Fat is of great account to a baby that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott's E m Il ion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and nus cle. Fat babies are happy they do not cry they are rich :: their fat is aid LID for time of need. They are happy because tn ey are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scravny tn os e nerves are hurt at every ungentle touc Il.

between the two men, the Off
cial world did all in its power
to discourage the idea that Vice
Admiral 'Skrydloff's appoint
ment to command the Russia
feet at Port Arthur could lead
Admiral Alexieff to take a
hasty step. Skrydloff himself
has had a long interview with
the emperor, and it is consider
ed quite probable now that the
situation is the subject of pub
lie discussion that a way may
be found to smooth matters
over for the present in order to
preserve appearances.

SERIOUS FIRE AvERTED.

Burning Coal Fell from stove In SOUTH
ern Merchant Tailoring 8nilding.
What would have been q serious fire
was averted Wednes dav by the timely
and thoughtful act OF several yoang
men in putting out the blaze in the
place of business of the Southern
Merchant Tailoring 90. on West King
street. The fire which was blazing on
the second floor of the building was
noticed by the gentlemen as they
were returning from the performance
at the opera house, and they at once
forced their way into the building,
and succeeded in putting out .the fire
which had made considerable head
way.
1t is supposed that a burning coal
fell from the stove to the floor, ignit-
ing the rubbish that happened to BE
laying around. and If it had not been
seen when it was, there is no doubt
that serious fire would have been the
result.

Above Zero, and the discomfort
was Great and GensraI.
The decidedly cold wave which
swept down over this section yester-
day evening, and continued through
oft the night with added severity. has
caused widespread damage to the
fruit in nearly every part of BERKELEY
county. The warm weather Of the
past week brought the buds out on
manv peach and apricot trees, and
the Sudden change In the temperature
nipped the bloom in killing manner,
destroying nearly everything that had
shown life under the coaxing rays Of
the sun.
While there was verv little humidity
in the atmosphere, the temperature
was yet low enough to cause general
freeze. In some parts Of the county
the mercury dropped to IS degrees
above zero, forming ice at all exposed
points. Little frost was noticed, as
the atmosphere was dry and biting,
and filled with singing PARTICLES OF
dust which added to the general dis
comfort. In MANY homes fires, which
had been allowed TO die were hastily
rekindled, and heavy coats and wraps
were brought into reqnisition.

The democratic state convention
was called to order Wednesday al
Charleston with the largest number
OF delegates IN attendance ever
known In West Virginia The state
convention named four delegates.at
large to the st, Louis convention, and
democratic conventions Of the five
congressional districts, which aIso
met there yesterday, selected district
delegates to ST. Louis.
Contests were waged not only On
the selection Of delegates and alter
mates, but also on the question Of In
dorsement and Instructions The
state convention was called to order
by Chairman Miller 81 the state com-
mittee. G. Wood Daily, Of Elkins,
was named as temporary chairman
w. T. ,. Byrne, Of Charleston, waa
made temporary secretary.
The chief and most interesting
incident Of the meeting was the strong
speech delivered by former Senator
Henry @. Davis, who Ii expected to
be the gubernAtorial nominee.
The "big FOUR selected BY the State
convention were;
Ex-senator Henry q. Davis, Of
Randolph county.
Ex-senator Johnson N. Camden, Of
Wood.
Ex-Gov. Nv. A. AlcCorklc, Of kan
awha.
Owen s. Mckinney. Of Marion.
They were elected by reclamation.
Only two other names were presented
In nomination.
At the First district democratic con
vention Charles II. fancy, Of Wheel

The sentiment was strong against
binding the delegation to the support
OF any candidate for first place on the
national ticket, and the fourteen del
egates will 60 to st. Louis uninstruct-
ed. The watchword Of the conven-
ton was "a united democracy" and
the efforts OF the leaders OF the con-
sentative wing we're all toward pro-
noting harmony In the ranks and
these efforts prevailed. 1t Is believed
that the the West Virginia. delegation
has q decided leaning toward the
candidacy Of Judge Parker. hut sen

As suggested In the Graphic two
weeks ago the turning down OF Judge
Palda, and the nomination Of Mr.. Goss
of Bottineau for Judge of this district.
was accepted none too kindly by the
great majority of tho people who knew
Judge Palda, and now there is = strong
move on foot by largo body of repub-
licans to call Judge Palda out ~ an
independent candidate for reelection
to the place he is now filing, and the
Graphic hopes the move will prove
successful. Should Judge Palda consent
to make the run, the Graphic expresses
the belief that the democrats. in their
judicial convention called to be held at
Minot on the oath inst, will make no
nominations. but endorse Judge Pslda's
candidacy. This will be carrying out
the time honored principles Of the
democratic party to eliminate politics
from the judiciary. Judge Palda is
to-day one Of the youngest judges in
the state. and he il also one OF the
ablest. He has been on the bench in
this district about two years, and dur
ing that time, by his courte Gus treat
ment of the bar and other court officers,
and his consideration of the public
welfare at large, have made many warm
friends among the people OF the Eighth
Judicial district who would rally to bis
support unsolicited and regardless OF
party or political affiliations.

D. M. Holmes of Grand Forks, demo.
cratic candidate for Insurance Commiss-
Toner. is one Of the best known men in
the state, and one Of the most capable
men that could possibly have been
selected for that important Office. For
two terms Mr.. Holmes held the Office of
county treasurer of Grand Forks county,
and he was universally acknowledged to
have been the most efficient officer
that county ever had. He was once .
candidate on the democratic ticket for
governor Of the state, and although be
failed OF election. he ran several hum
dred votes ahead of his ticket. thus
showing the high esteem in which be
was held, and the great confidence
placed in him among the republican
voters who we're best acquainted with
him, The Office OF commissioner Of
insurance is very important one in the
state Of North Dakota. and the demo-
Gratis acted wisely in selecting him for
the position, for bis whole LIES bust
ness has been such az to flt him for the
discharge of it's duties.

Unredeemed Pledges.

In the republican campaign test book
for 1904 it is asserted:
1.-THE pledges of 1895 and those made
in 1900 have been redeemed.
In 1896 the republican party promised
reciprocity ION such terms as will
equalize our trade with other nations,
remove the restriction which now oh.
structs the sale Of American products
in the ports of other countries and
secure and enlarge the products of our
farms, forests and factories" but that
pledge has not been edeemed.
In 1895 the republican party said
"We are opposed to the free coinage
OF silver except by international
agreement with the leading CONNER
cial nations Of the earth, which agree

The text hook refers to "the relation
Of the trusts to the nomination of the
