"What can do to overcome it?
Just what a woman means by being a
little nervous she can't exactly say. She
tells you she is restless; that she can no
longer sew or read; conversation no long
er interests or it even troubles her; noises
startle her, and she cries for no cause.
Such are the first small beginnings Of
nervous weakness. The world is full of
loving, patient wives and mothers who
have been called upon to suffer intense
emotional strain; have undertaken to
nurse those dear TO them through pro-
tracted illness, OF have worked beyond
their physical powers
During the many years of hard and
wonderful work, Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
Dartmouth's great professor, had these
weak, srun down" women in mind. The
study of such cases of nervous prostratior
neuralgia, rheumatism, dyspepsia, and
debility led him to that most marvellous
discovery of the century, Paine's celery
compound. Prof Phelps became con-
WINGED that the trouble in all these cases
OF weakness lay in a disturbance of nu-
triton.
The cure lies in purer, richer blood

MYTON AND EDWARDS.
MI. Myton Says They are no Miles
Apart.

Two men, candidates for the same
state office, that of auditor, sat in close
communion this morning at the Cope
land They were Geo. E. Cole of Girard
and III. p Myton of Garden City. A
JOURNAL reporter interrupted the con-
ference with the question: "Are you try
ing to figure how you can both be nom
inated?'
Ion no. replied Myton, 81 am just
trying to convince Cole that we intend to
nominate DR.. King
DIR. King is from Girard, and is a can
didate for lieutenant governor, and his
nomination would defeat Cole.
Cole looked incredulously at the re-
reporter, as if to say, "WelI see about
that" but said nothing.
''Some of you folks up here seem to
think" continued Myton, shat Billy Ed
wards and L cannot both be nominated
because we come from the same dis
trict. You forget how large the Seventh
district is. Why, Edwards and live 40
miles apart, and the seventh district is
surely entitled to two candidates.
1--WE are for Dave Heller for govern
or Some of his friends have tried to
have him pull off and be a candidate for
lieutenant governor but | haven't heard
a word about his withdrawal and / am
sure he is still in the race"
what about Longs chances for con-
gress?''

who didn't vote for him before have told
me that they will support him now. The
Populists will, think, nominate Senator
Lands of Medicine Lodge. Jerry Simp-
son will not be nominated on account of
the serious condition of his health"
Geo E. Cole has been in the county
clerks Office at Girard for eleven years.
He used to work in the mines but is now
a cripple and walks with clutches. He
is popular with the miners and would be
a strong candidate in the southeast He
refused to talk about his canvass.

We agree TO all Mr.. Small said OF
General Fhz. Lee. who is one OF the first
citizens that Virginia has, and one of the
best she ever had, and we mourn as
deeply as Nirginian can the dis
grace that was fixed upon her name when

her people longed to see him in, and which
he Would have adorned.
