May Eldridge took the prize in Glass A. and
Miss Carrie Cooley in Glass B. All did well
in both classes that the judges had hard work to
decide whose exercise was best. The playing of
the Weaver children was characteristic of their
superior ability as accomplished musicians. and
each number received an encore. The Ravenna

The Farmers Alliance County Convention in
this place last Saturday was large and enthusi-
astic meeting and it is pretty evident that poll
tics forms a very important factor in the makeup
of the organization. The meeting was called to
order by W. j. Weaver. Pres. of the Co. Alliance
and Sec L. B. Reed read report of the Windham
meeting, May 9Th. The usual Committees were
appointed. Pres. Weaver. who is a red hot third
party man. then reported the Columbus conven-
tion, and speeches were made by W. R. Dron-
berger, of Rootstown, Mr.. Shellenbarger, of Suf-
field, who claims the glory of having organized
the first Alliance in the county; Pardee. of Wind
ham. and H. A. Austin, of Rootstown. ..and the
meeting adjourned for dinner.
In the afternoon Mr.. Shepherd was elected
Secretary. vice Reed who was called home. On
recommendation of the committee on credentials
the meeting was turned into a Farmers Mass
Convention. Pres. Weaver made lengthy ad-
dress. in the course of which he said that per-
son going into the Alliance with the expectation
of finding no politics within the fold would jump
into hornets nest. He was followed by II. F.
Hixson. editor of an Alliance paper in Canton
who made long speech. and informed his hear
ers that the press and pulpit were bribed. We
suppose he meant against the F. A. He wanted
the K. L. and F. A. to stop wrangling and get
together"
W. R. Dronbarger and ]. II. Way then passed
the hat. and from the farmers dollars therein de-
posted IS was paid to Hixson. Then Cornelius
Baldwin. of Nelson. spoke at great length. prem
ising his remarks by saying that he did not care
to be identified with the Prohibitionists again
because they espoused only one cause.
Thirteen delegates to the State Convention a
| Springfield were then chosen.
Austin then spoke again. saying that in spite o
subsidized press. the State organization had in
creased 1000 in Ohio since its birth.
Doolittle announced meeting at Streetsboro
tomorrow evening. to be addressed by Hixson.

ATWATER. June 22-The friends of John G,
Hall will be pleased to know he is still alive
and able to raise his objections against heresy,
think he is the same man who interrupted Mr.
Hills in his sermon, for faulting the Puri-
tans for hanging the Quakers, for matters of
opinions. Mr.. Hall was certainly in the wrong.
He might as well undertake to justify them in
hanging witches and banishipg Anne Hutchin-
son and Roger Williams, the latter in the win
ter while the ground was covered with snow.
He went from the homes of Christian Pul'itans
to the wigwams of savage Indians. and was
kindly welcomed and supported till he could do
for himself. There is no use denying that there
are some dark cl uds in the lives of the Puritans
that no candid man is bound TO justify. There
are also some conclusions in the Presbyterian
catechism which the Scriptures do not warrant
Mr.. John G. Hall will get badly snubbed before
he gets through with this undertaking. Mr..
Sprecher is as well posted as he is and DR..
Haydn will oppose MIR. Ii all, and others will do
the same thing. have not seen DR.. Sprecher's
first sermon, but in his second he opposes. sud-
den and passive conversion. Something like
the old Presbyterian doctri ne of once converted
always converted. This. think is contrary to
Pauls belief where he speaks of such as have
good experiences of christian life. if they
should fall away it would be impossible to re-
store them. This looks to me that a converted
man may fall away, and that careful watching
is necessary. As Paul says keep under my
body lest while preach TO others myself may
become castaway, Does anyone doubt Paul's
conversion2 Some things need revising in the
confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church.
Some old wheel horses have been so accus toned
to hold back they think nothing has been learn
| ed since they studied the catechism. Others,
| like DR.. Haydn and DIR. Sprechor have not so
| much reverence Tor it. Others again like DR..
Briggs, who are good Hebrew scholars. think

Sugar Notes.

Cane is coming in regularly, and il
sufficient quantities 10 keep the mil
busy.
The per cent. of sugar is again up tC
high standard. VIM. Kinkead, whose
cane tested IL per cent. two weeks ago
stopped hauling in order to put in a
crop of wheat. Last Monday he took a
sample of his cane to the mill, to see if
it would do to haul in, and it tested
1850 per cent. He began hauling the
next day.
No shipment of sugar has been made
since our last issue. There is about
10000 pounds of sugar on hand, waiting
for the state sugar Inspector.
Frank Holmes, who has been acting
as sugar inspector for the state and for
the government, is now acting only fol-
the government. 1t was thought best
TO have two inspectors, Mr.. Geo. Kel-
logg is the state inspector, and he is
expected here to-day.
Two big loads of cane were brought
in from the Field farm few days ago.
One weighed s,040 pounds, and the 9TH
er weighed 1910 pounds. Both loads
are net cane, and were delivered with
three horses.
The men who manipulate the yaryan
were wearing smile yesterday, the

They discovered a new process for
cleaning the machine. They now heat
it up thoroughly, and then force cold
water through it. The sudden change
of temperature breaks the scale, aud it
is then flushed out. The new process
| requires about three hours, while the
old process required "a hours.
At the government station they are
making some second" Sugar. Tests
nave nnt Geen so accurately made as to
settle the question definitely as to the
amount OF second" that will be made
per ton of cane, but it is thought that
% pounds will not be too high an esti-
mate. Already tests have secured
from ten to thirty pounds.
Five barrels of molasses were receiv-
ed from Fl. Scott, last week, to be
treated by the alcohol process, and
tested for second sugar. This molass-
es had been through the centrifugals
at FIT. Scott. 1t was the worst looking
molasses ever seen in Medicine Lodge.
1t was treated, and q per cent. of filter
cake taken from it. The molasses now
has much better appearance, but is
not yet in a condition to go through the
centrifugals.
Sugar lake is full of water.
