and Ida Bakers houses of ill-fame,
which were pulled Wednesday night,
were given hearings before Mayor
Sheppard and each fined $40 and costs.
There were four men and five women in
all arrested Some of these paid their
fines and were released, but several are
still in Jail. Pat Powers is the name of
an Irishman who was arrested for be-
ing drunk. Pat admitted his guilt and
made fervent appeal to His Honor to
suspend fine and give him chance to
get out Of Benwood. He promised to
leave Immediately, to cross the bridge
and take the first train for Cleveland.
He said he always spent his Thanks
givings with his old mother at home
and he wanted to be with her this

FORE. ARE THEY CONVICTED!
The fact it, the public unless the
refunding ordinance is defeated, and we
believe it will be overwhelmingly de-
feated-will be bilked and robbed, un-
der that proposed measure, simply to
help these gentlemen out of political
hole, and without regard for the best
interests of the city. They took hold
of the city government in January, 1895,
when they found a shortage in some
departments and in the electric light
loan as a result of long series of
years of city administration and after
two and one-half years of hard times
following the panic of 1898. They
promised to reform the city govern
ment, but found that to do this they
must have money. They asked for an
issue of bonds, and were refused by the
people. They then increased taxation
in hard year, and wrung more than
thirty thousand dollars from the hard
pressed taxpayers of this city. They
said they would use this money to
square the city accounts, would give the
people an economical government, and
genuine reform.
DID THEY DO IT? NC!
They never paid dollar of the Gas
Board overcheck of more than $4,000.
They broke their promises and pigeon
holed bills before the year was out.
They violated the provisions Of the re-
straining ordinance. And they have
gone on from bad to worse ever since,
until, Notwithstanding the increased
taxation of 1895, we find $22, 900 of city
orders outstanding as result of the
operations of 1885,, and Heaven only
knows what will be outstanding at the
end of 1897. Already the revenues for
1897 have been anticipated on North
Market street and on Twelfth street,
and possibly, not to say probably, in
other places. And being in this hope
less hole-not daring to again increase
taxation-they have concocted this out
rageous refunding scheme, and all the
energies of every officeholder at the
City Hall are devoted exclusively to
getting it through and in operation be-
fore the first day of January next, and
if it fails, then comes the deluge.
The present regime at the City Hall
has been a farce, fraud and very
costly thing to the people of this city.
The people should pause and seriously
reflect before they vote on this refund
ing scheme 1t is an outrage on the
taxpayer, a mortgage on the city's fu-
ture and is simply the last despairing
resort of an incompetent and extrava-
CANT city government to conceal its
maladministration and deficiencies from
the people.

THE ELECTRIC SANTA CLAUS

I'LL HAGC IlIC DAN n CLAUS.
The ways of Santa Claus are changed
His RENDERS are no more;
And all his trapings were arranged
Quite differently of yore
Old-fashioned things are laid away,
Or modernized, you see;
And everything is run today
By electricity.
Across the snow he used to skim
With prancing, deers ahead,
But progress now has given him
A horseless car instead.
And now he does not come, they say
Down chimney flues at all;
But has special cathode ray
That lets him through the wall.
And now the presents that he brings
To the merry girls and boys,
Are wonderful electric things,
Instead of simple toys.

MKINLEY'S FIRST SWEETHEART.
Lydia Wadsforth McMoug Tells the
Romantic Story of Her Early Love.

Yes, [ suppose it is true that l was
Mr.. McKinley's first sweetheart. At
any rate, he was my first lover, and we
would have been married but for my
parents opposition"
The speaker was Mrs. Lydia Nc
MCug, of Big Rapids, Mich, who had
at last consented to tell the story OF
the early romantic love passage be-
tween herself and the man who is now
president of the United States. 1t has
long been known in its outline-the
story of the thwarted affection OF
young Mckinley and the beautiful
Lydia Wadsworth, away back in their
golden y~uth in Ohio, when no one
dreamed that the Ambitious but penn1-
less young man, with the dreamers
forehead, but the fine eye of resolution,
would become a great statesman and
executive. If people had guessed it
John and Lydia Wadsworth might not
have refused the young man the hand
of their doughter. They lived in Po-
land, O., the Wadsworths, father,
mother and four children. Little
LYDIA as they called her, was then
sixteen years of age and very pretty.
She had plenty of admirers, for court
ship began early in the middle west
in those days, and a girl of sixteen
was expected to keep company" with
some young fellow. Of them all she
favored but one, a manly, energetic
lad who wooed like a Napoleon and
won, but met his Waterloo at the
hands of the old people.
For Mckinley was poor. He had his
way to make in the world, and to the
shrewd eye of John Wadsworth he did
not appear like a man calculated to
make money. In this judgment Wads-
worth was probably correct, but there
are other ways of succeeding than by
becoming rich. So Wadsworth for
babe Little LYDIA to meet Mckinley
With the usual result. Clandestine
meetings followed, and whispers of a
possible elopement were waited to the
old folks ears. They resolved upon
stern measures.
There was in Poland a young man
named McMoug, who had persistently
wooed the fair Lydia. He was a few
years older than Mckinley and babe
fair to be a prosperous man. His suit
the parents favored. One day they
told Lydia that she must marry Nc
Moug. There was a stormy scene.
The girl vowed she would have the
man of her choice or none, but in the
end she yielded. She promised. and
from that moment her parents knew
their case was won. She was too
honorable to go philandering with any
young man other than the one to
whom she was pledged, and McKinley
was too proud to tempt her further.
So she married McMoug, who has
been to her all that her parents nm
tlclpated. She resolved to forget her
lover. She returned or burned all tho
foolish little tokens that could remind
her OF his bright face. She turned her
eyes resolutely to the future. Today
she is living in Big Rapids with her
husband and two pretty DAUGHTERS
VINO fa1ntly suggest her own beauty
at their age. Their home is cozv and
comfortable, and they have the respect
o. the community and a substantial
part in it's social life.
