CHAIRMAN TOLD BOLTERS TO TAKE IT INTO COURT. Returns Canvassed and the Win- _ners Declared Nominated. From the Somerset Standard. The Republican county convention drew a large number of people from different parts of the county to the county seat, but the sweeping swipe the Bolters received three days before had so taken the starch out of them that they were not much in evidence. Chairman Ogle called the convention to order at the appointed time, and on motion of Committeeman Bird, of Ad- dison, Messrs.C. H. Ross, of Stonycreek, and H. B. Fritz, of Allegheny township, were elected vice presidents of the convention. The Chairman then ap- pointed Messrs. R. E. Meyers and J. R. Boose, of Somerset, Charles F. Cook, of Berlin, an1 W. F. Gonder, of Jenner, clerks. At this point D. W. Will, represent- ing the defeated Scull faction, under- took to read a type-written paper which the schemers had prepared for him,but the Chairman asked him to subside till the roll of districts had been called. The secretary then called the list of forty-eight districts, and as each dis- trict was called the return judge laid the returns from his district on the ta- ble. Mr. Will again came forward and was then recognized by the chair. He apol- ogized to the convention for being there to read such a paper as he held in his hand #he said he didn’t know that any of the charges in it were true, but that he had been “requested to read it,” and he hoped that “it would do good.” The paper read by Mr. Will proved to be lengthy allegations of fraud in at least twenty districts of the county. If the nearly half a hundred return judg- es present had not known that the charges themselves were a fraud, they might have been led to believe that the primary election held in this county on Saturday was the most corrupt ever held anywhere. But they kpew what the whole thing meant ; they knew that it was a trick of the tricksters to hold up the certificate of the three delegates to the State convention elected. The charges closed with this paragraph: “Wherefore, having shown the exist- ence of fraud in many precincts of the county and in the entire county, and having made a particular statement thereof, verified by oaths according to the rules of the party, your aftiants re- spectfully protest against the issuing of any certificate of nomination or elec- tion at this time to John A. Berkey, Charles C. Shafer, Everett Welch, John G. Emert, W. S. Matthews, Samuel W. Poorbaugh, Joseph Horner, John A. Brant, George Steinbaugh, J. B. Mos- holder, S. J. H. Louther,C. H. Schmuck- er, B. D. Morgan, E. V. Babcock, A. F. Dickey and E. E. Pritts, candidates for nomination against Harvey M. Berkley and the others named in paragraph 3 voted for at the primary eletion held on the 7th day of June, A. D. 1902, as aforesaid, and the convention is here- by notified to proceed according to the requirements of rule 15 in such case made and provided for. Take notice, however, that nothing herein contain- ed shall be understood to exist to the issuing of a certificate of nomination to Jokn C. Weller, a candidate for nomi- nation to the assembly at said elec- tion.” The originators of this ‘trick would have the candidates who had received majorities ranging from 800 to 1,800 votes turned down, but they had no objection to the issuing of a certificate to their single candidate who slipped in by the measly m jority of 37 votes. The return judges gave the paper a respectful hearing till the reader came to the Weller clause, when the conven- tion burst forth with a guffaw of deris- jon. The whole thing was so ridicu- lous that it mo.ed the most sober- minded members oi the convention to laughter. The paper was singed and sworn to | by Frederick Rowe, Ed. Hoover, Chas. Weimer, Duniel Keller, Jacob Rtn, F. J. Hoffman and Ira Lambert, all de- feated candidates. | When Mr. Will had taken his seat the Chairman ordered a recess while the returns were being canvassed. i When this had been done, and the luted by constipation.

Miller's drug store. Chairman was aboat to announce the result, Mr. Will again put himself in evidence by asking that the convention be adjourned for a period of ten days. At this point Chairman Ogle rose and said : “So far as this protest is concerned, it is not the particular statement re- quired by the rule referred to. It is out of order. And if I have made a mistake in my ruling, the courts are open to any of the gentlemen who signed this protest. A political con- vention is not the proper place to de- cide such questions. These gentlemen can come into a court of justice, which is the proper place for the determina- tion of such matters. “The whole thing is impracticable, at any rate. It would cost hundreds of dollars to reconvene this committee, and to take this testimony would cost $1,000 or more. It is wholly imprac- ticable to determine such a thing as that in 10 days, and I rule the entire thing out of order. I announce that for chairman of the committee there was elected Mr. Pritts, ete.” The convention greeted this short speech with a storm of applause. While the chairman was proceeding to read the names of the successful can- didates and their overwhelming ma- jorities Mr. Will again stepped into the arena, and addressing the return judges, said: “Gentlemen, I move that we appeal to the decision of the committee. All in favor of the protest say aye.” But not a single voice was raised in protest. Then Mr. Will continued: “All opposed to it say no.” And like a flash the convention burst forth in a chorus of NOES! Mr. Will took his hat and a walk, and he has probably since had time to reflect upon how the Bolters used him. In the meantime the Chairman pro- ceeded with the reading of the names of the candidates.nominated and elected, and when this was completed he de- clared the convention adjourned, Ten Years in Bed. R. A. Gray, I. P.,Oakville, Ind. writes, “For ten years 1 was confined to my bed with disease of my kidneys. It was so severe that I could not move part of the time. I consulted the very best medical skill available, but could get no relief until Foley’s Kidney Cure was recommended to me. It has beer a Godsend to me.” E. H. Miller. The Hypocritical Prohibitionists. The Prohibitionists of Somerset coun- ty are this year making a great deal of noise about nominating a full county ticket and advising all good citizens to support their nominees. Their conven- tion meets today, in Berlin, and it will be followed by a» big mass meeting in the evening. This paper has always been in favor of a prohibition amendment to our State Constitution, and is still in favor of it, but we have no faith in the hypo- critical Prohibition party, for the “Pro- hibs” in this county, as a party, seldom practice what they preach. This was plainly demonstrated at last fall’s elec- tion, when that party had a full ticket of its own, but nearly all the Prohi- tionists in the county voted for Wm. H. Ruppel, the Democratic candidate for President Judge. And what claim did Wm. H. Ruppel have on the Prohibi- tion party? None whatever. That Mr. Ruppel is strongly opposed to the liquor traffic there is no room for doubt ; but he either does not believe in the Prohibition party, or else is too big a moral coward to become a mem- ber of that party. Yet, last fall we be- held the inconsistency of Irohibition- ists turning down their own candidate for Judge and voting for Ruppel, the Democratic candidate. We do not say that all Prohibition- ists are political hypocrites,for they are not. Some of them always stick to their own party nominees, thereby showing that they are honest and con- sistent in what they advocate. The trouble is, however, that there are so many old bell wethers in the Prohi- bition party of Somerset county, who were formerly very prominent Demo- crats, that when they see a fighting chance of electing a Democrat to office, they at once lay their Prohibition senti- ment aside and vote with the old rum- soaked, demoralized and panic-stricken Democratic party. All things consid- ered, the Prohibition party is a good party to keep out of. A party that is not true to its own nominees is not to be trusted. The Prohibition party is a farce and a [bumbag, Filthy Temples in Thdie. Sacred cows often defile Indian tem- | ples, but worse yet is a body that’s pol- OUR STATE CANDIDATES. Three Men Nominated. Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker, LL. D., soldier, jurist, and litterateur, was born at Phoenixville, Chester county, Pa., April 9, 1843. His father—Isaac Pennypacker—was an eminent physi- cian of Philadelpbia, while his grand- father—Matthias Pennypacker—was a member of the State Assembly and of the State Constitutional Convention of 1837.

In 1886-89 he was a member of the Board of Public Educa- tion in Philadelphia. In June, 1899, he was appointed by Governor James A. Beaver to fill a vacancy in the Court of Common Pleas caused by the elevation of Judge James T. Mitchell to the Supreme Court.

Saved From an Awful Fate. “Everybody said I had consumption,” writes Mrs. A. M. Shields, of Chambers- burg, Pa., “I was so low after six months of severe sickness, caused by Hay Fever and Asthma, that few thought I could get well, but I learned of the marvelous merit of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, used it, and was completely cured.” For desperate Throat and Lung Diseases it is the safest cure in the world, and is infallible for Coughs, Colds and Bron- chial Affections.

Boswell, Pa., June 6.—For its size, Boswell is one of the busiest places in the United States. The last touches on the grading of the Quemahoning branch of the B. & O. are being given and the iron horse will come crashing and screeching into this once peaceful val- ley within four or five weeks, to give a new zest to its life and a larger activity to a population which is expected to grow by leaps and bounds. About a thousand people are now here, some of them in tents, some of them in shacks, some of them in houses not yet completed and some of them at the hotels which have sprung up like Jonah’s gourd. The hotels are doing a business and the livery men are also rushed. Every hack brings in new peo- ple who go to work either in building for themselves or in helping others to build. The streets are being cut now and grading has begun on Conemaugh street. Blasting is heard almost con- stantly, The site is practically a solid rock and the man who wants a cellar has to make it with dynamite. The big coal tipple of the Merchants Coal Company is nearing completion. It is the biggest structure of its kind in the world and is worth seeing. It is of great length and is so high that one has to get off a good ways if he wants to see to the top of it. About a hundred buildings in vari- ous stages of incompletion now give some sort of outline of what is to be. By next year at this time it is believed that five or six thousand people will be living here. The mines are to be among the largest in the bituminous field and it is said to be the purpose of the Mer- chants Coal Company to work them to their full capacity. The company has a very extensive field and it will take long years to exhaust it. — | Loads Them All. “One Minute Cough Cure beats all | other medicines I ever tried for coughs, colds, croup and throat and lung trou- { bles,” says D.
