There is a lot of mining being carried on throughout the Kcnai peninsula that the average citi- zen knows nothing at all about save in q very general way. And the best part of it is that with scarcely an exception the miners are getting the money While w. are credited with being a hard rock camp almost exclusively, lhcr" arc not a great many who realize that there is a goOdly quantity of placer gold being mined every day in the hills back of seward, and with the installa- tinD of larger plants the Kenai peninsula will take a prominent place in the ranks of the placer gold producers of Alaska.

Chicago, June t8.--The doors of the coliseum opened this morning at 1O:O5. Shortly after delegations began to arrive slow ly. No pictures of the candidates appear upon the walls.
 Many of the delegations arrived at the hall carrying funny ban nerS caricaturing the opposition candidate, but there was none of the old-time applause or buffoon- cry so typical of former conven- tions. Everything is on a tcn- sion and, like powder, only needs the match to set off the explo- sion.

 At 10 minutes past 12 o'clock Cairman Rosewater rapped the convention to order, when inn mediatcly Governor Hadley, of Missouri, arose in his seat and made motion to submit a new temporary roll call instead of that submitted by the national committee.

Roosevelt, and asking the ex- presidents supporters to vote for LaFOllctte's candidate. This was greeted with loud cheers and was taken to mean that the Roosevelt following felt themselves too weak to undertake the fight alone. . Senator La Toilette refuses to enter any deal with the other can dIdates.
 Francis J. IIeney, in seconding ]. the nomination of McGovern, lik- ened the national convention to Abe Ruef, only he said that Rucf was behind prison bars. The Taft delegates hOoted the speaker un-
 til he was forced to stop talking. The gallery was noisy all the
 time yelling for their favorites every instance that afforded.
 Perfect order was maintained on the floor.

ORGANIZED FIGHT,

Jackson, Sept. 6.-Opponents Of
the commission plan of government
in Jackson have decided not to make
an organized fight against the adop-
ton of the measure, but will pin
their hopes in a decision from the
Supreme Court holding that the act
of the Legislature authorizing the
commission form is unconstitutional.
In event no decision can be OBJ
tanned from the Supreme Court prior
to the first Monday in January, on
which date the new system will go
into effect if adopted, certain NUM-

refuse to relinquish their places, in

SAYS FARMERS WILL HAVE
TO Paw THEIR HELP NC

A contributor to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside, says that the time
is coming when farmers will have to
increase the wages of their help. Fol
lowing is an extract:
There is one phase of the question
that the farmers rarely touch on in
speaking of farm-labor difficulties, and
that is the wage problem Back as
far as 1870 farmers were paying about
as much for hired men as they are
now, yet nobody ever seems to take
into consideration the fact that if bet
ter wages were paid young men
might be attracted to the farms
I'm my childhood a neighbor or ours
who needed a man the year around,
paid young, capable farmer one dol
lar per day, furnished him house-rent
fuel, chickens, cow, pig and garden,
and considered himself fortunate to
have him. That is about as much as
the married laborer can get now, and
often farmers deduct for holidays and
stormy periods when there is only the
feeding on hand. Personally, | know
of graduates of agricultural schools
being offered only twenty-five dollars
and board per month, the same wages
paid to unframed and untaught work
ers. On our own farm a young col
lege student mot an agricultural stu
denU worked last summer for twenty
dollars per month and board, and
was well pleased to get it. To be
sure, he was only a boy, and a boy
with several fingers off one hand,
which rather handicapped him, but he
was faithful, honest and intelligent.
He set his own price and said he
never earned that much before. In
my childhood my father paid a man
twenty dollars per month and kept a
horse for him, putting up with various
fluctuations in the way of much run
ming to town and staying out nights.
Careful inquiry among our neighbors
revealed the fact that twenty dollars
per month is considered a fair price
for a young and inexperienced farm
hand, with one dollar per day on
working days for grown man.
Now two hundred and forty dollars
per year doesn't look very attractive
to the average youth, even if living is
thrown in. The time was when a
young man could pay attention to a

double strength, from any first class

:: HOT WEATHER Is QUICK :
= TO AFFECT THE BOWELS. :.
!. WeIl-Known Fact That Extreme .
: Heat conduces to Chronic .
. Constipation.

The disposition to eat cold food and
indulge in iced drinks is one reason
why constipation and diarrhoea is SO
prevalent in summer, and there is no
time when people should more care
fully avoid bowel disturbances, as
much serious disease is directly trace
able to these conditions. We need all
of our strength to withstand the
enervating effect of heat.
The regulate the bowels and quickly
relieve even the most aggravated case
of constipation, the combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
is highly recommended by all who
have ever used it. Unlike cathartics
and violent purgatives, DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin acts gently on the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, without gripping
or other discomfort, bringing relief in
an easy, natural manner It can be
used with perfect safety by the most
delicate woman or child, and yet is
equally effective for the strongest con-
stitution. Mild, pleasant to take and
inexpensive, it is the ideal family lax
alive. By cleansing the bowel tract
thoroughly and eliminating the foreign
matter and poisons that irritate and
inflame, it will quickly check summer
diarrhoea and restore normal condi-
lions.
Druggists sell DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin for fifty cents a bottle-a
larger, family size costs one dollar.
Get bottle and keep 1t in the house;
1t will save many times its cost in
doctor bills. A free trial bottle, post.
paid, can be obtained by writing to Dr..

EXPENSES.

Jackson, Sept. 6.-The students
self-help bureau at Millsaps college
will be launched on a larger scale
during the approaching session.
President Watkins and members of
the faculty are arranging to find en-
ployment for a larger number of de-
serving young men who desire to
work their way through college, and
the business men of Jackson are Civ
ing them active support.
According to statistics complied
for the last session by DR.. A. A. Kern
showing that 1863 students, or about
43 per cent of the student body, had
earned money in various ways during
the college year, their total earnings
being $10,243. Clerking and minis
terial work were the chief occupa-
lions followed by the students. Some
of the boys followed rather un.
usual occupations. For instance five
earned money delivering newspapers
one played in an orchestra, one fol
lowed the BARRIERS trade, three ser
we'd as walters in the mess hall, three
acted as janitors, five conducted lit
tie pressing clubs, five acted as
agents for laundries, etc., the list
showing that all sorts of odd Jobs
had been snapped up by the boys who
were trying to work their way
through college.

is of no value. 1t will be recalled
that at it's last session the legisla-
ture abolished the two Supreme
Court ommissionerships incum-
bants of which were appointed for
terms of nine years each, and the
constitutional point was not raised at
that time.
A test case involving practically
all features of the commission. plan
will come up on the civil docket
from the southern district having
originated at Hattiesburg, and it
will probably be decided before the
Christmas holidays.
Mayor Crowder and several Of the
city council of Jackson state that, in
event the commission plan is adopted
at the special election on Sept. Oath,
they will tender their designations
on the first Monday in January, in
order to remove all doubt as to the
abolition of their terms of office, and
1t is quite likely that public sentiment
would compel other members of the
aldermanic body to do likewise.
Advocates of the commission sys-
tenn say that they are not worrying
about the constitutionality of the
statute. They are confident 1t will
sustained by the Supreme Court, and
also confident that they will carry
the election on the oath by an over
whelming majority.
