There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Selene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment, llall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It Is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. it
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it j
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Alaska Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes |
frori the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick. <
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and j
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes!
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or s..arp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap
proach of dropsy, diabetes and j
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per
manently.
Theodore Josephson, 513 Seventh]
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kidney i
Pills and derived great benefit. At
that time I was suffering from se
vere pains across my back and loins. I
at times so severe that I was unable j
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se
cretions generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney !
Pills were brought to n:y attention
and I procured a box. I used them
and as a result my health is now ex
cellent. I take a few (loses of Doan's j
Kidney Pills now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

Miss Jonah.
(Copyright, 11KJD. t?y American Press Asso
ciation.)
"There's lots of tilings iu the good
book," s:tld C*!ipt:i in Tottle. "that some
people thinks is notliiii* hut big yarns
nowadays, hut some of 'eui are true
today as they was then. Take the
Jonah business. There are plenty of
Jonahs today. I had one of 'em on the
North Star on a trip from Philadelphia
to the Mediterranean, only In this case
Jonah was a woman. My supercargo
he came t<> me fust day out and said
to me: 'Cap'n. that's a tv?man aboard
as Is goin' to briii!; us bad luck. Iler
fust name's Johanna."
"You don't mean to tell me.' says I,
'that you're coin' to start a supersti
tion like that on tills ship?*
" 'It's started already,' says he. 'One
of the men heard the woman that's
with her call her Johanna, and he told
every man in the fo'eastle.'
"We hadn't been out a day before
the young woman had bewitched the
fust and second mate, and if I hadn't
held on to myself mighty tight she'd
'a' got away with me. As for the men,
they had a deadly fear of her. It was
a beautiful, balmy day we sailed, but
by night our sails was tlappln' In a fog
as thick as puddiu'. Miss Meddercroft
?that was Johanna's other name? she
come up on deck half an hour before
the mldwatch come on. kiUKhin" and
jokin' 's If there was somepin funny
in the situation. News had come just
before we sailed that ihe Arctic had
been struck by a vessel In a fog on her
way from Liverpool to New York and
that nearly everybody aboard had
been lost. I see the watch scowlln' at
Johanna and ordered her below. She
only giggled. I couldn't force her be
low, and she stayed as long as she
wanted.
"That fog uever lifted for three
days; then It come on to blow great
guns out of the no'east. Jist when I
was most anxious the ship's doctor
come to me. and he said under his
breath, 'Cap'n,' says he, 'I'm afraid we
got a case of polsonin' aboard.' 'Great
guns!" says I. 'Whose poisoned?" 'The
woman that's travelin' along with fhat
Miss Meddercroft." 'Don't bother me
now while we're drlvin' Inter this
gale,' says I. 'How do you know It's
poison?" *1 took the stuff out with a
stomach pump.' says he. 'It's arsenic.'
'Well, git away from me while I've got
all I can do to sail the ship. IS she
goin' to die?' 'She's dead.' says he.
'Git away from here,' I says, and he
went below.
"The men found out a woman had
died aboard and that she was with
Miss Meddercroft, or Miss Jonah, as
they hnd got to call In' her. We tipped
the corpse over as soon as possible
without ceremony? on account, of tbs
\
went her. I Rive out? and 1 tola one of 1
the men that now It was overboard |
we'd have better luck, so 's he'd spread
It. lie did. but it didn't do any good. I
Miss Jonah come up ou deck lookin' | ;
kind of wild out of her eyes and turn
in' up her face and puttin' out her :
hand. 'Why. it's snow-in',' she said, )
and, sure enough, lookin' on the deck, :
we saw a few line specks. In ten min- I i
utes there was the wo'st snowstorm I
ever seen. You couldn't make a man
In the fo'castle believe but Miss Jonah
had drawed that snowstorm down on
us. The temperature went away down, *
and the wind was howlln' nt a gait of
fifty to seventy knots an hour. Then
what do you suppose happened? The
fo'mast give way. and we swung
around into the trough of the sea.
"I thought we'd roll over sure, but j
we didn't. We got her before the wind ;
and cut away the mast. When tho |
wind went down souie'at we put her
back In her course.
"Jist as soon as we got the ship j
righted the men come aft in a body j
and told ice they was goln' to pitch j
Miss Jonah over. I said we was only J
two days from the Azores, where we 1
wns goln' to touch, and I'd put her off
there. They grumbled, but agreed to
wait.
"The night before we reached tho
islands it was black as ink. I was on
deck, thinklu' about gettlu' rid of our
Jonah, hopin' there'd be no more
poisonln', fogs, snowstorms or howlln'
gales, when I felt a shock. The ship
slowed up for a moment, then went
on. I leaned over the gunwale and
saw a black mass sllppin' by. ' j
knowed it wns a derelict. 1 called up
all hands and went below to look for
a hole. I found one, but not so big
but wo could get a sail over it, and in
this fashion we kept on Into Fayal.
"What was my surprise to find Miss >
Jonah already packed and ready to go '
ashore. I was mighty glad of it, as ,
I'd expected a hard time puttin' her
off. The doctor took her ashore, and |
she went, smlliu' and wavin' her .
handkerchief at us.
"The doctor never comc back. We I
waited and waited, and. hearin' noth- f
in" of him, I concluded to leave him. .
We went on to Gibraltar for repairs,
with clear skies over us and calm wa- I
ters under us. Not a bit of bad luck |
did we have after we got rid of Miss .
Jonah.
"When I got back to Philadelphia 1 I
met the doctor oue day on Chestnut |
street. I was mightily surprised ,
when he told me he had married Miss
Jonah. She'd started abroad with a &
woman she didn't know very well, {
who turned out to be luny and poison- ?
ed herself on the voyage. The doctor
got the girl's confidence, told her of '
the feeling against her, persuaded her I
to go ashore without a scene and mar- j
ried her.
"I'd a thought the suicide was the '
Jonah only the luck didn't leave us |
when we hoisted her over." ?
