Til MR RKPUBLiCA * EOTOTtS OF PENN SYLVANIA: I am directed by the Republican tee to announce that the Republicansof Pennsyl vania, by their duly chosen Representatives, will meet in convention at the Opera House, in the city of Harrlsburg, on Wednesday, May 27th, 1903, at 10:30 o'clock, a.m., for the purpose of nominat ing candidates for the following offices, to-wit: One person for the office ofState Treasurer. One person for the office of Auditor General. Two persons for the office of Judge ofthe Su perior Court. In accordance with the rules governing the organization, the representation in the State Convention will be based on the vote polled at the last Presidential election. Uoder the rules each legislative district is entitled to one delegate for every two thousand votescast |for the Presi. dential Electors in 1900, aud additional delegate for every fraction of two thousand votes polled in excess of one thousand. By order ofthe Republican State Committee. M. S. QUAY, Chairman. W. R. ANDREWS, Secretary. With Congress out of the way and public attention turning rather to poli tics than legislation the evidences of President Roosevelt's wide spread and popularity are increasing daily. t J Conflicting reports come from Colom bia with regard to the ratification of of the Panama canal treaty but Secre tary Hay still hopes it will be promptly approved and that the great work may goon uninterrupted. Xt The trade of the Uuited States with China shows a most remarkable growth. In 1900 this country exported to the Chinese Empire goods valued at §11,000,000. The value of the exports for 1902 had just doubled being, Tn round numbers, $22,000,000. ♦ + President Roosevelt will call Cou gess in special session to pass legisla tion of approval of the Cuban treaty as soon as after the fall elections as may seem advisable. The date is variously estimated from Nov. 9 to Nov. 15. + I The President has issued the usual order opening up the White House grounds for the egg rolling on Easter Monday, a messy performance with no apparent meaning, but one that seems to afford keen enjoyment to the child ren. t t The Cuban treaty has been ratified by the Congress at Havana without amendment. It now remains for the members of the United States Congress to prove there good faith by promptly passing the necessary enabling legisla tion. t t The President's determination togo to the bottom of the Postoffice scandal and to permit no guilty person to re main in tiie service may receive the condemnation of the politicians whose favorites are in danger, but it will command the respect of the vast ma jority of the voters. + t Secretary Cortelyou of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor is being overwelmed with financial reports of insurance companies. Not only are they not adver«e to disclosing their methods and financial standing but they evidently hope to acquire some advertising from the publicity feature ot the new Department. + 4- The President is earnestly advocating a general staff for the Navy similar to that recently authorized by Congress for the army. The benefit of such a staff is that it would relieve the Secre tary of the Navy from any responsi bilities which now devolve upon him and for which, coming, as he usually does, from civil life, he is seldom fitted. t t Pension Commissioner Ware occa sionally receives some peculiar letters. This is a sample: "Paradise Hill, O. Asst. Sucrey In terir Ware, Wasington, U. S.

"When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says Frank W. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the conghing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass oft' aud I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is very mildly. 1 had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the' second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grig had bid me adieu." For sale by L. Taggart. Cigars should be entered in a man's expense account as "losses by fire." A disordered stomach may cause no end of trouble. When the stomach fails to perform its functions the bowels be come deranged, the liver and kidneys con gested, causing numerous diseases, the most fatal of which are painless and there fore the more to be dreaded. The im portant thing is to restore the stomach and liver to a healthy condition, and for this purpose no better preparation can be used than Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. For sale by L.

A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bit ters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I con tinued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim." No one seould fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at L. Taggart's drug store.
