Savage, a young physi cian of Hartshorne, I. T., returned to Kansas City last night from the Klondike whither he went August 6 last. He arrived in Dawson City September 23, and remained in the gold fields until December 26, when he started to return home and has been eontinually traveling since that date. In coming out he used a dog team to haul provisions and utensils for which he and a partner paid $1,000 apiece. With the aid of the dogs they made the long overland journey from Dawson to Juneau. Both men walked the entire distance of 700 miles. Before he went into the Klon- dike, Dr. Savage, who is 30 years old, weighed 140 pounds. Last night he weighed 175 pounds. He had secured several rich elaims on Eldorado and Bonanza creeks He has also six claims on the “Mother Lode,” whieh he claims are very rich. He made money during his stay in Alaska. He will return again in the spring and will be accompan- ied by C. W. Clapp of Kansas City, who 1s a member of the real estate firm of E. S. Truitt & Co. The doctor denied that there is any sufferiug among the miners. The There is no ? About it. No question indeed with those who have used it, but that Foley’s Kid- ney Cure is absolutely reliable for all Kidney and Bladder diseases. J A Trimble, druggist. Governor Stephens and His Work. For some time past there has been a disposition in certain quarters to crucify Goy. Stephens as a ‘“‘dishon- est man and an embezzler” It is) plain that the disgruntled gold democrats have inspired the shame- ful attacks made upon the present governor of Missouri. But we do not anticipate that Gov. Stephens is spending eleepless nights over the matter. In the time that he has served the people of the great State | of Missouri Governor Stephens has shown exceptional ability as an offi- cial, and his friends are justified in pointing with prida to the record made. The fact of the matter is Gov. Stephens is one of the best! democratic governors Missouri has | ever had, a man whom men of all} parties delight to honor. All this is! a healthy symptom for the demo- | cratic party and for the State. Gov. Stephens bas made the democratic party a progressive organization, which attracts disinterested young very necessary work of building up State. Of all the democrats who had previously been recognized in lead ership in Missouri, Gov. Stephens is about the only one who undertook | to organize and build the party up. ps | He was elected governor after one of the pluckiest and most spirited contests ever waged for political supremacy, aud he did much to at- tract the reform forces to the stand- ards of the democratic party. It is the ambition of Gov. Stephens to make the dewo ic party a party of pride and of hope, and he intends to bend his best energies in the >|future to render the State impreg- lnable to republican § attack.—St. | | Louis Sunday Herald. The Most Fatal Disease. It is not generally known that} more adults die of Kidney trouble than any other disease. When the} first symptoms of this disease appear no time should be lost in taking Foley’s Kidney Cure, which is guar- anteed or money refunded. J A Trim- ble, druggist. Was a Literary Curlusity- | From The Atlanta Constitution. Some time ago a gentleman of literary tastes, who subscribes for all the beat magazines, read a poem in bys favorite periodical—read and re-read it, but failed to grasp its meaning. He was persuaded, how- ever, that it had a meaning of its own; or it would not have appeared in a periodical enjoying a reputation asa judge of ‘good literature. He, therefore, submitted it to a critic who made a specialy of that kind of work, but the latter returned it with the indorsement: “You're too much for me this time! I sat up with it three nighte, but I'm not in good health, and can’t lose any more sleep over it” This was discouraging, but, still convinced that there must be some- thing in it, he wrote a friendly letter to the editor, and asked him to eblige numerous readers by explain ing the poem. Several weeks elapsed before he received the following letter from the editor-in-chief: “My Dear Sir: I was interested to read your letter. Although the poem appeared in our publication, I must admit that I do not quite catch the author’s meaning. I have looked up his address, however, which I cheerfully furnish you. Per- haps he can throw some light on the subject. I can’t! Yours truly,” ete. He. took the editor's advice and tackled the author, who, being un able to explain the thing himself, replied evasively: “Ths things of God are foolishness to the world!” The literary gentleman is keeping the poem by him as one of the curi- osities of literature.
