Thinks It Saved His Life.
Wester, M. Nelson, of Naples, Me.,
says In a recent letter: "I have used
Dr. King's New Discovery many years
for coughs and colds, and I think
It saved my life. I have found It a
reliable remedy for throat and lung
complaints, and would no more be
without a bottle than I would be with
out food." For nearly 40 years New
Discovery has stood at the head of
throat and lung remedies. As a pre
ventive of pneumonia, and healer of
weak lungs, It has no .equal Sold

drug store. 50c and $1. Trial bottle
free.
WAR IS DECLARED.
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.
The Idaho supreme court has de
cided that the district court of Koote
nai county had no right under the
circumstances to appoint a receiver
for the B. R. Lewis Lumber company
at Coeur dAlene and has set aside the
receivership.

THE CHEMISTS MENU.
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

Denny Brooks of Grangevllle, Idaho,

husband, who is manager of the ex
change. 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.
Ask New Trial for Barnes.
A motion was filed In the superior
court at Walla Walla asking for a

larities In the former trial.
