FLOOD OUR NOMINEE.


Elsewhere in this issue will be found
a full report of the Congressional Con-
vention for this district held in the city
of Buena Vista on Wednesday last.
AS we see it, it is the duty of every
man who calls himself Democrat or
afiiates with that party to give Mr..
Flood his earnest and hearty supp ort.
There is no middle ground in this con.
test; it is either Republican or Demo-
crat. If you believe in the principles
set forth in the platform of the Demo-
c'atic party at Kansas City, it is as
much your duty to vote for H. D.
Flood as it is to vote for W. j. Bryan.
1t is not men, but measures, we are
fighting for in this contest, and if we on
this side of the Blue Ridge &c our duty
all will be we'll; if we sulk in our tents
and remain inactive, all will lie lost.
Let us lay aside all personal preferences
and grievances aud put our shoulders
to the Wheel We must win in this
contest, for the very life of our Republic
hangs in the balance. If we lose either
the Presidency or the Lower House of |
Congress it mems an endorsation of |
the military despo.ism with which this
country has been cursed for the past |
three years. 1t means the endorsation !
OF the trusts and combines, which, like
vifers, have been sapping the life
bib d as it flows from the torn and
trembling arteries OF the people, which
have been torn open by the policy of
Mark Hanna and his minions. Are
you prepared for the man on Eorse-
back and the mailed hand of military

Attended Funeral Of Aged Resident

The aged Solomon NJ. Franks, while
visiting his daughter, Mrs. Arthur
Powell, at Marion, suffered stroke of
apoplexy last Monday morning and
died very suddenly, says the Wads-
worth Banner. Mr.. Franks fell recent
ly and broke his left leg and this, with
out doubt, fastened his death. Short
services were held at the home Of his
daughter In Marion on Tuesday con-
Quoted by Dr.. H. f. Smith, of the
Methodist church. The remains were
then brought to the home of his son,
w. +. Franks, in Wadsworth, and fu-
neral services were held in the Metho-
dist church Wednesday at 2:30 p. M,
the 2Sth inst, conducted by Rev. Os-
burn, the new pastor, assisted by Rev.
Dunbar. The services were very i'm

Bill to Increase Salaries Of Policemen
Will Never Pass.

Senator George w. Sieber is home for
the election. He arrived in Akron Sat
urday, and will leave for Columbus,
Tuesday morning.
In conversation with a Democrat
reporter Senator sieber said: There
is not mitch of special Importance be-
ing done in the Legislature these
days. Although we are nearing the
last days Of the session, there are al
most 600 bills to be acted on yet"
Regarding the bill to provide an in
crease in the salaries of Akron's po-
licemcn. Senator Sieber said: '"The
bill will never pass. Such matters
should be regulated by the Council.
Nothing further win be done to get
the bill before the Legislature"
Senator Sieber says that the bill to
amend the law which restricts to
100000 the amount city may spend
for the purchase Of a water works
plant will very likely be passed by the
House this week. II is on the calen-
dar, and will be acted on in q few
days.
In reference to the matter of its be-
ing "too late' to change the City
Commissioner law, so that members
of the Board will be selected by the
people, Senator Sieber remarked that
the measure could not receive proper
consideration by the people, nor bill
be prepared in time to be acted on
during the present session. Relative
to his own opinion in the matter Sen
ator Sieber said: my idea is that we
need but two Commissioners-one to
have charge of public improvements
and the other of public safety. These
with the Mayor, City Clerk and So
licitor, and Council could easily han
die the affairs of this city. I would
favor the election of a City Clerk by
the people. He is not necessarily a
Clerk, but is in reality a director Of
accounts. 1 am heartily in favor of
electing the Commissioners"
OF the Clark bill, the Senator re-
marked that If those persons who are
criticizing the Legislature for it's ac-
tion in the matter, understood the
bill thoroughly, they would be more
charitable to their Representatives.

timized G. NJ. Christensen, a ticket
broken of No. 405 Superior St, out OF
$50 in a unique manner yesterday
morning.
About o'clock the stranger went
into Christenson's Office and after in
quiring about rates he told Christensen
he knew where a quantity Of cheap
tickets could be furnished. The stran-
ger asked Christensen to accompany
him to the Hickox building, where he
said the tickets were for sale.
When they got into the building, the
stranger asked Christensen for $50, and
taking the money he told him to wait
until he went up to the third floor and
got the tickets.
Christensen says as far as he knows
the stranger and his money are going
up in the elevator yet, for he has seen
nothing of either since.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, Mt least among the
Americans, Is certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, 1t is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, OF poor dlges-
tion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred Of heart
trouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart trou
BILE and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and the Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way also the heart Is af-
fected by the form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is a
feeling OF oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure Of the
dlstended stomach ON the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action,
hence arises palpitation and short
breath. y.t
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making 1t thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble Is to improve the diges-
ton and to insure prompt assimilation
of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in pleasant, convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cancer
Of the stomach.

His Discourse Was Filled With Words
Of Wisdom.

Rev. ]. G. Slayter, began his pastor
ate in this city, Sunday. He comes 10
Akron, as pastor Of the First Church
Of Christ, to succeed Rev. G. J. Tannar,
who recently resigned to enter a new
field Of labor, in Minneapolis. Minn. 1t
is not as q stranger that Rev. Slnyter
takes up his work in this city. Here
tofore he has assisted Rev. Tannar in
conducting revival services in the
church, and he has already endealed
himself to large number of people.
Rev. Slayter, comes to this city from
Steubenville, where he was for Eve
years the pastor of the Disciple church.
Previous to that time he was engaged
in evangelistic work. Rev. Slayter is
but 80 years of age and is Kentuck-
ian by birth. He was educated at Van
derbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. He
has a wife and two children. They
will reside at 4O21a S. High st.
Every pew in the large auditorium
and gallery Of the church, was filed
Sunday morning, to hear the initial SER
mon Of the new pastor. In the pulpit,
Rev. Slayter presents a striking ap-
pearance. His commanding physique,
coupled with splendid voice, gives an
added force to the lesson he brings his
hearers.
For the scripture lesson of the SER
vice Sunday morning, Rev. Slayter
read the fourth chapter of Hebrew,
and his text was the 14th, 18th, and
10th verses of the portion read. He
said in part:
at is natural for the human heart,
to desire priest; some one to go be-
tween us and God. Every nation has
manifested this desire, and all nations
have a priesthood. This desire is uni
versal, as is indicated by the fact that
when God selected nation from
among the nations, the one institution
