Neither Price Nor McKinnOn Has
the Necessary Number of
Votes to Elect.
MEMBERS BEING WATCHED
Factions Are Guarding Their
Adherents With Jealous Eye
and Are Having Very
Lively Times.

COLUMBUS, o.. Jan. 3--On the eve
Of the Republican caucus. the So
called Foraker-Hanna contest over the
organization OF the Ohio legislature is
an open battle. with neither Price nor
McKinnon assured Of the % votes nee
essary FOR the Republican uomiLation
FOR the speakership Of the house.
Congressman Dick and others are
having lively times in holding their
men in line. The members On both
sides are accompanied by friends

pany
The members Of the Ohio legislature.
as well as the candidates for executive
positions. were all here today. partici-
paung in the contest previous to the
caucuses tomorrow evening. vixen
nominations are to be made for the or
ganizati0n Of the legislature on Mon
day But the wires are still kept busy
between the rival leaders, Senator
Hanna. in Washington and Foraker
in Cincinnati While both senators
have become directly involved in the
contest through direct interest Of their
respective followers, 1t developed to-
day that lines are not strictly drawn
between their friends. Many members
concur with George B. Cox. OF Cincin-
natl, in stating that this fight is not
one for supremacy OF either Foraker
or Hanna in Ohio. and that they are
on equally cordial relations with both
senators. Some Of Hanna's closest
friends are for Price, and some Of For
aker's for McKInnon for speaker. for
personal. local or other than factional
reasons.
The lines are much more distinctly
drawn between what are known as the
Cox men and the Daugherty men. Two
years ago Representative Harry NJ.
Daugherty was defeated for the guber-
Material nomination by Governor Nash.
In that contest Cox threw his whole
strength to Nash, as he is now doing
for Price McKinnon was . Daugher-
ty man then and leader in the last
legislature, which was controlled in its
organization by the Daugherty men.
Cox. who is now supporting Price for
speaker says he was pledged to him
before present complications arose.
While Cox is friendly with both, Sem
ator Daugherty is an avowed opponent
Of both. and the local feature OF the
contest is the fact that Hanna and
Daugherty are for the same man for
speaker.
Ignoring the Daugherty element en-
tirely Cox endeavored originally to
have an agreement among the leaders
and found no opposition to Price for
speaker. After Cox had committed
himself, he says the Hanna men said
Price would not do.

SEW YORK. Jan. G-The troubles
of the Everett Moore Syndicate did not
come as surprise To Wall street
bankers, says the Press. Bankers here
say that those interested are princi-

Interest coupons Of some of the
companies in the Everett Moore Syn
dicate were paid In this city yesterday
by Kcan. Van Cortlandt \ Co., bank
ers, Of this city. At that office it was
said that the firms only interest in
the syndicate was to act as fiscal for

The sypdlcates attempt to build n
line parallel to the Lake shore, Il part
Of the New York Central system, from
| Cleveland to Toledo, led to the rumor
that the New York Central manage
mcnt intended to buy out this opposi-
tion. II was asserted here however
that failure to sell to the Lake Shore
has caused the financial difficulties of
the Everett Moore Syndicate managers.
Local interest was aroused by the
reports from Cleveland because Ed
ward w Moore is director Of the
Phoenix National bank 1t was eN-
lplaincd that the syndicate directly or
indirectly did not owe the bank one
dollar and that the banks officials had
not even seen any Of the syndicate's
securities Mr. Moores proposition as
| a Wall street banker was also explain
ed by saying that the banks manage
ment had considered him as a man
who probably would bring business to
the bank. For that reason his name
was added to the directory a year ago
this month. But Mr., Moore did moth
ing more than open small personal
account with the bank. on account
of his absence from the city he has
been unable to even attend any meet
ings OF the board of directors.

MASSAGE FOR DOGS
 THE LATEST CRAZE
Frenchman Introduces the Fad Into Fashionable Circles at National
 Capital.

Washington, July 6.-The aristocrats of the national capital have new fad. It is massage for pet dogs. An artist who administered these treatments designated himself physical cultur- ist.'' He IS Frenchman with an Eng fish accent. Ge is in rapidly growing demand among the swell set.
 In defense of this new fad the dog masseur says:
 ''The physical development of the dog may be made symmetrical has tened here or retarded there. as may be necessary, and his appearance and value may be vastly improved by prep CT exercise. massage and manicure treatment. His spirits may be kept high and his life prolonged. That is my speciality.
 Every muscle and tendon is sepa- rately manipulated in the nlassa ge treatment and gradually strengthened to the normal. This extends to the muscles of the back, neck and legs with special treatment of the under part of the body. designed to stimu- late and strengthen the digestive func- tiCns.

NEEDED NO
 "EDIFICATION''

A prominent Texas lawyer whose western frontier gives this passage from sermon delivered by Rev. C., who once administered spiritual food to the cowboy of the plains: Rev. G was no advocate of an educated min istry. and in one of his sermons deliV- cred his views on that subject in this wise:
 My friends, edifcation is no cbjec- ton on itself. but it is d rank and smoking sin for servants of the Lord to waste years to get an edificatiOn when every day and every mint the devil needs roping and currying. As your ministers and Gods serI ant it is my duty to tell you the truth in it's working jeans, and I find that to do that edificaUiOn is not needed in my business. If you must have book edil- cation, why pick it up while hoeing and raking in the Lords vineyard, but don't steal the LCrd's time to get it. Nc. in the minister edification is not needed at all to do the Lords work, for He will put the right words in your mouth at the right time. and ther you can spit out blazing truth easier and faster than hungry trout can swallow mnnows. Why. my friends. time and again when l got warmed up in the pulpit l have used words that 1 never heard of before. and as soon as meet;n was over men, and some of them edi- Heated. too. would walk up and ask me: Brother, where did you get them words
 The next morning as the lawyer whc preserved and stored in his memory that section Of Preacher G-'s ser mon approached the court house he saw this notice signed by stockmlr , sticking OF the door:
 II have 200 steer yearlirgs whiof say Brother C. can outpreach any man west of the Brazos. Welmc. CTeXD Mercury

A TRAGEDY OF THE MERRIMAC.
Woman Drowned at Haverhill-Man
 She Was to Meet Not There.

Haverhill. Mass, July 6.-The police are Investigating the death of Miss Jeanette NJ. Thurston. formerly of Ex- eter, N. H., whose body was found in noon. A hatelaine bag and hat belong ing to the woman were found on the bank of the river about two miles be- low Haverhill this forenoon, and a search resulted in the finding of the body.
 Two letters addressed to Miss J. M. Thurston. Miller House. Great Bar and the officers learned that Miss Thurston had registered at that hotel last week, paying a weeks charges in advance.

 Miss Thurston's parents live at EX- (. Rand. identified the body this even- irS. She had been living with John M. Fischer. and the impression hei family had was that she was the mans wife.

AS TO COLLEGE MORALITY.
Is It True That It Is Below That of
 the World at Large?

If it be true. as the Rev. Dr. Elwood Worcester declares in the baccalau- cate sermon to the seniors of the Uni versity Of Pennsylvania. that the nor ality of the college is inferior tn that of the world at large. then there is grave reason for q sweeping reform Of college life.
 Ii would have been most interesting if Dr. Worcester could have entered into an exposition of the causes of the inferior morality oi colleges. II is true that he said also thrt coll"g" lifr makes few demands on the moral aa- ture. But that is general and not eX- planatory. The college is the place of preparation fer the world. where many demands are made on the moral na- ture. Where else, If not at college, should the moral nature be educated ! For four years of q young mans life, and those in all probability the most critical of all the college is his home. Why has not some one bethou2ht him or her to devise a plan whereby some thing like the pure home atmosphere could invest the young man at college!
 Is it imprac ticable? Whether it be SC or not, Dr. Worcester has put his fin ger on the sore wound O1 modern nigh CT education. To many young mon the college, aside from it's cherished intel lectual associations, is little more than a barrack. without that severe per sonal discipline which maintains a cer- tain ideal of duty in the military that cannot be departed from without dirl results. In tCO many colleges the dis cipline is as narrow and as literal as that of q regiment Ii is concerned only with intellectual requirements and the ostensible observance ci certain rules of conduct. The college is mother to the student only wheT he is within her walls. or when his conduct abroad is so very fragrant that she cannot ignore it. Too many boy:
 at college need to be "mothered. | many would never go astray among
 town if that influence were not too fa' removed. Of course, the old theory ol | the masCuiiHity of learning still oh tains in a great degree, and it is righ 1 that there should be TO effemnacE il the system of training that is expected l to develop manliness in the compre 1 hensiVe sense But d better nanlin"S, | is sometimes begotten of ass, citation

 does not. This. at least, ought not t' 1 be so. But where is the remcdy"- l Philadelphia Times
