DICK DOMINATES
OHIO REPUBLICANS
SENATOR MAINTAINS PLACE AS
STATE CHAIRMAN.
GOOD WORDS FOR THEMALL
Endorsement for Roosevelt as Well
as for Senators Who Opposed His
Policies in Last Session of Con-
gress-1ot Meeting for an off
Year.

Dayton, o., Sept 13.-ln what has
been for years the of year" in state
elections, the Ohio republicans yester
day held one of the hottest conyen.
tons in the history of the party in
This state. And still more remark
able was it for the fact that the con
test was not over the naming of the
candidates for state offices, for which
the convention had been called, but
over the selection of the chairman of
the state executive committee, i'll.
volving the state leadership of Sena-
tor Dick.
Dick won, not only on this PROPOSE
ton, but also ON the question of en-
dorsement of his work and that of
Senator Foraker in the United States
senate, many republicans of the state
having taken the position that in
view of the fact that the senators did
not entirely agree with the policy of
President Roosevelt on national leg
islation, it would be inconsistent TO
give endorsement of equal force to
both the president and the senator's.
In winning the victory over Congress
man Burton and Harry H. Gaughterly,
on these two questions, Dick retained
his chieftainship and prestige, but on
the other hand the platform in which
appeared the merchant marine and
some other planks, indicted that Bur-
ton had not been idle in other direc-
lions, for the Cleveland leaders views
were clearly imbedded in some of the
best parts of the platform. Two
points, primary voting for United
States senator's, and tariff revision,
the Cleveland delegates introduced as
a minority report. The two planks
were apparently with Burton's APP
prevail, and the convention defeated
both.
The resolution praising the presi-
dent follows:
eve most heartily approve and en-
dorse Theodore Roosevelt and his adj
ministration of public affairs. True to
the principles of the republican party
as enunciated at Chicago in 1904, he
has more than met and fulfilled our
highst expectations. His sagicity,
patriotism, commanding honesty and
courage. his lofty ideals of public duty
and of =, 'vate citizenship, have won
or him a unique place in the conf
dence and regard of the American
people. We express our renewed con-
fidence in his ability. his patriotism,
his pure and high minded devotion to
the interests of the whole people. To
him belongs the principal credit for
the beneficient laws enacted at the
last session of congress. We are
proud of his leadership and pledge
him our loyal support in the future
as in the past To carry out the
policies which mark his administra-
ton and to enable him to complete
the mission the American people en-
trusted to him two years ago, it is
imperatively necessary that he be
aided by republican congress. A
hostile house of representatives would
thwart his high aims and embar-
rass the policy to which he is COM
mitted"

SAW his OWN HEART.
A Former 0aIena Young Man Had
Heart Torn From His Breast.
lie Still Lives.

One of the most remarkable works
of surgery ever accomplished was
that done by n California surgeon
who removed the heart of young
man, washed it, placed it back and
the young man still lives.
About four weeks ago, Charley
Mccartney, a former Galena boy.
was riding on motorcycle few
miles north of Los Angeles, Calf,
when he was met by wagon which
had a large hay rake across the
back end, the rake projecting sever
al feet on each side of the vehicle.
Mccartney saw the wagon, but did
not see the rake and as he darted
pact, going at very rapid rate, the
wicked prongs of the rake caught
him in the breast, inilicting cash
six inches in length and three
inches deep, entirely severing the
heart and tearing out one OF the
ribs on the left side. When Nc
Cartney started 10 rise he saw that
his heart was going to fall from his
breast and he Immediately grab
bed the front of his shirt and wad-
ded 1t in the cash.
He was removed to the office OF
an expert surgean at Los Angeles,
where an examination of the wound
disclosed the fact that the heart had
been entirely severed and was COW
cred with gravel, as a result the un.
fortunate young man being ground
into the gravel road when he came
in contact with the rake. Knowing
that II was the only way possible TO
save the young mans life, the sur
geon removed the heart, washed
the sand off, replaced the heart and
sewed up the cash, the young man
watching the proceedings without
taking anything to null the pain,
though he must have suffered ter
rible agony. Had it not been for
the presence of mind in stufiing his
shirt into the wound, the doctor
says young Mccartney would have
died before he could have reached
the city. He was later removed TO
the home of his parents in Pasade-
ma, CAL, where he has been rapidly
improving ever since the day of the
accident. He ia now able to cit up
in bed and there is no doubt but
that he will entirely recover.-Gale-

ALTON o. BAXTER 2.
The Game Was q Pretty One,
Kfhe Weather Was
BAD.

The ball game last Sunday be-
tween Alton and Baxter was a
very pretty exhibition of ball
playing, but it was late in the
evening before the game was
called. The rain just after noon
made it apparent that if a game
was played it would be late in the
evening, but the fans were very
persistent, and after the rain was
over an enthusiastic crowd went
out to the grounds to see the
game, which by agreement, was
to be a seven-inning affair.
1t was Sis when the game was
called, and Alton went to the bat
and out in one, two, three order.
Baxter then grasped stick and
scored. In the second and third
neither side scored, but in the
fourth Baxter made another tally.
Innings five, six and seven were
of the goose egg variety on both
sides, the score being at the end
of the game two to nothing.
