Charley Williams made a distinct hit with a little camapign ditty and was encored time and again. After the singers had started the ball rolling Attorney Byram Bobbins president of the Young Men's Republican Club and chairman of the evening, introduced the speaker, Mr. Griffiths, and paid him a most glowing tribute. Mr. Griffiths was greeted with a great burst of applause and he was compelled to raise his hand several times before quiet could be restored. Everybody in the audience had large chunks of enthusiasm on tap and every available opporunity was seized upon to waste some of it. And these opportunities were not far apart. Mr. f J ninths talked a little over an hour and a half and so witty, forcible and eloquent was his address that he kept his listeners in breathless silence which was broken only when the crowd laughed at some humorous saying or applauded some pertinent statement. Mr. Griffiths said in part: "Young Men's Republican Club "and Republicans of Wayne county, I congratulate vou on this demonstration. Tt only bears out the stateT made to Senator Piatt at ment Watertown, that Indiana was going

overwhelmingly Republican. He bid me bring the message io Indiana that New York State was going to give Theodore Roosevelt 100,000 plurality on November 8, and that the Democratic predictions to the contrary were about as accurate as Parker's estimate , of the amount of money spent on the Philippines and the loss of life in those islands. We judge political parties not by their performances of today, but' of yesterday. Tn this gwdly year 1904 the Republican party is celebrating it's fiftieth anniversary. It was born in time of storm and stress and the founders of the party experienced the same trials and troubles as did our forefathers, the Pilgrims. In these -.fifty years this great party has a record that can be looked back on with " pride and the eon tidenee imposed upon it by the American people is attested by the fact that in (Continued on Page Five.)

San .Franeisco, Cal., October 31. All prize fight fans were surprised tonight to see Jimmy Britt give joe Cans one of the worst battles for his life that the colored man ever had. Although Britt lost the battle by fouling Cans in the fifth round, every body was unanimous in tlie thought that the white boy had the best of the fight from start to finish. Britt lost the lightweight championship of the world when he fouled Gans in the fifth round. Britt had knocked the colored man to his knees and then Britt lost his head and gave Gans a vicious punch in the ribs. Referee Granev at once gave the de cision to Gans on a foul. In the fourth round Britt knocked Gans to the floor and gave him a punch while he was lovn, but Graney refused to call it a foul. Gans entered the ring weighing 133 pounds and was the favorite in the betting, the odds being 7 to 10. Britt showed the best form all through the battle and convinced his admirers that the rest he had taken for the last year had done" him good. He seemed to le in the pink of condition and why he should lose his head at a critical moment can not , bo explained. There seemed to be no limit to his strength and endurance. He used a numler of new blows Formerly he depended solely on his left, but tonight he used both to a gKd advantage. A large crowd witnessed the fight. STOP THIEF! STOP THIEF!!

Superintendent of Police Gormos. received word last night that the horse and buggy which was stolen from Omer Ratliff in this city last; Friday night was being held at Midlit?-. r rN.vtfill 1 1 1 1 klf llin Xenia and Springtield, in Clark coun ty. Mr. Clormon notified Mr. RatlitTlT, who left at once for Midway to claim his property. This incident coupled fith the confession of . John Heinz made '.'yesterday morning, clears up the robbery which ha, troubled the police for several day past-. Heinz confessed to stealing the horse and buggy, but cmld not nil wllorn tin lm1 left 5f. IfpitlZ WiLS arrested. ounuay nigui i .tue.uuiwell Hotel shortly after he had arrived from Dayton. Officers Little and McXally, who arrested him werj not positive that he had stolen, the ' outfit, but he was arrested on suspicion. He would make no statement to the 'officers Sunday night, and did not make any until he was closely, examined by Superintendent Gormon, Prosecutor Comstock and Mayor Zimmerman yesterday morning. In the examination Heinz would not say where he had lived for the last five or six years, but claimed that h had been in Hamilton for sererai weeks. He said that he was a farm hand, but his hands did not hhovr the effects of hard labor and this story is not believed, although h has the appearance in dress and manner of being such. When searched Sunday night $1S was found pinned to the inside of his trousers. In a. grip which he had were a number ot articles of clothing which had never been worn. He claims that he ha been in an insane hospital a number of times and from his actions tue police lelieve that he has also been confined in a work house and perhaps in the penitentiary. During the examination given him yesterday morning he would get mixed up in hi story frequently and when told that hU story was not going right he would tell the officers that his head hurt him. , While the police believe the man is mentally weak ihey think that he is sane enough to be a very slick horss thief. It is the general opinion tha: Heinz was mixed up iu the stealing of horses at Miamisburg and Hamilton. ". . . . ". He came to this city several weeks airo and registered at the Maxwell Hotel. On the days that the horse were stolen in the two Ohio eities he disapieared from this city and that is what leads the police to believe that he had a hand in the work. While he was at the hotel he would register each day and on the lasc Friday,. the day he stole the Ratliff horse he left a call for 5:30 a. m. Saturday. Superintendent Gormori suspected Heinz Saturda3 morning and felt w positive of his suspicion that in sending out cards to other jroliee departments he had the description of Heinz printed n them.
