REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETING
Pursuant to a call issued by Chairman
Pile and published in the HERALD III,
members Of the Republican County Com
mitiee met in the Arbitration room in th,
court house at o'clock p. M, Tuesday
February Goth. The meeting was called {,
order by the Chairman. A roll of the com
mittee was called. when in II was fourt
that tweniy-eight Of the thirty-four pre-
ciucts in the county were represented. Tn,
Chairman then stated the object of tn,
meeting to be to decide upon the mosI suit
able method of electing delegates to the
State Convention and conferees TO the dis
trict conference to select district delegates to
the National Convention After very full
discussion it was unanimously agreed that
primary election for the purpose of elect
ing two delegates to the State Convention
should be held. and that the delegates so
elected should be authorized to act as con-
ferees from this county to the district con
ference to select district delegates to the Ma
tional Convention. On motion of Mr..
Frank Furney, of Berlin, Saturday, April
9th, was fixed for holding the primary, and
the Chairman was instructed TO issue his
call for that date. Chairman Pile then ten
dered his resignation, which was accepted,
when John Il. Scott. Esq, who for the past
three years has acted as Secretary TO the
Committee, was elected to succeed Mr. Pile
as Chairman, and Wm. I. Hoblirzell, ol
Meyersdale, was chosen Chairman pro ten.
Col. L. d. NuJzy, OF Ursiha, James NJ. Co
yer Esq, of Jenner Y Roads and George IL.
Suhrie OF Meyersdale, were selected as an
executive committee.
The meeting was a very harmonious one,
and the action ofthe convention in calling q
special primary We are confident Will meet
with heapproyal of all who have the best
interests of the party at heart. With two
such active energetic young Republicans as
John Il. Scott, Esq, and VIM. T. Hoblitzell
at the head of the organization, there is ey-
cry assurance that lively and aggressive
campaign Will be carried on next fall. Mr..
Scots three years experience a. Secretary
has given him a large acquaintance
with the Republicans of the County, and a
general knowledge Of party affairs that am
ply qualify him Tor the important office OF
Chairman. The call Of Chairman Scott for
a special primary election to elect delegates
10 the State Convention, will be found
elsewhere. April is an unusual time for
holding a primary election, but the date
fixed for the State Convention coming pre-
yious to the time of our usual primary, ii
became necessary 10 hold an extra election
at this time. This can only occur in Presi-
Dental years, and we hope tha, the Republi-
can voters OF the county will be sufficiently
interested TO turn out in force and select two
reliable Republicans to represent them at
the State Convention.

Hor- WATER CRAzE.-Some years ago the
country went wild over the "blue glass
cure and it was recommended for every
disease, from mumps to smallpox. The
hos water craze has now taken its place. A
reporter called upon prominent Philadel-
pbia physician the other day and asked him
whether he had observed the popularity of
the hot water cure Why" said he, nod
ding to a patient who had just called there
is one who drinks red-hot water three times
a day, and it does her good, too. Is it in
such general use as is claimed? l think 80.
1t appears to have taken the people by storm,
and ! cannot see any objection to- it. There
can be no harm in taking hot water in mod
crate quantities before meals, and it very
often is of itself an excellent curative for in
digestion and dyspepsia. In the first place
it stimulates the stomach and gives to it that
heat which is so often necessary To put into
action the digestive organs. And then. when
man gets TO using hot water he is apt to
take more time in eating, and more care,
because he feels that as he is under treat
ment he should make an effort to give the
cure a fair show Very few things are better
to stimulate the stomach before breakfasts
after the exhaustion consequent upon a
nights sleep. As cold water is a bad thing
for the digestion, because 1t chills thestom-
ach, so hot water is excellent because 1t
heats it up, and starts the fires to going again
as it were. These and other facts in its
favor go tar toward explaining, its popu-
larity, but like everything else it can be
carried to extremes
