The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention called for May Bird, came off
promptly at Keyser on that day. The
convention was not large bat big in
enthusiasm. Col. Thomas b. Davis
was nominated and accepted the honor
and has already entered into the fight
with the spirit of confidence. Col.
Davis is II years old, vigorous and
young in appearance for his years. He
was the Democratic nominee in 1900
against Dayton but was defeated. The
Col. is one of the most popular men in
West Virginia, and is deservedly so.
He is kind-hearted and generous and
II can be truthfully said that those who
know him best love him most. .Berke-

bodies OF all the tribe are thus constantly exposed

civilized had probably as great effect in under
mining their bodily resistance as the heated and
ill-ventiated houses in which they lived. Nentn-
alton as between the Navajo hogan and the railway

intelligence can understand. The moment child

accustomed to the purest air at night, begins to
breathe air which is also breathed by many other
men, the microbe is present to take advantage
of the first cold or chill. Like the chllds, the
Navaios system is virgin soil for disease to seize

that We lead makes clear to the dulest eye the
immense extent to which artificial modes OF

tact with the whites and the white mans vices IN
the wav OF Incorporate living brought to them the
white mans diseases. They occupy, on their
sixteen thousand square miles OF reservation IN

western corner of New-MexicO a territory IN which
the extremes of temperature winter and summer,

Their intelligence IS of high order.
