A Surprise Party.

Jonas Braucher, of Jackson township,
one of the most influential and highly
respected citizens of that township,
reached his Goth mile stone in life's
journey on Thursday the Goth inst. But
he felt so young and was so engaged
with the duties about the house that he
forgot it was his birthday, but his wife
and friends did not forget it. In the
morning he informed his good wife that
he was going to dig lot of potatoes
and deliver them in MassillOn according
20 a previous contract. His wife in
good earnest urged him to not go away,
as their pastor, Rev. Young was expect
ed to take dinner with them on that d8y,
and il would not look we'll for him TO
be away. He then decided to remain at
home and dig potatoes until the pastor
arrived. And while he dug potatoes
his wife set the house in order and pre-
pared for the reception of the previously
invited guests, and by noon fully seven
ty-tiye of the relatives, neighoOTS and
friends had gathered. By little STRAIT
egem she kept her husband out in the
field in blissful Ignorance of what was
going on about the house, until the
feast was spread. Though being a man
of considerable tact and foresight, he ad-
mitted, on reaching the house and see
ing the crOwi, that he had been out
generated, and that too, by woman,
but he at once entered into a spirit of
the accession and enjoyed it all the more
because he was not prepared for it. Af-
ter satisfying the inner man by feasting
on sumptiOus Tepast, the afternoon
was spent i'll social chat, general hand
shaking and music. Rev. Young on be-
half of the family and a number of
friends, presented father Braucher with
a number of valuable presents.
Mr.. Braucher is one of old JacksOn's
representative men, a man of sterling
integrity and true worth, and on account
of his many excellent qualities has
gathered around him scores of true and
trusted friends, who hope that he and
his amiable wife may live to enjoy many
years of life's pleasures and witness the
return of many more such occasions.

SAM RROoKE 1NTERvIEwED,
What He Know. About General EoIsles

What He Knows About General EoISley.
A reporter of the Leader has inter-
viewed Mr.. Samuel Brooke of Alliance,
who is we'll known throughout this sec-
tiOn of country as one of the pioneer ad-
VOcates of slavery abolition, and one of
the organizers of the Republican party.
The interview is as follows, and will be
found interesting reading for the voters
of this Senatorial district:
RepOrter-Mr. Brooke, would like to
inquire, for the benefit of the public, If
you are acquainted with Z. r. Eckley,
the Republican nominee for State Sena-
tor in this district; and if so, learn what
you know of him.
BrOOke-Yes, sir; 1 am acquainted with
him.
RepOrter-What do you know as to
his past conduct and general reputatiOnp
BroOke-I know that his conduct with
me has been bad, dishOnOrable and dis
honest. / believe his general reputa-
tion to he bad, and i'll addition to my
own testimony | can refer you to Mr.
Couch, banker of CarTolltOn; Mr.. ShOber,
Atty at law at same place; also MIR. Ru-
kenbTOd. Mr.. CrumTine and host of
others, who know Eckley, as l do, to be
undeSeTVing of the support OF good c1tl-
Zens. | can also refer you to DR.. Hos
letter and other Republicans Of Miner
va.
RepOrter-I have heard some talk
among certain citizens, Mr.. Brooke,
about transaction between you and
Mr.. Eckley concerning surveying in
strument. Will you please explain 1t
BrOOke-The only explanation is this.
l am civil engineer by profession. On
August %, 1875, Mr.. Eckley sent letter
by a man named Sykes, asking me to
loan him the use of one of my surveying
instruments, valued at $176, and repre-
senting in the letter that they only wan
ted to ''use the instrument few days,
and that it should be returned to me in
good order" As the instrument was a
fine one let it go reluctantly, and am
sorry to say that l have not seen 1T from
that day to this. l have frequently ask
ed Eckley about it, and he has made me
many promises to return the instrument
or make good the loss. Finally l learn
ed that it was over in MahOning county
and Eckley suggested to me that to OBJ
tain it must go and TepleVin it. But
have never succeeded in recovering 1T,
nor has Eckley ever taken any steps to
make good my loss, which was lily pre-
pared to meet.
RepOrter-By the way, Mr.. Brooke,
have you heard of the failure of Gov
Foster to get an audience at his Malvern
meeting?
BrOoke-Yes, learned of that on Mon
day.
RepOTter-TO what do you attribute
the failuTe2
BrOoke-TO a knowledge among the
people in that locality of Eckley's un'
savOry record, and to belief among
them that the Republican State Commit,
tee was spending money to secure his
election, and that Foster was sent to
Malvern to do what he could to bolster
up the chances of this disTeputable can
didate. | have long voted the Republi-
can ticket, but when man like Eckley,
a known tricksteT of corrupt conduct
and dishOnast intention, succeeds in
fOisting himself upOu the party, regard
they can to defeat him at the election

A Practical Way to SOlve.the Labor Prob
lem.
At New York, the other day. Mr.. Brews-
ter, of the firm of Brewster Il Co., wagon
manufacturers, was before the Senate
subcommittee, and said he had been an
employer for over thirty years. The firm
employed about 500 hands, most of
whom were skilled labOreTs.
Public opinion alone, in his estima-
tiOn, could reach the subject of labOr's
rights. He did not think it could be eff
fected by legislation at present, though
he thought the course being pursued by
the committee was in the right direc-
tiOn. The firm had devised a plan by
which skilled men in their employ
should receive a share of the profits of
the concern, and had founded an indus
trial association.
Mr.. Brewster said he had men in his
employ who could teach him. They had
general knowledge of affairs, many
of them in physics, chemistry and many
other branches of learning.
Charles iSiedler, tobacco manufactu-
rer, said his firm employed about 1000
persons, and now pay wages amounting
annually to S2.50O.000. They had paid
as high as 100000 in year. About
40 per cent of the employees are girls.
Most of their employees live in tenements
and unfortunately they are imprOvident
and spend their wages as they earn
them. There are S24 tobacco manufac-
tories in the United States. Most of
them are small. There are 100000
pounds of chewing tobacco manufactur-
ed annually in this country. All who
are injured or become ill in their en-
plOy are treated without charge. He
favored the establishment Of industrial
schools. Many employers, he said, are
turning their minds towards enhancing
the interest of their employees, socially
and otherwise,

The meeting of the Democrats last
night was rOuser-One of the old fsssh-
loned kind. Long before the hour aD-
pointed for the opening of the meeting
in Schaefer's Opera House the streets
were crowded with enthusiastic Demo-
Gratis who had assembled here from AL
lance, MassillOn, Minerva, 0snaburgh,
and other points. The Opera House was
literally packed with people, and the
vast audience listened with rare atten-
tlon to the able and mastery address de-
leYered by the Hon. Samuel j. Randall,
member of Congress from Pennsylvania.
Congressman elect Wallace occupied
a seat on the stage, and the crowd out
side was such, that he was requested to
go out and address them, which he did
from the band stand in a very able man
ner.

EsmeraIdn and HazsI Kirks.

When "Hazel Kirke" was withdrawn
from the stage of the Madison Square
Theatre, after it's wonderful run, many
people predicted that it's successor never
would win the high place in public
favor which the great drama held. 1t
did not, however, take the critical thea
tTe-goers long to discover fine dramatic
situations and hidden beauties in "Es-
meralda" which made this simple do
mestic story by universal consent the
successor and rival of Hazel Kirke.' "
Our citizens have now the opportunity
of Judging for themselves of the respec-
tive merits of the two plays, by visiting

Mr.. j. M. COrl, owner of the Navarro
City Mills, of Navarro, has contracted
with the Miller Company of Canton, o.,
for mill using the Rider system of mil
ling. The mill is now completed and
turning out grade of flour superior to
any in that section of the country. The
mill is run by water, using an old style
OvershOOt water wheel. BY using any
other system the water wheel would not
have had power enough to keep the mill
to the capacity desired. By using the
Rider Breaks this obstacle was overcome
as the mill has more capacity than was
contracted for. The Miller Company
built the mill complete. The basement
contains the gearing for getting up the
motion for the upright shaft, and also
the counter shaft to drive the breaks and
rolls. The floor is also the foundation
for thirteen pairs of elevators. The first
floor has two Rider Breaks, also one A.
roll mill, one 3-roll mill and two flOur
packers. The wheat cleaners and eIe-
yatOrs for the same are also located on
this floor.
The third floor contains 6-roII bolt
ing chest. This chest is said to be the
finest in the state.
The fourth floor contains a four reel
scalping chest, also one No. Double
Smith Purifier, and one Ohio Purifier;
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1883-10-03

the fifth contains the heads of fourteen
pair of elevators, and two line shafts
for driving elevators and purifiers.
The mill was programmed and planed
by MIR. G. S. Rider. the milling expert,
and Mr.. j. S. Rider has charge of the
millwright work, and it is a model of
skill and workmanship. This mill has
not had a slip of belt OF a change of
spont or boiling cloth since the water
was turned on, a case not known before
in mill building, proving that the Mil
Ter Company stand in the front ranks
as mill builders.
