But if you care at all about the thing; which is to be washed, you must think twice before you act. Any soap will clean linens and muslins, but Ivory Soap leaves them as white as snow. Any soap will clean sheets and table cloths, but Ivory Soap leaves no coarse, strong odor. Try it once 1 IT FLOATS. eO'TftiOMT Mifl tf 19 MOCTM 4 011 I CO ClClATI THE ALASKA WANDERERS. The Experiences and Troubles of the Red Cloud Fortune Hunters in Alaska as Told by One of Them. Skattlk, Wash., May 20, 1000. Friend Chief: Ab per request wo will endeavor to explain our trip from the time wu loft homo on the 12th up to the prcsont time. Our first holdup was at Aurora, whero wo waited for train from 7:30 p.m. until 1:00 a. m, from which pint wo ran through with out chango to Mctkcr Junction, which is ten miles castof Tacoma and twenty eight mile south of Seattle, whero wo had to chango cars for the latter place. Th scenery through Wyoming and Montana is grand, especially along tho tho II. As M. Tho mountain scenery through Idaho and Washington is not near as grand as in tho former states. Upon our arrival hero our first move was to liml quarters, which wo did at G02 Third avenuo, almost in tho heart of the city. Rooms rangu in pricu hero from $1 50 to $12.00 per week ueeoid iug lo location. Hoard from $!S 00 to $V2.Q0 per week. I never saw or hoard of a city that had as many hotels as Seattle, yet every on is now full and over-run (tho hotels 1 mean)- That re minds me, in passing along tho docks it was surprising how many one would sso with thou oyes dressed in purple by coming in contact with some hard substance. Drunken sailors galore. Seattle- lies on tho foot hills facing Pugot Sound, which lies to the south west. About oight out of ten persons who como hero get turned around. Ac cording to tho points of tho compass tho direction they call north hero makes tho streets run northwest and southeast, as that is tho lino of tho Sound upon which tho piers and docks are built. Thcro nro at tho prcsont time over twenty thousand men in Seattlo bound for Alaska, the majority for Nome, and oight out of every ton aro buying their outlits hero and aro having to pay from 20 to 40 per cent more than thoy could have bought thorn for elsewhere and shipped thorn in, Some fow parties who would not pay tho outrageous prices hero ve:t to Tacoma and some to Portland, Oregon. This is Seattle's harvest as they will cot verv little from theso miners who buy hero now, for when they return I s'ftvc8 here. they will pass right through hereon c,tl' ' 1rC( their wny homo like a limited train passing n Hag station.

As an illustration of some of tho big grafts whicn happen hero I will name a few. Tho Kookuma three mast schooner, which was used as a danco boat, an chored out in the Sound and purchased by irresponsible parties was advertised all over tho country to sail for Nome on tho 15th of April. The over-anxious ones Hocked to theso parties or remit ted thir money for freight or passen ger space. Tho outcome wbb that she was loaded down to the guards with hundreds of tons of freight and pas senger spaco paid for about fifty men, the freight and passenger receipts amounting to over 1200,000. Well, she started a week ago and boforo sho got out of tho Sound sho was stopped by one of tho U. S. revenue cutters and returned to an:hor in the bay as tin seaworthy. Now tho parties not being responsible everything stands thcro at a loss. Neither tho men who paid for pasngo or tho men who paid freight can get a cent back and tunny will oven lose their freight. Another boat, a perfect old tub, left hero loaded to the guards with freight and forty pas sengers, slipped out ( tho harbor, got out as far as tho straits whero she an chored tor tue iitgnt. l lie sea was perfectly calm, but during the night sho broke square in two in tho middle and went to tho bottom, carrying down everything but six men who mado their oacapo on flonting wreckage. Another old tub loaded last season for Nome. Slin was stopped hero. After some lit igation she was released aud with her cargo of freight aud most of her pas sengers sho started and got through to Nome, but en her return empty sho broko in two and went to tho bottom in Hearing Sea. Persons sailing from tliis port shohld bo very careful in securing their freight and passenger space as tho first class boats sailing from this port aro very few. Such boats as tho Tacoma, Ohio, City of Pekin, Santa Anna, Oregon, Olympia and Centennial nro the leading first clnss boats. Most of these boats wero usod by tho government in transport ing troops from San Francisco to Ma nilla. Our party is in tho very best of health. Wo have everything ready to go aboard as soon as our boat, tho Tacoma, Sho is now lying at tho acoma forty miles south of hero whero sho is unloading a cargo, which sho has just brought from tho Sandwich Islands and is oxpected to arrho heru tomorrow, so that she will commence at once to load for Nome. A great many of those boats which aro of tho second class order have post poned their day of sailing for nearly a week. The leason 1 think is that they I have imne seoud class tickets which thoy wish to sell, although thoy givo other reasons ns tho causo for not bo ing ready. I would advise anyone who contemplates making a trip to Alaska now or in tho future to post them selves thoroughly on every thing before they mako a move. Although our party so far has been fortuuato and successful, thero arc many hundred who have beau just tho opposite Thcro nro many who will meet thomselves returning from Nomo. It is surpris ing how many misinformed, misguided and inoxperionced persons ato Hocking to Nome and York, somo oven going their last dollar without a thing in sight but chance. Our steamer, tho Tacoma, is bonked to sail from hero at 8 a.m , May U5th and I have every reaion to believo that lin will sail upon that date, ns her managers are among the iuo.it repu table of tho transporta ion eompauys that thcro is.

Poison is the most tlcgrailiiiR anil destructive of all diseases, as it vitiates and corrupts the entire system, The first sore or ulcer is followed by little red pimples on the body, mouth and throat become sore, the lands enlarge and inflame, copper colored splotches appear, and hair and eyebrows fall out. These aro some of the milder symptoms ; they increase in severity, finally attacking the vital organs ; the body li tortured with rheumatic pains and covered with offensive eating sores. It is a peculiar poison, and so highly contagious that ati innocent person handling the same articlcf used by one infected with this loathsome disease, may be inoculated with the virus. It can be transmitted from parent to child, appearing as the same disease or in a modified form like Eczema or Scroful?. Many an old sore or stubborn skin trouble appearing in middle life, is due and traceable to blood poison contracted in early life. You may have taken potash and mercury faithfully for two or three years and thought you were cured, but you were not, for these poisonous minerals never cure this disease ; they drive it from the outside, but it is doing its work on the inside, and will show up again sooner or later. You may not recognize it as the same old taint, but it is. S. S. S. has cured thousands of cases of Contagious Blood Poison, and it will cure you. It is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known, and the only antidote for this poison. S. S. S. cleanses the blood thoroughly of every particle of tho poison there is never any return of the disease, 4MIIIF 1AlinCFIF AT HAMIF Seud for our IIolne Treatment book.
