ker-Roast Roosevelt.

Harrisburg. Pa, April 20-The dem
ocratio state convention refused to In
struct the national delegates from
Pennsylvania to vote for the nominal
ton Of Judge Parker for president
The delegates will go to st. Louis un-
Instructed and will be bound by the

A platform was adopted In which
the Pennsylvania democrats declared
that:
To-day the country finds In Theo-
dore Roosevelt a standing menace to
constitutional government. to interna-
tional peace, to business stability and
prosperity.
ut turns to the democratic organi-
zation for safety and rellef-to that
party Of conservatism, which from its
birth and thru SO many years was the
bulwark against which the spirit OF
sectionalisn, fanaticism, radicalism
and the crude, wild theories of exper-
imentalists dashed in vain"

Divert Snake River to Utah.

Senator Kearns, of Utah, has in
contemplation the preparation of a
bill, which he will introduce into the
senate, which will insure the construc-
ton of canal from the Snake river
IN Idaho to point on the Bear river
in Utah, by means of which the
food waters of the Snake river, which
now empty into the Pacific may be
utilized to re-establish the old level
of the Great Salt Lake. To accomp-
lish this it will be necessary for
Idaho to cooperate with Utah.
Senator Kearns has senta letter to
Governor Morrison of Idaho explain
ing the plan briefly and pointing out
the advantages which would accure
both states through the construction
of the canal
The plan may be said to be embryo
already, and the geological survey
has been called upon by the senator
to furnish profile, together with the
most available route for a canal,
which is to commence at a point be-
tween Blackfoot and Idaho Falls and
enter the Bear river about Grace, if
the topography of the country will
so admit
Senator Kearns has taken the mat
ter up with State Engineer Doremus
of Utah and Judge Richards, who
are in Washington, and both are in
hearty sympathy with the project
1t is understood that Senator
Kearns will in the immediate future
lay the matter before the Commercial
club of Salt Lake City and enlist It's
support.
1t Is also understood that he has
written to Governor Wells and other
prominent Utahns familiar with irri
cation problems, enlisting their aid.
He has been In communication with
Senator Hepburn on the matter and
the plan meets his hearty approval,
and he will cooperate with Senator
Kearns provided the governor, chief
engineer and the people of Idaho ap-
prove of The scheme.

An Interesting Statement.

Walker & Sommercamp say they
have at last discovered a positive
cure for dyspepsia.
"For years, said a member of
the above drug firm yesterday, ''we
have been waiting for some one to
discover a remedy that really will
cure indigestion and dyspepsia. T"
GA short time ago we learned that
new remedy called "PEPsIKoLA"
had been placed on the market, and
on investigation we found that at
last there is remedy that surely
will cure. y
"We laid in big supply because
we knew that as soon as people be-
gan to realize what a remarkable
remedy PEPsIKoLA is there would be
big demand for it, and it is selling
even beyond our expectations.
1t is not often druggist sells a
remedy with the positive guarantee
it will cure, but unless PEPsIKoLA
does cure you of nervousness, dizzy
spells, sour stomach, coated tongue,
palpitatlon, biliousness, headaches,
and other symptoms of dyspepsia,
Walker & Sommercamp will hand
you back your money cheerfully and
without argument.
PEPsIKoLA is also a grand nery'
tonic and is sure TO help all who fee
run down and worn out because Of
the facilitating effects of the no
weather.
No one should really hesitate il
trying a 20 cent box of PEsIKOLA a

NO FULL NOON
IN FEBRUARY
Phenomenon in Astronomy
Occurs Once in Nineteen
Years.

For the first time in 10 years the
moon will not get full this month.
AT least that is what the astronomers
say. 1t is going to stay sober for
20 days. Then it will start with it's
first quarter, go through its second
and third and get full again. The
regularity with which the moon. gets
full is well known, so well known
that there are few, perhaps, outside
of. the astronomers who know that
once i'll 10 years the terrestrial satellite
celebrates by going through the en-
tire month of February without fol,
lowing its custom. From time i'm
memorial the farmer has watched for
the dark and full of the moon as a
guide in planting his potatoes and
corn, but as this month is not
planting month the sobrlety of the
satellite will cause no trouble on this
score.
The cause of this lunar phenom-
enon is a subject for matbematicians
and astronomers. But for those who
do not care to delve into the intrica-
cies of calculations, the explanation
may be acceptable that, as it ls leap
year, the girl recently discovered In
the moon has induced the man,in the
moon to join the temperance society.
But there is mathematical explana-
ton for this phenomenon. AS is well
known, the moon goes through several
phases as 1t travels in its orbit around
the world, each phase being produced
by the relative positions of the sun,
earth and moon. When the moon is
in that portion.of its orbit between the
sun and the earth we have the phase
known as the dark of the moon. But
when the-satellite Is in that portion
of its orbit opposite the sun and earth
it is In the phase known as full. Now
it requires just 294 days for the
moon to travel from this position
back to the same place. This time
is known as the lunar month. Ow-
ing to the difference between the
lunar and calendar months, every
10 years the moon reaches its full
phase in the last days of January
and begins to wane. AS February
never has more than 20 days, the
month passes before the moon again
reaches the position where it is is In
the full phase. This is why we have
o.full moon this month -Nampa
Leader.

The tariff, trusts, free coinage, gov

significance when the question of the
