The question us to who. will be a • fiuuHtiute lor Governor has somewhat ’subsided since the recent conference *t Cleveland but from all appearances jlyron T, Herrick will be the strong­ est innn in the convention, As there is plenty of time yet Nevin, Harding* Dick, Daugherty or Douglass may be *ble to land the place, A t ,present ' "the odds are stiMngly.iu favor- of the , Cleveland man,' for it is supposed that he ]s tha choice of Senator Hanna and hischoice,has great weight with the people ot this state, There is no questW but that General Charles Dick would make a strong bid for the gubernatorial chair 'but he is a valu- » able man and needed in a more im­ portant place, that of holding a seat in the House ot Representatives and as chairman.of the, state organization. It is really more important that the next slate legislature should be. Re­ publican in,both houses. While Senator Hattna'bas~ uof ex- . pressed his opinion as to who he wants . as a candidate for governor it stands to reason that it would be a man from ,his home county. The jnaior Sena­ tor at the present time has a great political friend in the person of Tom Johnson', tbe leader of Democracy in Cuyahoga county. His home city is in the hands of Democracy and strong man that.lie is, he is unable to gain ,coutpol for. the Republican party. Row if heading the state ticket with ‘ a Cuyahoga county man will enable Marcus to give over his,county to the Republican party it seems that this should be done. A solid Republican ' delegation from this county to the ; legislature may he of more value to the people of this state than is really ’ thought of at the present time. In speaking of the governorship 'and the selecting of candidates we. re­ call a*recent editorial from the Xenia Gazette, that noble Green street or- - gan asking that this' question he Set- tied ‘ ‘ in the open’’ in the arena of the convention with perfectly ^fair play for all pspirauts, and not push aside a number of good men because a party , of so-called leaders determine on one man.

The examiners condemn the system of bookkeeping used and disagree on several other niinbrififliiirs, . They contended that there iwns n shortage owing to this system but. afterwnrds found Unit as .far as the money was concerned everything was alright. Tho difference came in makiug different entries on the books which, were understood by tim directors but the examiners re­ fused to accept the explanation. There could be no serious complaint n& long ns there was no shortage in the fitiauces. The nununi election of directors will be held lb February.

The sapientuin—the wiseness—in its name is a graceful tribute to it aft the “ wise man's food," for, incred­ ible aft it may seem, it is perhaps the best food product of the earth, being far more productive than ei­ ther wheat or potatoes, the staple food of other nations. Long ago it was calculated that it is 133 times as productive, as wheat and forty- four times as productive aft the po­ tato—in other words, that the ground that would give thirty-three pounds of wheat or ninety-nine pounds o f potatoes would, as far as ni>rc space is concerned, give 4,000 pounds of Bananas and with a frac­ tional amount of the same trouble.

Tho X ray is being used in den­ tistry with considerable success. It sometimes happens that the perma­ nent, or “ second,” teeth are act properly cut. The mouth is thus disfigured by the loss of the first set of teeth and the nonappearance of the second teeth. With tho X fay the dentist can determine whether the second tooth is in the gum and, if so, why it has not appeared. Tho obstruction is removed, a passage opened and the tooth works grad­ ually down to its place. Unexplored Canada* You need, not go to Africa to find unexplored territory.

The. raorniug that the.call of the Governor came all the bells of the village rang, which called all the men from their homes to learn the purpose of it and intense excitement prevailed. The company was hastily- organized and the oOm. • missioned officers were chosen before they left Cedarville, but' the non-com­ missioned officers were choBen after they arrived in Cincinnati. This company of hastily enlistened recruits were dubbed “ The Squirrel Hunters” by the regular soldier hoys.- They were used to relieve the regular sold-, iers, who were sent over to the Ken­ tucky side to fortify the heights. The “ Squirrel Hunters” remained in the . city about a week, when- they -were, honorably discharged by the Govern­ or, as they were no longer needed.
