Nominate M. It. Herriclz For Govern
or and IndOrse Roosevelt.
COLUMBUS, O., June. 5.-The Re-
publican state convention closed with
much ALTERATION in its battle cries.
In the convention while Senator For
aker was presiding the delegates add
ed to the "H's" the cry of Hanna,
Herrick, Harding and Harmony"
While all conceded that it was ''Han-
mas year." the senator would not use
his influence except in naming for the
head of the ticket his neighbor, Myron
7. Herrick, for governor. The senator's
friend, George B. Cox of Cincinnati,
named Warren G.. Harding for lieuten-
ant governor and Wade Hampton 81
lis for attorney general, besides being
a potential factor in nominating Judge
Summers.
While Senator Foraker expressed his
qualification with the ticket and the re-
suits generally, he was especially graf
ified over the unanimous adoption Of
the resolution which indorsed Presi-
dent Roosevelt for nomination next
year. The platform was stated In part
as follows: We favor liberality In pen
sions, the improvement Of our relations
with the Philippines, protective tar
iff policy and opposition to all unlaw-
ful trusts.

Topeka, Kan, June 5.-The fall of
the Kaw river through the night aver
aged an inch an hour. The river is
now five feet below the highest record
ed point, but the water in the flooded
districts still averages about six feet,
and very swift current is running.
The north approach to the Melan
bridge is being covered by a pontoon,
which will make possible communica-

without the use of boats. The condi-
ton of the homeless is satisfactory,

FORESTS ABLAzE IN CANADA.

Canadian and Nova Scotian Woods
Are Full of Fire.
ST. JOHN, n. B., June 5.-Reports
from all the province indicate that
brush and forest fires are rushing
through the woods and that whole vii
lagos and communities are in the path
Of the general conflagration. At Pic
.cadilly, in Kings county, two elderly
women, Mrs. John Linden and Miss
Susan Teakles, were burned to death
oy the onrushing fire as they were en-
deavoring to liberate cattle in field.
Extensive forest fires are burning in
all parts of Nova Scotia, and hundreds
Of thousands of dollars worth of tim
ber is being destroyed. The rainfall
during last month was the lightest for
May ever known.
Forest fire has cut off the road be-
tween Hubbard's Cove and Chester
and burned the railway contractors
camp at East river, forcing the Italian
workmen to flee to Hubbard's Cove.
The little seacoast village Of Mus
quash, about thirty miles west of st.
John, N. B., was swept by forest fires
last night and early this morning, leav-
ing enly three OF four buildings stand
ing. There are 200 people homeless and
destitute, and the chief industries of
the place, Dunn Bros pork packing
factories and Knights sawmill, are in
ashes. The financial loss is more than
800 600.

1t was to be expected that some city,
offering higher salary. would sooner
or later recognize the great work
Superintendent Shull has done, and
is doing in Perth Amboy, and attempt
to draw him away. Mr.. Shull did
what everyone else would have done
under similar circumstances, endeavor
to secure his release that he might
accept. The Board of Education has
refused to grant him his release and,
as Mr.. Shull is quoted as saying he is
willing to remain, it would seem that
an increase in salary is due him. His
place could not be filed for 81, 300.

DERBY, Conn, June 5.-H. A. Long
of this city received word from the po-
lice of Providence, R. L., that his son,
George Long, sixteen years, who disap-
peared eleven months ago from his
home here, had given himself up. Since
Long left home nothing had been
heard from him until now, although
his father has spent much time and
money, aided by the police of various
cities, in search for him. Shortly
after his disappearance the boy fell
heir to the property of his GRANDPA
ther, amounting to about $4,000.

It is bad enough to have a cloudy
day without rain, but when there are
no clouds at all and still not be able
to see the sun is enough to give any
one the blues. For two days the sky
has been overcast with smoke making
the day dismal and the air disagree
able. Most of the smoke here yester-
day was carried by an east wind from
Long Island. Some of it, however,
seemed to come across Ethe bay from
the south shore and evidently origin
ated in the pines of Ocean and Allan
tic counties.

rounding country has obscured the
sun, alarming many in the farming
, sections.
Dense clouds of smoke from forest
fires now raging near Tannersville and
Haines Falls in the Catskill noun
tains have filed the streets of King
ston, N. Y, all day, completely hiding
the mountains and foothills from view.
At times it was difficult to see four
blocks away. Reports are that the
fires are the fercest ever known.
Many rumors of the destruction Of
summer homes of wealthy New York
ers at Elka Park, Tannersville and
Haines' Falls cannot be verified.
A dense smoke filed the air at Glov-
ersville, N. Y, completely obscuring
the sun. Forest fires which have been
smoldering north of this city for two
weeks have broken out afresh, and as
there is no water at hand there is no
way of fighting the flames, which are
doing much damage to timber land.
Ashes fell all day at Hoosick Falls,
N. Y, and the smoke from the forest
fires is so dense that the western por-
tion of the town is Obscured. Flames
have broken out afresh on Grafton
mountain, where they have ragged for
the last few days, after having been
extinguished last week. All the noun
famous districts in nearly every direc-
ton have fires of more or less severity.
Owing to the drought in this section
all timber lands are very dry and burn
like tinder. The flames roll with alarm
ing rapidity from one point to another
and send up huge clouds of smoke and
fine ashes, which could be seen whirl-
ing through the air at any hour yester-
day. The property loss is confined to
the burned timber.
All day heavy smoke caused by for.
est fires in the Catskills, sixty miles
away, filed the atmosphere at Fishkill
Hudson River valley. On the streets
of Newburg, N. Y, people choked, and
on the river navigation was hindered.
Advices received from all rparts of
Vermont show that the territory suf-
fering from forest fires is even larger
CQdn D6lOE6 TcpOIleu. lie ldISeoL uIS
reported is one in Dandy, where it is
said that 1000 acres of timber land
owned by S. L. Griffith, Vermont's
lumber king, has been burned over and
is sweeping over still larger tracts.
Reports of large fires in Essex county,
in the extreme northeast corner of the
state, are received: Miles of territory
have been burned over, and fires are
reported on all sides of Island Pond,
the largest village in the county.
There is no sign of rain, and the
ground is the driest ever known. Many
farmers have been forced to turn their
dairy stock into their meadows, and
not over half hay crop seems possi
BILE at present. Farmers are selling
off their live stock, as there is little
promise of sufficient feed to winter
near the usual amount of stock. Crops
that had come up have been nearly de-
stroyed by frost. The price of milk
has advanced in some places. In Bur-
lington hay is selling for $40 ton.
On Long Island the fire in the vicin-
ity of Brentwood spread east and
swept the west side of Lake Ronkon-
koma. Two buildings were destroyed.
To the westward the flames consumed
an unoccupied factory. Many other
buildings in danger were saved.

boarded off. While the corn was get
