Scarcely less interesting than his
hunting trip in Africa, and at times
almost as exciting, were the adven-
lures Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt in
Europe. There he desired to be treat
ed as a man of letters and science,
rather than as sportsman, and his
desire was gratifed. But in addition,
Europe insisted on receiving him as
the most distinguished American of
the time, and everywhere he went

public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him in
and marveled at the wide scope of his
knowledge.
The event connected with Mr..
Roosevelt's European tour that
aroused the most interest and excite

arrival in Italy early in April. Before
he left Africa his desire to pay his
respects to the pope had been con-

father had intimated that he would be

LABOR MARKET CROWDED
Farm Hands Not Much in Demand
r Owing to Inclemenoy of Weather

Cleveland, o.--With the advent of
the summer months the demand
for laborers for farms and con-
struction companies has been increas-
ing slowly, but is not in keeping with
the demand of former years about this
time, while supply of applicants is
continually increasing. The trouble
is due, say employment authorities, to
the inclemency of the weather and the
heavy amount of rainfall during the
past few weeks, as far as the farmer
is concerned. With the closing of the
academic year in the colleges and
high schools, number of young men

plications from college men," said
Fred Lange, superintendent of the
state free employment bureau, Mon

RUM WILL BE BIG ISSUE
Leaders of Both Dominant Parties At
tempt to Put Whisky Question
Far in the Background.

Columbus, O.-Whisky is to be
tive campaign. The liquor question
seemingly cannot be showed aside de-
spite the almost desperate efforts of
the leaders of both dominant parties
to put it far in the background
Whisky was the determining factor in
four senatorial conventions last week
where candidates for the next assem-
bly, were nominated. Democratic state
leaders have been startled by informa.
tion that an effort was to be made to
have the state convention include
personal liberty declaration in the
Democratic platform. The proposition
to have the state convention make any
declaration that could be used in
campaign against the Rose county
local option law has sent shivers
along the spine of the party heads
from Governor Harmon down. Strenu-
GUS efforts are being made to smother
every movement.
The issue of whisky may be kept
out of the state convention, and prob.
ably will be, but already it has en-
tered the legislative campaign in a
manner that promises greatly to COM
plicate the contest for control of the
next assembly upon which hinges a
seat in the United States senate. Be-
hind it all is a highly organized and
well financed campaign on the part of
the liberal interests to capture the
next assembly, no matter what else
| happens.

MINERS DROP PICKS
twenty-five Hundred Go on Strike
Near Canton When Operators
Refuse to Sign Scale.

Canton, o. The miners strike
has begun in the north end of
subdistrict No. 5 except in cases
where the operators have signed the
scale. Work has been suspended in
all other mines of this district and it
is estimated that $500 men are idle.
This strike was brought about by the
failure of the joint scale committee of
miners and operators to come to an
agreement in Canton last week. The
miners gave up the plan to sign the
operators up in body, but allowed
them to come to their terms as indi.
viduals if they wished to operate their
mines.
