from nervousness, dizziness, weak
ness, languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallon behind in their
work of filtering ihe Wood and that is
Ule root of the trouble. Look to your
kidneys. assist them in their work ?
give them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than Doans

sufferer in this locality.
Mrs. Jane Mastin, 1016 Nineteenth1

opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills, ex
pressed two and a half years ago, re
mains unchanged. I can only repeat
that I found them to be an excellent
kidney remedy as well as a tonic

THE SHIP CAPTAIN
His Life Pays the Penalty if His
Vessel Be Wrecked.
SAD TRAGEDIES OF THE SEA.
3rav? and Skillful Mariner* Who Went
to Death With Heroio Calmnee*
When Dlintlr Overwhelmed the
Craft Committed to Their Care.
For this la the taw without exouae
For all of the lords of the aea
That each muat hold hi* ship from harm.
Whatever the o<Ma may be.
There are many tragedies of the sea
that the world knows very little about,
or, knowing, very soon forget*. These
are the tragedies of the men whose
Uvea have been spent In the hard and
exacting service which the sea de
mands, whose long years of toll and
seal and skill hare brought the high
responsibilities of command and whose
careers have been cut short by the
fault of an hour? yea. even by the er
ror of a minute.
The old rubric that those who never
make mistakes have had few oppor
tunities for making them docs uot ap
ply here. There is never a voyage that
does not have Its possibility of error,
and In many of them arise the sudden
emergencies which bring the acid test
of presence of mind, cool Judgment,
expert seamanship and skill. Ltt these
qualities fall the master mariner In his
tjpie of need. and. no matter what
might have been the stress of body or
brain, or of both, his professional ca
reer Is at-nn end. If the lapse Involve*
disaster to his ship.
There Is that veteran mariner Cap
tain Frederick Watklns. He It was
who commanded the City of Paris
when the old Inmnn liner came stag
gering to port with the Atlantic waves
swashing about her hold and surging
against her bulkheads, the result of a
fog shrouded Impact with an Iceberg.
Tho liner was thronged with passen
gers. The unforeseen danger came near
to sending her and her thousand souls
to the bottom, but the energy, re
sourcefulness and skill of her com
mander brought her safe to port? a
deed to be long remembered.
It was rememtwred up to a few
years ago, when a slight miscalcula
tion on the part of Captain Watktus
sent his vessel upon the Manacle rocks,
on the Cornish coast. Now you may
search all of the obscure places of the
earth and you may not locate him.
There was the 1'rinxessln Victoria
Lulse of the Hamburg-American line,
which drove hard upon the coral beach
at Port Royal, in the Island of Ja
maica. The vessel was thronged with
tourists, making a Jaunt to the West
indies. Fortunately the ?ea was calm,
and there was no difficulty In getting
passengers ashore. NVhen the last had
been safely landed the captain went
to his stateropm and put a bullet
through his brain.
The pitiable part of It all was that
he had no need to. It was not the
brain he shattered that was at fault
but the Kingston earthquake, which
had destroyed the lighthouse.
Captain Griffith of the Mohegan
stood on the bridge of his fast sinking
ship until the waters engulfed him.
Deloncle of the French liner Bour
gogne, sunk In mkl-Atlantlc by a col
lision with the British steamship Cro
martyshire, was last seen on the
bridge, with hand on whistle cord, as
his vessel took the long dive. Von
Goessel of the Elbe went down with
his ship, standing with folded arms
upon the bridge as the vessel slowly
sank.
One of the saddest tragedies of the
sea was the wreck of the British
steamship Walearapa. which went
ashore on Great Barrier Island while
on a voyage from Sydney to New Zea
land. As the vessel neared the en
trance to the harbor of Auckland a
thick fog shut In. Captain Mcintosh,
who commanded her. had been many
years In the service of the line and
was reputed to be very careful and
capable, but while the steamer was
groping her way through tho mist it
was noted that he was exceedingly
nervous and depressed.
When night came the fog was so
thick that the lookouts could not see
half a ship's length ahead. A few min
utes past midnight there was a sud
den crash, which laid the steamship
almost on her beam ends, disabling all
of the boats on the careered side. Cap
tain Mcintosh was on the bridge at
the time. A great wound which had
been torn In the vessel's side showed
the extent of the disaster. As soon
as he realized that his ship must be
come a total loss the captain strode
to the end of the bridge and, exclaim
Ing "This Is the last watch!" plunged
overboard to his death.? Walter Scott

Paul Flick, foreman At the Ken

sington mine at Seward City, came In
on the Rustler Wednesday morning
from the mines on business and re
turned to Seward City on the same j
boat In the evening. Mr. Prick says
| that within a month actual mining
will commence, and that a big crew
will be worked steadily the year
aroffnd, while the two-mile railway
will be completed iu three weeks.
These mines are twenty-five miles
' from Haines and with but little ef
fort, a large share of the business
that will result from this work could
lie brought to Haines. We should

From Alaska is a Curio, a Souvenir
And an Ornament
The interest shown by the tourist
in the various souvenirs is greater In
regard to the Fossil Ivory than any
other specimen of curios which are
offered for sale by the numerous
stores In the town of Alaska.
Aside from Its beauty as an orna
ment, surrounded as it is with the
gold nuggets, natural In shape and
color, the Interest seems to be en
hanced by the fact that the Ivory is
thousands upon thousands of years
old.
There are three kinds of Ivory found
in Alaska ? Mammoth, Mastodon and
Walrus.
The Mammoth and Mastodon, pre
historic animals, (according to our
scientists) lived a hundred thousand
years ago, and today Is found In the
ground by the natives, on the shores
of the Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea and
l the North Pacific Ocean, and occas
ionally by miners In shafts and drifts.
The fossilited coloring is cau?ed by
minerals contained in the earth, where
it had laid buried for thousands of
years.
H. D. Klrmse has the finest collec
tion of Old Fossil Ivory Jewelry in
the entire district, and It Is well
worth one's time to inspect the beau
tiful stock now on display in this pop
ular jewelry emporium.
