Hon. Jas. Capehart for U. S. Senator.
A correspondent of the Parkers-
burg Sentinel writing under date of
Dec. goth, 1893. brings out Mr..
Capehart for U. S. Senator, as fol-
lows:
allow would Hon. Jas. Capehart,
our present representative in con
-gress, do for U. S. Senator? There
seems to be strong feeling mani
testing itself in the state for Mr..
Capehart for this position. His
steadiast adherence to the platform
upon which he was elected to con-
gross, and his every vote in the in
tererst of the people has endeared
him to all conditions of people,
which would make him a strong
candidate for the senate. He is Il
man who has the courage of his
convictions, and "dares to do right"
in face of all opposition. He is
with the people on silver and tariff
reform, and besides he belongs to
that class, the farmer, who are more
deeply interested in financial affairs
and tariff reform than any other
class of citizens, and would have
their support for U. S. Senator.
He is as good man as the demo
Gratis could find in the state to elect
to the Senate"

coLoRADo's GOVERNOR
falls an Extra Session of the Lesisia:u,
Onposed nv His Party.

Opposed by His Party.
DENVER, Dec. Governor Waite
has issued call convening the legisl;l-
ture in extraordinary session Jan. 10.
The call is characteristic of the governor.
He claims that this session will give tire
legislature the best opportunity it ever
lad to do some thing for Colorado.
This action ON the part of Governor
Waite has been opposed by business
men of Denver and the state ever since
it was suggested Meetings were held in
this city and at various towns and cities,
at which resolutions were passed against
the proposed action, and committees of
prominent men daily visit the gov
errors Office to protest against an extra
session.
The movement was strongly opposed in
Governor Waite's home town, Aspen,
but to all appeals made the governor has
given unsatisfactory answers, and has ii,-
dicated/a all along that he would convene
the legislature. His action lacks the
unanimous approval of his own party
mon, the Populists.

The temptations that assail man on
every hand are many and powerful. The
world. the flesh and the devil in multi.
tudinous forms are arrayed against him,
each one rivnling the other to lead man
astray into evil. Not only is this true Of
one vil-intemperance- but Of all evils.
The surest way TO overcome these temp.
tations is as fur as possible to avoid
them. Hence 1t is well that we be warned
against tarrying near temptation.

upon the intoxicating cup. II we do not
look upon IL, we cannot handle It, aud IL
we do not handle 1t we will never be-

say, Stay us far away from temptation

safe rule-to "ayoid the very appearance

g. Tarrying near temptation is un-
wise. The downfall of many man can
be traced to the fact that he played with
evil. he dallied with temptation. He
had no desire to drink, he had no appe-
lite for this evil, and yet he carelessly
kept himself in the way Of it because he
thought he was stronger than 1t, but at
last he fell. This was the case with
Samson. When his heather wife first
asked him the secret of his strength, in
stead Of firmly denying her request he
played with the temptation and at last
fell pitiful victim TO his own folly.
How unwise for men to deal carelessly
with that which may destroy body and
soul, and yet men do it. For wealth
or honor or friendship, or for some nm
explained reason, they daily with ruin

CRUSH AT CHICAGO.
Streets Near the worlds Fair Almost
Impassable Yesterday.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-The advance guard Of
the Chicago day crowd is in the city. The
streets near the fair grounds were nearly
smpassable to-day, on account Of the
great number of people who were con-
stantly arriving. Trains which pulled in
to-day consisted of three or four sections.
The popular rates on railroads served to
attract the multitudes who have not yet
seen the exposition. Chicago is taxed TO
its fullest extent to accommodate the big
army Of visitors. Every available room
to be had within a distance of three or
four miles has been taken, and at the
downtown hotels the accommodations
were fully as great.
There was large attendance at the ex-
position to-day The exhibits and many of
visitors, but the crowds found enjoyment
in viewing the beautiful grounds. The Art
Building and Midway was the Mecca of
those who passed through the gates: The
crowd dense in the Art Building
that ii was Almost impossible 10 so
through 1t, and the Midway was the scene
of much discomfort to sight-Seers.

innumerable popular features. From morn

another. Thousands of school children will

for the day, and d large chorus will sing
