Spring Clean-Up om the Gold-Lined Creeks in the Klondike District Is Now Under Way. i Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., April 13—News of more rich discoveries in the Klondike and adjacent mining districts was received by the steamer Amur, which returned from Skaguay this afternoon. Controller J. T. Lithgow of the Northwest Mounted Police, who has returned to Dawson from Selkirk and the Pelly, brought a report of rich strikes made on the Upper Pelly River. He said that miners who had come down had caused much excitement &t Selkirk and at the roadhouses on the Yukon by accounts they gave of the finds on this river, which branches off the Yukon to the east, above Belkirk. The exact location of the find was not learned, the report being an indefinite one. The mounted police officer reported that there was much placer mining activity on the creeks between Dawson and Selkirk. The Dawson news tells of a rich silver find in the Klondike. F. M. Brown, an old miner, formerly employed in the Com- stock silver mines of Nevada, r¢ o that paper the discovery of a great sllver quartz lead, within eight days’ travel of Dawson City. He says that to get sup- plies and machinery there now would be a difficu but if the country were within easy access the question of the develop- ment of the strike would be a simple one. his opinion & fortune awaits those who the opportunity to develop the dis- was recelved in dispatches from Dawson that the clean-up on the creeks had commenced with the beginning of Ag‘—‘i Reports from Hunker were to the effect that miners began work there on Ap with a full sluice head of water. 1 d Forks sluicing had not com- but it was expected to begin £ the big dumps in a few days.

AN JOSE, April 13.—With system- atic effort the members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary Committee are pursuing the work of securing the requisite number of flowers for the decoration of St. James Park for the Carnival of Roses. They have organ- ized on a business basis and are making those who are willing to help sign a con- tract to deliver what blossoms are neces- sary for the department they select. In this manner the whole county will be worked, and there is no doubt that the result will be a sufficient quantity of fiowers for the purposes required. The big bouquet for Mrs. McKinley, it has been decided, will be more than 100 feet in_circumference and will require about two tons of blossoms. These will all be contributed, and special commit- tees are making efforts to have all the different varieties of blossoms and leaves of plants in the county in the structure. There are now promised about 500 pounds of flowers, and it will require no effort to obtain the remainder necessary. The programme for the Carnival of Roses was presented to the executive committee for indorsement last night. ‘While it is not entirely completed the main features have all been arranged. They are as follows: Monday, May 13—9 to 12 a. m., concert at Bt. James Park by the Fifth Regiment band of forty pieces; 2 p. m., band meets Presidential party at the broad gauge de- pot; salute of twenty-one guns by the E3 ot MRS. H. D.

During the absence of the President's party on its drive about the valley the band will play at the park, and upon the return of the party will meet it and escort it to head- quarters. At the park the Presidential bouquet will be presented by the ladies of the county. At 8 p. m. a concert by Ron- covieri’s band of forty pieces will be given at the Hotel Vendome, where the Presi- d‘ex}t and his party will stop during the visit.

When shown a news- paper dispatch announcing that he had died a week ago_he was greatly surprised. He said he had a long trip and many hardships, but was still hale and hearty as ever.

Relatives of the Montana Millionaire Deny That He Is Likely to Marry the South Dakota Campaigner. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 13.—The rela- tives of Senator W. A. Clark character- 1z¢ the report that the Senator is engaged to marry Hattie Rose Laube as without foundation. J. Ross Clark, brother of the Senator, said to-night: “You may say as broadly as you care to that the rumored engagement of my brother is a fake of the rankest kind.” While in this city Miss Laube made sev- eral calls at the home of the Senator’s mother and on one occasion she left her photograph. The Benator’s sister says that her visits were wholly unsolicted and that her picture was thrown into the waste basket. “We view her,” said Miss Clark, “in the light of an adventuress, who is try- ing to obtain advertising cheaply. Before leaving Los Angeles for San Diego a week o two local newspapers investigated iss Laube's velled assertions concerning an engagement between Clark and her- self. She furnished one paper with a ready-made interview, in which, in an- swer to a self-inflicted question, she said: “You must excuse me from talking about my rumored engagement to Senator Clark. I am not ready either to affirm or deny the report you have heard. However, I will admit that I consider the Senator a grand man, whom I will probably marry if I ever marry anybody.’ ” Senator Clark’s brother says the ac- quaintance between the Senator and Miss Laube is very slight. He met her in a purely informal manner during his Sena- torial contest, when she was making po- litical speeches. While here Miss Laube lectured on ‘‘Human Magnets.” Her fath- er accompanied her in the capacity of ress agent. pSANaglEGO April 13.—Miss Hattie Rose Laube, who, in rumors alleged to have been started in Los Angeles, has been credited with being the afflancee of Sena- tor W. A. Clark of Montana, is at the present a guest at the St. James Hotel in this city. When seen by The Call corre- spondent this evening she acknowledged having avoided newspaper men on account of this report. When asked for a con- firmation of the rumor she said that it was pot her place to make public any- tmng"ot the kind, nor should she be asked to deny it. “I have noted the fact that it is quite customary for people to den: engage- ments when they are reported about them, but in this case I believe that it will be better to neither affirm nor deny the re- port and you may quote me as saying that and nothing more,” she sald. “But,” she was told, “the rumor has been denied by the relatives of Senator ark. “That may be,” Miss Laube replied, “but you may have noted that relatives do not always know what they are talking al and possibly it may have occurred to you that everybody does not run to his rela- tives with confldences of that sort. Would it not be well for you to inquire nf these matters of Senator Clark himself, He is in_the best position to speak of rumors which concern himself. Certainly his _relatives are not commissioned to talk and if such a thing were trué, which I am careful to neither affirm nor deny, I am the one to be questioned about it.” Miss Laube is here with her father and said this evening that she did not know how long they would remain, as she had no:. ‘::onaulte with her father on that poin ABRDNAMURCHAN’S SAFETY STARTS STORIES OF FRAUD leged Wreckage May Have Been Set Adrift by Reinsurance TS, VANCOUVER, B. C., April 18.—The ar- rival of the British ship Ardndamurchan, supposed for a long time to have been lost off the Oregon coast, has given rise to much excitement in marine and insur- ance companies in this city. It is charged in the Vancouver daily papers that a scheme may have been arranged to make the possibility of reinsurance speculations. The ship left here on November 28 last and was 141 days out on her trip at the time she was sighted. The extraordinary feature is the finding along the Oregon coast of seyen different brands of salmon known to have been shipped, three ex- clusively, on the Ardnamurchan. This seemed to establish the fact that the ves- sel was lost. It was ascertained that the | salmon cases found were among the first | put into the vessel and if any part of the | cargo was jettisoned it would be the top layers, so {t was considered absolutely certain that the vessel had %me to pieces and that this cargo had been washed ashore. Just as soon as the news of the picking up of part of the cargo had reached Van- couver reinsurance rates began to go up and climbed wildly as high as 80 per cent, but no part of the vessel was found and local pilots ridiculed the idea of the loss of so fine a new ship. Two firms here realized largely in reinsurance, one clean- ing up' $14,000 in all. The suggestion is that the picking up of the salmon cases may in some way have been previously arranged in order to benefit the speculators. First Shipment of Cherries. SUISUN, April 3.—D. W. Harrier ves- terday shipped the first box of cherries from Suisun this year. They were sent by express to Chicago. The cherries were un- usually large for early fruit. They were icked from trees on Mr. Harrier's ranch In*Vacavilie. ADVERTISEMENTS. BRAIN FOOD Is of Little Benefit Unless It Is D1- gested. Nearly every one will admit that as a nation we eat too much meat and too little of vegetables and the grains. For business men, office men and clerks, and in fact every one engaged in seden- tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more healithful. Only men engaged in a severe outdoor manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health. As a general rule, meat once a day is sufficient for all classes of men, women and children, and grains, fruit and vege- tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten. But many of the most nutritious foods are difficult of digestion and it is of mo use to advise brain workers to eat large- ly of grains and vegetables where the digestion is too weak to assimilate them properly. It is always best to get the best re- sulfs from our food that some simple and harmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive or- gans, and several years' experience have proven Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe, pleasant and effective di- gestive and a remedy which may be taken daily with the best results. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a_patent medicine, as they do not act on the bowels nor any particular organ, but only on the food eaten. They supply what weak stomachs lack, pep- tric glands increase the natural secretion of hydrochloric acid. ‘People who make a a dally practice of . taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia | Tablets after each meal are sure to have nen;ect dfgestion, which means perfect he'lehere is no danger of forming an in- jurious habit, as the tablets contain ab- solutely nothing but natural digestives; cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place In a stomach medicine and Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of ail stomach l'eu:le(lle&’t e 5 Ask Ty, a B0-cent pack- of %‘::m's‘%yl‘peuh Tabiets” a after a week's use note the improvement in health, appetite and nervous energy. / sin diastase. and by stimulating the gas- | Test for Yourself th DR.

Lt SUPERIOR JUDGE RULES AGAINST SUPREME COURT Declares Its Interpretation of Certain Law to Be Opposed to Public Policy. REDDING, April 13.—In the Superior | Court this morning Judge Edward Swee- ney ruled against the Supreme Court of the State. The unusual ruling came up in a case brought against the Board of Su- pervisors by a taxpayer. The county fathers recently awarded a contract to the Parcells Greenwood Company of San Francisco for the construction of a fence around the courthonse grounds and the contract was let without competitive bids. Frank M. Swasey, a local newspaper man and Federal officeholder, brought suit to enjoin fulfillment of the contract, alleging the proceedings to have been irregular and the fence unnecessary. District Attorney Dozier for the Super- visors interposed a demurrer, which was overruled this morning. In announcing his judgment on the demurrer Judge Sweeney remarked that while the State Jaw of to-day, as interpreted by the Su- preme Court, upheld the action of the Su- pervisors in letting the contract without advertising for bids, he did not consider it good law and declared it to be against public policy.

He drove directly upoa the track in front of them and was struck with considerable force. The buggy was smashed to pleces and its occupant was hurled a distance of fifteen feet and in- i stantly killed. CONFIDENCE OPERATOR’S ARREST WARNS A TACOT1A GIRL IN TIME Swindler Passing as a British Aristocrat Dupes a Young Woman of the Northern City. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, April 13.—Local papers early this week announced the engagement of Agnes Lilllan 8mith, youngest daughter of Mrs. Isaac Perry, to Archibald St. Clair Gordon, eldest son of Major General Roland St. Clair Gordon, B. V. C., of Scotland. The wedding was to have taken place at the residence of Mrs. Perry on July 10. Now the engagement is broken and Gordon is spending the night in jail, having been arrested to-day for passing bogus checks. It is an old story—how Archibald St. Clair Gordon fell in love with a photo- graph, how he raved over the likeness of ‘acoma girl until her two married sis- ters, greatly impressed by his stories of blue blood and riches and titles, brought the youngest of their mother’s family (the “original of the photograph) before the haughty Archibald—she blushes and confusion, he bold and bonny as any knight of Scotia. Thus Agnes met the man who had loved her photograph and Archibald loved Ag- nes more than he loved the portrait. After a courtship of three weeks Agnes agreed to become his bride. Her mother's con- sent was obtained and Archibald straight- way hied himself to a newspaper office and caused a formal announcement of the engagement to be placed in the social col-_ umn. Gordon told Miss Smith and her family that he would soon return to Scot- land and claim his fortune. He saild also that his uncle was ex-Governor Gordon of Georgla, and that another uncle was ‘‘Chinese” Gordon, who fell at Khartoum. He claimed that he had purchased lots and would have a cottage built at once. All this time he was milking s for his health on his sister’s ranch néar Lake- view. Miss Smith’s mother did not be- leve he was as great a man as he pre- tended and her suspicions were proved correct to-day, when an investigation fol- lowed Gordon’s arrest for buying goods with checks which banks would not cash.

SALE OF ONE GLASS OF WINE NO OFFENSHE Japanese Restaurateur Charged With Having Violated Revenue Laws Goes Free. SANTA ROSA, April 13.—Judge John Brown of the Justices’ Court to-day ren- dered a decision in the case of Harry Ka- wamato, a Japanese restaurant-keeper of this city, who was last week brought be- fore him for examination upon a charge of selling liquor without a license. It was charged by revenue officials that Ka- ‘wamato had been serving wine and drinks with meals. At the examination the serv- ing of only one glass of wine was proved. The Justice to-day discharged the pri oner upon the grounds that the law de- clares an offense to consist of retailing lhiquor as a business, and the selling of one glass of wine could not proparly be held to constitute a business.
