APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN.

The political life of many Logan
county young men win begin with the
present presidential campaign There
may be question in the minds of some
OF them as to what political party TO
lend their support. Secretary John
Hay has seen the need OF advice on
this subject and has Issued an appeal
70 young men urging them to use their
better Judgment in making their
choice He remarks that one entering
business would be glad of the chance to
become one of an established firm with
years Of success behind il. Since ev-
erything great done by this country in
the last fifty years has been done under
the auspices of the Republican party,
this fact IL priceless asset in the favor
OF young man who links himself to
this political faith The young nan
who joins the party Of Lincoln and
Grant, Hayes and Garfield, Harrison
and Mckinley shares the wealth of
principles. memories and sacred as
sociations. There must Ue two parties
In orr form of government. but what
young man would not rather belong to
the party that does things. instead of
one that opposes them; to the party
that looks up. rather than down: to
the party Of the dawn. rather than of
the sunsetf
Secretary Hay calls to the mind of
the young voter how for fifty years the
Republican party has believed in the
county and labored for ii in hope and
Joy; bow it has reverenced the flag snd
followed it; how II has carried Ii un-
der strange skies and planted 1t in far
recedi1g horizons; how it has seen the
nation grow greater every yesr snd
more respected extending its inter
course and influence to regions unknown
TO our fathers. He assures the first
voters that the grand old party is not
dAunted by progress nor afraid of the
light and that the fabric our fathers
builded viii stand all shocks of fate or
fortuna The coming generation is
urged to take the flaming torch from
the hands no longer able to hold il aud
10 help in the work of shedding its
clear light that the truth may be
shown TO the ages that are to come.

Chairman Babcock Talks About the
Congressional Campaign Now In
Progress

Chairman Babeoek Talks About the
Congressional Campaign Now In
Progress
Washington, Aug. 30.-Chairnan
Joseph w. Babcock. of the republican
congressional committee, yesterday
expressed the opinion that the present
Is the closest congressional campaign
he has experienced since 1898.
What .are the conditions which
make the congressional campaign
closer this year than Il has been since
1882" Mr.. Babcock was asked.
They differ in localities" he re-
sponded- I'm some the conditions re-
suit from the character of the national
campaign In others the conditions
are almost entirely local. Then, in
some cases, the difficulty is over the
kind Of men nominated for congress.
In Nebraska. where there are six
members of the house to fight for, the
democrats have abandoned the ma
tional campaign. They have fused
and congressional tickets, but not on
presidential electors.
Nearly all the congressional dis
tricts In the state are close. We re-
deemed four OF those districts two
years ago. but they have been going
one way or the other by very narrow
margins, in some instances by IL or Is
or 20 votes.
There is not much interest In cam
paign literature We are sending out
speeches on the tariff and some mat
ter relating to the Panama canal;
also a few democratic speeches. like
that Of Bourke Cochran on the tariff
But We have not had a real campaign
Of education since 1898.
I'VE expect to have good deal of
speaking. There are about a dozen
of the leading republican members of
the house on whom we are relying"

and put healthy tone into the whole

There are some people who can lose
fat to advantage, but the loss of flesh is
one of the accepted evidences of failing
health As fiesh-making processes be-
gin in the stomach, so naturally when
there is loss of flesh we look FIRST to the
stomach for the cause. And the cause
Is generally found to be disease of the
stomach and digestive and nutrive tracts,

sex county, New Jersey, March 20.

to Delaware county. Ohio, in 1885 and
in September Of the year 1860 was
united In marriage 10 Burton J. Condit
and went to Licking county, Ohio.
where they established home in
which We're born to them three chill
dren, two daughters and one son, who
with the husband remain to mourn
the loss Of a loving mother and faith
full helpmeet. In the spripg of 1900
she came to Logan county and resided
near Middleburg. In the winter of
1908 she was stricken with heart dis
ease and never regained her strength.
In April of the present year she went
to Columbus TO make her home with a
SON and daughter who had bought a
home near Camp Chase SO that mother
might have all done that medical
science and careful nursing could do to
restore her to heslth but of no avail.
After 1t became apparent that human
hands could do no more than alleviate
her suffering she fingered for many
weeks until the frail tenement of clay
worn by sickness and disesse could no
longer retain the free spirit which re-
turned in peace to the Gcd who gave
it. On the sth day of August as the
sun was setting the change came.
Funeral services at the home We'd
nesdsy afternoon were conducted by
Rev. s. s. Palmer, of the Broad
Street Presbyterian church. assisted
by Rev. Wesly Hatcher, of the Chicago
Avenue Church of Christ. Thursday
morning the mortal remains of Cathar-
inc Condit were laid to rest in the
beautiful cemetery at KirkersvilIe.
The casket was covered with beauti-
full flowers, the offerings of loving
friends.
Possessed of q generous, loving ma
ture and rare gifts as an entertainer
she gathered about her host of loyal
friends. Her life was one of intense
activity and her great purpose was
ever to do good. Her membership in
the Presbyterian church was retained
through life commencing at an early
age in the Old White church ON Biz
Walnut in Delaware county. The true
friend, the faithful wife. the loving
mother is at rest and there is q great
void in the hearts and lives of thoss
who loved her that never can be filled
