Democrats in Session.

The Democratic National Con-
ventiOn met in Denver, Colorado,
yesterday at II O'Clock q p. m.
Berryville time), for the purpose
of nominating candidates for Pres
ident and Vice-President.
William Jennings Bryan will un-
doubtedly be nominated for Presi-
dent on the first ballot. The Vice
Presidential nomination, which
looked a week ago as belonging to
Judge George Gray, of Delaware,
IS now uncertain, since Judge Gray
has stated that he would not accept
the nomination if it was rendered
him.
1t Is probable that the Presiden-
tial nomination will not be made
before Friday. as the Convention
was slated to take a recess today
in memory of Grover Cleveland,
VINO died a few weeks ago.
1t Is most likely that an eastern
man will be named for Vice-Presi-
dent, although the bOoms of several
Western men, including Hon. w.
q. Conrad, have by no means been
given up by their friends or pune
tured by their opponents.
All over the country the Demo
cratic newspapers see brighter
hopes for success than ever before.
with q strong platform upon which
the candidates may stand before
the people. Among the promi-
nent Nirginians present at Denver
are Governor Swanson, Senators
Daniel and Martin, and others.

The most striking feature of the
University Of Virginia Summer
school which now has an enroll
ment OF over 500 from "a states.
is the substantial character of the
work which is being done in all
departments; but i'm addition to the
regular work the Management has
provided for special features COW
ering some Of the most progressive
movements in modern educational
practice.
BY far the most important of
these is Rural Life Week begin
ming July 13 and ending July Is.
The work of this week will be de-
voted especially to the problems of
rural life in general, and rural
school problems in particular.
There will be addresses, stereopti-
con views. and demonstrations by
various national experts upon these
subjects. Deputy State Superin-
tendent +. G. Bishop, of Nebraska.

BASEBALL
nip aIndIan" Game TOmOrrOW.

The widely-adycrtiscd Indian

Gaver, S.; L. Foley, SO; 5. Small

The line up OF the indians has
mot reached US. aud, as they viii
have a large number of players to
choose from, it is hardly probable
that their line up viii be announced
nnt;l a few minutes before the
game.
Mr.. Shewbridge. of Summit
Point. and Mr.. Louthan. OF Berry
Vile are expected to officiate as
umpires, and good work can be
expected.
The game tomorrow is a benefit
came for the baseball team, and it
j. hoped that every friend of the
team in the Town and County will
come out and help with their all
mission money.
Some strong teams will be seen
here this season, and the local
nqtrons of the game will have an
opportunity to see good games.
The only thing necessary is the
patronage. The team attempted
toraisemoney forexpenSes through
contributions. but that plan failed,
and they are now dependent upon
the patronage of the games. 1t is
expected that Manager Baker 5
strong Winchester Giants will be
here one day of the week OF July
2O-25. This strong team could
have been secured for Tuesday of
this week. as a game was asked for
on Monday, but the time was So
short for advertising that it was
thought best to ask for a date in
the week of July 20-25.
1t is hoped that Brunswick, Md. /,
can also be secured for a game this
month.
The admission prices for the
Indian game tomorrow will be:
Men. 25c; ladies' and children
under - years of age. 15c.
Come out and help the team.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the EuStachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamcd you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when II is
entirely closet, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken ont and
this tube restored To its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which i
nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (cauScd by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hars Catarrh Cure.
