WARM AND DRY
TO STAY WELL.
Advice Of Noted Authority, Also
Gives a Simple Home PreSCrip-
lion.

Now is the time when the doctor
gets busy, and the patent medicine
manufacturers reap the harvest, un-
less great care is taken to dress warmly
and keepthe feet dry. This is the
advice of an old eminent authority, who
says that Rheumatism and Kidney trou-
bic weather is here, and also tells what
to do in case of an attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparila. Mix by shaking in bot
tie and take a teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime.
Just try this simple homemade mix
ture at the first sign of Rheumatism, or
if your back aches or you feel that the
kidneys are not acting just right. This
is said to be splendid kidney regulator,
and almost certain remedy for all forms
of Rheumatism, which is caused by uric
acid in the blood, which the kidneys
fail to filter out. Any one can easily
prepare this at home and at small cost.
Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply these in
gradients, or, if our readers prefer they
will compound the mixture for them.

DILLON OR EDWARDS
Report From Charleston That Either
One May Be Put Up Against
Scherr or Swsher.

Charleston, June 29.-Considerable
Of a political sensation has been
sprung here by the announcement
that friends of William Seymour Ed
wards are talking Of him as 4 pos
sible compromise candidate for the
nomination for governor as against
the two leading candidates, Scherr
and Swisher. Although the Swisher
people have been parading their con-
fidence in the fact that he would be
nominated it is evident that they are
casting about for an available candi-
date for it is possible that Mr.. Ed
wards may be selected. Mr.. Edwards.
once speaker of the house of dele
gates and a republican CT long stand
Ing, would have strong following.
The fact that the Swisher leaders
have lost confidence in the ability OF
their candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination has been apparent for
some time past, and also the fact that
they have been casting about for
good strong candidate whom they can
put forward to defeat Scherr at any
cost, and there is a well defined re-
port current that Hon. C. w. Dillon, OF
Fayette county, former tax commits
sioner, who has been talked of to
some extent for the nomination, may
be put forward as a candidate.
Samuel Dixon, who has been one oil
the chief supporters of Mr.. Swisher,
and who has also been against allow
ing Mr.. Dillon to become candidate,
it is understood has indicated a will
ingness to take up Dillon in opposi-
ton to Scherr, in the effort to beat
the latter, since Swisher people have
come to the conclusion it will not be
possible for them to get UP to the
political pie-counter in this contest.

IN OPEQUON
John Fravel Seized With Cramps
While Bathing
WAS CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Son Nearly Drowned in Attempt to
Rescue Father-Tabier's Ford
Scene Of Accident.

A sad drowning accident occurred
in the Opequon creek Sunday evening
about five O'Clock, the victim being
John H. Frayel, aged 65 years, resid-
ing at Tabler's Ford, mile and half
northeast Of Berkeley Station.
Mr.. Frayel, who was one of the
best swimmers in the neighborhood,
went in bathing while his son, George
Fravel, and his companion, Harry
Quirk, this city, sat on the bank of
the creek. Suddenly Mr.. Fravel was
seen to sink, having been, it IS sup
posed, seized with cramps to which
he was subject. The son jumped into
the creek, clothed as he was, and
when his father arose he caught him
by the hair, when both were drawn
under the water which is seven or
eight feet deep at that point. In the
struggle George lost his hold on his
father and would have been drowned
himself, had not Quirk come to his
rescue and saved him. In the mean
time Mr.. Fravel sank for the last
time.
The young man quickly got boat
nearby and with the help of William
Fravel, another son of the deceased,
they fished the body out about half
an hour after the accident occurred.
The body was taken to the home of
the deceased but no inquest was held,
Squire George William Tabler living
nearby, deeming it purely case of
accidental death.
The deceased is survived by three
sons and one daughter, William Fra
vel and Mrs. Henry P. Thompson, this
city; James, at Marlowe, and John
Wesley and George at home.
Mr.. Fravel was born and reared in
Berkeley county, was a veteran of the
civil war, having served in the Union
army. He was the last of his family.
The accident has caused a gloom over
the neighborhood in which it occurred
and much sympathy is felt for the
family.
The funeral will be held Tuesday
at 10 a. m. at the Harmony church
and interment in the graveyard ad-
