REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

On account OF the delay in publlca-
ton ii Is possible to convey to our
readers some events which have oc-
Cured since Wednesday noon, the
usual hour OF closing the forms.
The controversy regarding the Of
ficers which should this spring be
elected In Lewistown was heard by
Judge Cheadle Wednesday evening,
and shortly after noon today the
court rendered its decision, holding
that all officers should be chosen.
Judge Cheadle stated that he regret
ted very much that the action had
been instituted so late, practically
compelling a decision on his part
without opportunity to investigate
the law and the presidents as he de-
sired to do before passing Oh 80 i'm
portant a matter. The decision was
long, but In effect upheld the conten-
ton Of the Democrats, and the court
explained that he was largely infiu-
enced to this belief by the fact that
should the case be appealed, as he
hoped 1t would, and his position be
reversed, it would cause less trouble
were all officers to be elected than II
the present mayor and three council
men ere to hold over. Inclosing he
again expressed his annoyance with
the circumstances compelling n de-
cision on such short notice, with but
a few hours for consideration.
The Republicanconyention assemb-
led In the court room ut , p. m, and
with all but one delegate present.
Mayor Cook, Aldermen Eldridge,
Bebb, Wright, Shields, Brassey and
Stoddard were unanimously renom-
mated; A. T. Wright was nominated
for city treasurer and the place Of
police magistrate was left to be filed
by the committee.
The resolutions adopted by thecon-
vention were as follows:
"Resolved, We, the Republicans OF
the city Of Le%wistown, in convention
assembled, commend the present Re-
publican administration In conduct.
ing the affairs OF this city and con.
graduate the citizens on their wise
and economical administration. w
call attention to the fact that the
present administration has rendered
every pledge made the citizens before
the last election and pledge n contin.
uance OF that policy. We believe In
the wisdom of the present council In
compelling sidewalks to be placed up
on gradeand In undertaking the work
Of efficiently and economically i'm
proving the streets, and to n contin.
uation Of this work we pledge our
candidates. We also commend the
spirit OF non-partisansbip which has
prevailed In the conduction OF the
city's affairs"

NEW SCIENTIFIC PROCESS.
A Preparation Discovered That WIN Destroy
the Dandruif Germ.

For some time 1t has been known
that dandruif IL caused by n germ
that digs up the scalp little white
flakes and by sapplng the vitality Of
the hair at the root causes falling
hair and, OF course, finally badness.
For years there have been all kinds
Of hair stimulants and scalp tones
on the market, but there had been no
permanent cure for dandruif until the
discovery Of n preparation called
Newbro's Herpicide, which destroys
the dandruif germ. Destroy thecause
and the effect will cease to exist.
Kill the dandruff germ and you'll
have no dandruff, no itching scalp,
no falling hair.

DISEASE GERMS.
What Becomes of Them After the
Death of Their Victimf

Death OF Their t1ctimf
In a recent number of a German jour-
nal devoted to bacteriology an interesting
summary is presented of certain results
attained by DR.. Klein in the course of a
long series of experiments made lately in
which DR.. Klein endeavored successfully
to ascertain what becomes of disease
germs after the death of their victim.
These experiments had very decided
practical value, as the conditions which
they proved to exist dispose effectually
of one of the arguments which has been
often used by advocates of cremation.
These latter have held that disease
germs could retain their vitality for an
indefinitely long period in the buried body
and that therefore cemeteries, in addition
to being harmful because Of the deeaying
Organic matter which they contained,
were positively dangerous because they
acted as immense storage reservoirs for
the bacteria of the different diseases.
DR.. Klein's results correct this mis-
taken idea. In order to carry out his ex-
periments satisfactorily he buried ami
mails which had died from certain known
diseases, disinterred the bodies at the end
of varying periods and examined the
organs for bacteria.
The bacillus of Asiatic cholera was
still living at the end of nineteen days,
but after being buried for twenty eight
no living specimen could be found. The
typhoid fever bacillus was able to exist
for about the same length of time, while
the germ which causes the bubonic plague
was able to survive an interment Of sew
enteen days, but was never found living
at fine end of three weeks
The bacillus of consumption lives for
but a short time after the death of its
victim DR. Klein always found it with
out difficulty in the organs, but was new
er able to obtain a successful culture.
What is perhaps of even greater impor-
lance, he was never able to cause tuber-
culosis by injecting the bacteria thus
found into the system of a healthy ami
mo

Among the surprises of modern city life
nothing astonishes the man from the
country more than the Indifference Of
the horses to the speeding electric cars,
noisy elevated trains and swift motor We

and stampeded all the horses of the city
not so many years ago are regarded with
complacency, and yet the animals have
not lost certain instincts of dread.

Value Of Education.

Once upon a time a crow sat on a
high branch of a tree with large bit
of cheese in his mouth when an envi-
Gus and hungry fox came prowling
along and spied the choice morsel.
"You are a beautiful bird" said the
cunning fox, land yet your great beau
ty is not equal to your marvellous voice,
which charms all of the beasts of the
forest Pray, Mrs. Crow. do let me
hear you sing"
The crow turned her head to one
side, as is the habit with such birds,
and looked at Mr. Fox. Then she de-
hberately ate the cheese and after
clearing her voice spoke.
''Thank you for your compliment,
Mr.. Fox" she said. "If you will wait
minute, will sing for you. | never
speak or sing until after dinner since
/ have been reading ancient fables"
The fox did not wait, but trotted on
his way.

without value-New York Herald.

THOMAS AND NANCY LINCOLN.

'Fit US for humblest service" prayed
This kindly, reverent man,
Content to hold lowly place
In Gods eternal plan;
Content by prairie, wood and stream
The common lot to share
Or help neighbor in his need
Some grievous weight to bear,
Then trustfully resigned the life
That had fulfilled his prayer.
And she in Indiana's grave
This many year who lies
Mother and wife whose yearning soul
Looked sadly from her eyes
Who, dying, called her children close
AS the last shadow fell
And babe them ever worship God
And love each other well,
Then to her forest grave was borne,
The wind her funeral knell
So drear, so lone, who could have dreamed
The boy her bed beside
Forth from that cabin door would walk
Among earth's glorifed7
But, 10, his name from sea to sea
Gives patriotism wings;
Upon his brow crown is set
Grander than any kings,
And to these fameless graves his fame
Tender remembrance brings.
All, still the humble God doth choose
The mighty to confound;
Still them that fear and follow him
His angels campeth round,
And while by Indiana's woods
Ohio, murmuring, flows
And Illinois green levels shine
In sunsets parting glows;
While Lincoln's name is dear, our hearts
Will hallow their repose.

An English writer declares that not
until a woman reaches the age of forty
does she reach the maximum of her power
over susceptible members of the opposite
sex. Her face" says the writer refer
red to, may have lines that sweet and
twenty regards with dismay; her figure
may be fuller than sweet seventeen
deems graceful; it may even be that art
has to step in where nature fails in the
matter of hair and complexion, but it is
manner which tells. In carriage, in in
terest in thought, the woman Of forty at
the present day is as young as her
daughter less than half her years, but
her mind is better balanced, her judg-
ments are clearer"
