FIRST OF
THE SEASON
The first death of the season by freez
ing is reported from the Valdez over
land trail, and from now oq these
stories may be oxwcted to materialize
weekly, says tha Tanans Miner.
While out hun'.ing the break in the
telegraph wire on Monday between
Donnelly's and McCarty's, the linemen
mat the man at a point where the wires
followed the trail. He said he expect
ed to make the roadhouse that night
and did not appear to be badly played
out. The linemen went on with their
task, and after finding: repairing
the break returned to Donnelly's. Fol
lowing along the telegraph wire, which
dnes not follow the trail, they saw tha
place where the man had turned off to
go over in the direction of the trail,
and, as this was not far froa Donnel
ly's they expected to find him at the
station when they arrived. They
found, however, that he had not showed
up, and a party was at once started to
find him. His frozen body was found
within a mile of the station. It w?a
apparent that he had succumbed to fa
tigue and had lain down and given up
the struggle that lie could no longer
maintain against 'the intense cold for j
which he was not prepared. There
were no papers on the man's person by
which he could be identified.
One of the linemen had his feet very
badly frozen and the other suffered in j
the same manner la a lesser degree. |
They report that there has been a fall i
of about three feet of snow and that ,
the snowshoeing through the heavy
drifts has been vory hard and slow '
work.

mas presents. Come up to Tony Dor- 1

ill health, but there is no rieed to buf
fer nor to remain in danger when all

weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Doan's

P. Lammy, 121 North Terry Av?. .
Seattle, Wa*h.,snys: "It is now three
years since I gave a testimonial reco
mmendiug Doan's Kidney Pills after
'he prompt and satisfactory mauner in
vhich this remedy had relieved me of
<Idney trouble which had affected me
iff and on for a number of years. Just
prior to using Donn's Kidney Pill, my
suffering had become more severe, and
one day, I was taken suddenly with
attacks of sharp p tins through my 'olns
and bladder. 1 sent for a doctor who
finally used a catheter. This gave me
relief at tho tim?* Hit still I had tronble
afterwards with irritation of the b'adder
and with the disordered action of my
kidneys. I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills, ami they acted vtry promptly and
directly on the parts affected, so that
the bladdea trouble disappeared and in
other ways I found preat relief. This
was several vears ago but still I am a
hearty advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and recommend them to all suffering
from kidney trouble.
