2eruna Tablets Tested.

What are the PerIna Tablets good
for? Has anybody used them enough
to know what they win do? Read the
following letter End see. If you have
any doubt as to the eenuineness of the

Ravenna, Mich, June 16, 1905.
The Peruna Drug Co.
In regard to the Peruna Tablets, ]
have used about ten boxes in all.
While I was in Chicago my oldest
daughter was bothered with cough
all the time. She has had it for four
years. Sometimes it would go away,
and in the winter time it was so bad
that the doctors and professors said
that she had consumption, and the only
way to give her any relief was to peg
form an operation.
spend so much money for different
medicines, and for doctors also. Moth
ing seemed to help her.
So / saw the Peruna Tablets adver-
tised in the paper, and 1 got box
and tried them. She could get some
sleep by taking them. She would be up
all night and cough. So in all she took
six boxes, and never was bothered any
more.
| l will leave this for any one to in
| guire at our old residence, where we
lived in Chicago. All our neighbors
would say that she could not live with
suchIt cough. You don't know how
THANKFUL am. She is eighteen years
! old.
MY oldest son also was bothered with
his stomach, throwing up, and his
bowels so loose all the time. He was
| ell run down for four months. I also
doctored with him. One would say this
and the other something else. Istarted
In to give him the Tablets, and now he
Is all right and healthy looking. He
took four boxes. That is all he wants
TO take whenever anything ais him.
So praise your Tablets Just as high
as I have your Peruna. That is al
the medicine that ever comes in my
house. Whenever travel take some
with me. / have had three of my chill
dreu sick with scarlet fever two months
ago, and that is all I used, was the Pc
runa and the Tablets. l did not lose
any of them.
If there is any more information you
want, why just let me know and l Will
be glad to do so. Yours truly,

Je1iminary Hearing of People Irpii-
| Gated in jackson Murder VIII
Probably Occur Today.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 1.-THE pre-
limiary hearing of Mrs. N. Vance, Mrs
Ada Womack and c. F. Kendrick
probably will take place Saturday.
From the evidence now in hand all
three of them will be held to the
grand jury on charge of murder.
The only new development in the
cistern murder case in the last twenty
four hours is the fact that Mrs. Vance
who formerly lived at Natchez, also
has a shady record there, though no
criminal charge is made against her.
But soon after the incident she came
to Jackson, where she has since re-
sided
Mrs. Vance, 1t seems, ran boarding
house at Natchez and young school

her husband killed man in a saloon
and was sent to the penitentiary for

the character of Mrs. Vance, when she
got into trouble here Mrs. Womack
went to her house.
There have been no developments
as to the black-haired man in the

WHY NOT ANOTHER ONE?

Leaving politics and the political interest entirely out of il, and it will be conceded that the recent inform al banquet and reception rendered to Governor Clark was a most en joyable social event. IL is doubtful if ever in Fairbanks there had been before such a genial co-mingling ol the representatives of the different classes and interests. Bed rock and muck discovery prospectors, Repub licans and Democrats, pencil and hatchet and single location stakers forgot or ignored their petty differ ences.

ONLY s6, 100000 THIS YEAR

Final estimates of the gold out put from the Fairbanks district this year place the same in the neighbor- hood of $G,000,O00 Last year over ten million dollars in yellow dust passed through the hands of the lo- cal banks, but the output figures for banner mark set in 1909
 Estimates placing the probable output of the camp this year at g., 000.O00 or even $S,0OO 900 were freely made earlier in the season This was due to the fact that at the beginning of the sluicing season for 1910 the output was well ahead of that of the year before. owing to the desire of many operators on the creeks to join the stampede to the Iditarod. Later, however, the output fell far below that of the year preceding and has continued to remain behind until the recent rains gave an added impetus to increase the output
 As many of the best creeks in the Fairbanks district seem to be almost worked out, the output next year promises to be much below even that of this year, unless, indeed, the hour has nearly been struck when our quartz mines shall be yielding their gold in very earnest and not only in imagination

one hundred stamps within two wears"
 Conservative as the above estimate undoubtedly is. il is one of the best things that We have heard for long time
 Coming from A N Gray, represen- tatiNe of vast financial interests. it is doubly welcome and thrice valu- able IL shows Us exactly what is passing in the minds of fnanciers who are interested in Alaska's deyef opment. These men rarely or never eNageerate; they are extremely eau tious in their utteranceS So when Mr Gray said one hundred stamps We may he sure that he meant that to be the minimum number
 But even taking MT Grays figures as accurate one hundred stamps within two years would mean great deal To this camp.
 One hundred stamps of fair weight would be capable of dealing with 50o tons of ore a day, which is l2,5oo tons for working month of 2o days. or 9O.0o0 tons year.
 Taking an average of only $40 to the ton, this would give all output of $36oo,ooo from quartz for the year l9l2l3
 But there is no reason why one hundred stamps should he taken as the maximum. Already there are propositions in this district which will need 25 and 30 stamps apiece and there will probably be round dozen needing and l0-stamp mills within the next twelve months
 The new era in Panama mining has arrived and il is our opinion that this section is on the verge of one of the greatest quartz booms ever experienced in the history of gold mining
 That is not to say that it would be safe or sane to speculate in every or any wildcat proposition that pre- scented itself, but it certainly looks as though the time had arrived fol judiciOus investment in development and prospecting companies to work in the vicinity of Fairbanks
 There is room here for several such small syndicates, and they could be financed on conservative lines and with little risk.

MIKE BELIEVES IN QUARTZ

A little gold brick weighing i211 F ounces and worth just upwards of $70O is what Wise Mike Stiepovi, Il has been showing around town to his friends during the past week. Tho brick is the result of a mill run on two and a half tons of rock, mosl,' float, fem the Carlisle fraction on Bedrock creek.
 Wise Mike" and his partner Fred Baker have a lease on the above fraction. While stripping the ground of moss preparatory to sinking on the ledge the two picked up most of the rock from which the test has just been so satisfactorily made.
 The brick has not been assayed, but as quartz gold from Bedrock creek runs over $16 to the ounce, the value of Mikes little yellow parallel ogram will be over S700. And this is not taking into account the further fact that the concentrates in which he ore is rich were not saved.
 Last year Louis Rhoads sent Out side to Tacoma four and half tons of quartz from his property that is located just above that of Stiepo- vich on Bedrock creek. After a thor ough test of the entire amount it was found to yield $420 to the ton, in cluding the values in the concen- trates.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Aug. l. Special Correspondence - Protec- tion makes politics a business propo- sition.
 In the last Congressional election for instance. the tarin trusts spent large sums of money to bring about the election of candidates who had secretly or otherwise pledged them selves to revision upward These contributions to the Repub- | lican campaign fund were invest ments in every sense of the word. 1 The trusts figured that if Republi- cans were elected the tariff on the | particular commodities in which they dealt would be kept sufficiently high to bar out competition and assure them monopolies on the American ! markets.
 With this end In view the tariff | trusts and combinations of manu lecturers contributed liberally to Re publican campaign funds The expenditure of this tainted money enabled the Republicans 10 dominate Congress, The tariff was revised upward, The manufactur. CTS were given their monopolies , Prices were boosted

CLEAR TITLE TO
LIBRARY GROUNDS
Governor Frear Signs ouitcIaim
Deed to Remove Small
Cloud.
(From thursdays AdvertIser.l

Governor Frear yesterday signed a
quitclaim deed to the Honolulu Libra.
ry Association, giving the association
an nnclouded title to the present libra
Iy site. This is to enable the library
association to dispose of the site and
put the money into the proposed new
Carnegie library.
There was a cloud on the former
title, the site having been given to the
association by the Territory under GER
tain conditions 1t was not certain
whether or not the conditions had all
been fulfilled and the library associa-
tion could not give clear title in case
il sold the land. The defect is now
removed and the land can be sold.
The matter of the selection of a site
for the Carnegie library is still in the
hands of the committee and nothing
has yet been done. Several sites have
been suggested, but most of them will
be eliminated without much considera-
tion, on account of obvious disadvan-
tages. At present the capitol grounds
seem to be most favored.
