HERR|CK'S
STATEMENT
Willy Colonel Wishes to Appear Mere

date.
COLUMBUS View OF THE CONTEST.
(Staff Correspondent

Columbus, Jan. 6.-The statement OF
Colonel Myron T. Herrick. of Cleve-
land, issued Monday, bearing on the
gubernatorial question was not what
was expected. He did not say that he
was candidate, but that If the peo-
pie desired he would accept the nom
ination. While there is an abundance
of evidence showing he is an active
candidate, his statement merely puts
him in the light of being a receptive
candidate If it follows universal SEN
timent does not favor Herrick, his
adroitly worded pronunciamento will
make it possible for him to retire from
the race gracefully
Senator Hanna is said to be pleased
that Herrick has entered the lists. II
Is declared he will use his uttermost
endeavor to secure the Cuyahoga coun-
ty delegation for him, but it is under
stood now that he will take no active
part in the governorship contest in
other counties. The senator is anxious
to reclaim Cuyahoga county from the
Democracy and believes that with Her
rick a candidate the trick can be
turned.
Friends of General Dick have been
subiecting his alleged withdrawal
statement to careful analysis and are
claiming that 1t does not eliminate him
from the contest. While believing he
will make no active fight for the hon
nr, they think he will stand in the at
titude of a receptive candidate, ready
to take the honor should it develop
that general sentiment favors him,

that the matter should be settled fair

are not misleading, the great majority

that such a course be carried out.

THE day was when men of promi-
u ncnce hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true today
of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hes
itates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignifled representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
l.. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. T.. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, Ga, writes !:
"Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives mo pleasure to
testify to its true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca.
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other RENE
dies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special

in Yard Force.

The report of the yardmaster of the
w. C l.. e. was submitted Tuesday
morning. The. report was for the
month of December. 1902. 1t shows
the following:
The number of loads and empties
handled through Canton yards, other
than the city delivery, for December,
1902, was 1852. These are the cars
which were destined to go out of the
city.
The city delivery was $3.50, thus
making a grand total of 23,S62. The
delivery this year was not as large as
last year, owing to the fact that all
switch engines and the like were
classed in with the report The
heaviest day In the month for foreign
delivery was December 81. when 679
loads were handled. The heaviest day
in the month for the local delivery
was on December 81, when 412 loads
were handled.

of the w. & l.. E., who resigned his
position, has gone to Cleveland to
take charge Of the Nickle Plate yards

STREET CAR HIT
HORSE AND BUGGY
Ed. j. Myers Had Narrow Es-

Badiv Injured,

Ed ]. Meyer had a narrow escape
from death Monday night about 1880
O'Clock. He was driving down Shorb
street with horse and buggy and
when crossing Fifth street he discov-
cred a Massllon car coming just as
the horse was on the track. Seeing
that he could not get across he at
tempted to pull the horse back and to
one side TIe ad almost succeeded
when the lines broke. and just at that
moment the car struck the horse up
on the side of the head, knocking it
down and rendering it senseless.
TIE car was stopped after it ran some
distance and the conductor and motor
man ran back to the scene of the ac
cident. The moment the horse fell
Mr.. Meyer jumped out of the rig and
went to it's head. 1t lay as though
dead for some time, and then got upon
its feet. An examination showed that
the rig had not been damaged, and
the extent of the injuries to the horse
could not be ascertained.
Witnesses to the accident state that
the car was running at rapid rate of
speed and when 1t struck the horses
head there was a loud sound as ii
the animals skull had been crushed.
Tuesday morning it was discovered
that the horse had been badly hurt,
and for time 1t was thought that its
jaw was broken, but DR.. Blanchard
stated that no bones had been frac-
tured.
Had Meyer attempted to cross the
track the car would have struck the rig
and in all probability have killed both
horse and driver.
