Organized Labor to Fight Republi can Congressman. "The time is ripe, the hour has come, the work is Imminent and must be done now." Such is the message that Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, la sending to the organized millions of laborers through the American Federationist. It is de signed as the advance signal for war on republican congressmen who re fused to give labor Its demands dur ing the recent session of congress. Compers hints that the fight may be extended to the presidential contest, but he Is waiting for the outcome of the Denver convention before taking a definite position In regard to that campaign. He quotes the republican leaders to prove that the republican party was responsible for what legislation was passed and what was refused pasage. "The phychologlcal moment has ar rived for a total change of govern mental policy toward the workers," he says. Mr. Gompers Indulges In personal ities to say that "Cannon, Dalzell, Payne, Llttlefield, Sherman, Jenkins, and others, represent not the interests of the people, but the Interests and policies of the Parry-Post-Van Cleave (manufacturers' association, outfit." This attack on Representative Sher man, now candidate for vice presi dent. Is taken to mean that however lukewarm the democratic platform at Denver, Gompers will figfft the re publican ticket because it recognizes and elevates one of the "enemies of labor." Col. Daniel Searles of Anaconda, Mont., one of the early settlers of that state and a well known editor and educator, died Monday from general debility, aged 79 years. He leaves a widow and three children, one being Mrs. Mary F. Mclntlre of Spokane. RecdverHhJp Set Aside.

Government Official Gives Out Eight Rules for Health. Washington, July 3. Dr. Harvey V. Wiley, chief chemist of the de partment of agriculture today gave out eight commandments for the preservation of health during the summer weather. The command ments are: Eat one-fourth less In summer than in winter. Eat meat In moderation. Banish all alooholic beverages. Eat most largely of cooked fruits and vegetables. Drink nothing below 80 degrees In temperature and drink sparingly. Be careful and sceek the society of cheerful friends. Practice moderation In eating, and open-air exercise. Don't fret; don't worry. "Thousands of persons are made sick In summer because they don't know how to eat," observed Dr. WIt ley today, "but , the same criticism applies to the winter season as well. Few people follow definite rules Here Is a general rule: Moderate eating, moderate drinking, moderate exercise in the open air and cheerful friends will keep any good man alive through the summer." SILVEK MIXE CLOSES AFTER 809 YEARS. Bticklen's Arnica Salve Wins. Tom Moore, of Rural Route 1, Cochran, Ga., writes: "I had a bad sore come on the instep of my foot and could find nothing that would heal It until I tried Bucklen's Arnica Salve. Less than half of a I cent box won the day for me by affecting a perfect cure." Sold under guaran tee at Tallman & Co.'s drug store. House of Saxony Loses Source of In come. How would you like to own a silver mine so rich its vain of precious ore would yield yearly all that you could mine from it for 800 years? It U hard to believe that such a mine of stored wealth ever existed, and yet the Freiberg In Saxony Is soon to be permanently shut down after practically an uninterrupted exploita tion fince 1163. During these past centuries the rich veins have formed one of the most valuable sources of income of the roy al house of Saxony, Since the serious depreciation In the value of silver it has become more and more manifest that It was economically Impossible to compete with the richer ores of Amer ica. For several years past Instead of yielding revenue, the mines have been operated at a loss to the state. For the current year the deficit Is $220,000. On April 28 the Saxon min ister of finance announced that the mines would be definitely closed In 1913. Many of the older miners In the employ of the state will be pen- i sloned. Interesting In this connection, and indicative of tho genuinely paternal Instinct as the basis of many govern mental features In Germany,- Is this careful provision to prevent suffering to the families and the community as a result of the relentless working of natural economic laws. Hldawar Springs Will Celebrate. Grand celebration Hldaway springs July 4. Honorable J. T. Hlnkle de livers the oration of the day, reading declaration of Independence. An Im mense barbecue will be prepared for visitors. There will be races, plug aglles, dancing, swimming, etc., for amusements. Fired by Jealousy.

None of the shots took ef fect. . ' Robber Escaped. . At Tacoma Monday a man suspect ed of being a robber rushed by two detectives and made good his escape although the officers fired three shots at him. The-affalr was witnessed by 200 people.
