HON. GEO. e. MACOMBER
Unanimously Renominated for Mayor
Last Evening.

1t was an unusually large and enthusiastic
Republican caucus that met in Meonian Hall
last evening for the purpose of nominating
candidate for mayor. l.. b. Hill called the
meeting to order Captain Charles +. Nash
was made chairman, and Howard Owen, sec
retary.
Hon. Geo. +. Weeks moved that Hon.
Geo. +. Mac0mber be re-nominated for
mayor by acclamation, and the motion was
carried unanimously. The notices for the
ward caucuses were then read by the chair
man. In response to repeated calls, Mayor
Macomber made a brief and appropriate
speech, thanking the members of the caucus
for the honor conferred. He had hoped at
the end of his second term to retire from the
Office in favor of some other man, but the
unanimity of the vote compelled him to ac-
cept the situation.
At the close of his remarks, Howard Owen
was called for and made some Characters
tically vigorous remarks. The meeting then
adjourned.
Never was there a more harmonious gath
ering, and the large majority which Mayor
Macomber will receive Monday will show
that the people of this city appreciate his
faithful service in behalf Of city as highly As
did the caucus.

But agriculture, which creates all
the wealth that fills the treasury, feeds
the army and navy, and keeps the
Interior Department busy, has had no
department at Washington, and yet
many think it a superfuous dignity
and criticise sharply the action OF the
Senate Committee for favorably re-
porting the present bill. 1t is timely
and needed. There is no Nation
whose agriculture has PARALLEL ours,
and yet every European Government

THE PERILS OF DAMP BEDS.

A respectable portion of the deaths
that occur during the winter season
are either directly or indirectly due to
sleeping in damp beds. AS a matter
of fact, this peril is of the greatest,
and it is ever present with us. The
experienced traveller rarely hazards
the risk of sleeping between sheets
which are nearly sure to be damp,
until they have been aired under his
personal supervision at a fire in his
bedroom If this be impracticable,
he wraps his cloak around him, or
pull out the sheets and sleeps between
the blankets, a disagreeable, but often
prudent, expedient. The direct mis-
chief may result from the contract Of
an im%perfectly heated body with sheets
which retain moisture The body heat
is not sufficient to rise the temperature
of the sheets to a safe point, and the
result must be disastrous in the ex-
IRENE, if, as is sure to happen, the skin
is cooled by contract with a surface
colder than itself, and steadily alb
stracting heat all the night through.
Country people in particular are spec
tally culpable in this matter A
"spare " room is reserved for guests.
For weeks it may remain u%noccupied,
unaired and unwarmed. A visitor ar
rives. Unconscious of the fate that
awaits him he calmly passes the even
ing in social enjoyment, Later he is
shown to the "spare" for the
night. The atmosphere of the apart
ment has the chill and damp of the
tomb, and the sheets of the bed are
veritable winding sheets-shrouds, in
fact. He is fortunate if he escapes with
nothing more than a "cold." There
is no excuse for the neglect of proper
precaution to insure dry beds.
