Ohio Republicans Wind Up
Convention In a Hurry.
THREE NEW MEN on THE TICKET.
Yhc Nomination of Nippcrt In Place
of Lieutenant Governor Caldwell
without Opposition Caused
some Comment.

COLUMBUS. o.. June 2G.-The Re
publican state convention met here yes
terday and nominated the following tick
ct. Governor. George X. Nash; licuten-
ant governor. Carl l.. Nippert; supreme
judge, j. l.. Price; attorney general. John
NJ. Sheets; clerk of the supreme court,
Lawson Il. Emerson; state treasurer,
Isaac B. Cameron; member board of pub
lie works, W. G.. Johnston.
The convention was in session from
1910 n. M. to 40 y. M, breaking the
Ohio record 10y completing its work in
three hours. The intense heat was pros
trating and Chairman Hanna not only
cut short his own speech, but also those
of others, and then dispatched business
with the utmost speed.
In those three hours the convention
nominated a full state ticket, adopted its
declaration of principles, indorsed Jo-
eeph Il. Foraker as the Republican can
didatc for reelection as United States
senator completed the party organization
for the campaign and transacted other
business.
OF the seven nominations only three
were new men, and one of these, Nippert
for lieutenant governor. was nominated
without opposition, after Lieutenant Gov
crnor Caldwell had declined renominn-
ton. Nash. Sheets Cameron and John
ston were renominatcd for second terms
without opposition. There were free for
all contests for the nominations for su-
premc judge and clerk of the supreme
court.
1t had been currently reported that
Crew and Critchficld were on the Hanna
slate for these two nominations. but Sen
ator Hanna vigorously denied taking any
part whatever in the contests for these
two places. The vote showed that Price
and Emerson had formed combination
that worked successfully for both of
( them Judge Price of Lima has been on
the common pleas and circuit benches,
and Emerson has been prominent in poll
tics in eastern Ohio for years.
The nomination that caused the most
comment was that of Nippert in place of
Lieutenant Governor Caldwell, the latter
being the only one who was elected with
, Governor Nash two years ago that was
not renominated for n second term. The
state Antisaloon league caused Caldwell
to run several thousand behind his ticket
in 1899 and had vigorously opposed his
nomination.

of young Hay was traced IN an effort to
penetrate the uncertainties of the awful
affair Ii was learned that the young
man on May % left Washington with
his mother and two sisters for Newbury,
\. H., the summer home of Secretary
Hay. Last week he left New Hamp-
shire for New York, where he spent some
days. He arrived in New Haven Sat
urday evening in time for dinner and
went Immediately to the New Haven
House, where he was assigned to room
No. AZ, third floor, front, directly over
the Chapel street entrance to the hotel
Office. Young Hay was one of the van
guard of the academic class of Yale '9S
He had come to his old college home as
a member of his class triennial commit
tee and came early to assist his col
leagues on the committee in preparing
for the festivities of commencement week
in general and for the class supper in
particular.
There was n solitary spectator to the
terrible tragedy, laborer of the city
streets. At the hour mentioned the
workman saw the form Of man falling
through space. An instant later there
was Il sickening thud, and the form lay
PROSTATE directly i'll front of the main
hotel entrance.
The body was clad in pyjamas. On the
window sill of the room occupied by
young Hay was found a partly consumed
cigarette. On the floor near the window
was a ring worn by the victim. His cloth
ing had been neatly arranged, and the
bedclothes were drawn back. The bed,
however, had not been occupied. Here
the mystery becomes intangible.
The popular theory seems to have it
that the young man, having prepared for
bed, thought to indulge in good night
smokc;" that he chose the cool of the
| window, possibly dozed, lost his balance
and fell from the window.

Stone Hay, consul to Pretoria during the
more stirring and momcntous stages OF
the Boer war, the oldest son Of the Hon.
John Hay, secretary of state in Presi-
dent McKinley's cabinet, and one of the
most prominent sons of Yale, met tragic
death in this city at 2;80 o'clock Sunday
morning. The manner of the death, its
victim and the fact that the tragedy oc-
cured on the very eve of Nale's COM
mencement. In which the young man by
virtue of his class Office was TO have been
leader-these sad conditions have cast
an unmistakable gloom over the gladdest
of Yale seasons.
Mr.. Hay went to a death the full de-
tails of which will never be known.
Shortly before 2:30 o'clock in the morn

story of the New Haven House, where

bryan For Principles. Not Men.

BUFFALO, June 26.-The following
over the signature of Mr.. William Jen-
nngs Bryan appeared in The Times, Mr.
Norman Il. Mack's paper, yesterday aft
ernoon: Il am not only not a candidate
for any Office, but have no candidate in
mind for any Office. My interest centers
in principles, and men are important only
as they aid In carrying out these princi-
pies. The Democratic party stands for
definite, positive principles, and unless
mistake the sentiments of the masses
the voters will insist upon adhering to
these principles in spite of tho threats
Of reorganizers. Those who argue from
the standpoint Of expediency will not
have influence with the voters, because
no one can say what is eXpedient. We
may deserve to win and yet lose, but it
still remains that to deserve to win is the
surest road to success"

extent of the vast damage done by the
food cannot yet be accurately stated
All over this section there is great re-
lief expressed at the announcement that

The Norfolk and Western Railroad
company continues to make every effort
to hasten the opening of communication
between the affected district and the out
side world. Laborers are going in a con-
tinual stream, and many hundreds more

Il frame tenement four stories high, with
stores on the ground floor. The middle
store was occupied by Rittcnburg. Ten
families occupied flats in the building.
Fortunately it was not half an hour
later. or the results would have been
frightful and might have rolled up n
death list into the hundreds, for adjoining
the wrecked building was No. 3 school,
in which were hundreds of children. Not
only was the school damaged, but large
quantities of wreckage were hurled into
It. As il was, some OF the school children
playing near the schoolhouse were in
jured. So great was the force of the ex-
plosion that boy playing in the street
half a block away was lifted from his
feet and hurled against an iron fence and
one of his legs broken. There was a troll
ley car directly in front of the building
when the explosion occurred, and the
burst of fame blown out into the street
by the expansion of the air scorchcd the
sides of the car and singed the hair of
those who were in the car.
Every building in the neighborhood
was stripped of glass. Families seated
at their dinner were thrown from their
chairs to the floor. Then there was n
frightful scene in the streets.

TiIIey Before the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Command-
er Tilley. the naval governor of Samoa,
was taken by Secretary Long to the cabi-
net meeting yesterday and made an inter
esting statement on the conditions in Sa-
moa. He pointed out the need of indus
trial and agricultural institutions in Sa-
moa. In view of the alarming extent of
'ickness. particularly among young chill
'ren. it has been suggested that American
curses would find Samoa an exceptionally
good field for their humane work. Com
mander Tilley says that in one respect
civilization has worked to the detrment
Of the Samoans. While they lived with
out clothing they were hardy and free
from sickness, but since adopting clothing
they get wet from rain, contract colds,
and number have developed consump-
tion, a disease not known before.

LONDON, June 2G.-The casualty lists
made public by the war Office continue to
show rather severe fighting in various
parts of South Africa that are not re-

is noticeably so with regard to the Zee
rust position in Cape Colony, 1t also in

the repeated looting of jamestown in

the concentration camps, the cost of sup
porting some 10000 Beers is today falling
upon the British taxpayers.

THE RUMORR HAS SPREAD
Report is Current i'm Colorado That
Argentine Smelter is to be
Moved to lola.

The REGISTER has already com
mented on the visit of A. II. Meyer,
president of the Kansas City Smelling
and Refining Company, with high of
licials of the Santa Fe, to lola. Mr..
James A. Davis, who brought the
cement plant here. was with Meyer.
They visited all the smelters and put
in whole day viewing:the beauties of
gas as applied to smelling. Then the
Argentine smelter shut down, without
reason, and without any spromise of
ever resuming. The most skillful
and highest paid employees have been
sent to other plants of the company so
they will not get away.
How the rumor came to lola that the
company might build here, nobody
can tell, But the rumor seems lively.
Mr.. S. A. Wheeler is just home from
the mining country in Colorado and
reports that in the mines it is common
report that the smelter is to be moved
here. Il. A. Edgar, the Santa Fe
agent, is also home and he heard the
interesting news out there. The Ar
gentine works got its ores from Colo
RADIO and so the news might easily
travel there.
And should gas invite the smelter
of precious ore with its ::employes
here, what else is there to help pull.
Sulphuric acid is needed in large
quantities, and there is the Standard
Acid works just being completed. Mr..
William Lanyon possibly knows sew
eral things he has not made public.
Another necessary article is good
limestone and the lola limestone is 80
percent pure.
With the big item, fuel, supplied by
gas, and with acid and stone here,
the smelter could afford to make the
change.
