doing everything knowu to man and
coon to keep a hoo-doo away, Hatfield
left the Klondike in disgust and passed

Kidney ills come quietly-mysterio'is
ly.
But nature always warns you through
the urine.
Notice the kidney secretions.
See if the color is unhealthy ?
I( there are settings and sediment,
l'a>sages too frequent, scanty, painful,
it'* time then to use Doan's Kidney
Pills.
To ward off Brigbt's disease or
diabetes.
Thomas Russell, of 3II 3ind Arenuo,
Seattle, Wish., carpenter, says
"Irregular aetionof the kidneys caused
me a great deal of trouble for more
ihftn two years. The kidney secretions
were itregular and passages were ac
companied wita a scalding sensation I
had more or less pain in ray buck and
stooping or lifting hu-t me. I used
majv remedies said to be good for this
trouble, but obtained little relief for
this trouble until I bought Doan's K'd
ney Pills. They helped me from the
first, and iti a short time the kidney
trouble disappeared, and the backache
ceased. ? 'I always recommend Doan's
Kidnev Pills when I hear anyone com
plalnin - of kidney trouble."

Thomas Cale,
Of Fairbanks
Mr. Cale stands for Alaskan government by the Alaskan people.
He is bound to no party, clique faction or section. He is unowned and
untagged. He is for Alaska and the Alaskan people from first to last.
Mr. Cale was nominated for delegate to congress by the Tanana
Miners Association, to which belongs nearly all the mine owners of the
Tauana valley. His candidacy has been endorsed by the republican,
democratic, business men's and commercial organizations of Fairbanks,
by the miners, union workers and democrats of Nome, and non-pirtisan
citizens generally throughout Alaska.
Platform of Tanana Miners' Association upon which stands the
candidacy of Thomas Cale: \
Resolved, we favor the establishment of a territorial form of
government at the earliest possible date.
We favor such changes in the present mining laws as shall more
clearly meet the requirements and conditions as present existing in
Alaska, the most important of which are:
-(a) By amendment of the power of attorney law as it applies to the
staking of mineral ground.
(b) By provisions requiring a specific amount of work to be per
formed on a claim before a legal record can be obtained.
(c) By the abolishment of the association claim.
(d) By a more specific definition of what constitutes a discovery of
mineral, as applicable particularly to placer ground. '
(e) We favor such legislation as shall protect and maintain the
fishing industry.
(f) We favor the extension ot the present cable and telegraph
system to all populated districts of Alaska, and the building of a .public
wagon road from some point on the Y ukon river to the coast.
(g) We favor the reduction of the present rate of taxation on
railroads.
(h) We favor the establishment of light houses and such other
safeguards as are necessary for the protection of coastwise shipping.
(i) We favor the further extension of the public school system, and
a just and equitable distribution of funds provided therefor.
