CALL FOR STATE CONVENTION.
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.

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.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Bemedy.
"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."

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

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

A Oreat Sensation.
There WON a big sensation in
Ind., when W. H. Brown of that place,
who was expected to die, had his life
saved by Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. He writes: ,- I endured
insufferable agonies from Asthma, but
your New Discovery gav« me immediate
relief and soon thereafter effected a com
plete cure." Similiar cures of Consump
tion, Pnenmonia, Bronchitis and Grip
are numerous. It's the peerless remedy
for all throat and Lung troubles, price
50c, and 81.00. Guaranteed by L.
Taggart, Druggist. Trial bottles free:
When the average man tells a lie he is
in a hurry to prove it.
Bobbed the Orave.
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.
A small voice in a man often has the
same effect as a hole in a nickle.
A Thoughtful Man.
M. M. Austin of Winchester, Ind.,
knew what to do in the hour of need.
His wife had such an unusual case of
stomach and liver trouble physicians
could not help her. He thought of and
tried Dr. King s New Life Pills and she
got relief at onee and was finally cured.
Only 25c, at L. Taggart's Drug Store.
He who believes in nobody knows that
he himself is not to be trusted.
A Sweet Breath.
Is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad the
stomach is out of order. There is no
remedy in the world equal to Kodol Dys
pepsia cure for curing indigestion, dys
pepsia and all stomach disorders. .Mrs.
Mary S. Crick, of White Plains, Ky.,
writes, "I have been a dyspeptic for
years —tried all kinds of remedies but
continued to grow worse. By the use of
Kodol I began to improve at onee, and
after taking a few bottles am full restored
in weight, health and strength and can eat
whatever I like. Kodol digests what you
eat and makes tha stomach sweet. R.
