STATE NAMES FOR HOTEL ROOMS

Sin little town in the backwoods Of
Mississippi" remarked travelling man
'there is peculiar hotel. 1t is just like
any other hotel, except in the way the
rooms are named. they are not numbered
as is generally done, but each room is
named for State of the United States.
When | stopped at the place / was as
signed to a room called Delaware 1t
was correctly named, too, for it was one
OF the smallest rooms in the house. A
man who was occupying New Hamp-
shire. made complaint to the landlord
that the man in Maine was drunk and
boisterous and was thus keeping him
awake. This seemed strange, when we
recall that Maine is prohibition State.
"Two men up in Montana were keep
9 mp the reputation Of the Wild West
by engaging noisy poker game. A big
fat capitalist had New York. which was
the best room in the house. The room
named for Alabama is too ordinary for
anything and farmer was occupying it
the night was there. 1t was funny to
stand in the office and hear bell boy tell
the clerk that towels were wanted in
Iowa. and that the fellow in North Da-
kota' vas kicking like steer because he
had no fire.
ssSend two Manhattan cocktails IN to
Mississippi was one of the orders the
clerk gave. Be sure to call the man in
Florida at O'Clock in the morning,
said one Of the employees. And thus it
went. .This-hotel is a curiosity to the
travelling public. 1t is conducted by an
eccentric old fellow, but where he con-
ceiyed the idea Of naming rooms after
States do not know.

WHOLE FAMILY WIPED OUT
James Tribbitt, Wife and Children die
Within Month

Battling the efforts of four expert physi-
clans and whole community OF aroused
and sympathetic people, the entire family
of James Tribbitt, of Henderson, Md, has
been wiped out. The deaths in their or
der, and the shocking evenness OF inter-
walls between the awful calamities to the
family, follow: August 9Th, Mrs. Irene
Tribbitt, wife and mother OF the family;
August 18th, Miss Florence, daughter, IS
years old; August 10Th, Miss FANNIE,
daughter, Is years old; September 9th,
William, oldest son, q years old, married
and leaves wife and child; September
25th. James Tribbitt, husband and father,
As years old, said to have died from
broken heart and exhaustion. The last
death. that of the husband and father.
which occurred Tuesday, was really the
result OF a broken heart, as the father had
passed through such siege OF affilction
and beartrendings that even his strong
constitution could not sustain MN.
Three little children remain at the
CHASTITY home-all ill with the same dis
ease. A grown son, Robert, has been
sent to the Delaware Hospital, Whining
ton, in the hope of special treatment
there bringing about his recovery. a
cousin, Victor Tribbitt, OF near Clayton
wbo came and sacrificed himself to nurse,
his relatives and at whose suggestion Dr.
]. S. Cobb Of Clayton, who has been sue
cessful in typhoid cases was called, Pc
came i'll and was also sent to the VII
mington hospital.
When the deadly malady first attacked
the Tribbitt family it was looked upon as
malaria and the farmer who was poor but
thrifty, did not call in a physician until
it was too late. AS the condition OF the
other members Of the family grew worse
other physicians were called in to consult
with DR.. Silver, the local physician in at
tendance. DR.. J. S. Cobb, OF Clayton,
was sent for as was also DR.. Graham OF
Ingleside. These physicians Hnuiilg llieii
remedies unavailing, summoned DIR. J. y.
George Of Denton, the Maryland State
Board Of Health's expert physician on
contagious diseases. DR.. George declared
that the drinking water must be cut on
and he obtained a specimen Of it and sent
it to tile John Hopkins University at
Baltimore.
ssThe water is full OF poison and not fit
for stock to drink was the word sent
back by the analytical chemists.
At Henderson a gloomy account OF the
CHASTITY visitation Of the grim monster
was given, and everybody seemed terribly
depressed over the events OF the past two
months. At first there we're runners that
an enemy had poisoned the famlly's
drinking water, but the analysis alter
ward made is said not to have borne this
out.-DOrpr NeEs,

PROGRESS

PkUUkESS
Senator Alice, as Chairman OF
the Union Republican State Com
mittee, has called a meeting OF
that Committee for Monday next
at Dover, while the purpose OF
this meeting is not announced,
it is generally understood to be
to consider the action taken last
Saturday by the Republican
State Committee, which author
lied the Chairman, ex-senator
Ball, to name a committee OF
five to consult with a like com
mittee Of the Union Republicans.
This is decided advance to-
wards harmony. We do not be-
lieve that the Union Republican
committee can refuse this offer OF
a parley. The people all over
the state who believe in Republi-
can principles and who desire
Republican success are demand
ing that some steps be taken
looking to one State Convention,
one state, county. and district
ticket, one organization and one
party. Some sore-heads and dis
gruntled office seekers may try
to obscure the issue and talk
about "bolters" or "Adddicks-
ites," but the Republican masses,
the men who do the voting, and
the workers who attend to the
actual labor of the campaign are
ready to let by gones be by
cones, wipe off the slate and
start fresh.
To do this properly, the first
thing necessary is to elect a Sen
atUr to fiji the Vacancy which has
existed since the expiration of
the term Of L. Fl. Ball on March
4th, last Objection has been
raised to this that it will cost
$4,000 or $4,000. We do not
believe it will cost anywhere near
this amount nor the half of it.
But, admitting that it should do
so, it will not bankrupt the state,
and it is a duty devolved upon
the state to perform. As one
Of the constituent parts Of the
U. S., it is not only a right
and privilege for Delaware to
have two senators, but it is a sol
emn and important duty. A
duty to itself a duty to the Re
publican party and a duty to the
other States in the Union. In no
other way can the parity and
equality Of the States be main
tanned. Delaware has too long
had the finger of derision pointed
at her and the vacant seat or
seats, to permit a matter of cost
stand in the way of performing
this duty.
After the Senator has been
chosen, it will be in order to pro-
coed to an amalgamation. This
is a process that we think will
take time. We do not agree with
some writer's, who claim that the
two State Committees can ar
range terms under which, one
state convention may be held.
One serious, and we believe
fatal objection to this is that the
apportionment Of delegates, be-
ing made by a State Convention
can only be changed by a sue
ceeding State Convention. There
fore, we are Of the opinion that it
will be necessary to have two
conventions, one by and of each
party to arrange the terms for
holding convention. If these
two preliminary conventions
should be called for the same day
and place, we are positive that
these terms could easily ard
quickly be arranged. If 100 Re
publicans and 1876 Union Republi-
cans assemble in the same town
at the same time, no power can
prevent their amalgamation to
secure the result desired. Speed
the day when this will be as
sured.

There are cases where an operation
is the only resource, but when one con.
siders the great number of cases OF
ovarian and womb trouble cured by
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Loss of strength, extreme nervousness
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after
making an examination, said | had ovarian
trouble and liberation and advised an opera
ton. To this strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. The liberation quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and / am
once more strong, vigorous and well"
Ovarian and womb troubles are stead
lily on the increase among women. If
the monthly periods are very painful,
or too frequent and excessive-if YOU
have pain or swelling low down in the
left side, bearing down pains, leucor-
rh9a, don't neglect yourself try Lydia
Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1905-04-26

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
centers are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring a host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.

Another War Hero,

Mrs. Peckem-We often hear of men
who perform deeds of heroism for the
sake of their country, but one never
hears of a man performing a daring act
to prove his love for a woman.
Peckam-I-I'm sure | did, my dear.
Mrs. Peckem-You! Why. what brave
thing did you ever do, I'd like to know.
Peckem-I-er-let you marry me,
dida't |?
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1905-04-26

This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of
the difficulty by correcting the diges-
ton.
Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women. especially those who have voca-
tions than are trying to the nerves.

AVOIDED
EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY
She Was Told That an Operation Wa
Inevitable. How She Escaped It

When q physician tells a woman suf.
fering with ovarian OF womb trouble
that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming
for ovarian or womb operations.

Superintendent Nash has cleared up
the work Of examining the papers sent
to the Office from the examinations of
teachers held in the different counties Of
the state last month, and gives out the
summaries of the work. A total of 100
sets of papers, embracing S,3SS individ-
ual papers were sent in and handled by
the marking board. A larger number of
applicants tried for state certificates than
at any former examination, twenty-niae
such applications coming in, eleven of
these from Brown County, and Of these
eighteen received certificates. For first
grade certificates 108 applications came
in, Of which 43 secured the grade certif-
Gates for which they applied, and 81
were granted second grade certificates
on their showing, with five failures to
get any grade. There were 632 applica-
tons for second grade certificates, OH
which o certificates were granted, and
these with the first grade applicants who
were given second grades make 464 Sec
ond grade certificates granted, making a
total of 525 certificates of all classes
granted out of the 769 applicants. This
was 6S per cent of the total number,
which is a different showing from the
Minnesota examinations n few weeks
ago where SO per cent failed to get
through. The poorest showing was on
spelling, in which a list of words was
pronounced to be written out OF the pa
pers, one applicant getting but two words
Of the list correct. The list was: Icicle,

allel, cemetery, preceding, restaurant,
