The Columbus Evening Republican of Tuesday says: "We are authorized to announce that Hugh T. Miller of Columbus, is a candidate for the Republican nom ination for Governor. Mr. Miller was born forty years ago on a farm; sixteen miles northeast of Columbus, in Nineveh township, Johnsont county. His father, John C. Miller, who was a well-known minister of , the Christian church, and his mother are both dead. He was married in 1900 to Nettie1 Irwin Sweeney, of Columbus, and has one child a daughter. "He was reared on a farm and received his early education there, completing it at Butler college where h was graduated irt 188S. Beginning in 18S0 he taught at Butler for ten years excepting in 1892 and 1893, when he was studying on leave of absence in Paris and Berlin". His worlj was in French and German, but after returning fromi Europe he was given the department of history. Resigning his chair in 1899, he went to Columbus to take a position in Irwin's Bank, of v.-hich institution he is now vlce-pre.-dent. He is also secretary and treasurer of the Columbus & Southern Traction Company, and has been associated with the Irwins with the reopening and running of the starch p'ant at Edinburg, which was closed by he trust several years ago. How Good Things Might Be. If all the men at the head of corporations, big and little, would just make up their minds to adhere closely and strictly to fair play and the square deal in thgir business operations, the next four or five years could be maxie the best, most satisfying am! most prosperous in the history of this singularly blessed land. The conditions, as clearly and pleasingly stated by Melville E. Ingalls, are altogether favorable. Nature has been lavish in her bounties. The public health is good. Demand for commodities continues to be great. Labor is fully employed at renumerative wages. All we need now is an honest exemplification of fair play and a square deal. Fairness and justice between man and man. And why should not this be the inviolable rule? There is plenty to go roun'd. None need suffer. South B.end Times. r Baptists To B6 United. . The union of the Free Baptists of the United States- with the regular Baptist church will probably be com pleted at the 33d general conference pf tht former organization, which be gan at Cleveland, Ohio Tuesday. The Bapist church has already voted in favor of the union. There are 80,000 Free Baptists, and 1,800,000 Baptists in the United States. The main difference between the churches was over slavery, the Free Baptists howling slavery a sin. This issue hasf disappeared, although the separate organizations have' continu ed since the Civil war destroyed the issue. About as Close; as It Ever Comes. Am unreliable newspaper published somewhere in Marshall county stated last week that there were only;7 survivors of the 9th Irtdiana regiment liv.ng. This statement is absolutely false as there are ten living in this county as follows: Washington Kelley, lieutenant Lu ther Johnson, John G. Leonard, Da vid Thomas, Jesse Williams, Nelson Bailey, Geoige Dawson, Charles L. Andrews, Mose Richards, and Jones Grant.

Guards Fire on Cuban Outlaws. The small band of rebels which had been traversing the country in

the vicinity of Mayari, in the north ern section of Santiago province, has, according to late dispatches again exchanged shots with the pursuing rurales. The latter are close on the heels of the bandits. While there are signs of unrest in various parts of the island, the opinion prevails here that no serious disturbance is likely. In commenting on the situation, the Diario de la Marina says: "A combination of unpleasant circumstances having no link one with the other appears to make the situation at first sight more serious than it really is. Each one of the problems that at present confront the administrationthe yellow fever epidemic, the conspiracy of Parra, Miret and Ducassi, the existence of bands of outlaws' in the country and the railway strike is of an alarming character, but .except for the,tendency of Hhxf vtrfk? to becomes general and stop railway communication through out the island, these events are of no greater importance in themselves. "The conspiracy was a very ridiculous one, and even if it had succeeded in inducing some fools to take the field it would have been nipped in the bud. The Mayari band of outlaws can not be considered of more importance than many other previous bands of guerrillas who have occasionally appeared in Cuba. Ther is no reason, therefore, for extraordinary alarm, or for believing Cuba is on the brink of an abyss." Goternor Magoon has determined to deal with outlaws and insurrectionists with a strong hand. The orders of the rurales, it is stated, are to capture, kill or drive them into the ocean. Norsemen Would Lift Cup. The Swedish Yacht club has sent an inquiry to the New York Yacht club as to whether a Swedish chal lenge for the American cup would be accepted. The prospective chal lengers are William Olsson, a mil lionaire marchant, and M. Myhlberger, a banker, whose yacht, Santoy has won several races. V The Royal Swedish Yacht club is one of the largest in the world, hav ing 2,000 members and 600 boats. The honorary president is King Os car, and among the members are Prince Wilhelm, Crown Prince Gustav, and Admiral Prince Oscar Bernadette. The club recently celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary. During the last decade a number of Swedish designers' have built boats, but their efforts have been directed principally to small craft Their products, however, have out pointed many boats purchased in the United States. In response to the Royal Swedish Yacht club's inquiry if a challenge for the American cup would be ae ccpled from that organization, Sec retary George Cormack of the New York Yacht club sent a copy of the deed of gift and a copy of the club's recently adopted resolution, which stated clearly the interpretation put on the deed by the New York Yacht club. According to this deed the Royal Swedish Yacht club can challenge, and there is not the slightest doubt that the members of the New York Yacht club would be pleased to have a challenge from that organization The challenge,, however, must meet a yacht nrrtety feet on the water line, and one that has: been built for speed without any restrictions. Oklahoma Will Come In. Nobody will be surprised at the report which comes from Washing ton that President Roosevelt will ac cept the Oklahoma constitution and proclaim her admission to statehood. Nobody had any right to think that he would do otherwise. The consti tution has many absurdities and lun acies. It is just the sort of a document which the country had a right to expect when it read of the election of that nine-tenths Democratic ma jority of constitution framers. Necessarily and inevitably a charter shaped by that round-up of Democratic incompetents at Guthrie would be fearfully and wonderfully put to gether. But the twin territories have near ly 1.500,000 of people. They have railways, schools, churches, newspa pers an'd all the rest of the accom paniments of a modern community More people are theie than? were in any four other territories when they were let in as; slates. Oklahoma has half as many people as the entire United States' had at the time that Washincvn was first inaugurated as presid':i It has as much population as the whole of the thirteen Brit ish colonies had on the day that Washington was- born. Physically i has all the qualifications! for state hood which have ever been enumer attd by anybody as' requisites for ad mission. As a large majority of the people of Oklahoma have voted to accert the constitution, with all its follies, fhe president feels that he ought to let them have it, and he wil do thii with a good deal of readiness. Globe-Democrat. Murder Mystery Solved. Verest Lager Goold, whose father was an Irish magistrate, and whose brother, Sir James Stephen Goold lives in South Australia, where he works as a laborer on a railroad, has written to the judge at Monte Carlo, Irfd., confessing that he and his wife Violet, murdered Emma Levin, the Swedish woman whose dismembered body was. found in the baggage of the Goolds on their arrival August 6, at Marseilles, from Monte Carlo. Goold said the crime was planned by him self and wife. Being at the end o their resource? they resolved to rob the woman, inrending only to knock her into insensibility and take her money and jewels! but the woman screamed, whereupon she was killed

Home of Gray's Elegy i9 Offered

For Sale, Stoke House, Buckingham, Eng land, where the Poet Gray lived and wrote his famous "Elegy," is to be offered for sale next month, and sharp competition for it is expected. The estate has many historic associ ations, dating back prior to the reign of Edward III, when Amicia de Stoke brought the property by marriage to Robert Poges. It descended in female line to Hastings Earl Huntingdon, who rebuilt the house in Queen Elizebeth's time, when Sir Christopher Hatton, the queen's chancellor, lived there. Only a frag ment of this old house remains, the presnt mansion having been built in 1739. It is asserted that Gray, when at college, was accustomed to spend his vacation with relatives residing there. At that time it was known as West End Cottage. Eventually it became his permanent homeland no doubt he-,yas;jnspired by itsbeautiful surroundings when he composed his im mortal "Elegy." Close to Stoke House is Stoke Poges Churc!i, celebrated as the place indicated in the churchyard's elegy. It i& situated oil a wooden eminence overlooking Windsor Castle, Eton College and the Thames Valley, Many visitors, both English and American, come to worship at the shrine of Gray and woe betide the person unable to recite the "Elegy." Just outsu'de the churchyard is a mon ument in the shape of a sarcophagus containing on each face a few lines from the "Elegy" or some other of his poems, erected bv lohn Penn. In this same neighborhood, Wil liam Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, lies at rest in a small inclosure called "Jordan's Burial Ground," used by the -Quakers for their dead. Ameri cans naturally feel an intense rever ence for this tiny God's acre and many are the visits from across the Atlantic to this secluded spot on the fringe of Chiltern's Hills, by descendants of the followers of the man who set up, in the Seventeenth century, a colony from which was destined to rise the State of Pennsylvania. Permission was sought by the state many years ago to remove the body of William Penn to America, but the applicatio ful. was not successSpain Fears Exodust The Spanish Government, alarmed at the increasing emigration of Spanish laborers, has entered upon a rigorous campaign to put a stop to the exodus and is directing especial efforts to prevent laborers going to Panama to work on the canal. The Government claims to possess proof that the laborers are grossly deceived by the recruiting agents of the canal, and that upon their arrival at Panama they arc compelled to live and work under the most atrocious conditions. The complaints, however, are plainly traceable to the Spanish landlords who find their workmen deserting under the prospect of better wages abroad. Within' the last two years thousands of Spaniards have gone to the isthmus1. Since the advent of, the Maura Cabinet the Government has been especially active. Senor Cieova, the minister of the interior, has drafted a most rigorous law to restrict emigration and will present it for the approval of the Cortes when it assembles' next month. Although it ostensibly recognizes the right of a Spanish subject to emigrate, it absolutely prohibits the departure of Spaniards subject to military duty and requiring the express permission of the Department of Immigration, which the law created for those desiring to go abroad for the purpose of colonization. Moreover it reserves to the Government the right, "for reasons affecting public good, public healthy or unusual risks which intending emigrants may incur," to entirely prohibit "temporarily," all emigration to "certain countries or sections." It also contains another clause aimed directly, at canal emigration, nmely, voiding all contracts in which the transportation in the case of the canal laborers: is to be repaid by labor. The conditions and restrictions it proposes to impose upon the steamship companies are almost prohibitive. Two Killed at Columbia City. Two men, brothers-in-law, met a tragic death on the evening of Sept. 26, in Columbia City, being struck by a Pennsylvania railroad train at a crossing. Ed. Robinson, former proprietor of a Columiba City restaurant, and F. E. Depew, Democratic candidate for county assessor last year, were the victims. They were driving home at the time and it is thought that the noise made by a load of fowls on thdr wagon prevented the men hearing the train's approach, Depew's body was carried on the pilot some 200 feet east of the crossing, while Robinson was hurled 50 feet in the same direction, along the embankment, and never moved after striking the ground. Pay Tribute to Washington. A large delegation of the Polish National Alliance of the United States, which has been in annual cot.vention at Baltimore, Md., Thursdi laid a floral tribute at the foot of the statute of Washington in the pla::a east of the capitol and placed a wreath before the busts of Kosciusko and Pulaski, the Polish patriots, in the capitol building. Later the delegates were received by President Rosevelt at the White House. Vaatdl Hay and Straw in quantities to be baled on premises. Will pay best market prices.

A dispatch to the Post Intelligencer of Seattle, Wash., from Valdez, Alaska, says that forces of the Guggenheim railroad, the Copper River & Northwestern, shot and wounded six surveyors and workmen employed by the Alaska-Nome railway, in Keystone canyon, fifteen miles from Valdez Wednesday. The party was making a preliminary survey for the Nome railroad, which is planned from Valdez to the summit. They ha'd advanced about one hundred yards up the canyon when they were surprised by an ambush of the Guggenheim men headed by Edward Hassey, an ex-United States marshal Hassey called to the surveyors and ordered them to stop, saying his men would shoot if any further advance was made., The surveyors believed Hassey was bluffing and- continued working. They were met by a fusillade of bullets. It is reported tha one man is dead, and that three more may die of their wounds. Deputy United States marshals armed with rifles left Valdez immediately for the scene to capture the guilty persons. One of the men shot is named Hickman. Popular feeling is running high and citizens are talking of wreaking sAimmary justice should the men who dkl the shooting be caught. Squelch Free Love Sheet "Free labor, free love and free thought are the guiding stars "of the life of Charles M. Dyer, Clovcrdale, editor of the Mirror, who until Thürs, day printed and distributed free ot charge his literature in which he voiced his sentiments so freely. Postoffice Inspector W. T. Fletcher caused his arrest on a charge of sending obscene matter through the mails. Then some weeks gao Dyer addressed a letter in heavy prominent type to "Teddy Bombastes Furioso, Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C," and this caused a charge of sending defamatory and libelous matter through the mails. On bond of $00 Dyer was released by Commissioner McPheeters at Bloomington to appear before tht United States grand jury in Indianapolis in November. Dyer was1 aprested by United States Deputy Marshal Martin at the instance of Postoffice Inspector Fletcher. In his "literature" printed in the Mirror, Dyer has advocated "the scientific improvement of the human race" by methods which may, perhaps, be termed "advanced", but which have caused him to get into trouble with the postal authorities. The letter addressed by Dyer to "Teddy Bombastes FuriosK)" has not been opened. Declare Prison Holds Sarah Schafer's Slayer. Although Prosecutor Fletcher of Bedford, is attempting to follow up a new clue in the Sarah Schäfer murder mystery, ex-Policeman William J. Stamp of Elkhart is convinced that the murderer is now serving time in the Michigan City Prison. Stamp arrested Frank Berger at Elkhart Dec. 5 last, and, while in the County jail, Berger made a statement purporting to be a confession of the Schäfer murder. He was sent to Michigan City to serve two to fourteen years upon conviction of attempting to kill Officer Stamp. The Berger confession was exploded on the theory that he was in the Columbus O., Penitentiary and wa.4 not released until six months after the Bedford murder. But the Elkhart policeman insists Berger either escaped or was released. He says eventually Berger's story will lead to the solution of the Bedford mystery, and that the confessor of the crime is really the person who committed it. Strayed Notice.

ONE PRICE TO ALL. Giving Crimo a Chance. Richard Walton, the negro who is supposed Jlo have killed Mrs. Lillian White Grant after robbing her, left the penitentiary five months ago after a seven-year term. It was the third time he had been in Joliet, and he was known to be a professional criminal. The pardon board had nevertheless released him, with little more than half his expected period of imprisonment expired, because he had been on his good behavior in jail. Now, though Walton is a man who can behave well in jail, he is a man who cannot or, what comes socially to the same thing, , who will not behave well out of jail. A month or two of routine-labor in the employ of the manj to whom he was paroled palled on him. He broke loose, and has since then been committing robberies and "hold-ups," as he himself confesses. The result is unless a great mistake is made by those who regard him as guilty the brutal murder of a rcspecte woman who had long lived an unusually useful life in Chicago. What should society do with men like Walton ? Is it not clear that, instead of turning them loose at intervals to give them a new chance for crime, it should keep them where it will be safe against their depredations? Attorney General Bonaparte has been much criticised for suggesting that man who has been a fourth time convicted of a grave offense should be put to death, and we are far from indorsing that special form of punishment. But certainly in Walton's' case, assuming him guilty, it would have been vastly better to take his life than to set him free to take the life of Mrs. Grant. The execution of professional criminals is not, however, necessary iri order to protect society from them. There is no reason why a special inquest on the professional criminal habits of such men should not be made after a third or fourth conviction. Then if it became evident that they had systematically adopted crime as a means of gaining a living they could be sequestered for life. If Walton's case were isolated such conclusions would be faulty. But Walton's case is one of a great type. Society should rise to a more intelligent method of dealing with the type. Big Rise irrississippi. Recent heavy rains, which have caused a rise of four feet in the channel, will interfere with the inspection of the upper Mississippi river by the inland waterways commission and President Roosevelt. The commission left St. Paul Friday and joined the president at Keokt k. All along the upper river, from Keokuk to St. Paul, nearly every dam and piece of improvement work done. by the government in recent years is under water.

"HE BEE HIVE.

. New Honors for Taft. The visit of Secretary Taft to Japan, which has assumed the aspect of a triumphal tour, was made the occasion Tuesday of further remarkable demonstrations. At a luncheon given in the secretary's honor by Foreign Minister Hayashi at the Koshikawa Korekuyen arsenal, the most brilliant function of his visit he met Japan's leading statesmen. Whenever'he appeared on the streets he was surrounded by thousands of cheering Japanese. Later in the day he was given an ovation at Yokohama, where he went to hold a reception for the American residents of the city. He then returned to Tokio. The luncheon at Tokio brought together a notable gathering of Japanese officers who gained renown in the recent war, and other prominent leaders. Sharing the head of the table with Secretary Taft was Field Marshal Prince Oyama. Those present included General Marquis Ncxlzu. Count Katsura, a member of the military council of the empire; Admiral Baron Gombel Yamamoto, General Count Oku, chief of the general staff of the armyj Admiral Togo, chief of the general staff of the navy, and General Count Nogi. The tables were decorated with flowers and the pavilion showed the American and Japanese flags entwined. The toast to President Roosevelt elicited great applause; and in reply Secretary Taft proposed the health of the hmperor of Japan. The Japanese normally are lacking in display of emotion but Mr. Taft's speech in wfoich he said a war between America and Japan would be "insanity," continues still a theme of universal conversation. All the editorial articles praise it, and a number of prominent Japanese business men have said they regard! it as ar official and final declaration. It had a buoyant effect on the bourse. Secretary and Mrs. Taft, on going to Yokohama, were the guests of honor at a brilliant receplion at the American consulate, under the auspices' of the Asiatic associations. Features of the entertainment weTe the presentation of a silver tea service to Mrs. Taft from the City of Yokohama and the exchange of friendly speeches between Secretary Taft and prominent Japanese. The entire city council, headed by the mayor of Yokohama, was present, a were the governor of Sufa, the members of the prefectural municipal assemblies and a number of representatives of the diplomatic corps at Tokyo and the consular Vrorps at Tokio. In -his speech Mr. Taft emphasized the reciprocal nature of the commerce between the United States and Japan which, he declared, precluded any idea of hostilities.

Roots Live in a Castle. After being received Monday in Mexico's capital with almost royal honors', Secretary Root and his party enjoyed the festivities arranged by the government for their entertainment, i The greater part of the Secretary's time was occupied in! formal meetings with officials and the leading Mexican statesmen. Mrs. and Miss Root were taken for drives over the roads about the city. Two carriages 'drawn by the finest horses in the government stables and an automo bile have been placed at their disposal. The Root party, is established in Chapultepoe castle, which they were told will be their home during their stay in Mexico. A telegraph room has been established to keep Mr. Root int constant communication with Washington. The pa.ty arrived in Mexico City in the presidential train, and thousands of persons, including many Americans, greeted them. They were taken directly to Chapultepec, and a tea, at which government officer and their wives were guests, opened the festivities. Asks $20,000 for His Leg. Employed to unload hard coal from a Lake Erie & Western railroad boxcar, and being injured in a car at Indianapolis while he was earning $5 a day, Alfred Townsend has sued the railroad for $20,000 idamges. . His complaint alleges that in unloading a certain car on August 18, 1906, he ran a twentypenny spike, old and rusty, through his knee in such . way that gangrene set in and his right leg was1 amputated five inches above the knee. He says the spike with other equally old and equally rusty spikes, was put there by railroad employes and that the company is, therefore, responsible for making him a cripple for life.

EW ÄßE PLYMOUTH. INDIANA. J Nothing In ItSome time ago this paper gave an article cn the so-called "soul-weighing" experiments. The National Druggist notes that if such a test is to be of any value whatever the body of the decedent must be placed before death, entirely nude, upon a pair of balances, delicate to the minutest fraction of a grain. "Every particle of moisture and the secretions of the body escaping at the moment of de-;h must be taken cognizance of and weighed with the corpse, and that by an expert, with years of experience, the exhalations of the body with the rest. The manifest impossibility of this feat, that is to say, with an apparatus known to and likely to be operated by such 'physicians' as curry public notice as? those who have given the matter out for publication men altogether unknown to the great body of physicians of the country, is apparent."
