EAGLES?
DANCE TONIGHI
This eveoing the bi-monthly dance of
the Eagles will take place at the Aerie
on Fifth avenue. This is the second
dince given by the Kagles this season.
The first was such a notab'.e success
that there is sure to be a large attend
ance this evening. The affair is one
restricted to the members of the order
and those whom these members invite.
RED TAPE AND
NOT GLANDERS
Dr. R. B. Coutts, veterinary of the
W. P. & V., and who is in charge of
the horses over which there has been
so much trouble, h<s returned from
Whitehorse. Ha says it is not true
that two of the horses are to be shot.
The two horses which were admittedly
sick of pneumonia and threatened with
congestion of the lungs, will be held
here subject to further inspection and
developments, but that the others will
but that the others will be released acd
ssnt forward for inspection by the Can
adian authorities and if passed py them
will be sent about the business for
which they were brought up here and
for which they are badly needed.
This is the action which Dr. Coutts
says should havo been taken at once,
and would have beea taken but that
someone blundered down below, where
by the authorities so far away as Wash
ington, who could not possibly under
strnd the case, and who necessarily bad
to go slow, were called into it. Red
taDe, he says, has been the cause of the
delay and not glanders.
Col. Sol Ripinski came up yesterday
on the Peterson from Haine*. The
colonel Is summoned to Juneau on the
jury to try the Hasey case. Col. Ripln
ski Is, of course, a strong believer in
the (rreat dlstiny of Haines. He says
there is great activity in the town and
vicinity, great quantities of supplies
being taken out to tin mines on forcu?
pine. Mouut Ripinski, on the edge of
the townsite of Haines, he believes,
will develop into a great iron deposit,
a* a well defined vein of managnese has
beac found there. Col. Ripinski is
engaged in writing a history of the
earliest pioneers of Alaska.

Work In Alaukn
Most Alaska people work every day
in som?i strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over a desk? riding
on jolting wagons or cats ? doing labor
ious housework; lifting, reaching or
pu ling, or trying the back in abut dfcd
and one d ffdrent ways. All the e
strains tend to wear, weaken and injure
the kidneys until they fall behind in
t^eir work of filtering the poi*ons froir
the blood. Doan's Kidney Tills cure
sick kidneys, put new s'.rengtir-in b id
bcickc
W. H. Wood of2")0 cottage St., Sa
lem. Ore., says: *'A good many years
ago I got badlv kicked by a mule right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved in on me
also injuring my back. Since then 1
have had more or less annoyance from
my Kidneys. Change of weather caused
my back to ache and when I worked
hard it became so lame that I could
hardly straighten tip after stooping, I
procured Doan's Kidney Tills at s dri-g
store and since taking them, although
I have continued to work hard and be
exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my former
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doan's Kidney Tills act up 10
representations made of them. I alo
know of other people who h ive derivtd
grea'j benefit from their use. I atngli d
to let others know the merits of Doan's
Kidney Tills for backache and kidney

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all o her diseas?t?
put together, and until the last few
yea' s was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease ard pre
scribed local remedie., and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science hss
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disea'e and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hull's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by P. J. Cheney & Co ,
Toledo, Ohio is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and nTucous surfaces of the system,
they offer one hundred dollars for any
case it to cure. Send for circular
