The Stark county delegation to the

that Tom Johnson had entered the

IN THE PATH
OF THE STORM
urther Reports Of Da m
age by Heavy Hail Of
Thursday.

Echoes of the hail storm, which
swept over the northern part of Stark
county Thursday are still being heard.
The extent of the storm area was
greater than at first supposed, its track
extending through Summit county,
where the destruction was almost as
great as in Stark. Southeast of Alli-
ance and in the vicinity of Damascus
in Columbiana county the hail and
wind was very destructive, doing great
damage to corn, oats and fruits. In
the path of the storm everything was
literally destroyed.
In some sections near Alliance peo-
pie gathered the hail stones aud used
them to freeze Ice cream successfully.
From all over the country strange
stories of the freaks of the storm are
reported. In addition to chickens be-
ing killed, wild birds were found dead
oi ~ 'ppiSu anu ~ 10 thou6hI lhdL many
young quail and rabbits perished.
In Summit county the loss is var
iously estimated at from $25,OOO to
$l50,000. A dispatch from Krumroy,
O., states that the hail fell in that
vicinity in great volumes, doing much
destruction. The character of the
storm was the same as that in this
section, showing that it was the same
storm cloud.
The storm has done much to in
crease the trade in window glass.
Farmers from the north part of the
county were in Canton Friday buying
glass. One farmer alone bought 80
panes, every bit Of glass in two sides Of
his dwelling having been smashed.
The cold weather caused by the fall
ing hail still continues, Canton people
being compelled to don heavy wraps
when out of doors and in some in
stances fires have been lighted to warm
up dwellings.

Democrat stated Saturday that from
all indications 1t is probable that Zim-
norman will withdraw from the race,
as his nomination is regarded as ut
terly impossible with Johnson in the
race.
Justice of the Peace Jacob Reigner
is very jubilant over the decision of
the mayor and sees in his announces
ment plan to reach the presidential
chair in 1908. Reigner's ideas run
something like this: Johnson will
make a big fight this year to cut the
Republican majorities, and also to les
sen the Republican majorities in the
state legislature. If he is successful
he will be the candidate for governor
again and will probably gain enough
strength to be elected If such would
be the case Mayor Tom wound be tho
logical Democratic candidate for pres
ident in 1908.

Rome, Aug. g. = The attention of
Rome is now centered upon the SOL
emn coronation ceremony which is
to occur Sunday, and for which great
preparations have been made. The
throne Of st. Peter, which Plus X. will
occupy, will be surmounted by can
opy forty feet high. The function will
consume five hours.
The pope has informed the vatican
officials that he wishes to be received
on the threshold of the basilica by
Cardinal Rampolla, who, as archpriest
of the church, will address the formal
greetings to him. AT the conclusion
of the ceremony the pope will confer
his blessing upon the people, but It
has not yet been decided whether he
will do SO inside the church or from
the balcony looking out upon the piaz-
"a, where many hoped he would be-
stow his benediction on the day Of his
election. 1t is said that Plus Is favor
able to the latter plan, but that the
influence Of the vatican officials is
against it, on the ground that it might
be interpreted as recognition of the
present state of affairs in Italy. The
holding Of the coronation ceremonies
in st. Peters itself represents con-
cession, as in the case of Leo XIII 1t
occurred in the Sistine chapel.
Although it is expected that sixty
thousand tickets will be issued for the
event, the demand for them is already
very great.

TOM JOHNSON !
FOR GOVERNOR.
His Candidacy Has Been Definitely
Decided Upon, Says Plain
Dealer.
EFFORTS Directed TO LEGISLATURE

Mayor Johnson's candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for governor
of Ohio was definitely decided upon
yesterday, after a conference betweeil
Mr.. johnson and Charles p. Salen, the
mayors chief political lieutenant"
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"Mr. Johnson's decision to allow his
name to go before the convention was
reached only after careful thought, and
is in response to the insistent demand
of the Democratic leaders throughout
the state who are friendly to the poll
cies and issues of the mayor.
1T was Mr.. Salen who yesterday
evening made the official announce
ment of the mayors decision.
T." Tom L.. J6hnson's name will be
presented for the nomination for gov,
ernor at. the Democratic state conven-
tion, said Mr.. Salen, and If it is the
will of the party, he will this fall lead
the fight for the success Of those live
state issues for which the party stands.
Although it Is well known that
Mayor Johnson's chief interest in the
state campaign this fall lies in the elec-
tion of Democratic legislature and the
defeat of Senator Hanna in his desire
for reelection, the mayor will also
enter the gubernatorial fight to win.
His own success, however, will bo
a secondary consideration, and through
out the campaign his main attention. !
will be given to the legislative fightI
in every county in the state"

THE Yellowstone park is something
absolutely unique in the world. No
where else in any civilized country is
there to be founu such tract of veri-
table wonderland, where at the same
time not only the scenery of wilder
ness, but the wild creatures of the
park are scrupulously preserved as
they were, the only change being that
these same wild creatures have been
SO carefully protected as to show lit
orally astounding tameness. This
park was created and now is admin
istered for the benefit and the enjoy
ment of the people. The only way
that the people as whole can secure
to themselves and their children the
enjoyment in perpetuity of what the
Yellowstone park has to give is by as
suming the ownership in name of the
nation, and by jealousy safeguarding
and preserving the scenery, the for
ests, and the creatures. At present it
is rather singular that a greater num-
Der of people come from Europe than
from our own eastern states to see
it."

DAVENPORT DOTS

An inquiry has come from New
York City asking for one Ambrose
Hickey, who it states was last heard
of in Davenport. The inquiry states
that he has a fortune amounting to
something over 100000 waiting for
him in the east and that the attorneys
for the estate are trying to locate
him. From the inquiry it would seerh
that the man was about 40 years of
age and that he had spent most of
his time in Davenport. The money
left to him comes from the estate of
a distant relative who has recently
passed away. y careful search in the
city directory does not reveal the
name of Ambrose Hickey, however,
and inquiry gives no further light
on the subject. The supposition is
that he was a laboring man who
came here for few months perhaps,
and whose name was not in the di-
rectory.

in his splendid private laboratory. All
this has brought this scientist the

that he values the thankful words of
gratitude that come in the letters from
humble people whom he has by his
