HiIlsboro Dry.

Mr.. w. B. Wheeler, ,superin-
tendent of the Ohio Antisaloon
league, said: "We have just re-
ceived word from Hillsboro that
the Probate court has set aside the
local option election and that Hills
boro is still dry. The place has
been under the operation of the
Beal law for two years. The Vets
presented petion to the council
and large part of the signers
withdrew their names. The coun-
Gil ordered the election on an in
sufficient petition and the Probate
court set aside the election, and it
stands today as if no election had
been held.
Wilkesville, in the Marietta dis
trict, voted dry little over two to
one: Stockport, in Morgan county
voted dry three to one. McCon-
nelsville, the last place in Morgan
county which has saloons, voted
today"

OhImacher Suspended His Steward

Gallipolis, o., Jan. 26.-Stew-
ard H. G. Barnes has been suspend
ed by Superintendent Ohlmacher
of the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics.
There has been considerable fric-
tion between the two officials for
several weeks and the superintend-
ent has repeatedly threatend the
action he took. Steward Barnes
will carry his case before the
trustees and the past management
of the institution will be given a
complete airing.
Barnes is supposed to have the
backing of the majority of the
board and his friends here say that
he will be vindicated. Those who
have been fighting Ohlmacher are
rejoicing at the turn affairs have
taken, because it will afford them
an opportunity to attack his man.
agement.
Ohlmacher refused to discuss
the suspension OF Staward Barnes,
and the latter is likewise silent.

HARDING
Bites Back at Boss
Cox.
NOT THE WHOLE THING.
"The People Might Have Something
to Say" Says Harding.

Not all is"quiet along the Poto-
mac" in the Republican camps.
George Cox's declaration for the
denomination of Governor Herrick
does not necessarily swing all the
Republicans of Ohio into line.
Rebellious Harding, the present
lieutenant governor, who wants to
step up place, is still willing to
devote his valuable time to the
people of Ohio.
Mr.. Harding has given out the
following interview:
"Mr. Cox's announced position
does not affect mine. This i'm
plies no under estimate of Mr..
Cox's influence in Ohio Republican
politics. But if nominations are
always to be determined by Mr..
Cox's attitude, as was Governor
Herrick's nomination in 1908, and
as it seems to be planned in 1905,
then there is no longer need of
conventions mr. discussion of can
didates.
"Mr. Cox has won his high
place in Republican councils by
hereto or Q stan d ng for
success above personal consi-
deration. If there is wisdom in
saying Governor Herrick ought
to seek the place again, that he
imperils the party strength, as the

who have urged me to be can

There is no reason for saying more
than that. If there is real SEN
timent favorable to my nomina-
tion as has been represented, the
selection of delegates will deter
mine it.
"I have not thought the situa'
tien either demanded or justified
a house-to- house scramble or the
employment of literary bureau.
| THE Republican party Is con-
fronted with the necessity OF
deciding between precedent, often
ignored before under very similar
conditions, or endangered success
at the polls. If the decision is
as to favor my nomination either
next week, next month or next
June, my friends will know L am

AstroIoger ForetoId Rising, and Says
Worse Is to Come.

The present upheaval in Russia
was foretold by Raphael, Lon
don astrologer, six months ago.
In his forecast for 1905, published
early last fall, he foreshadowtd a
revolutionary uprising in the
czar's empire, which he predicted
will continue until November of
this year.
OF the czar and of Russia he
said:
"The year 1905 will be black
one in the annals of Russian his
tory. Revolutionary movements
will increase by leaps and bounds,
! and this war, entered into with so
light heart, may turn out to be
the herald of libelty for the Rus
sian people,"
The planetary influences affect
| ing the czar are evil, he says.
His predictions for nearly every
month of the year contain propbe-
cies of direful events in Russia.
In January he says Russia is un-
der most 'malefic inffnel.ces.
For February great political up
heavals are predicted. For March
he writes:
"Russia is under a cloud, and<
at home events will occur which
! will stir the hearts and souls of
patriots and just people" In
June he says the planets are es-
pecially hostile to Russia's well
fare. September is to be the most
tragic month of all, and then not
Russia alone but other great pow
ers will suffer. "Kings and en-
perors, he prophesies, "will be
slain"

Unfair Criticism.

Governor Douglas of Massachusetts,,
who has settled the Fall River strike,
has been criticised for his efforts on
the ground that he was exceeding his
authority. Very much depends on
whose OK Is gored. When President
Roosevelt interviewed in the anthracite
coal strike he was lauded to the skies
by the very same persons who now
condemn the governor Of the old Bay
State. Consistency is rare virtue, but
what is sauce for the goose ought also
to be sauce for the gander.

trate of imperial Missouri and to have

vigorous discharge Of official duties in
another Office Already many persons
are thinking speaking and writing Of
Governor Folk as a possible president
in 1908. Far stranger things have hap
pened. To large extent he holds his
destiny In his own hands.
In his inaugural he made one sug-
gestion which has attracted much at
tention and which Is well worthy of
consideration. 1t Is this:
The state Is entitled to have each citizen
vote in order that the result OF the elec-
tions may be the just sentiment of the
people of this state 1t would seem to be
only Just that those who do not prize this
privilege enough to exercise II ought to

them political eunuchs would bring home
TO them a realization OF Its supreme value.
When corporation obtains a franchise II
is forfeited by nonuse. Apply this prin-
ciple to the privilege OF voting and 1t will
do more than anything else to remedy
the evil of civic Indifference that Is the
weakness of a republican form of govern
ment.
Does that jar you? Is there any
thing unreasonable In It? Did our
Revolutionary fathers fight and bleed
and die that we might stay at home on
election day and neglect our duties?
No. On the contrary, they fought and
bled and died that we might have an
election day, and we requite their ef-
forts and repay their sufferings In a
very shabby manner when we fail to
vote.
On the subject Of corruption Gov
ernor Folk said:
I have never known legislator to be-
come corrupt deliberately; his intentions
in the beginning are usually good. The
moral collapse generally begins through
the seductive siren songs of past masters
In the art of corruption.
The legislator who sells his vote trafflcs
in the honor of a sovereign people and
prostitutes the trust reposed In him.
There can be no offense which, II allowed
to go on. is fraught with graver conse-
quences. 1t Is more fatal to civic life than
any other crime. for IT pollutes the stream
OF law at its source.
In order to aid in the investigation of
rumors of corruption laws should be en-
acted compelling witnesses to testify as
TO their knowledge of bribery transactions
and exempting such witnesses from prose-
cution for any matters directly or indi-
rectly growing out of such testimony.
In investigating legislative corruption
1t has been my experience that the first
step a legislator takes toward bribery, as
a rule, is the acceptance of a railroad poss.
The maintenance of a professional lobby
breeds corruption and should not be per-
mittcd. Professional lobbying should be
made a crime.
These sentiments will be most heart
lily indorsed by honest men everywhere
and of all parties. People will watch
with intense interest to see If the gov
ernor can enforce his reform ideas.

A Hard Road,

Hon. Joseph l.. Bristow, ex-fourth
assistant postmaster general, has found
the reform Jordan decidedly hard
road to travel. Joe should have known
that when Republicans talk reform
their words must be taken in Pick
wickian sense-merely that and moth
ing more; but Joseph was a verdant
Kansan and thought to render himself
persona gratissima to the Republican
administration by doing stunt at
genuine reform. BY making that mis-
take he got himself bounced, which
most probably settles his senatorial
hash, as the Jayhawkers will never run
the risk of going hungry by electing to
the senate man who is frowned on by
the powers that be. The Jayhawkers
have a fine eye for pap. They propose
to have it, and they do not intend to
take any chances in losing it. Conse-
quently they will be prone to look
askance on Joseph l.. when he asks
them to place the Burton toga on his
shoulders. No doubt Mr.. Brlstow re-
calls the lines:
II so soon I am done for,
What the deuce was l begun fort
True, the president undertook to
break his fall by giving him more
lucrative job down on the isthmus

ANNEXATION OF ANlMAs CITY
LOOKS VERY FAVORABLE

The directors of the Board OF
Trade held meeting last night in
the office OF Ritter 4 Buchanan for
the purpose OF discussing the annex.
alton of Animas City to the city of
Durango. The law requires that In
cases OF annexation the council of
each town shall appoint commission.
and said commission shall get togeth-
er and agree upon the terms of con-
solidation. They shall draft an or.
dinance containing the terms agreed
upon. which ordinance shall be sub.
mitted to their respective councils,
and then the matter shall be sub.
mitted by the councils al the next
election for the voters to vote upon.

and II. j. Hechtman, attorney for
Animas City, were present. also Geo.
Weaver, acting mayor OF Durango.
Some time ago the councils each ap.
pointed committee on annexation
and the claims and ideas OF these
committees were set forth BY the at.
torneys. The board OF trade took the
matter up merely on account OF Its
interest in the welfare Of Durango
being Interested in securing the most
advantageous terms possible
After full discussion of the mat
ter the directors expressed them
selves unanimously in favor Of annex
alton.
The principal matters upon which
opinion was not settled was, whether
Animas City should become a part of
the Fourth ward. or be made "A whole
