LIFE IN DAWSON CITY.
PLENTY OF EXCITEMENT THERE
Stampede to New DUtrlctu -Vice Reign*
Everywhere A Horne That Kan Away
With 2* Hi.ooo Worth of Gold Dnit.
Chicago, Nov. I. Tin* correspondent
of lho Record sends the following Inter
esting description of life in Dawson
City:
Stampedes to new creeks or gulches
are of semi-daily occurrence. Hardly
an evening has passed during the last
ten days when there has not lieeu from
two to three rushes, or rather stam
pedes. off to newly discovered dig
gings. Overton men left/a day or two
ago for Eureka creek, one of the tribu
taries of Indian river, a distance of
seventy-live miles, through a pathless
tract of wild, mountainous country.
To create a rush of this character all
that is necessary is for a whisper to
be overheard, the exhibition of half
an ounce of course gold ami a Hint ns
to where it came from. In half an
hour from ten to 100 men will be
strung out along tin* trail in the direc
tion indicated. Some of them are in
such haste as not to take along blank
ets or food, though the distance is
from thirty to fifty miles.
A few nights ago some one came in
and reported a gold strike on Montana
creek, a little stream entering the Yu
kon on the east side. The night was
miserably dark and stormy and a light
snow was falling. "Clieocliacoes,” or
tenderfoot, the appellation applied to
new arrivals, were wildly excited and
flow off toward the creek. Some went
in boats and poled up against the
strong current, and others crossed over
the mountain and two or three gulches.
The first arrivals built tires, and with
torches measured 500 feet and planted
their stakes. Frank Slnvin, the well
known pugilist, was the second man
to locate a claim. At 12:30 o’clock at
night seven claims were staked off,
and people continued to arrive by the
score, and now upward of -too claims
have been located. Every locator was
tired, wet, hungry and cold.
. At present the mine-owners are bus
ily engaged in cutting cord wood aud
erecting cabins for the accommodation
of workmen this winter. As soon as the
heavy frosts freeze the earth to a ins
tance of twenty or twenty-live feel
holes will l>e sunk and the work of
drifting commenced. Reaching lnxlrock,
large fires are started to thaw the ice
out of the ground. Workmen immedi
ately pick and shovel the gravel into
buckets and haul it up on the dumps.
The drift or tunnel follows the pay
streak along on the liedrock. and in
most Instances runs off in three or four
directions. Naturally the tunnels are
dark, and candles are used. 'Hie men
work in their shirt sleeves while down
in the drifts and do not feel the cold.
Tin* man above who stands by the
winch and hauls up the gravel has the
coldest Job of them all. particularly
when the thermometer registers 50 or
00 degrees below zero. East winter
only two or three* of the mines c1os«h1
down on account of cold weather, but
most of the claims were worked eon
. tinuously until warm weather. Owing
r to the marshy condition of the soil and

the abundance of water s.epinpp
through the gravel. It is Impossible to
drift in the summer.
One great disadvantage which the
owners are now suffering is the ina
bility of the two local sawmills to fur
nish enough lumber to make sluice
boxes. The demand exceeds the sup
ply by fully 40 or 50 per cent., and
it may be the menus of preventing
several of the dutnits on the largest
mines Indng sluiced early next spring.
The only inconvenience will lx* tin* de
lay, as the iluiii|M can be worked later
in tiie season.
Around the halls are I tenches and su
gar barrels, all occupied by spectators.
In the sea of fact's I noticed many re
fined countenances, persons who looked
as if it was a revelation of an evil
world to them.
For iniquity and vice no city can hope
to make a favorable showing along
side of Dawson City, this little com
munity which, a year ago. did not con
tain a single house and was but a wild
erness alongside of tin* ltosom of the
Yukon river, and in its brief existence
lias shipiM'd out to the world tons of
virgin gold. Some fifteen or eighteen
saloons aye tilled every night with
crowds of men and women. The dance
halls are brilliantly lighted, and all
night long poor music servos to attract
men who have seen better days and to
divest them of their gold. To-night at
the opera house I saw several men
roughly dad in miners' costumes, big.
wide-brimmed hats and hlgh-topi>od
skin 1 M>ots. with lighted cigars, dancing
with girls whose faces are paling fast
under the blaze of excitement.
One of tlm liveliest and most inter
esting horse hunts that ever took place
in this nineteenth century occurred re
cently. One of the pack trains was en
gaged in bringing down l.ooo or 1.500
pounds of gold from the mines. Sacks
of nuggets weighing from 150 to 200
pounds were loaded on the backs of
eight horses and started down the
gulches, which are eight miles distant
from Dawson Oity. Darkness came on
rather early and one of the animals,
carrying iso pounds of the yellow
metal, which is equivalent to $40,000.
lH'cnme separated and wandered off
into the woods to browse. The loss was
not noticed until the pack train arrived
in town and tin* gold was being
weighed. For a few moments, which
rapidly grew into hours and tills length
ened into a couple of days, consterna
tion prevailed. No lime was lost in gel
ting over the back trail and making
hasty inquiries of the miners along the
route as to whether they had seen any
tiling of a horse with a pack on Ids
back. The hunt lasted all night, tiie
next dnv and the night following, and
not tin*' slightest trace of the horse
could be found. What puzzled the
searchers all the more was the fact
that tin' los-t animal wore a clear bell.
At the end of tin* second day when the
Incident was fast assuming one of
those unfathomable mysteries that
sometimes «weop down on a mining
camp, the lest horse came over the top
of n mountain and down into town
jingling the bell in a lively tone, with
tiie sack of gold safely on ids back. 'Hie
animal had been browsing in a meadow
situated way up In the mountains.

LATE EDITOR DANA.
THE GREAT JOURNALIST HAD
A BUSY CAREER.
One of the Moat llrtlllant Men Mine*
the I>i»ya of Horace Greeley—Whi a
Pupil of the Celebrated Owner of tbe
New York Tribune.
N American writ
er several months
ago thus pictured
the late Charles A.
Dana, for 25 years
editor of the New
York Sun: “Mr.
Dana is most ac
cessible. When not
abroad he spends
several hours of
every day in tho
editorial rooms, and while there can be
seen as readily as the youngest report
er on tho paper. A card Is sent in to
him by an office boy. If he Is at leis
uro the visitor is asked In at once to a
large room. Here are two desks, one
occupied by his son, Paul Dana, and
the other by Mr. Dana himself. He sits
in front of a large table, and beams
upon his visitor through the specta
cles that the caricaturists and cartoon
artists have made so familiar to Hie
American public. Ills manner is most
kindly and sympathetic, and all fear of
him vanishes at once in his presence.
His eyes twinkle with merriment while
he is listening, and also when he
speaks. And yet lie wastes no time.
He knows what ho wants to do. and
therefore tfiere Is no hesitation or de
lay in reaching a conclusion in any
business brought before him. Of
course, no man of experience will
bother the chief with mere routine bus
iness. If anyone makes that mistake
with Mr. Dana, he Is not snubbed for
his error, but politely referred to the
proper assistant. He is very popular
with all who do not take offense at the
CHARLES A. DANA.
caustic way he has of speaking of
those he opposes in public life through
his paper.”
Mr. Dana is an exceedingly learned
miiu. He has spent much time in
tiavel and is a keen observer. Several
languages are ns his native tongue to
him. Not long ago he was reported to
be amusing himself learning the Dan
ish language. At his summer residence
he devotes a groat deal of attention to
gardening, and his love of flowers is
marked.
Mr. Dana was born at Hinsdale, New
Hampshire, on August 8, 1819, and
entered Harvard College twelve
years later. In 1842 he became a mem
btw of Brook Farm community, in Rox
bury, Mass., and remained there until
1844. He edited, in connection with
George Ripley, Parke Goodwin and
John S. Dwight, the Harbinger, a
weekly Journal devoted to social re
form and general literature, 1844-47. In
1847 he became connected with the New
York Tribune, and was for thirteen
years managing editor, until the spring
of 18C2. In 1855 he projected Apple
ton’s "American Cyclopaedia,” in six
teen volumes, and, in conjunction with
Mr. George Ripley, was its responsible
editor to its completion in 1863, as,
also, of the revised edition. 1873-77.
The Household Book of Poetry was
compiled and published by him in 1858
and revised and enlarged in 1882. From
1862 to 1865 he was in the government
service, during the last two years as
assistant secretary of war. About the
beginning of 1866 he became editor of
the Chicago Republican, now the Inter
Ocean. In 1868 he went to the New
York Sun.
And Mr. Dana has made it one of
the best written and most interesting
papers in North America. The Sun
had its "fads,” but those who disliked
them found plenty else in the paper
of interest and merit.
Tit In SewHoii’H Florida Oihiiko Crop.
Florida’s orange crop for 1897-98 will
soon be going forward to market, and
a good many estimates are being made
as to what the crop in the state will
figure up. Last season It amounted to
about 125,000 boxes. That was the first
year’s fruit after the freeze, and the
crop was accordingly very small, espe
cially when It is recollected that the
product of the state had been number
ed in millions rather than in thousands
of boxes. A careful estimate made by
a gentleman in the city, who is well
informed as to the crop throughout the
state, places it In round numbers at
about 200,000 boxes. It is believed that
these figures are conservative, and that
the crop will go above rather than be
low the figures named.—Florida Times-
Union.

Delight* or Which the Modern Child
Know* Nothing.
I do not believe thut the modern
child knows anything about an attic.
The fln-de-siecle attic is a respectable
place, where boxes are solemnly piled
and where iaoth camphor sheds its
fragrance abroad, says a writer In Llp
pincott’s. There are hardly any old
books to be found, for most people
send them to the Hebrew merchants
on tbe side streets. Our attic was a
long, low room, with mysterious dark
corners, lino whoso depths we did not
penetrate. There was an old hair
trunk m one corner that held some of
grandmother’s muslin dresses. It was
opened only on rare occasions and 1
was allowed hut a glimpse of the fad
ed beauty within. There was an ilrt
spinning wheel where spiders hung
fantastic wreaths and there was a gui
tar with Iroken, moldered strings. But
the corner w'here the hooks were piled
was the spot 1 liked the best. An old
fashioned. Uuy-paned window let an
occasional sunbeam stray across the
"Ladles’ Repositories" and* "Saints’
Rest.” There was a fine old elm tree
that tapped against the window and
sometimes a robin sent a thrill of song
into the dusty corners. Just beneath
Ihc window scat I used to sit, a small
crouched form, bending over » musty
volume But when I wished to read
under the most blissful conditions I
fortified myself with half a dozen ni“-
set apples, wTose Juice would have giv
en flavor to a treatise on Hebrew gram
mar. Now, 1 never see a russet apple
without seeing also the dim old attic
and an utterly contented child, and I
am sure the market women misunder
stand my wistful glance, for they draw
closer to their hnskets and look at. me
in suspicious fashion. An apple, so
some toll us. deprived us of our Eden;
but apples were an Important feature
of my childish paradise. So let us
leave them in Pomona’s care and look
at tho intellectual part of the feast.
RISKED HIS LIFE.
llrroUin of Ki-Hfimtor Tnlior —Now w

Those were days of thrilling deeds,
daring adventures, splendid heroism
and brutal treachery, says Leslie’s
Weekly. Once tho free soilers were be
leaguered at Lawrence by an over
whelming force of marauders from
across the river, with battle, murder
and sudden death In their eyes. A few
miles away a force of United States
troops lay encamped, but the Mis
sourians had drawn their lines so tight
ly that it was us much as a free Boil
er’s life was worth to try to reach
them. Was there a man In I/awrence
brave enough to take the risk? The
besiegers rarely threw away a cart
ridge; their aim was sure, their fin
gers quick on the trigger. Yet, as night
fell and the people thought of what
the morning might bring, a Vermont
boy said he would take bis chances.
The swiftest and strongest horse In
the plnce was saddled; the l>oy gripped
him with Ills knees, swung his whip
in his hand, and, commending his old
father to his friends if he fell, dashed
out Into the dark. Lawrence listened
to tho clatter of his horse’s hoofs, to
the steady gallop Into which the ani
mal’s pace settled down, to the crack
of an outpost rifle, followed by a vol
ley not aimed at the rider, for they
could not see him, but at the sound of
his furious rush; and then the firing
died out, and Lawrence knew from tho
faint reverberation of the distant hoof
beats that the during rider had giA
through the lines and that the city was
saved. The young man’s name was II
A. W. Tabor, and he lived to be
United States senator from Colorado
for a brief term. Many years ago he
told me the story in confidence I
think I am justified in breaking faith,
now that the old man is a bro Ken,
houseless bankrupt, w’ho, at this time,
sorely needs a friend.
A GREAT EDUCATOE.
Prof. Ellphalet Nott Potter, Xh D.,
LL. D., has been selected as pfHfident
of the Cosmopolitan university by
John Brlsben Walker. Dr. Potter was
elected president of Union College In
1871, and chancellor of Union Univer
sity, when the scope of the Institution
was enlarged In 1873. In 1884 he re
signed the presidency, declined a call

Reliable Weather Prophets.
Birds, including domestic poultry,
have long been accepted In popular be
lief as reliable weather prophets. A
German professor explains this seem
ingly mysterious gift on simple scien
tific linos. Birds, he says, are the most
warm-blooded of all animals, and use
up more air than other animals. Not
only their lungs, but air-sacks In vari
ous parts of their bodies, are extended
with air, wherefore a change in at
mospheric pressure is soon felt by
them.

NEGLECT IS SUICIDE.
Plain Words From Mrs. Pinkham, Corroboratod by Mrs. Oharles
Dunmore, That Ought to Brins Suffering
Women to Their Sensos.
If you were drowning and friendly hands shoved a plank to you, and you
refused it, you would be committing suicide! .
Yet that is precisely what women are doing 1 if they go about their homes
almost dead with misery, yet refuse to grasp the kindly hand held out to them!
It is suicidal to go day after day with that dull, con
stant pain in the region of the womb and that
bloating heat and tenderness of the abdomen,
y which make tho weight of your clothes an
\f\. /W almost intolerable burden to you. It ia not
_A\ y J/| natural to suffer so in merely emptying the
t/J / bladder. - Does not that sjiecial form of suf
fering tell you that there is inflammation
Shall 1 tell you whnt it is?
*"** Tt is inflammation of the womb!
If it goes on, polypus, or tumor, or cancer will set in.
Commence the use of Lydia li. Pink ham's Vegetable
Compound. Thousands of women in this condition have
been cured by it. Keep your bowels open with Mrs. Pinkliam’s Liver Pills,
and if you want further advice, write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., stat
ing freely all your symptoms—she stands ready and willing to give you
the very best advice. She has given the helping hand to thousands
suffering justlikeyourself, many of whomlivcdmilesnwny from physi
cian. Her marvelous Vegetable Compound has cured
many thousands of women. It can be found at any
respectable drug store.
Mrs. CiiAIiLRS Dunmokf., 102 Fremont St., Winter
Hill, Somerville. Mass., says: "I was in puinduyntid U
night: 1113' doctor did not seem to help me. I could
not seem to find any relief until I took Lydia E. I > ink-"'3pjoMqp w ’'
ham's Vegetable Compound. I hod inflammation of
the womb, a bearing-down pain, and the whites very
badly. The pain was so intense that I could not sleep at
night. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for eight jpv months,
and am now all right. Before that I took morphine pills for my pain; that
was & great mistake, for the relief was only momentary and the effect vile. I
am so thankful to be relieved of my sufferings, for the pains I had were some
thing terrible. I am, indeed, very grateful for the good Mrs. Pinkham’s reme
dies have done me."

"Do jon ever tell ties?” “Yes, often—to
Inquisitive people."
A novel proposition was made not long
ago to the Receivers of the Baltimore «
Ohio Railroad. The li. it O has a branch
running from what is known as Alexumlria
Junction, near Washington, to Hhepherd’a
on the Potomac River, where a ear ferry
is operated in connection with the lines
lending south from tho Capitol. A pro
fessor of 1111 eastern college desired to lease
this short stretch of track for the purpose
of educating young men in practical rail
road work, in his letter he explained that
he thought there was a wido Held for bright
and energetic hoys who could be thorough
ly well grounded in the practical side of
railroading, provided they could bo edu
cated 011 a regular line of road. He ba
lioved tliut by tho employment of veteran
railroad men as teachers that the boys
could profitably spend 2or :t years work
ing as trainmen,firemen.engineers, switch
men. station agents, ami in other capaci
ties required in tho railroad service. As
this branch of tho R. & O. is of considera
ble value the Receivers were compelled to
decline tho offer.
