But, the speaker continued yehemently.
tho pastors and Sunday school teachers
have not yet awakened to the fact that

way and with a wider scope than they

its papers 1t is affoding help to the SUM

Democrats Win.
Col. Thos. B. Davis Elected
to Congress by Over
1000 Majority.
Landslide in the Second District.

The special election for Congress
man in the second West Virginia Dis
trict on Tuesday resulted In genu-
inc landslide in favor of the Demo-
cratic candidate. Col. Thomas B.
Davis, of Keyser, was elected over
James S. Lakin, of Terra Alta, by a
plurality of 1.065, as indicated by
the figures so far received. The ma
iority of Mr.. Dayton over Stuart W..
Walker last tall was about $500.
1t is generally conceded that the
defeat of Mr.. Lakin is distinct blow
at Governor Dawson and the system
of taxation which he represents. Mr..
Lakin himself, in an interview yes
terday, stated that he believed his
defeat was caused by the introduction
of State issues into the campaign. In
Monongalia and Preston counties
there is great opposition to the tax
laws, and many Republicans stayed
at home or openly voted TOR Col. Davis.
In Mineral, Randolph and Tucker
counties the personal popularity of
Mr.. Davis was an important factor.
AS is well known, this election was
a special one caused by the elevation
of Congressman Dayton to the federal
bench. Hon. VIM. L. Wilson was
the last Democrat to serve in the dis
trict, having been defeated by Mr..
Dayton.
The following are the majorities re-
ceived by the two candidates so far as
returns have been received at the
time of going to press:

HOW GERM DISEASES START.

ual State of Danger.

Nearly all disease germs that find
Judgment in the system gain entrance
with the air we breathe, or through
our food and drink.
If the stomach and digestive organs
be weak, so that food does not readily
digest, they will contain sour, Shiny
termenting mass, an ideal spot for
the disease germs to grow and spread
through the whole system.
If you suffer with headache, back
ache, variable appetite, nausea, gnaw-
ing at the pit of the stomach, sallow
skln, heart burn, furred tongue, sleep
lessness, and general debility, it shows
that the stomach has been overworked
and weaketed. A fifty cent box Of
Mi.o-na tablets will give quick and
speedy relief.

WEST VIRGINIA ITEMS.

The commencement exercises OF the
West Virginia University began yes
terday and will continue until June
18th.
Governor Dawson has announced
the appointment of Col. W. W. Scott,
of Falrmont, as brigade commander
of the West Virginia National guard,
to succeed Gen. Clarence L. Smith,
who died recently at his home at Fair
mont.
Fire of supposed incendiary origin
caused $35, 600 damage at TunneIton
the first of the week. The fire was
discovered in the basement of the
Adams & Go. four.story building.
The town has no waterworks, and be-
fore the first bucket brigade could be
formed the flames got beyond control.
The only thing that saved the town
from destruction was the prompt dyn-
amitlng on each side of the burning
buildings. The loss is estimated as
follows: Adams & Co., $4,000; Tun-
Melton Hardware Company, $4,000
John O. Edwards, $4,000; H. W.
Bonafelds, $500; R. S. Phillips,
$500; NJ. C. Gibson, $4,000; W. j..
Lavelle, $4,000; Merchant White,
$3.50.
The grand jury of Marshall county
broke all records when it presented
6.lOl indictments against brewers for
selling beer without retailers licenses
The Jury really finished It's labors
last Wednesday, and big clerical
force has since been engaged upon
preparation for the indictments. They
are based upon a decision by the
State Supreme Court that a license to
brew does not carry with it the right
to SELL The brewers took out licenses
to sell at wholesale or retail, but re-
fused to accept the compromise offer
of Tax Commissioner G. W. Dillon to
settle with the State for two years
back. They will fight the matter
through all the courts, and in the
meantime similar action against them
will be taken in other counties.

man-elect, is II years old. but is
sturdy and active and in the full pos
session of his faculties. Like his
brother, Hon. Henry G. Davis, he is
remarkably well preserved in every

in his manners and habits. He is a

a large part of his fortune being in
the rich coal and timber lands of the
West Virginia Central region. Col.
Davis was candidate for Congress in
1900, but was defeated by Mr.. Day.

flying to him at this time, as he was
ambitious to go to Congress. He says
he will not be candidate for re-elec-
ton, but will retire from politics at
the end of his term.

Col. DAVIS and Mr.. LAEIN being
men Of equally high personal charac-
ter, and there being no issue of ma
tional Importance discussed during
the campaign, it is very evident that
the election of a Democrat in Re-
publican district is intended as a re-
buke TO the State administration re-
sponsible for our present tax laws.
The Democrats made the taxation
question the issue of the campaign,
and the people have expressed them
selves strongly against the new law,
by electing Col. Davis by good ma
jority in nOminally Republican dis
trict.
If the people have done this mere
ly on the new assessment, the result
in the State may be figured out when
they are called on to pay their taxes.

The visit of Captain Lamb to Shep-
herdstown recalled many interesting
"reminiscences of the war as he met
and talked with his old comrades.
He was the guest while here Of Mr..
John P. Kearfott, and on Sunday took
supper with Captain NJ. ]. Billmyer.
The fact was recalled that all three
of these gentlemen were wounded
about the same time in the fighting
in lower Virginia and were in the
same hospital at Richmond while be-
ing treated. Each of them was able
afterward torejoin his regiment and all
are still living, in good health, to re-
count the many string events from
81 to IS.

At the close of his speech, while
the crowd pressed closer to the stand
and manifested the most intense in
terest, Captain Lamb took up the
package in which was wrapped that
precious relic, the battle-fag Of the
famous old Second Virginia Infantry.
After few Introductory remarks he
unfolded and held up to view the
war-worn banner-a torn and latter
ed flag Of red and white, discolored
with age and ragged from the num-
erous bullet holes and the rough usage
it had received in many desperate
struggle. There was cheer az the
flag was held up, but in reality the
emotion of the old veterans was too
deep for expression. Tears started to
the eyes of many as they gazed on
the old flag that they had followed
SO long and which they had not seen
for forty years. Almost all of them
wanted to touch it and handle it, and
it was an impressive sight to see the
emotion that the banner awakened.
Cleon Moore, Esq of Charles Town,
formally received the flag on behalf
of John w. Rowan Camp, Of that
place, in whose custody the relic will
be kept. He carried it back to
Charles Town with him at the con-
clusion of the exercises at the ceme-
terry.
