CANTON DELEGATION
Arrived Home From the Columbus
Convention About Midnight.

The special train which carried the
Stark county delegation to the Dem
ocratic convention left Columbus about
8 o'clock and arrived in Canton at
11:40. Welty left Columbus at $50.
In discussing the convention one
of the party spoke of several mis-
takes made which aided in Welty's
defeat. A fight was permitted in the
organization committee and the Welty
men were allowed to take control in
nominating a Columbus man against
Daugherty. This caused the field to
combine against Welty and resulted
in the disastrous defeat of the com
mittee's recommendation. The chair
man of the convention on the second
ballot delayed the announcement of
the vote to allow the counties to
change their vote and to secure the
necessary number to nominate. 1t Is
understood a majority of the votes
from Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati and
Licking were for Welty and If swung
might have resulted in stampede
for Welty.

REQ TORCH OF
REBELLION ABLAzE
IN SOUTH RUSSIA
Continued From Page One.)

today to your correspondent: unless
immediate measures are taken, Russia
will sink to its former dimensions in
Peter the Greats time. The nationalists,
socialists, Jews and Ruthenians OF Po-
land demand autonomy. They refuse
to delay. The moment is favorable to
their wishes. The Hapsburg monarchy
is falling asunder. Hungary is on the
point of separation from the dual en-
pire. Herr Schonerer, the Austrian
Germans spokesman, boldly proclaims
in the reichsrath the allegiance of his
party to the German emperor.
"Only the Slavs, Poles and Bohemi-
ans are upholding the shattered empire
of the Hapsburgs. The emperor's death
will be the signal for the country's en-
slavement by Germany. Should the
czar persevere in his despotism, 100000
600 cultivated western Slavs in Poland
and Bohemia will be found in state
to resist the yoke of the czar and the
kaiser"
Russia has lost faith in the cars
promises and is disgusted with the
duplicity of the bureaucracy. Every
whero the people are rising. Blood
flowed freely yesterday in the streets
of Warsaw, Lodz, Kiev, Riga, Odessa,
Wilma and other centers.
DEMANDS OF JAPAN.
Chicago, June 2S.-The Daily News
Toxic correspondent says:
At a meeting of the Scikukai, the
party founded by Marquis Ito, today, II
was resolved to refrain from stating
the demands that should be made of
Russia before concluding peace, but to
urge the government to insist on the
cession of territory and the payment
of an indemnity for the safeguarding
of the interests of the empire and Sc
curing of permanent peace in the far
east. 1t was also decided to recon-
mend that definite solutions of the
Manchurian and Korean question be
obtained. The progressive party, which
also met today, agreed to similar reso-
lutions.

INTO A SIG HOLE
Are Undermining Plans Made to
Dump a Saloon at Alliance.

Failing in efforts with axe and crow
bar TO tear down the White Front sa-
loon at Alliance, Ed. Beeson has re-
sorted to the law and undermining.
Through Attorney William M. Roach
he began an action in forcible detain-
or before Mayor Walker. The title of
the case is e. A. Beeson against Luther
Lindley, e. o. Jones & Co. and the
Pabsr Brewing Co. The charge is that
the defendants are forclbly and unlaw-
fully retaining possession of the prop
erty in which the saloon is located.
Wednesday morning the workmen
who have been excavating the deep
cellar in the rear of the saloon build
ing, began digging directly under the
rear of the back room, the intention
evidently being to undermine the
structure and let it drop. The main
cellar is about Is feet deep and if the
saloon is let drop into that eXcava-
tion It will be totally wrecked.
The Pabst Brewing Co. has taken
the matter up, as it holds the lease, and
sent Lindeey to Alliance to take charge
of the saloon. 1t has retained Attor-
neys Diehl & Brown Of Alliance and
c. c. Bow of Canton.

HOW wELTY LOST NOMINATION

HOW WELl1 LUST NOMlNAllO4N.
Columbus, June z3.-Canton lost the
govcrLorship, but won the attorney
general nomination as a result of to-
days work in the convention. Patti
son was nominated on the second bal
lot when it was found that Welty
could not control the delegates in his
own congressional district. Column
biana county, we'll up at the head of
the list, split its vote with Pattison on
the second ballot, and a stampede to
Pattison resulted in his nomination
Welty failed to secure the prize
through lack of proper organization
and the use of wrong subordinates to
manage the affairs.
Stark county was recognized by the
unanimous nomination of James A.
Rice for attorney general.
That Pattison Is stronger man than
was supposed was shown by his speech
after the nomination.
Mr.. Welty after the nomination took
matters philosophically by saying that
he expected more votes than he re-
ceived, but now that Pattison was the
nominee it was all right with him and
that he was in line.
The delegation leaves at p. m. for
Canton by special train.

top of the cylinder Is an empty In
verted jar.
There is your whole apparatus, n

steam of the boiling water passing up
through the cylinder extracts from the

"The male mosquito is harmless. He
never stings. 1t is the female who
does all the mischief. Male and fe-
male alike live through the winter.
after the mosquitoes egg is first
Matched, the creature that issues forth
is called wriggler. The wrIggler
lives in water, in marshy pools, in the
puddles and the ooze Of low lying
meadows. He is like a tiny snake, and
he must come to the surface to breathe.

This is u thing to wonder at 1t COM
mences with soup plate full of boiled
rice, which Is handed round In large
bowls and served with wooden ladle.
From ten to twenty dishes, all put on
the table at once, are then handed
round and some of each put into the
rice or on small plate beside the soup
plate. These dishes include fish, fowl,
meats Of various kinds. curried eggs,
fried bananas, shrimp fritters, omelet
and curry, finishing up with chutneys of
all sorts served in large round dish d.
vided into many compartments. This
concoction Is then mixed up and eaten
with spoon and fork. 1t Is followed
by beefsteak, almost raw, and fried po-
tatoes. and this, again, is succeeded by
dessert.
