Wood county politics presents a
feature this year that is not the usual
thing. 1t has always been considered
proper to give an official second term
in office after he has done his duty by
his constituents during his first term
and while there have been numerous
candidates for the various offices for
which nominations are to be made, there
hasbeen none mentioned for the Office OF
Commissioner until within the past
few days and now the name of VIM. w.
Sockman of Milton township, is an
nounced, as against Samuel knight
the present incumbent who has ser, ed
but one term in Office and naturally
expects another. At apresent we have
no comments to make, but may have
before the convention is called.

1t is evident they do not like to ac-
knowledge that the electric railroad is
being built on the south, or Perrys-

attempts to carry the idea that the

What an elegant time there will be
at the Republican county convention
in August. There are four Offices for
which nominations are to be made and
for these there are about two dozen
candidates. For Sheriff there are only
five candidates-C. w. Russell of Web
ster, Richard Biggs of Bowling Green.
Wesley Sharp of Henry, f. HI. Thomp
son of Perrysburg township, and t. j.
Lake of Pemberville. Now here is an
array of talent that is not only orna-
mental and useful, but any one of whom
would be credit to the county, but of
course only one of them can have it
and each fellow is satisfied he is en-
titled to it and proposes to get it if pos
sible. And for Recorder! Well! Does
anybody want to be Recorder? 1t
would seem as though they did, from
the array of names that appear in an
other column. A few of them are A.
L. Pettys, Jno. M. DeLong, Jacob
Hook, Simon Richard, A. NJ. Faws, B.
W. Purdy and Ed. H. Baggaley whose
names appear in the announcement
column of the JOURNAL together with
several others. In all there are about
l3 candidates for Recorder, and from
this array it would seem that the con-
vention would be able TO select a can
didate worthy the office. For Infirm-
airy Director, there are but two candi
dates, S. e. Wagner and F. j. Schri-
ber, both of whom come from Lake
township, and who are enthusiastic
Repu blicans, and worthy young men.
The Republicans Of the county have
good material and plenty of it before
them TO select IL ticket That will be a
winner, and it is to be hoped the only
effort put forth will be to secure the
best and when the choice is made let
all unite for the election of the entire
ticket.

Citizens OF this republic have equal
rights. We have here political and
personal liberty within the limitations
of law. The men engaged in certain
trade, or all who are employed in any
number OF occupations, have, like other

means. This is the boundary line OF
their right and liberty as individuals

New YORK, Dec. 24.-The wholesale
terror in which New Workers hold the
Lexow committee, ia the capital stock
of new kind of blackmail. Some per-
sons are threatened with accusation
before the committee while others are
to get subpenss as witnesses if they re.
fuse to pay. When they subscribed to-
ward the travelling expenses Of Katie
Schubert and Mrs. Thurow, others who
knew damaging facts were inspired to
ask for free transportation or its equivs-
lent in coin.
A police captain told a reporter that
he had been bullied or threatened by
more than twenty keepers OF disorderly
houses. The women told him if he re-
fused to pay them money they would 60
to John w. Goff ane the Lexow COM
mittee and accuse him of receiving
bribes in return for protection. The
captain said the practice was
becoming general, and that he had q
mum ber OF fellow sufferers. Sometimes
the demand for money was made in q
begging way. The women declared that
since the Lexow committee had turned
New York upside down they had to 60
out of business and were penniless.
This WAS followed by a request for the
restoration of some of the money they
had to pay for protection.
Certain lawyers in New York, prac-
ticing for the most part in the criminal
courts. are being pillagsd hy the extoY-
tionists. Former ''shady" clients have
asked for money with the threat that ii
they were refused they would take the
witness stand and swear they had paid
extortionats sums for defense and that
other sums were obtained from them on
the pretext that the money would go to
six" judges and court clerks. The un-
fortunates, believing that such 9 charge
would injure their practice and predju-
dice bench and bar against them. have

Some Inside Facts Coucsrning the Death
of Andy Bowen.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Several local sport
ing men, who went to the rece mt fatal
fight at New Orleans, have broken si'
lence concerning the tragedy, and have
revealed story that was smothered in
the Louisiana town. The'death of Andy
Bowen, they declare, was the result OF
trickey play of Bowen's. They say that
Bowen, who is fast fighter, and shifty
on his feet. came to the elub official 9
some time before the contest and asked
that the padding be removed: that he
did not feel at home on the padded floor
and could not move with quicknesg.
Bowen was the pet of New Orleans, the
Crescent City's game fighter, and fav-
orite in local betting. The club direct.
ors, seeing the force of his argument,
ordered the padding taken away. La
vigne was given some plausible excuse.
and the fight was brought off with q
floor protected only by q canvas. But
things did not turn out as had been 9x-
pected. Bowen's agile feet could not
keep him from Lavigne's staggering
blows and the New Orleans man was
whipped almost from the beginning. At
last came the Knockout. Lavigne had
been expected to receive the blow, but
the Knockout man was Bowen. Weak
and dazed he fell heavily. His head
struck the canvas and Andy Bowen lay
dying in the ring.

the sundry civil bill. Director Wolcott,
of the geological survey. and Commits
sioner Lamoresux, of the general land

planning the estimates for their respec.
tive bureaus and were questioned by
the committee as to the adviaability Of
reducing expenditures. Both main
tanned that the estimates wers as low as
they thought iudicious. They were also
asked as to the recommendations that
the surveying of public lands be made,
under direction of the secretary, by the
geological survey, instead of by the con-
tract system through the different
states. This should be discussed by
Secretary Smith with both these off.
GERS before the recommendations were
made and they were in favor of the
change, they assured the committee
today.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin of the
treasury department also appeared be.
fore the committee and urged that full
appropriations be made for carrying out
the Chinese exclusion act and that pro.
vision be made for all estimates for
Alaska, especially as to the United
States customs.
Mr.. Hamlin last summer visited the
Pacific coast and Alaska aa well, and
was asked to give the committee assure
ance that the estimates made by the
treasury were absolutely necessary for
the Chinese exclusion and that the rev.
snue would be increased by the better
service asked for in Alaska. 1t is the in
tention of the subcommittee to have

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.--The capitol
was practically deserted today. Only q
few rambling sightseers, the capitol po-
ice and now and then a stray senator
or representative woke the echoes Of it's
spacious corridors. The charm OF the
festivities OF Christmas at home was the
magnet that had drawn everyone who
could leave from the congressional grist-
mill. Only the members and the sena-
tors from the far west and those whose
families are in Washington remained
here. Several OF them were at their
deske for short time today examining
their mail, but they had put their con-
gressional labors behind them and mat.
ters congressional were in atate OF
suspended animation.
Speaker Crisp wac in his room in the
rear of the hall Of representatives about
noon. debating answers to letters, but
he was almost the only member in the
vicinity OF the capitol today. Mrs.
Crisp and her son and daughter are
here to eat their Christman turkey with
the speaker and he will remain here
throughout the holidays.
No committee work will be done at
either end OF the capitol during the
recess. Senator Blackburn says the
committee on rules. of which he is
chairman, will not take up the question
az to a cloture rule or any other subject
until after January /. The Kentucky
senator left the city today to remain
until congress convenes. Some work

finally decided the little sufferers life
might be saved by grating about 250
inches OF cuticle. They appealed to the
public, and this appeal resulted in
bringing the crowd to the home of the

crowd without awaited notification.
The case has excited general symp sthy

pain. A strip of skin was removed
from each about four inches long and
an inch wide. In each case the volun-.
teers donated three strips. One young
man, a member of the High school foot
ball team. said the operation was less
painful than the injuries received in an
ordinary practice game. The doctors
had asked for volunteers between the
ages OF 16 and 25 years.
Last week several inches were
grated, and only one-tsnth failed to
take root. Today SO additional inch es

the child will soon be nearing recovery.
