The record march of the celebrated
and much heralded dry" wave has
been followed by the influx Of new
labeled soft drinks that you never
heard of before and which are cal
culated to appease that appetite which
in so many counties must now be sal
isfied at the soda water fountain. II q
legitimate satisfaction with the dry
wave in Indiana, there have drifted
into the city a bunch of advance men
with the regulation circus methods OF
advertising new drinks galore.
Soda fountains in Richmond have
taken on the appearance of bill
board with signs hung all over the
woodwork and all about the mirror,
extolling the good qualities of this

wet up the appetite in the dry coun,
ties every day and on dry Sundays

In connection with the excavations
of the great Roman camp at Caersus.
Montgomeryshire, Professor Bosanquet
who is in charge of the exploring party
has succeeded in opening up thewest-
ern portion of the camp. unearthing a
complete hot air system situated be-
meath the floors of the rooms. The
floors were supported on number OF
stone pillars two feet square and two
feet high. Fques were laid beneath to
carry the hot air from the furnace,
and these have been found in an ex-
cellent state of preservation Outside
the huge rampant of clay the workmen
have came across trenches which
surrounded the camp. The granary
has been opened up for it's whole

Business Review of The
Past Week BY Henry Clews

Conditions in Wall street are alto
gether extraordinary. On every hand
there are signs Of recuperation, and
business is rapidly recovering ground
industry and in trade is now being fol-
lowed by a good harvest. and the ma
tons cup of good fortune appears to
be filled to the brim. This does not
mean that We have regained the activ-
ity and profits of the boom year; they
are still remote; but 1t does mean
that very substantial and wholesome
recovery has already taken place
which promises to continue for some
time to come.
The controlling factor outside of the
stock market is the crop outlook.
This is exceedingly encouraging. In
spite of the fact that July and August
are usually months of deterioration.
the prospects are for large crops OF
corn, wheat and oats. Corn and oats
promise recordbreaking yields. and

Governor of Indiana and Gov
ernor Of Ohio Spending
Spare Time at Petoskey in
Consultation.
GOVERNOR JOHNSON
IS EXPECTED SOON
When This Trinity of Demo-
cratic Leaders Get Togeth-
er, Will Presidential Cam
paign Be Fixed?

Indianapolis. Aug. 16.-People down
here are wondering what Governor
Marshall of Indiana, and Governor
Harmon Of Ohio. are talking about
while they are spending their vacation
at Petoskey, Michigan. They are there
together to stay a month, and every
body knows that In month two men
can talk great deal, especially when
they have a subject to discuss as i'm
portant as the political situation in the
United States
No one knows whether the two gov
errors are talking politics or not but
there Is not a man, woman or child in
Indiana who will venture to say that
they are not. And when Governor
johnson of Minnesota gets there and
Joins them, as 1t Is said he will in a
short time, the political discussions
will lengthen out and become even
more animated and important than
they have been thus far.
Lies Between Them.
These three men are the only demo.
cratic governors north of the Mason
and Dixon line, and 1t looks like a
cinch that one or the other of them
will be the next democratic nominee
Tor president. This may or may not
form one of the chief topics Of their
conversations in Petoskey.
Governor Johnson it will be remem-
bered was prominently mentioned as a
candidate for the democratic nOmina-
ton for president last year against
Bryan, and there were some who even
thought he had chance to win the
nomination until Bryan set his foot
down on all the aspirations except his
own and compelled the party to &C
cept him for the third defeat. Thous
ands OF democrats would have voted

tore. When Bryan was defeated the

third time Governor Johnson became a
bigger man than ever in the party, for
he had not been defeated. He is the
democratic governor Of rock ribbed
republican Minnesota He has never
told any one publicly that he will or
will not be candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination next year, but 1t is
safe to assume that his lightning rod
is pointing skyward, ready to receive
the lightning II it comes his way.
Old School Democrat.
Governor Harmon is democrat of
the old school, while Governor John
son is younger man and democrat
of the new school. You know, there are
fifty-seven varieties. Harmon is an
older hand at the political game. He
was attorney general in the cabinet Of
President Cleveland, and he stands ace
high in his party. Last year he took
the nomination for governor of Ohio
and because of a factional fight in the
republican party in Ohio he was elect.
ed This gave him a sudden prestige
that made him over into presidential
timber Immediately. 1t was at once
declared on many sides that he was
the man for the nomination. And
there are still many people who be-
lieve that he is the man for the job
Especially is this true in the south,
where Governor Marshall seems to be
held in light esteem because of the err
roneOus impression that has gone forth
to the effect that Marshall will appoint
republicans to Office. Harmon was
never known to do such a thing. and
in this respect he makes hit with
the southern democrat.
Governor Harmon has made many
sacrifices for his party. When he was
appointed by President Cleveland at
torney general he left very rich Law
practice in Cincinnati to take the posi-
ton. The cabinet job paid him only
5000 a year for the four years thai
he held it. and it is said that his Law
practice at that time was worth easil,
$4,000 a year. And even now while
governor of the state of Ohio at a sal
airy of $4,000 a year. he has had tt
give up again his law practice which
was worth more than it was when hi
became attorney general. This is an
other element that makes a good man,
persons feel hat Harmon is the ma,
for the job OF president. Like John
| son, Governor Harmon has not tolt
anybody out loud that he will seel
the nomination, but If it comes hi
way he will undoubtedly try to head
of.
| Arranged Vacation.
When Marshall and Harmon were il
| New York some months ago at a ban
quet of the national democratic clu1
where Marshall made speech the,
made an arrangement to spend thei
vacations together. That's why the.
are both at Petoskey now.
| Marshall says that he is not makin
any effort to land the nomination TO
president. Neither will he make an
effort he says. If the people want hir
for president they will nominate hif
he says, without any effort on his part

NATIONAL A. A.
LEAGUE AVERAGES
Young Organization Has a
Large Number of Very
Hard Hitters.

The batting averages of the new Ma
tionaI \. A. Leag que. organized this sea-
son by II. Claude Turner of Baltimore,
appear for the first time in The Star.
The large batting averages of the play
ers seem to show that the foul strike rule
and other handicaps to batting have not
in any way hurt the sluggers of the Ma
tionaI A. A circuit 1t is remarkable
nowadays to see more than ten men in
any league who are batting over 800,
but in the National A. A. League there
are thirty-one men who are smuggling the
ball for an average of 800 or over. This
indicates either remarkable lack OF good
pitchers or else the league has an eX-
ceptionally large number of real old-time
Sluggers.
The fielding figures are far below the
average. but the poor fielding work of
earlier in the season handicaps the aver
ages of the players. Most of them have
picked up remarkably in this respect, and
the games played by teams in this league
every evening now are fielded as cleanly
as any amateur games in the city.
Jackson of Internationals is the leading
base piferer. He has annexed six in the
two games he has played. MCGEE of
Market comes next with six thefts in five
games.
