eddvil, OCT. I5.-Gov. Mcintyre,
who ha, been here for two days, has held
numerous conferences with the officers of
the Miners Union, with mine managers
and with delegations of leading citizens.
There were hopes when he came that he
might be able to arrange compromise OF
some kind, but he has not done this.
The action of the miners in attempting
to call out the engineers, flremen and
pumpmen, following on the Coronado and
Emmett attacks, proved the last straw for
the managers, and they now decline to
recognize the union in any manner. They
will fill the mines with men and work up
to the full capacity as fast as possible. 1t
seems certain that the idle pumps of the
Bon Aire and Penrose will soon be started,
which will enable the early working of
several heavy producers now flooded. The
governor has returned to Denver.
Mr. Blumenthal, the Juneau agent for
Brownsville Wooden Mills, announces that
he will put suits away down to keep their
tailors we'll supplied with work. You all
know Whit he has done and the Well-it-
ting SUITE he has pleased the people of Alas
ka with. He knows his business and
the thousands here in Alaska who have
done business with him continue to do so.

A BOSTON LAWYER.

What Mr. John P. wyman Says of
 Puritana.
 The duties of his law practice make MT. John P. Wyman an exceedingly busy man, and yet, when asked by an ac- quaintance what he knew about Puritana, he took time briefly to recount his ex- perience. MT. Wyman writes:
 "I have long been subject to severe headaches and to other symptoms which seemed to indicate a nervous affection of the stomach. Some weeks ago it occurred to me that there might be virtue in Puritana, which I was informed was the formula of Prof. Dixi Crosby of Darth- mouth College. As it gave evidence of being thoroughly good preparation, and as there was chance that it might bring me the relief which earnestly desired, I tried it to the extent of several bottles.
 ( I am not enough of a medical man technically to diagnose my own case, or absolutely to measure the benefit derived from the use of Puritana, but know, as fact, that after had been using Puri- tana, had better appetite, better nights sleep, and, practically, freedom from headaches, which had previously caused me much suffering.
 s'The result is that feel sure the credit can fairly be given to Puritana, and, while am not licensed to prescribe any medicine, am willing, on the basis of my own experience, to express the opinion that Puritana is an important remedy for troubles of the stomach and nerves.'

A long season of hot weather has used up the strength and pulled down the flesh of many people. Their stomachs have become week and tlaccid.
 This is noticed especially in the case of children whose digestions seem to be par alyzed by the first cold wave. But it is also true of grown people, who are sur prised that the cool days of approaching fall make them feel worse, instead of better. They have increased appetites perhaps, but their enervated digestive organs are unable to properly assimilate their food.
 The time is coming for cold nights and mornings and warm moons. The clothing that is needed for the proper protection of the vital organs in the early morning becomes burdensome in the middle of the day. It is the season of drafts and sud- den changes, which find the system but poorly prepared to stand such strains.
 Many deaths will result in this season, but the chief effect will be in the general loss of public health until the people in the community have been enabled to ad- just themselves to the new climatic con- ditions.
 All doctors agree that great care is needed both in food and clothing Un- necessary exposure should be avoided, and especially should the stomach be given every possible assistance in its important | functions, If the stomach is toned up and invigorated, if the liver and kidneys are kept in good working order, the whole machinery of life is given strength and renewed energy. The stomach is the power producer of the human body, and 92 per cent of all sickness comes from it's failure to do it's proper work.
 Physicians, chemists and practical druggists who have administered and in yestigated Puritana, the prize-formula of Dr. Dixi Crosby of Dartmouth College, have publicly and privately stated that it i the one safe and effective stomach rem
