THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.

Now that the spring elcctionsarc over and
the leaders of both political parties have
counted the dead and wounded the poll
ticians are turning their attention to
broader field, that of the formation of the
county ticket to be elected next fall So far
as the Republicans are concerned, the ques-
ton as to the successor of Congressman
Charles n. Brumm appears to overshadow all
other nominations in point Of interest not
withstanding the fact that there is long
list of county offices to be filed this fall.
shenandoah Republicans have always
given Mr.. Brumm loyal support whenever he
has asked the suffrage Of the people-and
that has been quite often, rather too much so
even for his intimate political friends, and
they will ask him to take back seat this
time He bears the same relation, in this
respect to the Republican party that James
b. Reilly does to the Democracy. The as
sertion is being openly made that defeat is in
store for the party this fall with Brumm as a
candidate, and we believe that the party
managers should wisely accedc to the de
mand for the nomination of some one else for
Congress. Not content with denomination,
Mr.. Brumm wants to go to st. Louis as
national delegate. There are too many active
and worthy workers in the ranks to allow
one man to monopolize all the plums lying
around.
1t is quite natural that the Democratic
papers should wish to see Mr.. Brumm
receive a denomination, but fortunately the
Republicans are not accustomed to seeking
advice from that source 1t might be well
to inform the editor of the Pottsyille
Chronicle-who is generally muddled on
matters political-that he is shooting wide OF
the mark so far as the candidacy of H. +
Dengler is concerned. The latter gentleman
is a full-hedged candidate to succeed Con
grossman Brumm, and no minor position viii
satisfy either his friends or himself NJ
doubt there are some people who would like
to believe the twaddle dished up by the
Chronicle, but they will find ere long thai
their desires in this respect will not b,
realized. 1t was only after repeated anC
earnest solicitation on the part Of many o
the prominent leaders Of the party, who fully
realize the necessity of injecting new blooC
into the canvass this fall that Mr. Dengle
finally consented to allow the use of hi

BROOKLYN, Feb. GA pawn shop kept
by Daniel @. Ferguson at Long Island
City was entered by four robbers yester-
day and jewelry stolen valued at about
$1,000. The men represented themselves
as plumbers, and said they wanted to ex-
anime the water taps in the store. Fer
guson led them into the rear of the store
and pointed out the taps. AS he did so
one of the burglars knocked him down
with the butt end of a revolver. Ferguson
was then bound and gagged, and the rob.
bers proceeded to rifle the safe. They
took all of the diamonds, watches and
jewelry of value and left the store without
attracting any attention from the outside.
The police are said to be upon the track of
the robbers.

THE old tradition that to eat anything
just before going to bed is sure to pro-
duce indigestion and render sleep i'm
possible is now happily exploded. 1t is
not good as matter Of fact, to go to
bed with the stomach so loaded that the
undigested food will render one restless
but something of a light, palatable nature in
the stomach is one Of the best aids to
quictude and rest. Some physicians have
declared, indeed, that good deal of the
prevalent insomnia is the result Of an un-
conscious craving of the stomach for food
glass Of hot milk is grateful to the
palate these nights, or good ripe apple
but light, well-coolled cruel is
better, and in our climate, during the cold
months Of winter should be the retiring
food Of everyone who feels the need of food
at night.

Tuberculosis epidemic in Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Feb 26.-Tubercu-
losis seems to be manifesting itself in
many portions of the state, and the belief
is general that a regular epidemic of this
disease is near at hand. During last week
the state board of health examined several
head of fine dairy cattle at and near Elgin
taken from the choicest herds Twenty
eight cattle were found suffering from the
disease, aud four out of five that were Sc
lected from one herd for slaughter were
found almost eaten up with tuberculosis.
Other herds were found equally infected,
and all were quarantined. The dairymen
of Elgin and surrounding towns are very
much alarmed. Other localities in the
state are believed to be largely infected.
