Mr.. DAYTON RENoMlNATED.

The Republicans of the second West
Virginia district, in convention assem-
bled at Keyser yesterday, nominated
Hon. Aston Gordon Dayton for third
term in Congress. A great crowd at
tended the convention, including many
prominent Democrats. Congressman
Dayton's name was presented to the
convention by Hon. John ". Mason,
of Marion county. Mr.. U. S. G. Pit
ger, of Martinsburg, Mr.. George c..
Sturgiss, of Morgantown, and Judge
John Homer Holt, of Grafton, were
also placed in nomination. 1t became
apparent as the first ballot was taken
that Mr.. Dayton would win, and when
the Sturgiss and Holt men began to
change to him Mr.. George F. Evans,
Of the Pitzer delegation, moved that
the nomination be made by acclama-
ton, which was done with the usual
hurrab.
Mr.. Dayton delivered a speech to
the convention in which he defended
his course in Congress and attacked
tbe Democrats for their attitude in the
war just closed
The platform lndorses President
Mckinley administration,the records
of Senator Elkins and Congressman
Dayton, favors the retention Of Cuba
and Porto Rico, but believes in ascer-
tanning sentiment before action is TAX
en- regarding the conquered territory
in the far east. Civil-service reform
is strongly denounced and its immedi-
ate repeal asked. Mr.. Pitzer drew up
this plank Of the platform.
Now that Mr.. Dayton is nominated
the fight between him and Mr.. Nc
Graw is on and will be hotly contested.
1t is the opinion of many politicians
that Mr.. Dayton is the easiest man for
the Democrats to defeat, as his distri-
button of the offices has necessarily
made him many enemies who will not
take the trouble to vote for him and
who will certainly be lukewarm in the
campaign. 1t may be well for the
Democrats to note, however, that Mr..
Dayton had sufficient strength to over
come with ease all opposition to his
nomination, and it is apparent that he
will put up a strong fight for election,
1t will take hard work to beat him.
But we think it can be done.

P. f. BUTLER, Of pack-train No 8,

was the indirect saviour Of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way

were no roads that wagon train could
use. My comrades and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply Of this
medicine for our pack-train before We
left Tampa, and know in four cases
it absolutely saved life.

Mrs. Thomas Kerfoot, near Mon

buried there.
Mrs. Mower, wife of w. L. Mower,
near Highfeld, Washington county,
had one of her eyes blown out in a
peculiar manner the other day. She
took bottle of ginger ale out Of a
barrel and laid it on the counter.
Just then the bottle exploded with a
loud report and blew out an eye, a
section Of the bottle striking her face.
T. B. Richey, prominent merchant
of Woodstock, Va, left Manhattan
Beach Tuesday of last week, where he
had been spending an outing with his
wife and other relatives, to return to
his home. On reaching Washington
he registered at the Howard House,
where he wrote to his home people
that he would reach home on the day
following. Nothing has been heard
from him since that time, and his fam
lily are greatly alarmed.

for mushrooms the wife and daughte +

Rev. Mr.. LETTERS and family came to
Shippensburg for few days recrea-

country for mushrooms. They gath
cred a quantity what they believed
were mushrooms and took them home
and cooked and ate them Mrs. JEFF

NJ. w. Atkins, n. & w. relief agent
at Rippon, was on Saturday iostled by
two strange negroes, but thought moth
ing particular Of the matter at the
time. A short while afterward, how
ever, he discovered his pocket cut and
a pocket-book containing sixty dollars
missing. A north bound freight train,
upon which the negroes were supposed
to be, had Just departed, and he wired
to Agent Bolinger here to hold them
at Charlestown. Sergeant Mathena
got one of them, but found no Doodle
upon him. Later it transpired that
the railroad section hands found the
pocket book, with money intact, at the
point where the negroes are supposed
to have gotten upon the train and
dropped it, doubtless much to their
chagrin upon such discovery, and
greatly to the delight Of Mr.. Atkins.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflamcd con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.

unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for

be the finest geological garden in the
world in Bronx Park, New York. The
society expects to open the garden to
the public in a satisfactory way on May

with all due rapidity, the old and well
approved plan of relieving biliouSness

against malaria and rheumatism, and
removes indigestion and nervousness. 1t

proved digestion, fortifies it against dis

grave at Manassas, Va, and sentenced
to confinement for two months and to

court-martial that tried him. He has
