who caused the deficit, the Republi-

there and must be dealt with in the
best way possible to give relief to the
creditors of the state. The only
money in the treasury now is in the

the general expenditure fun1 borrow
enough from the school fund to tenn

includes the legislators salaries, or
not. The auditor, treasurer and two
legislative committees are holding
conferences over the situation and a

governor director of state experiment

and becoming a member of the board
after his selection) and four other
citizens. Rules and regulations for
the conduct of the business of pro-

will use every endeavor to have the
bill become law, as he believes it

necessary waste of the present sup
ply.
Many years ago the members of
the legislature were allowed to give
a requisition for almost any amount
of stationery and stamps during
legislative session, and a number of
members frequently abused the priv
ilege by ordering enormous quantities
of all sorts of fine writing material,
while others would order lots of
things, like knives, boots and other
things. and call ii Stationery" in the
requisition. Finally one member got
bold enough to order a fine riding
saddle, and actually took it home in
his trunk, the state paying for it UNI
der the head of stationery" This
was the last straw that broke the
came's back. The saddle episode got
noised about and the next legislature
passed a law that each member
should be entitled to only $40 with
which to pay for stationery, and that
is the law now, except a chairman of
a committee is allowed So extra. This
cuts ont saddles and jewelry and
knives.
Judge Edward c. O'Rear states he
Is not a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. While he
considers the honor that would attach
to the nomination for this high Office
from his party, he does not court it,
and his desires are all contrary to en-
tering the arena of practical politics
or becoming involved in the charac.
ter of political contest which &C
ceptance of a nomination for COVER
nor would mean. The judge said:
THE field of political activity has no
charms for me. | much prefer to go
along in my present course, without
regard for politics or policies. A
Judge should have no politics and no
question from the outside should be
brought into the everyday life of his
lnties."

JEFFERSON county presents to the

JEFFERSON county presents TO the
Democratic voters of the second congress
sional district candidate for the nominal
ton for Congress in the person OF MI
William Huntington Wilson, OF Charles
Town. Mr.. Wilson is the eldest son OF
the late Hon. William L. Wilson, VINO
served in Congress from this district with
such fidelity and distinction, and is a
member of the bar of this county. 10
our mind he is the logical candidate for
This honor, and we firmly believe that II
he is nominated he can be elected. NOW
as never before the people CT the country
see the iniquities the outrageously hgn
tariff for which the Republicans are re-
sponsible, and what more fitting than thal
the brilliantyouug son OF a patriotic father
who gave such splendid service TO me
cause of tariff reform should take up the
work The name of his honored father
would add prestige TO Mr.. Wilson's candi-
dacv. but besides this, he has merit OF his
own that entities him to the consideration
of the people. He is a clear thinker, an
able young gentleman OF attractive per-
sonality, sound Democrat, and would
bear himself well if he should be sent to
Congress. We believe that Democrats
throughout the country would aid his
candidacy.
Jefferson county is the banner Demo-
cratic county OF the second district. We
think that she is entitled to the honor she
asks in the nomination of Mr.. Wilson,
and if il is accorded we will promise an
old-time majority for next November.

Mr.. William f. Steese, 70l Coburn St.,
Akron, Ohio, writes:
al have been troubled for several
years with cafarrh of the stomach.
Have used different patent medicines
to no effect whatever, and have doc
tored considerable with family doctor.
"Sometimes his treatment would re-
lieve me for few weeks, but would
eventually have to go back to him, and
that had kept up for several years.
81 was advised TO use Peruna, and
have taken three bottles. Never felt
so good in my life. Am going to con-
tinue using it. Wouldn't be with
out it in the house. Twill gladly rec
omn1end Ii to any one afflicted with
catarrh of stomach, or stomach trouble
of any kind"
The above is an oft-repeated story.
Troubled for years with chronic ca
tarrh. Tried different remedies and
doctors to no avail. Peruna was adj
vised by friends. Instant relief -expe-
rienced. Great gratitude to Peruns
expressed. This, in brief, is story
that is repeated to US great many
times every year.
No one could be in touch with our
vast correspondence for one month
without being impressed with the sim
cerity and truthfulness of these kind OF
testimonials.
Peruna promptly produces an appe-
tite, corrects digestion and relieves
stomach difficulties that have resisted
other treatment.

ONCE in while the tariff catches the
right fellow. For instance, last week
Frank West Rollins, former Governor of
New Hampshire and prominent banker
of Boston-a high protectionist of the
strictest sort-got dose that will last
him long timer. With his wife and
daughter he had just returned from Europe
and when they landed in New York they
tried to smuggle through lot of valuable
goods without paying the duty upon them.
They were caught red-handed, and were
forced to undergo the ignominy of arrest.
There was nothing to do but plead guilty
and Rollins had to pay fine of s., 900,
besides the duty on the goods, amounting
to some s., 900 in all.
Rollins evidently thought that the tariff
is intended solely as vehicle by which
the manufacturer is permitted to rob the
consumer. which is in the main true, bui
occasionally there is bareback.
