ELLENBoRO, ". Va, August l2.-Cap-
tain Charles b. Smith has probably discov-
cred long ere this that the pathway Of a
Congressman IS not s.rewn with roses, and
that his political cot is not the Old-iash-
toned aowery bed OF ease. Nothing the
good natured statesman has had 10 deal
with since the election has impressed these
facts more forcibly upon his mind than the
ElenbOr0 p3stotiice contest. Soon alter
the November election JudsOn W. Boehm,
tx postmaster and DrOther-in law and part
ner IN business with Tom c. Strickler,
the present incumbent, started petitions
IN every direction setting forth his claims
for the Ofice, and !. appears that he con-
sdered all opposition useless, as Captain
Smith had promised him the prize, bat in
the midst OF all these efforts he discovered
a formidable competitor in the person OF
Hon. Samuel T. Dawson, ex-COllector OF
Internal Revenue, vino was strongly
backed by General Gof, Senator Morris
asd al tie Republican County Executive
Committee. Many protests 10 Boebm's

Upon receipt of this news, BJehm ac-

Smith at his PMkersburg home; Boehm
having promised Flesher that In order to
defeat Dawson he would turn over his in
dgercs and secure the office for Fiesher,
O. which arrangement the latter readily
consented, not knowing Boehm had pre-
vious approached his first choice, who
n tused TO be a party to any such arrange
ment. When the pair found the Captain
De anticipated their scheme by saying:
"Nr. Boehm I know rothipg OF the ap-

The Chicago Tribune exhibits more dis
erection than most Of the party organs.
The only portion tf the platform adopted
By the Convention OF the Pennsylvania
Republicans which it ventures to print Is
a few paragraphs tcom the praise Of the
Republican administration. No doubt II
fully agrees with the Republic that
wherever the platform is read 1t will make
DEMOCRATIC votes.

Sioux CRY, Iowa, Dec. lS.-The com
mittee that returned last night from the
drought stricken district Of Dakota, " here
they went to superintend the distribution
OF three cars of supplies sent by this city,
report things much worse than has here
tofore been reported They say that il,
Miner, Jeraud, Kingsbury, McCook,
Hand and Hyde counties, there are at
least $500 families who need relief In Il
conversation with II. A Jandt, who has
charge of the relief work here, that gen
tleman said:
The 3o( poor people have got to be
taken care of for this winter, and Sioux
City wi do its share for their assistance.
But the conditions are too little known
to be appreciated, and there should he
more publicity given the matter. There
are probably 2 25O0 families in the drought
section that must be cared for,
enough to interest the combined energies
of the people of the northwest. Sioux
City passed around about ten days
rations the first CT last week to about
l 800 families. st. Paul and Minneapolis
are doing good work also. But these
three cities will before long exhaust their
surplus of benevolence, and other COM
should he stirred up to provid-
ing aid that will carry the suffering fam
lies through the severe weather"
