Trouble in GAINESVILLE

Zanesville, O., Oct. 1S.-As q
climax to the bitter war which
has been waged between the saloon
and anti-saloon interests here for
several months, the furniture fac.
tory and the home of Daniel B.
Gary, president of the Civic
league, were dynamited ear y to-
day.
Carefully laid plans to kill Mr..
Gary and his family failed, how
ever.
The entire city was aroused at
, O'Clock this morning by terrific
report. People flocked in the
streets to learn the cause of it, and
soon great crowds gathered at the
GAINESVILLE Furniture company's 8
plant, where the explosion oc.
Cured.
The plant, a three story brick
structure. was partly wreck,
every pane of glass in the building
being broken.
William Flowers, night watch
man of the plant, who was in the
front part of the building at the
time, was knocked down by the
concussion, but was not seriously
injured.
Mr.. Gary was notified of the ex.
plosion and hurried to the factory,
remaining until o'clock, when he
returned to his home with his
wife and daughter Mary and again
retired.
They had just gotten into a pro-
found sleep when they were
thrown violently from their beds
by second explosion. A charge
of dynamite had been exploded in
the foundation of the resi- dence.
Mr.. Gary and family escaped
injury and perhaps death only
through the fact that they slept in
the front part of the house.
With the second explosion the
authorities redoubled their vigi-
lance and so far have failed to
trace any of the dynamiters.
The entire city ia in turmoil.
Although the saloon interests deny
any responsibility for the out
RACES this morning, public senti-
ment is against them, and the po.
lice expect to m axe a number of
arrests during the day.

To Observe Thanksgiving

COLUMBUS. o, Oct. IA j. W.
Zeller, state school commissioner,
will ask the public schools of Ohio
to observe Thanksgiving in spe.
cial way this year.
He has already prepared a pro
gram that he will send out and
will urge the heads of the schools
to follow it closely in the celebra-
tion of the day. This is the first
time in the history of the state
that a program has been prepared
for Thanksgiving by the state de-
partment. They will be sent cut
far enough in advance for the
scholars to learn the special work
thoroughly.

Harmon Alone.

The Democrats of the Boys In

ing of Governor Harmon's picture
in the large mems smoking room a
night lest week. 1t is the only
picture of Democrat in the room,
hanging beside that of Roosevelt
and other Republicans.
Prof, o. G. Lsrason, superin-
tendent Of the schools, made the
address of the evening. 1t was
non partisan and we'll received.
Mr.. Larason was on the ticket
with Governor Harmon last year,
being a candidate for clerk of the
supreme court. He reviewed the
splendid record of Governor Har

election promises.
He said in nart: "GovernOr

Don't Be a Game Hog

With the coming of the autumn,
the hunting season begins, and
soon the huntsmen and the hounds
will be abroad in the land-and
more's the pity, the game hog will
be again with US.
The game hog, the man who
hunts not for the love of sport, but
that he may take advantage of
every opportunity to kill whatso-
ever he may encounter, regardless
of the laws prohibiting the killing
of game of certain kinds, is nui-
sance, and his practices are heart
lily condemned by every true
sportsman.
The game laws are made in or
der that all the game may not be
killed off in few seasons. They
are Of greater benefit probably to
the sportsmen of the state than to
any other class of people, and the
sportsmen should exert their ef-
forts to see that they are obeyed.
1t is pretty hard to obey the laws
strictly at all times. There is h
temptation to disregard them
when particularly fine specimen
of prohibited game crosses the
path but it is only by the obser-
vance of the laws that any game
whatsoever will be preserved for
the years to come.
No, don't be game hog, and
don't permit anyone else to be a
game hog If you can prevent it,

Balloonine, a Perilous Sport,

Last Saturday afternoon six men
sailed forth from Pasadena, Cal, in a
great gas balloon. and up to the present
time all traces Of them have been lost.
1t is feared that they have persisted in
the Sierra Madre mountains. toward
which they were Immediately blown
after the ascent, and where a heavy
blizzard has since prevailed. 1t seems
incredible that they should have sur
vived the low temperature in the noun
tain tops, even IL they have not been
killed by being dashed to the rocks.
This disaster. assuming that the bal
loonists have lost their lives, directs at
tention to the folly of further expert
ments with unsteerable gas bags. Bal
looming is not today practical pur-
suit. 1t Is sport, and a highly dan
gerous one at that Save in the mill
tary service. where the captive balloon
may still be regarded as an important
part Of the equipment. there is no pos
sible use for the inflated sphere which
rises only to be the prey of the wind
currents.
There is some sense In dirigible bal
looming. 1t is in the line Of scientific
development. Out of the Siderable gas
bag experiments of. Santos Dumont and
similar experiments in this country by
numerous workers in the same line has
come new science or air navigation,
which in turn has been rendered oh
solescent by the air planes of the

The Whitla Kidnaping.

Every father and mother in the United
States will rejoice with the parents of
Willie Whitla over his recovery from
the kidnapers who stole him for a ran
som. At the same time all will feel that
a premium has been put upon child steal
ing by the success of this criminal enter
prise. unless the men and women en-
gagged in 1t are captured and punished.
Whitla worked independently of the po-
lice, SO far as is now known, in order to
recover his boy. being perfectly willing to
spend the money demanded provided he
regained possession of the child. 1t is
yet to be ascertained whether the trail of
the kidnapers has been sufficiently COW
cred to battle the police I'm their efforts to
follow them. Whitla will be expected to
lend himself to the work of pursuit and
prosecution, even though he may feel
morally bound to remain quiet after en-
gaging In bargain with the criminals.
No pledge that he gave under duress of
threats of the boys death can be regard
ed now as binding him to iDaction, when
the interests of American parents demand
the capture of the kidnapers.
1t appears from the boys story that his
captors were not particularly careful
about keeping him hidden. They took
him in open carriages, in cars and afoot
over considerable distances and must
have relied upon the lack Of strongly
marked features in the child's appearance
to avoid suspicion. The youngster was
seemingly kept In good spirits and was
willing to go from place to place with
the man who first took him from his
school. He sings the praises Of the kid
naper in terms that suggest that the
man knew boy nature and gave him
whatever he wished to entertain and
please him. The conception of the child
| imprisoned in a dark cellar, or a lonely
hut in the woods, or a cave or deserted
| house thus fades as a fancy without JUS
| LITIGATION. There was nothing romantic
about the kidnapping. 1t was just well
planned business enterprise, worked to a
successful conclusion, SO successful in
deed that unless the law promptly reaches
the principals and Furnishes them they
will be followed by many imitators, lured
by the prospect Of easy profits.

of his trips, he said in reply to an ex.

him as against his critics:
Never be disturbed by criticism
Think how 1 am criticised. During
twenty years of my reign the people
have been finding fault with me. Among
the sixty million Germans there are
seventy million opinions.
If 1 were to leave Germany some day
and go to the other end of the WORLD
Germans would perhaps be surprised
and ask pardon for many things"
Or. put more strongly. If the kaise,
were to die tomorrow he would be pro

The aeronauts who trust their lives to
the old style balloons are taking gam

especially from points near the ocean.
1t may be attractive to them to seek to
break long distance flight records, but
even when they do establish such new

that draw crowds by their possibilities

will take these congressional experts to
talk themselves out cannot be foretold.
but during the interval. long or short, the
business world must hold it's soul in pa

that there are reasons for believing the
strain can be endured with comparative
fortitude.
Some OF the signs are distinctly
good. Few securities of the wildcat vari-

unusually large percentage of the pur-
chases made there have been set down
