At the meeting Of the council com.
mit.ee on finance last night there was
an interesting discussion Of the neces-
sity for reform in various respects in
the methods Of doing city business. 1t
wassuggested that the water board and
gas board could be consolidated to ad-
vantage, so as to save salaries Of secre-
tarles and clerks and other expenses.
1t was also the opinion Of the commit
teo that direct tax should be levied to
pay for the lighting of the city streets.
As tho changes talked Of would
require legislation at Charleston at the
next session OF the legislature, 1t was
decided to present the matter to coun-
Gil at Its next meeting, with Wow to
having the necessary bills drawn up.
A question came up in regard TO the
city collectors bill for stationary. This
bill was rejected by the committee on
accounts, aud then sent to council,
which referred 1t to this committee.
After some discussion tho committee
recommended that II be rejected.
Tho bonds and coupons paid by the
commissioners OF the compromise loan,
loans OF II, 81, 'S5, and tho two Main
street bridge loans, were examined and
found to tally with the commissioners
accounts. Tho salaries aud commits
sions were ordered pail.
The claim Of william Crogan for $3.50
damages, was returned to council with
the Recommendation that It be referred
to tho committees on claims and streets,
alleys aud grades.
A proposition to tax telephone and
telegraph companies on different basis
was preached. The city clerk was re-
uuested to write to other cities and as
certain how they levied taxes on these
properties.
A petition was received from Messrs
Woimer and Els. who live around the
hill, on the city limits, for rebate Of
the toll they paid on tho National road.
This was granted, and the committee
recommended that the county commits

"a" pio-iAme Newspaper Gives an
Account Of His Journey West.
A copy of the Geneva Gazette Of
Oct. 3, 1921, has some points which
may interest my readers. The entire
sheet is about the size of one page Of
an ordinary PAPER, and it was pub
llshed weekly by Joseph BOgart at
700 4 year. As a curious coincidence
! may mention that seven columns are
devoted to the constitutional cOnven-
ton then in session at Albany, the
leading mar being Martin Van Buren,.
A number Of merchants advertise their
goods, and | noted that iron is &c a
pound and nails 10c. 'Sweeny's luck

lowest prize being S12, while the high

land for sale III Nunda and Angelica,
and payment can be made in farm

however, in the ancient sheet is the

the following route from Toledo to
Chicago, which is thus given in the
Geneva Gazette. Gen. CasS, on his
route to Chicago, assembled the Maui
lice TO Fort Wayne; from thence his
canoe was carried ever a portage of
about nine niles to the head Of the
Wabash. This river he descended TO
the Ohio and then descended the Ohio
to the Mississippi. The latter he as
cended to the mouth Of the Illinois, M
of whose tributaries approaches with

viii see that In order to avoid a land
journey Of 300 miles through a wilder,
ness. q circuitOus course five times that
distance was endured. In this man
urr the government agent reached Chi
cago where he bad a council with the
Indians. The direct journey can now
be made in rs many hours as 1t then
took weeks, and during the extraordi-
nary canoeing the party probably lived
on fish and game. The route took them
past st. Louis, and yet this was then
the easiest and safest way of reaching
tn. dast:r alton. The following local
items from the Gazette are also OF in

hended the 18th within the village Of
Rochester for attempting to pass coun-

JOHN NEWELLIS DEAD
THE WELL KNOWS RAILROAD MAN
DIES SUDDENLY.
He Was President of the Lake shore
and Was at One Time the Engineer
of Construction of the Winonn a.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 27.-John' New

hallway company, ditd at Youngstown,
Ohio, yesterday afternoon of apoplexy.
MIR. Newell "a ut Pittsburg Saturday
and he was Oh his way from hat city
to Cambridgeboro, Pa, for a few days
rest when he was taken Ill. When his
special car reached Youngstown he was
too i'll To proceed further. A physician
was called and he was removed to a
hotel. He was then seized With apo-
plexy, his left side being paralyzed.
Physicians Were summoned from this
city and Pittsburg, but they could do
nothing for him. His daughter, Mrs.
James A. Garfield Of Mentor, was
called by telegraph, and she reached
her fathers bedside at noon, with her
brother, John Il. Newell OF Cleveland.
de was still conscious at hat time, but
could not speak. Death came painless
ly W and a half hours later.
MIR. Newell was siXty-four years OF
age. He entered the railway service
In 1916 as a rodman and was afterward
assistant engineer Of the Central Yer
mont railway. In 1851 he worked on
h extension Of the Champlain a. St.
Lawrence railway, and in 1852 and
5 D he surveyed the routes of railroads
from Louisville to Cincinnati and from
Saratoga to Sackett's Harbor, n. Y.
In 1890 he was engineer of the old
Cairo city railway, and from 1856 to
1860 engineer of maintenance of way
OF the Illinois Central railway. From
1868 to 1868 he vas president of the
Cleveland Il Toledo railway, now a
part of the Lake Shore, and during the
next succeeding year engineer and
superintendent of the New York Cen
tral. He was engineer of construction
OF the Winona X st. Peter in Mime
sofa. From 1869 to 1871 he was vice
president of the Illinois Central, and
Tor three years after that president OF
Il same road. In 1879 he became gen
eral manager of the Lake Shore, and
since 1883 he has been both president
and general manager of the same road.
AT the time of his death he was also
president of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie
and Toledo & Ohio Northern railroads.
Mr.. Newell was an indefatigable work
er, and 1t is doubtful if there was an
other railroad man in the country who
had so great a capacity for work as he.
He was a strict disciplinarian, and it
was his aim to make the Lake Shore
in its service and equipment, the best
railroad in the country.

Charles Ermisch Makes n Break for
Liberty.

st. Paul, Aug. 27.-Charles Ermisch,
one of the condemned murderers OF
William Lindhoff, made n desperate eff
fort TO escape from the county Jail with
his companion Wonigkeit, shooting
Deputy Sheriff Horst through the right
wrist with a revolver which he had OBJ
tanned from his mother, and narrowly
escaping death himself at the hands Of
Deputy Sheriff Frank Picha. 1t was
evidently a prearranged plan prepared
by the prisoners and their mothers, and
failed because Of the faulty aim Of the
prisoner and the presence Of mind and
nerve Of the deputy. AS a consequence
Ermisch and Wonigkeit are now in
heavy irons and closely guarded in sep
arate cells, and a strict watch will be
maintained over their movements day
and night until the hour OF their exc
cution-some time in October. If Gov.
Nelson had any idea OF committing the
sentence Of Ermisch, 1.-The innocent,
misguided boy" as his friends charac-
terized him. the latter has certainly not
improved his chances of escaping the
gallows. Ermisch, by tits last desper-
ate attempt, has shown himself to be
a cool, calculating desperate, and not
the well meaning lad who had been
led astray through the evil influences
of others.

PULLMAN'S COMPROMISE.
How the Car shops Town Comes to
pernetuate Two Mems Names.

! The newspaper bioGrt pliers of George
NJ Prllman all sc n to have assumed
that the town of Pullman was named
after the Duke himself. That was a
! natural mistake, perhaps, but none the
, less a mistake. At least this story,
which was current in Chicago fiftc"n
years ago, contains a different theory.
The architect of Pullman was w. w.
Remain. He was justly proud of his
work and ~justiiedly Al xicus to he iden-
| tilted with IL in the memory OF poster
sty. So one day, soon after the town
was completed, he came to the pro-
prietor and said:
"AIr. Pullman, If you haven't decided
ON any name for the new town what
do YOU think Of calling II 'Beman,' from
the man who designed itT'
"Um-m," said the magnate. Fact
Is. I had tllor ght Of calling the place
Pullman from the man who built 1t
and paid for 1t.
N1Iowever," Mr.. Pullman added. as
he observed q look of disappointment
on the architects face-"Howeyer, I'm
not particular. Now what do you say
to n compromise? Suppose we take tie
firrt SYLLABLE Of my name, Pull and
the second syllable Of your name, man
There we have it. Pull 'man'-'Pull-
man" You see, that combines your
idea with mine
Mr. Pullman's suggestion prevailed,
and the name, /; seems, Is a eompro-
mise.

bllght that has withered It's manufacturing

Republican party which got something for
the country at large in exchange for what
ever advantage was accorded foreign ma

Its due share in the product to which ID

occurrence of any conflict between labor and

demagogue designed to foment and intensity
these conflicts, and most earnestly disap-
prove the use Of private armed forces in
any attempt to settle them. We believe
that an appeal to the law and its officers
Is amply sufficient to protect property and
preserve the peace, and a reference to
legally created or amicably chosen boards Of
arbitration the best method OF adjusting all
disagreements out OF which these conflicts
have arisen. Feeling that American citi.

Jobbers Are Encouraaca

st. Paul, Aug. 27.-Fourteen Of st.
PauTs jobbers in various lines were in
teryiewed relative to the trade outlook
for this city and Minnesota. The GEN
eral business outlook is good, according
to the reports Of the jobbers. While
the cash receipts in dollars and cents
are, perhaps, not so great as in 1892 at
this time Of the year, yet the amount
Of goods handled is larger. In almost
every ease OF this marked improvement
was laid TO the fine crops and the fact
that retailers had sold down on their
stock so closely that replenishing be-
came absolutely necessary.

was arraigned in the police court on a
charge of assault in the first degree.
He is accused of shooting a lad named
Warren Bowen with a shotgun. The
shooting occurred near the fish hatch
cry last week. Young Bowen,i it appears,
was gathering plums from a tree which
stands near the highway. Thielen, 1t
Is alleged, ran out OF a house near by
and fired the contents of both barrels
of a shotgun at Bowen, completely fill
ing the boys left side with bird shot
The boy managed to crawl home, and
was taken to the hospital, where ne has
since been retained under treatment.

Raised French Mustard.

Aberdeen, S. d., Aug. 27.-Last spring
5. ID. Cone, local agent of the Great
Northern railway, who is always ex-
p~erimenting with new products on his
farm, concluded to try French mustard.
He had some difficulty in getting the
seed, the retail price at the drug stores
being 40 cents a pound. He secured
ten bushels Of seed at a cost of $1,000
per bushel. The quantity was sown on
forty acres. Yesterday he threshed the
crop and saved seventy-six bushels. The
plants matured rapidly during the last
ten days, and he did not get it cut
soon enough to prevent a good deal
Smelling out. He estimates that ut least
half the seed was lost on this account.
He figures the yield TO be worth over
500. Next season he intends putting
n a hundred acres. Mr.. Cone believes
in variety on a farm, and says that ex-
periments will bring a good many prof
liable products to the front, since wheat
has become SO low in price.
