FAIRBANKS IS SET Issues Letter Reiterating His Refusal to Take Vice.
 Presidency,
SAYS IT IS IRREVOCABLE
Contest Narrows Down to Cummlns or Fairbanks-New York
 Out of It.

Chicago, Juno 1.-The promulgatlon of a letter from Vice. President Fair banks reiteratng his "rrevocabe in- tention not to again become candi- date for the office he now holds" was the most important development of the day In connection with the yice-presl- dental nomination. The letter was addressed to MT Fairbanks manager, Joseph B, Healing, and the full text follows:
 Indianapolis, Ind. June l6, 1aOS My Dear Mir Kealing-I appreciate fully the compliment paid me by my friends in their insietence that l should accept renomination for vice-pres- ident, yet my determination not to be- come q candidate again, as announced before the close of the last session of congress, through you, Is absolutely irrevocable. My conclusion does not grow out of any want of appreciation of the hour, for the presidency Is an honor which any man may well covet. No one is obliged to step down to it.
 T have enjoyed the great honor which came to me unsought and by the undivided voice of my party. for all of which l am profoundly grateful.
 This renewed expression of the con- fidence of my friends touches me most deeply. They need no assurance that I have come 10 the conclusion l have reached deliberately, and I trust that the personal considerations which I have advanced will commend them selves to their approval. am the more confirmed in the wisdom of my conclusion because of the fact that there Is no party or public exlgeney which would seem to suggest contra ry course
 Accept for yourself and other friends my grateful appreciation of your generous unfaillng and loyal sup port. I remain.
 Faithfully your friend,
 Charles W. Fairbanks"
 His close friends who have been managing his campaign for the presi- dency openly declare that the letter must be accepted as final and definite in
 
 the second place.
 Lafayette Young, delegate at large from Iowa, today received a telegram from Secretary Loeb, which stated that President Roosevelt had not expressed desire for Gov Cummins name on the ticket or that of any other particular person.
 F The developments of the day did not materially alter the vice presidential situation and the opinion tonight as lt was this morning, that the nomina- tion will So to either Vice President Fairbanks or to Gov. Cummlns.
 JAS the night waxed older there grows a disposition to attach more nearly de- cisive importance to Vice-P President Fairbanks letter and feeling that his position might prove so truly irrev- ocable that not even unanimous nom- ination could dislodge him. This consid- eration materially encouraged the various other candidates east and west.

Eczema is Now Durable.

A st. Louis, chemist, after many
years of careful experimenting and in
vestigation, has discovered a simple
remedy that has cured hundreds of
cases of eczema that had been pro-
nounced incurable. This chemist be-
lieved that eczema and all itching
skin diseases were of local origin and
were caused by germs which attacked
and fed on the skin. He began to
search for a remedy that would de-
stroy these germs, and found that by
combining the active principles of GER
tain well known vegetable drugs, and
applying them locally, the first appli-
cation stopped the itching and burn
ing, and if used persistently would
drive all germs and their poisons to
the surface of the skin, and destroy
them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy
skin. He gave this remarkable rem
edy the suggestive name of Zemo,
and since its introduction to the pub
lie Zemo has proved a very popular
remedy and is today recognized the
most successful and meritorious rem
edy ever produced for the relief and
cure of eczema and all diseases of
the skin and scalp.
Harper House pharmacy endorses
and recommends Zemo and says that
they believe Zemo to be an honest
medicine and will do all that is claim
ed for 1T.
