is ACTING GOVERNOR
And is Doing the Position Justice Beyond the Expec-
tations of His Friends

Hon. Lo1is B. Houck will spend
Sun lay at his home in Mt. Vernon.
1t will be his first respite from
official duties since he became
secretary to the governor, with
the advent of the new state ad-
ministration. He will return to
Columbus Monday, and that even
ing he will be one of the orators
at the Mckinley Memorial exer-
cises in the hall of the house of
representatives.
Four weeks of service as acting
governor of Ohio, have won for
Hon. Lewis B. Houck ''golden
opinions from all sorts of men.
1t must be membered, too, that
this service has been rendered
under peculiarly trying conditions.
The circumstances have been such
as thoroughly to test the man.
Illness, happily not believed to be
of permanent or a material grave
nature, has prevented Governor
Pattison from visiting the execu-
tive chamber since the day he was
inaugurated. He has not been
"Incapacitated" within the mean
ing of the constitution, however, (,
and therefore the lieutenant gov
ernor has not been called upon to
! assume the office.
During all this time, Senator
Houck---or Secretary TO the Cover
nor Houck-has been representing
his chief officially. He has met
and conferred with members of
the legislature upon important
public matters of immediate con-
sequence; he has received delega-
tions visiting the governors Office
upon various errands; he has
greeted distinguished callers; he
has issued requisitions, signed
similar public papers which die
not need the personal attention al
the governor himself, and in in
Vulnerable other ways has per
formed the functions of the high
est civil official of the state.
More than that, he has with
stood the visitations, and the ap

PREHISTORIC ANIMAL
Beasts Of Burden Of To-day In Many

The study Of the remains OF extinct

other curious things, the fact that in
general the animals of the past that
survive In developed types were much
smaller than their descendants are to
day Even some OF the tremendous
saurians which look nightmares in the

dent has to look to men of the opposition
like Tillman and Bailey, the democratic
party may well take heart"
As to the standard bearers in 1908 Mr.
Mack remarked that he had no hesitation
in saying the two great leaders before
the public now were Theodore Roosevelt
republican, and William Jennings Bryan
democrat.
Bryan" said Mr.. Mack, will be our
logical candidate in 1908. In 1896 Mr..
Bryan was young, impetuous and untried.
Today he Is matured. When Bryan ran
in 1900 he polled 100000 more votes than
any other democratic candidate ever
polled.
Everybody must recognize the fact
that Bryan has been consistent. He
stands for great principles He stands
for the people against the trusts-for
democracy against plutocraey. Bryan,
like Roosevelt and like Cleveland. is
absolutely honest and fearless. For the
same reason that I was a partisan Of
Grover Cleveland when Cleveland was in
the running 1 am for w. j. Bryan. He
stands for something and the people trust
him. I believe Bryan win be nominated
and elected in 1905"

afternoon at 4 o'clock, going to Florida
by the way of Atlanta.

an Wigs.

Mrs. Wigs and all the quaint char.
acters of the Cabbage Patch delighted
theatregoers at the Jefferson theatre yes
terday afternoon and last night. Quite a
good play has been written with Mrs
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch and "Lovey
Mary to furnish the material All the
local color" has been retained, with the
result that the play is fully as diyerting
as the two famous books of Mrs Rice.
The characters on the stage are excellent
copies of the book creations and they
furnish an evening of delightful enter
tainment.
The company which supported Mrs.
Madge Carr Cook in the play last night
was capable. Mrs. Cook gave a truthful
portrayal OF the Cabbage Patch philos
opher, while Helen Lowell as Mis- Hazy
was immense. She made one of the most
ridiculous figures imaginable and easily
carried off the comedy honors, altho
Charles Carter as Mr.. Stubbins was
equally clever and made his role intensely
amusing without overriding 1t in the least.
The remaining characters, which, with
the exception of Lovey Mary are Incl
dental to the action of the play. were
satisfactorily placed Bessie Barrscale
was sweet and appealing as Loyey Mary
and a number of youngsters took part
creditably.
The play was greatly enjoyed. The
homely philosophy Of Mrs. Wigs the
pining Mis- Hazy and the little touches
of human nature that illumine the play
make 1t one that cannot but prove popu-
lar and diverting.

BOARD OF REVENUE
TAKES NO ACTION
MATTER OF ADDITION TO COURT
HOUSE COMES UP IN ADDRESS
BY E. j. sMYER, ADVOCATING
ERECTION OF AN ANNEX.

The Jefferson County Board of Revenue
met in regular monthly session yesterday,
heard e. j. Smyer president of the Title
Guarantee Loan and Trust company,
speak on the needs of an annex to
the court house. and adjourned without
taking action on the matter.
Mr.. Smyer spoke somewhat briefly,
calling the attention of the board to the
fact that it is essential that an addi-
ton to the court house be erected as
soon as possible. At the present time,
he said, the crowded condition of the
court house was most deplorable, and 1t
was difficult to conceive that such con-
ditions should exist in the largest and
most important county in the state.
"a Encouragement of the quarters of the
court house might bring about slight
Improvement in the conditions said Mr..
SINGER, but it would serve only for a
short time. The best thing to be done
now and the thing which long ago was
agreed to by the voters, of the county,
is to erect freproof annex to the
court house. The county Is growing so
rapidly that this annex ought to be
started at once, and should be made suf-
flcently large to serve for many years"
The board did not discuss the proposi-
ton in any way, but took up the rou-
tine business of auditing accounts and
passing bills for payment, adjourning
after this work had been completed
