"The pill that will," implies the pills that won't. Their name is legion. The name of "the pill that will" is Ayer's Cathartic Pill. It is a pill to rely on. Properly used it will cure con­ stipation, biliousness, sick headache, and the other ills that result from torpid liver. Ayer's pills are not designed to spur the liver into a momentary activity, leaving it in yet more incapable condition after the immediate effect is. past. They are compounded with the pur- » pose of toning up the entire system, removjpg the obstructing conditions, and putting the.,, liver into proper relations with the rest of the organs for natural co-operation. The record of Ayer's Pills, during the half century they have been in public use establishes their great and permanent .v^alue in all liver affections. SOtftYES PAIL TO REACH YUKON The Oldest Mason.

Sixty fortune-hunters who; were en­ gaged in an ineffectual attempt to cross the divide from Dyea and Skaguay into the 1 ukon gold fields via the White and Chilkoot passes returned to Seattle on the •teamships Rosalie and Willamette. They report a distressing state of. affairs along the trails. Less than 1,000 of the 7,000 persons who sought to go over these routes have been successful. Among the Rosalie's passengers wiis Sylvester Sco­ vel. He left his wife encamped at Like Lindeman. In a few days Mr. Scovel, who, with the assistance of a New York paper, has been assisting the miners to "put the trail in better condition, will re­ turn to Skaguay and push on to Dawson City. His mission back, he says,- is to confer with his paper relative to matters of a private nature. Mr. Scovel is of the opinion that the Skhgnay trail can never be made a . prac­ ticable route. It is now in such a condi* tion that possibly 2,000 persons will get ncross, but not in advance of the freeze- up of the Yukon. They will endeavor, to pass the winter on the lakes, so as to make'a rush for the Klondike district as early as. possible in the spring. The heavier outfits are going over the White pass, the total cost of packing being about 00 cents a pound? Horses which were so valuable for packing purposes, the re­ turning gold-seekers report, have come to be a drug on the market. Many are dy­ ing from starvation, their owners refus­ ing to buy feed at the exorbitant prices. Seek Gold in Copper River. One of the most interesting expeditions that have yet gone to the gold fields of Alaska or the Northwest territory ieft Port Townsend last week in a twenty- ton schooner called the Janus, headed di­ rect for the Copper River country. The party is in charge of a man named George J. Rinnacks. who has spent all of five years in the Copper River country and has brought out large sums of money at clif- fernt times, aggregating fully- $200,000. The other members of the expedition are mostly Californians. The party, is in­ corporated as the "Oakland Mining and Trading Company" and starts out under a copartnership agreement that binds them to remain together for two years. Their schooner was purchased at a cost of $1,500, and they put on board $2,000 worth of provisions and supplies. In ad­ dition to this each man is supplied with two repeating rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition; also two revolvers. The schooner Janus is headed direct for Port Hidalgo lagoon, which is a new route for entering Alaska, the Janus party being the first to go in this way. A landing will be made at a point called Turnigar, at the head of the lagoon, a place where 110 boat has yet landed, and which in reality has no official name. In order to reach this lagoon it is necessary to sail through the narrow passage be­ tween Seal rocks and Cape Hinchum- brook--a dangerous undertaking, on ac­ count of the shoals and treacherous cur­ rents. This passage leads into Prince William sound, with opeu-sea sailing un­ til Snug Corner cove is reached, when another narrow body of water must be sailed through, with Bligh's island 011 the left. Here the lagoon is entered and the journey to Turnigar is continued. This lagoon is a narrow neck of water, at places very shallow, which makes it dif­ ficult of navigation. The Janus party expects to reach Turnigar within thirty days. On the way north the schooner will call at Juneau anil Sitka to take 011 board thirty dogs that will be used to transport the supplies over­ land from Turnigar to the Copper River, which will be reached at a point just above Beaver River. From this place the general direction of the river will be fol­ lowed northward, and it will be crossed three times, the final destination of the expedition being Tonsina creek. Six members of the party will be left on Tonsina creek, where Rinnack's partner, Michael O'Donnell, is now holding their claims and doing some work, and the others will be sent eastward to a tribu­ tary of the White River, where it is claimed that location can be made that will not only rival but surpass the famous Klondike. Copper River Indians. Van Burin, a second partner of Bin nacks', says the Indians found near the mouth of Copper River are perfectly harmless, but those found a little farther up are quarrelsome and aggressive. lie claims that the scheme to send an armed force o£ miners to the Copper River for the purpose of driving out the Indians is impracticable. The Indians, he says, are themselves well armed, to begin with, and are good shots. They occupy such formdable positions in the deep gorges and ravines through which the Copper River runs that they could slay an army of white men, 110 matter how well armed, by rolling rocks and bowlders down 011 their heads from above in any one of a half-dozen passes that must be gone through in goint; up the river. "The largest strikes made by my part­ ner. O'Donnell, and myself, said Mr. Rin­ nacks, "were in placer diggings on Teik- hell river, Alta creek, Beaver river nnd Tonsina creek. The largest clean-up made in one day was at Tonsina creek, when $3,100 was washed out. One pan yielded $310. I do not care to state how much we have taken out of the Copper river country altogether. You can put it. down at $200,000. I have with me here papers and receipts showing that it was at least that much." PLAYING WITH £>EATH. England Irritated by tlie Bad Man­ agement in India. Popular irritation increases in England over the conduct of the campaign against the tribesmen in India. There is a cry for such another man as Lord Roberts of Kandahar to crush the growing revolt. In government circles there prevails a reeling of gratitude that parliament is not in session. They know that embarass- ing questions would be asked touching the recent reverses, and that Lord George Hamilton, secretary of state for Indi.*., would find himself sorely puzzled to ex­ plain the culpable dilatoriness that has marked the actions of the India Govern­ ment. People say that officials danced and ban­ queted nt Simla while the rebellion was hourly gaining in force. It took days for Lord Elgin aud his entourage to grasp the situation. They bolieved at first that the tribesmen would disperse upon view­ ing the red coats of the British punitive force--that it would be hardly necessary to fire a shot. These dreams have been shatteied in a tragic manner. A dozen officers and scores of the rank and file have fallen before the unerring aim of the Afridis, Orakzais, Mahmonds and other wild dwellers of the frontier. Many posts have been captured and de­ stroyed, and the fearful work is r.tilj progressing. News conies that the lower Mohmands, whose habitat is south o£ Peshawur, have submitted and have agreed to pay a heavy fine and to sur­ render their arms, but these are only a few of the thousands who are now fight­ ing against British rule. The connection of the Afghan and Rus- I5KV. F. B. VKOOMAX. made a trip to St. Louis to prepare for an expedition to the Yukon. In shaking the dust of a clerical career from his feet Mr. Vrooman takes the op­ portunity to remark upon the uuremu- nerativeness of the profession he is leav­ ing. He says that he received only $25 from the People's Church in the time he served it. It is his opinion that being a clergyman is too expensive a luxury for him and he is tired of it. Mr. Vrooman's controversy with the Presbyterian church and his acceptance of the position of as­ sistant to Dr. Thomas are matters of re­ cent history. COMMISSIONERS ACCEPT. Several Plans "Offered for Solution of Financial Problem. All of the appointees of the sound money commission have signified their ac­ ceptance. Several plans have r.lready been,prepared for submission to the com­ mission. One of these looks to the retire­ ment of the greenbacks, as suggested in Secretary Carlisle's last report, while an­ other is in effect to retire all bank notes under $5, substituting instead silver. Still another proposition looks to a gradual ex­ tinguishment of the national debt, which necessarily will modify the present bank­ ing system, and that the government au­ thorize the organization of national banks, the same to deposit a sum equal to their capital stock in gold or silver. Chairman Haiina is anxious that sug­ gestions be made to the commission, prom­ ising to each careful consideration, as in the preparation of the proposed new financial system every means should be employed to create something which will commend itself to public confidence. BOYCOTT THE POSTMASTER. Hogansville, Ga., Citizens Find the Negro Backed by the Law. The recent shooting of the negro post­ master at Hogansville, Ga., threatens to entail no end of trouble for the people of that tewn. It is stated that two of the most prominent business men in the town will be arrested on a charge of attempt­ ing to assassinate the postmaster. The people of the town have never yet patronized the negro postmaster directly, the old postmaster, Hardaway, maintain­ ing his old postoffice and sending for nnd obtaining in bulk the mail matter for all his white patrons. The ex-postmaster will will be prosecuted for this. When thia action was announced a few days ago the citizens conceived the plan of having their mail sent to the next nearest postoffice and sending a carrier for it. They are now told that this would be in violation of the law which permits only the govern­ ment to maintain a post route. GOV. MOUNT IN DEAD EARNEST. Says He Will Insist on the Indictment of the Osgood Lynchers. Gov. Mount announces that if the pres­ ent Ripley County grand jury fails to in­ dict the men who participated in the Ver­ sailles lynching, he will send Attorney General Ketcham to the county to con­ duct an inquiry before a new jury. There will be 110 relaxation of effort, he says, until the lynchers have been punished. The Governor says he still has confidence in the present jury, but he wishes it un­ derstood that he is deeply in earnest In this effort to have the lynchers punished. A dispatch from Osgood says several persons have suddenly disappeared from that place, and the impression prevails that all the ringleaders in the lynching will leave the State as soon as they find that the grand jury is close after vhem. High Officers Taken. , Eduardo Velasquez, chief of police of City of Mexico; Lieut. Cabreta, assistant chief of detectives; aud Commandant Mauro Sanchez were arrested ant? taken to prison and placed in solitary confine­ ment by order of the fifth criminal judge, to whom had also been turned over twen­ ty-one prisoners arrested for entering the municipal building 011 the night of the re­ cent lynching" of the man who attacked President Diaz. If the police authorities are proved criminally negligent in guarding the pris­ oners they will undoubtedly be severely punished, nnd whoever took part in kill­ ing the prisoner will be held for mur­ der, even if they were merely passively acting as investigators of the crime. : h ,t Chicago Criminul Arrested. Harry Munroe, alias "Frenchy" Nich­ olas, who was arrested in Seattle, Wash., Saturday in connection with a $10,000 diamond robbery, is well known to the Chicago police. Michael Evans, head of the bureau of identification at the Har­ rison street police station, believes he is the man who served several terms in the Joliet penitentiary for safe robbery. Collide Near St. Lonis Depot. A collision occurred near the union sta­ tion in St. Louis between the Outgoing Wabash passenger train and an incoming St. Louis, Kansas City anil Colorado train.

One man was fatally injured and four others seriously injured in a wreck on the Chicago and Northwestern Road in Mil­ waukee. A freight ran into a passenger train. The passengers were thrown into a panic by the collision, but as the pas­ senger train was only running at the rate of six miles an hour none of them \yas injured. > ' • ; Flocds in the vicinity of Val de Prae, Spaiti, on the Jabalon River, have done a great deal of injury. - Crops Are Now Said to Be Entirely : Out of Ita Way. The weather bureau in its report of crop conditions for the week says: The week has been favorable for ripening and securing crops, but in the Central Mis­ sissippi and Ohio Valleys, Tennessee and over portions of the fiddle and South At­ lantic States, it has been too dry for fal­ lowing and seeding of fall grain. The exceptionally warm weather of the first half of the mouth matured corn rap­ idly, and has placed nearly the whole crop beyond injury from frost Owing to drought conditions in some of the more important States the grain, particularly the late crop, did not fill well, and the re­ ports indicate that much will be chaffy. Cutting has progressed rapidly under favorable conditions. Cotton has contin­ ued to open very rapidly and picking has been vigorously carried on. live reports indicate the bulk of the crop will be se­ cured by Oct. 15. The weather conditions 011 the Pacific coast have been favorable, the absence of rain in California being especially advantageous for curing raisins and drying fruit. In Oregon and Wash­ ington the damage to grain by rains of the two preceding weeks is considered light. State reports follow: '• Illinois--Dryness and hont Was broken -lie 14th, and slight "frost in the north half Sat­ urday and Sunday morning, with only slight damage to latest fields of corn. Corn, with late and early, dry aiul much in shock, with •cutting completed this week; yield fair to good, but much light, chaffy corn and some late, fields only fodder. Plowing and wheat seeding resumed under difficulties; drills still running In some .fields. Wisconsin--First of week warm, followed by well distributed rains and decidedly cool Weather, with light frost In low places. Hot weather matured corn rapidly and two-thirds of crop now ripe. - Late plantings require week- to ten days. Gutting being pushed vigorously. Good crop now assured. Michigan--Corn Is good crop; nearly all safe from frost and cutting all under way. Buckwheat fine crop and cutting in progress. In six southern counties fall seeding is still delayed by dry spell, and rain is also much needed to germinate seed already sown. Late potatoes generally matured, but yield­ ing lightly. All fall fruits except pears and grapes yield very poor. South Dakota--Warm days and scattered light rains favorable for corn. The early and middling late well matured and a very good crop generally. The grain of the latest shrunken some In many localities by frost of 16th and 17th and preceding hot wluds, but will make good 6toek food. Nebraska--Corn maturing nicely, and most of the corn crop made and cannot be In­ jured by frost. Wposts In northern counties, but generally light, ana only slight dam­ age done to late corn 011 low lands in a few counties. Large acreage of wiuter wheat heiug sown, and early sown coming up nice­ ly. • Missouri--Good showers In some sections, but over large portions of state drought practically unbroken. Where good rains fell pastures Improving and wheat sowing pro­ gressing. llains too late to benefit corn; cut­ ting completed In many places. Late corn very light and much of It chaffy. Frost would do little damage. Cotton picking progressing, crop greatly shortened by drought. Iowa--Three days hot weather, followed by copious rains and sharp frosts. Greater part of corn crop being matured, the dam­ age by frosts is not extensive. Potatoes and garden truck suffered greatest injury. Plow­ ing and seeding of all grain progressing. Winter apples badly hurt by drought. Indiana--Numerous local rains, aud hot weather ended on Thursday. Light, harm­ less hoar frost formed Saturday morning. Corn matured and dried rapidly, most Is cut and In shock and that still standing Is safe from danger from frost. A fair crop of tobacco Is being housed rapidly. Sodd­ ing wheat progressed slowly only; farmers are waiting for more rain. Ohio--Very warm, sunny and dry until showers 16th; cool and dry since then, with light frost 18th in some places. Late corn, late potatoes, late tobacco, pastures, gar­ dens, apples, grapes, and wheat and rye In ground badly Injured by drought. Early corn about half cut, late generally beyond frost, but not nearly so promising as ten days ago. ALTON NEGROES RISE. Separation of White Pupils from the Colored Raises a Stor.m. The light between the Board of Educa­ tion and the negro citizens of Alton, 111., over the separation of the white children from the black is growing more fierce and the relations between the two are becom­ ing more and more strained. The at­ tendance at the Douglas and Lovejoy schools, the two buildings set apart for the colored children by the Board of Edu­ cation, has been very small, and, on the other hand, the old buildings are over­ crowded on account of the colored resi­ dents insisting on their children attend­ ing the same schools as the whites. Superintendent R. A. Haight has given instructions that the negroes shall he ad mitted, but that 110 recitations shall be heard until they go to their own school They are allowed to remain in the school­ rooms, but only as visitors. There has been 110 serious trouble, but several of the school buildings were surrounded all day Wednesday by colored men and wo­ men who were there to see that their chil­ dren received proper recognition. The members of the board are firm in the stand they have taken, and say that 110 pupils will be recognized or allowed to recite a lesson until they are in the proper building, The stand they have taken is that the city of Alton has been put into one large school district, and they, with the superintendent, have the right to as­ sign pupils to any school they think de­ sirable. They say they are willing, if need be, to have the matter tested before the courts. On the other hand, the col­ ored residents oppose the separate-school plan, and are 110 less emphatic in the stand they have taken, and say they pro­ pose to fight the case to the end. Public meetings have been held and a large sum of money has been raised. They claim the scheme to separate the children is an illegal one. They do not admit even the point of discretionary power which the Board of Education holds is vested in the superintendent of schools. Told in a Few Lines.

I have suffered tvit'h •womb trouble over fifteen years. I had inflammation, enlargement and displacement of the womb. The doctor wanted me to take treat­ ments, but I had just begun taking Mrs. Pinkham's Compound, and my husband Said I had better wait and see how much good that would do me. I was eo siclc when I began with her medicine, I could hardly be on my feet. I had the backache con­ stantly, also headache, and was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it seemed as though my heart was in my throat at times choking me. I could not walk around and I could not lie down, for then my heart would beat so fast I would feel as though I was smothering. I had to sit up in bed nights in order to breathe. I was so weak I could not do anything. I have now taken several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Coin- pound, and used three packages of Sanative Wash, and can say I am perfectly cured. I do not think I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink- ham's medicine had not helped me.-- MRS. JOSEPH PETERSON", 513 East St., Warren, Pa.

Captain Stone was secretary of Ro­ meo Lodge in 185(5, " of Manitowoc Lodge in 1858, aud of Ivane Lodge, Neenah, in 18(34. When lie put Ills demit into Kane Lodge it had just twelve members, but now numbers 115 brethren. Mr. Stone is probably the oldest mason in Wisconsin. Joliet's oldest member of the oldest secret so­ ciety in the world is, like Captain Stone, an active'worker in the news­ paper field, being the editor of the Weekly Record. Whether association with freemasonry or the easy life which attaches to newspaper work contributes to longevity and the ca­ pacity for continued usefulness in old age is a question for scientists to solve.--Chicago Times-Herald. Current Condensations. Gunpowder exerts a force of twenty- three tons to the square inch; nitro­ glycerin, 2(54 tons. "French paste," out of which artifi­ cial diamonds are made, is a mixture of best glass and oxide of lead. The feeling in Cape Colony over the Jameson raid still runs high. A meet­ ing of Dutch and English farmers in a certain town not long ago was called to order in English, whereupon the Dutch­ men left the room in a body. In a raid on the "tramps in the Paris parks recently the new electric lanterns provided for the police were used for the first time. The result was quite up to expectations as far as the lighting powers of the lanterns were concerned. Two members of the Colorado Legis­ lature have been renting their, annual passes on the railroads to traveling men at $15 a month apiece. In the case of one member, who has a Ger­ man name, the fraud was discovered through one of his personal passes be­ ing presented by a man of palpably Hibernian nationality. The conductor could not reconcile the name and the brogue and held the man and the pass for investigation, when the fraud was discovered. At the annual meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Britain re­ cently American competition was one of the chief points of discussion. Presi­ dent Pritchard Martin spoke of the enormous output of the leading Ameri­ can steel works and pointed out that the Americans were outdistancing the British in the uses of steel. He in­ stanced the steel buildings being erect­ ed in nearly all the large cities of the United States, and urged lower freight rates, saying that the present cost of transportation was severely handicap­ ping the British industry, as the rates, not only in America, but in Belgium and Germany, were greatly below the English rates. The observers at the Blue Mill ob­ servatory, near Boston, by menus of kites raised a three-pound meteoro­ graph to a height of 6,056 fee^ above the lull, thus breaking all kite altitude records. Two and three-eighths miles of piauo wire were used, with three Eddy kites hitched tandem. The kites passed through and beyond the clouds, and were only visible at intervals be­ tween breaks in the clouds. The kites and instruments remained at the high­ est point half an hour and exerted a pull of from 110 to 120 pounds. The recording instruments showed that the air was very dry above the earth's sur­ face. The ascension was managed by Messrs. Roteli, Clayton and Fergusson. An Attainment.

Two trains, one weighing 732 and the other 734 tons, ran from Cincinnati to Parkersburg, 2Qu miles, in 8 hours and 3 minutes and 8 hours and 4 minutes, respectively. The run from St. Louis to Cincinnati, 340 miles, was made in 16 hours. Consider­ ing that some of the grades exceeded one per cent., the performance ranks with the best on record and demonstrates that the track and motive power of the B. & O. S. W. must he in good condition. A Beautiful Adjustment. Parke--I have a joint account in the bank with my wife now. I4ine--Good'! You make an even tiling of it, eh?
