The Wonderful Stories Of Two peo-
pie Saved from Horrible Death

It probably never occurred before that two people
horribly afflicted in entirely different ways, and living
far apart. were miraculously rescued from the very jaws
of death, by the same means, and almost at the same
time. The stories of George Herniman, of Buffalo, and
Mrs. George w. Sharp, of Washington, Kan, read like
experience in their own plain, truthful language:

stipation. / did not get any better going through
that terrible operation. My bowels were dead -
no action at all-and the doctors gave me up. /
could not eat anything but stale bread and water,
literally starving to death. Lost over 100 pounds
and was a living skeleton. After trying everything

would help me. But they did right away. COM

closest and most important character Let
me explain: Hitherto, American capital
has found ample field for investment ut
home. Its increase has been so enormous
in: recent years that it now seeks invest
ment abroad. Mexico is the most proiitabde
field to which 1t can turn I am not alone
in this opinion. Many OF the most eminent
American financiers think SO. In the past,
Mexico has been compelled To seek the
capital size required abroad-in London
and other financay centres. Possessing
strong government, which is certain to be
perpetuated, she can confidently look TO
the United States for all that she may
need in the future. Her natural resources
are practically iimitless. With q popula-
tion of only fourteen millions at the pres
emit time she is capable of supporting two
hundred millions OF people. The United
States has exercised a tremendous In
fIuence on Mexico, and every Mexican is
proud that orr great sister republic has
become the first power in the world :"

Nix. aTONTAGUE'S FRIENDS.
BY uhe way, there is a general impress
sion that Mr.. Montague, while unquestion-
abby very stroHg with the people through
ont the State, lacks an organization. The
impression is erroneous. A supporter of
his said a day or two ago that Afr. Mon
tague had 3, more or less thorough orSani-
zation in every county in Virginia.
The prediction is made that he will car
ny every county in the First District and
nearly an of the Eighth and Ninth. The
Third is expected to yield him q good har-
vest; some counties of the Fourth, it is
said, Will give him delegates, and other
districts are expected by his friends to
treat him equally we'll.
WHAT'S DIR. SWANSON DOING?
No man lSnoweth what Mr. Swanson and
his friends are doing. They are making
no claims. There is no lurrah, not the
slightest whisper which the strained ears
of an opponent cnn catch. He has power
fml strength. Powerful backing.
And he is working. No man in Fir-
word than Claude Swanson. Ask George
AZ Helms, superintendent of the peniten-
tiary; or Joseph w. South:lEl, superintend-
ent of public Instruction.; or Judge S. q.
Whittle, soon to be Judge of the SUI

Swanson is a worker, not u plodder IN
any sense. There is nothing ofEthe cart

WILL HISTORY REPEAT?
The position which Mr. Echols occupies
in this campaign is Very Interesting. He.
k,!c.NIs,. and all his friends know, that
he Will so into the convention with far
fewer delegates than any other candidate.
He knows that either Montague or Swan
