MUST PAY $75
To Get on the Ticket In
Stark County.

The Republican executive committee,
In whose hands the fixing of the as
sessment upon congressional candi-
dates was LETT, fixed the amount at
$75 for all candidates with Stark coun-
ty, and for candidates from the other
counties of the district sum equal to
that which has been assessed in the
county from which the candidate
comes.
This means that Kennedy, of Mahon-
ing, will have to pay $3.50 to announce
in Stark county. Judge James b. Ken
nedy and County Clerk Edwards were
in Canton Saturday evening to leave
Kennedy's announcement, but when it
was discovered that this kind of an
assessment had been made, the name
was not announced and will not be.
The action OF the. Stark county COM
uittee took them rather by surprise,
It is said, and Kennedy will have to
confine his efforts to Mahoning county.
Not only has Mahining assessed cam
didates $3.50, but rule was adopted
so that the man getting the greater
number Of votes will be allowed to
name the entire delegation from all the
precincts In the county. This unit
rule was another bar against all out
side candidates.

OHIO'S centennial.
Commission Appointed by Gov
ernor Nash to Make N.ces-
sary ARA

Columbus, June 21.-Gov. Nash yes
terday appointed the commission to
assist the Ohio Archaeological and
Historical society in conducting the
centennial celebration Of the admis-
sion Of Ohio into the union as a state.
The commission is provided for by
an act of the last general assembly
and the appointments are purely hon
orary, there being no compensation
whatever connected with the positions.
The commission is composed of James
arnett, Cleveland; ]. Warren Kiefer,
Springfield: Rush r. Sloan. Sandusky;
r. B. Cowen, Cincinnati; Davis s.
Gray, Columbus; George w. McCook.
Steubenville; Charles M. Anderson,
Granville.
There is quite dispute over the
exact date on which the celebration
Is to be held. The first constitution
of the state was ratified Nov. 20, 1902;
the congress on Feb. II, 1902, passed
an act erecting the state of Ohio into
federal judicial district and provided
for the appointment Of district judge,
this being the first recognition given
the state by the congress; the first
state legislature met March /, 1903
The Archaeological and Historical So
ciety favors March 1 and it is probable
that the celebration will be held on
that day in Chillicothe.

PRESIDENT LEADS
A GAY PROCESSION
Chief Executive Returning From
Ride Is Followed by Gro
tesque Individual.

Washington, June 23.-Those who
were lettering near the white house
about twilight Saturday evening beheld
a unique procession. The pageant
came along Seventeenth street toward
the Avenue and moved with all the
solemnity of a funeral cortege. First
came the president Stride of his
favorite horse. About ten feet behind
came General Wood. Then came the
orderly, showing the effects of hard
riding and drenching rain.
About forty PAGES after these was a
gorgeous individual. clad in crimson
and gold and mounted on magnificent
white charger. He was advertising q
popular cigar, but the twilight covered
these vulgar details. After the deco
rated horseman came a string Of bi.
cyclers, and then the inevitable line ol
email black boys and others who
thought there was something doing.

the following turned into the west gate
of the white house with General WOOD
and the orderly close behind. The
crimson warrior rode up gaily ant
started to go in, but was stopped by
the watchman. He protested.
Then the crowd increased and some
shouting began. The president looked
around and, seeing the commotion
rode back to the gate to inquire. HI
found the cigar youth violently insist
ing on his rights and all the availabn
police trying to keep the crowd out
The watchman explained that the peo
pie thought the gorgeous youth was {
prince who had gone riding with tn
president. General Wood Joined tn
party and there was loud laughter
while the cigar man rode away and tn
crowd dispersed much disgusted.

Program Of Business for
Present Week.
RECIPROCITY TREATY
With Cuba 10 Well Underway
Odd Stra nds to be Picked
Up-The Canal
Bill.

Washington, June 23.--The sessions
Of the senate during the present week
will be devoted to odds and ends OF
legislation. 1t was the purpose Of the
Republican steering committee to
make the Cuban reciprocity bill the
order Of business after the disposition
of the inter-oceanic canal bill, but the
two Republican conferences have rem
dered evident that there could be no
reciprocity legislation this session, so
the steering committee has abandoned
its purpose.
On Tuesday the senate will take up
In obedience to the wish Of Senator
Burton the bill creating national
forest reserve in the southern Appa-
lachain mountain range, but the un-
derstanding is that consideration Of
the measure shall be confined to one
day. Wednesday Senator McCumber
will be heard in support of the pure
food bill, but consideration of this
question, under agreement with the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians is the
unfinished business, and It is under
stood to be Mr.. Stewards purpoe to
press its consideration when there Is
mo- more highly privileged matter to
be considered. Senator Penrose on
Monday will report the general immi-
grafton bill, and 1t is understood that
he will make strenuous effort to have
the measure considered during the
week, or at least before the final ad-
j0urnment Of congress.
For the rest the week will be given
over to conference reports on appro-
priation bills, and other measures In
dispute between the two houses The
conference report on the naval appro-
priation bin will be submitted on
Monday, and early consideration will
be an effort to have the dispute over
the army bfll adjusted during the
week, with some prospect Of success.
The committee on appropriations will
take up the general deficiency bill
tomorrow, and probably will report
II the latter part Of the week. This
is the last of the appropriation bills,
and with it's disposal there will be
little in the way Of final adjournment
of congress.
1t Is generally understood about
the senate that a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba Is we'll underway, but 1t is
not ~ believed that there will be any
effort to ratify 1t during the present
session, even If the document should
be sent to the senate. The disposition
in brief is to go to the country on the
question, In the hope that the cause
will be strengthened thereby and that
at least some of the beet sugar Repub-
leans will be won over by next De-
cember, Senator'S generally do not
count on an extra session immediately
in case treaty should be sent in, but
many of them are inclined to believe
that II the treaty is completed the
senate will be called together In extra
ordinary session for its consideration
soon after the November election, In
order to get the treaty out of the
way II possible before the beginning
of the regular session in December.

The county assessors of the state of
Washington met in annual session at
the court house, North Yakima, Feb. 5,
1902, and adjourned at p m, on the
9th to meet at Olympia the third Tues
day in January, 1908. OF the 80 coun-
ties in the state % were represented as
follows:

ton was called to order by Chairman
w. A. Bailey of King county and an
organization was effected by re-electing
Mr.. Bailey as chairman and NJ. b.
.Jaques OF Stevens county, secretary
The only business transacted at the
afternoon session was the appointment
of the following committees to formulate
a uniform schedule for basis of ASSESS
ment:
Railway, telephone and telegraph
Bailey, Copenshire and Scott.
Banks and anchises-Buxton, Will,
Corke, Stevenson and Messenger.
Lands-Dale, Specie, Duff, Smith,
McRae and Jacques.
The respective committees were in.
structed to hold an evening session,
make up report and submit it to the
convention at 9. a. m. Thursday. A
general discussion here followed on the
various matters under consideration. In
appointing committee on lands Chair
man Bailey remarked that he did not
like the term east and west side as
applied to the state and wished the
assessors would try to impress this mat
tex fully on the people of their respec-
tive counties. 1t sounded harsh to his
ears and was unnecessary. He simply
wanted this state to be known, as
whole, as Washington. The matter of
mountain range dividing the two parts
should not be so insurmountable as to
cause this feeling, and hoped that the
committee on lands would make up
schedule without reference to it and to
the best interests of all concerned.
The question of amending the consti-
tuition so as to permit county officials to
serve more than two terms was liber-
ally discussed and it was agreed that
efforts should be used to effect change
Of this kind. The reason for this change
is to permit the people to keep good
man in office any length OF time when
it is discovered one of that kind is
found. 1t was also deemed wise and
