The hardwuro company has made a ten years’ lease through John Wocher, agent of the Schmidts, and will move into the new builuing as soon as It is ready for occupancy.

PRICES AT DAWSON CITY COL. W. G. YOUNG RECEIVES A LETTER FROM HIS BROTHER. ♦ Costs 80.50 to Get Shoes Half-Soled—-i'luia Meal, fll.flO—Candles. 81 Each. * Col. William G. Young, of the Capital National Bank, received a letter on Friday night last from his brother, David C. Young, formerly of San Francisco, hut now of Dawson City. The letter was mailed Nov. 17, and was fifty days in transit. Mr. Young sailed from San Francis?o on his trip in search of gold on July 27, landing in Juneau on Aug. 7. His brother had not heard from him since he sailed and is much relieved to find that he passed the dangers of the Chilkoot pass in safety. 'The letter, not being written with any idea of its being published, is not as full of details as it might be, but it nevertheless gives a vlvd glimpse of the mining camps of Dawson. To those who cannot seek out the new Eldorado, it is some consolation to hear that a meal of bacon, beans, coffee and bread costs $3.50 in the gold fields. Places where gold is less plentiful are thus not without their compensating features. The mining is done in winter and not In summer. The letter, with the personal matter left out, Is as follows: ”1 reached here on the 3d of last October. This Is not much of a place, about 900 people In all. Most of the minors live up and along the creeks. I was up some thirty-five miles last week, and saw all of the best mines. They are not working the mines any now, waiting for it to freeze down solid before they begin work. They have to drift under the river and creek and get the dirt out on the bank ready for the water, when it thaws in the spring. Then they make a clean up and they are through until the next winter. I may go to work when they start up; at least, I am entered to try for a job at sls a day. No boats got up the river since June, and the town is snort of provisions. Can’t bay anything from the stores. Some people are selling out what they brought in at a big price and going out on the ice, a trip of 700 miles. It has been at zero and as low as 34 below this month. Flour is selling for $2 a pound, fresh beef, $1.25 and $1.50 a pound, and beans, bacon and dried fruit at $1 a pound. There is one man running out what he brought in in a restaurant. He is charging $3.50 a meal. (Bacon, beans, coffee and bread make the bill of fare.) To get your shoes half-soled and heels tapped, costs $9.50. Everything is high. Whisky and cigars are 50 cents each. A broom costs $1.50, tin washpan $1.50, one candle sl, and everything else in the same proportion. The hotels are all closed because they can't buy any groceries to run on. I don’t know or can’t form an idea how I will colne out this time. “It costs a dollar to get a letter cut or in. They are carried by Indians with dogs and on snow shoes.”

THE PLYMOUTH LECTURES. Evans Woollen on “Formation of the Government.” Evans Woollen spoke at Plymouth Church yesterday afternoon on “The Formation of the Government,” in the lecture course for the benefit of pupils of the schools of the city given by the McCulloch Club. Mr. Woollen treated the subject from the standpoint of the statement by John Quincy Adams that “Our Constitution was extorted from the grinding necessities of a reluctant people.” Referring to the circular letter sent out by Washington in June, 1783, urging the formation of a union under a single government with the grower of enforcing its orders and urging a more selfsacrificing and friendly spirit among the colonists, he said: “It seems strange to us, does it not, that after the colonists had fought side by side for nine years against a common enemy there should be need of this kind of a letter from Washington? There was, however, great need of it. Washington never did needless things. The united Nation which the war of the rebellion guaranteed for all time did not exist when Washington wrote his letter. Instead of It there were thirteen separate, quarrelsome little nations. These separate, quarrelsome little nations did not have a3 much in common as the Canadians and we now have in common. The colonies held together pretty well during the war, but when the war was over the necessity for union no longer existed and they fell apart." Among “the grinding necessities” which compelled union was the necessity for a national currency to take the place of the paper money, which the speaker thought had done more to injure the colonists than had all the armies which King George sent over. The mercantile political economy, resulting in intercolonial tariffs and an English navigation law, together with the desire for a retaliatory American navigation law, was spoken of as a potent Influence for union as it had been a potent influence in bringing about the separation from the mother country. Washington’s part in the constitutional convention was prefaced by the statement that his career in statesmanship has guaranteed his fame even more largely than his career in generalship. The making of the Constitution was treated with a view to showing how out of it came the three questions which have made up the larger paijt of American history since—the slavery question, the paper money question and the tariff question. TRAPPED A*SWINDLER. A Well-Known Man Who Claimed <0 Be Dr. Clark’s Nephew. A stupid swindler attempted to defraud Charles T. Whitsett oi $lO Friday night by using the name of Dr. E. D. Clark, secretary of the Board of Health. After his trick was exposed, he made the most abject apologies and was permitted to go without punishment. Dr. Clark and others who know of the affair refuse to give his name, but say that he is a business man with a respectable family. They think that he would never have made the attempt if he had not been partially Intoxicated. Friday afternoon Mr. Whitsett answered a telephone call at his office. “This is Dr. Clark talking to you,” said a voice, “and I want to ask a favor of you. If my nephew calls on you I hope you will give him a good talking to. He is drunk and I think intends to ask you l’or money. If he does, let him have it and I will see that it is paid.” Mr. Whitsett, while regarding the request as strange, promised to comply. In a very few moments a well-dressed man considerably under the influence of iLuor appeared, said he was Dr. Clark's nephew and asked far $lO. “I can’t give it to you,” said Mr. Whitsett, “as my cashier is out of the city. If you will come around in the morning ” “I’ll come in the morning,” said the stranger, as he politely bow**! hirtiself away. Mr. Whitsett called up the Board of Health office. “Jerry” Collins answered the telephone, telling Mr. Whitsett that Dr. Clark had not been in the office since 5 o’clock. It was then nearly 5:30. “That’s strange,” said Mr. Whitsett, “1 just got through talking to him a few moments ago.” “He must have called you up from his residence—try 186.” At Dr. Clark's residence Mr. Whitsett was informed that Dr. Clark had not yet returned. Mr. Whltestt left a message for Dr. Clark to call him up. Before Dr. Clark gut home there was another message asking him to go to 597 Shelby street immediately This message was evidently sent by the swindler, who hoped to get Dr. Clark out of the way while he was working his game Before starting on what proved to be a wildgoose chase, however, Dr. Clark called up Mr. Whitsett asd wa rather dismay* and when he heard the Inquiries concerning his “nephew”—Dr. Clark is not old enough to have grown nephews —and informed Mr. Whitsett that the man was a fraud and requested that he be arrested. After supper, while Mr. Whitsett was at home, a messenger boy came to his office with an order for the money from the fellows It was received by Mr. Whitsett’s son, who at once telephoned his father about it. Mr. Whitsett had promised to recognize an order for the money from the fellow. When his son informed him that it had been presented he told him to put the messneger boy off with an excuse and tell him to return the next morning. When the boy returned yrsterdav morning Co.lins and another Board of Heaiih employe followed him to the drug store,

from which the telephoning had been done. The druggist did not know the man, but. was acquainted with another man who did. From the second man Coilins and the other amateur detective learned the swindler’s name and address, and at once found him. “We want you to go with us to Whitsett’s,” said Collins. The fellow, wilted. “It’s all up,” he said, losing color. “I admit that I have been there.” He accompanied them willingly enough. He confessed to Mr. Whitsett and Dr, Clark that he was guilty of the whole proceeding, including sending Dr. Clark off on a false call to the wilds of Pleasant run. Dr. Clark and Mr. Whitsett were very much surprised when fhey learned the man’s name. Both of them had heard of him many times before, and Dr. Clark had seen him frequently, although unacquainted with him. The publication of his name. Dr. Clark says, would provo his ruin and would needlessly humiliate and disgrace his family. “I was angry enough Friday night to have had him arrsted,” said Dr. Clark, “but by morning I felt like relenting, especially after learning who he was.” THE OLD WAYNE MUTUAL LIFE. ISO 7 A “BANNER YEAR”—LI ABILITIES AT ZERO. Over $830,000 In Death Clnlmn FnidCinKses for Voting. MiddleAged and Aged. The past year, taken as a whole, notwithstanding the many failures that were chronicled throughout this country, seems to have been a very prosperous one with solid institutions. At least, this can be said of the old Wayne Mutual Life Association, who are ensconced in large and spacious quarters in the Commercial Club building. This company was incorporated March 22, 1883, and, by careful, energetic management, have up to the present time 7,682 policies in force, calling for $12,565,250 of insurance in force. They have no liabilities, while their assets amount to $57,836.88. The amount of death claims paid is over $530,000. The entire amount of insurance written to date is over $95,000,000. Eighteen ninety-sev-en has been a banner year with this company, having multiplied by three their policies in force, assets, etc., and still liabilities remaining at zero. The old Wayne is founded upon scientific principles, and issues three distinct policy contracts (with the latest approved conditions; for the young, middle-aged and aged, divided in three classes. Senior Class A insures from sixty to eighty-five years, inclusive, with the policy in full force at the end of one year, twelve assessments (monthly) in each year being made. The limit of insurance issued in this class is $4,000 on any one life. By paying double the monthly rate of assessments the company Issues a special policy contract, thereby placing it in full force from date of the applicant’s acceptance by the company. This company prides itself on being the only one In existence furnishing a safe and permanent plan of insurance for people of advanced years. Fifteen years of successful experience in this line is a guarantee of their reliability and a safeguard against all possibility of nonpayment of risks as they become due. Over seven thousand paying policy holders are embraced in this class, an Increase of 4,600 as compared with the year previous. In Junior Class A policies are in force from the day of issue, and applicants insurable from eighteen to fifty-five years, inclusive. In this premiums are payable annually, semiannually or monthly, being optional with the insured as to which mode of payment he prefers. Losses guaranteed. Full payment at death or end of expectancy of life, with paid-up insurance and cash surrender options. Loans are made on these policies at reasonable interest and are accepted as security and absolutely nonforfeitable after three years. Insurance to the extent of SIO,OOO is taken on any one life, and all losses paid within thirty days after receipt of proofs of death. The premiums on these policies are about the same as those charged by old-line companies on their straight-life policies—only this company eliminates the feature so objectionable to the majority of.polic’’ holders by not paying dividends on inh ited premiums. Risks taken in Senior Class B are in full force after three years and insurable at the age of eighteen to seventy years, inclusive. In this class premiums are payable bi-monthly (six per year) and losses are paid in four annual Installments. This class has only recently been inaugurated by "the old Wayne,” Sept. 22, 1897, being the date of beginning, and has already proved with so much success that $625,500 of insurance was written in this class. Under this plan $2,000 insurance can be carried for the same amount SI,OOO would cost in any good company where policies are in full force on date of issue, the only difference being the insured is required to carry a part of his own risk during the first three years. Insurance to the extent of $5,000 can be had in Class B up to age of sixty-five. Special policy contracts are also issued, rendering the policy in full force from date by giving the privilege of paying double the bi-monthly premiums. Their February bimonthly premiums will exceed $2,500, which will be added to “Class B” reserve fund. Never having had a loss in this class, they confidently expect to have over $20,000 within one year in the fund to guarantee the payment of all losses in full, and within five years, at the present rate of increase, this fund will amount to over SIOO,OOO. This is the only company which has for the past sixteen years—the length of their existence—paid every just claim within ninety days without a suit at law. It seems their policy contracts, when intelligently and honestly explained, are preferred to those of many others. In short, the “old Wayne” has the entire confidence of its policy holders and the insuring public, accounting for the immense business they enjoy. With a continued increase from year to year, each succeeding one being in excess of the previous one, is proof of the entire satisfaction given their patrons.
