II was thought yesterday that tho demo-
cratic members would be present today ana

various Industries affected. II was do
cided. however, to postpone tho meeting
Of the full committee until next week
The conference Of tho republican mem
but nothing was definitely decided

length the question of tho hearings TO be

| al oplnion was that Il fixed programme for
hearing on the several schedules should
DO arranged, beginning on December 81.
As these hearings will be before the full
committee II was decided to wait until
Monday when the democrats were prcsent

remarks by calling brief attention 10 the
several important events which have oc-
CURED In mat country during the last few
years, and which have attracted the at
tention OF the entire world.
The partition of Africa within the last
ten years among the nations OF Europe.

The docket at the coming term

indictments. We will publish a
list of the cases next week.
We had hoped to see goodly
amount of grading done on the
streets of Toledo by this time. The
season is now getting far advanced
and we hope that the street work
will be pushed in time to get some
much needed work done yet this
season.
When the state teachers insti-

excursion to Toledo should be made
one of the features of the occasion.
There will be teachers from all
over the state present during that
meeting and the delightful ride up
the river would be source ofmuch

advertisement of our hospitality
would be OF benefit to ourselves.
