it seems that there is some differ

the activities OF Hopewellites in Rich

night may be regarded as criterion.

the bills now pending and to appear
before the COMMITTEES yesterday and
voice their objections to certain speci-
fications contained In the charter pro-
visions as Delegate Harrison intended
to report them to the House yesterday
afternoon
The committee appeared IN force,
and after several conferences with
representatives and others interested,
1t was decided that the committee OF
twenty-one would not appear before
the HOUSE communities as intended. out
instead q conference was arranged
for last night with Messrs. Harrison
ana Barham at Murphy's Hotel.
The conference was held at O'Clock
last evening. but as newspaper re-

Ia the meeting.
From what could be learned. Il
seems that the principal objections
lodged by the Hopeweil committee
was the placing Of so much appcintive
power In the hands OF Governor
Stuart, and there was an apparent
desire on the part Of those attending
the conference to have an election
earlier than the time provided by the
bills which are now under considera-
ton.

It Is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with that headachy, all
rundown feeling that is often the re-
suit of kidney trouble.

contend with disagreeable bladder and
urinary disorders or be tortured with
rheumatism, stiff or swollen joints or
the heart-wrenching miseries that fol-
low as result OF neglected or poorly
working kidneys. Solvax quickly and
surely relieves all such troubles.
Solvax is a wonderful discovery that
has always been so uniformly success
full that every package is sold under
a positive guarantee to refund the
money if it does not relieve the worst
cast OF kidney disorder.
