Good Words for Hall.

James *. Hall, OF Ohio county. is a
candidate for the nomination FOR audi
tor. He resides in this district. He muy
not be Il better man than Mr.. scherr,
but he is equally as good. His political
record is as good. Since he became
chairman Of the Ohio county RepublI-
can executive committee his county has
swung over from thousand or more
Democratic to safe Republican coun-
ty. by a rouslng majority. His organ
izing ability, his person1l work, his
matchless leadership have largely
caused the change. II the party pro-
poses to reward the faithful. here's a
chance to do it. II the Republicans of
Lewis choose to help a man who has
never let pass an opportunity to help
the party, let them stand by James x.
Han. The writer is not saying this
from any personal motive. The OHIO
county Hall is no relative 81 his, save
that both sprang from Adams race.
There are broader reasons why Lewis
county should support Hall,-westOn

There is no doubt but what 1t is Just
what wheeling needs to aid It in eX-
banding, and the gentlemen at the head
of the movement are quite plausible in
their representations. If it is found
that road can be built according to
the specifications outlined last night
the investment our people may be called
upon to make will inure greatly to the
benefit Of themselves as individuals and

To the Editor OF the Intelligence.
sIR:-A short time ago an article ap-
peared In your paper touching the case
of a young minister who had fallen into
a state of nervous prostration. The
article was true. The case was well re-
ported and many friends showed their
sympathy In u tangible manner for
which we cannot express our gratitude.
l wish to state to the public that am
recovering, but still unable to do any
thing in the line Of church work.
There is, however bitter and deep
regret in my heart which only God can
help me to overcome, and that is the
fact that 1 tried to live at The Bethel
Mission on Twentieth street. Many
friends advised me to not so. Some OF
them warned me against the mission
and its influences, but experience Is q
dear school and after few weeks. TO
my sorrow. found out where was. 1
now ask my friends and the ministers
Of the city to forgive this wrong step
and may God give me back my mental
and spiritual powers. Tongue cal
never express nor pen never depict the
horrible sinful scenes that transplred in
that mission among the murderods
thugs and buns that gathered for
shelter To lie In bed at night and hear
the rafting OF bottles, the foul songs,
the blasphemies and imprecations OF
those men and remember my former
standing was so notwithstanding that my
sleep was driven from me, my appetite
fled and having charge OF two churches
all coming down with crushing force al
most sent me- to my grave. I still live
at No. 1884 Main street, and shall APP
preclate any act of kindness shown BY
the good people of this city and else
where. B. D. EDEN.
