LOOKUP
IN FIRST WARD HAS BEEN RE-
FITTED AND REFURNISHED
AS A POUND FOR PUGS.

Yesterday afternoon Policemen
Minnear and Fortney proceeded to the
old city lookup in the First ward,
which they put in order and made Sc
cure for the canine prisoners recent
ly placed upon their list for arrest.
All being ready, the next seen was
Fortney improving his newly sup
piled s'dog catcher" preparatory to
business. He then sailed forth to
test its merits, and first tried his
hand on an English pug, found on the
street without the proper credentials
But it only looked up tauntingly into
his face for moment, and then seem
ing to take in the situation, darted be-
yond his reach as much as to say, mo
you don't" He followed it about, but
with all his willy efforty, master pug
would not permit him near enough to
spring the moose over his head, and
finally retreated by an alley home
ward. Fortney seemed to enjoy the
cunning Of the dog that scored his
friends now laughing, with him over
the result A few minutes later, how
ever he tried again with better luck
on Merchant street, when he succeed
ed in capturing a "gip'' belonging to
Frazen bacher, of Morgantown ave-
nue., which he thrust into the inner
cell prepared, as the first prisoner of.
the war now in progress against
dogs.

BRYAN DECLARES
FOR Mr.. PARKER

{, present currency it Will be because
| he is restrained by the Democrats in
| the House and Senate. Nothing good
can be expected of him on the money
question.
On the trust question the Democratic
platform is very much better than the
Republican platform, but the nomina-
ton OF Judge Parker virtually nul1i-
fies the antitrust plank, unless in his
letter of acceptance he commits him
self to an attempt to pursue different
course from that pursued by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
So far as the labor questions are
concerned we must await Judge Park
er's letter before we shall know
whether the laboring man has any
the full committee planks were
adopted in favor of arbitration, the
eight-hour day and against govern
ment by injunction, also a plank on
the Colorado situation. If Judge Par
ker is silent or ambiguous on these
subjects it will mean that the finan-
cial influence back Of him will not
permit him to take labor's side on
these disputed questions.
Judge Parker stands for enough
things that are good to justify me in
giving him my vote, but, as l have
tried to point out for several months
the triumph of the Wall street ele-
ment of the party denies to the coun-
try any hope of relief on economic
questions.
I have nothing to take back. have
nothing to withdraw, of the things
that have said against the methods
pursued to advance his candidacy. II
was a plain and deliberate attempt
to deceive the party. After having
stated that : SHAH support the ticket,
and after having given my reasons for
SO doing, think it due to the Demo
Gratis of the nation to say that, while
the fight on economic questions is
postponed, it is not abandoned.
AS soon as the election is over l
shall, with the help OF those who be-
lieye as I do, undertake to organize
for the campaign of 1908, the object
being to marshal the friends OF gov
ernment within the Democratic party
TO the support of a radical and progress
sive policy, to make the Democratic
party an efficient relief from the plu-
tocratic element that controls the Re-
publican party and. for, the time being, sstz

DYNAMITER TRIES
TO CAUSE DELUGE
Attempt to Blow Up Ohio Town S
Reservoir Creates Great
Excitement.

st. Marys, Ohio, Aug. 23.-Before
daybreak today the gates at the head
of st. Marys reservoir were blown
up by dynamite. The report of the
explosion was heard for miles. Build
ings here were shaken and windows
were broken. Intense excitement pre-
walls, but every precaution has been
taken to prevent a flood. There are
many who consider the reservoir a
menace to surrounding farms.
The attempt was made at 1 o'clock
and if it had blown out the entire
bulkhead and opened the foodgates
hundreds Of lives would have been
lost as the waters of Lake Mercer
would have run out. This bulkhead is
the one thru which the Miami and
Erie canal is fed. Altho a large
amount Of dynamite was used the bank
wos not broken SO as to give way and
when the citizens were aroused the
place was watched. Bloodhounds are
with those in search Of the dynamit-
ers, but they have no clue on which
to go.
This reservoir is the largest arti-
fetal body of water in the world and
this city is lower than the water, SO
that intense excitement exists here
The shock in the morning was fol-
lowed by great scare today.

JOHNSON SAYS
HE WILL ACCEPT
Semi Official Announcement Is
Made by the Ma,nkato
Review.
Special to The Journal.


Mankato, Mimi, Aug. 23.-The
Mankato Review, democratic, makes
the following announcement:
Ex-senator John A. Johnson has de-
cided to accept the democratic nominal
ton for governor of this state if the same
is rendered to him by the convention
which meets in Minneapolis Aug. 80. Mr..
Johnson reached this decision this morn
ing, but not, however, without making \
careful survey of the situation and con-
sultation with his friends.
Since his name has been used in con-
nection with the candidacy for governor
Mr. Johnson has received encouragement
from all sections of the state and from
both democrats and republicans, a great
many coming from prominent men of the
latter party.
There can be no doubt but that Mr.
Johnson will receive the unanimous nom
nation at the state convention, and the
chances of his election are certainly very
bright, entering the campaign, as he does
with the united support of his own party
and a large faction of the republican
party. A stronger or better nomination
could not be made by the party

CONVICT'S PLEA
MAY FREE MANY
Michigan Attorney in Cell as
Burglar Prepares His Own
Appeal for Release.

Jackson, Mich, Aug. 23.-J. M.
Leonard, a university graduate and
once county attorney, who has been
serving an indeterminate sentence for
burglary at the state prison has pre-
pared his own papers of appeal to the
United States circuit court to release
him from confinement under the pro-
visions of the indeterminate sentence
law.
Leonard was sent to Jackson in
1894 to serve ten to fifteen years.
Since then q, new state law has been
enacted providing that in all cases
where offenses are committed prior to
the passage of the new law, the
minimum sentence was valid.
Leonard claims that in his case the
operation Of the law was retroactive
and that his sentence isRs therefore
wholly void. The papers in the case
presented on writ of certiorari will
be in the hands Of the proper officials
today.
On the decision will depend the inn
prisonment of many prisoners in ad-
dition to those released under the, de-
|cision Of the state supreme court.

that nothing is to be gained by re-
peating the Oregon program. The
democrats went into that state, a few.
months ago. on the same argument
which is now being used to take them
into New England and they lost by
a majority which was simply over
whelming. If they had made no fight
at all, the 10000 majority against
them in Oregon might have been exr
planned; but, in the face of the fight
that was made, it has hurt.
The Maine majorities have been
running from 5000 to $4,000. The
first figure was made in 1880, the
last in 1896. The average majority
since 1872 has been little more than
10000.
The Vermont election will come

candidate for governor is c. J. Bell
of Walden, farmer, who is said to
have the support Of the state grange.
The democratic candidate is Eli M

smallest republican majority was

Disappointing to Parker.
On account Of his frankness and
brutality, Mr.. Taggart did not receive
the glad hand at parting from judge
Parker, and the repetition Of his
views in New York city stirred uI
bitter resentment. Here is a straw
showing that there is lack of harmo-
ny in the democratic management
aside from that shown by the Muir.

cratic situation, on the whole, is MOI

Imme diately following the st. Louis
convention there was very wide
spread belief among republicans thai
the nomination of Judge Parker hac
made the result of the campaign
somewhat doubtful. AS that conven
ton recedes in point Of time, that be-
lief is overcome. Today republican,
