Buckeye Executive to' Dominate Convention. MEETING OPENS TODAY THERE IS GREAT DEAL OF INTER EST IN CONNECTION WITH STAND PARTY WILL. TAKE ON LIQUOR QUESTION. Publishers' Press J Columbus, O., Aug. 20. It having become apparent that the Pattison forces will coatrol the Democratic state convention, which opens at Me al hall Tuesday, there is a good of interest in certain quarters to know how far the convention will go on the temperance question. The tern perance planks in the Pattison plat form of last year will not be inserted thia year. Liquor interests would like an expression calling for the reduc tion of the Aikin tax to $500, but this subject will hardly be taken ud by the resolutions committee. Certainly it will not be endorsed, as the Pattison forces, which now seem to be in full control, will not countenance it Where the difference of opinion will come in the committee on resolutions on the temperance question will be the plank in a platform to be submit ted, calling for the passage of a coun ty option law. This proposition will be opposed by the liquor interests. Several counties contain small cities, the rural population outnumbering the town folks about four to one. Liquor interests point out that while the small city may now be wet, after an election in the corporation. It may be voted dry by the remainder of the county whether the people in the cor poration .want to be dry or not. The delegates to the Democratic state, convention will meet by con gressional districts at 2:30 p. m. Tuesday to select committeemen, which will be reported to the convention at an evening session to begin at 7:30 o'clock, at which the temporary or ganization will be installed and the speech of Judge B. F. McCann of Day ton, temporary chairman, delivered. Frank Harper, editor of the Mt. Ver non Banner, as chairman of the state central committee, will call, the con vention to order, announce the tern porary organization and introduce the temporary chairman. Judge B. F. Mc Cann of Dayton, who will sound the keynote. After this address the vari ous committees will be announced, and a recess will be taken to 9:30 a. m. Wednesday. During the interim the committee meetings will be held. The most important of these committee . meetings this time will be that which will drafi a platform. In all probability the tem porary organization will be made , per manent. It is not likely the committee on credentials will have any com tests to settle. Rules and order of business will be according to the cus tomary process. So that the most important work in committee will be the framing of a platforia. The wiseacres say there will be a contest between Johnson and the Pattison regime for control of the. party machinery. If they are right about it the contest must be In the district caucuses over the selection of central committeemen. At this . writing it looks as though Samuel A. Hoskins of Wapakoneta would have no opposition in the choice of a candidate for secretary of state. Professor Charles Haupert of Wooster and J. A. McDowell of Millersburg are candidates for nomination for commissioner of common schools. For food and dairy commissioner R. J. Diegel of Sandusky, J. F. Feather of Plain City and J. A. Devol of Marietta are prominently mentioned. Conductor Killed. Springfield, 'O., Aug. 20. John Porter Curry, a streetcar conductor, was instantly killed. lie was in charge of a car "running on the Spring Grove Park line, and stepped to the rear of the car to driv off some boys. He looked out to see if the lad3 were gone and a car going in the opposite direction struck his head, crushing the skull. Victim of Robbers. Portsmouth, O., Aug. 20.

Tis nerve that makes the world go round.

Although the gentlemen of learning May try to tell us it is love That makes the busy wheels keep turn ing. The man in love, and woman, too. May be, oh, very, very happy. But the rewards come floating to The gentleman who's loud and scrappy. The man of large and iron nerve May not be delicate or pretty. But you'll observe that he is in On all the good things round the city. The Ice and coal man and the clan Of genial gougers may not love him. But still in spite of their dislike They're pretty careful not to shove him. 'Tis nerve that climbs the mountain peaks. To roots and snowy ledges clinging. And, on the other hand, take note, Tis nerve that does most all the singing.. Tis nerve that walks up to the polls And pushes past the icy shoulder Ar.d grabs an office large and fat And well worth having to the holder. The man of nerve has such a way. In spite of- snubs or sneers or laughter Or any other obstacle. Of getting things that he goe3 after. . He pulls" the lightning from the skies. He makes the bee give up -.its honey. And when there's something-good in sight He's always round to take the money. His Ambition. "What you goin ter be Jimmie, when you grow up?" "Soldier; ain't you?" "Soldier nothin'; Fin goin to be a hazer." Object Lesson. "Why does the lady walk so rapidly with her chin held so high and so firm?" "She is going to look in the swimming hole for her little son." "Is he lost?" "No, but he fondly imagines that his mother is." "Does she yearn so much to see him?" "Yes, very much, indeed." "What will she do when she finds him?" "There will be a fine slipper play when that happens." "And will her little son be sorry and promise never to run away again?" "He will not be sorry, and he will promise himself that the next time he runs away he will become a pirate and live to strike terror to all mothers hearts."'" . y "Ah, I see; this isthe first act in the drama 'How Pirates Are Made,' I sup pose." , "Yes, in the imaginations of little boys' Easily Managed.

"Oh, that's all right, dear; I just, had a letter from Ketchum's saying that I may buy whatever I want there with out paying a cent." - Knew a Good Thing. Oh, young Lochinvar sauntered out of the west; He trimmed up his whiskers and pulled down his vest. And the girls did not run fr6m the man in alarm. For he showed them a deed to a big western farm.

Nobody has a cinch on all the folly in the world, but some people act as if they think they have. However willing he may be to do so, no man can play "hookie" from the school of experience. Installment collectors never grow weary. Too many cooks consume the soup before it is served. A shoe that pinches our neighbor's foot is a ridiculous vanity.

Montana Millionaires "Pull Off

Strange Prize Fight In New York City. ONE REPTILE GETS AWAY Scares Belated Tenderloiners and Makes Sergeant Suspect Patrolman's Sobriety Pink Indian Snake VVics Bout, With Rat For Reward. As a result of a snake fight "pulled off" in Herman Lee Meader's studio at 102 East Twenty-sixth street, New York city, for the amusement of sever al Montana millionaires on whoto the prosaic diversions of the metropolis had palled, early pedestrians wer: dumfounded to find the vicinity of Broadway and Madison square peo pled by gigantic, reptiles wriggling through the gutters. The milkmen were finishing their early morning rounds as Patrolman "TAKE IT AWAY! TAKE IT A WAV !" Alexander Kleinmeyer saw a pedestrian stop suddenly, , rub his eyes, stare with bulging eyes Into space, wave his hands before his face, give a yell of terror and fiee. .Kleinmeyer shook his head sadly and was about to walk away when he found advancing toward him, with head erect, a wriggling snake five feet long, with a diameter in proportion. After considerable reconnoitering, Kleinmeyer managed to entice the reptile into a large garbage box which happened to be close at hand. He took his captive to the Tenderloin station, where Sergeant McG&nn was doing desk duty. -, ' The sergeant was as tired as Klein meyer and didn't notice that the pa trolman was bringing in the box with him. So when the latter stood in front of the sergeant's desk and said. "Sergeant, I've got a snake," the sergeant looked up with a start and replied:' ' "Too bad, Kleinmeyer, too bad. I didn't think you were a drinking man.'" The astonished Kleinmeyer looked hurt and repeated in a louder voice: "Sergeant, I have a snake in the box." "Yes, it always ends with a box," said Sergeant McCann. Kleinmeyer was in a frenzied state of mind by this time. Lifting-tip the box, he invited the sergeant to look therein. Sergeant McCann did look, just to please Kleinmeyer. A long black head arose from the garbage box. A pair i f steely eyes and a flashing red tangue transfixed McCann. Assuming a tragic attitude, with hands extended before his face, the sergeant yelled: - "Take it away! Take it away!" There is no doubt in the minds of McCann and Kleinmeyer that the ssnake escaped in some nwinner from the snake scout in the Meader studio The instigator of the uncanny prize fight was A. L. Stapleton, a copper miner from Montana. He and several other prosperous westerners were stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria, and it was in the cafe of the hotel that the reptile fight was arranged. It was all due to a wager that" a rattler would fall before a king snake, but wben these two reptiles refused to fight a miscellaneous lot of wrigglers wai turned loose and a general catch-as-catch-can ensued. The bout was witnessed by thirty men, including Lieutenants Allen and Tremont of the battleship West Yirglna and several Wall street brokers. It was the most exciting event that any one of them, including even the westerners, had ever witnessed. In a wire inclosed ring the reptiles struck and wriggled. Repeatedly the writhing things escaped from the ring only to be pushed back to their death fight by brooms- or any long handled implement handy. Twenty minutes, after the general melee had begun an India pink snake had vanquished all its foes and for Its prowess was awarded a fatrai. There will be a called meeting of Mary F.

There is an anjple reason why lov ers of vaudeville should go to the New Phillips this week for; the bill is one that cannot fail to please. The Five Lovelands, musicians, are the headliners and as a musical at traction they have never been ap proached since vaudeville has been put on at the New Phillips. They were enthusiastically received and recalled, making willing ' responses. The Lovelands are known as the solo quintet for the reason that they not only play collectively, but each is a pleasing and clever soloist, Lelah playing the violin and slide trombone; Carl, the clarinet and cello; Milton the cornet "and violin; Mrs. Loveland the flute and concert horn and Mr. Loveland, the piano and bar bardon. Frank Bowman, illusionist, is one of the most clever in his line, performing many mystifying tricks with cards, handkerchiefs, eggs, hats and the various other articles that are generally used by ' the fellows with the velvet touch.

Ellsworth, whose striking resemblance to Sol Smith' Russell and whose easy and natural assumption of the latter's action and methods, led him a number of years ago to devote himself almost exclusively to the proauction of Mr. Russell's 'roles.
