PARKER IS WILLING.
Hoke Smiths Brother Declares the
Judge Would Accept.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 23.-The Democrat
ic nomination for the presidency will
not go begging if it is offered to Judge
Alton B. Parker of New York, declares
Burton Smith, brother of ex-Secretary
Hoke Smith. Mr.. Smith said:
Mr.. Parker will decline to commit
himself or ~say one word upon politics
until the Democratic convention acts.
If anyone else is nominated he will be
perfectly satisfied, possibly relieved, be-
cause his present position is one of
great dignity and thoroughly congenial
to him. On the other hand, if nominal
ted by the convention, he will deem it
is his duty to accept and will throw
the whole weight of his ability into an
aggressive, winning campaign"

large holes stove in it's sides by the ice
encountered on the. trip from San

taken The ice in Lake Erie was from
five to seven inches thick and the boat
had to be damned through 1t by main
force. Past Detroit in Crosse Pointe

ana sank on a shoaI spot. The holes
had been iammed by the ice and so
filed with it that it kept the water
out and saved the vessel from sinking

places fifteen feet thick.

ELOPERS ARE OUTWITTED.
Lover, by Mistake, Carries Sweet
hearts Father to Ground.

Pennington, Ohio. Dec. 2S.-With the
supposed form of his sweetheart in his
arms, Eddie G. Rowerly, a Baltimore
& Ohio railroad telegraph operator,
descended a ten-foot ladder from a
window at the home of James Hagerty
yesterday morning. When terra firma
was reached instead of a lovers kiss
he faced a loaded revolver in the hands
of an frAte father.
In company with Miss Dayton young
Rowerly cautiously proceeded to the
Hagerty residence, and Miss Dayton
placed a ladder to the girls window.
Young Rowerly mounted to the win
dow, and taking the form heavily
wrapped in cloak started to descend
the ladder. The prospective groom
was radiantly happy for only a short
period.
AS they reached the ground the cloak
was thrown off and the father of the
girl, with pistol in hand, stood before
the frightened lover, who took to his
heels with his companion, and nothing
has since been heard of the pair. Hag-
erty had been appraised of the scheme,
and succeeded in outwitting the plans
of the lovers.

Sheriff J. Il. Johnson, who died re-

death and also information that the
Republicans of the county would prob
ably get together in recommending
someone to succeed him.

arrived in Topeka to present his can
didacy to the governor for the place,
and at the same time G. 4. Swartz.
who is the member of the state central
committee for that judicial district,
arrived to present the candidacy of
Frank ATillard, who lives in the north
ern part of Barton county. Bunting is
said to be backed by Judge Eric Cole.
while Willard, in addition to having the
support of S.wartz, is also endorsed by
G. L. Chapman, chairman of the coun-
" central committee.
It is sale that Bunting was a dele
gate to the state convention at Wich-
tia, and was not only a firm supporter
of Bailey but also was for Harry Bone,
the governors secretary, for attorney
general.
In addition to these it is said that a
petition is being circulated in Great
