The Fire Alarm

The fire alarm this morning at 6 o'clock was turned in from the resi- dence of Col k. NJ. Knox and was occasioned by the burning of a flue. No damage was done but q great deal of excitement prevailed in the community. The fire service re sponded promptly though they had no work of any consequence to do. The horses had 4 good run and the boys a good airing. Perhaps it is very well that the service be called out occasionly so that the company will not forget their duties and re- responsibilities.

FACTS AND FIGURES
To Show that Straight Democratic Ticket Can Be Elected in lief
 ferson County.

The advocates of a compromise claim that q straight ticket cannot be elected in Jefferson county with out fraud In answer to this we de- sire to quote the result of the cleo tions two years ago, as follows:

 of Washington township thrown out

 Votel .....- ...s....... 1,5i5
 Iotal----.-... ...-. .,.,..----....... 2,Ol4
 When it is remembered that there were large number of Democrats who scratched Fishback, it is ap- parent that his vote did not rep resent the full voting strength of the party. It is also to be taken into consideration that the last election was held before the poll tax amend ment became a part of our Constitu- ton. and that the Republicans polled q much larger vote last year than they can ever do again. From these facts it is apparent that the Demo- crats can fairly and honestly elect q straight ticket. Ii is also to be cop- sidered that there are large number of Republicans who would prefer to seea straight Democratic ticket than another compromise with the Jones faction of bolters.

Muskr.t Arainst woodehuck.

A Pennsylvania farmer was taking
a walk along the banks of a creek when
he scared up woodchucS, which gave
a whistle and started at a lively canter
for its burrow, few rods up the bank.
At the same time, big musl1rat, which
had been nosing around in the grass
and weeds, made a dash for the water
and the two animals came in collision.
This seemed to arouse their animoSity
instantly and make them forget their
fear; so they began to bite, scratch and
squeal, as if bound to kill each other.
The muslxrat kept working the wood
chuck toward the creek, but it finally
broke away, and was retreating when
the musbrat collared it again. The
fight was then renewed with increased
fury, but the musl5rat was the victor.
In less than bwo minutes it had the
woodchuck in the pool, and there held
it under water until it was drowned.
Then it flung the carcass on a stone
and swan out of sight under the roots
of a birch.-Golden Days

COXEY'S ARMY.
It Commences It's March Toward
Washington.
LESS THAy A HUNDRED OF THEN.
Military Discipline the Rule-Be1ief That
MIR. Coxey Intends to Desert the
Army-Bets offered Tha. the
Army VIII Disband.

CANTON, O., March 26.-In the face
of sharp, cold wind that brought
shivers to the frames of well-clad peo-
pie, Coxeys army marched eight miles
yesterday on the road to Washington.
There were a few less than a hundred
of them. Not to exceed a dozen had
overcoats or gloves They had slept
the night before on pallets of straw in
the airy and cherries circus tent, and
they were greeted yesterday morning
by the disagreeable discovery that no
detailed arrangements had been made
for feeding them Several hundred per-
sons watched their departure from Mas
sillon- About 8, 600 persons assembled
at the temporary camp at Reedurban
and a host greeted the crusaders at
Canton. A heavy snow storm set in be-
fore the details of the camp had been
completed and the trampers were hud-
died around roaring camp fires. About
two-thirds of the men enlisted made
the trip.
One group of five men ran away in a
body after breakfast and boarded a
passing freight train. Thirty of the
commonwealers spent the night as
dodgers at the Massillon police station.
They comprised two entire groups, who
could not be found when they were
needed for picket duty. They were on
hand for breakfast At o'clock Mar
shall Louis Smith summoned the men
to come together and they were found
to number eleven groups They were
organized into a commune. Smith
drilled them on the meadows for half
an hour. He has added several formal
tiles of military discipline to the rules
of the commouweal. One of them is
the plan of having them march in files
of two, and a more surprising innova-
ton is the adoption of military salutes
Two hours before the time for de-
parture the tents were pulled down
and preparations made for the trip.
Outsiders were directed to leave the
field and await the cOmmonweal on the
main streets of the town. Camp
wagons and saddle horses were brought
in from CoXiana, and the soldiers had
a busy time of it. A diversion was
caused by bulletin from Coxiana an
nouncing that a steamer loaded with
recruits had just passed that point
laden with recruits from Canton. The
steamer made the trip of nine miles in
two and half hours, but only few
men from Canton were enrolled.
There is we'll defined belief that
Mr.. Coxey intends to desert the army
here next Tuesday, and go to Chicago
on the evening express Last Thurs
day while returning from Pittsburgh
Coxey asked a railroad official of this
city at what time the evening west
bound train was due to leave here.
When informed it left at $40 he said he
would be compelled to go to Chicago
Tuesday night, as he had several trot-
tiers there that he wanted to sell at a
horse sale on Wednesday. He said he
expected to return and take charge of
the army again at Beaver Falls on Sun
day. Bets were offered here of two tC
one, with no, takers, that the army
would disband before they reached
Pittsburgh.

High Pressing Life.

Among the signs that the high pres
sure at which American professional
and business men are living is telling
upon them, the great increase in the
number of sofas and couches to be used
in offices is very interesting to the stu
dent of nerves and nervous diseases.
A generation ago a violent headache or
a feeling of great depression was con-
sidered legitimate excuse for closing
up the office and taking half day off,
if not rest for day or two. Now
there is no time for rests of this char
acter, and the man who is breaking
down from overwork gets a couch in
his Office and takes three or four min
utes or perhaps quarter of an hour S
rest when his brain declines to act A
few days ago l had occasion to call
upon a well known attorney, who, to
my surprise, found lying on a couch
in his Office. l was apologizing and
promising to call again, when he told
me to sit down and he could attend to
me all right. 1 stated my case to him
and he dictated a letter to his stenog-
rapher bearing on the question, ex-
planning to me when he got through
that when he felt played out he could
think much better lying down than sit
ting up.-St Louis Globe Democrat.
