ENEMY'S COUNTRY WILL HOT ESCAPE

Hitchcock and His Republican Hosts to Invade the South. PLANS A MONSTER MEETING WILL MEET ALL REPUBLICAN LEADERS SOUTH OF MASON AND DIXON'S LINE TO PLAN FIGHT ON DEMOCRATS. New York. August 1. Plana for Invading the "enemy's country" were made by Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock today, on the occasion of the formal opening of tho republican national headquarters la the MetrapolItan Life building's tower. E. C. Duncan, member of the comemltte from North Carolina, was one of Mr. Hitchcock's first visitors and they dlscused the scheme of campaign to be applied in the southern states. As soon as Mr. Hitchcock gets setled In his new quarters and the machine is running easily he will call a meeting of the republican leaders of the south. At thl3 meeting plans will be formulated for making a vigorous campaign south of Mason and Dixon's line. " "We do not say that we will break into the solid south materially," 6aid Mr. Duncan, " but we do believe things have been changed materially. In one or two southern staes at least the dissatisfaction with the democratic ticket and platform has risen almost to the point of revolt. If we can not win these states this fall we can, at least pave the way for victory four years later. And there is a chance that eGorgia and one or two other fctates may at least divide electoral representation with the republicans." CONVICTHAS PROXY Another Man Named to Make Race for Labor-Socialist Candidate. QUEER THEORY IN CASE. New York, Aug. 1. M. R. Preston, who is serving a term in Nevada for murder, has notified the socialist labor party leaders in this city that he will not permit his name to be used as a candidate for president. This party recently nominated Preston at .its national convention. Today a new name was placed on the ticket, which reads: "For president August Gillhaus. Engineer, New York, as proxy for Preston." In explanation of the "as proxy for Preston" cliruse, the party tried to give an explanation by saying that in the event of the election of Gilhaus, Preston would still be the one who would direct the affairs of the nation, Gilhaus being merely the go-between; that Preston would choose the cabinet and Gilhaus would obey the murderer's instructions. REPAIRS MADE - 0NC0URT HOUSE Many Office Holders Will Now Be Content. During the past week repairs have teen made about the court house that are expected to be welcomed by the occupants of the offices located on the west side of the building. The strong winds and heavy winds of thelast sixteen years have beaten with such force from the west that the cement used about the. window casings had disintegrated. It kept falling away until fissures a quarter of an inch wide showed about ncarl y every casing. These have been filled with a p'astic cement preparation. Some of the windows in the clerk's office have been out of condition for years. The weights would not operate over the pulleys properly and it bas been impossible to raise or lower the sashes. Occupants of this office have suffered from the cold In the winter, when other portions of the building were heated satisfactorily.

GIANTS TO PLAY P10UAJTEAM TODAY Will Meet at the Athletic Park. The reorganized Giants have a fast game scheduled with the crack Plqua Giants baseball team at the Athletic park this! afternoon. The Buckeyes come with quite a reputation and have won many victories, so that the Giants will have to work all the time to win. The local team has been reorganized and is even stronger than when it disbanded several years ago. The line-up for today's game will be as follows: Richmond Position Piqua Mitchell c Rotschell Benson p J. Clemens Devinney lb Moss Tate 2b.. .. .. Rockwell Seins 3b.. .. .. ..Stain Jones ss. Green Shark .. .. .. rf Ryan Patterson If Vicks Crane cf Jackson FIRE AND AIR. The Ancient. RrroKnliM the Intimate Relations Betiveen Them. The iutimate relation between fire and air was early recognized, seeing that experience soon taught that air was necessary for fire. The experiment of burning a candle in a closed vessel, now so familiar to every schoolboy, is a very old one, and the influence of a blast of air on a furnace had been probably noticed from a very remote period. By some it was affirmed to be the food of fire, while by others the same belief was embodied in the phrase, "Air nourishes fire." Again, It was long ngo observed that niter, a substance well known to the chemical philosophers of the past, could produce Intense Ignition. It was hence inferred that, since niter possessed this property, it necessarily followed that the two substances resembled each other in composition. According to Robert Boyle, the air contained "volatile niter," while Lord Bacon held that air contained a "volatile, crude and windy spirit" and thunder and lightning were supposed to be due to the presence of minute particles of this niter diffused through air. The important bearing of such observations is due to the fact that oxygen gas, which is one of the chief constituents of air and the one to which it owes its power of supporting combustion, also forms the largest elementary constituent of niter and is likewise the source of the power possessed by that body of supporting combustion. The action of heat on metals in causing them to lose their metallic luster had also not escaped notice, and Cardan, a philosopher who lived during the sixteenth century, in noticing the increase in weight that lead undergoes when heated in air, attributed it to the gas iu the air, which feeds flame and which rekindles a body presenting an ignited point. A Cautions Scot. A Scotsman went to an English race meeting and boldly 6taked a sovereign. Strangely enough, the horse he backed proved a winner, and he went to the "bookie" to claim his winnings. The sporting man begrudgingly handed him 5 sovereigns'. lie looked at each one very carefully before placing it in his pocketbook. "Well." said the "bookie," with a snarl, "are you afraid they're bad?" "Oh, no," said the Scotsman, "but I was just lookin' to niak' sure the bad yin I gie'd ye wisna among them!" She Knew Htm.

COST OP BAD WATER Figures Now Being Prepared, Showing Awful Onslaughts In the City. MEDICAL MEN INTERESTED Chicago, Aug. 1. The cost in lives and money of the contamination of a city's drinking water, a subject in which this city has shown a $."K),0uO,000 interest by reversing the flow of the Chicago river soon will be fixed. Figures secured by the American Medical association, whose headquarters are here, show how enormous the total for all the United States must be. Columbus, Ohio, which had 748 cases of typhoid last April has been taken as an example, medical statisticians of the association adding that the death rate from typhoid is 10 per cent, that caurts have held that $10,000 is a fair estimate of the minimum-value of a human rife, that $5o per case was the average of doctor's bills and $125 the average cost of funerals and therefore Columbus paid about ?2to,(xx in April for the privilege of drinking water contaminated with sewage. "Two and a half million a year is rather a high price for one city to pay for bad water; It would be cheaper to get pur water no matter how much it costs," was the medical expert's comment. Beside the loss of 75 lives, the money expenses which the medical association is seeking to lessen are itemized thus in the illustration used: Seventy-five deaths $ 75,000 Loss in earnings 20,028 Funeral expenses !),375 Medical services . , 37,400 Nursing 44,800 Total f 103,503 That, when our forefathers came to this country and found it well supplied with streams, rivers and lakes of pure and uncontaminated water, instead of valuing this natural resource they made every possible effort to contaminate it by emptying into every river and lake the sewage and filth of cities and towns, explains why we now drink this mixture and wonder why we have typhoid fever. Rosea In the Snow. It seems almost impossible that there should be a plant that flowers naturally outdoors in the depth of winter. But It is a fact. The Christmas rose answers this description. From the end of October until February its white flowers (about three inches across) may bo gathered at almost any time, and even when the ground is covered with snow the Christmas rose is producing its flowers. We don't often see them in December and January because we never think of brushing off the snow to look at the plant that is growing underneath. The flowers are of a dazzling whiteness when young, but become faintly tinged with pink after about a week. Country Life In America. The Preparation. William O'Brien in bis "Recollections" tells this story of Dr. Coke, the archbishop of Cashel: "Once on one of his examinations of the children for confirmation the archbishop put to a little girl the question from the catechism. 'What is the preparation for matrimony?" The little one blushed and giggled and put the corner of her bib in her mouth by way of answer. The question was repeated. 'Oh, sure, your lordship knows it yourself,' was the timid reply. 'Yes, but you must tell me, my child. What is the preparation for matrimony 7 'Well, my lord, a little courting, of course,' at last came the reluctant answer from amid a rosary of blushes." Declining- a Present. Sir Henry Irving .made it a rale not to accept presents from strangers and was often hard pressed for sufficient excuses for declining. During the Russo-Japanese war a wealthy admirer of the great actor approached him with: "Pardon me. Sir Henry, but I want to give you a present." "What Is it?" asked the actor. "A Russian wolf hound." "Awfully sorry I can't accept it" replied Sir Henry. "But Tm a lover of peace, and I have a Japanese valet" The Inattnct.

KIBBEYS VVIN BOTH Starr Piano Team Given a Trouncing by Haber'dashers, Saturday.

EASTHAVEN BREAKS EVEN. In the city base ball league Saturday afternoon the Kibbeys took a little of the pep out of the Starr piano team by winning a dauble header by the score of 7 to 5 in the first game, 1 to 0 in the second game. Both games were hard fought. The pitching of Bulla was great aod never did he let the piano boys rap him hard. Snavely took care of the receiving end with great skill. The haberdashers played the best they have played for some time. Summary of the games follows: Kibbeys 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 07 Starr Piano 00100003 15 Batteries Kibbeys. Bulla and Suavely; Starrs, T. Kuhlenbeck and Sullivan. Second Game. Kibbeys 0 0 0 1 0 0 01 Starrs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Batteries Bulla and Snavely; J. Kuhlenbeck and Roe. Others Break Even. Hoosiers and Easthaven evened matters up in the double header, each taking one game. The west Eiders claimed that the figure 13 in the first game which was ended, the score standing 13 to 5, was their undoing. In the second game the HoOsler boys ployed furrows into their enemy's flanks and won by the score of 11 to 1. CONVICT OF MYSTERY Iowa Has Man Who Is Great Writer and Who Magazine Editors Desire. HE WILL ASK A PARDON. Des Moines, la., Aug. 1. Leonard W. Haley, No. 2G5G, sent up for life by the Iowa courts, for murder fourteen years ago, who has since his imprisonment written such beautiful poems and stories as to lead many to believe he is an author of note, under an alias, is seeking a pardon from the Iowa legislature. If successful he will at once join the staff of a Chicago magazine. Haley has been offered many positions by magazine publishers, who accepted his writings gladly. Four years r.go 2(550 tried for a pardon. He was assisted by a Chicago editor, who wrote letters in his behalf and sought to obtain a parole, so that he might put Haley on his staff. The effort failed. When the legislature meets next winter Haley will present his case again. Ab editor of the Prison Press, 2650 has won a place in Iowa newspaper work. When the legislature ordered all lifers sent to Fort Madison and those imprisoned at Anamosa transferred to that place Haley was permitted to remain at Anamosa. Now the state has decreed that he must join the life convicts at Fort Madison and give up his editorial work. He feels the loss keenly. And it Is this that determined him to make another effort for liberty. Iowa's "convict of mystery," that Is what Haley is called. No one believes that his name is Haley. He denies that he committed the murder at Dubuque in 1894 of which he was convicted. Haley's poems on love and happiness are pronounced remarkable. He has written essays, stories, and criticisms that show his talent. A MIRACLE OF NATURE. The Wonderful Growth of the Antlers of the Wapiti. Wapiti antler growth is one of the miracles of nature that we never cease to consider a miracle. About the end of winter that is in mid-March the antlers of the year before break off flush with their base an inch or more above the skull. Usually they are found close together, showing that they fell nearly at the same time. At first the place of each antler is a broad raw spot. In a few days It shows a thick rounded pad or blood gorged skin. This swells rapidly, and in a fortnight the great bulbous fuzzy horn beginning has shot up to a height of several inches. At exactly the right time, place and in just the right direction a bump comes forth to be the foundation of the brow tine. In a few more days the bez tiue is projected by the Invisible architect. In a month the structure is nearly a foot high and all enveloped in a turgid mass of feverish, throbbing blood vessels the scaffolding and workmen of this surprising structure. Night and day the work is pushed with astounding speed, and in four months this skyscraper is finished, a wonderful structure Indeed, for a score of nature's forces have toiled, a myriad of invisible workmen have done their part aud an edifice that according to ordinary rules, should have taken a lifetime Is here rushed through in a summer and all in absolute silence. August sees the building done, but it is still cluttered with scaffolding. The supplies of blond at the base are reduced and finally discontinued. The antler is no longer in vital touch with the animal. It begins to die. The sensitiveness leaves each part, the velvet covering soon dies, cracks and peels, and the stag assist the process of clearing off the skin by scraping his horns on the brushwood. September see him fully armed in his spears of dead boue. strong In body, glorying in hla weapons and his strength and ready to battle with all comers. Ernest Tunpaon Setan in Scribnerls
