Columbus, Dec. 11.-Politicians here
regard Representative Pollock's deter
mination to get married as a tacit
declaration that he has no designs on
the speakership. Few men who estab-
lish house are speaker of 1t.
The recognition accorded DR.. J. z.
Marchand and Hon. Josiah Hartzell
in the naming of committees for the
new board to prevent consumption, is
evidence that Canton Is considered
headquarters for quarrels with disease.
1t is fact, however. that new meth
DDS and strict adherence to. duty has
done much toward ridding Canton of
pestilential difficulties. Still, there are
a great many who think the prevention
OF smallpox lies more in the fact that
cleanliness was insisted upon rather
than that vaccination was potent
as an antidote when the bacilli attack
ed the system. Vaccination has come
into Cuch disrepute in some localities
in Ohio, that 1t is not unlikely that
'ibill will be introduced in the legisla-
tGre the coming session to prevent
school boards and other authorities
from making 1t. compulsory. II is in
sisted by some who have Investigated,
that vaccination killed more people
during the past year than smallpox.

Gottleib Eicher, of Canton, has be-
come Columbus resident. Mr.. Eicher
has established good business for
the Diebold Safe and Lock company
and has found 1t necessary to open an
Office for the concern to take care Of
the business of this section.
Up to this time. the Ohio state mi
litia has not signifed its intention to
attend the inauguration of Governor
Nash in a body. There Is no money
With which to pay the soldiers and they
would have to take advantage of such
rates as the railroad companies would
give them. III this rate were commen-
surate with that that prevailed when
the railroads took the guardsmen to
the Mckinley funeral. there would be
few soldiers who could take their
best girls to matinee once during the |
winter, and nick nacks on regular CALI
ing nights would be eschewed rather
than chewed. There will be quite a |
pageant at the doings, but the Ohio |
militia will not be heavily represent
ed.
One result that may come out of the |
present factional warfare among Ohio
Republican politicians, is the interfer-
ence with the chances of General Dick
for the governorship in two years. As
this fight is fight that takes in only
the smaller members of the party, the
General" is not immune II the
friends of Hanna and the friends OF
Foraker fall out, there will be ample
timber to choose from when nomina-
ton time comes around again. Those
who would have renamed passive will
become active enemies of Dick, who
will have little support outside of his

a leader as the party has in the state.

1t is said that Hon. Charles w.
