IN THE SHERIFF CONVENTION.
1t was early seen that the greatest
battle was to be fought over the
sheriffs place on the ticket, and DR..
John Short was brought out to kill
of Cord Burton; and lie came near
winning. For a dozen ballots Short
within one vote of winning and then
the name of George A Huston, of
Seaford Hundred was sprung, and
in few ballots he was named.
Mr.. Huston lives right at the
Maryland line-part of his farm
being in that state-and he married
sister OF VIM. Boyce, Esq. He is
about 80 years old and is unknown
to the voters Of the county.
The big contest in the legislative
convention was over the senator.
IN THE LEGISLATIVE CONVENTION.
On Saturday a fight was made in
Broad Greek hundred for delegates
favorable to VIM. Thomas Moore,
who resides at Laurel, but they
we're showed under. This did not
matter for delegate from Little
Creek named Moore for senator and
he was chosen inspite of the wishes
of his home people by vote of q
for Moore, for Stephens and 3 for
West. With this job done the con-
vention then skipped the legislative
branch and nominated the Levy
Court men as follows:
Little Creek. ...... .Chas. B. Elzey.
Broad Greek. d. H. Boyce, Jr.
Broadkiln. S. Cord Warrington.
Georgetown. .. Geo. W. Hatfield.
Baltimore. ..... VIM. S. McCa5e
Lewis & Rehoboth John C.Holland.
The legislative ticket was named
later in the day and was as follow
for representatives.
Cedar Greek Asbury Smith,
Georgetown. ..... Matford Short
Broadkiln. John G. Thompson.
Baltimore. 500. Elisha G. Dukes
Little Greek 49,. Emory b. Riggin
N. W. Fork. 49,. Isaac n. Whitney
Indian River. .... Thomas johnson
The contest for coroner resulted
in choosing VIM. H. Johnson of -
--hundred, and the county
treasurer nomination fell to Jesse
IT. Wells of Gumboro hundred.
All sessions were held behind
locked doors, and lots of time was
wasted by delegates running out tc
consult with the bosses.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION BOLT
VIM. Boyce assisted the Con
stitutional Convention to get its
roll called in order and start The
program, but it had not gone fal
before the Higgins Boiling Repub
licans came to them with peace
offering in which the lamb offered
to swallow the lion, and it caused
trouble
Ex-Governor Ponder whispered
his orders early to Capt. Daisy and
Joshua Ellegood and they went
through. The court room was
cleared for discussion of the fusion
proposition, and when the doors
were opened it had been adopted by
a vote of 81 to 5 and the five mer
headed by John o. Truitt bolted the
convention and left. It then pro
ceeded to nominate five for the
Constitutional Convention and left
five vacancies for the Higgins peO
pie to fill with republicans of Thurs
day.
The entire convention was devoid
of enthusiasm and marked by scowl-
ing looks. Many openly cursed the
ticket and damned the Ponder,
Salisbury combination, and the fu-
sion especially.

A TALK ON DYSPEPSIA.
A Disease OF Civilization-Its Symp-
toms-How To Cure 1t.

A Disease OF Civilization-Its Symp-
toms-How To Cure 1t.
Dyspepsia is said to be disease of.
civilization. Savages know nothing
about it. The disease has become do
mesticated in America and we as a
people have threatened to monopolize
it. Few disorders inflict upon their
victims greater suffering, yet dyspep-
STA is not particularly dangerous and
seldom causes death. 1t permits the
sufferer to linger in misery for the al
lotted tern of life.
The complaint usually begins with q
sense of fullness, tightness and weight
in the stomach after meals, and di-
minished or lost appetite. Flatulency
and sour stomach are also common,
and there is often nervousness, vom-
iting and general distress. Some
times the patient has a bad taste
in the mouth, headache, heartburn and
palpitation.
Dyspepsia is the result of disturbed
or interrupted functions of the stom-
ach and digestive organs. The cure
consists in restoring these functions.
If the stomach is too weak to digest
food it must be strengthened. This
must be done through the blood which
is the medium that carries strength
and nourishment to all the organs.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the One True
Blood Purifier and it cures Dyspepsia
by purifying and enriching the blood.
combined with it's direct action on the
stomach and its secretions. Perhaps
in no way has Hoods Sarsaparilla
relieved greater suffering than in its
cures of dyspepsia which are indeed
legion. If you are suffering from this
disease. give Hoods Sarsaparilla
a fair trial at once.

The Last Judgment has been for centuries
a favorite theme for poet, painter and

the middle ages. especially, bent their
best efforts to picture its solemneties. In
painting, it has tested the powers of the

Michael Angelo stands alone here, as in

his paganized time, and his mannera ter
rible. Roger Van de Weyden. the mourn

with great dignity and reverence, while
Rubens has, like Michael Angelo, made
the subject rather an occasion for the dis
play of his peculiar powers than reticent
contribution to the most awful chapter in
Christian art. 1t was left to Louis Spohr,
the great violinist and composer. in his
matchlessly grand oratorio, Die LetZten

performed at the Rhenisb festival at Dus-

matte presentation of the end of all things,
embodying not only the vision OF the ex-
lied holy apostle in Patmos in music, but
every conception of the best masters of
art. Spohr is best known to Americans
perhaps by his Faust, produced at Frank

REPUBLICAN DARKNESS

There seems to be an epidemic of
high taxes and municipal extravaganza
in prominent cities throughout the
country. Just now Chicago is appar-
emily ahead in notoriety Of that kind.
The rate of taxation in the windy city
has rapidly increased each year since
1893, and for 1895 the rate was 1929 on
every hundred dollars. This enormous
increase is attributed to the construc-
ton of the great drainage canal, which
has cost a vast sum of money. But a
reckless city government always man
ages to have on hand some kind of q
drainage canal that will effectually, in
one way or another, drain the pockets
of the taxpayers.
As it is often the case in growing cities
Chicago is just now we'll nigh bankrupt,
and hence the frightful rate of taxa
ton mentioned. The mayor has ac-
cordingly adopted scheme of econ
omy, 80 called. He has ordered the
shutting off of every alternate street
lamp, to the number of 1000. This act
will OF course result in adding fifty per
cent to the darkness heretofore pre-
vailing in the streets at night. High
wsymen, footpads, burglars and all
other species of evil doors will have a
harvest time in their respective
lines of business, The saving to the
city by this process will be
Ave and a half cents a NIGHT
for each of the 1000 dead lamps. Yet
there are nearly or quite 1000 camp
followers and political bummers under
pay from the city whose alleged SER
vices are needless, and who could be
extinguished with greater propriety
than can the street lamps. Mayor
Swift, who is typical Republican
place holder, made great promises Of
reform on taking the office last April
The facts above mentioned indicate
what kind of reformer he is.

SATURDAY. JANUARY rs. 1906
THE HERALD SUSTAINED

The whitewash bucket and brush
frequently used by the grand juries Of
Los Angeles county have been relegated
to the lumber room-let US hope for
ever. The grand jury has presented a
report that is strong enough to stand
mp alone. 1t is report that is refresh
ingly frank in it's comments, unspar-
ing in it's exposures and sound in its
recommendations. In this product of
the grand jury's deliberations the at
titude of The HERALD regarding court
house affairs is most strongly sus-
tanned, and it's statements of the in
competency, extravaganza and dis
honesty suffered by the people of this
county are abundantly corroborated.
It is apparent that the jury has been
reading The HERALD and reading it to
most excellent purpose.
In the multitude of official delin-
quencies and abuses developed, the
thefts in the county clerks Office and
the Hodgman and House jobs are con-
spicuous above all others. These out
RACES meet with the merciless exposure
and condemnation they so clearly de-
serve. The recovery Of the money
filched from the too-accessible pockets
of the taxpayers is most energetically
recommended, while the suggestion that
special counsel be employed to sue for
the return OF this money is most
significant of the opinion in which the
grand jury holds the man who is now
playing as the district attorney of Los
Angeles county. 1t is plain intimation
that the people should hire a lawyer
The jury has evidently "sized up" the
county's legal officer.
The subjects of the report are toe
numerous for extended comment al
this time, and THE HERALD will avail
itself of that sort of comment later.

north hardly admits of a doubt. B ut
between the northern demand and the
local supply lies the gulf of costly
transportation. That this gulf has not
been bridged by cheap marine facill-
ties is a reflection on Los Angeles cap
ital The failure to speedily take ad-
vantage of the opportunity for building
up a permanent and profitable business
in the transportation of oil from the
ports of Los Angeles county to the
Golden Gate, forces the unpleasant
conclusion that local capital is not i'm
bued with the spirit of enterprise in
the degree requisite to utilize advanta-
geously the splendid openings afforded
by 80 resourceful section as this.
AS The HERALD has before said, the
absence of many industr al enterprises
which would prove greatly instrument
tai in developing the country is not
because of any lack Of capital, but be-
cause of either lack of proper appre-
citation of the profitable possibilities, or
an absorption of interest in the field of
real estate speculation.
But the time has arrived for reali-
cation of the mighty truth that the
transfer of titles is not the only i'm
portant industry possible in this sec
ton Of the state that mere real estate
deals are not wealth-producing trans
actions, aud that the value of real
property itself depends largely on the
substantial upbuilding of the country.
1t is about time that the capital that
has been hidden in the darkness of the
local bank vaults be allowed to flow
into the channels of production, and
one of the first channels it should seek
is that Of oil transportation.
