For more than 100 years the Governor
of Ohio had no veto power, the present
Governor, Myron Il. Herrick, being the
first invested with the power in that
long period. The story about the way
in which the veto power was taken away
is an interesting one. Before Ohio be-
came q State the Governors salary was
paid in fees. The returns were not suffi-
cient to satisfy Gov. Sinclair. and he
asked the Territorial Legislature TO put
him on salary. Accordingly two bills
were drawn up. One of them provided
a handsome salary for the Governor, the
other abolished the fee system. The
Governor passed the salary bill. but We
tOed the one abolishing fees. 1t could
not be passed ovel, his veto and he con-
tinued to draw both salary and fees. The
next Legislature got even with ven

from the Governor entirely. Since then

the same fanatical bravery their troops
have shown in Manchuria, and the
Russians, while they fought bravely,
from all accounts do not appear to

Such terrific losses as Rojestvensky

Story of the Battle.
When Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
was at Saddle Islands, where he went
through his last coa!ing operation, he
directed the final maneuvers in the
plan Of campaign which he had adopt
ed before he left st. Petersburg.
He sent five of his Golfers and sup
ply ships to Shanghai, there to await
the result of the battle which he had
determined to precipitate, and then or
dered the remainder Of his Golfers and
supply ships to pass out between the
Liuchui Islands and FormoSa. we'll to
the eastward of Japan, and to make

With the remainder Of his feet we'll
filed with coal, his guns loaded, and
his men on duty beside their weapons,
he began the dangerous task of fore
ing the straits Of Korea. which he had
been informed Admiral Togo was hold
ing.
Admiral Togo appears to have been
quietly spinning his web for the Rus
sian fleet With foresight that can
not be too highly praised he gathered
his fleet at the one point which was
the destination Of his enemy. He did
not waste any Of his armored strength
in scouting or in attempting to cut off
auxiliaries Of the Russian force when
these auXiliaries had no fighting value.
He had under his command at the
scene Of action the entire navy Of ia
pan. He distributed his ships across
that portion Of the straits Of Korea

or captured, representing u loss of ton

largely of auXiliaries and transports,
have been dispersed, some going to
Vladivostok, others to the China coast.

BODIES STREW SHORE
NEARLY 1000 RUSSIANS PER-
iSHEO IN SEA BATTLE
Rough Estimates of the Terrible Losses
Suffered by the Cars Fleet-Battle
Was Supremacy Terrible and the Big
Victory Has Staggered Japan.

Rough estimates made of the Rus
sian losses in the battle fought in the
Sea of Japan, exclusive of nearly 1000
prisoners, vary from 1000 to 5000. 1t
is thought that the majority persisted.
Calculating the compliments of the
sunken and captured ships at upward
of 10000, this would leave 1000 men
unaccounted for. 1t is possible that
the ships which escaped rescued some
of the members of the crews of the
less fortunate ships. Many bodies
have been washed ashore on the isl
ands and on the shores of the neigh
boring coasts near the scene of the
battle.
Rear Admiral Noelkersam, who was
commander of the battleship squadron
of the Russian feet, was killed the
first day of the battle in the coming
tower of his flagship, the battleship
Osliabia, one of the vessels sunk by

A Minnesota Hero.

George Bohn, aged IA, of st. Paul,
MINI, rowed 17-mile race with death
on the Minnesota river recently to save
the life of a companion, Matthew C.
Taylor. Bohn and Taylor were on
fishing trip. While erecting a tent Tay-
lor cut himself with hunting knife.
Alone with his companion, who was
bleeding to death from a severed artery
in the leg, Bohn bound willow twig
about the limb, partly stopping the flow
of blood, placed his unconscious compan-
ion in q boat, and rowed three hours on
a dark night down the river to Fort
Smelling. Arriving early in the morning,
almost exhausted, young BOhn tied his
boat to the bank and staggered up the
bluff to the post hospital, where he Sc
cured two physicians to attend Taylor.
The latter was taken to the fort hos
pital, where the artery was tied up.

WHOLESALE PRICES GO UP.
Report of the Bureau of Labor Shows
Advance Since 1897

Advance Since 1897.
The publication of the report of the
bureau Of labor shows in a general way
that the wholesale prices of all commod-
tiles were higher in 1904 than in any
year since 1890, except 1908, when the
average of all commodities was slightly
higher than it was last year. Food pro-
ducts generally were slightly higher in
price last year than in 1903, but not as
high as in 1890 and 1891, the years i'm
mediately preceding the period of hard
times which began with the second Cleve-
land administration.
Taking as a whole the tables prepared
by the bureau show in striking way
that wholesale prices fell sharply after
1892 and rose gradually after 1897, when
the Dingley tariff law was enacted, and
advanced in percentages during the years
following 1899.
The high water mark in wholesale
prices for commodities as whole was
reached in 1903. The average was a
fraction smaller last year, when the av-
erage price was Is per cent higher than
the average from 1890 to 1899.
With the exception of 1902 the high
est wholesale price for farm products
was in 1904, when it was 26.2 per cent
above the average for the period from
1890 to 1899. The wholesale price on
food products was higher last year than
IN any year since 1891, the average be-
ing placed at 10 per cent higher than
the average of the period from 1890 to
1899.
Cloth and clothing were 9S per cent
higher last year than for the nine-year
average already referred to, and higher
than in any year since 1891. Fuel and
lighting were lower in price last year by
nearly II per cent than the year of 1903,
but still much higher than in any other
year since 1890 with the single exception
of 1903.
Wholesale prices of drugs and chem
icals were lower than any year since
1898. but still were 10 per cent higher
than the nine-year average. There was
a slight fall in the wholesale price of
house furnishings last year, but the av-
erage was III per cent above the aver
age for the period from 1890 to 1899.

Frightful Loss of Life.

What the losses sustained by the per-
sonnet total cannot be ascertained. 1t
is believed, however, that the Rus
slams have lost at least 1000 killed,
wounded and drowned. One Of their
cruisers, the Admiral Nakimhoff, it is
believed, was blown up and the 600
souls aboard were either killed or
drowned.
The daring Of the Japanese is shown
by the fact that one Of the Russian
ships the Sissoi Veliky, it is believed,
was boarded and captured, though it
afterwards sunk.
Altogether, the battle must have been
one Of the most thrilling OF any age.
There does not appear to have been
