Thus all told there ore on their way
to the Klondike today try the water
route 1)502 passeiiKers In t weiity-nliie
vessels. These tigures have not lieen
xuggcruted hut are taken from the pas-
wenger lists of the vessels whose names
sire given. The Ilsf of vessels Is as
complete as could jKissllily 1m; compiled.
Unquestionably some parties have got
jtwny by the water route whose depart-
ure has lint been reported to the news-
papers. Hut as It Is nearly 10000 per-
sons have taken this method of reaching
'the land of gold.
So contradictory ore the reports which
ouie from those who claim to have
knowledge of what it will cost to reach
the Klondike and the necessaries of life
one must have In his possession to as
sure against starvation that It Is al-
most folly to accept the word of any
ne as Husolute. Therefore It Is of In-
terest to know what on the average
'these gold seekers carrry with them.
.Not all not even the major (Mirtlon of
the emigrants will he able to make the
journey by water. Plenty of them will
have to brave the dangers of Chilcoot
1'uss. with Its record of death and
starvation.
If we average the possessions of each
gold seeker It will not reach the sum
fit .$50 per individual. This assertion
uvlll no doubt be derided by those who
'.optimistically declare that almost every
one of the fortune hunters has money
enough to see 111 ni through. That Is not
true. Many a man has started from
there to the Klondike witli 'barely enough
to live on for a few days after he has
reached the mouth of the Yukon trust-
ing to good fortune to help 'him com-
plete the journey to the promised liuid.
From the most authentic sources It is
learned that the water front at Dyca
ami Sknguay bay Is lined with prospec-
' tor's tents. Any number of those who
wont north from here expecting to get
transportation over the divide have
found that unless they wish to brave
the ihtIIs of the unknown without guide
vr detiulte Idea of the necessary knowl-
edge required to assure a safe passage
they must wait for weeks lxfore coiitln-
mlng their journey. 1'lenty of these
persons are beginning to realize that not
liefore next spring they will see the
hend waters of the Yukon.
This will be the. experience of at least
:W) ih.t cent of the persons now on the
water on their way to the Klondike.
Now vhut will lie the result? On this
point at least the majority of the ex-
lierlenced ones agree. It Is made up
la one word starvation. The British
government or rather the government
of Canada has stationed men at every
point where the emigrants make on en-
try Into the Canadian portion of the
Klondike country and no person with-
out nt least n year's supply of provls-
'joiuLi allowed to proceed. There is no
such regulation attout going to the en-
trance to the land of gold and here It is
that a horde of hungry would-be pros-
pectors must linger nil winter with no
money and no friends.
Then when those who can not go by
'the water route but are well supplied
with provisions and fairly well oft for
money reach the point of beginning of
the overland journey they will learn
that It costs not less than $400 a ton
to transport provisions to the final point
of destination. How many of the gold
hunters can u fiord to pay these prices V
There In but one alternative and that is
to Btay nwny until next spring unless
they send home for more money and
oven that means a long wait.
Many of the steamers mentioned as
lieing on the way to the Yukon are heav-
ily loaded with freight. Aboard the
-Alkl were fifty head of pack' horses nud

the uniiie number of cattle all intended
for the Klondike. The Rapid Transit
took all the freight she could carry. The
Wllllamette took ."00 horses. The South
Counts carried the tug boat (iovernor
Stonernan as part of her cargo as wen
as the steam launch Flren.i and several
uniiiii litrhters. The National City car
ried the launch llattle B. In fact it is
estimated that when the fleet of vessels
mentioned reaches Its destination nt
least a thousand horses mules and cat-
tle will have been transported by them.
This In addition to tons and tons of pro-
visions. The best equipped and provisioned of
all the parties are those which have or-
ganized and chartered vessels. As a
rule these have taken the precautions
to arrange In udvance ways to combat
nosslble emergencies and carrry the
members through all kinds of hard
ships. The parties aboard the South
Coast and the Fanilloiie are excellent
examples of these. The explanation of
their foresight lies In the lact that they
were organized and ollicered by men
who knew the country to which they
were going and to whom placer milling
In the roughest surroundings was not
a matter of hearsay.
All sorts and conditions of men is the
only lit way to describe the vast com-
pany that is aboard the lleet of vessels
referred to. Among them was the may-
or of an Illinois town who had capitulat-
ed to the blare of the trumpets of the
returned miners thrown aside nil the
honor and emolument which ollice
brought him and joined the Klondike
ranks. In the same party were four
bell boys of the Pulace hotel .it Sim
Francisco. On another vessel went
the nephew of Russel Sage of New
York. On still another was the son of
that old time and famous grain specu-
lator whom the world knows as "Old
Hutch."
One must not forget the women.
Whenever they could crowd in they
went. ot a man In any of the parties
faced the possibilities of starvation ami
death with a stouter heart than some of
these feminine seekers for gold. The
example of Mrs. Iterry and the other
women who have returned with both
health and riches has simply set on lire
the ambitions of the poor and energetic
feminine of this part of the country and
the result is seen on the passenger lists
of the outgoing vessels
After the l.ith of September it will
be paying court to death to nttempt to
reach the Klondike. l'et there are
thousands of men in this city today per-
fectly ready to face all this if they enn
get transportation to the Yukon. Men
who have looked on the gold fever in
various parts of the world for half a
century say there was never anything
that approached the fever that has
seized so many victims and of all
classes. "On to the Klondike!" is heard
on every side and fortunate Indeed Is
the man considered who liuds a way to
achieve his ambition.

Presbyterian day and on that day a
large excursion party of members of the
Young People's Christian Union will at-
tend. This party will come on n special
train from Indianapolis reaching Nash-
ville tomorrow night. On Tuesday
night there will be a notable event the
appearance of Miss Marie Iouise Rally

been awarded the most flattering testi-
monials by the musie world of Merlin
and Vienna. Miss Rally returns to
Kurope soon and has consented to play
in honor of her state and city.

Memphis. Aug. 22. The regular
monthly cotton crop report fur the
Memphis district which embraces West
Tennessee North Mississippi. North
Arkansas and North Alabama to lie
published tomorrow will say:
The weather during the month lias
been favorable for cotton and quite an
improvement in the condition of the
crop is noted. (Jencrons rains have
fallen in every section of the Memphis
district and the plant lias made rapid
growth and development. The change
in the general outlook from early in
July is marked. A fear of failure to a
large portion of (lie crop has given way
to confidence in the future. Three hun-
dred and eighty-four out of 444 corres-
pondents report the plant as forming
blooming and boiling well and only sixty
say to the contrary. Three hundred
and twenty-eight report the crop in good
condition fifty-four in fair condition and
sixty-two in poor condition. Three hun
dred and ten report it in better condition
than Inst year nt this time eighty-lour
not so good and fifty the same as lifst
year. The crop as a whole is fully
three weeks later than last year and
while picking will begin in all tlie four
states early in September il will not
become general until towards the close
of the month.
Of the corn crop one hundred and
sixty-two report it in good condition
fifty-two in fair condition and two hun-
dred and thirty in poor condition. The
yield of this ccrenl was cut short by
drouth nnd in many sections not more
than half a crop will lie garnered.

THE FITIR1TV.
;reiil ear-Old Event to Be Han
nt Sheepxhrad Bay Tuesday.
New York. Aug. 22. The greates-t 2-year-old
event of the year the futurity
is to be rim on Tuesday at Sheepshead
bay.
Howland. the sou of Hindoo and Imp.
Rochet will likely be favorite. The
horse however which has shown himself
to be unquestionably the best 2-year-old
of the year is not entered.
'If Hamburg were only entered." said
his trainer Charles Patterson today. "1
would not have any fears as to the re-
sult. He is the U-rter colt of the two.
and is in condition to run the race of his
life. He is the best race horse I ever
saw. and I own Ornament.
"Howland performed well at Memphis
and those who saw him l-canie so en-
thusiastic that they declared him nn-
lieatable. Howland had the call over
Hamburg. o let him keep it."
Trainer Patterson nevertheless thinks
Howland has the best chance fur tbe fu-
turity. On Friday last Howland was sent thrt-e
quarters in 1:1 1-1. tbe best time he Las
vet made at the distance. This morn-
ing he was sent out for a "breather." but
was not allowed to fully extend himself.
Several caught him in 1:17 time. Ilitba.
Clayton or Wilhite wD! ride him Tu--day".
The second choice in tie beniLg is Lke-
ly to be Thompson's entry. The Hugue
not or iJibraJtar. ice lormer is a t-rotn
or to Henry of Navarre and has won
two races so far. He arrived tonight
from Saratoga.
Gibraltar is fresh in the public's mind
as the conqueror of Frohman and Varus
in the undergraduate stakes at Brighton
Beach lafct Tuesday. If the track is
heavv he will bear watchice.
Mike Dwver's Previous has not b-en
iierforming very satisfactorily of late.
but it is said that Saratoga had done
wonders for him and that he will be up
to the form displayed by him when he
won the great American stakes at
(Jravesend. He will have the advantage
of Sims on his back.
Plaudit the likely son of Himyar and
Cinderella is at Gravesend. but is re-
ported to be a little under the weather.
O. H. Belmant's Great Bend. J. E. Mc-
Donald's Central Trust J. (J. Folan's
Beesmerillo. J. S. Kenne's Uriel and
Ilayman and Frank's Demagogue have
all been seen in public nnd will un-
doubtedly be seen at the post in the fu-
turity. Their chances however- are
considered those of outsiders. Central
Trust worked three-quarters over the
Sheepshead Ray track this morning in
1:10 1-4. Dave Gideon's Frohmun will
also likely lie a starter but he is a
very different horse today from what
he was in the spring.
At least a dozen youngsters will go
to the post in the futurity and the
stake will lie worth In the neighborhood
of .fl.-.OOO.

supposed to be incurable. For u groat
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies aud
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it iucnrablo. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure
manufactured by F. J. Choeney & Co.

on the market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoouful. " It

faces of the system. They offer cue hun-
dred dollars for any case it fails to cure.

ment in the county jail. Adolph Ijuetccrt
the rich sansnce maker was put on trial
cbarcod with tbe murder of his wife be
fore Jndce Tuihill in the criminal court to
day. The b;c sausacr maker has declared
to his attorneys ex-Oudse William A. Yin

Tbe tbr'Ty of tbe stav is that Luctcert
induced bis wife to accompany him to his
slee-pina apartment in tbe factory office
and there stranded her. Then he is
tboncbt to have taken her body to the base-
ment and have immersed it in a vat filled
with a solution f caustic potash heated to
tbf ImiliM: point. What remained of the
body after this process it is alleged was
gathered together and thrown into teh fur-
nace of ODe of tbe factory K.ilers. The fire
had been kept up under one of the boilers
ut-ou express orders given by motgert to
his watchman Frank Fialkik. The state
has made several experiments in support
of this theory.
I.uotg.-rt's attorneys will also experiment
with crude potash with the results that
they hope successfully to combat the testi-
mony to be introduced by the state regard-

Said Manager Dermody of the Galveston
team today: .
'"Galveston will claim the Ilernsheim
cup. The cup will be awarded to the
champion club at the fall meeting of the
league. Galveston paid salaries up to
the close of the season. The last se-
ries of games was scheduled with Hous-
ton. Houston disbanded and we were
idle the last week of the season but it
wus not the fault of Galveston. Gal-
veston did not disband."
A Remarkable Care of Chronic
Diarrhoea.
In 1802 when I served my country us
a private in company A 107th Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers I contracted chronic
diarrhoea. It has given me a great deal
of trouble ever since. I have tried a
dozen different medicines and several
prominent doctors without any perma-
nent relief. ?iot long ago a friend sent
me a sample bottle of Ohamberlain's
Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I can not be thank-
ful enough to you for this great Reme-
dy nnd recommend it to all suffering vet-
erans. If in doubt write me. Yours
gratefully Henry Steinberger ' Allen-
