In order to prove the great merit of Ely's Cream Balm, the most effective cure for Catarrh and Cold in Head, we have prepared a generous trial size for 10 cents. Get it of your druggist or send 10 cents to ELY BROS., 56 Warren St., N. Y. City. I suffered from catarrh of the worst kind ever since a boy, and I never hoped for cure, but Ely's Cream Balm seems to do even that. Many acquaintances have used it with excellent results.—Oscar Ostrum, 45 Warren Ave., Chicago, Ill. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no cocaine, mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents. At druggists or by mail. A pain in the chest is nature's warning that pneumonia is threatened. Dampen a piece of fannel with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bind over the seat of pain, and another on the back to him our thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the Most High. Under his watchful providence industry has prospered, the conditions of labor have been improved, the rewards of the husband-man have been increased and the comforts of our homes multiplied. His mighty hand has preserved peace and protected the nation. Respect for law and order has been strengthened, love of free institutions cherished and all sections of our beloved country brought into closer bonds of fraternal regard and generous co-operation. "For these great benefits it is our duty to praise the Lord in a spirit of humility and gratitude and to offer up to Him our most earnest supplications. That we may acknowledge our obligations as a people to Him who has so graciously granted us the blessings of free government and material prosperity, I, William McKinley, President of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 25th of November, for national thanksgiving and prayer, which all of the people are invited to observe with appropriate religious services in their respective places of worship. "On this day of rejoicing and domestic reunion let our prayers ascend to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, for the continuance of His love and favor to us, that our hearts may be filled with charity and good will, and that we may be ever worthy of His beneficent concern. "In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the City of Washington, this twenty-ninth day of October, in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty second. [SEAL] "WILLIAM MCKINLEY, "By the President. "JOHN SHERMAN, "Secretary of State." The three-year-old boy of J. A Johnson, of Lynn Center, Ill., is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he is satisfied that the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, during a severe attack, saved his little boy's life. He is in the drug business, a member of the firm of Johnson Bros. of that place; and they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to choose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call, but selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and famous the country over for its cures of croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling cough medicine they handle, and that it gives splendid satisfaction in all cases. For sale by P. A. Derge. FROM THE ICY NORTH. The Mare Island Expedition Abandoned. Grounded on the Bar at the Mouth of the Yukon—Dissensions and Discontent Among the Passengers. The Ship Caught In the Ice Great Danger Imminent of the Destruction of the Boat—A Rising Tide Floats the Boat Out of Danger—Behring Sea a Sea of Ice—Charley Rogers Helps to Cut Away the Ice to Clear the Boat Many of the Passengers Will Return—Distressing Reports of the Food Supply at Dawson. A correspondent of the San Francisco Call attached to the Mare Island party at St. Michaels, writing from that place under date of Oct. 4, forwards the following interesting account of the experiences of that vessel and her crew of fortune hunters: WEST SIDE OF ST. MICHAELS ISLAND (twelve miles west of town), Oct. 4. At last it has been proven to the satisfaction of her owners that the steamer Mare Island draws too much water to get over the bar at the mouth of the Yukon River, and the expedition that started on the North Fork has been abandoned. On September 24, after the Mare Island had been lightened of what was believed to be enough of her cargo to reduce her draught to that of other steamers that ply up the Yukon River, we steamed away toward Dawson City. We arrived at the mouth of the Yukon the following day. The water on the bar was the lowest it had been during the season, and we settled down in the mud to await a favorable wind and high tide to float the boat over. Neither the one nor the gale direct from Greenland ever since, so we are still lying here, and may do so for a week to come. We anchored about a quarter of a mile from shore, where there is an Indian village. There is plenty of fish and game, and a series of lakes that are frozen solid, which afford us a delightful place for skating and sledding. A large number of the passengers have availed themselves of the opportunity, determined that if there is no profit in their expedition to extract at least a little pleasure. We have paid $500 each to be taken to Dawson City and now find ourselves at a place which we could have reached for an expenditure of not more than $50. Some of the passengers who started with barely enough money to reach their destination have not the means of either returning to their homes or of securing transportation by any other vessel in the spring, for if any of us get to Dawson it will be by other means than the Mare Island. It can never go up the Yukon river unless empty, and then it would have to be towed part way. The plans of the different members of the expedition are at present rather undecided. By going forty miles up Norton Sound by water there is a portage of about 125 miles from Unalaklik to Nulato, which will bring one about 600 miles up the Yukon. Here it is believed gold can be found in moderately paying quantities, and some are now preparing to undertake that long and hazardous journey, dragging their outfits on sleds. The choice is between that and wintering in St. Michaels, which is said to be the coldest place in Alaska. As soon as the weather grows calm we will run into St. Michaels and the cruise of the Mare Island will be ended. Before the ice came down there would have been a riot on board had an attempt been made to turn back to St. Michaels, but one sight of this great restless sea turned to ice was sufficient to bring harmony of ideas and the one great overwhelming desire was to reach that thriving town. Capt. Tyson was fully exonerated and his judgment highly commended. SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS Dr. J.C. Spencer, bacteriologist of the San Francisco board of health, reports that he has discovered the bacilli of tuberculosis in a Chinese-made cigar. Two of the buck deer in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco were killed, one by being gored by a big elk, and the other, which had been caught with a lariat for removal to other quarters, by running into a fence and breaking its neck. Rev. Gilham of a church at McKinney, Ky., preached a sermon there in which he affirmed there was no devil. The congregation took offense and when the reverened gentleman attempted to speak again he was ejected from the house and about twenty pistol shots fired after him. D. P. Roberts, a teamster, was taken to Los Angeles receiving hospital almost scaled. His horses became frightened and ran away, throwing him out of the wagon. He fell, striking his head on a sharp stone, which cut a gash seven inches long in his scalp and tore it from his skull. It was sewed together and he will probably recover. The Texas Populist State Executive Committee held two secret sessions a Dallas last week, and the committee advised the party in Texas to stand by the Omaha platform in all national matters, but in State affairs to support any movement to redeem the State from Democratic-ring rule. This is interpreted as being a bid to fuse in next year's campaign with all elements opposed to the regular Democratic organization on State, county and Legislative tickets. Adolph Johnson, a 16-year-old Clinton, Iowa, boy, while digging fish bait on Beaver Island in the southern part of the city, struck a metallic substance with his shovel, which, when unearth-ed, proved to be an iron box. When opened, the finder was nearly overpowered with the great amount of wealth he saw. There lay gold and paper money amounting to $50,000. It On September 24, after the Mare Island had been lightened of what was believed to be enough of her cargo to reduce her draught to that of other steamers that ply up the Yukon River, we steamed away toward Dawson City. We arrived at the mouth of the Yukon the following day. The water on the bar was the lowest it had been during the season, and we settled down in the mud to await a favorable wind and high tide to float the boat over. Neither the one nor the other came to a sufficient extent to suit Captain Tyson, the commander of the vessel, and, though constantly urged by the owners as well as by many of the passengers, he refused to try to take the boat over until he was satisfied that at least seven feet of water was flowing. Two days of waiting brought dissensions and discontent among the passengers, who, fearing that ice would form in the river, were willing to take desperate chances. A meeting of the passengers was held, but no definite plan of action could be agreed upon. A few advocated taking the command of the vessel from Captain Tyson and placing it in the hands of some one who would start up the river, water or no water, but after an angry discussion of the scheme better counsel prevailed and it was decided to wait another day or two. During the deliberations Capt. Tyson addressed the meeting and concisely stated the exact situation. He had, by diligent inquiry among the shipping men at St. Michael, found that a boat that drew over four feet of water could not get over the bar at the mouth of the river unless there should be an extraordinarily high tide, and even did it pass the first there was a second bar twenty miles up on which it would get stuck; there were also rapids in two or three places in the river with current of eight miles an hour and that the greatest speed that the Mare Island could be expected to make did not exceed eight miles, so that the boat would have to be assisted over these places by the steam launch which had been brought along for towing purposes; that any moment ice might be expected to form and if we should be so unfortunate as to be stuck on the second bar we should be crushed. The day following our departure the steamer Merwin, carrying the passengers of the ill-fated Eliza Anderson, passed us, but grounded on the bar about three miles ahead of the Mare Island. The next day the steamer Alice, belonging to the North American Company, arrived and also stuck. The captain pointed out these facts to the clamoring passengers and asked them to state what would be gained by moving up into shallow water on a high tide when it was so clear that there was not enough water to get over the bar. Some expressed the opinion that at every high tide the boat should go as far as it could and eventually the bar would be passed, but Captain Tyson was firm and said he would not endanger the lives of a hundred people to please a few who were utterly ignorant of navigation. With mutterings of discontent the meeting broke up, but the next morning the quarreling and bickering was resumed. The promoters united with the malcontents in denouncing the captain for being obstinate, and after breakfast two of them took the steam launch and started out to make soundings, with the determination that if in their opinion the water was high enough get over the bar at the mouth of the Yukon River, and the expedition that started on the North Fork has been abandoned.

A. nov With mutterings of discontent the meeting broke up, but the next morning the quarreling and bickering was resumed. The promoters united with the malcontents in denouncing the captain for being obstinate, and after breakfast two of them took the steam launch and started out to make soundings, with the determination that if in their opinion the water was high enough the start should be made. At night they returned covered with icicles and stated they had never passed such a day in their lives. The river was filled with floating ice and it was with difficulty they were able to get back to the ship. They had called on the steamer Merwin, where they had found the five women on board in tears and almost an insurrection among the other passengers. That night the tide was higher than the night before, but an unfavorable wind was blowing and our ship did not move. Presto! change. Next morning a spectacle was presented to our eyes that was enough to make a stout heart tremble. The whole sea around us was a mass of ice, and our boat was frozen solid. The side of the steam launch which lay back of us had been crushed by a mass of ice that seemed to be trying to cover it. The sight of icebergs forming was new to most of us, and in spite of the threatened danger, we watched with a sense of fascination the ice piling up till, in some places, it looked to be forty feet high. Early in the day Captain Tyson, C. S. Rogers, A. C. Cabell, S. C. Milligan, Thomas B. Shipp, George Hansbrough and a number of others took axes and cut the ice away from the ship. They continued to cut it as fast as it formed through the day. Toward evening the weather moderated and a very high tide commenced flowing in; the engine was fired up and about 11 o'clock we had water enough to float us, and an hour later the Mare Island, which seemed for that occasion to be imbued with human feeling, was plowing and plunging seaward. We left the Merwin and Alice stuck fast, and as the ice has not melted I presume they are still there. The Merwin was situated not over a mile from land, and if it can hold together until the ice gets solid her passengers can easily get on shore with most of their goods. We continued our journey till noon of the next day, when the high wind and the rough sea made it unsafe to proceed. So the ship was run in on the west side of St. Michaels Island, in a sheltered spot, about thirty-five miles by water from the town and about ten miles by land. The wind has blown a Trading Company. Her passengers were Charles H. Hamilton, manager of the North American Transportation and Trading Company; Ell A. Gage and wife and Miss Helen Healey of Chicago, W. A. Milligan of San Francisco, Horace McClure of Seattle, W. A. Steele of Seattle, and twenty-five carpenters and longshore men in the employ of the company. Mr. Milligan was a member of the ill-fated Mare Island expedition from San Francisco. The Portland left St. Michael, Oct. 16, stopping only at Dutch Harbor. She brought down confirmatory news of the release of the river steamers Alice, Merwin and Mare Island, which were caught in the ice in Bering Sea off the mouth of the Yukon. The ice floes broke about three weeks ago, allowing the steamers to proceed up the river. All river steamers operating on the Yukon had left St. Michaels and the Portland was last of the ocean vessels to leave. About 150 white people will winter at St.Michaels. Work on the four river boats of the North American Transportation and Trading Company was progressing rapidly at Dutch Harbor, and they will be completed by the time the river opens in the spring.

After considerable parleying Mr. Wright of California was selected, and, after much swapping of affectionate letters and exchanging of photos, arrangements were perfected for a meeting, which occurred last week. Wright is very thin and spare, and will not weigh much over 100 pounds. Notwithstanding the great advoirdupois of his bride he seems not to be a bit discontented. The newly wedded couple are now living in the beautiful residence left by her first husband. Mrs. Laurer thinks she has struck it rich this time. In the Superior Court at San Francisco on Friday Judge Seawell decided in favor of the defendant the suit of John W. Mackay and Richard V. Dey. executor and trustees under the will of the late Theresa Fair, against the city and county of San Francisco to recover $29,532, paid under protest as taxes on bonds assessed at $1,882,000. The plaintiffs claimed that as the bonds were in New York on March 1 they could not be legally assessed in this State. The plaintiffs, however, will have returned to them $3366, collected on an excess valuation of the face of the bonds. John Bell, an eccentric old man of Oakland, who has been living about the town upon the charity of many with whom he became acquainted, claims that he is entitled to a share in the estate of Mrs. E. C. Bailey, who lives near Chelsea, Mass., not far from Boston. Mrs. Bailey's husband, who died not many years ago, was manager of the Herald of that city, and the family is reputed to be worth a sum not less than $3,000,000. Bell offers proof that he is a brother of the lady, and has prevailed upon the officers of the Y. M. C. A. to write to Boston for verification of all he claims to be true. A reply has come, stating that Bell is incompetent and that a man has been selected to provide for his needs. Bell claims that he is rational and able to care for himself. He will not accept the aid offered him, but awaits the opportunity, he says, to establish his Will, whose sanity at the time was unquestioned. The next day an expoliceman named Robert and Will went away on a trip, returning a few days later, and it was then stated that Will was insane. Physicians examined him and he was committed to an insane asylum. Now Will's sweetheart, Annie Kiline, and his step-sister, Mrs. Windshimer, say that on the day of the murder they heard a commotion, and rushed into the room, where they found Will standing at the door trembling, and that he had blood on his shirt. They say Louise was sitting at a table eating, in exactly the same position she was when Mrs. Windshimer left her a few moments before. The stories of the two women have aroused much attention, and a thorough investigation is being made. Mrs. John S. Provost, a widow of Brooklyn, worth over $100,000, married James A. Cutlar, a negro. The couple met in a bicycle academy, Mrs. Provost as pupil, Cutlar as instructor. The news of their marriage was made public only a day or two ago, although it took place last November. The woman, who is still young, was Minnie Demond. Her father, George W. Demond, was a well-known and wealthy business man of Brooklyn. She married John C. Provost, who had inherited a fortune from his father, and she became a society leader and belle. Apparently the young couple lived happily together. A boy was born and the home seemed to be complete. Two years ago Provost was found with a bullet in his brain. Friends said he had shot himself accidentally, but others pronounced it a case of suicide. Mrs. Provost took a swell house and began to patronize the bicycle, and now is married to her instructor. Cutlar is 30 years old and was born in North Carolina. Mrs. Provost is 35. Secretary Wiggins of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce has received a letter from Arthur P. Hayne, assistant professor of olive culture and viticulture at the University of California at Berkeley, in regard to a sprig of wild olives. Some time ago Nathan Johnson, a 16-year-old Clinton, while digging fish bait in the southern part of a metallic substance vowel, which when unearthy to be an iron box.

Postoffice Inspector Frederick and City Detectives Loomis and Berlew of Denver on Friday arrested, in Cheyenne, Wyo., Walter R. Houghton a post clerk running from Cheyenne to Ogden, on a charge of stealing a registered package containing $14,000. A telegram received during the afternoon stated that Houghton had confessed the theft. The package which Houghton is alleged to have stolen was mailed by a Chicago bank to a correspondent in Sacramento, Cal., about Sept. 25. It disappeared somewhere en route, and an investigation by the postal authorities disclosed the fact that the disappearance occurred somewhere between Omaha and Ogden. The secret-service officers learned that Houghton's mistress, who has been staying in Denver for three weeks, had changed three $100 bills, and as the $14,000 stolen was all in $100 bills they at once made arrangements for Houghton's arrest. The woman was at first taken into custody, and her statements went to verify the opinion of the officers. Henry George, candidate of the Jeffersonian Democracy for Mayor of Greater New York, died in Union-square Hotel at 4:45 Friday morning. Death is thought to have been due to apoplexy. George arrived at the hotel about 1 o'clock Friday morning. He had just come from several large mass meetings in the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. The work of the night seemed to have told on him. He complained of being tired, but friends and relatives who awaited him thought it only the natural fatigue that follows such hard campaign work as George had been doing. Not long after reaching the hotel he retired. About 3:30 Mrs. George awakened and found George sitting in an armchair. "I am not feeling quite comfortable," said George. "Won't you go back to bed?" inquired Mrs. George anxiously. "I will sit here awhile," was the response. Mrs. George at once grew anxious as to her husband's condition. George gradually grew incoherent and lapsed into semi-unconsciousness. Mrs. George thoroughly alarmed, called her son, Henry George, Jr., from an adjoining room. George was now unconscious. A call was sent for Dr. Kelly at 115 East Fifty-ninth street, who came without delay. George was still unconscious. All efforts to revive him failed. Without a sign of recognition to those around him, he passed peacefully away at 4:45 o'clock. Mrs. George was prostrated and was cared for by friends of the family at the hotel. The Jeffersonian Democracy substituted the name of Henry George, Jr., for that of his father, as their candidate for Mayor. Secretary Wiggins of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce has received a letter from Arthur P. Hayne, assistant professor of olive culture and viticulture at the University of California at Berkeley. In regard to a sprig of wild olives. Some time ago Nathan Cole of Antelope valley sent in to the chamber of commerce a branch of what he supposed to be wild olives. The sample was sent to the College of Agriculture at the university. In his letter Prof. Hayne states that the sample of wild olive is "Forestera Neo-Mexicana," a gray order of oleaceae, common in New Mexico and adjacent borders of Texas and Colorado, and found sometimes in the Mojave desert. The botanist of the college of agriculture has found it at Dry Lake, Rosewood, Antelope valley, Leonis valley, Willow creek and Willow spring on the west side of Owens lake. Prof. Hayne makes a request for several pounds of fruit for a thorough test as to its possibilities and properties, commercial and medicinal. He also requests that seeds of all varieties of olives from various soils be sent to the college for examination. A pretty little woman and a tough-looking man were found in a piano box at the Northern Pacific freight depot at Seattle on Thursday afternoon. They were stowaways, and contemplated a trip across the continent at the expense of the railroad companies. They gave their names as Mr. and Mrs. A.F. Tyler, formerly of Boston and Exeter, N.H. Fifteen minutes late for shipment on the Northern Pacific freight the night before the upright piano box arrived. It was addressed to a piano company in Boston. The box was stowed away and an expressman told to come in the morning and fix up the receipt. Thursday morning the expressman fixed up the matter. The receipt said that L. Clark had shipped one piano, boxed. At 2 p.m. when the box was placed on a truck to be transferred to the car it was noticed that water was running out of the bottom. Check Clerk Meckstroth went to Freight Agent Allen and said: "Did you ever hear of a piano leaking?" "Never," said Allen. "I want to know more about it." Allen took the cover off the box and was surprised to hear a sweet voice from inside say, "Hello!" After recovering from his astonishment Allen discovered a pretty little woman in nightclothing and a man in abbreviated attire occupying opposite ends of the box. Between them was a pile of food, consisting of bread, figs, crackers, apples and a big can of water. The water was kept in by a wooden plug. Blankets and clothes were in the bottom of the box. They were made to get out, and their attempt to get a free ride across the continent was frustrated. Miss Sarah McLean and Mrs. Martha G. McKenzie, members of the same Presbyterian church at San Diego, sat the town by the ears in their suit in the Superior Court. Miss McLean sued Mrs. McKenzie for $25,000 damages for slander. Mrs. McKenzie is alleged to have cast aspersions upon Miss McLean's reputation for morality Miss Sarah McLean and Mrs. Martha G. McKenzie, members of the same Presbyterian church at San Diego, sat the town by the ears in their suit in the Superior Court. Miss McLean sued Mrs. McKenzie for $25,000 damages for slander. Mrs. McKenzie is alleged to have cast aspersions upon Miss McLean's reputation for morality and veracity. In her answer Mrs. McKenzie alleged that Miss McLean wore men's clothes and acted as if intoxicated. When on the witness stand Miss McLean blushingly admitted that she had worn men's clothes in company with a pretty girl named Murray Bow, but that it was only in fun. She created a sensation by declaring that when they went to Mrs. McKenzie's house that lady laughed and hinted that if the girls could find another suit of men's clothes she might join them in the lark. Mrs. McKenzie groaned when this testimony was elicited, and the audience laughed. She is 200 pounds in weight and very dignified. Later, she testified, and turned the tables by stating that the fair plaintiff staggered as if drunk when she appeared at her house and that besides wearing trousers she had a false mustache. Her clothing was so disarranged as to be shocking, and the girls were told to leave the house. The case was desperately fought by five lawyers and lasted through last week. Ben Scales testified that Miss McLean had told him how on one occasion, a few years ago, she had gone to Kansas City with a gentleman friend, and registered as his wife, in order to defeat the machinations of real estate dealers who were after her uncle's property. Judgment for $1500 was given to the plaintiff. Miss McLean was prostrated after the conclusion of the case. How to Cure Billious Colic.
