FOR oHio's CENTENNIAL.


Arrangements for the Exposition of 1908.
Columbus, O., Aug, 27.-The Ohio
Centennial Commission will report to
the next Legislature incorporating
plans for holding, in 1908, an exposi-
tion on larger scale than the Nash
vile Exposition. The commission,
which was authorized by joint resolu-
tion introduced in the Legislature by
Senator Sullivan, and was appointed
by Governor Bushnell, will prepare a
scheme for a celebration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the admis-
sion of Ohio into the Union.
According to E. NJ. Ritezel, of War
ren, Secretary of the commission, the
members believe that the centennial
celebra tion should take the form of an
industrial exposition, and that this ex-
position should be on larger scale
than any ever held in this country,
save the Chicago and Philadelphia ex-
positions of 1898 and 1875.
They expect to secure both State
and Congressional appropriation, and
the exposition of 1908 will be held in
one of the large cities of the State,
Cincinnati. Cleveland, Columbus or
Toledo. Secretary Rltezel was here
today to consult President Herman
Dennisou, of the commission, in regard
to sending subcommittee to the
Nashville Exposition to make a careful
inspection of its good points, The 9th.

sion are e. c. Dawes, of Marietta;

NELsoNvILLE, O., Aug, S1.-The des.

great. Mayor Buckley says 1,2OO per.
sons, the entire mining population Of
the town, have absolutely nothing to

In this immediate vicinity there are
1000 destitute persons, large number
OF whom are children. Local cbarity

gone. Gardens supplied the wants NJ
the miners families until recently hvt
that resource is now exhausted.
Relief committees haye been appoint. .

supplies. Nothing in cash or supplies

Informal Recital.

1t was our pleasure Tuesday after.
noon to listen to an informal piano re-
cital by Mr.. Frank Mcpherson, form
erly of the Children's Home, this
county, now of Omaha, Nebraska.
Mr.. Mcpherson has at his fingers
ends scores of piano compositions, the
work Of eminent composers of every
class; and he plays them with the skill
of master hand From Sousa's
marches to the Vallsyrie he seems to
mahe the piano give up it's possibilities.
Mr. Mcpherson has consummate
skill in interpreting the works of the
greater composers, and not the least
wonderful feature of him is his capac-
ity to nemorize them-he having at
his immediate command no less than
seventy-fve numbers.
Mr. Mcpherson is prodigy and he
is not, He did not play piano the
first time he saw one, but has got his
skill by close application, with the
genius to reinforce and warrant it.
The Children's Home and Marietta may
be proud of him!

THE NEW STATE
Of SUPERIOR.
Uncle Sam Is Getting Ready to Tack a
New Star on the Flag.
State Number Forty -Five-It Takes
In Michigan's Upper Peninsula
and North Wisconsin-Long Been
a Washington Topic.

Washington, September 17.-Uncle
Sam proposes to make himself Christ
mas present of a new State. Christ
mas he will hang up his stocking, as
all good old people do, and when he
wakens, unless some disappointment
overtakes him-he will find, away down
in tie toe of his stocking, a gold star,
which, unless calculations miscarry,
he will highly prize.
This star will represent the forty
fifth State in the Union, and the name
is to be '1The State of Superior"
1t will come into the Union, not as
other States have come, in an unset
tied condition, but it will arrive, as the
Minerva stepped from the head OF
Joye, beautifully equipped with every
thing necessary for a highly prosper
Gus worldly existence.
For many years, in fact. almost since
its admission to the Union in 1887.
Michigan has been divided by Lake

and nave at times made requests of the
Michigan Legislature which they felt
should have been granted
Another reason for making a nav
State out OF the peninsula is that Mich-
igan Is a State of great climatic dif.
ference. The climate of the southern
portion is warm, but that of the north.
ern is rigorous. Take Detroit which
has mean annual Temperatures IF az
degrees, and that of Sault Ste Marie
which is 40 degrees. This is a differ.
ence of s degrees between the different
parts OF the State. Along the north
ern part there is a great deal of ami.
raising, but in the peninsula there are
vineyards and, of course the san,~.
agricultural laws cannot apply to bot.s
of these.
1t is said that all the preliminary
work of making this State has been
gone through with and will be settled
when Congress reassembles. The Con-
gressmen of Wisconsin and Michigan
are both said to be in favor of it. and
such lobbying as must be done in
Washington has already been attended
to.
The lower Michigan people are said
to be in favor Of losing their upper
peninsula because they feel that it is
no part of them, while the upper penin-
sula certainly feels that it should be
independent.
The new State is said to be one Of
the richest sections of the country out
side of Alaska. 1t has every mineral
that is known. even gold having been
discovered there. It's climate Ia
healthy, its rainfall moderate and
everything about it is beautiful.

matter really comes up at Washington
