PATHETIC PLEADINGS
Continued from page 1.)

mirals. We are nearly starving now"
Thirty per cent of those consulted
demanded peace at any cost. "The war
is useless and is losing us all our young
men," they said Let us have some one
other than the women left to till the
soil" A well known priest gave
characteristic picture of the attitude of
the people in his parish when he said
my people have ceased to believe in
the might of Russia. They expect
something worse will come than has
already originated. They openly accuse
the viceroy of the far east and the
higher of the Russian officials of per-
hitting the war to continue so that the
spirit of the Russian people may be
crushed. If this war continues terrible
disasters must inevitably occur here at
our homes"
From the government of Kherson,
Firaspol district, comes a copy of
petition to the cZar that has had wide
spread circulation. 1t reads as follows
I'VE give our heads to you, our mon
arch, we the hope of your throne and
of your ministers. Our burden is too
heavy. When we were strong you
were quiet behind us, and with you the
whole empire, but now our strength is
exhausted, our taxes are too onerous,
and we have neither land or money to
meet them. Help us. oh monarch!
Order your ministers to examine our
condition and tell the truth to you. We
knew very well the causes that have
injured the health of the state. Your
ancestors, the monarchs of our ances-
tors, listened to the voice of the peas
antry. You, too, should listen to our
cry, to the cry of our suffering souls
and exhausted bodies, Be merciful!
Relieve us OF our ignorance, of starva-
ton that tries the soul, Call our rep
resentatives and let them tell you what
we need. Let us elect them ourselves,
despite the assertion of your ministers
that we are unfit to do SO. There are
some in our midst who are as wise as
your ministers, and who would tell you
the truth. We bow to the earth and
humbly ask your majesty to hasten our
freedom, to calm our spirits and con-
science.
I'm some districts there is rioting
among the peasantry. They pillage
other peoples estates. Pardon them.
oh czar! Famine and the sight of the
suffering Of their loved ones is respon-
sible. Don't punish them. but have
your ministers give them piece of
bread and warm room to live in. and
then they will become loyal subjects.
Give them schools for their children,
and then they need not despair of to-
morrow.
rs there any father who would give
stones TO his children instead Of bread? ?

POLITICAL FIELD
IS MUCH ENLARGED
GUeERNAToRiAL CONTEST is
WAXING WARM.
The Canton Man Has Some Strong
Points over the Other Candi-
dates--Johnson' Move.

A Columbus dispatch to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says: With the formal
entry of Will S. Thomas of Springfield
into the lists and the Endorsement OF
Lawrence T. Neal and Abraham w.
Patrick by their respective counties,
Ross and Tuscarawas, the Democratic
contest for the nomination for gov
ernor takes on lively and interesting
aspect. 1t is true that the new entry
has not said that he will accept the in
dorsement of his county and make the
fight, but the character and compost
ton of the delegation chosen leaves no
doubt in the minds of political observ-
ers that If there appears an opportun-
ity to win ii will be seized.
In accepting the Endorsement of the
Tuscarawas county convention, Judge
Patrick informed his supporters that
he would be a passive rather than an
active candidate. He would place him
self in the hands of the state delegates
and would abide by their decision with
out urging their favor. In Knox county
Neal scored through receiving the in
dorsement of the convention.
In the northeastern part of the state
John c. Welty of Canton will not only
have the solid. but the enthusiastic
support of the Eighteenth district, and
it is expected that in the break the
Seventeenth and Nineteenth districts
will rally to him. Where Welty is
strong is in being the second choice of
counties and districts having candi-
oates of their own. In this he is likely
to have a rival in the person of
Thomas of Clark, whose wide acquaint-
ance makes him powerful. This he
demonstrated when elected delegate at
large to the national convention at st.
Louis last year.
A Cleveland dispatch says: Accord
ing to the best information. Mayor
Johnson has not committed himself to
the candidacy of John M. Pattison for
the governorship.
John G. Welty of Canton, who is an
outspoken candidate for the governor
ship, wants to meet Mayor Johnson and
put his case before him. He has heard
OF Pattison's audience, and he desires
the same privilege. Negotiations for a
visit are now on foot.
Johnson is waiting for some dark
horse, some outspoken advocate of mu-
nicipal ownership Il
Johnson, with the aid of Salen, will
soon select Democratic candidates for
the legislative delegation from this
county. He will chose only municipal
ownership men.

BARON KIDNAPPED
And Kept in Hiding by His Creditors,
II Is Thought.

Vienna, June IA young Hunga-
rian aristocrat, Baron Ladislaus Miske,
has suddenly disappeared from Buda-
pest and is believed by the police to
have been kidnapped and to be kept in
hiding by his creditors.
The baron's relatives were taking
measures to have the young man put
under restraint and deprived by the
court of the management of his prop
erty, owing to his extravaganza, as
during the last two years he has run
up debts amounting to $4,000.
Baron Miske was being kept under
observation by some doctors at his
fathers castle in Croatia, in order that
ii might be ascertained if he was really
weak-minded, when he escaped one
night and made his way to Budapest
Since then he has not been seen, and
may have been spirited out of the
country.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES

Arthur r. Turnbull was the choice of
Canton Democrats for mayor at the
primaries.
Mr.. Turnbull received total of 430
votes. Rhodes |. Gregory received 1913,
John McGregor 157, John f. Blake 152
and Charles l.. Oberly 146.
There was considerable interest man
ifest because of the number of candi-
dates and about 1, 100 votes were polled.
John F. Buchman, Joseph Munter,
Jr., and David S. Sommer are the nom
inees for the board of public service.
Buchanan received 759 votes, Munter
G95, Sommers 5S3 and Fred. Witter ass.
As there were no contests on the
county ticket, but little activity was
shown in that line. There are a few
vacancies on the city ticket which will
De filled by the committee.
The names of delegates to the state
convention were placed on the ballot,
and John c. Welty is now assured of
the solid support of Stark county with
out a flaw.
The following is the ticket:

HIS SWEETHEART
MARRIED ANOTHER
Which Us the Reason for the Suicide
of DR.. EIemir, an Austrian of
High Birth.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, June Hover
come with grief on the receipt of let
ter from his sweetheart in far away
Austria, that she had married another,
DR.. Szentirmay Elemir, an Austrian of
high birth, ended his life at late hour
tonight in a clump of bushes at In
spiration Point, just above the Horse
shoe Fall. With pistol clasped in his
right hand and picture of the woman
for whom he died in his left, Elemir
was found by two boys who rushed to
the spot when they heard the revolver
shot.
Elemir had evidently been in this
country but a short time. A menu
card from the steamship Finland, dated
March 10, was among his belongings,
with other letters which showed he
left his home in March. A picture of
himself dressed in equestrian garb
and mounted on horse, taken in the
courtyard in one of the Austrian pal
aces, was in his coat pocket.

WASHINGTON IS
WAITING ATTACK
FROM ADMIRAL DicklNs' "Hos.
TILE" FLEET.
The War Play Excites Considerable
lnterest-Perhaps Baltimore May
BE Objective Point.

Fortress Monroe, Va, June 11.-Up
to a late hour tonight the military
forces heer were still in the dark con-
cerning the plans of Admiral Dickins,
commanding the hostile feet. While
II is expected that he will make an at
tack upon this fertilization before day
break, it is admitted he may have
Slipped past the fort unobserved, and
is now on his way to Baltimore or
Washington.
Exactly at midnight the powerful
searchlights in Fort Monroe and Fort
Wool, in the roadstead, began sweep
ing the waters in the direction of Capes
Charles and Henry on the lookout for
the fleet. The men were stationed at
their posts at the various batteries, the
military umpires and observers placed
at points of vantage, and every prepa-
ration made for the expected attack.
Much excitement prevails among the
men, who take the manoeuvres very
seriously and who are anxious to prove
the impossibility of a hostile fleet
here.
There are 1900 additional men in
Fortress Monroe. Col. Potts. the COM
mandant here, has divided these men
among the various batteries, and they
are camped near their respective sta
tions. At 12 o'clock, when the manoeu-
vres were scheduled to begin, the call
to arms was sounded, and in less than
Is minutes after the bugle sounded in
the center of the fortin front of the
battle commanders residence, the men
were all out of their beds and at their
stations, ready to fire the big guns and
mortars. They will be kept at their
posts until morning, when they will be
relieved. From now until noon next
Saturday, when the manoeuvres ter
inmate, the batteries of the fortifica-
ton will be manned.
Should the feet not appear before
morning the inference will be that it is
on its way to either Baltimore or
Washington and that the work here
will not begin until later in the week.

SalineviIle People Do Not Know

Where They are At.
Salineville, June 1.-THE question
of who is mayor of the village is wor-
rying the village council and a refusal
of Mayor John F. Keer to tender his
resignation has complicated munich
pal matters. Upon a demand to de-
clare the Office vacant it was learned
that mayor holds his office under
the statute extending terms of village
officers from May to january 1906,
and that council does not have pow
er to declare the Office vacant only
when the officer is elected by pop
ular vote. The mayor is working in
Pennsylvania while his family re-

peace.
