T all depends upon what you want in a soap.
If you require simply a dirt remover, almost
any soap will do. 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

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.
Thero nro all kinds of fakes being
worked hero. Kvorythiug is run wide
open. Huni'o men and grafters aro as

thick as lleas on a Shepherd dog. 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. All tho first class boats
aro steel covered and as Inspector W.

There Is a disease prevailing in this

It heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble Is allowed to ad
vance the kldney-polsoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

of apparently hopeless cases, after all other

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,
