THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

county last Saturday to nominate
Democratic candidates for county and
district offices was a holly contested
one, but it passed off rather more
quietly than had been anticipated
There was no disturbance of any kind
so far as we have learned. The result
was remarkable in the decisive major
tiles given for the successful candi-
dates. Most persons thought the vote
would be a great deal closer than II
was. Perhaps the hardest fight was
for sheriff. The ticket headed by J.
W. Gardner won by $40 majority
over that led by William Wilt, the
vote standing 1881 for Gardner to
95l for Wilt.
For prosecuting attorney James NJ
Mason, Jr., was elected by majority
of Ala over F. L. Bushong and Geo.
NJ. Beltzhoover, Jr. The vote stood
Mason 1859, Bushong $50, Beltz-
hoover 496. Mr.. Beltzhoover got a
big vote in Shepherdstown, his old
home, having a majority in every
precinct. William Campbell, for the
State Senate, had a total Of 1888
against 524 for R. G, Burkhart, of
Berkeley county. Mr.. Burkhart
carried Moler's precinct by majority
of four. The vote for Judge was T..
C. Green 864, Moore 814, Beckwith
81, Faulkner 498. Judge Faulkner
carried Harper's Ferry and one pre-
cinct in Shepherdstown. Nelson R.
Roberts was elected county commits
sioner by a majority of 1925 over
Gerard D. Moore, the vote standing
1856 to GAL. E. w. Athey, of Shep-
herdstown was elected assessor in the
second district, and Charles W. Con-
rad, of Ripon, in the first district.
Both had decisive majorities. For
members of the House of Delegates
c. NJ. Wetzel had no opposition and
received 2,257 votes. James X.
Hendricks was also fortunate enough
to have no opponent for county sur
veyor and received 1888 votes.
About $3.50 votes were cast in the
county.

No Insurance,
At the time of the fire there was no

shown by the records there never was
any insurance carried on the capitol
prior to 1897 No act of the legislature
had ever been passed per,oining to the
insurance Of the capitol or other state

that session, the legislature with a

cause Of the fire in the capitol.
He reviews in careful detail the
extent of the damage, discusses his
powers and duties in the premises un-
der the law. approves the action al
ready taken by the capitol building
commission and declares that to call
special session of the legislature
would be a useless expenditure of
thousands Of dollars.
He says that the latest expert eX-
animation OF the building places the
actual property loss at S25O,000, thar
one of the most reputable contractors
in the state is ready now to take a
contract for $275,00O to build anew
that part of the building destroyed
or damaged, but that it does not APP
pear wise to let such contract,
Though the governor has the au-
thority) until the legislature has
spoken.
The governor announces that the
expenditure Of $4,000 Immediately
would repair the north and south
wings permanently and fix other
PARTS of the building for comfortable
use. After reviewing the work of
the capitol building commission and
discussing his powers to repair or re
store the building under the state in.
strance law, he declares that he will
make the immediate expenditure of
some $4,000, house the government
conveniently in the capitol and await
the action of the legislature to de.
eide either to restore the capitol or
build a new and larger one. The
statement is as follows:

To be Derived Are
Many
And Citizens Are Asked to
Arrange Exhibits and
Attend the Show.

The Logan county fair which will
be held August 10th to 10Th will be the
ffty-fourth annual fair which shows
the permanency of our annual exhibit,
which has contributed to the progress,
wealth and happiness of our citizens.
We ask the people of this and sdjoin-
ing counties to attend and receive the
benefits to be derived therefrom.
There is no enterprise that exerts
such direct influence in the farming,
stock raising and commercial interests
of the county as the annual county
fair.
Object lessons as practiced at our
fair are the most instructive and profit
able kind of lessons. They appeal to
the man. woman or child as no other
lesson can, exertipg an influence i'm
pressive and lasting; new ideas. new
methods annually displayed rebound
to the benefit of all classes. There is
not home, farm or a business that
is not benfited by the fair, and the
measure of your benefit is measured by
the interest you take in the fair.
Our fair is an institution of the
people, for the people and by the peopl,
and it should be patronized by tbs
people. Our 1904 fair should be made
the best we ever had, and that ther,
may be no disappointment the manage
ment asks you to do your part.

Y. M. c. A. EXCURSION.

The remark is quite frequently made
that excursion trips are so tiresome
and instead of giving the recreation
and rest desired are wearing upon one 6
nervous system. This, without doubt.
is true of many excursions.
But this is not true when an excur-
sion is planned having in mind the
comfort and pleasure of those who at
tend. When the trip is not too long
and the destination affords relaxation
the effect is invigoratIng rather than
wearisome.
The trip over the Big Four to San
dusky and from there via beautiful
lake steamers to Cedar Point, Putin
Bay, Lakeside and other noted places
affords trip of real merit and pleas
ure. More people visit there than go
to all other watering places combined
in this section of the country.

places on August 23rd
