AN ECHO FROM THE PAST.

On the last day of August most of the papers which carry the full reports of the Associated Press con tainted six line dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa, chroncling the death at Donegal Lancaster County, Pa, of James Donald Cameron, for thirty years a United States Senator and for brief time secre- tary of War. By many, perhaps, the item was over looked, the Associated Press thought it not of sufficient importance to send to Alaska at all Yet there many living who will recall time when the announcement of the death of Don Cam eron would have caused a great deal of first page newspaper display and not little stock exchange fluctuations for they remember when he the Duke of Pennsylvania' and more nearly the master of his dutchy than the with kingy created nobility. Another favorite title Prince Don."
 The death of Don Cameron to remind that have travelled far in the field of politics within generation. He fourished in the days when personal politics in hower-the days of the "favorite son. with State party behind him. And Don Cameron Pennsyvania's "favorite son. his father, Simon Cameron, before him. And Dons career much like that of his father. Both Senators and both Secretaries of War, and both being favorte of of the two largest states Presidential possibilities for many decades.
 Simon Cameron, the father, the United States Senate Whig in 1S45. and again Republican in 1857. Lincoln made him secretary of War, but in spite of his Scotch-Irish ancestry and Pennsylvania rearing, he not successful in nghtng as in peace, and he resigned to give to Stanton. Then he went Minister to Russia taking  with him his tall and talented and scholarly son. Don whose associations in Europe gave him a polish and manner that made the subsequent title Duke of Pennsylvania" set well. In 1866 he became a Senator for the third time, and held it until the end of President Grants term, when he voluntarily resigned 1t and the leadership of Pennsylvana's Re- publican party, turning both the Senatorship and the leadership over to his son, who had served two years Tn Grants Cabinet Secretary of War.
 Inherting the right to be Pennsylvana's "favorite Cameron "reigned" he bossed his State until his chief aide, Matt Quay, gradually and easily that could fix the time and place of the consummaton. rooted him out of first place.

of that time that was fated to control the des- tinies of the Republican party for generation Un- able nominate either of themselves for the Pres idency in 1876, they dictated the nomination of Gov Hayes of Ohio. Four years later another "favorite son" combination headed by James c. Blaine, who defeated in the Cincinnati convention of the Centennial year, forced the nomination of Garfield Conklng and Cameron headed the movement for q third term for Grant. AS the head of Garfelds Cab net, and the most popular leader of his day, Blaine laid Conkng low in New York, and while Cameron lead in Pennsylvania for many years afterward, he again was so prominent in the Nation, though he again the Pennsyvanias "favore son" in the Republican convention of 1884, when Blaine was nominated, and defeated through retallatory eff forts of Conkling.
 Cameron survived all the "favorite sons' of the
 first decades of the second century American his tory and the news of his death the ripe age of 85 years is like echo from distant past.

The North as a Silver Producer.
(Anchorae Democrat.)

Never since the days of 1896 has there been much talk of silver there is at the present day The unusually high price of the white metal with strong talk of bimetalism again becoming an issue has caused districts on the Outside that have been abandoned for more than 20 years to again become active.
 Alaska and the North generally has never been considered much of country for the production of silver but certain amounts recovered every year that from the reduction of gold and copper bear ing ores. Perhaps the for this lack of interest at this time is that the mineral production of the whole north commenced at just the time that silver received its solar pexus jolt when the Amer ican people refused to elect Bryan.
 However. long before Circle, Klondike, Nome Fairbanks days, silver discovered and worked in what might be called the interior of Alaska On the Kobuk River a silver property opened up and made producer in the early eighties the claims which it was produced patented, camp started, and small town came into being known "Silver City"
 Recently the Dawson News out with big article the possibilities of silver production in the Yukon Territory and predicted that Dawson would become known at some future time as a great silver producing section.
 In this vicinity have several localities that show the existence of galena in quantities. Chief among these is the Ohio creek of the Broad Pass, but there are also good prospects the insula. Alaska has shown the world what it has in the way Of gold, copper and coal and in all probabl- ities can also show that it has silver in abundance

I wandered through a city glade, It was 200 in the shade,
 And in the burning asphalt tree The bazzbizz sang sweet songs to me. On concrete lawns, knee-deep in hay, I watch the barb-tailed buzzwuzz play While fire brick lilies bloom so fair Beside the granite roses there. The pop-eyed snigs, at my command, Eat birthstone peanuts from my hand. The while my faithful wuk-a-ped
 Picks red hot needles from my head. And from the sky the muckaroo Pipes: "Is it hot enough for you?"

on this years racing program at the

pared, and which now is being gone

manent. Races at the fair have con-
sisted almost exclusively of harness

In addition to the runners there
will be the usual number of pacing

being worked out by a committee

pelier, superintendent of the speed de-
partment of the State Board of Agri-
culture, and Secretaries c. E. Ken
nedy and William Jones.
The tentative program includes
three harness and three running
events day, as yet it being undecid-
ed whether the program will cover
five or six days. The harness events
will carry purses of 1000 each. every
heat to be race, three heats to the
event,
The running races will be on the
half-mile track, each race to be a
dash, distances varying. The purses
will be about 5000 with no entrance
fee. The closing race of the fair will
be the Indiana Derby, one and one
sixteenth miles, on the mile track.

MACNESIA BATHS
FOR INDIGESTION

only those in constant touch with
sufferers from indigestion and dyspep-
STA can fully realize the harm done by
the improper use of artificial diges-
tents or drugs like pepsin or soda pills
and tablets In the treatment of stom-
ach trouble" declares well known
physician.
In fully nine cases out of ten diges-
tive trouble Is caused by an excess of
hydroehloric acid in the stomach, which
sours and ferments the food, creating
gas on the stomach and often causing
intense pain or burning.
The forcing of food from stomach TO
intcstines with artificial digestents in
such case is almost criminal folly as
easily follow. Instead the stomach
should be given magnesia bath 10
clean out the acids, sweeten the food
contents, soothe and allay infiamma-
ton and irritation of the stomach walls
and thus permit the normal healthy
digestion of the food.
You can give your acid infla med
pleasant to take, cannot ln1ure the
stomach and is not at all expensive;
Just get small bottle OF Bisurated

should be used to neutralize an acid
stomach. This form is not difficult to
obtain The best druggists have it

ach acidity and insure painless, natural
digestion for even chronic sufferers
from stomach trouble.
