~ OLUMBUS, o., July 13. - In
~ dorsement has already been CIV
en- the candidacy of John l.. thinner
man, of Springfield, for governor by a
number of prominent members of the
party.
Chairman w. ]. Frey, of the state
central committee, and Colonel James
Kilbourne of Columbus who was the
Democratic nominee for governor two
years ago, are the latest to declare for
Zimmerman. The announcement of
the former that he was for Zimmerman
was surprising in view of his having
been for some time counted a Johnson
man. Frey said he was pleased with
Zimmermans announcement and that
he was a good man and an old-time
Democrat of the unquestioned kind.
He said he stands on the platform of
true Jacksonian principles, and that
he would make an ideal candidate and
an excellent governor. Colonel Kill

The agitation against the Columbus
let trust, campaign quite similar to
that now being waged in Canton, has
reached the poetic stage and we may
expect to see the trust busted without
further delay. The Columbus Citizen
prints the following:

And, oh my!
You will see the money fly.

Are free.
Yes, maybe

That's the powder we use in that
rifle there" he said, pointing TO one
of the guns.
Nobody laughed SO heartily as The
General himself at the very ridiculous
idea of the head of the United States
army not knowing what powder was
when he saw it.
One of the officers then said, "That
stuff is put up in these boxes you sec

Secrets of Vatican That Have Rcnchci
Public Knowledge.
AS a rule the secrets of the vatican
are well kept and most of the stories
that are told apropos of the new Pope
must be taken with grain of salt.
Now and again, however, something of
the romance of the papacy really leaks
out, though not through the Cardinals.
There was. for example, the strange
case of Pope Piux IN, pretty well
known n generation ago. but now al
most forgotten. Iii his younger days.
when he was Count Mastai Ferrati and

vored the young count, but Nine. De
Sails drove the lover away. After
ward she relcnted. the count returned
and the wedding dny was fixed. On
the appointed day the bride and her
friends We're Mt the church, but no
bridegroom appeared, and Count Mas
tai Ferrati was never seen again. Years
afterward Miss Foster went to see
Pope Piux TX and was astonlslied to

The most sensational novelist could
