ABOUT GOING TO KLONDIKE.
Ex-Governor Sheakley was called for and
roado a very' entertaining talk about the
Klondike gold fields. He said he would not
advise anyone to go to that remote stctlon ,
but declared that there can be no question
about thcro being rich deposits of precious
metals Cn roauy portions ot the territory.
Ho refcrrred briefly to some of the man >
drawbacks to successful mining of gold.
Among other , things he referred to the dlfll-
culty to allow a shaft to bo sunk. He said
It was Impossible to thaw more than six
inches at a time and such work required o
large amount of wood , making the cost of
slnklni ; a shaft about $50 per foot. An old
prospector had told him that he had sunk u
hole fifty feet and found the ground frozen
as hard at that daplh < ts on the surface.
The governor then took up the question of
reaching the gold fields. He said It was
foolish for anyone to expect to get over the
pass before th : first of March or to get up
the Yukon before July 1. 1'artlcs going to
Alaska before the times named would be
obliged to wait at some point. The Yukon
river Is neve r- open until the latter part of
June , the earliest trip made up the river
during the past thirty years fading on Juno
2 ! > . Iloats drawing more than five feet can
not get over the bar at the mouth of the
Yukon and the governor commented on the
news recently sent out from Now Ycrk , an
nouncing the departure of fourteen ships
from that port. , bound around the horn for
Alaska. The trail across the path , the gov
ernor said , could not 'be ' crossed before
March 1. as the most tcrrlfilo stonrfl sweep
this section during the winter. The tem
perature falls to 72 degrees below zero and
the wind blows over 1,000 miles per hour.
No man can live In these storms , as numer
ous attempts to get mall over the paw In thu
winter tlmo have amply demonstrated.
In conclusion Governor Sheakley said If
5 per cent of the people who roach the gold
fields make fortunes that Is as much as cnn
bo cxprctcd. Ho said It any person was de
termined to go , the best way to reach the
country U to buy a ticket at San Francisco ,
or BTino other point on the coast , to the des
tination In view. In this way the point
would be nachcd with little difficulty , as
the transportation companies arc responsi
ble concerns and will carry out their 'con-
tractn. The governor said he would promise ,
on behalf of his associates , that the condi
tions In the resolution adopted by the moiling
would bo accepted and every effort would bo
made to comply with them. Ho said the
party would talk exposition on the remainder
of th * trip and ho promised that ho would
como to the exposition and stay two or three
weeks.
At the conclusion of Governor Shcukloy's
talk the meeting dissolved and the visitors
vUltcd The- Dee building In a body to ex
amine tho. newspaper plant , after which they
hastened to the depot Just In tlmo to catch
their train.

U. Shanahau , a Q street saloon keciier , Is the
pomplalnlng witness. Thursday evening
the men under arre&t conceived the Idea ot
obtaining a supply of whisky at the expense ]
of' Shanahan. A survey of the prcmlss
showed that a. barrel c ! "Indian Hill De
light" was standing ne.vt > to a thin board
partition and It was the work of only a , few
moments to bore a hole through the parti
tion and In'io ' the birrel of liquor. Alter
this had been done a ruUber tube was
pushed Into the 'barrel ' and > ; ho contents al
lowed to run out Into a bucket. Lleforc the
bucket hud been filled the conspirators wore
frightened away anl In their hurry ' .icy
forgot to withdraw .the rubber hcse. It Is
claimed by Shanahan tha * at least fifteen
gallons of whisky , valued at $2.50 per gallon
was wasted. *
When the matter wis 'brought ' to the aU
tentlon of Jutlgo Chrlstmann after the arrest
of the parties alle'seil to be guilty he advised
that the complaint be drawn by the county
attorney anil Shanahan wtnt to Omaha for
the purpose of.lajing the matter bc.foto the
proper officials.
The scheme would doubtless have worked
all right had not some of the parties In the
game become hltailous and made enough
no'so to attract the attention of the pro
prietor of the saloon. lie Investigated the
nolso and found that It came from next
door and was Just starting In to find out
what the cause was when the quartet fs-
capcdr Shanahan places his loss at $37.50.

It Is undentood that there Is to be a gen
eral advance In rents here about January 1. or
soon after. Some landlords have already
served uotlce on tenants of an advance of 25
o'er cent. This increase Is more particularly
In the business portion of the city , although
It Is expected that residence property rents "
will tie Increased In the spring. There" Is
a scarcity ot cottages conveniently located 'to
Wio center of the city and for such places
high rents will bo charged. Tenants who have
retained their nlaccs of bjslacss through all
the dull times do not take kindly to the raise
and It would not be surprising If several , more
store buildings we're "erected here In tno
cyrlng. Some dissatisfied renters have state : !
thut they can better afford to build than , to
pay the rents asked for store room on' N
street or on Twenty-fourth street near X
street. *
'Only ' coo or two building permits have been
Issued by t'.io city engineer this month , but
It Is thought that by February the building
business will revive and that any number
of bouses and store buildings will be erected
in different parts of the 'city.
A great many people whose business Is
here , but who live in Omaha , assert that they
would be glad to reside , in South Omaha If
It were not for the extremely high 'rents
charged' 'owners of residence property.
Tfix"H ItucMimc
The fact that city taxes for 1897 become
delinquent 'en January 1 had a tendency
toward hastening the payment of these obliga
tions during the last week. Nearly all of the
corporations have cald this year's taxes and
those that are still out will most likely set
tle the coming week. Small property owners
are not as particular about saving the de
linquent interest as corporations are , but
still a large number of residents have called
at the treasurer's office during the last few
days and settled. Treasurer Droadwcll Is
authority for the statement thr/t taxes are
being paid much more promp/y this year
than last , and as a rule with 1/ss grumbling.

George J. Kellogg , one of'.thq. pioneer nur
serymen ot Wisconsin , Is In the city , visiting
his old friend , Charles A. Totter , stenog
rapher for Judge Slabaug'.i , Mr. Kellogg , hai
bcca over In Iowa attending a. meeting ot the
nurserymen ot that state and tame hece. to
spend Sunday. Mr. Kellogg was In OnSJha
rrrtv-nlcht vrars aco. on his way to Cali
fornia. At that time lie was a mere' boy , tint
for a trio , with the hope of making same
money on the side. He made the money and
returned to his homo In Wisconsin , where
ho has nlnco resided. ' "
In riicoklng of Omata when he was here In
1819 , Mr. Kellogg said : "H Is hard to realize
the changes that have taken tflaco out Here
within forty-eight years , At that time there
was no Omaha , though , If 1 remember cor
rectly , there was a trading post at some
point on the river , probably about where the
smeltev Is now loute < l. We .let ! Omaha In
April acid landed In the California gold fields
1-19 days later , traveling wltli wagons and
oxen. After leaving Omaha 1 dcn't think we
saw a white nun until alter wo crossed the
K.cky mountains. Throughout Nebraska we
caw thousands or Indians and buffalo. ' The
Indians were Pawnees and , while they did
not molest us , they tried to steal us blind.
They would visit our camp at night and when
not watched would carry off anything they
could lift.
"We encountered the buffalo n few miles
outside ot Omaha and fium that point to
the mountains they appeared to constitute
cno vast herd. They were in front of us , be
hind us and on all sides , apparently as tame
as cattle. It was as eany to kill a buffalo
en It would be to go out Into a barn yan ] and
shnot down a cow nowadays.
"There were both men and women In our
party , and If I am not mistaken our train
took the flr.it white woman Into California.
I don't remember her name.v She _ was a mar
ried woman when she left Omaha , but she
was a single woman before WD bad gone very
far. Ono day after -wo had passed a few
miles beyond On aha. she and her husband
bad a row. We tried to fix mutters up and
get them to live together , but they would not
have It that way , s we appointed a Judge
cud selected a Jury and the case was tried
one noon while we were resting. After the
introduction of the testimony , the Jury found
.that a divorce was the remedy , and It was
granted. The next Wing was a division of
iclr property , a wagon , two yoke of oxen
nd a year's supplies. The division was ac
complished by sawing the .vagcn in two In
10 middle , giving the husband the rear end
le wife the front end , the end that cpntalned
10 tongue. Then wo gave each party a yoke
: cattle and divided the supplies equally ,
he rr.un lashed c. pole to tile portion ot the
agon that ho received and , hitching to It ,
ursued his Journey. The yartles drove { heir
mn carts end apr.icared to be aa friendly
oward each other as though they were
jrother and aister , though they never agolrl
us'.alned the relations of 'ausband and wife.
"In those days everybody rr.ade money In
allfornla. Gold was everywhere and it ) was
poor day thata man could not pan but from
" 0 to $500. "
Mr. Kellogg feels quite enthusiastic over
10 exposition. He says that Wisconsin will
o on hand with a creditable exhibit , and
hat the horticulturists of the state will dis-
! ay some of the flneat fruit over seen In the
cst. .
Mrs. Mary Bird , Harrlsburg , Pa. , says ,
My chl'd ' Is worth millions to me ; yet I
ould have lost her by croup had I not ! nested -
ested twenty-five cents In a bottle of On
Ilnute Cough Cure. " It cures coughs , coldi ,
nd all throat and lung troubles. '

Toboggan suits and tocjuea for the cold J

In the habit of lo.terlnq In the vicinity of

farmer had spent the day In the clty'stock-

of the preparations hail laid in two kess
of the best beer obtainable. After Vi.iklns
samples to reassure himself of Its superior
quality ha started on the return. When he-
reached Twenty-ninth and Farnam streets ,
