The party is again face to face
with a similar condition of affairs.
There are the same elements at
work, with this addition. Certain
monied rascals have been detected,
exposed and punished. and these
have united their forces with the
others to compel the convention
to turn down Roosevelt and make
Senator Hanna the nominee OF the
party.
There is a general feeling
among the people that they would
like to give Senator Hanna any
thing he wants, bat they do not
want to do an injustice to Roose-
welt, and it will not be done if the
peoples wishes are carried out. II
Roosevelt is nominated he will be

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork was the advice to the
c%onsumptive so and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the c~onsumptive needs
most.

ern method of feeding fat to
the Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
cod liver oil and hypophos-
Phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

o{;nn
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Mary's Ohio, Aug. 23.-An at
tempt was made today by unknown
persons to blow up the gates at the
head of St. Mary's reservoir with
dynamite. Fortunately the charge OF
dynamite was not sufficiently large to
destroy the masonry or to displace the
heavy gates.
There has been much i'll feeling
among the people living in the vi
cinity of the reservoir, owing to the
widespread belief that the banks of
the big body of water are not safe,
Notwithstanding that the State has
spent large sums of money during the
past year in strengthening the earth
works. Had the object of the mis-
creant been attained today the town
of st. Mary's and the adjacent valley
would have been swept by a most de-
structive food, causing enormous
loss OF life and property
Although the damages are limited
mostly to broken windows in this
city; to the Wrecking of one house
near the bulkhead and one State boat
and the partial breaking of the bank,
there is great excitement here be-
cause it is feared that the attempt
may be repeated. The shock was
plainly felt at Celina at the western
end of the reservoir. a distance of ten
miles.
The charge of dynamite and nitro
glycerine was placed on the wicket
gates and d slow Iuse attached from
which there were three separate
shocks. The explosion wrecked the
upper parts of the wicket and dam
aged the stone abutments. but not to
such an extent as to liberate the
waters. Houses in the immediate
vicinity were greatly damaged and the
occupants were stunned.
The bulkhead is the outlet of Lake
Mercer into the Miami and Erie
Canal and holds back nine feet of
water covering seventeen thousand
acres of land. st. Mary's is twelve
feet lower than the lock and the loss
that would have accompanied sue
cess of the attempt is hard to
ina zine.

A VIGOROUS PROTEST.
Great Britain Kicking Over the Stop
ping of the Comedian.
(By the Associated Press. }

Durham, Natal, Aug. 23.-The cap
tain of the British steamer Comedian
has lodged a protest against the &C
ton of the Russian auxiliary cruiser
Smolensk in stopping the steamer and
examining her papers on Sunday last
off the southeast coast of Cape Colony.
London, Aug. 23.-The Foreign
Office has ordered the British Off
Gals at Durham. Natal, to make a
complete report of the circumstances
connected with the reported eXami-
nation of the papers of the British
steamer Comedian by Russian auxil-
larry cruiser off the South African
coast. If the reports should confirm
that the Smolensk was the vessel
which made the examination then a
vigorous protest will be made through
Ambassador Harding. If the
SmolenSk actually examined the
Comedians papers she, according to
the British officials, violated the
assurances given by the Russian gov
eminent that neither she nor the st.
Petersburg would be used again as
men-of-war.
