Fourth Coutcst for Kern Cup
Begins
The fourth contest for the Kern
bowling trophy began at Elks' club last
night and the defenders, W. W. Ward,
E. M.;Mclntyre;and Ed Barry, won two
of the three frames played with the |
challengers, J. E. Barragar, W. B.
King and F. C. Flaharty.
The notable feature* of the bowling
last night was the high scores that
were made. The cup defenders played |
no game in which they did not exceed
500 and one of their games was within
two points of the highest score that has
been made in a single three-men game
at the Elks' alley. Barragar, King
and Murphy made 554 in one game.
The next game in the cup ^contest
will be played next Friday evening.
The record of the three game* J

ALASKA'S GREATEST
CliRSE GOING
It now looks as if A'aska's greatest
curse, having John G. Brady for gov
ernor, is about to be removed? not by
his res'gnicg, voluntarily, but by him
being asked to take his missionary rags
and quit tue game. Brady has long;
been a fes'.er and rough lock on the
advancement and prosperity of Alaska.
He may have been a success as an In
dian missionary, but it was a fatal mis
take to make him governor, and the
very worst of it that ten year* have
been required to find out just how fatal
the mistake was? % hitehorse Star,

J How He Won the Cross
ft . ? = ? cj
[Original.)
This story of Henry Kavanagh Is
true.
Kavanagb was a British citizen liv
ing with his family at Lucknow. Tlie
long beleaguerment of this towu Is one
of the famous sieges of history. Sol
diers and citizens alike took part In
the defense, and Mrs. Kavanagh was
once wounded, while her husband was
wounded several times. At last It was
announced that Sir Colin Campbell was
advancing with a strong British force
to relieve the garrison. Then came
Kuuoujee Lai, a native spy from
Cawnpur. Kavanagh heard of his ar
?val and that he was going hack to
Alum Bagh with dispatches for Sir
Colin. It was essential that the latter's
advance be hastened aud that he be
furnished with a guide. But it was
next to Impossible for any European
to make his way undetected through
the sepoys, and If detected he would
Immediately be murdered.
Kavanagh volunteered to make the
attempt lu company with Kuuoujee
Lai, aud the offer was accepted by the
commanding officer. Sir James Outrain,
after many protestations that the feat
was Impossible. One stipulation, and
one only, Kavanagh made, and that
was that his wife should be kept In
ignorance of Ms perilous attempt until
Ills fate should be determined. lie
dressed himself as a sepoy soldier, col
oring his face aud other exposed parts
with burnt cork dipped In oil. On re
porting to the general In this disguise
be was not recognized. Having learn
ed the commander's plans, he set forth
with Kunoujee Lai. Proceeding to the
Gomtee river, they undressed and, hold
ing their clothes above their heads,
forded to the opposite shore.
In dressing Kavanagh came very
near exposing his white flesh to a
Sepoy who bad come down to bathe.
They were questioned by a Sepoy of
ficer of the picket, but Kavanagh kept
back lu the dark and left his compan
ion to do the talking. Then they pro-'
ceeded down the river and recrossed
at a stone bridge, unnoticed by the
sentry guarding It, who was talking
with n native.
Passing into the green fields, Kav
anagh pulled up a carrot. Since he had
not had vegetables for five months It
tasted delicious. After walking a few
miles they found they had taken the
wrong direction aud were in a region
held by the enemy. Kavanagb greatly
distressed his comrade by going within
twenty yards of the guns to fiud out
the Sepoy strength. After wandering
about for two hours two women put
them in the right direction. Proceed
ing, they fell in with a Sepoy guard,
who questioned them. Here Kunoujee
Lai became frightened and got rid of a
letter he was carrying to Sir Colin
Campbell.
Then they waded for several hours in
a swamp, and when they emerged
Kavanagb was so exhausted that he
insisted on a short rest. This his com
panion objected to. but Kavanagh took
a quarter of an -hour, then arose and
pressed on. About 4 o'clock in the
morning they managed to steal be
tween two of the enemy's pickets, after
which Kavanagb lay down to sleep.
"Who comes there?"
Could anything sound more delight
ful? It was a British challenge and
told them that their danger was over;
it told them that their mission had been
successful; it spoke encouragingly of
the relief of their starving friends In
Lucknow.
They were within Sir Colin Camp
bell's lines, which they believed to be
miles distant An officer took Kav
anagh to his tent and gave him a glass
of brandy. Then Kavanagh asked the
way to the commander's tent. Meeting
an elderly man coming out of the tent
he asked where be could find Sir Colin
Campbell.
"I am Sir Colin Campbell. Who are
you?"
"This will explain, sir," and Kava
nagh, taking his note of Introduction
from his turban, handed it to the gen
eral. Sir Colin could hardly believe
what had been accomplished. He wish
ed to hear an account of the journey,
but Kavanagh was so worn that he
was obliged to take sleep before telling
the story. When be awoke he was re
galed at Sir Colin'8 table and told the
commander and his staff his adren
tures.
Meanwhile the garrison of Lueknow
bad been signaling, "Is Kavanagb
safe?" but the signal was not under
stood. But now from the relief camp
was given the signal that had been
agreed upon between Sir James Ou
trarn and Kavanagh. A flag was raised
on the Alum Bagh.
Then Mrs. Kavanagb was told that
iier husband had passed through an al
most impassable Journey and had sud
denly become a hero.
Kavanagb guided the relieving armj>
o LucUnow. lie was the first fnan to
enter the city and was received with
??houts of welcome by the starving gar
rison.
There Is one part of the story thaj
ea'i never be written? the meeting be
tween the husband and wife who,
?vheu they last parted, had been but
jrdinary mortals, but who now were
singled for congratulations and honors.
From that day the wife was Mrs.
JaieUnow Kavanagh.
But there is another, a final, scene to
the story. At Windsor castle the sov
ereign of England, Victoria, surround
ed by the royal family and attended by
her bodyguard, holds in her hand a
erosj made of gun metal. A man ad
Vaacus, and the queen fixes the cross
to hl3 breast. lie Is the first civilian
ever to be decorated with the Victoria
cross? Henry Kavanagh.

Suffered for a Long Time Without
Relief? Had Three Doctors and
Derived No Benefit? One Doctor
Was Afraid to Touch Them ?
Soreness Disappeared and Hands
Now Smooth After Application of
CUTICURA SOAP AND
CUTICURA OINTMENT
"For a long time I suffered with
sores on the hands which were itching,
painful, and disagreeable. I had three
doctors and derived no benefit from
any of them. One doctor said he was
afraid to touch my hands, so you
must know how bad they were; an
other said I never could bo cured; and
the third said the sores were caused
by the dipping of my hands in water
in the dye-house where I work. I
saw in tho papers about the wonderful
cures of the Cuticura Remedies and
procured some of tho Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment. In threo
days after the application of the
Cuticura Ointment my hands began
to peel and were better. The sore
ness disappeared, and they are now
Emooth and clean, and I am still
working in the dye-house.
"I strongly recommend Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment to any
one with sore hands, and I hope that
this letter will be the means of help
ing other sufferers. Very truly yours,
Mrs. A. E. llaurer, 2340 State St.,
Chicago, 111., July 1, 1905."
MOTHERS! MOTHERS!
To know that a warm bath with
Cuticura Soap and a single anointing
with Cuticura, the great Skin Cure, and
purest and sweetest of emollients, will
afford instant relief and refreshing sleep
to skin-tortured babies, and rest for
tired and worn-out mothers.
