The thick and thin supporters of the
President are now taking the ground
that he never contemplated the use Of
force in Hawaii. That shows that they
have become convinced that such a pro-
ceeding would be indefensible. A while
ago they practically admitted that such
was his intention and defended it.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER is.

The rumors concerning President
Cleveland's health have started again.
They do not seem to emanate from any
very definite or reliable source, and are
contradicted. Yet the country has known
from long experience that when such
rumors persist in circulating it is gener-
ally because there is some truth in
them.

Gov. sLlwelling thinks his order to the
selectmen of Kansas towns not to set
tramps at work has made him solid with
the la boring men. Very likely it has
with the professional laboring men, but
we don't believe the real laboring men
enjoy being taxed to support a lot of
able bodied tramps in idleness when
there is work for them to do.

coming to Kaxanna


Prof. Clarke Oaks. one of the most scientific
and practical Opticians late of New York. will
remain at Hotel Etna. Ravenna. June u, Is, a.
Is. 16 andI7 Scientific examination of the eyes
made fr~e.
The tradition that dog cannot be run over,
was overcome this forenoon, on Main street,
when Rev. FIR. ]. ]. Farrell rode his bicycle over
the PROSTATE bodies of two yelping CANNES that
failed to get move on them in time to avoid
the wheels. The Reverend gentleman barely
escaped header, and as it was, went to earth
very promptly.
Council was confronted with two designations
last night-those of w. S. Krake, the newly ap-
pointed Fire Chief, and Peter Richards. Corpo-
ration teamster. After considerable discussion,
it was decided to leave the matter of Fire Chief
in the hands Of the Fire Committee, and that OF
to report next Tuesday evening, to which time
an adjournment was made.
Rev. o. A.. Richards officiated at the funeral
of ]. M. Stewart, held at the house of the de-
ceased mans brother William, south of town
at o'clock last Friday. In his remarks he gave
the following brief sketch of Mr.. Stewards life :
| Jefferson M. Stewart was born in Milton,
Mahoning county. Ohio. January 9TH. Is43
died at Ravenna Ohio, June 9TH 1893, aged 50
years and months.
In his earlier years he spent some time in
school at Hiram, fitting himself for teaching AN
avecation which he entered upon at the age of
~. Later he turned his attention to the law,
and studied some time in the office of Judge
Fuller. of Warren, Ohio. When he left this
place he entered the Law School of the Michi-
gan State University at Ann Arbor, and gradu-
ated with honor at the age of 2r. He entered
upon the practice of his chosen profession in
Cleveland. and for more than twenty-five years
was known and honored as one Of the leading
members of the Cuyahoga County Bar.
He was man of high mental powers, pop
ular political speaker, and of genial, generous
warm-hearted nature. that won him host oi
friends, and made him power atsthe bar and
in political life.
He was married in 1876 to Carrie Mack, and
became the father of son, who survives him.
The last years eff his life were clouded with
misfortunes, not the least of which was the pc
culiar nervous ailment which marred his mental
powers, uniting him for business. and finally
proved the cause of his death.
He left the scene of his labors and successes
at Cleveland some three years since, and spent
the remainder of his life with his aged mother
on the home farm. His great desire was thai
he might be restored to health, and take his
place in active life again. But this hope was
not to be realized. A will above ours decreed
otherwise, and it becomes US to bow humbly to
His mandate. and trustfully say, He doeth al
things well.''

John sorensen & Co.

Among the business houses of Ravenna which
have advanced from small beginnings to proper
tions of prosperous and rapidly growing magni-
| tude. is the establishment of JOHN SoRENsEN Il
| Co.. Plumbers and Pipe Filters and manufactur-
ers of Water and Gas Supplies.
| July 18th. 1885. JOHN SoRENsEN came to Ra-
VIENNA from Canton. Ohio. to lay the water mains
of this city at the time the present system Of
ter works was put in. After completing his con-
| tract. which included the entire city mains. he
leased the building known as the old Bond shop.
on South Meridian Street. in which he opened q
Plumbing ami Gas Fitting establishment. In
1887 he purchased the property and made some
important changes and enlargements. The old
shop was moved to the rear. and in its place was
erected neat two-story Office and store room of
brick. The business continued to increase very
| rapidly. necessitating further enlargements and
increased equipment of the plant.
| In May. 1892, he associated with himself in the
| business E. S. CoMsToCK. of this city, the new
/ firm introducing themselves as JOHN SORENsEN
| & Co. The new plant was again enlarged, and
the manufacture of Water and Gas Supplies
added to the business. This required the intro
duction of steam power and lot of new ma
| chinery. including large planer. drill machine.
| turning lathe. &C.: and today no more complete
plant of its kind can be found anywhere.
Steady employment is furnished to eight men
the year through. which number is increased
during the busy seasons.
A further Indication of what they are doing.
will appear in the statement that they have
worked over time constantly for the past eight
months, and have never known what it means to
shut down day for lack of business. and are
now maturing plans for still further enIarging
their plant.
Their reputation is firmly established on the
solid basis of honest work and honest dealing.
The stamp of their workmanship is sufficient
evidence of its first class character.
Among their more important outfits are the
famous Ravenna" Gas Stove and their Pipe
Cutting Machine, both inventions of Mr.. SoR-
ENsEN. and in which they are having a splendid
trade. They also make the Carbon Moulds for
the Globe Carbon Works of this city. and have
just completed the Pipe Fitting at the Turner
Dye Works. of which they had the entire con-
tract. amounting to several thousand dollars.
They also fitted out the Globe Carbon Works
and the Ravenna Shoe Factory.
This firm has the exclusive agency for the cell
ebrated Gurney Hot Water Heater. in which they
have built up an excellent trade. It can be used
in country. village. and city alike. and is one of
the best Heaters in the market. They expect
soon to be in readiness to manufacture their own
Radiators.
We are particularly pleased to note the pros
perity of such establishments. having their orr
gin right here in Ravenna and being developed
by Ravenna brains and capital.
The gentlemen are to be heartily commended
for the enterprise which has given to our city
another growing industry.
