A WORN-OUT FAD ‘•Spring Medicines,” “Blood Purifiers” and “Tonics” an OldFashioned Idea.

Pure blood, strong nerves and muscles, frm. healthy flesh, can only como from wholesome food well digested. "Blood purifiere" and "nerve tonics” do not reach the cause of tho mischief. The Stomach is the point to be looked after. The safest and surest way to cure any form of indigestion is to take after each meal some harmless preparation of this kind composed of vegetable essences pure pepsin, golden seal and fruit salts, •old by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and these

tablets, taken after meals, assist digestion wonderfully, because they will digest the food promptly before it has time to ferment and sour, and the weak stomach relieved and assisted In this way soon becomes strong and vigorous again. Stuart's Dyspepsia TaDiets are superior to any secret patent medicines, because you know what you are taking into your stomach. They are sold by druggists everywhere at 50e per package. Write F. A. Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich., for book on stomach diseases, mailed free.

[Ex-Collector of the Port of Kansas City.] Of the men who have occupied positions of public trust in Kansas City, either by gift of the people or by appointment, none has a more enviable reputation for ability, honesty and efficiency than James Burns, collector of the port of Kansas City under Grover Cleveland. He lived to the extent of tho maxim—“a public office la a public trust”—and when he retired he carried with him the respect of every one In the community—Democrats and Republicans alike. James Burns has used Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and he does not hesitate to say they have accomplished wonders. "I suffered with dyspepsia for twenty years,” said Mr. Bums yesterday. “Never knew what it was to enjoy life—In fact, living seemed a burden, os it does to all who suffer severely with dyspepsia. A few months ago I began taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Prom the first I felt relief, and now, although I am still taking them, I feel entirely cured. For the first time in twenty years I can eat any tiling I want, and suffer no 111 effects from it. You can’t imagine the pleasure of this unices you have been a dyspepsia sufferer. “I never gave a testimonial for any medicine before, but I feel as if everybody ought to know of this remedy, and while it Is personally dlstasteD.il to me to appear in print in this connection, I fed as if I had no right to shirk the opportunity to, perhaps, help some other sufferers from dyspepsia. I have been recommending the Tablets to all my friends. Only recently I took James H. Lillis, the father of Father Lillis, down to get some, and I undestand he also is being wonderfully benefited. I can’t recommend it too highly.”

PARK REIttONSTRATORS !

A GREAT CROWD ATPEARED BfEFORE THE BOARD OF WORKS.

No Injunction, However, >vh* Served Horr the Board will Deal with the .tinny 1-roteat. — A Lint of the Name«.

When the clock In the office of Public Works struck 10 this morning there was a larger crowd present than at any time before in the history of the board. The crowd was made up chiefly of attorneys representing persons who desired to remonstrate against the assessments of the board for betieflts and damages in connection with the White t^ver and Fall creek park systems. Under the notices sent out the board fixed the time at 10 o’clock, but it has decided to receive remonstrances until 5 o'clock, which is the usual hour for closing the office. Among the earliest on the scene were John J. Carriger and Mayor Taggart. Mr. Carriger has been making severe criticisms of the board’s course. He and the mayor shook hands and bantered each other about the subject. “Oh! you can’t hurt a Christian,” said the mayor. In the conversation of many of those present were heard such expressions as “outrage.” “robbery,” “injustice” and “I’ll fight ’em to the last ditch.” William L. Taylor, representing the C., I. & L. (Monon) Railroad Company, presented a remonstrance w-hlch, he said, w-as yet not a remonstrance. He said the company w-ae not objecting to parks- or its assessments, but wanted it understood that the scheme did not Include the company’s right of way, which, apparently, was within the park system. He presented an order approved by City Attorney Kern to relieve the situation of doubt and exclude the right of way. He represented another client who thought the damages granted him to be too small. There Were Many Others. And there were others—women, some of them. Clerks Bpencer and Reddington were kept busy preparing appearances for those not represented by attorneys. The women seemed to understand the arrangements much better than the men. The men were inclined, some of them, to speculate on the motives of the men who made the assessments. Before noon about a hundred remonstrances had been filed. Under the plan of the board, the remonstrances received will to-night b£ divided into sections and taken up to-mor-row morning at 9:30 o’clock and heard until all have been acted on. The first section taken up to-morrow will be that between Washington avenue and Michigan street. After this the section from Michigan street to Indiana avenue will be taken up, and so on, until the whole list is finished. The board retired with the mayor and City Attorney Kern at 10 o’clock and made its plans. They were announced to the waiting people. There were many suggestions as to how to fix a definite time for hearing each one, but the board said it could not fix a definite time for each, as the cases would be of more or less length. .E. A. Parker asked what the method of procedure would be. Would it be necessary for the remonstrators to subpena their own witnesses, he asked, and how many could they bring? President Downing said remonstrators could bring their own witnesses, but he said the board could not fix - the number. The mayor and the board felt relieved when the meeting ended without a deputy sheriff entering with an injunction. The board had been led to believe that an injunction would be asked by one remonstrator. The suit would raise many questions as to the board’s authority. The board believes it can complete the bearing of remonstrators in ten days. List of Hemonstrators. Those remonstrating were: M. B. Holland. Edward and C#rdella Welnland, J. M. McGauley, G. C.

A SPRINKLER ANGRY. Complain* of Heavy Fine* by Aa- • istant Inspector Flynn. F. W. Nolting, a street sprinkling contractor, and Assistant Sprinkling Inspector Flynn reached a state of belligerency this morning. Mr. Nolting appeared before the board with his attorney, E. A. Brown, and protested that the deductions from his allowances for sprinkling during April had b?en excessive—in fact, more than altogether last year. He was angry, and declared Flynn was incompetent and ought not to hold his place ten minutes longer. Flynn resented tills, but the dispute was interrupted by the board. Mr. Brown was told to bring in a specific complaint, and it would be heard. Nolting renewed his denunciation of Flynn and the inspector came forward to defend himself. Friends interfered, and the affair ended. Flynn says: “The district which Nolting has is sa largo that it takes the one man he has on it six hours to go over it once. How the diwll can he sprinkle it three times a day. as his contract calls for? I am here trying to do my duty, and IH be hanged if any of them get a cent for what they don't do.” Inspector Hamm says the district has forty-eight blocks, and that one man can not sprinkle it properly. Nolting ©ays people living on the streets have not complained. To Open Neiv York Street. The Board of Public Works has adopted a resolution to open New York street

from Oriental street to Arsenal avenue. The street will run along the north line of the baseball park. ASKS FOR A RECEIVER.

Rig Four Building Association Sued by a Shareholder.

Oliver P. Slack asks for the appointment of a receiver for the Big Four Building Association, in a suit filed to-day. He says that he took out ten shares in January'. 1S93, agreed to pay 110 a month, and at the expiration of five years was to get the face value of the stock, M.OOO. He says that the time expired January 3 last, and he has not been able to get tho money; that the officers say his certificates are only of the value of $645.54, and that he is not able to get this amount either. Ho charges that the officers of the association have changed its by-laws and are trying to compel the stockholders to accept payment under these. Ho says that he believes that the association Is insolvent, with liabilities of $119,000; that there are $30,000 of matured certificates unpaid, and many thousands more soon due: that the salaries and expenses are In excess of what the by-laws allow: that stockholders of the association have placed advertisements In the public press calling for the co-operation of members for mutual protection against the mismanagement of the officers, and that there is necessity for prompt action by the court In the appointment of a receiver. o Counterfeit $2 Bill Circulated. A $2 counterfeit silver certificate note is in circulation in this city, and within a week a dozen or more have been thrown out at bank counters. These bills have for the most part been passed on saloon-keepers, from w'hom they have been taken by brewers. The seal is printed in a bright colored ink, but It is not of the same tint as in the genuine note. The general expression of the bill is had, but the face of 'Windom is fairly well executed. o PERSONAL AND SOCIAL.

FROM FAR-OFF ALASKA

4\ EYK-WITNRS* DESCRIBES THE AAV FI L SAOHSLIDE.

Many Boats that Go Out from Seattle Are t n * a f e — Exorbitant Charges Made by the British —Much Sickness.

Mrs. W. D. Walker, 1423 Central avenue, has received a letter from her father. Al G. Her key, who is on his way to the Klondike. He writes first from Seattle Itnder date of March 9: Wo arrived In Seattle March 9. At Portland we were solicited in a mild way to outfit there; we were told that In Seattle there was such a Jam of pilgrims that they were climbing over each other to get what they wanted, and had consequently to pay exorbitant prices—any price the merchant saw fit to ask. We found it Just the reverse. While It Is true that at leeist fifty men outfit here to one In Portland, It Is also true that storks are large and numerous and competition is close and prices reasonable. Everybody here from the manufacturer and jobber to the street vender Is "working” the Klondlkers for all they' can get out of them, but this very fact makes prices reasonable. Rooms arc reasonable considering the condition. We pay $5 per week room rent for the three of us. with steam heat and electric light and all the privileges of a good hotel. Meals with all kinds of meat and fish to select from, good enough for anyone, can be had here for 15 cents to 25 cents. Provisions are as reasonable as at home, freight added. The markets are full of fresh vegetables grown here. All kinds of fruit are cheaper here than at home. Grass Is several inches high, and flowers are blooming out of doors. Seattle claims 60.000 population. Her shipping interests are extensive and all kinds of crafts come and go daily. Some of the largest foreign ocean vessels load and unload daily. It is estimatied that $10,000,000 will not cover tho investment here in Alaskan supplies, and the stocks are being depleted and replenished daily. The duties now exacted on American goods going into the country will average 25 per cent, of first cost of goods, except tobacco, which is 50 cents and 55 cents per pound, more than first cost. Surely our Government can bring these worse than robbers to terms by retaliation. Crowded with Gold-Seeker*. The city is crowded with argonauts from all conditions of life. Most are mid-dle-aged, but they range from the boy of sixteen to the old man of seventy. Our outfit will weigh about 5,500 pounds, and consists of two Acme canvas boats, capacity 1,500 pounds each; two 30-30 Winchester rifles and 500 loaded cartridges; one shotgun and 250 loaded Shells; one ton of provisions, mining and carpenter tools, three sleds, three pack straps, tent i i : ‘ove, cooking utensils, dishes, etc. x- or Loading we have two pairs of heavy Mark maw blankets each, one fur robe, oil-skin blankets, sleeping-bag. Our clothing can not be described by letter so as to be understood by the general reader—it must be seen to be appreciated: One Mackinaw suit, one corduroy suit, two sweaters, three pairs heavy woolen socks, two pairs German socks, moccasin®, overshoes, rubber boots, oil tan boots, fur overcoat (short), two pairs overalls, three suits heavy underwear, three heavy overskirts, fur cap, mitts and glove®, broad wool hat, with mosqultobar attachment, medicine chest for the party of four. Our hardware Includes picks, shovels, gold pans, gold scales, axes, hatchet, saws, plane, drawingknife, chisels* brace and bits, bolts, screws, nails, compasses, switch-block, rope, etc. I do not advise any one to go to Alaska. Each person must make up his own mind and take the responsibility ail to himself. We expect to meet hardships and dangers. One of the greatest dangers to be encountered now lies with the ocean transportation from here to Skaguay or Dyea. Every old condemned tub of a boat, from San Francisco to Vancouver, has been refitted and put Into service, and all manage to pass Inspection. The result has been that no less than seven or eight have gone down in the last two months, and many lives and outfits lost, and owners not responsible. Any one contemplating this trip Should wait until he can get a good vessel. But people are like cattle—they stampede, and will follow each other into any old craft, without thought of Its unsafe condition, until It Is too late. March 24.—We sailed Monday, March 21, on the good steamer Queen, on her 355th trip. Our entire route lies in an everchanging panorama of mountains, coast and islands and water passes so narrow that great care has to be used in navigating. Some of them are never attempted at night. There are thousands of islands along this coast of every size and shape, many of them being bare rock. The Corona. At Port Townsend we stopped two hours, and here saw the raised steamer Corona unloading her water-soaked cargo of miners’ supplies, a very sad misfortune to many gold-seekers, who only escaped with their lives and the clothes on their backs. The Corona went down in English waters, and when raised by her owners, was seized by-the Canadians and held by them for condemnation. Uncle Sam interefered and sent the revenue cutter Perry after the Corona and she was towed by the cutter to Port Townsend. Tuesday we tied up at Victoria, I>. C., and walked two or three miles to the custom-house to take out our license, which cost us $10 each. The license is, in substance, as follows: It grants the holder the privilege of prospecting, hunting, fishing and cutting such timber as he may need for fuel and cabin, and no more. When a claim is located, the claimant must report same to the nearest register of claims within a limited time, pay $15 more for recording same and pay an income tax of 20 per cent, on all gold mined. Failing to do these things, forfeits your claim to the crown. We bought some Canadian postage stamps of a merchom/t and he charged us a profit on them. Our party of over 300 dropped over $3,000 in the customhouse at Victoria in about two hours. They would not reaognize United States silver certificates, but demanded gold or gold certificates. Any one coming to this country should exchange paper money for gold and silver. Thev say gold exists in paying quantities in nearly all the streams of Alaska proper, covering an area large enough to furnish good claims to more than a million people, that in ten or fifteen years as good claims will be found as have already been discovered. The American Side Preferable. I advise all Americans to steer for the American sid^-not out of loyalty, but because one can do as well or better and avoid the extortions of the Canadians. As I write, I can see two black bears resting on a rocky shelf of the mountain side. Myriads of gulls follow our boat constantly and feed from the waste. Often they alight in the rigging and are quite tame. A passenger who disturbs these birds is liable to be thrown overboard by the boat crew’, as the sailors think it “good luck and a safe voyage’’ to have them with us. Good music enlivens us every' evening, and all around us we have a good, social, sober lot of passengers. No trouble of any nature has come up —a very happy condition. Soon our mail facilities will be cut off for months, which is the worst feature we shall encounter. We enter Alaska to-night while we sleep. Sheep Camp, Alaska. March 30.—We walked up hero ahead or our goods— fourteen miles from Dyea. and all the way up hill: the last four miles very steep, and all the w ay up a canyon. We did not get here in time ’to pitch our tents: we covered our goods and made our beds beside them. We go a mile up the mountain for good water and w'ood. Sheep Camp is the wildest place I ever struck: for two miles long and a half mile wide tents and log cabins are so thick That we had hard work to find a suitable place to pitch our tents. About 5.000 people are camping here, and are getting their goods up the pass os fast

as they can. Everything is “wide open” here. , , The sanitary conditions are bad, and considerable sickness prevails. We boil all the water we use, when we can not get snow or ice. The prevalence of so much sickness is caused by getting overheated and drinking too much ice-water. Ruled by Lynch Law. Some women go over the trail. We passed a man and wife tugging together at the rope end of a loaded sled. We shall proceed down the eastern slope of Chilkoot pass to Lake Bennett. We can not haul more than three hundred pounds, and make one trip a day. The distance is fifteen miles, and up-hill empty and down-hill loaded. Sheep camp is so-called because somebody herded sheep here and built a cabin in the canyon. It is a temporary city of tents, cabins, with telephone connection with Dyea, stores, saloon®, hospitals, doctors, but no postofflre, no law nor lawyers. Yet in our week's stay here we have neither seen nor heard of lawlessness. Thousands of tons of supplies are piled out, like ours, day and night, and not disturbed. Lynch law is the only law here, and it is effective. Prices here are: Hay, $120 a ton; sugar and salt, 10 cents a pound; onions, 12V2 cents; potatoes, 6 cents; brooms. 65 cents; poor beefsteak. 35 cents; bacon, 30 cents; eggs, 50 cents; flour, 6 cents; two small loaves of bread, 25 cents. Sheep Camp, April 3.—A terrible thing happened here last night and to-day. At least one hundred men and one woman were buried by snow slides. It Is a fearful thing, and our camp is quiet and solemn to-night. Hundreds of men turned out with shovels and joined the shovelers and worked as long as we could in the storm. Many are buried from ten to fifty feet In snow, and their tents can not be found. This morning a large party of those encamped in dangerous grounds undertook to reach safe ground, all holding to a rope so as not to get separated. Another slide caught this party and fifty of them perished. From our camp we witnessed three slides. It is a grand sight. The snow starts down the mount-ain-side with a loud report, followed by a roaring sound like the rumbling of a cyclone or huge waterfall, and to see the great streams of snow and ice whirling down is both grand and terrible. Only for the unhappy results we should wish to remember it always. A large tent is being used as a morgue, and every possible care taken of the bodies. When it is not storming we can see from our camp two huge glaciers of almost indigo blue ice. Often they will open up with a noise like thunder, and great chunks of ice will go. rolling down the mountain-side. Alaska is a wonderful country for scenery as well as gold and dangers. • o CITY PARAGRAPHS.

July Closed at an Advane® of Klgizty Cents.

Chicago, May 11.—The bulls on the Board of Trade to-day transferred their attention from the wheat pit to provisions. Assisted by heavy outside buying July pork was advanced 80c a barrel, July lard .65c a tleirce and July ribs .45c a hundred pounds. The advance In lard was attributed to heavy buying by Armour and Cudahy'. Heavy sales by packers to the Government for army use was at the bottom of the bull movement.
