FOLEY CAPTURED
One of the Prisoners Who Escaped
from Jail.

James Foley one of the three priso-
ners who escaped from the Wood
county Jail about two months since is
again boarding with the Wood county
Sheriff, and Sheriff Roach is much
pleased thereat.
Foley, who probably furnished the
brains that helped the bunch escape,
was taken in by detectives IN recent
capture at the Enright saloon in To
ledo, in which a noted crook was
pinched. Foley is the man who was
reported by the Toledo papers as hav-
ing said to the bar tender-"Gim me
the gads" and was handed two big
guns which he was about to turn loose
on the officers when he was unexpect-
edly nabbed by an officer whom he was
not expecting on the scene.
The Toledo police gave Sheriff
Roach an opportunity to see the pris-
oner and he was later identified and
brought to Bowling Green by Deputy
Shoecraft, where he awaits trial.
When captured in Toledo he gave
the name of Jimmy Scraggs, but he is
known as Jimmy Sullivan, alias Muir
ply, alias Foley, and no one knows
how many other names he has used.

MOST A CENTURY
Michael McGovern Dies at the Age
of 96 Years.

Michael McGovern, Perrysburg's
oldest citizen, passed away at his
home here on Tuesday evening, Janu-
ary 8, 1907, at the advanced age of 90
years and months.
Mr.. McGovern was born in Ireland
and came to this country when a
young man and has been well known
and highly respected citizen.
He raised family of six children
only one Miss Mary McGovern sur
viving him, the wife and mother, with
five children having died about twenty
years ago.
He has been in poor health for some
time which with his extreme age has
made him practically helpless and de-
pendent upon the care and attention
of his daughter who had devoted her
life to him.
His funeral services were conducted
at the st. Rose of Lima catholic
church of which he was member, by
Rev. J. III. Kleekamp, and the remains
were inferred in Ft. Meigs cemetery,
on January 10th.
He lived an honorable life and many
friends will long remember him with
deep respect, and extend to his re-
naming child, the daughter who gave
so much of her life to his care, their
deep sympathy and admiration for her
devotion to her aged parent.

WILL 1T BE TAFT?


Secretary Taft has made political
announcement that clears the atmos-
phere a good deal. He has been
"pestered" a good deal of late to de-
clare his intentions about the Presi-
dental nomination. He has come
out plainly and said that he is not a
clamorous candidate, but that if the
Office comes to him, he will not turn
it down. This is tantamount to a
declaration that he is a candidate, No
sensible man is going to either de-
cline or accept something that has
not been offered him, and it would
therefore be in bad taste for Secretary
Taft to declare himself candidate
There is still fresh in the memory of
the public an estimable and innocent
admiral who made that sort of an an
nouncement.
Also it is only plain speaking for
Mr., Taft to say that he is not going
to run if he sees the nomination head
ing his way. There is no case on
record of man declining a nomina-
tion for the presidency when it was
offered him in good faith by re-
sponsible party, and it is not the
habit of Mr.. Taft to side step and
make motions on the score of shy
ness. The question is settled on his
own say, 80 that he is available as a
candidate. 1t is known also that he
is the choice of President Roosevelt
as his successor in office, There is
just possibility that the President
might have selected Secretary Root
for the place if he could haye had his
way, but that is one man who while
he might make a good candidate, has
said in private, but emphatically, that
he does not want the job, and he
would have to be thrown down and
hobbled if it were forced on him.
So the situation is tolerably plain
President Roosevelt is about going to
dictate the next nomination, that is
unless there should be wave of pop
ular clamor that would sweep him of
his feet and drive him into taking a
third term. He does not want this
but he does want man In Office
with whom he is in hearty accord
and who he thinks would carry out
many of his own ideas. Secretary
Taft is that man. The confidence ol
the President in him has been dem
onstrated too often to need recount
ing. He says practically that he il
willing to be candidate. 1t is there
fore as good as assured that he viii
get the nomination. There is als'
little question that the nomination o
the Republican party will mean thu
election. Many things can happel
between now and the next election
but it is not likely that anything will
happen to shake the faith of tn
} country in the Republican party a
the one of sanity and honesty, tn
one under which prosperity has come
and under which it will stay. So tn,
election of Secretary Taft to the mex
term in the White House may be con
fidently expected, barring always tn
accident of public insistance afore
said which may force another term Of
the present incumbent whether h
, will or not
