Cut South's Delegations?
No, Sub! Says Col. Lyon
Texas National Committeeman Wroth Over Pro-
posaI for Republican Conventions.

lecting a city in which to hold the 1872
convention and designating the time, the
Republican committeemeR are looking
for lively contention over the PROPOSE
ton of the progressives that the various
State organization shall be asked 10
devise method whereby the voters may
directly indicate their choice among the
Presidential candidates. This progressive
idea has few friends in the Republican
National Committee, and will be re-
jected.
1t is the understanding that no serious
effort will be made to curtail the South's
representations in national conventions,
despite the fears of Col. Lyon and other
committeeman from the Southern States.

BUILDS TREsTLE OVER ROAD.
Minnesota Avenue Is Spawned by
Gravel Company Act.


Gravel Company'N Act.
The course of the bill now pending be-
fore Congress providing for the widening
of Minnesota avenue has been further
complicated through the erection by the
Joseph Swift Gravel Company Of an iron
and wood trestle over the avenue, just
east of the point of intersection with
Benning road. The bill for the widening
of Minnesota avenue, or Anacostia road,
as 1t is generally known, was introduced
in order 10 remove the new Benning
School from the center of the road, the
school having been built TO project eight
feet beyond the proper building line.
1t is generally believed that court pro-
ceedings will be instituted by the Dis
trict TO epjoin the gravel company from
maintaining the trestle, which was
erected to connect the company's dump
with freight spur of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad tracks on the north side
of the road. Title searchers employed
by the gravel company declare that
neither the District nor the Federal gov
eminent owns title to the road, and that
the company which owns the land on the
south side, and private owners, from
whom the land on the north side is leased
by the company. are each assessed to
the middle of the road. Moreover, the
lawyers for the gravel company claim
the District makes no effort TO care for
the road as a public highway, neither
SpTinkling, cleaning, nor grading ii, 1t is
believed the case will start in the Police
Court and be carried on up 10 the Court
of Appeals.

BAD DREAr1S
Nightmare, Restiessness and Night
sweats All Caused BY Indiges-
ton

Half of the nervousness in the
world, all of the disturbing dreams
and nightmares can be ended in
few weeks by a simple, inexpensive
treatment guaranteed by G. W. Peil.
Upset stomach is the cause of
nervousness and bad dreams. Your
food is lying in your stomach un-
digested and fermenting; it is form
ing poisonous gases which irritates
the pheumogastric nerve that leads
direct from the brain, and ends in a
network of tiny branches running
through the stomach.
1t is also the irritation of this
great pheumogastric nerve that
causes headaches. Many times peo-
pie have severe headaches and know
they are caused by the stomach, but
do not know how.
II you are nervous, have dreams
or nightmare, and do not sleep
sound at night, get a so cent box of
Ml-O-NA stomach tablets and take
one or two after or with meals. MI
O-NA stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in minutes. Sold
by G. w. Peil and druggists every
where who guarantee MI-O-NA to
cure indigestion, or money hack.

End OF The short.sighted Ross.


Richard Croker, interviewed at
Palm Beach by the New York World,
says Murphy should withdraw his
support from Sheehan and allow the
Democratic Legislature to elect q
United States Senator. Coming from
the source it does this opinion ought
to have some weight with Murphy.
but it probably will have none, for
yesterdays papers printed an inter-
view with Murphy denouncing Ed
ward NJ. Shepard and the others who
have sought to defeat Sheehan. This
Senatorial struggle has shown how
little there is in Murphy. There
have been bosses who had a good
many of the traits and characteris-
tics, and much of the strength, of
leadership. These were dangerous.
Tor when they are forceful and re-
sourceful enough to be leaders, and
are willing to use their strength to
make themselves mere bosses, the
danger is that they will maintain
their hold for a long time. When
a man is simply a boss, who has
come into power by chance or
through the process of elimination.
then it is only necessary for him to
betray his weakness through one
failure and his power will leave him
forever. Murphy has shown himself
to be simply a bull-headed and rhin-
oceros-hided boss. He has none of
the qualities of real leadership. IL
he had, he would recognize the fact
that to force Sheehan either to VIC
tory or defeat will be fatal to his
success in the future. To elect Shee-
nan Will mean the driving away of
thousands of votes from the DEM
ocratic ticket next year and possibly
the defeat of the party throughout
the country. The defeat of Shee-
han, in spite of Murphys continued
and insistent support, will mean the
breaking of Murphy's power in New
York city, for the men whom he
dominates there are not the kind to
be bossed by the man who fails in
his undertakings. The only way,
therefore, in which Murphy could
save his face and his influence would
be to withdraw his support from
Sheehan and assist in electing
Senator who would be acceptable to
the people generally. This, it is ap-
parent, he will not do. Like the
traditional beggar on horseback, he
insists on riding to ruin.
The last year witnessed the over
throw of a number of bosses: the
present and the next will be marked
by the passing of many more.

GEOGRAPHICAL ODDITIES.
Some Peculiar Facts About These
Great United States.

The following collection of geo.
graphical peculiarities about the
United States and places therein en-
bodies certain unique points well
worth remembering.
A novel way to demonstrate the
size of the State of Texas is to spread
out map of the union and stretch
a string across Texas the longest
way. Then, placing one end of the
measure at Chicago, one will find
that the other end will extend into
either the Atlantic Ocean or the gulf
of Mexico.
The two largest counties in the
United States are Custer county,
Mont, and San Bernardino county,
Cal. Each of these is a little more
than 10000 square miles in extent,
and the States of Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Delaware and New
Jersey could be put inside the boun-
daries of either of them.
The smallest county in the union
is Bristol county, r. l., which has
only twenty-five square miles.
About fifty miles from Durango,
Colo, there is a point where fonr
states meet. Here by stepping a few
i~SS III StIiiSl IlSCllOn OuG can walk
in four different commonwealths in
as many seconds. These common
wealths are the States of Colorado,
and Utah and the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona.
A nearly parallel case is at Harp
er's Ferry, where the train stops a.
few minutes to allow the passengers
to alight and enjoy view which per-
mits them to look into three States,
Maryland, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia.
The highest and lowest elevations
in this country are in California,
within 100 miles of each other. The
loftiest is Mount Whitney, 14,499
feet high, and the lowest is Death
Valley, about $50 feet below the lev
ell of the sea.
TWO Oceans pass, in Yellowstone
park, is so named because, whenever
there is a shower in the vicinity and
"a certain small creek overfows, it's
waters spread out over the edge of
the continental divide and pass into
tributaries of rivers which flow to
the Atlantic and to the Pacific.-Bos-
