Row is the Time
To purify your blood with Hood's
Sarsaparilla. March, April, May are
the trying months of the year. At this
"season your blood is loaded with im
purities which have accumulated dur
ing the winter, and these impurities
must be immediately expelled. Hood's

Purifier. It is the medicine which
has accomplished many thousands of
remarkable cures of all blood diseases.
It is what the millions take in the

Articles Loßt and Found.
In the case of an individual who
had claimed a reward for the restitu
tion of a diamond ring which he had
found, Judge Finletter, of Philadel
phia, the other day rendered a decis
ion to the effect that the mere fact of
finding the ring gave the finder no lien
upon the property. The article had
been lost; its loss was advertised, and
to keep it was practically larceny.
This has always been the common
sense and ethical view of the matter ;
and coming now from a distinguished
judicial authority, it will have legal
efficacy everywhere, and should help
to correct the curious notions of
"meurn et tuum," which has so widely
prevailed respecting articles which
have been lost and found.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.
was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, And as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment cf other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mqpi
festeu in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail, upon receipt of three two-cent
stamps to cover cost of postage on the
bottle. Mention THE COLUMBIAN and
send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. The proprietors
of this paper guarantee the genuineness
of this offer.
HOME FROM KLONDIKE.
Shamokin Man Who Braved the Dangers of
Alaska.
Joseph S. Graeber, looking hale
and hearty, with a light step alight
ed from the train at Shamokin last
week, after one of the most perilous
trips ever undertaken by any resi
dent of the coal metropolis, in
search of gold. Mr. Graeber start
ed from Seattle for Shamokin a
week previous to his arrival.
He gave a thrilling description of
his trip from Seattle to the gold
region—the farthest point reached
being within sixty-eight miles of
Dawson City. He stated that al
though the thermometer registered
the cold as being 62 degrees below
zero, the intensity of it was not felt
so great as easterners would believe.
This phenomena is caused by very
drj r atmosphere. He added, how
ever, that two of his toes were frost
bitten while he was on the trail
northbound.
Mr. Graeber located a claim on
Lewis river, a distance of seventy
eight miles from Dawson river, last
year, and he believes it will pan
out quite valuable. Joseph, Nicho
las and John Graeber, are now on
their way to the claim and will de
velop it. They will take the new
tramway route from Dyea and ex
pect to reach their destination with
out much trouble. The tramway
from Dyea which has but recently
been built will carry them over the
roughest parts and after that travel
will not be hard as the lakes can be
reached without trouble and sleigh
ing over the ice will not be hazard
ous at this time of the year.
Mr. Graeber told how the dan
gers of shooting down the Thirty
mile river, (which is so swift that
its waters do not freeze) especially
over a grand canyon was easily
overcome by his son Joe and
another gentleman. He pictured
the grand effects of the White
House rapids which are marvelous
beyond description.
The return trip of Mr. Graeber's
party from the interior was full of
dangers and they were accompan
ied by Major Walsh, who has
charge of the Klondike region for
the Canadian goyernment. The
high officials stationed in the sec
tion are fine gentlemen, but the
mounted police are composed of a
lot of low down fellows who endea
vor to extort money from all gold
seekers as they go along the route
stationed along which are their
posts. Mr. Graeber stated that the
new routes from Edmondton, N.
W. T., and that ofSticklewe, which
contains 141 miles of railroad, will
greatly shorten the way to the gold
region and Dawson City and will
be but considered'a short distance
from civilization.
There is a rumor that the Superior
Court is in danger of going to
pieces, on account of the dissatis
faction of the judges with the busi
ness that comes to their tribunal
and other reasons. Reeder talks of
resigning because of bad health,
within a year, and, it is said has
gone to Europe for an indefinite
time. One point of complaint is
that it is irksome to hold court at
so many different places in the
state, the very thing the court was
instituted for, so that people with
small means, could reach it with
out the trouble and expense of
going to the Supreme Court.

Notice.
The usual regular appeal will be
held some time during April and May,
notice of which will be given all tax
ables by the several assessors and
that will be the proper time to attend
the appeal. These appeals will be
held throughout the county as has
been the usual practice after the trien
nial assessment and that will be the
time and place to adjust individual
valuations.
The appeal notice advertised for
March 14, 15 and 16th is more for
the purpose of adjusting and equaliz
ing the valuations of the several dis
tricts in order that each district may
bear its burden of taxation. So it
will be noticed that individual griev
ances will be heard on the regular ap
peal days in April and May, when the
assessor will be present.

we hope shall continue to float over
our glorious country as long as the
