Washington, Sept. 13.-(Special)--
Senator Harris, of Kansas, has return
ed from his home. He laughs at the silly
notion of the gold bugs THAT because
wheat is higher the Western farmers
have lost faith in silver. 'TI'he farmers
arc well posted" he says, "and they are
men of good. hard common sense. They
know th.t the increase in the price OF
wheat is due TO one of those accidents
of nature and not to amy Legislation.
They know very well that :f we had
free silver wheat would he selling at

so cents they are now getting. Wheat
never did fall until silver was demon
etized, and its present price, although
grea ter than it has been in recent years,
is not what it ought to be or would be
under former financial conditions"
I'VE are in good shape politically.
There are 105 counties in Kansas and
in % of them there has been complete
and thorough fusion on free silver. All
elements favoring the free coinage Of
silver are working in harmony, and
there is absolutely no doubt as TO what
the result will be at the next election, 50

to imagine, since the extremely forbiddiag
nature Of the region drained by the Cop

of the country.
The Blanchard left here October 81 with
fifty-seven passengers for Copper river
all of them from Los Angeles and San
Francisco. The entire expedition was out
fitted here.
According to the Blanchards officers
there was reason to protest against the
dockage facilities at Orca. The cannery,
where the boat first tried to land her
freight and passengers, sits at the base
of a high bluff. Once on the dock one can
not go more than fifty yards in any d.

Capt. Warner decided to drop down to
the Alaska Packers Associations cannery
and put his passengers ashore in boats.
There the use of warehouses was offered
them for sleeping and storage quarters.
Many decided to remain there, while 9TH
ers, convinced of the impossibiIity of go
ing up the Copper river by boat, paid so
each passage by steamer to Port Valdes.
They will go in by the Valdes pass.
When the river freezes, those camped
near Orca will go up over the ice. When
the Blanchard left they were anything
but cheerful over the prospect.
The Blanchards purser brought back
three curios in the shape of sailed food
They We're two halves of young pig
whose chief mark of distinction had been
his ribs, and so-called ham, about the
size of child's foot. These had at one
time formed part of the stores Of the
schooner Lynampha. which sailed from
San Francisco with a large party of pros
pectors, charging them 500 for passage to
the Copper river with a guarantee of good
food. The opinions of the officers and
tuted good food.
Griffin will leave in a few days for Los
Angeles. He was grubstaked for this sx-
petition by his father, millionaire lun-
Der dealer of California.
The Blanchard will go from here to Port
land and from that point will resume her
regular run between Portland and San

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dys.
pepsia and Indigestion.

DR.. Jennisun, who has made a life study
of stomach troubles. says: All forms of
indigestion really amount to the same
thing. that is, failure to completely di-
gest the food eaten: no matter whether the
trouble is acid dyspepsia or sour stom-
ach, belehing OF wind, nervous dyspepsia
or loss of flesh and appetite; a person will
not have any of them if the stomach can
be induced by any natural, harmless way
to thoroughly digest what is eaten, and
this can be done by simple remedy which
l have tested in hundreds of aggravated
cases with complete success. The remedy
is combination of fruit and vegetable
essences, pure aseptie pepsin and golden
seal, put up in the form of pleasant tast-
ing tablets and sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart.s Dyspepsia Tablets.
One or two of these tablets should be
taken after meals and allowed TO dissolve
in the mouth and mingling with the food
in the stomach digeStS II completely before
ii has time to ferment. decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three
thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar
wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say If this wholesome REM
edy was better known, by people general
ly, it would be a national blessing, as we
are nation of dyspeptics. and nine-ten.hs
of all diseases owe their origin to imper-
feet digestion and nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a Sc
cret patent medicine. but a fifty cent
package will do more real good for WEAK
stomach than fifty dollars worth of pat
ent medicines. and person has the sat-
isfaction of knowing just what he is put
ting into his stomach, which he does not
know when widely advertised patent med
icineS are used.
