For the G. A, r. Boys.

The Baltimore * Ohio railroad has
issued the most attractive Washington
souvenir we have ever seen. The en-
craving Of Gen. Washington on the
iirst page is exceedingly fine, while the
engravings of important buildings and
monuments are In the finest lines Of
art. These are accompanied with der
scriptions Of historic buildings and
places that make 1t interesting read
ing. Tue road has also issued very
instructive aud valuable folder that
gives all points OF interet along the
line and In Washington, and many
other points Of interest that the G. A.
X boys will find valuable during the

FORAKER FOR VICE PRESIDENT?
Rumored That an Effort Will
Be Made to Induce Him to
Become a Candidate.

Special to the Leader
Washington, August l3--An interest
ing piece of political gossip going the
rounds tonight is that an effort Is TO be
made to induce Senator B. Foraker,
of Ohio, to become q candidate for Vice
President in 1904 This suggestion Is
supposed to emaDate from friends OF
President Roosevelt, who calculates
that with the senior Senator an as
pirant for second place on the national
ticket, the chance OF Senator Nj. A
Hanna's bses ming q rival candidate
for President will be reduced to min
imun-
Il is not to be expected, however,
that Mr.. Foraker would consent to have
himself considered candidate for Vice
President He has q full Senatorial
term ahead of him after March B, 1903,
and doubtless would not relinquish the
conspicuous place he occupies in the
upper branch of Congress for the po-
sition of its presiding officer. More
over, the Senator's name has been con-
nected with the Republican Presiden-
tial nomination in 1908.

REDUCE STATE FAIR RATES.
Railways Make Concessions to
State Fair Management.

The railway companies seem to be
taking . greater interest than usual In
the Ohio State Fair. This Is, perhaps,
due to the fact that times are good and
10 the natural desire TO 60 somewhere.
The railway companies, appreciating
this. are encouraging the desire by
Offering low rates and ample sccommo-
dxtions from every quarter Of the State
and from many direct points outside
the SLate.
F. C. Donald, commissioner OF the
Central Passeng Association at Chi
cago, has notified the Fair manage
ment that the association has author
ized, over all Its lines In Ohio, q State
Fair rate OF one fair for the round trip,
good for the entire week, and twenty
eight railway lines composing the Ohio
membership have been requested To an
nounce the rates.
Since the last State Fair several In.
terurban electric railway lines out oI
Columbus have tapped many small
towns within q radius OF fifty miles
and these lines will swell the crowds tl
considerable extent
Never were prospects better for 9 big
State Fair The city itself will afford
much entertainment for the thousand:
of strangers who are attracted here b,
| the fair.

decided To open an Information bureau

Ninety-elght Per Cent.

There Is a fascination about big profits to
n business man. But the conservative and
cautious trader prefers to have the lesser per
cent. of interest and the larger per cent. of
safety In his Investments. There Is no busi-
ness man who would not consider IL a sound
proposition To invest In an enterprise In
which absolute loss was impossible and which
offered ninety eight chances In u hundred Of

Accident in West Liberty.

Last Monday afternoon as Mrs. Henry
Dorm, Mrs. Lem Crane and Miss Nellie
Geiger were riding in Mrs. Dorn's car
riage along Taylor street, the shafts
came loose on one side OF the carriage,
but the horse did not try TO get away.
The ladies all jumped out, and Miss
Geiger was holding the horse when the
animal frightened at something and
whirled around, knocking Mrs Dorm
down and the wheels Of the carriage
passed over her, badly bruising her
face, right arm and right limb. Miss
Geiger pluckily held on to the horse,
although IL ran into the fence and badly
damaged the right side OF the carriage

DOESN'T WANT TO-
Run on the Democratic Ticket
for Congress.

Tom johnson has been hunting for q
De mocrat to run for Congress against
Burton in one of the Cuyahogs districts,
but has not yet found his man. The
second man he tried was Charles w.
Sage, Democratic member Of the
present Legislature. Mr.. Sage not
only declined to run, bG. gave these
good reasons why he would not be q
candidate:
II will not accept the nomination for
Congress In the Twenty-first district
1 have made up my mind to devote my
time to law and not to politics. My
future will be in the law and not In
politics. Even il I were q candidate
and were elected, the probabilities are
that at the end of my first term would
be defeated for reelection.
"Mr. Burton has made q good Con-
gressman. He has been in Congress
five terms now, and in the last two
terms he has come TO be a man OF ma
tional prominence A first termer can
never accomplish much. IL / should
go down there, at the end OF my first
term The comparison between Mr. Bur-
toms last term and my first one would
defeat me for reelection. 1t would
be the same with any other first
termer.
''Mr. Burton Is q scholar. He Is thor
oughly interested in his Congressional
work and devotes all OF his time to it.
No, will not be q candidate"

Of Senate Will Probably Be

that of many members of both political
