BOTH political parties in Nebraska have
had exciting times this week. AT the
Democratic convention on Tuesday Mr..
Bryan made strong effort to prevent the
betrayal Of the Democracy into the hands
OF the whiskey interests, which he de-
clared had sold him out and he urged the
delegates to make their fight on political
issues and not in defense OF the liquor
traffic. He said that the election OF Uni
ted States Senators and State officials
was part OF the conspiracy between
certain Democrats and the whiSkey peo-
pie, and he protested against the political
burglary OF the State The liquor inter
ests rode over him and his friends rough
Shod, however, and Mr. Bryan was prac-
tically deposed from the Democratic State
leadership which he has maintained for
twenty years.
The Republican State convention also
met on Tuesday, and adopted plank
that the Democrats rejected, providing
for county local option law. The in
surgents were in control of the conven-
ton, and while the administration OF Taft
was endorsed in perfunctory sort OF a
way, a resolution was adopted express
ing unalterable opposition to ''the SyS-
tenn known as CannoniSm" and giving
hearty sympathy with the inSurgent
movement in and out OF Congress.
The political situation is good deal
mixed in Nebraska, and the Republican
insurgents and Democratic reformers are
not very far apart.

Moorefield is splendid old town with
most beautiful surroundings. One OF the
oldest towns in the State, it has been a
quiet, peaceful village sufficient unto IL
self for 10 these many years. The first
thing that impreSSeS the visitor is the
handsome and substantial mansions OF
the people. These are as a rule comfort
able brick structures of the colonial type,
with fine porcheS supported by big white
pillars or fluted columns. You get the
idea that these Square-built houses shell
ter substantial and hoSpitable people
and it is even so. The grace OF hospital
ity does abound there. The people are
unaffectedly open-hearted and kind, and
are OF that type OF old VirginianS which
has become famous and which has been
preserved in its purity in Moorefield be-
cause there has not been that influx OF
outside influences which prevails IN more
acceSSibly located places.
As an illustration of the hospitality OF
the people, it may be mentioned that
when the hotels had been filled with del
egateS to the convention the private
homes were thrown open, so that no one
would be left without comfortable stop
ping place. The writer was taken into
the home OF Mr.. George Kuykendall, a
bank official, and the kindness OF this
charming family to the strangers within
their gates will never be forgotten. Twas
good TO be with them.
Moorefield has population of some
eight hundred or thousand souls. The
people seem to be very well-to-do, for
there are few shabby houses most Of
the homes being comfortable and sub
stantial and some quite elegant. II has
couple OF good hotels and a number of
well-kept stores. There are two banks

hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has

more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with diSplacementS, infam-

regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, flatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you

The recent completion OF the Hamp-
shire Southern Railway between Romney
and Moorefield, distance OF some twen-
ty-five miles, has opened route from
the latter place to the outside world that
the people greatly appreciate. Hereto
fore the only way 10 get to Mooretleld
was by a long and tedious drive OF q
miles or more by stage. Now the new
road carries passengers and commodities
by a Economically beautiful route along
the lovely South Branch river. For eight
miles the road runs through the famous
Trough" that singular rift between two
high mountains in which flows the South
Branch. The railroad clingS TO the she'll
hewn out OF the base OF the west noun
tain, overhanging the river and winding
along the picturesque course ofthe stream.
AT the head OF the Trough it energies
from its mountain environment into the
surprisingly beautiful Moorefield Valley,
where the fertile bottom lands extend
from hill to hill as level as floor, with
the clear river like shining silver ribbon
separating the splendid farms. All OF
this rich country is now accessible TO the
markets, and the people will have greater
prosperity and comfort than ever before.
The Hampshire Southern Railway has
been built largely through the efforts OF
the Cornwell brotherS-John J and Will
liam B., who have persisted in their de-
termination until at last they see the rich
Moorefield Valley opened up, the noun
tain lands made prolific with great or
chards of peaches and apples, and push
ing on southwark toward Grant county,
the gospel of business enterprise is being
carried into communities that have always
been shut out from the balance OF the
world because Of lack Of railroad facilities.
A Jefferson county boy, William Trapnell,
is general manager Of the new railroad,
and everybody speaks OF him and his
work in the highest terms. Mr.. Trapnell
was very efficient and accommodating in
the work of handling the delegates and
visitors to the convention, running spec
ial trains and managing the traffic 10 the
entire satisfaction OF the people.
The B. & o. Railroad was also very
agreeable and accommodating in getting
the delegates to their homes promptly and
comfortably. A special train was run
through from Moorefield TO Cumberland,
where west-bound travellers found excel
lent connections. For those going east,
a special coach was placed on the Du-
queSne Limited, and this splendid train
was stopped where necessary to dis
charge its passengers nearest their homes.
The Norfolk & Western Railway also
made special stops upon request. The
people greatly appreciated the very ex-
cellent service of all the railroads.
