considerable
loan to make good the deficiency be
tween the sum the United Statesagrees
to pay to the troops and the- sum the
Cuban leaders believe to be the small
est- that can be paid with benefit and
due regard to justice. So far. the prop
osition lias not. taken official shape here,
but the administration has been quiet
ly sounded by the Cuban contingent,
who have expressed gratification at the
prospects. Gen. Gomez, himself is ex
pected to broach the plan, formally
when he begins his conferences with
Gen. Brooke in Havana. Gomez ar
rived Wednesday at. Matanzas, making
his way very slowly towards the capi
tal. What is proposed is that the
United States shall sanction, the float
ing of bonds by the Cuban municipali
ties or provinces to the amount of
$7,000,000, which sum is to be paid over
to the Cuban, troops in addition to the
$3,000,000 to be paid by the United
States. The municipalities are to set
I aside a certain proportion from the
receipts from customs and other
sources of taxation to meet the bonds.
In addition to this, the United States
government is to be askedi to sanction
the redeiupt ion out of the customs re
ceipts of the bonds issued in aid of
I the Cuban rebellion to the amount of
$2,500,000.
Data, it is- stated here, will be pro
duced- by the Cuban assembly to show
that every cent of this sum was ex
pended in legitimate war expense*.

A FAREWELL SURPRISE
Lodge Sternberg Tender a Surprise and An
niversary Party to Mr. aud Mrs.
M. A. Harding..
The lodge room in Laub's block was
the scene of good fellowship last Fri
day evening when the Woodmen of
the World, the Odd Fellow's lodges,
the ladies of the Woodmen Circle and
the Rebekahs tendered a surprise to
Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Harding. The oc
casion was the ISth. anniversary of
their wedding, and was all the more
appropriate as they are about to leave
Denison and the party served *n the
nature of a farewell also.
After bounteous refreshments Mrs.
L. M. Baer took charge of the meeting
and called upon Mrs. La Burk, who
with a few fitting words, presented
Mrs. Harding with«a handsome souve
nir of the occasion on behalf of Linn
Grove Circle. Mr. II. A. Cook acted
as toastmaster, and was fully equal to
the emergency, introducing the differ
ent speakers in a humorous and yet
eloquent manner. Rev. A. G. Martyn
responded feelingly to th« appropriate
toast, "Our Guests," bidding them God
speed on their journey, and assuring
them that the affectionate regard of
our people went with them. Prof. Van
Ness spoke of the principles of frater
nity taught by the lodges and the good
done by them. Miss Ella Ivens respon
ded to the toast, "The Ladies and the
Lodge." She recalled the good work
done by the ladies in lodge work, and
challenged opposition to deny .if possible,
the good results. Mr. G. L. Caswell
spoke eloquently of the "Lodge Goat,"
and told of the many lessons of good
will, friendship and benevolence which
that much abused animal taught. Rev
P. W. Bateson spoke of the "Lodge,
and the Church." His talk was humor
ous. but filled with sensible thought of
the common purpose of both lodge and
church in promoting brotherly love
At the close Mr. Harding, with voice
tremulous with emotion thanked the
friends and fellow lodge members for
the evidences of esteem which had
been showered upon himself and wife.
Ic was midnight when the company
adjourned. These gatherings are bright
lights along the shore of life.

He was born in Ohio January 22,1819
and had therefor passed through the
boundary line of 80 years. He came to
Scott Co. Iowa in 1841 when but a
young man. In 1849, upon the dis
covery of gold in California, in common
with thousands of others he made his
way to that El Dorado, going by the
tedious ocean route via Panama. After
spending nearly two years he returned
to his home, where in December 1854
he was married to Miss Patterson, the
devoted companion who survives him.
A few years later he again returned to
the Pacific coast, engaging in mining
and penetrating into the remote re
gions of Alaska, living an isolated life
among the Indian tribes whose lang
uage be acquired aud spending eleven
years in that territory. Returning to
Iowa, he located a farm home in Craw
ford county near West Side in 1869. A
year and a half ago be purchased a
home in Denison to spend here his last
days. He was permitted to -enjoy its
tranquility but a brief period when the
inevitable summons came, lie had set
his -house in order and was ready to
obey the call of God's messenger.
Dying he leaves a priceless lesracy—
the memory of a well spent life. Intel
lectually by extensive reading and
travel his mind had become a store
house of valuable and varied know
ledge. Religiously he was reared in
the Society of Friends. Last April by
profession of faith and baptism he uni
ted with the Presbyterian church in
Denison and was a most faithful and
honored member.
His character as a husband, citizen
or friend inspired profound respect,
confidence and affection.
The funeral service was held at the
family residence on Sabbath afternoon,
cm ducted by his pastor. Rev. A. G.
Martyn assisted by members of the
Presbyterian choir and interment was
made at West Side.

DEATH fJOISOII,
Enno Krull's Untimely Death Caused
by Paris Green.
CORONERS INQUEST HELD
Strange Circumstances of Death Jury
Finds Gross Carelessness the Cause
Paris Green and Uutter.
Enno Krull, the ten year old son of
Karl Krull, of Washington township,
was found dead on Thursday atternoon.
Mr. Krull was in town aud Mrs. Krull
on returning from the field found the
boy kneeling on tlie lloor with his head
tnrough a roller towel, which hung
from the door, with the little four year
old baby lying across his feet calmly
sleeping in the presence of death.
Under the circumstances it was thought
best to hold an inquest and accordingly
the coroner was summoned and Con
stable Cavett sent out to gather in wit
nesses and jurors. The examination
was held on Saturday and Drs. Folsom
and Coon made the post mortem. The
main factH developed by the inauest
were as follows: Enno had been at
work in the fields coming in to dinner
after one o'clock, he ate but little, al
though he made no complaint of illness. .'
He told his mother that cattle were
running in the field where the corn was
still unpicked and Mrs. Krull went "to
see ^boiit it leaving Enno and the babyvA .v.
alone in the house. The field is nearly^
a half mile distant, Mrs. Krull went
there, found but little corn but stopped'"'*
to pick some stray ears, she returned,
stopping again to tend to the chickens.'-.
.When she got to the house she found
Enno leaning against the door which.'
she partially opened. She went round
to another door and then aiCW the awful
sight as described above. The body
was still warm and she tried to restorer
life. She then ran, for her nearest'
neighbor, Mrs. Wm. Schweitzer, andv
together they carried the body to the?'
next room. It was Mrs. Schweitzer-
who first noticed that in one room, used
chiefly for a store room, quite a quantity,
of paris green lying loose in a half
opened drawer. She asked about it
We, the jury, find that the deceased
came to his death by poison, which we
believe to be paris green, accidentally
taken by himselr, said poison having
been negligently and carelessly left ex
posed.
The funeral took place in the after
noon at Defiance and it was a sorrow
ful and pitiful company that left the
farm house for the cemetery. Mr. Krull
was nearly heart brosen over ibe loss
of his son.
While the verdict of the Jjury is sat
isfactory and was made after complete
and painstaking investigation it is
probable that the manner in which the
poison was taken will always remain a
mystery. It is indeed a sad case, and
while we think the verdict of careless
ness was well sustained we do not think
any further guilt should be attached to
any one.
