Post from Washington says:
Administration leaders have agreed
upon the issues and articles OF republi-
can faith which will be incorpor-
ated in the national platform to be sub
mitted to the Philadelphia convention
for ratification. A rough draft Of the
republican party creed has been accepted
by republican leaders of the senate
and republican national committeeman.

hearty endorsement Of President MeKin-
ley and a tribute to his personal man
agement OF the most brilliant military
and naval achievements of the close OF
the century. Unqualified approval will
be accorded to all the administrative
acts The establishment of gold
standard will be dwelt upon and a plank
will be devoted to renewed allegiance to
the gold standard.
The keynote of the platform will be
the expansion issue. A strong, clear ut
terance in favor of the retention OF th
Philippines and OF a vigorous foreign poll
cy will be delivered. There will be no
positive affirmation of the right of this
government to govern the Philippines,
as that must be left for future adjudiea-
ton.
The policy of protection will be affirm
ed and the platform will pledge the par
ty to the support OF the doctrine OF reel
procity A greater merchant marine
and lioeral pension laws will be demand
ed and the Monroe doctrine re-asserted.
The Nicaraguan canal bill will be sup
ported il no action is taken at this ses-
sion of congress.
The developments Of the near future
in Cuba and the outcome of the munich
pal election next month will largely
shape the policy toward the Island.
Among other planks in the platform will
be one in favor OF an augmented navy,
others in favor OF civil service, free home
steads and restrictions of immigration
Temperance and women suffrage will
also have place in the platform.

NEW OIL FIELDS.

Florence Colo,. April 16.-The Inde-
pendence Oil company which has been
organized about three months, by Can

Pile, have reached depth OF l, 100 feet in
their first we'll.
Their fields lie in an entirely new and
undeveloped location. 1t is near Wet
more about twelve miles south OF here,

erly watching their developments, as
should oil be struck in that region it will
create one of the biggest oil booms that
this section has had for many years, and
operations by many companies will as

NOW A CAPE NOME NABos.

Several scores of men in the new
and extraordinary gold fields of Cape
Nome, away up in northwestern Alas.
ka. have made marvellous leaps from
direst poverty into the lap of riches
during the past year. But no one Of
Cape Nome has had more unusual

Jake is native of Maine and is now

fifteen years his total annual earninga
never amounted to over $215. Five
years ago Jake worked on wharf In
Rockland, Me-, aud later was freight

PAYING ENGLAND'S BILLS.

Nearly 100000 persons are kept
alive by public charity, and the
worst is yet to come. American
missionaries are calling on this
country to save the starving. Lady
Curzon, the Chicago wife of the
British viceroy, has made special
appeal for aid to her native city. A
local committee proposes to raise
$4,000 in Chicago. Similar efforts
are making elsewhere. The state
of Kansas is relied on for one huns
dred carloads of corn. Other states
in the grain belt are expected to
make similar contributions. The
distress in India is undoubtedly
very great. The famine promises
to be the worst since British rule
began. What is our duty in the
premises as Americans
England has spent fully FIVE hun
dred million dollars to subjugate
the Beers and expects to spend at
least three hundred millions more
this year for the same purpose, but
she has no millions to spare for
India. The English people raise
vast sums to care for the widows
and orphans of men who have been
sacrificed to exterminate republican
institutions in South Africa, but
their own wards are left to the raw
ages of famine in Asia. England
has plenty of means to pay for
shooting ireemen and crushing a
republic, but only a few thousand
pounds to save the lives of English
subjects in Hindoostan. England
is one of the richest two nations on
the globe, but she is devoting her
wealth to land grabbing campaign
and hence Americans are requested
to attend to her plain duties for her.
Suppose we respond to the ap-
peal and come to lndia's relief.
Shall we not, by doing in India
what England should do, aid in as
suring her the free hand in the
Orange Free State and the Trans
vaa? Shall we not, by assuming
England's duty toward India, in>
directly help her in the subjugation
of the Boer freemen? Is that an obs
ject to which any liberty loving
American cares to give his money!
Should we help England to hus>
band her resources for the oppres-
sion of the Boers by paying her
charity bills in India? These are as
poets OF the case which seem worthy
of serious consideration.
And we have our own India to
look after. There is starvation in
Porto Rico-a condition which un>
wise legislation threatens to make
apparent. While there are only
thousands in Porto Rico, as against
millions in India, yet many OF these
thousands are dying.
We have our own Boorioboola
Cha in Porto Rico. Why neglect
our own and seek another in India?
Why should we shoulder England's
Hindoo burden and aid her to
save her strength to exterminate
the Beers? Why not let Eugland's
responsibility to India remain with
England, where it belongsa If she
spend her money in war on the
Beers, rather than in the rescue OF
the starving in India, why should
we spend our money to avert the
shame of such a choice2 Why
should we pay any part OF Eng

A GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends on Good Digestion

This is almost an axiom although usual
" we are apt to think that cosmetics,
face powders. lotions, fancy soaps, etc,
plexion. But all these are simply super
fetal assistants.
1t is impossible to have good complex
ion unless the digestive organs perform
their work properly, unless the stomach by
properly digesting the food taken into 1t
furnishes an abundance CT pure blood a
good complexion is impossible.
This is the reason so many ladies are
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they promptly cure any stomach trouble
and they have found out that perfect di-
gestion means perfect complexion, and
one that does not require cosmetics and
powders TO enhance its beauty.
Many ladies diet themselves or deny
themselves many articles of food solely in
order to keep their complexion clear. When
Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets are used no such
dieting is necessary. take these tablets and
eat all the good wholesome food you want
and you need have no fear Of indigestion
nor the sallow. dull complexion which nine
women out of ten have, solely because they
are suffering from some form of indiges-
ton.
Bear in mind that beauty proceeds from
good health. good health results from per-
feet digestion, and We have advanced the
best argument to induce every man and
woman TO give this splendid remedy trial
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
in drug stores and costs but 90 cents per
package.
IL there is any arrangement OF the stOm-
ach or bowels they will remove il and the
resultant effects are, good digestion. good
health, and a clear, bright complexion.

Banks left Vernon. where he was born
and reared, In June. 1899. and went to
Atlin. Alaska, where he squatted upon a
rich quartz claim, which. ii is charged,
was already taken up. He made a filing
which gave him certificate from the re-
corder's Office. which served his purpose.
Upon securing this certificate. he came
out and commenced operations. A 100
pound sack Of quartz from the claim was
the only accessory he used. His story was
that he was DOOR man, with this claim
as his only possession. II contained won
derfully rich ore, alleged certified assays
of which he carried. showing that the
quartz carried over 81 900 gold TO the ton.
For considerations which varied from S.

half interest in the mine. One million dol
lars. he said, would not buy the remain
ing half which would make him his for

ranging from $500 to 81. GOO. was exacted.

ney named Hendricks, who discovered the
character OF Banks filing in Atlin and
found Banks living quietly on a ranch
which he had bought with the proceeds Of
the mine sales. From O'Brien and from
Seattle capitalists he is said to have Sc
cured $3S.c00.
