Carl Browne has embraced another OPP
portunity to tell how bad place Wash
ington is. He has just written letter of
warning and sympathy to Charles A.
Dana, of New York, in which he says:
81 sympathize with you If they ever get
you into the District of bia-Cleve-
land Is simply Car there. The judges are
creatures of his august will, the juries are
like machines, and the jails are run on
contract, and what can be made out of
prisoners by them. The contractors get
so much u head TO feed prisoners and of
course the more there are in Jail the more
the contractors make Consequently the
sells are always filled and If there is no
one else to I'LL them with, they simply
run in colored man on any charge, and
the game goes on. They will probably
put you in the same cell that Brother
COXey and myself occupied and charge
double for you and the Sun that shines
for all but Grover"

An Alliance newspaper man sent out
Got r1ax tfrl,f win
ing the heavy storm last night millions
of angle worms fell, making pavements
so slippery that it was nearly impossible to
walk on them"
If this is true it is almost equal to the
shower Of quail that came down upon the
children of Isreal when they were starv-
ing in the desert But a Canton man who
is posted on angle worms says he would
like TO know where these millions (, IL
from. He is inclined to think the dis
patch is one of the effects of the abolition
of Alliances dry ~ ordinance.

as Emma Werner, and her home as Guy
ahoga Falls came to Canton yesterday on
train No. 3 on the Ft. Wayne. She had
been she said, to Lebanon, Pennsylvania,
to attend the funeral Of her mother.
When she started home her brother asked
her If she had money enough to see her
home. She told him she had her ticket,
but did not tell him she had but 10 cents
besides. She. was told that she would
make close connections at Canton with her
train for Akron and so supposed she
would not need any more money. In ar
riving in Canton she spent her last nickle
to pay her street car fare to the Valley
railway only to find she could not get to
Akron until Thursday morning. She
walked back to police headquarters and
told her story to Officer Battin. Jims
heart is as big us he is and after hearing
the story and thinking the matter over
he took Mrs. Werner to the Conrad hotel
and paid for room for her. Mrs. Werner
was greatly affected by his kindness and
the officer made haste to escape from her
thanks. 1t will be quite while before
she attempts to make another long trip
with only fifteen cents more than her rail
road fare
