"It is a little
difficult to say just who was seasick and who was not amoung our
Volga Klondike voyagers. M. C. Smith wrote that he 'wasn't a bit
sick but all the rest were heaving up Jonah all the time on
ship;' then Col. Shadle's letter came telling how he enjoyed the
rest of the party's 'reelings and upheavals' but he, of course,
'wasn't a particle sea-sick,' oh no. And Fred Millard's wife had
the same concerning 'all the rest but him being sick as dogs,'
while he didn't have to catch on anything for that purpose. -
McGregor News."

Kain were united in marriage last Tuesday, Washington's
