The democratic party of Mesa
county held its second convention in
this city today at the Auditorium,
where harmonious but militant and
triumphant, there was placed in the
field ticket that should sweep this
county by tremendous majorities in
the campaign before the people.
Every candidate was nominated by
acclamation, though no steam roller,
like the wheels of juggernaut,
rolled over the delegates. as was
done at the republican convention,
the candidates named being the
unanimous choice of the. convention.
The convention delegates at Fruita
had determined that they would car
ry out policy of harmony, and they
never swerved a hairs breadth from
that purpose in the convention to-
day.
AS the matter of committees had
been determined upon at the first
convention, where the resolutions
were presented and adopted, there
was nothing to take up the time of
the convention, save the nominations
for the various offices.
Chairman Herman Kluge of Pali-
sade called the convention to order
shortly after pm, the secretary
Vern b. Lee, being at his post.
There were no prelfminary details
OF any consequence Whatever, and
the chair Immediately proceeded to
call for nominations, as there was
but one name mentioned for each po-
sition, the convention very quickly
concluded its work.
The ticket throughout is an ex-
tremely strong one.
Charles f. Schrader, the present
sheriff of this county, had not asked
the support of a single delegate to
the convention; and, as his name was
ably presented to the convention by
Hon. Samuel n. Wheeler, there was
vociferous cheering, showing that the
popular sheriff was demanded as the
nominee of the party for that posi-
tion.
The same might be said almost of
all the other candidates placed in
nomination. Every section of the
county was given recognition on the
ticket and labor was given recognition
by the selection of Frank Logsdon, a
well-known Tasterer and a young
man of seemingly splendid ability for
the position cf assessor of this county.
Contrary to the action of the re-
publican party which refused to nom
mate a woman for the position of
superintendent of public instruction,
the democratic party went on record
as recognizing the rights of the wo-
man voter and placed the name of
Mrs. Rigg of Clifton on the ticket for
that important position.
Before the close of the convention
resolutions were adopted thanking
the chairman and secretary for their
work, also the retiring chairman of
the county central committee and the
delegation that went to Denver.
Immediately after the adjournment
of the convention the county central
committee and the various candid ates
went itno a committee of the whole.
to select chairman and to provide
ways and means for an aggressive
campaign.
The work of the convention was
then concluded, the entire time being
consumed being less than one hour.

A Lesson In The Heavens.

Commenting on HaIley's comet, our
esteemed contemporary, the New York
World, INDUCES in eloquence. "MeaS-
urements past comprehension, speed in
conceivable, wanderings tranScending the
power of man to imagine are in Halley'S
comet; no more marvellous than the genius
that plots its path, times its return, es-
tablishes by spectroScopy its likeness to
the cold earth and the burning stars
II these things fill our minds with Won
der and amazement, how much more
should we be filled with awe when we
contemplate the incomprehensible omnip-
otence that not only created Halley'S
comet and set its course in the universe,
but created and inspired the human mind
which has succeeded in plotting that
course and measuring the time OF the
wanderers return. and which has said to
that human intellect "Thus far shalt thou
90 and no fartherl"
The old idea that comets were fearful
beaconS, portending disaster, has faded
away; but, like the unwearied sun and
the stars in the heavens, they still teach
the lesson conveyed in the old familiar
lines:
In Reasons ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth ! glorious voice;
Forever singing as they shine
The Hand that made us is divine

Three Million Dope Fiends.

Ii is hard to believe that the gvernment
officials are correct when they announce
that there are three millions Of So-called
dope fiendS in this country, that is to say
victims of some of the deadly drugs
which most people know only by name.
Cocaine, morphine and other such devas-
tating drugs are being used in enlarged
quantities, and recent events in this city
show how widespread their use is be-
coming. Here is chance to do some
reform in alaw vigorously enforced, but it's
not true that punishment is now severe
enough.
The use of these drugs can be sup
pressed only by maintaining strict con-
troll over the sale of them. The worst OF
them all is that they are so inSidious. It
is a long time before the victim is known
and then it is apt TO be too late. II does
seem as if the federal government and the
states could work together so as to make
il impossible for unlawful dispensers to
get a supply. When man has acquired
a desire for these drugs he will make al
most any sacrifice to secure them. Alco-
hol dt its worst is simple matter COM
pared with cocaine and other "dopeS. -

A PIucky Southern Girl.

An item in the Baltimore Sun OF afeW
days ago, sent TO that paper from Harrl-
sonburg, Va, says:
In 1897 there appeared in a Richmond
paper a communication from Shepherds
town, w. Va, giving an account OF the
heroic act during the Civil War OF a
Southern woman, then girl OF lS, living
near Port Republic, Rockingham county,
which resulted in bluffing dozen Yam
kee soldiers and saving for her brother,
a gallant Confederate soldier who hap
pened to be in the neighborhood at the
time, his highly priced mount, which the
Northern troopers found in her posses
sion. The writer of the communication
was unable TO give the name OF the brave
young women, it having escaped his
memory much TO his regret. The identity
OF the daring girl was discovered yester-
day by local newspaper reporter. She
was none other than Miss Cynthia Hooke,
who still resides on the old Hooke home
stead near Port Republic. Her brother,
the owner OF the horse in question, was
Scott Hooke, who is still living. Mr..
Hooke at present resides within a half
mile OF the home of his sister.
In the main the author OF the commune
ton to the Richmond paper gave the fact
with absolute accuracy. He was wrong
in one particular, however. The Yankee
lieutenant referred to did not discover
that the pistol with which the young
woman held his men at bay was capless
and therefore harmless until he had re-
turned to camp, following the delivery OF
the pistol to him.
Miss Hooke and her entire family yet
remain among the most loyal Southeners
of all those who ever gave cheer aud
comfort to the supporters of the Stars
and Bars.

Suppuration.

As with so many of the physical all
mentS which afflict the human race, it is
now generally recognized that boil or
carbuncle is really battle royal between
the cells which are our protectors and the
germs which would be our deStroYers.
The little microbe the especial disagree
able office of which is to excite the for
nation of pus, is called in medicine the
staphyTococcus. When it gains entrance
to the human body, it at once goes to
work at its unpleasant industry.
The immediate results are signals of
distress which take the form OF local in
flammation, with its accompaniment of
itching, swelling and burning. These
uncomfortable symptoms are warning
TO the leucocytes. or protecting blood
cells, that colony OF staphylococci has
formed and set up factory, and will
presently do much damage to the sur
rounding country unless they can be
checked.
Dame Nature therefore hurrieS a great
number Of leucocyteS to the spot, so many
in fact that they are able to cut off the
enemy from the surrounding tissue, and
after starving them into submission, to
throw them out.
When boil breaks and discharges the
Inflammation at once goes down, and this
is a sign that virtue has triumphed once
more-the Ieucocytes have won.
This particular cell seems to be en-
dowed with almost human intelligence,
as shown by its knowledge OF what to
attack, and when and where to do it.
People who are suffering from certain
weakening diseases, such as Bright's,
are very prone to attack OF boilS, and so
are convaleScents illness, and in fact, any
one who is in a condition Of lowered vi
tality from any cause whatever. A single
boil will sometimes make its appearance
because of some local irritation, as, for
example, from the constant rubbing OF
the neck by a rough sweater.
Never mind what may be the direct
cause, or how good the general condi-
tionS of the sufferer may seem to be, ii is
we'll to take that boil to the physician,
who, if he sees it early enough, will prob
ably make efforts to defeat it, or at least
to limit as far as possible the Suppuraton
or formation. Any efforts on the
part OF the patient to squeeze it are un-
wise; they will not help the boil, and may
lead to local reinfection, resulting in
continuous crop OF boils- the condition
known as furunculoSi5, Most distress
ing affection, which may last for months,
and may even run through family or a
school,
The abortion of boil in its early stages
is often brought about by the injection OF
a little carbolc acid into it. This, or any
other form of surgical intervention, is OF
course the province OF the surgeon, who
will exercise the utmost antiSeptic pre-
caution to prevent local reinoculation.

story OF a colored man who left his South

barber packing up his tools, and learned
that he proposed TO return to South Caro-

"There is too much lynchn' goln' on

The humblest deed is ennobled
When il is worthily done.

The darkened regions aiar;
So fill. for the day, your mission
BY shining Just where you are.

For the light of Christlke spirit
Will be shining wherever you are.
