Hold an Enthusiastic Convention
and Nominate County Ticket.
Special to the Register
BUCKHANNON, w. Va. June A.
The Democratic convention held to-
day to nominate a county ticket. was
the largest and most enthusiastic DO
lltical body that has met here in years.
The county is hopelessly Republican,
but the Democrats have been steadily
cutting down the majority and expect
this year to elect part of their
ticket. A strong fight will be made
for. the office of prosecuting attorney,
and the Democrats are confident of
electlng their candidate, William S.
O'Brien. When the ticket was half
made motion was made that further
nominations be dispensed with and
that a committee be appointed to COM
plete the ticket, if it deemed it neces-
sary. This brought out a great deal
OF feeling, and many warm speeches
were made. When the vote was taken
the motion was lost by a big majority
amid great enthusiasm. The candi-
dates nominated were w. G. Totten,
for House of Delegates; William S.
O'Brien, prosecuting attorney; A. A.
Fiddler, sheriff; VIM. Lynch, surveyor.
The selection of the assessors and dis
trict Offices was left to the executive
committee.

Struggle.
NEW YORK. June "A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
So important are the lessons taught
by the Boer war that Secretary Root
has given instructions that the re-
ports of the American army officers
who have been sharply watching the
South African military operations be
Published in pamphlet form for the
benefit of the service.
Officers of the army who have been
closely following the war say that
while the lessons taught cannot be re-
garded as especially new, the opera
tons have substantiated these import
ant conclusions:
The avoidance of frontal attacks up
on an enemy's position, especially in
close order formation.
The necessity of having the latest
small arms and artillery.
The undesirability of risking ar
tillery, as Gen, Butler did at Colenso.
The value of effective scouting.
The presence of simple cavalry and
artillery.
Brig. Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief sig
nal officer, made this statement re-
garding conclusions he had drawn as
result of the war:
.The South African war will do
more to preserve peace during the next
twenty years than the Hague confer
ence or anything Of that character.
The tremendous efficiency of modern
arms of precision using smokeless
powder, ON ground specially suited for
defence, has been made so apparent
by this war that every military stu
dent has learned the almost impossi-
bility of capturing any difficult posi-
ton especially by frontal attacks.
Although the individual Boer is a
man of great bravery, resourcefulness
and possessing soldierly qualities gen.
orally, yet it is to be remarked that
the Transvaal army has not captured
a single position during the entire
war. On the other hand, the British
army has found it almost impossible
to capture any position, but has won
its way by out-fanking the Boer po-
sitions and rendering retreat impera-
tive"

tine, having come from plague in
feeted port. On the voyage to this
city the captain, Robert Stewart, was
taker i'll, died, and was buried at sea.
The nature of his malady is not

to bubonic plague will hold the vessel
