Political Pot Boils Merrily in Con-
gressional and County Campaigns
w. H. BELL IS WIN
MING FRIENDS ALL
OVER THE COUNTY

In our political column this week
will be found the announcement of
W. II. Bell of Reynoldsville, who
seeks the Republican nomination for
County Treasurer. To large num-
ber of our readers Mr.. Bell is no
stranger, and, therefore, needs no
introduction; but to those who do not
know him personally we would say
that he is Republican Of known
ability and has every qualification nec-
essary to faithfully fill the important
Office to which he aspires. For many
years he has been engaged in the
mercantile business in Reynoldsville,
where, by his fair and honorable treat
ment and square business principles,
he has built up an immense trade, and
is classed among the leading merchants
Of his town.
Although a very busy man, Mr..
Bell has always taken a deep interest
in county politics and has been OF much
service to his party in every i'm
portant campaign In recent years.
Three years ago he spoke to number
of his friends about entering the con-
test for County Treasurer, and received
much encouragement, but after sizing
up the situation and seeing that bitter
contest was imminent, withdrew, with
the understanding that he would be
a candidate three years later. During
that time and the present there have
been many radical changes In the man
ner of nominating county officers, owing
to the new Uniform Primaries Law,
and the result is that there are a
large number of candidates for all
offices to be filed, and especially is this
the case with the Office of Treasurer.
That all these aspirants are good
and worthy men is not denied by
Mr.. Bell, but his impression is that
his candidacy should be seriously con-
sidered on account of the sacrifice he
made three years ago. He is making
an active and thorough campaign and
will place his claims before the people
10 a frank business-like manner. The
verdict of the voters next April, wheth-
er favorable or unfavorable, will be re-
ceived by Mr.. Bell as just one, and
he can be depended upon, as he has
| been for several years, to render the
same valuable assistance and advice,
and, If necessary, to shed his coat and
pitch In for the whole ticket and work
for Its success.
Mr.. Bell Ia possessed OF broad.gauge
principals aud has the intelligence and
tact necessary to putting up winning
fight. II he is successful the people
of the county may rest assured their
money will be In safe hands.-Punxsu-
tawney Republican.

Langham in Indiana, Arnold
in Clarion, and Beale in
Armstrong
WILL CONTEST WITH SMITH
FOR SEAT IN CONGRESS
Every Indication of a Fight All
Along the Line which may In
volve the Senatorial Rotation
Agreement Between Jefferson
and Indiana Counties.

The following article was taken from
the columns Of the Pittsburg Gazette
Times Of January 26, where it appeared
under an Indiana date line:
"The coatost for congressional hon
ors In this district promises to be some
thing out OF the ordinary. Major
Joseph G. Beale, of Leechburg, is the
candidate from Armstrong county. w.
o. Smith, of Punxsutawney, has an
nounced in Jefferson county. ]. N.
Langham, of Indiana, has also entered
the contest. The district is composed
of the counties Of Indiana, Armstrong,
Jefferson and Clarion, Under the new
primary law the candidates must sub
NIT their names to popular vote
throughout the district.
Smith represented the district in
congress for two terms prior to the
election oi Maj. Beale, the present in
cumbent. The rotation rule has always
applied in this district under the old
conferee system, but this may be
changed under the new method of MAX
ing nominations by popular vote. There
is feeling existing here tnat insofar
as the equities existing between Jeffer-
son and Indiana are concerned that it is
unfair for Jefferson to insist on the con-
gressional nomination at this time.
Jefferson is claiming the senatorial
nomination and there has been a dispo-
sition here to concede this nomination
to Jefferson unless the Republicans OF
that county insist upon having both
nominations, under which circum
stance it looks very much as though
there might be contest along all the
lines for AL the offices to be filed.
'Langham who will be put forward
by Indiana, is a mao in the prime of life
and has had very large experience in
public and professional matters. He is
a graduate of the Indiana Normal
school in the class of 1882; was for many
years teacher in the public schools,
after which he read law With ]. N.
Banks Of this bar and was admitted to
practice in 1888. He served as post
master at Indiana during the Harrison
administration. Attorney General Knox
recognizing his fitness for the work,
appointed him as the representative OF
the department OF justice to investigate
certain charges made against federal
judge, the United States district attor-
ney and the delegate to congress and
other matters of this character in the
territory of Oklahoma. He performed
these services to the satisfaction of his
superiors. Subsequently be was made
chief clerk in the auditor generals de-
partment a. Harrisburg, and after
wards became the corporation clerk of
that department. He is senior member
OF the law firm Of Langham & Elkins,
located here. He has been chairman of
the Republican committee Of this coun-
ty for several years, and has frequently
represented the county as delegate in
the state conventions and also as a
member OF the state central committee.
He is good campaigner and will make
vigorous contest for the nomination.
He will be given enthusiastic support
in his home county,"

A MEDICAL HERO.
By EDWIN A. NYE.


This Is the story Of beautiful hero
ism.
1t happened some time ago In the
Missouri university. but it Is too good
to be lost. 1t is Il story not uncom-
mon In the annals of the medical fra
ternity. which numbers so many quiet
heroes.
DR. Arnold was a distinguished sur
geOn and dean of the medical faculty.
One day when the doctor was AT
luncheon with some students n father
rushed frantically into his presence
and implored the surgeon to come to
the aid Of his child. who was chok-
Ing to death from diphtheria.
DR.. Arnold started student on the
run to the lecture room for nstru.
ments. Going to the little patient. he
kept up respiration until his instru.
ment case was brought An incision
In the thorax was made and tube
inserted But the chlld's respiration
was ceasing
Immediately the surgeon knelt and
placed his lips to those Of the child
and started respiration
In doing so he sealed his death war
rant
AND HE KNEW IT.
DIR. Arnold was suffering from a sc
we're cold. and his bronchial tubes
were highly infiamed. Three days lateI
he died
And that Is not all. glorious as 1t is.
When asked by the startled and sor
row stricken students why he did no
let the father OF the boy breathe thu
life back into the collapsed organ o
the child the doctor quietly said:
BECAUSE HE IS THE FATHER
AND THE CHILD NEEDS HIM.
AM A BACHELOR"
The world may reck little Of sucl
heroism. but 1t Is Of the sort tina
must swing all the doors of HEAVIER
wide open.
Greater love hath no man than thi
that he lay down his life for hi
friend"
DR.. Arnold's ready heroism tran
| scended even this large measure o
human love. 1t was not a friend o
his for whom he died. 1t was q littl
child. with no special claim upon hiI
save that Of humanity.
Arnold did not stop to balance val
ues. Duty called. and he died.
Such heroisms come only from thos
long dedicated to humane service. VIII
need no special inspiration to couragt
who daily put their lives In jeopardy.
The world scarcely can measure II
loss of a man like this. OF whom 1t
not worthy.
But the example OF his self sacrif1c
almost atones for the less.
