First Ala to the Injured.

The value OF teaching of first aid to the
injured is illustrated almost every day,
but in no case more aptly than in that OF
a brakeman on the Erie railroad who fell
from his train. A leg was cut off by the
car wheels, but, with admirable presence
of mind, the man constructed a tourni-
quet with his handkerchief and knife
whereby he stopped the hemorrhage.
Even in this condition he built fire in
order to warm himself and awaited the
next train. which he signaled. He was
taken aboard and to a hospital.
We trust that the time will come when
school children in the upper grades may
be taught so much of applied physiolo-
gy" as will enable them to act sensibIy
in the case Of the thousand emergencies
sure to take place in after life with them
selves or their fellows. 1t is strange that
almost all lay people 'lose their heads"
in accidents and injuries and do precise
lySwhat should not be done. This is espe-
cially true when hemorrhage is present.
Many people either faint or are seized
with panic at the mere sight of blood,
possible echo of primitive barbaric blood
rites and blood frenzies.
To supplant this loss of control by calm
and intelligent action according to the
circumstances aRd condition is one of the
duties we owe to the coming generations.

THE SITUATION AT Annoy.

WASHINGTON August 2S.-In re-
gard TO the reported landing of Japa-
nese troops at Annoy, the Japanes lega-
ton received to-day a confrmatory tel
egram from Toxic to the effect that
in view of the fact that Annoy has, on
account of its proximity to Formosa,
frequently served as the basis for evil
designs upon the island and that, in
addition TO the burning of a Japanese
temple, there have been riots against
foreigners, the Japanese government
have considered it necessary TO land
a small force for the purpose of pro-
tecting their consulate and the foreign
residents at that port.
HONG KONG. August 2S.-General
Goto, from the island of Formosa,
Japanese territory commands the
japanese forces, occupying Annoy.

SISTERSvILLE, w. Va, August Is
The most enthusiastic convention held
in the First Congressional district in
years nominated Hon. T. Moore Jack
son, of Clarksburg. for Congressman on
the Democratic ticket here to-day.
AS a fitting climax to it's work, Hon.
James B. Brennan, of Wheeling, was
nominated for district presidential cleo
tor.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-08-29

T. Moore Jackson is one of West Vir-
ginia's most procurement and successful
business men, a man of wealth and in
fuence, but not man of ease and idle
wealth. man whose wealth and in
fluence and energy are devoted TO the
development and upbuilding of his ma
tive State and its industries and en-
terprises. The success that has attend
ed his efforts in business way is TO be
credited solely to his brains and hard
work, elements which he will bring to
bear upon the very important campaign
now before the Democracy, and ele-
ments that bring success with honor in
politics as we'll as in business. But
one of his enterprises need be mention
ed here. He is the head and front of the
Short Line Railroad building between
Clarksburg and New Martinsville, an
undertaking that means more to the
country traversed than anything else
that could have been conceived ar car
ried to successful conclusion. This
railroad will soon be finished, as dozens
upon dozens of cars of bridge iron now
lying upon the cars - f2ew Martinsville
ready 10 be pat into position attest.
T. Moore Jackson is a man of brains,
energy and action, and since he be-
lieves in and subscribes to the tennets
of modern Democratic faith, no more
could be asked of candidate.
Everybody knows Hon. James B.
Brennan, of Whheeling- least every
body in the First Congressional dis
trict knows him. and nearly everybody
calls him Jim Brannan" with an af-
fectionate respect that betokens worth
lily bestowed friendship. He has carried
a grip and driven a sample case wagon
into every town in the eleven counties
of the First district. and has done it
for twenty years. He knows every
man, woman and child, and is of sucn
happy and lovable disposition that
he has no enemies. He is not with
out enemies, however. because he is
spineless and lacking opinions, for
everybody who ever heard of him
knows he is Democrat and respects
him for his personal and political worth
and Hprightness.
II was a good days work, and the
fruits of the conventions labor viii

victory. J. w. PHOEBUS.
