S. M. Jack, Esq, OF Indiana, was
nominated for Congress at the Repub-
lican conference Of the twenty-first
district at Indiana on Wednesday OF
last week. Ed. c. Niver, editor Of the
Brockwayville Record, was one OF Hon.
w. o. Smiths conferees, and from the
Record we clip the following concerning
the conferences: "The nomination OF s.
M. Jack, ESQ.,, of Indiana, by the Re-
publican conference of the twenty-first
congressional district, was a happy
termination OF condition which so
frequently demoralizes state politics,
especially when one party has major
ity which makes nomination equiva-
lent to an election. This conference
was in actual session less than three
days, and accomplished its purpose
without the customary wrangling,
ordinations and recriminations which
have marked the conferences of the
past. In addition TO making a satisfac-
tpry nomination all who attended agreed
that the conference was one OF the most
Harmonious, agreeable and upright
bodies OF the kind which ever assem-
bled in the district. The speedy result
OF this conference was largely due to
Hon. W. o. Smith, Jefferson county's
candidate. Mr.. Smith made Wig
orous and honorable effort to secure
the district nomination, but when he
saw that further effort would only re-
suit in a deadlock, he gracefully gave
way and threw his support to the can
didate who would be most acceptable
to the people OF bis district. Mr..
Jack, OF Indiana county, is man OF
character and ability. who, II elected

with credit. Mr.. Smiths action re-
pudiates the charges made against him

ought to get up than when he went to
bed; he rises at the last moment, and,
boiling a mouthful Of breakfast, rushes
off to catch the train or trolley, wor-
ried and anxious lest he be late at his
Office. At lunchtime, particularly If
he is busy, he takes, not meal, but
biscuit, a sandwich, eaten perhaps
standing, and often bolted in such a
manner that the grim fiend indigestion
instantly claims him as his own, more
particularly if he INDUCES in frequent
"nips." Very often his reason is that
if he makes heavy meal he renders
himself unfit for the duties of the after
noon. But there is moderation in all
things-a quiet, simple lunch taken
quietly and sitting down should be in
dulged in. In the evening he eats his
dinner, very often a heavy meal, and
perhaps not before half-past seven or
eight o'clock. Now, granting that this
meal is amply sufficient, such a man
lives virtually on one meal a day. Re-
suit, in time breakdown. A holiday
sets him up again for time, but, if
he persists in this evil course, only to
break down again. We cannot too
strongly impress upon our readers the
absolute necessity in the interests OF
their health devoting a proper atten-
ton to this all-important question of
careful eating. To get up in plenty of
time for comfortable breakfast is
after all only question OF habit, and
We ought not to forget that a good
breakfast, with plenty of time to eat
it in Is the very best foundation for the
day. Again. a moderate lunch, taken
leisurely, and not bolted, is necessity.

the action of Judge A. B. Thornell in
lining him $50 for contempt of court,
were dismissed by the supreme court.
During the trial in Mills county in
June, of 1896, of William DeFord, on a
charge of incest, the Tribune publish
I'd an article taking DeFord's side of
the case, and charging that the prose-

Justly, says the Supreme Court.

On Thursday morning, May II, the
gunboat Wilmington steamed close In
to the coast and keys off the town OF
Cardenas, Cuba. Its gun crews were at
their stations and every man on board,
from Captain Todd to the signal boy,
had but one burning idea, "Avenge the
Winslow." w.
The watchword along the crowded
decks and in the heated engine room,
where the blackened giants toiled
stripped to the waist, was Remember
the Winslow," and Damn a pacific
blockade"
Within range of the powerful four
| inch broadsides were the Spanish gun
boats which had decoyed the Winslow
up to the masked batteries and had
dealt out sudden death, and near the
forts lay two schooners at anchor.
Reports of mines planted in the en-
trance to the channels were disregard
ed. The Wilmington was no longer a
blockader. 1t had become a destroyer,
and for an hour hurricane of explod-
ing projectiles beloved and shrieked
into the harbor of Cardenas, not
against the town, but against the ships
and defenses, and the Spanish troops
and sailors. The gunners of the Will
mington do not waste ammunition, and
the execution was remarkable.
Nearly 300 four-inch, one-inch, and
six-pound shells screamed shoreward
like a steel cataract, and afloat and
ashore signal stations, masked batter
les, and forts were knocked to pieces
and the Spanish had to flee like rats
from sinking ship. They left behind
many dead and dying.
1t was the most destructive lombard
ment yet attempted on the Cuban
coast. In the harbor two Spanish gun
boats without steam up were riddled
and sunk, their crews having fed to
the shore in small boats. They had no
time to offer show of fighting their
guns. The two schooners at anchor
were sunk where they lay, and one
block house caught fire from an explod-
ing shell and famed out like a war
beacon. The Wilmington was not
touched by the few shells flung at it.
The attack was sudden and superbly
effective. The Wilmington in an hour
swept Cardenas bare Of defenses as one
would brush crumbs from a table
cloth.
The town Of Cardenas is three miles
back from the gulf entrance to the har-
Dor. SO that non-combatants probably
suffered but slightly. Of course, it is
impossible to know the Spanish losses,
because no landing was made, but for
the last two weeks troops have been
massing in front of Cardenas in antici-
patton Of a possible choice of this
point for an invasion as the base of
supplies by the American forces. Hun
dreds of men were working on earth
works and block houses overlooking
the harbor, and masked batteries
were being planted, one of which sur
prised and made sad havoc on the tor
pedo boat Winslow. This death trap
was located by the Wilmington and
men and guns were blown high into
the air.
It was terrific punishment at close
range, this fierce onslaught of the Will
mington, and it was the first real dem
onstration against the Cardenas Span
ish, who had become Indifferent to
American warships that were always
lowering outside, while only smaller
torpedo boats had opened fire and dash
ed menacingly shoreward. 1t was an
other matter, however, when the Will

aged 50, coal miner living in Carbon

They had absorbed a greater part Of
The beer when he hove in sight. One
Of the drinkers said something to him,
and Burd replied. One word led to
another, when the irate drinker ran up
to Burd and struck him in the mouth
with heavy beer glass, giving him a
fearful blow, which resulted in the
cutting off of his upper lip, except a
little piece on the right corner. A cash
seven inches long was made at the
edge of his mouth. Burd sank to the
ground and the assailant and his
friends disappeared.

mington, with its eight four-inch guns
and secondary battery and nest OF
machine guns in its formidable fight
ing top, slowly circled over the smooth
sea which gave its gunners platform
as steady as solid rock. 1t was no
longer target practice, but a spectacle.
1t was death in the squirting flame and
enveloping smoke cloud, and the only
respite came when the sweating gun
ners paused to let the smoke fog drift
away.
The commander CT the Wilmington

tersely that che had thrown nearly 3OO
