of them residents of the quiet lit
necticut borough. Being delay-
In the East by bad snow storms,

by the Chicago & Northwestern peo
ple and sent through "special" in the
of a blinding snow storm.
"\Vhen the party left Stamford Mon

the station to bid them good-bye.
The party includes thirty-four mem-
T bers of the Alaska Mining and Trad

PKWSVLVAMA PARTY.
Little Hand or Thirteen Going After
Wealth.
A party of thirteen people from tha Penn
sylvania oil country, including one woman,
reached St. Paul yesterday on their way
to the Klondike. The party reached St. Paul
o"n the Milwaukee road and took passage over
the Great Northern to Seattle. They will sail
from there for Dyea Feb. 4. The men ara
carrying drills of the kind used for boring
for oil, and expect to utilize them when they
reach the gold country. They have all had
some experience in the home oil fields and
believe they will find It valuable in testing
claims for gold. If they fail at first to lo
cate paying claims for themselves they will
prospect for other miners and secure the
yellow metal In this manner.
Most of the members of the party are young
people. One of them, Arthur E. Hurley, i 3
accompanied by his wife. They were mar
ried recently, and Mrs. Hurley was not willing
that her husband should undertake B i peril
ous a trip without her.
The men expect to construct a boat on the
far side of the Chllkoot pass after they have
crossed successfully. In the party are Mr.
and Mrs. Hurley, W, C. Campbell, J. P.
Mullin. Francis Mullin, Harry G!ass. W. E.

ROMANCE IISOM THE KLONDIKE.
lowa Man Supposedly Dead Tele
ui;i;i!:i Hifl Wife.
CEDAR FALLS. 10.. Jan. 26.— Poverty
changed to wealth and mourning to joy this
morning when Mrs. George Turner, of this
city, received a dispatch from her husband,
who she had long supposed dead, announc
ing his arrival at Seattle with 160,000 In
Klondike gold and summoning her to Juln
him in Seattle, where he will ba for some
time engaged in handling large mining Inter
ests.
For some y^ars Mr. and Mrs. Turner re
sided in this city, where he was engaged as
a day laborer.
On the first reports of the discovery of gold
Turner sold what little property he pos
sessed in order to outfit for a Klondike ex
pedition, his wife going to live with her par
ents, who also dwelt in poverty.
On receipt of the telegram Mrs. Turner
was overcome, and up to tha time of de
parture for Seattle was unable to appreciate
the good fortune which had befallen her.
A stO'-k company which has been formed In
this section of lowa has b.'rn given a great
impetus by Turner's stake, and plans are
now being made to send a large number of
experienced men to Alaska at an early date.

MONTREAL. Que., lan. 26.— 11. Maitland
Kefley. who recently resigned as th.- N~w
York representatives of the White Star line
In order to go into gold mining, has Just re
turned here from England, where he floated
the British Yukon Exploration company with
great success. This. It is stated is on* of
the must influential mining and exploring
syndicates yet formed in England. Mr. Ker
sey states that steamers are now being con
structed in England for use on the Yukon
river and Tcslin lake. These steamers, which
arc so constructed that they can be shipped
in sections, will be placed on Canadian Pa
cific steamers and proceed to the Klondike
country by way of Cape Horn. L. Z. Letter,
of Chicago, is one of the principal backers of
this syndicate.
GREAT COCKING MA IX.
Eniteni Men Oat Si* i huusand Dol
lar* on the Resnlt.
CHICAGO, Jan. 36.— Chicago blrd3 defeated
Eastern representatives yrs"orday In one of
the greatest cocking mains ever held In the
West. The cocks were furnished by John
Uackin, of this city, and Frank Casey, of
Blackstone, Mass. Tho latter was accom
panied by about a dozen prominent sporting
men from Boston, who wpre anxious to back
his birds. The main was for $5,000, and large
amounts wore wagered upon each battle.
On account of threatened prosecution by the
Illinois Humane society, which offered a re
ward for information, the battles were fought
at Antioch, about forty mil^s from the city,
but in the state. Twenty -one birds were
shown by oarh side, of which fifteen fell In.
The weights were four pounds and six
ounces to catch weights, alternating heavy
and light bird 3. The Western contingent was
well supplied and beat the Eastern men to
a standstill.
Casey yon the first four without much
trouble, and the s^ore was 5 to 1 after the
sixth. Mackin had fought three Japa, sent
especially by Grenn. of Sacramento. Oco
c«k won twice- Old timers said it was the
fastest fighting they ever saw. The birds
on each side were game to the utmost. It
was a hard main for Casey to lose, especially
as his chickens lost two of the critical battles
after having a big advantage. Casey Is said
never to have lost a main before, while
Mackin has not been defeated for several
years. The Eastern men are Mpposed to
have lost between $.",000 and $6,000 on the re
sult. Thoir gameness aroused favorable
comment.
"Tom" Hanton. of this city, officiated as
referee and timekeeper. The principals were
such thorough sportsmen that he was not
called upon to docide a single protest. A.l
-though the battle was fought yesterday, the
party did not return until today. It wa3
caught in the blizzard five miles from a rail
road station. Casey and his friend 3 are
anxious to arrange a return main In tha
East, and have secured a partial promise.
The Cuban Scare.
Although the diplomatic entanglement
with Spain over Cuba is to some extent In
fluencing the stock market. Wall street ex
pects co serious complications. Nevertheless
sertou3 complication «vith other maladies
may be expected to follow an attack of bilious
ness which is not checked at the outset. The
most effectual means to this end is Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters, an admirable remedy,
moreover, for dyspepsia, malaria, kidney
trouble, constipation and nervousness.
TAKING IT EASY.
Pace in the Six-Day Bicycle Race
More .Moderate.
PITTSBIRG. Pa.. Jan. 26.— There was a
very light attendance at the 72-hour bicycle
race today, and little interest was manifested.
The fast pace set on Monday Is beginning to
tell on the riders, and they were inclined
to take it much easier today. Waller and
Elkes were still tied for first place, with
Schinneer a good third, and the others
trailing.
Eddie Bald gave an exhibition ride of a half
mile, making the distance in 1:04.
The record for 3>> hours in a 72-hour race
was broken tonight by 3S miles. The score
at 1 o'clock was as follows: Waller t«l
miles 8 laps; Eikes, tel.S: Henshaw. 527.8;
Dench, 633.4; Gannon. 608.10; Schinner, 679.8"
Hall, 673.4; Ruckel, 603.7; Walters, 672.5.
COLLECI E~ BT\ SE B AX L LEAGUE.
One Proposed l»>- Institutions in the
State.
The statement is made that a plan is being
proposed for the organization of a ba^e ball
league among the colleges of the state.
The assiciatioa would b? patterned after
the football league, which was successfully
organized last December.
The base ball league would, however, prob
ably include the state university, as the man
ager of their team has already replied favor
ably in regard to the proposed league.
Hamiine and Carlton have also declared
for the league, and Macalester, St. Thomas,
Shattuek and St. Olaf are a; present con
sidering the project.
The difficulty of arranging a satisfactory
schedule of games gave rise to this plan for
a league, and there is little doubt that tha
organization will be perfected before the
season opens. Such an association weald un
doubtedly bt» a valuable aid to the managers
who are now struggling ro arrant games
for the spring. As a meth kI of incr
Interest in the game, there is no:hing more
helpful.
St. Paul will probably be Eddie Burk 'a
next stand in the national game. As he has
not been asked to make the Southern trip it
is now pretty surpiy an assured fact tha
"Eddie! Eddie" will never again b.; heard
ai the local park. — Cincinnati Enquirer.

It has become an established fact
that the character and excellence of
the SL Paul manufactured goods com
mands them a ready market, not only
in the Northwest, but in all sections
of the United States. Rapid strides
have been made since the depression
by the St. Paul manufacturers of St
Paul in enlarging the capacity of their
plants, and placing upon the market a
standard article with the mark St
Paul on it, which, with the diversity of
the goods manufactured here and to
gether with their superior quality en
a^!t S .»! hem to successfully compete
with the product of the East, and get
a large amount of trade which has
heretofore gone to Chicago The fol
lowing talks by the heads of local firms
gi\es some idea of the scope of th«
business carried on in the manufac
turing fields of St. Paul:
• • •
«£°S? & Sternber S have announced
that they will dispose of their whole
stock of notions and devote themselves
exclusively to jobbing of mens furnish
Ing goods and the development of their
already effective manufacturing olant,
which was initiated only about a* year
ago. and has been materially enlarged
since that time. The class of goods
turned out have received golden com
ments, and. what is better, increasing
orders and solid money collections
from the customers of the firm and
today a large proportion of their sales
axe of a class of B cods which have been
largely bought of the Eastern factories
in the past.
• • ♦
McFadd< n Mullen & Co., who do the
largest exclusive candy business in St
Paul, said yesterday that they were
thinking of extending their territory
and had already put a man in the state
of Washington to call on the trade
there looking to this end. They manu
factured all their own candy with the
exception of a few specialties, and had
just recovered from the rush of the
holiday season. They were shortly to
put a new pound package of candy on
the market under their trade mark
which would rival any of the similiar
packages put up by firms in Chicago
and New York. Only the very finest
•ns \v«.u!d be used In putting up
i] } iS P and at the same time
the price would be within the reach
of all. From their past experience in
putting candy .specialties on the mar
ket th^ new package promises to be
come well established in the North
western market. Mr. Mullen said yes
terday that they were finding market
for their goods in six states, and the
demand for fine candies had been b.-t
--ter than ever before.
• • •
The Union Mattress Company re
ports that the demand for St. " Pauf
made mattresses has been excellent
right along. The demand for medium
grade mattresses has been especially
R '■ while the call for moss, palm
leaf and hair mattresses of the bettei
grades had been steadily increasing.
Mr. Lowell, present manager of the
concern, said the sea moss mattress,
which was first introduced in the East
a year ago, was becoming popular In
the West, and their concern was giv
ing the sea moss body mattresses con
siderable attention, and expected a big
trade of them for the coming year. The
sea moss of which the mattresses were
made was gathered at high tide, and
made a healthy dry mattress. Many
companies sold them as a sanitary
mattress. They weighed about ten
pounds less than the Spanish moss, and
were a pure sweet mattress, having no
odor, which made them at present
about the best medium grade mattress
on the market.
• * *
The Crescent Creamery company say
that they are finding market for their,
"Crescent Creamery Brand" butter in
nearly a ll the Eastern states, and also
enjoy a large trade on the Pacific
coast. They also cater to the United
States government, having contracts
for the supply of th-> navy yard of
Brooklyn, as well as having furnished
butter to the Western posts for many
years, including Fort Snelling. The
contracts for butter are let to the firm
making the lowest bid for the highest
test butter, and for many years the
Crescent Creamery company have se
cured the contract as the quality of
Minnesota butter is recognized in the
Kast, and the waridppartment in mak
ing the award always considers the
quality of the butter as well as the
price. As high as 40. C00 pounds has
been furnished by the St. Paul con
cern to th< navy department in one
year. The Crescent Creamery com
pany report that a large amount of
their product finds market in the Twin
Cities. They have 'creameries at
Xorthfield. Rochester and Zumbrota.
E. A. Cammack, manager of the com
pany, went to Xorthii.M yesterday to
look over their plant there.
• • •
C. M. P'.vvfr, of the St. Paul Foundry
company, said yesterday that last year
was rather a light year for building
as Indicated by th» business which
they had done in the architectural sup
plies, but that contractors and iron
men were Looking forward to a busy
year. Their principal business was
however, in railroad iron, and miscel
laneous iron moulding rather than
structural material. He thought that
th^ steel constructed buildinjrg would
not be so poDular as they had been m
the past. They had received some
large orders in Montana recently,
among tin m an order for a large lot of
coal machinery. L,ast year there bad
been a good many brick court housps
and EChools prected throughout th
country. From latest reports there
would be even a larger number this
year. Th;-ir business was 50_ per c^nt
better this y.-ar than for a corresp

"It is almcst impossible for us to
keep up with our orders, or get enough
competent help for our factory to sup
ply the spring demand." said George
L. Swift, of Swift. Lewis & Co.. ypst^r
day. Mr. Swift asserted that the same
conditions prevailed in nearly all the
factories in the citjy. They had. he said,
created a great demand for their

and are now selling enormous quan
tities of their "Star Brand" butt<-r.
They ship large quantities of Star
brand to the state of Montana, as Mon
tana relies "n other states for her but
ter supply. Their trade in Montana
had been very satisfactory, and had
been steadily increasing for a year or
more. Up to a year ago the state of
Kansas supplied nearly all the Mon
tana trade with butter, but the fine
quality and good keeping qualities of
Minnesota butter hail popularized the
Minnesota production until at the
present time Minnesota K'ts h'-r share
of the Montana trade, and in the future
will come in for even a larger share of
the butter business. Thomas Milton.
