There is nothing so pleasant as that
bright, cheerful, at-peace with the
world feeling when you sit down to
your breakfast. There is nothing so
conducive to good work and good re-
suits. The healthy man with healthy
mind and body is better fellow, bet
ter workman, better citizen than the
man or woman who is handicapped by
some disability, however slight. A
slight disorder of the stomach Will de-
range your body, your thoughts and
your disposition. Get away from the
morbidness and the blues. Keep your
stomach in tune and both your brain
and body will respond. Little indis-
cretions of overeating can be easily
corrected and you will be surprised to
see how much better man you are. Try

The Republican Congressional Convention


The Republican congressional con-
vention for the second district, as
briefly announced in our last issue. re-
suited in the nomination of Hon. Geo.
O. Sturgiss, of Morgantown, as the
candidate of his party. The conven.
ton was very tame. No other name
was presented, Mr.. Keim having with.
drawn when it became apparent that
Mr.. Sturgiss had a majority of the
delegates. Ira Robinson, of Grafton,
was chairman of the convention. A.
]. Welton. put Mr.. Sturgiss, in nomi-
nation, N. B Eeim made the second
ing speech, a;.l the nomination was
then made by reclamation. Mr.. Stur'
giss made a characteristic able speech
in accepting the honor.
Among the resolutions offered was
one of fulsome eulogy for Senator Ell
kins, extolling him for his part in
passing the railroad rate regulation
bill, which, the resolution declared,
would insure prosperity to shippers,
enhance the value of farm lands, make
West Virginia paradise and in gen.
eral hurry up the millennium; and it
advocated the return of Mr.. Elkins to
the Senate. The Hon. Johnnie Het-
eel, of Martinsburg, wouldn't stand
for this, and moved that the resolution
be stricken out. He declared that
Senator Elkins had not earned the
Endorsement. He pointed to tae fact
that when the Governor of West Vir.
ginia sought redress for independent
shippers OF the State, Disseminated
against by corporations, he did not
send his appeal to Mr.. Elkins, Sena-
tor from his State, but he sent it to
Senator Tillman, Democrat Of South
Carolina. While Senator Elkins was
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Committee of the Senate, be never
made a report to the Senate on the
rate question. 1t was Senator Till
man that made it. When Senator
Elkins discovered that the matter
could not be laughed out Of the Sen
ate, said Mr.. Hetzel, when he saw the
inevitable, he jumped in and tried to
appropriate the credit for doing some.
thing that others had done, and "posed
as the biggest man in the bunch. "
Mr.. Elkins sought to take the credit,
the speaker said, for something he had
never been honest or sincere in advo.
eating.
Mr.. Hetzel's remarks caused some
thing of a sensation, and some of Mr..
Elkinss friends warmly defended him,
Though good many delegates pr.
vately thought Mr.. Hetzel was right,
they agreed that it was best not to
air family trouble, so the resolution
was adopted with the other that had
been cut and dried.
There wasn't much enthusiasm about
the convention. The only real ap-
plause was that given to Hon. Thomas
B. Davis, the Democratic Congress.
man from this district. He was in
vited to seat on the platform. and
the delegates cheered him tremendous
ly when he made his appearance.
1t is said that Mr.. Keim's friends
are very seriously disgruntled at the
treatment be received, and that they
will not do much toward the election
of Mr.. Sturgiss in the approaching
campaign. Mr.. Sturgiss, however,
says that he expects to win by a ma.
jority Of about 1000.

garded by many prominent men as A great
victory for law and order. officials main
tain that its Importance viii be far
reaching. Little has been known IN the
country generally of the momeutous battle
that has just been ended in ina. far
Western State, but Idaho has been in a
condition Of intense excitement ever since
the contest opened The real issue was
whether the state should be dominated
by the lawless element Of the Western
Federation of Miners. or by those who
were resolved that iawlessness should
end. GOvernOr-elect Gooding ran on a
platform that called for the punishment
of the mUrderers of former Governor
Steunenberg. a Populist. who was as
ssssinated by the use Of dynamite
Steunenberg had dealt vigorously with
rioting striking miners. and after his
death one Of those arrested for the crime
confessed that certain officers of the
Western Federation OF Miners had decreed
Steunenbcrg's assassination. In the cam
paign just ended, the Democrats sought
10 cloud the real issue by maintaining that
the contest was between union labor and
nonunlon labor. Fred T. Dubois, the Dem
ocratic United States Senator from Idaho.
raised a little issue of his own.
He contended that the success Of the
Republican party meant the domination
Of the State by the Mormon Church. and
ran on that platform Gooding came out
squarely against intimidation by labor
unions and pledged himself TO bring the
murderers Of Steunenberg TO justice
Only about 10000 votes were cast in idaho
in 1894, and from this it viii be seen
