OHIO
Senator Dick Retains the leadership
Burton viii Not Give Up the
Struqule.

The State Republican Convention
me in Dayton and nominated the fol-
lowing ticket:
Secretary of State, Carmi A. Thomp-
son, lronton.
Dairy and Food Commissioner
Renick w. Dunlap, Kingston.
Board Public Works-George H.
Watkins, Scioto county.
Commissioner of Schools-E. A.
Jones, Massillon.
1t was one of the hottest State con-
v%entions in the history of the party
in the State. The contest was not
over the naming of candidates for the
State offices for which the convention
had been called, but over the selection
of a chairman of the State executive
committee, involving the State leader
ship of United States Senator Charles
Dick.
The senator won not only on this
proposition but also on the question
of Endorsement of his work and that
of Senator Foraker in the United
States Senate.
The platform insists on a continu-
ance of a high protective tariff;
Lauds President Roosevelt for his
work;
Endorses Senators Foraker and
Dick;
Declares for laws for the better
ment of the workingman's condition;
Calls on Congress to encourage the
upbuilding of our merchant marine;
Favors a larger navy;
Calls for liberal Federal a%ppropria-
tions for the further improvement of
the Ohio river, and State a%ppropria-
tons for State canals.
The platform was adopted with
little debate. A minority report was
presented by w. Fl. Boyd of Cleve'
land demanding immediate revision of
the tariff, and containing a provis-
ion for the election of senators by
popular vote. He moved its adoption
as a substitute for the sections in the
majority report covering these sub
iectS.

GOVERNOR COBB REELECTED
Smallest Republican Majority in
Years Given to the Present
Executive.

Governor William T. Cobb of Oak
land (Rep.), standing on a platform
devoted almost exclusively to a con-
%tinuance of the prohibitory law of the
State, vas reelected by a plurality
of less than 5000, with but few ex.
ceptions the smallest margin OF votes
ever given a Republican Governor in
the State Of Maine.
Cyrus w. Davis of Waterville, the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
polled one of the largest votes in the
history of the party in this State. His
issue in the campaign was the resub.
mission of the liquor question, which
was incorporated in the State Legis-
lature four years ago.
More interesting from a certain
standpoint was the reelection of Con-
gresham Charles e. Littlefeld, Re,
publican, of the Second district, by a
greatly reduced plurality. Congress
man Littlefeld's candidacy was the
subject of bitter opposition on the
part Of Samuel Gompers, President
of the American Federation of Labor,
who asked for his defeat on the
grounds that he had voted against
certain labor measures at the last
session of Congress.
The issue between Gompers and
Littlefleld was taken up by the Repub,
lican Congressional Committee, and
for ih""o weeks the district has been
the scene of a hard fight, in which
Secretary of War William II. Taft,
Senator Beveridge and several Con
gressmen were pitted against the head
of the Federation of Labor. Mr..
Littlefield's plurality was estimated
at about 1000. Congressman Edwin
C. Burlelgh, Republican, was r%e-elect
ed in the Third district by an esti-
mated plurality Of 1000, and Con
gresham Llewellyn Powers of Houl
ton, Republican. in the Fourth dist
riot by a plurality estimated at 1000
The Legislature will be Republican
by a safe margin.

CHURCH FUNDS TIED UP
Presbyterian Boards Will Probably
Lose $40.

According to a statement Of the
Stated Clerk of the General Assemb-
ly, the Rev. DR.. William H. Roberts,
the various agencies of the P~resbyter-
ian Church have $4,000 tied up
through the wrecking of the Real Es-
tate Trust Company, of Philadelphia.
There is a probable loss of 100000
of the funds of the Trustees of the
General Assembly, of which Frank X.
Nipple was treasurer. The current
funds of the various agencies of the
church amounted to $1,000 0O. They
belonged to the Board Of Relief, the
Trustees of the Board of Publication
and Sunday School Work, the Trus-
tees of the General Assembly and the
Women's Foreign Missionary Society.
DR.. Roberts stated that he believed
the deposits would be fully paid back
within a short time. The 100000 dis
crepancy in the trust funds Of the
trustees of the General Assembly will
be the only loss in that case He did
not say whether he expected the de-
posits would be paid by the trust com
pany or made good by outside per-
sons.

WOMAN WITH A RECORD
Old But Still Full of Fight Against
Revenue Officers,

After walking eight miles through
the mountains back of Cliff Top, w.
Va, United States Deputy Marshall
Dan Cunningham arrested Mrs. Ma
linda Shrewsbury, whose age is be-
yond the grasp of her memory, but
who must be near the century mark.
She was charged with distilling moon
shine liquor and retailing it at coun-
try fairs, dances and picnics.
When the revenue officers discov-
cred the cabin tucked away in a
thicket Of laurels on the mountain
side he walked in prepared for trou-
BILE. and it is fortunate he did SO.
The aged woman moonshiner was
working lea the kitchen table, above
which swung an old-fashioned rifle,
which she grabbed for. She was not
quick enough, however, to outwit the
officer, who knocked the weapon
away before she could use 1t. She
attempted to shout a warning to her
two sons, but was gagged and bound,
and placed on a box. The officer
waited until noon the next day for the
boys, who failed to turn up. Mrs.
Shrewsbury stated that she had been
arrested three times-twice in the
mountains of Tennessee and once in
the West Virginia mountains. The
officers making her arrest were killed
every time, once by her own hands
and twice by her husband and sons,
all of whom, with the exception of
two, have been killed later in moon
sinner battles.

TRADE STILL ON INcREAoe
End Of Vacation Season Restores
Normal Forces-No Important
Labor Troubles.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly Review
Of Trade" says:
Volume of trade continues beyond
precedent for the period, the end of
the vacation season restoring normal
forces in most occupations, and there
are no important labor struggles to
handicap progress Autumn distribu-
'tion Is very heavy, traders as a rule
preparing for needs well into the fu-
ture, while mercantile collections are
quite as prompt as could be expected
in view of the tight money market.
There is some uncertainty in pri-
mary markets for cotton goods, owing
to the expectation of lower prices in
response to cheaper raw material, but
as yet no concessions are offered. De-
mand for wooden fabrics Is also some
what irregular, although fancy worst
eds are withdrawn because of the
well-sold condition, and other leading
industries report great activity and
strength.
Prices of commodities rose during
August in the aggregate, dairy and
garden products supplying most of the
advance, Dun's index number on Sep
TENDER 1 being s104, 2S7, against $l02,-
9S5 a month previous. Compared with
the position a year ago the advance is
4 per cent. Railway earnings for the
first week of September exceeded the
figures of 1905 by 10 per cent Tex
tile fabrics continue in the position of
uncertainty that has prevailed for
some weeks.
Footwear manufacturers in New
England report a healthy tone in
spring business, Western wholesalers
buying freely and large retailers who
buy direct are operating extensively
for next seasons styles.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States, as reported by r.
G. Dun & Co., are ia, against 1873
last week, 10 the preceding week,
and 1914 the corresponding week last
year. Failures in Canada number 26,
against 8 last week, IA the preceding
week and 20 last year.

BLEW UP SCHOOL HOUSE
Reprobate Boys Make Attempt to
Lenathen Vacation.

The boys at the Prospect Hill
School, two miles from Newton, Pa,
blew up the schoolhouse with dyna-
mite. The building was badly dam
aged, but temporary quarters were Sc
cured for the pupils, and the term was
opened despite the mischievousness
of the youths.
The boys made a request to the
School Board some time ago for a
longer vacation. This was refused,
and they decided to burn the school
house. The idea later came to blow
up the structure. The explosion shook
the little settlement of Prospect Hill,
and the volunteer fire department was
called out to extingu.sh the flames
which followed the explosion. The
youths made no denial of their guilt.
