The High School scholars have learned that
they have no boy to deal with, if the teacher is
rather small, at least not six-footer, and the
conclusion is that when they disobey, or refuse
to comply with the reasonable rules, that they
will leave all possible distance between him and
them. At all events they will remember that he
can pull his coat and dof his cuffs on short no
tice, and that they have still neck to choke
until they cry enough and l will behave, and
ask his forgiveness.

Ravenna, Wednesday, Nov. 2s, 1904

THE citizens of Portage County are appar-
emily on the eve of an important era. From
present indications one or more lines Of
electric street railway will traverse various
townships of the county, provided the Com
missioners grant the necessary franchise or
right of way. The Press always favors legit-
innate progress, and we heartily endorse the
projects that promise so desirable realiza-
ton as system of street railways to our
people. But, other things being equal, we
sre also in favor of recognizing home capital
and home enterprise first, and if any choice
is to be made by the Commissioners it would
be but simple justice to favor our own people
first. We are not opposing any company
that desires the right of way in Portage Co
for such an enterprise, but if we areto have
but one let it be the one proposed and pro
NOTED, at least in part, by Portage County
people.

Death of Mrs. j. C. Noble.

Mrs. J. C. Noble passed from earthly life
Monday night, November Goth, 1894, at 1880
O'Clock, at the home of her brother, o. V.
Searl, on North Meridian street, this city.
She was convalescing from severe attack of
pneumonia, which had prostrated her several
weeks previously, when she suffered an ex-
tensive paralysis, from which her enfeebled
vitality could not recuperate, and the patient,
gentle spirit went to its reward.
Funeral services will be held Friday, at 2
o'clock p. M, from the house, Rev. w. G.
Schoppe officiating. The burial will be pri-
vste, Maple Grove being the place of final
interment.
Sophia J. Searl was the eoldestdaughter and
child of Asahel n. and Sophia Skif Searl,
and was born in Otisco, Onondaga Co., N. Y,
in 1926. Her parents and several of the
children moved to Windham, this county, in
1849, and two years later the daughter fol-
lowed them. Here she was married in 1852
to ]. C. Noble, where they resided several
years. They subsequently moved to his
fathers farm, in Freedom township, where
they lived for 20 years, until the death of
her husband. There also they took faithful
care of his parents and her father, the latter
of whom died there. On the death of her
husband, Mrs. Noble came to Ravenna to live
with her brother, o. v. Scarf, and to assume
the maternal nurture and training of his chill
dren, who had shortly before been bereaved
OF mothers loving care. Here she lived
until her days Of mortality were fulfilled, per-
| forming with tender fidelity the duties of her
new responsibility and devoting herself to the
comfort and well being of others. She was
woman of amiability, refinement and un-
selfshness. Her attachment to the children
whom she watched over with constant solici-
tude, was peculiarly strong and affectionate.
In this one particular she rendered service
that will hallow the memory of her earth life
/ to those who were the recipients of her un-
selfish devotion. Her life may be said to have
| been sacrifice for the interests of others.
She was an earnest member of the Congre-
gational Chnrch of this city, uniting by letter
from the Church in Freedom, under the pas
torate of the late Rev. C. A. Stone. She was
thoroughly interested in all Church work,
particularly in that of the missionary depart
ment. Her life and gentle ways endeared her
to all and she leaves name that will remain
enshrined in the hearts of very many friends.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON. D. G., November 23. 1884.
If the level-headed members of the party
are allowed to have their way, and every
thing now seems to indicate that they will,
there is TO be radical change in the meth
DDS pursued by the democrats in Congress
Instead of trying to commit the party to the
support of some measure and then having
to hold caucus to quiet the rumpus thus
raised, as was done entirely too often at the
last session, it is proposed to hold the con-
ferences first in order that there may be no
rumpuses to quiet. In other words, an at
tempt is to be made to confne the washing

what is considered the most realistic stage
representation in the century, entitled '"The

but the company, headed by the graceful

strongest produced in years.

THE hearing of Judge Augustus L. Kicks,
of the U. S. District Court, on the charge
preferred against him by the Central Labor
Union, of Cleveland, was begun Monday in
that city. The allegations briefly summar-
lied, charge him with having defrauded the
Federal Government out of s., ,55S.75, monies
received by him while Clerk of said Court,
which he converted TO his own use and failed
to account for. Other charges were prefer
red Monday, by which the alleged shortage
was increased to over $4,000. The Judge de-
mics all of the allegations and in his answer
explains from his standpoint all of the ap-
parent errors in his accounts with the gov
ernment. He is represented by Judge Ste
phenson Burke, Judge W. B. Sanders, An
drew Squire and Virgil P. Kline, Arnold
Green, Esq, is counsel for the Union.
Let justice be done and no one will have
any right to complain.
W. L. DOUGLAS, of Brocton, Mass, the
world-famed manufacturer of the Douglas
$500 Shoe, has again evidenced his regard
for his employees by providing for their free
medical attendance and treatment. He says
he recognizes the fact that doctors bills are
q hardship to the average laborer, and the
furnishing of free MEDICAL treatment to
each employe not only relieves him of
that much of the burden, but will enable
him to consult physician whenever he is in
need of doing so-something impossible to
very many laboring people under present
conditions. Mr.. Douglas also believes in
and practices arbitration for all industrial
differences between himself and employees.
By the terms of the contract entered into
between them, all such differences are SUBJ
mitted to the Massachusetts, State Board OF
Arbitration, its decision to be final. Mr..
Douglas is entitled to honorable mention for
his action.

Monument Square in the city of Tifin, at 6
O'Clock in the evening of November %, 1894.
He was brave soldier, an able statesman,
a peerless orator, and although an ardent
Republican, a man of the people and for the
people. More such men in public life is
what the country is in need of.

The history of the BUCKEYE CHAIR estab.
lishment has been that of steady develop.
ment ever since its location in Ravenna.
We have had occasion mauy times to call
attention to the additions and increased facil- |
tiles made to the plant, and it is now our
pleasure to mention still further evidences
of the proprietors, Messrs. Flick & Cham
berlin.
Across the road, east from the main build
ing, workmen are busily engaged in COM
pleting a sawmill that will soon be in active
operation. The advantages resulting to the
company from being able to saw out their
own material from the log will be obviously
important, while at the same time the town
and country will profit alike in the establish
ment of market for logs at this place. Oak,
cherry and maple are the principle varieties
used, although there is limited demand for
various other kinds of wood in the manufac-
ture of chairs. The new mill will have
capacity of 5000 to 5000 feet per day. The
entire plant has just been equipped for steam
heating and electric lighting, the dynamo
machine for the latter being of Kent manu-
| facture and claimed to possess greater pro-
portionate power than any on the market
| This is the climax of the busy season in
getting out chairs for the holidays, and a
visit to the various departments revealed
continuous rush of activity. The company
are getting out very beautiful line of ma
hogany goods and are making magnificent
line of sitters for the New York Exposition,
which will be opened about January 1st and
continue several weeks. Mr.. Flick will be
there during the entire exhibit.
The Buckeye seems to be advancing along
the lines of legitimate attainment toward the
acme of competitive success.
Another no less gratifying feature of the
location of this industry in Ravenna is the
identification of its proprietors with the in
terests of the place. They are thorough
Ravennians. Unlike the owners of the
Quaker mills, they are here as citizens of
the town, concerned in its prosperity and
interested in its future attainments. Raven
ma is not only their place of business but ii
is their home. These facts are significant
and we'll worthy of serious mention.

teresting address from the Orator, E. W.
Maxson, Esq. In the course of his remarks
he mentivned a few historical items relative
to the Order at large and Ravenna Council

ton. The Order was organized in Boston,
Mass, June %, 1877. There are 1873 subor-
dinate Councils in the country. Assessment
No. realized $3,0046S. Assessment No.

$263, 900. There were 1877 assessments in II
years. The death benefits paid to Aug. 21,
1894, amounts to $28, ,096 ,502.20.

An alarm of fire was sent in from the P. &
W. depot yesterday afternoon, by G. W. My
ers, manager of the Ravenna Exchange, who
happened to be near there. The grass in the
| lot adjacent to the residence of the late Au-
gust Urban was fired by c. & P. engine,
| and was thought to be approaching danger
| ousIy near the building. The four members
left to the fire department, reinforced by
large contingent of citizen volunteers, hur-
| ried to the scene with the hose cart and 9TH
er apparatus. There was no damage done
by the fire. An alarm from the same place
for the same cause, was sent in during the
year 1898.
