STRAWBERRY SHOW
OF the Horticultural SJciety Held at
the Stark County Fair
Grounds.

The strawberry meeting-lacking the
strawberries-of the Stark County Hor-
ticultural Society was held at the Stark
County Fair Grounds on Wednesday
June 18th. The date proved to be too
late for our strawberry growers, they
having marketed their best berries the
week before.
President Hayhurst was in the wind
up of his picking and was unable to be
present, as was also many of our berry
growers and gardeners.
Mr.. II. II. Aultfather the strawberry
chief for this part of the State, unable to
be at the meeting, sent his daughter,
who read the communication which ap-
pears under the head of correspond
ence.
The afternoon attendance was large,
many having taken dinner before leav-
ing home. In the absence of the presi-
dent, Mrs. S. o. Eggert, vice president,
presided, and at one o'clock called the
meeting to order, called the roll of COM
mittees and asked each committee to
have its report ready as soon as posi-
bic.
Treasurer w. B. Shanafelt was asked
to look after membership fees, and Mrs
S. L. Correll, Mrs. J. F. Roth and Mrs.
J. K. Mcdowell were appointed to report
resolutions on the death of Mrs. Lewis
Essig.
Miss Aultfather then read the follow

Tariff and Price of Wool.

Under free wool the price dropped
to y cents per pound. The present
price of wool is due to the Protection
afforded by the Dingley Tariff bill.
The market has now nearly reached
the point at which wool can be i'm
ported under the new Tariff. When
our unwashed wool has reached the
price of about % cents per pound the
full protection afforded by the Dingley
Tariff will have been reached. Under
the Mckinley Tariff of 1SS9-90 the
price of wool was % to "a cents per
pound, which is the highest point it
has reached in II years. Following
this, for period of two years under
Grover Cleveland and no tariff, the
price was about 13 cents per pound
for unwashed wool.
Owing to the Dingley Protective
Tariff the price to-day for unwashed
wool is 20 cents per pound, and with
the return of prosperous times and the
consumption of the enormous amount
of foreign wool brought in under free
duty during the first half of the year
1897 we shall have reached the point
where the wool will receive the full
benefit of the Tariff which will advance
the price of unwashed wool from 2 to 4
cents above the present price. This
will again revive the wool industry in
this country and greatly increase the
next years clip.-Meadville Republi-
can.

Canned Tomatoes.

The statement that large shipments
of canned tomatoes are being made
from Tampa to supply the troops in
Cuba needs some explanation. The
canned tomatoes are not warmed up or
cooked again before using, but are
eaten cold, just as they are taken from
the can, forming very acceptable
ration for men living on bacon, beans
and "taoks," as the hard-tack biscuits
are feelingly referred to. Canned to-
matoes furnish refreshing and palat-
able vegetable supply in concentrated
form. In fact, they take the place of
fruit and vegetables and are often eaten
before breakfast, the soldier in the field
craving food of that sort.

Patriotic Convicts.

Even convicts can be patriotic, as
the prisoners at the Columbus, o.,
penitentiary proved the other morn
ing. They were at chapel when sew
eral members of the naval reserves
belonging to one of the Cleveland
companies entered the hall. Chaplain
Winget was then offering up prayer,
but the pent up enthusiasm of the
prisoners could not wait for the end of
his petition to the throne of grace.
They rose to their feet and despite the
efforts of the guards to quiet them
cheered long and loud for the uni
forms the boys wore. No convict
will be punished for this breach OF
the rules. s.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

What it rlipht SAY.

Said a citizen the other day: 1--WE
expect the local paper to say all of the
good things about US. 1t goes to help
fill up the news columns, and the news
is what the people take the paper for"
Very true, friend, your argument is all
right and very convincing, but did you
consider all the unpleasant things that
the local paper might truthfully say
about you-but doesn't-would sell ten
papers to the complimentary items
one? We regret that human nature is
built that way, but nevertheless it is,
and the fellow making a newspaper in
a community where everybody is sup
posed to know everybody's business
better than his own, finds it much more
dificult to determine what to leave out
of the sheet than what to put in.
Thanks, awfully, for your suggestion;
you mean well, but you don't know.

Decisions Important to County Com
missioners.

Congressman Hicks, at the request of
j. Horace Smith, esq, solicitor for Blair
county, submitted recently to the COM
missioner of internal revenue a ques-
ton as to the liability of county COM
missioners and county treasurers under
the new tax law. Recently Mr.. Hicks
received reply from the commissioner
in which the commissioner says "that
an order drawn by county commission
ers in their official capacity upon the
county treasurer in discharge of the
duties imposed upon them by law is
not subject to the stamp tax"
The commissioner further says as to
the county treasurer: "That the county
treasurer drawing check on the bank
and signing it in his official capacity as
county treasurer, in payment of an
order drawn upon him by the county
commissioners, must be regarded as
the exercise of function belonging to
him strictly as an officer of the county,
and therefore no stamp Is required to
be affixed to such check"
1t has generally been supposed that
when county treasurer deposited his
money in a bank that such deposit was
for the convenience of the treasurer,
and that the checks of the treasurer
would be subject to the stamp tax.
The commissioner, however, holds, as
is noticed by his decision above quoted,
that checks drawn by the county treas
urer as such are not subject to the
stamp tax. If this be a proper inter
pretation of the law we suppose it APP
plies equally to checks issued by a city
treasurer

Before Santiago, July 6, 1898.
BY good luck | am still safe without a
scratch. We opened the ball July 1st
and for nearly half of the day we were
under deadly hail of everything and
from all sides, and we couldn't see a
thing. We were actually in slaughter
pen, but we kept on the 60 till we did
sight the Spaniards then we forced them
back almost into the city. The Ameri-
can loss was about 1,200 killed and
wounded, but we gained ground and
captured positions which seemed almost
impregnable. The Spaniards are not the
weaklngs and towards the papers make
them out to be, but they stubbornly dis
puted every inch of ground we passed
over and brave men fell on all sides.
The Tenth was in the firing line and in
front for five days, two and half of it
under heavy fire and short rations the
first day none and the second nome

were relieved from the firing line and are
now trying to rest until such time us we
take it again which will be soon. There
has been a truce since noon of the third,

now ;. Our artillery is no good-the
Spaniards can silence them as fast as
they get up, but they can't stop the ad-
vance of the infantry of our small army.
We now have them pretty near cornored,
and Gen. Shafter has demanded the
surrender, which | understand they have
refused. This is hard country to fight
in. 1t hardly seems possible to have
gained our present position, it is all
mountains and the Spaniards have strong
intrenchments, and perfect net work of
