THE action of the Ohio Democrats
in ignoring Mr.. Bryan last week in
their platform and in their convention
has created something Of a sensation,
and is the beginning of what is prob
ably definite movement among Dem
ocrats to change policies. We favor
the proposition to have new deal.
We have been whipped pretty badly
twice with Mr.. Bryan as the leader
and free silver as the slogan, and we
confess that we prefer a chance for
victory with some other candidate to
certain defeat with him as the nominee.
Mr., Bryan is patriot of the highest
order, but he is not a winner.

THE Bryan Democrats in Ohio who
were turned down at the State con-

go ahead. Better have the issue be-

SWALLOWED HIS TEETH.

Baltimore, Nd, OcJ. l.-Maurice
A. Brooks, 10 years old, while asleep
early Saturday morning, swall wed a
plate with false teeth attached. He
was taken to the Johns IL pkins hos-
pital, where DR. Finney made an ex-
animation and louLd that the teeth
had lodged near the top OF the breast
bone.
Every effort to remove them through
the mouth failed, and an operation be.
came necessary. An inclsion was made
In the throat at about the top of the
breastbone. The plate could then be
plainly seen, but was too deeply i'm.
bedded to be removed.
The incision was therefore sewed
up, and the stomach was opened. A
rubber tube was passed into the stom
ach and up the food tract past the
plate and ut the mouth. A cord with
sponge at one end was attached to
the protrcding end OF the tube, and
the tube was pulled. The cord and
tponge followed it, and the sponge,
catching against the plate, pulled it
down the oesophagus into the stomach
from which 1t was removed.

the amount of $40 900 in each case.
The lieut.. gov. has engaged Attorn-
eys Seneca Haselton Of Burlingto ton and
F. S. Platt OF Poultney to defend him,
while Mr.. Ketchum has announced
that his counsel will be F. W. Tuttle

The cashier clerk, j. W. Ketchum,
was accused of aiding and abetting
the cashier, and he, too was appre
hended. All three were indicted by

Mr.. Ketchum assert that th9y can
clear themselves of the charges and
deny that they have done an unlaw-
full act.

SECOND RACE
Wind Was Blowing Ten
knet'
THIS MORNING;
Columbia and Shamrock Take
Their Places Again.

Highlands, N. j., Oct. 1.-The wind
is ~ knots from the northeast and the
sea is fairly smooth.
At 1855 the tug Wallace B. Flint
came alongside the Columbia and CIV
ing her q line stood for Sandy Hook.
Shortly after the tug James Lawrence
performed like service for the Sham
rock. At 9 o'clock the wind contlnu-
ed to haul to eastward and fell of a
bit. After the Shamrock cleared the
point of the Hook, S, camore sent up
the big mainsail The Columbia still
kept her mainsail on her boom.
At 10 the Columbia is off the start
ing line AMI the crew is hoiSting her
.mainsail. The main ship channel is
closed and almost clio ged by the ex-
cursion fleet. The wind is now about
due east nearly knots. The sea is
fat as a billiard table and the water
conditions are decidedly favorable to
the Brltisher.
At 1870 the compass of courses
was set. The course will be beat
to win lward ten miles east, south
southwest and half west reach to
second mark, north by northwest half
west for third leg. This will give
the reach home.
At 10 As the preparation gun was
fired. Little wind out at sea The

When the starting signal was heard
the Columbia crossed first and the
Sham rock a few seconds later.

The Philippines May Be
Changed to

Proposition viii Be Brought
Before Next Congress.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1.-The
fighting spirit of President Roosevelt
has been aroused by the news of the
disaster to the soldiers Of the 9th In.
fantry caused by the attack OF the
Samar insurgents.
He has instructed Gen. Cor in to or
der Gen. Chaffee to leave nothing un-
done to kill, capture or drive every
rebel from the island, even If 1T is
necessary to send large reinforce
ments from Manila to accomplish
that end. 1t is probable that Gen.
Chat1ee has already sent enforce
ments to Gen. Hughes.
While the loss to company c Is the
largest single one our troops have yet
suffered ia the Philippines, army Of
lcers were prepared for the news, and
they took it calmly. They we're In.
formed of the conditi. n Of the island
Of Samar.
0n the contrary, the President has
not had occasion to inform himself OF
the condition of affairs there, and was
therefore, shocked to hear the terrible
news He asked Gen. Corbin for the
real condition of affairs of every is.
land of the archipelago.
The President then told Gen. Cor
bin to instruct Gen. Chaffee to send
enough troops to the different islands
to insure protection to those that are
there and a sufficient force to clear
the islands, especially Samar, Of the
insurgents. .s....y,s ...t.,s 5-.

girls statement. They are held now at the
Carr Street Police Station for inyestiga-

A woman detective followed the wome1
yesterday afternoon. and when they left ,hs
Grand-Leader she stopped them on WASH

POLICE BOARD APPOINTMENTS.
8umor That BIong Had Been Named
Revfyes Speculation.

A report was circulated in st. Louis yes
terday to the effect that Andy Blong had
been appointed Police Commissioner. While
the rumor was without foundation, II
started afresh gossip on the subject OF the
appointments 10 the Police Board Taus
far Harry r. Hawes. Given Campbell. Doc
tor John II. Simon, Breckinrldge Jones, T.
X. Ballard. /. W. Morton. Morton Jones, T.
J. Kelly. Andy BlonS and Edwin Harrison
have been mentioned for places on the
board. Nessrs. Jones. Morton and Ballard
can hardly be considered in connection with
the offices, as they have all practically an
nOunced that they would not accept under
any circumstances
There seems to be a very general impress
sion that Harry Hawes will be reappointed.
MIR. Campbell has never said whether ne
would accept. When seen by a Republic
reporter he refused TO say anything on the
subject. Doctor Simon has made an active
fight for the appointment and he Is very
hopeful of success
All those who have been to see the Gov
ernor recently say that he has been en-
tirely noncommittal and they were unable
to guess from mis- treatment OF them what
he would do. Many think he will not ap-
point any of the Commissioners until after
the spring election
