Prof. Armstrong writes the American
Sportsman as follows: ~ am pleased to

The Ohio bred mare Pocahontas drew
q wagon in :171% over Union Course, Long
Island, thirty five years ago. There are
not over three trotters and PAGERS in Stark
county that can beat that time now.
TIE opinion is pretty nearly unani.
nous that 100000 is good fair price for
the Wallace Trotting Register.
Captain Housed has fixed his figures at
2:25 for Razor Back this year. This
means also lots of fun, and a barrel Of
money.
Emery Miller, of Alliance, has put a
number of high bred ones into the Emery
& Fasig sale in Cleveland.
&C. Cook will feel disappointed If his
mare, by Electo, does not trot in 2:22 or
2:23 this year.
The third annual summer meeting of
the Wellsville Fair Association will be

The Memorial Building Project Dis
cnssed at Length.
There Will be Good Crops Of Apples, Pears,
Plums, Grapes and other Fruits the
Coming Season. Business Transacted.

The regular April meeting of the Stark
county Horticultural society was held
Wednesday at New Berlin in Sponseller's
new hall. Considering the poor roads the
attendance was quite fair and the meeting
was fraught with much benefit and pleas
ure for those who we're present. No ses-
sion was held in the forenoon, the time
until ~ o'clock being spent in informal
social enjoyment. AT the noon hour the
members all gathered around the tables
in the store room below the ball upon
which was spread feast fit for Kings,
At l o'clock President Roth called the
meeting to order and had the minutes OF
the previous session read, after which un-
finished business was taken up. UnCet
this department the project OF memorial
building was taken up. Mr.. A: McGregor
read an interesting paper IN favor OF
memorial building, in which he cited the
advantages of having a county nall
and place to collect and retain
the record Of the soldiers and war relies,
with possibly a museum attached. A mo-
ton was made proposing to favor acoun-
ty tax for a portion of the fund to help
build memorial building.
s. II. Rockhill said he thought the agita-
ton for such structure had commenced
wrong. They should have first awakened
n desire throughout the county for q
building and then IL would have been
time to consider where to get the funds.
Mr.. A. Pontius moved to amend the
motion so as to read in favor of building
n memorial hall. This was carried unan-
imously.
The question of where the money was to
come from was left for future considera-
ton.
Mr.. NJ. Bitter read an excellent paper
giving much valuable information with
regard to the planting of trees and vines.
The committee on orchards reported
that the greater part of the budded peaches
we're dead, but that there will be a good
crop of seedlings, unless they are killed
hereafter. Every indication points to a
good crop of apples, plums, grapes and
other fruits.
The secretery read an interesting circu-
lar from the census commissioner upon
the culture of raisin grapes in this coun
try showing that California was now
meeting with success in that industry and
other parts were also taking up the work.
The circular stated that Ohio had the
largest wine tank in the world.
The idea of cutting the tassel from each
alternate row of corn for the production
of a better crop was discussed and it was
shown that upon the rows thus pruned
the crop generally averaged about 30 per
cent better than on those that had not
been trimmed.
The subject of spraying and fertilizinp
fruit trees was up for discussion and the
prevailing opinion was that to get the best
fruit both should be resorted to in the
treatment of the trees. There was very
fine exhibit of flowers at the meeting, but
no fruit. The next monthly session OF the
society will be held in the township hall
at jackson Centre on the first Wednesday
in Nav.

Something Regarding the Recent
Congressional Election.
A Columbus Correspondent Writes ks-
earding the Speech OF Representatives
John Il. Monnct OF stark County.

A Columbus special to the Plain Dealer
says: "During the campaign and since the
congressional elections much has been
said and written aboutthe corrupt use Of
money In the sixteenth district to secure
the reelection of Major Mckinley. In the
debate on the Australian ballot bill Thurs
day night, Mr.. Monnot of Stark CHARGED,
as reported in the Plain Dealers specials,
that voters wero paid to move from Min.
erva, Carroll county, across the line into
stark county for the express purpose of
voting for Major Mckinley. He challeng-
ed Representative Kean, the honorable
member from Carroll, TO deny his asser-
ton. Everyone looked for denial from
that gentleman before the debate closed,
but II was humiliating fact that, instead
OF denying the allegations made By Mr..
Monnot, the gentleman from Carroll, to-.
ward the close of the evening session, got
up and admitted the truth of the
statement. His admission OF this
charge would seem to lend color to the
| many other charges of corruption in that
campaign and brands the Republicans of
that district az among the most corrupt in
| the country. The statement of Mr.. Mon
not that one manufacturing establish
| ment in the district put $27 600 in the cam
paign TO secure rthe election of Mckinley
| and that another manufacturing concern
discharged every one of its employees who
refused to vote as their employers dictated
| also went unchallenged from the Repub-
lican side OF the house. While to some
| the line of argument pursued by MIR. Mon.
not was apparently not germape to the
| subject under consideration, itgununes-
tionably had considerable weight with
those who doubted the corrupt use OF
money and, no doubt, induced several
members to vote for the Australian ballot
| bill, SO that in future elections the elec-
tors will be enabled to mark their tickets
in secrecy end vote for whornsoeven they
please without, fear of discharge Big aheir
high protective BOSSES. "

THE OHIO SITUATION.
A pisinteresteda View From an Outside
Political Scientist ofLarse experience.
From the Phnsdephia Times ndependent

From the Phnaoeiphia Times mdependtnh
As Ohio Is obvious 10 be the political
storm centre OF 1891, because of the GER
tainty of McKinley's candidacy against
Governor Campbell, the municipal elec,,
tions held on Monday last were contested
with unusual earnestness aud the results
looked for with absorbing interest. Both
sides fought for position for the desperate
Gubernatorial battle of next fall that will
involve not only the Mckinley tariff law
but McKinley's Presidential hopes, and q
United States Senator to succeed the
veteran Sherman.
Badly as the Democrats were handi.
capped by Governor Campben's bold
battle with the Democratic boodlers of
Cincinnati, the result of the municipal
to Mckinley. Cincinnati, the key TO the
political situation in Ohio, elected Re-
publican Mayor by a nominal majority of
| about 100, beinga Republican loss of $500
| on the party majority of last fall, when
there was flood-tide against the Bepubli-
cans. The other Republican, candidates
are chosen by majorities ranging from 200
| to 1900, excepting the nominees for Cor
| poration Counsel, who swept down an
| odious gas combine, that made an issue
| in his defeat, by some 900. The result in
Cincinnati proves that Hamilton is fair
| ly debatable county and that gives little
4 hope for the success of Mckinley.
In Cleveland, the next most important
political centre, VIM. G. Rose, Republican
(once Representative in our Legislature
from the Venango district,) is elected
mayor by nearly 5000, which is an increase
on the majority OF the present Republican
mayor, and the Democrats elect the city
treasurer by 1000. There is little or no
change in Cleveland to promise victory
for Mckinley next fall.
In Columbus, the third important polit.
ical centre, the Democrats gained sweep
ing victory, obtaining control of the en-
tire city government for the first time in
fifteen years. There we're local issues
| which favored the Democrats, but when a
preliminary battle was on hand that must
forecast results next November, local Is.
sues would not have been potential against
the supreme necessity of party advantage,
IL the party had been in fighting trim.
There is s,nothing in these results to de.
eide the political attitude of Ohio with any
degree OF certainty; but the fact that there
have been no material Republican gains
and some serious Republican losses on the
vote of last year, when there was general
Republican disaster and less than 10000
majority in Ohio, clearly indicate that
there is no actual rebound in the Buckeye
State in favor of Mckinley and his oppres.
siye tariff. The logic of the local elections
in Ohio is that the State is fairly debatable
with chances rather against the success OF
| Mckinley.

-[Teutonc wrestler,
NEW YORK, April 10, 199l.-When the
year has progressed as far as the mid
die of April, IL seems as though we
were almost in the beginning OF summer.
But tho the new spring suits are out in
force any fine day, then there is still a
rawness-s suspicion OF chill in the air,
which necessitates that the gowns shall
be supplemented by some kind of wrap
Now in former seasons, with the excep-
ton of last Spring, it has been almost
universally conceded that the. only really
smart garment for woman, who still pre-
tends to youthfulness, is the close-ftting
small coat OF Jacket. This of course has
not lost it's popularity--nor ever will, so
long as IL is one Of the Redfern special
ties--for certainly nothing else so well
shows off fine figure, but IL is just now
temporarily eclipsed by the new cape
wrap-a garment which seems capable OF
infinite variations, and of very effective
ornamentation. The latest models as de-
signed by Redfern are so fitted in the back
that they outline the figure as perfectly as
a coat, they are of a length to cover the
hips, and have the graceful, hanging cape
sleeves, and the fronts hang loosely and
often spring open to show the elegant lin
| ing Of figured or changes bic silk.

The one here pictured is of this shape,
and is made Of light grey faced cloth,
elaborately trimmed with an applique of
white cloth embroidered in white and sill
yer. The hat is one of the stylish conti-
nentals and is of white chip with silver
galloon on the upturned brim, and full
trimming of gray ostrich tips.
All sorts of hats are to be worn this
spring, but for travelling and seaside wear
the sailor hat may still claim preference.
Those that have already appeared, are
however radically different from their fell
lows of last season. They have absurdly
small brims and very large crowns, but
this shape is more generally becoming
with the high dressed hair. Some people
still cling to the old-fashioned sailor, but
these, ii is needless to say, are not those
who are really in the swim. To be ex-
ceedingly fashionable, it is necessary to
wear something that differs, in however
minute degree, from the style of a season
ago. The latest fad just now is for beauty
to walk abroad adorned with locks as sill
very gray as those on the heads of our
grandmas. Women have discovered that
nothing is so becoming to a faded COM
pleXion, and that a few silver threads
among the gold really enhance the youth
fulness, and lend a piquancy to even blase
comliness. So now we may expect TO
meet women of all ages and degrees,
wearing the silver crown, instead of the
golden halo, that for the last few years
has held the place of favorite in the super
lative degree.

MARRIED sIxTY-sIx YEARS. ,
A Stark County Couple Who Have No
Trouble in Beating the Record.

An article appeared in the Waynesburgh,
Pa, Republican, boasting of the claim to
the oldest married couple in that state. The
article states that David Sickle and Nary
Sickle, of Morris, Pa, were married in
1926, and have therefore been married
sixty-foar years. Ohio, as usual, can go
Pennsylvania one better, there being
within the borders Of Stark county a
couple who we're married in 1926. Joseph
Doll and Mary Doll, of Osnaburg, were
married in March, 1925, and are now in
good health and apparently as happy as
when they first took unto themselves the
marital yoke. The combined ages of the
couple is 173 years, Joseph being SO and
his wife 81. Mrs. Doll was the first white
woman born in Stark county, having
been born in Osnaburg township. Mr..
Doll had family of five children,
two of whom are now living. They are
Mrs. Belle Eyster who lives north CT
this city, and Ignatius Doll, of Canton.

here. II is claimed by some Republican
papers in Canton, Massillon and Cleye-

Amos Mase, who was elected Township
Treasurer over A. Sisterhen, lis Democrat
who has never voted a Republican ticket,
