THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The REPUBLICAN wishes to again
Call attention to the Importance OF the
county convention called for March Z.
Besides selecting delegates for the
state convention, this convention Will
also lame delegates for the state NOM
mating convention, and for the COLI
gresslOnal and judicial conventions
which are hot YET called.
Ii there was nothing to be done at
TINS convention but select delegates to
the state delegate convention, there
would be- ample excuse for negligence
on the part of the republicans of the
county regarding the matter. We
nave no candidate for district delegate
and all Iowa republicans are for Ali
son anyway. So it would not be A
matter of moment if the attendance
should be light.
However, the state, congressional
and Judicial conventions are i'm.
portant, and the republicans of this
county Will have an interest in the
,doings of each.
-Four sets of delegates are to be
elected, thirty.two in all, and it seems
70 us, That every republican in the
county ought to have an active interest
in some of these, and will attend the
precinct caucuses.
AS there will be no other convention
until late in the fall for the nomina
tlon OF county candidates, this conyen.
tlon Will be the place to commence the
campaign and lay the foundations foI
work that is to come later.

.USTY OLD AGE
Why We Are Growing Shorter-Lived.
How to Grow Old Gracefully and
BEAUTIFULLY.

There is no more pitirul sight than u bidder
ing, halt imDeee, rheumatic linping, emacated,
querulous, always complaining old man or old
woman; and 1t Is so unnecessary. Old age
should be quiet, graceful. contcntcd, hearty,
full OF rest and happiness, and not the pitiful
wreck of a naturally robust manhood And
this happy condition can he attained by simple
means.
Every man who reaches the age of "three
score years and ten" should be as was Shakes
peare's creation:
Though look old, yet / am strong and lusty,
For in my youth never did apply
Hot and rebelliOus liquors in my blood,
Nor did with unDaShful forehead WOO
The means of weakness and debility;
Therefore my age Is as a dusty winter,
Frosty, but kindly.
Many naturally strong men die early, because
their vital forces are exhausted, because they
abuse their powers, waste their energies and
break down their constitutions.
Hence careful parsons eften live long, while
those who are rash and careless 20 down to
early graves.
Great many young and middle-aged men and
women, who feel weak, tired, .anguid, unequal
to their labors, by adopting right means and
taking proper, carefully prepared treatment,
could conserve their vital force and regain a
remarkable degree of health and vigOr.
From birth, to the age of % or 30 years, the
growth and nOurishment Of the body should be
in excess of the waste. II from imprudent
habits, overwOrk, excuses, or improper indul-
geuces, drains occur which impOverish the
blood, If waste is in excess of nutrition and re-
pair, the natural equilibrium is disturbed. the
tissues are down faster than they are restored,
and serious diseases result. Nervous Debility,
Softening OF ths Brain, Paralysis, Insanity, Dis.
orders OF the Heart, Lungs, Stomach, Liver,
Kidneys, Bladder, are among the disorders from
which thousands OF men and women die every
year.
To he sure the process OF drain and waste and
loss may be only little at time and the victim
scarcely notices the change-until the disease
is established and often beyond the reach OF
mortal remedy. Every man, young, middle
aged or old, and every woman who has ex
perienced any of the symptoms OF TINS wasting
disease should act at once. Consult the best
and most skillful physician In the treatment o.
delicate diseases, before 1t Is too late. Oul
readers are familiar with the eminent physician
surgeon specialist and medicai writer, Dr
| Downing, OF Chicago, who was lately elected

two reports to the senate. The majority
of the committee recommends that the
portraits of no person be placed on the
monument who did not participate in al
least one engagement and that enough
others be added so that each of the
regiments and organizations from lows
shall have at least one representative
Also that the designation and date Of
enlistment and muster out of each regi
ment be inscribed on the monument ant
that the records be 30 written that they
shall not show whose portraits were
designed to be placed on the monu
ment. The minority opposed the plac
ing of the representation of any person
living or dead, on the monument ant
stated that they believed that the nearly
unanimous desire of the ex-Unioi
soldiers living in Iowa was expressed by
their report.

POLITICIANS IN A SCRAP.
The Tax Collectors ONCE the Arena.

The Tax Collectors ONCE the Arena.
There was little incipient scrapping in
the tax collectors office yesterday during
the registration hours, and some talk fol-
lowed about getting a policeman in there
to-day to keep order.
1t is altogether probable, however, that
Capt. MCGOWAN will have to be consulted
before an officers presence can be asked
for. as 1t is his office, and the gentlemen
who are there to represent their respect
i've political factions are there by his cour-
teSy.
AS usual each side charged the other
with being responsible for the row, and
each can prove that it's men had nothing
TO do with it. Capt MCGOWAN himself
does not care to have his office turned
into prize ring for scrappers, and if there
is any more of it, he will no doubt take
steps himself to have a stop put to it. The
registration is moving rapidly forward.
There were ninety names added to the
registration list yesterday, making a total
of 2,790 names now in the books. 1t is be-
lieved the registration will go to 5000 or
over, and there is no doubt 10 will if ii
keeps up long at its present rate

IN FAVOR OF THE GULF PORTS.
The L. and \. Railroads Diseriminn-
ton Against Savannah.

Capt d. G. Purse. commissioner of the
Savannah Freight Bureau, arrived in the
city yesterday morning, after having
spent several days in Southwest Florida
and Southeast Alabama, making investi-
cations Of freight determinations com
planned Of by Savannah merchants on
shipments to and from that territory.
The Savannah business men. and espe-
clally the naval stores men have com
planned repeatedly OF the freight rates i'm
posed by the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, which practically prohibit traf-
nc with Savannah from that section. Now
tnat the naval stores men are extending
their operations into the section west of
the Chattahoochee they have found them
selves greatly hampered by these rates
which favor New Orleans. Mobile and
Pensacola, as against Savannah The
matter was recently referred to the freight
Capt. Purse, in seeking information on
the subject, found that the reports made
70 MIN by the connecting railroad lines
and by various interested parties were
conflicting and contradictory and he con-
GUIDED that the only means of getting at
the exact facts was to visit the territory
hlmself and secure his information from
shippers there. He also desired to see the
country and form an idea of the value of
the trade to be obtained from it with fair
Capt. Purse said yesterday that after Wis
fting several points in the territory nam
ed and obtaining the information from the
complaints of the Savannah merchants
were just The rates made by the Louis
vile and Nashville discriminate against
them in favor of New Orleans and Pensa-
cola. He first visited Caryville on the
pensacola and Atlantic division of the
Louisville and Nashville, and after spend
ing day there ran up to Chipley further
east on the same road. From Chiplev he
went back TO Caryville and took a steam
boat up the Choctawhatchee river to Cen
eva, the county seat of Geneva. Ala.
where he spent a day. The only outlet for
shipments from this point is by steamboat
TO Caryville and thence over the Louis
vile and Nashville.
Capt. Purse found the country very rich
and onering splendid inducements for trade
II 1t can only be properly reached. He no.
titled the general freight agent of the
Louisville and Nashville that he was on
the ground investigating unfair freight
rates TO Savannah, and that he should
seek more equitable rates. He is in homes
OF being able to adjust the matter salts
factor1y with the Louisville and Nashville
people without carrying the matter any
further There is a splendid opportunity
Tor lucrative trade with this section if the
savannah merchants are only given an
opportunity to reach 1t, he says The peo-
pie are anxious to trade with Savannah
as most OF the naval stores men there
have gone there from territory contiguous
TO savannah and have had dealings with
the savannah merchants.
