Dr. Miles' Nervine A REMEDY FOR THE Effects of Tobacco.
THE excessive use of tobacco, especially ly younj men is always injurious and undoubtedly shortens life materially. Mr. Ed. C. Ebsen, compositor on the ContraCosta Xeu:s, Martinez, Cal., writes; "I Lave used Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine and received much benefit from it. I was troubled with nervousness, cl'zzy spells and sleeplessness, caused by the use of tobacco and stimulants. I took Ir. Miles' Nervine with marvelously good results, allaying the dizziness, quietins the nerves, and enabling mo to sleep and rest, proving in my caso a very beneficial remedy." Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine Is rspecially adapted to restoring the nervous system to its normal condition under such circumstances. It soothes, beals and strengthens. Dr. Miles' Remedies aro sold Ly all drugpists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money refunded. Rook on diseases of the heart and nerves free.

It appears that "investigation" is still another word for "fake." The number of statesmen who are anxious to step into the shoes of Thomas B. Reed is larger than the number of statesmen who are competent to fill them. There is one Methodist minister at the New England conference who says: "I db not believe that we are commanded to go into all the world and shoot the gospel into every creature OÜAY'S TRIUMPH. The inconceivable and all-pervading lack of sense with which some people are afflicted is aptly illustrated by the judicial farce, by courtesy called a trial, recently enacted at Philadelphia. M. S. Quay, a senator in congress, had borrowed various sums of money from the People's bank, which he used for the purchase of stock certificates representing various properties, repaying the sums due as they matured. But his personal and political enemies discovered that the People's bank was a depository for state funds. With the customary sagacity of such people they put the two incidents together and trumped-up the charge that Quay had unlawfully borrowed state moneys. lie was indicted, tried, and acquitted of course. Quay's political deviltry had about finished him in politics, and his reelection was decidedly improbable. Now, however, the fall election will probably return a Quay delegation, and the country will be compelled to endure this enterprising statesman for six years more at least. As might have been foreseen Governor Stone Friday appointed Quay to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of the legislature to elect a senator. The American people demand and will have fair play, and resorts to grand juries and criminal courts to gratify private or political malice always end in the ultimate triumph of the intended victim. The moral turpitude involved in such an attempt, while glaring enough, is obscured by its unaccountable stupidity. Ilamlftomely Kntrtalnetl. The Young People's Society for the Propagation of Nonsense met at the
residence of Rev. Thornberry Friday night. So thoroughly enjoyable wa9 the evening that it seemed as though one were Bitting in the lapse of ages while time glided on unobserved and unmolested. The devices for amusement were manifold, ingeniously contrived and pleasurable to tbe very end. All joined in with epirit and seemed to enjoy themsel?es for enjoyment's sake like the artist paints for the sake of art. One part of the evening's program 6tands out pre eminent, especially in the minds of tL 6e whose tastes delight in things above the ordinary. We refer to the delicious cream candies which were passed for desert and which we are informed were prepared by one or more members of the Nonsense club. At a late hour the club ad
journed, first, however, bidding adieu to the genial host and hosttes, who were to a great degree responsible for the One time. THE NEXT CONCLAVE Knight Templars to Meet in Indianapoll in 1901. The next annual conclave of the grand commandery, Indiana Knights Tempiare, will be held at Indianapolis. This was the decision reached Thursday morning at the closing session. The newly elected oüicers were installed at this time, the work being done by Past Grand Commander Nickolson and Grand Captain General Ituckle of Indianapolis. After a hard tight a dispensation was granted for a new commandery at New Castle. This was an appeal case, the request for a dispensation having been refused by the grand commander during the year. There are now more than twenty-two sir knights in New Castle and more than thirty other masons will become such. William II. Smythe, of Indianapolis, the grand recorder, was presented with a Cuban machette, sent by Col. William T. Durbin of the One Hundred and Sixty-tirst Indiana. Hoy Killed at Wanatah. A sad accident occured at War -.tah Thursday afternoon about 4 o'clock which resulted m the death of Johnny Lenick. Young Lenick was watching a gang of Fort Wayne workmen removing a semaphore pole and in some manner it slipped out of tbe hands of the men and struck the boy on the head, chrushing his skull, lie lived a short time. He was nine years old. Utspatch Kditnr'rt Substitute. Michigan City Dispatch. The Dispatch extends its sincere congratulations to Editor C. W. Met6ker, of the Plymouth Independent, over the advent of a son at bis home. Instead of a revenue stamp on the youngster, Mr. Meteker should attach a couple cf Mumm's extra dry labels at five plunks per label. Death of John Miller. John Miller, a young married man of Uourbon, died Friday. He leaves in this world a wife and two children. His sickness was of brief duration hence his death is a double shock to his many friends and acquaintances. Deceased was laid away in Pleasant Hill cemetery.

ALASKA LETTER.
FRANK L. THOMAS WRITES AN INTERESTING LETTER. He is Still in Good .Spirit! hut I not Prospecting for Himself Hun Some (iool Idea on the Philippine Matter Too Many People Ther Letter la I.eas Than a Month Coming, Mr. J. W. Themas has received another very interesting letter from his son Frank, who is trying his fortunes in tbe land of gold. The letter was mailed at Dawson March 17 and reached Plymouth April 21st, which evidences improved mail facilities. He says: The Richardson outfit that has the government contract for carrying the mail have arrived here at last with the first consignment of government mail that has reached here from the outside this winter, with the exception of a few hundred pounds that reached here some time ago. There were several tons of it and they will be some time yet distributing it. It will soon be summer now and when the boats commence running onr mail will be more regular. Well, I am well and hearty. You would not know me I am so ftt. I don't know what I weigh, but it seems that the extreme cold has a tendency to make one get liechy. The cold weather is about all over now. The sun is getting high. It has thawed a little the last few days. It is warm enough tnat we are getting the spring fever, and are losing our appetite for work. We are still working at the old stand. There are nine men altogether working on the mine now. They have passed an alien law in British Columbia and that knocks us Americans out. Anyway I would not leave here for another part unless I was not doing anything here. My policy is to let good enoogh alone. There is only one Klondyke in the world. It excells all other placer diggings now in exist ence, not in size, but in richness. I be lieve there are many good claims yet to be staktd here and will be for some time to come. All there is against the country is that there are ten times too many people here, and the government is rotten. As to the people they are leaving in droves out over the ice every day, and when the boats commence running I think the population will be thinned down to a normal condition. As to the government we can only hope for a chaoge. Mind I do not advise any more to come, but since I am here and a little on the inside traclw I do not see the advantage of stampeding to another section. I have a half claim on Quartz creek, a tributary to the Indian river, and a half interest in one on Last Chance creek. Of course they are all undevel oped and nothing is known of tLem as yet, although there is sooie good pay located on both of the creeks. We have been working so steady this winter that we have not had time to prospect. In fact one working does not hear of anything until it is too late. Rut then again $1 an hour is doing pretty good, and I think it best to work when I can and prospect when I can't get work. I hear some talk that there will be a general cut in wages through out the camp at tbe beginning of tbe cleanup. I think if they try to cut our wages we will quit and go prospecting. We are only working eight hours a day yet. We got a letter from Sam Barrett. He has reached his home in England all safe. He congratulated me on my good home and kind mother and father. I was so agreeably surprised at re ceiving that letter from Arthur White. I have not heard a word from him since his folks left Indiana. I am glad to hear that he is fighting for Uncle Sam, although I am not in sympathy with the present American operations in the Philippines as regards the insur gents. I may be wrong, or it may not be in my place to express an opinion, being, as I am, in a foreign country at thotime. Rut I will only speak of a few reasons which have caused me to think as I do. You have, of course, long before this read in the papers tbe subjejt discussed pro and con how the Filipinos are fighting and have been fighting for a number of years for the same cuse that our forefathers fought during the revolution, etc. Rut I see another reason. Of course, my experience is limited, but of what I have seen of colonial government, both in this country and Alaska, makes me think that the Filipinos would be far better off if they were allowed to govern themselves than if held subject to America or any other country. In a colony the officers do not try to serve the people governed, but only to fill their pockets and the pockets of their political constituents. I have talked with men here from nearly every colony of Great Rritain all over the world and the conclusion I have come to is that a colonial government is invariably a source of political graft And, from what I know of the running of affairs in Alaska, I know that Uncle Sam is no exception. Of course, things are not so bad there as here, but they are bad enough. Again, I do not believe in forced annexation, no matter under what pretense of rightful owner-

The Filipinos are not responsible for the actions of Spain, nor lor the Spanish-American war: then why should they be called upon to pay for the costs of the war by giving up their cause of liberty and independence tor which they have been tiehting so long? I symphathized with the SpanishAmerican war because I understood that the United States took up the fight on behalf of humanity to stop the brutal slaughter of the defenseless Cubans by the Spaniards and to help Cuba to gain her liberty. Hut now it eeems that we are doing in the Philippines just what Spain was doing in Cuba. I may be wrong; I may not see it in the right light. I admit that there are two sides to the question, but that is the way I 6ee it wrong or right. Well, to the text. We do not work Sundays. Dick bakes bread then and we carry water and cut wood for the week. The weather is line today. The sun shines bright. 1 don't think we can drift more than a few weeks longer if the weather stays like this. We think to begin sluicing about Mav 10. everybody is glad that spring is so near. It has been below zero ever since last fall. I am confident of success if I stay here awhile. This is a good country for those that have the courage to stay with it. From your loving and hopeful son.
