WHAT THEY THINK.
Views of Some of the People on the New

bic to the Proposed Measure

a. NJ. Burch-Think it is very
good Better than | expected.
X. E. Lee-Suits me, except
that the Indian can't sell the land.
n. F. LAWN many respects l
think it is the most equitable ad-
justment that could have been
made. The bill is IA fair one.
b. F. Frensley-Some features
are ali right. There should have
been a maximum and minimum
rate fixed for land values. AS it
is, | don't see how they can adjust
the matter; it's all with the In
dian.
A. H. Law (intermarried citi-
zen)-Think it is the best that
could have been done. The bill
shows lots of hard, conscientious
work
T. N. Coleman (intermarried
en)-Suits me.
g. NJ. Yarbrough-It is a very
fair measure. didn't expect per-
fection, and am well satisfied.
Rev. A. J. Worley-The town
site provision is satisfactory to me.
Richard McLish (Chickasaw)-
| don't think there's much in the
bill as it is. Even if it passed in
It's present form it would not ma
terially change things here; it is
too indefinite, and some of the
provisions are incOngruous, and
therefore meaningless. | don't be-
lieve the measure will pass. A
member of the Dawes commission
has written me that the bill will
never become a law-with0ut con
siderable amending.
J. C. Palmer-I've no kick to
make. Hope it will go through.
John McNeish-Think when the
bill is rounded off and shaped up
with amendments it will be a good
measure. Deals fairly with the
white men.
Edward A. Walker-Good as |
expected, but of course not as good
as we want.
George G. Calmes- town
site provision is very good one.
A. Eddleman-It's a heap bet
ter than nothing. In most respects
the bill is a good one, and | am
willing for it to go through.
7. I. Sanders-The white mans
interest will be protected, l think.
Porter Staples-SO far as it re
fers to the farmers interests it is
a splendid bill As to townsites,
it is little indefinite.
John Williamson - It's better
than we have now. Think it is
fair enough.
T. B. Cathey-The bill suits
me. Let her come just as she is.
]. R. Pennington-I'm satisfied
with it.
Mike Goldman - Good enough
for me.
J. l.. Jordan-I found nothing
particularly Objectionable in the
Oil as a whole.
Jerome Whitesell, Lebanon Tin
termarried citizen)-I think the
bill is a bad thing for the people
generally; but of course it will be
knocked out.
d. Redfeld - Don't like the
town site provision, but think it is
as good as we can get.
c. E. Roger (cattleman)-I be-
lieve that if the bill. becomes a
law and its provisions can be car
ried out, it will be found to be a
very fair and generally satisfac-
tory adjustment of matters here.
1t is certainly a great improve

brought the sad news of the death on
the Manook trail of Victor +. Maidhof,
of New York, who was U. S. consul to
Annaburg, Saxony, during the first ad-

Maidhof attempted to cross the port

were exhausted, their hands and feet

buried in a snow drift. His companion,
Morgan, became snowbound and was

with 800 Spanish enlisted sailors and 40
officers aboard, captured from O6rvera S

Eulate, who was commander of the
Nizcaya and is among the prisoners, is
also quite i'll, having been wounded in
the head during the battle off Santiago.
Health Officer i. s. Towle, who went
on board, made thorough examination
of the vessel, visited all of the sick and

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Sunday was
day of thanksgiving and prayer in the
nations capital. The presidents re-
cent proclamation was the basis OF a
concert of patriotic utterances from
many pulpits. Thanks were offered for
the glorious victories of American arms
and prayers were offered for an early
consummation of peace.
President Mckinley, as usual, at.
tended the morning services at the Met
ropolitan M. E. church. He went alone
to the church and was deeply impressed
by the fine discourse delivered by the
pastor, the Rev. Frank Bristol, ID. d.
NASHVILLE, July 1.-THE request of
President Mckinley expressed in his
proclamation that the people of the
United States should assemble in their
houses of worship and return thanks
for the success attending the army and
navy of the United States were fully
complied with in this city on Sunday,
and notably SO because the pulpit OF
nearly every church, both morning and
evening, was occupied by a prominent
Christian Endeavor minister. From
the early morning prayer meeting to
the last service last night, permeating
the many sermons and brief addresses
was the sentiment Of devout thankful
ness for the important victories accom-.
plished.
CHICAGO, July 11.-Patriotism united
with prayer in the churches of Chicago
today. President Mckinley's procla-
nation asking that the day be made
one of thanksgiving was carried out
spontaneously, and universal petition
to the Almighty went out from the Chi
cago pulpitB for the continuance of the
splendid victories of American arms on
land and sea; and giving thanks for the
great work already accomplished in the
name of freedom and humanity.
PITTsBURG, July 1l.-Patriotic serv-
ices were held in this city and Ale
gheny Sunday. At st. Paul's Roman
Catholic cathedral the congregation
sang America" and "rhe Star Span.

mer theater, yesterday afternoon, reli.
gious services were held and Rev. Dun.
can McGregor preached.

services were held in many Of the Cath.
olic and Protestant churches here, in

The Akron Democrat, under the head
ing, "Equalize Tax Burdens" discourses
at length, of which the following is an
extract:
"Within the last year Akron's tax
duplicate has decreased more than half
a million dollars. And Mayor Young,
in his last annual report to the council,
declared that there had been IAN IN
CREASE in the ordinary expenditures of
our city government over the preceding
year, of FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS =
This means that the burden of taxation
which already bears down grievously
hard upon every man who owns a
home, every merchant and every manu-
facturer, will be increased. Yet in the
very hour of the peoples misfortune a
majority Of our councilmen repeatedly
vote to surrender, for more than quar-
ter Of century, the peoples option of
compelling franchise seekers to pay into
the city treasury substantial revenue for
the special and profitable privileges
they desire to enjoy"

THE BANKRUPTCY LAW.

At last the country has bankruptcy
law, enacted after many years OF effort.
This country has had three bankruptcy
laws, neither of which continued long in
force.
The present law is compromise,
says the Pittsburg Post, between those
who favored rigid as we'll as sweeping
law, especially as to involuntary bank
ruptcy. The fees are very low. In
stead of long list OF crimes in bank
ruptcy proceedings there are only two
for which bankrupt can be punished
one, that Of wilfully making false
answer in the bankruptcy proceedings;
the other, the embezzlement of the
property of the estate. The terms Of
discharge are liberal, and it is provided
that farmers and wage earners will not
be the subjects of involuntary bank,
ruptcy, which extends in general to
merchant, manufacturers, bankers,
printers, publishers, etc. The bill is
held to be good in that it restricts ap.
peals and dilatory proceedings and in.
sures a reasonably speedy determine
ton Of all issues.
The first bankruptcy law was passed
by Congress in 1900 and met with such
disfavor that it was repealed in 1903.
The second was enacted in ls4l, and re-
pealed in 1S43. The third lasted from
1867 to 1878, and now has come under
Mckinley, the fourth measure of the
kind and how long it will continue re-
mains to be seen.

OF two hundred women on the
Burgogne, only one was saved. Not
one first class passenger was saved.
Only ten second class passengers were
saved. In comparison to the passengers
tremendous proportion of the ships
crew were saved. The poltroon stokers
and stewards and sailors filled the only
boats that foated. When women and
men who had managed to keep their
heads above water tried to climb into
the boats, the sailors and stewards and
stokers killed them lest the boats be
overcrowded. If they had no weapons,
with their bare knuckles they struck
women in their faces or beat their deli.
cate hands grasping the gunwales.
They struck men in the head with iron
bars and oars; they pushed away wo.
men and men with oars and boat-hooks
and thrust them far under water. One
man thus saw his mother sent to death.
These unspeakable towards even cut the
life.lines strung outside boat to which
five women were clinging. Thesa wo-
men were in the water as they clutched
the life-lines and of course were drown
ed. The officers of the Burgogne went
down with their ship. The one officer
saved went down but saved himself by
splendid feat of swimming. All honor
to such officers.

If the reader took the time to ask his
fellow residents of Canton the simple
question propounded below he would
obtain the one answer. If he had the
curiosity to read the statements now

answer it would surprise him to note
that they number between thirty and
fifty. As many more could be publish

1t is believed, however, that there is q

the Carlists and Republicans causes
anxiety. A mysterious, blackedged,
unsigned manifesto appeared in the
leading squares of Madrid Sunday
bearing the municipal stamp and headed
Gloria Victis, with an angel supporting
a dead, naked soldier. ,
"The manifesto contains an eloquent
appeal to Spanish mothers, calling for
the 'aneration of the country on the

with bribed politicians and a bought

manifesto have been distributed
throughout Spain"

1t is now recognized that Santiago de

THE CLIMATE OF CUBA.

The feeling in this country has been
that the climate Of Cuba would prove
deadly to an American army engaged
n a Summer campaign in that island.
We are apt to forget, that there as here,
in order to retain health, people must
conform to circumstances, taking care
of their habits and efforts. Says wri-
Ter from there: "Nothing has impress
ed me more than the extreme healthful-
ness of those portions Of the island l
have visited" He speaks Of the "bree.
zy, green. capped mountains" and
thinks people "may live there in Sum-
mer time with the same comfort they
have beside Lake Michigan or by the
Atlantic sea-board."

Summer the day grows longer. OF
course this is reversed in winter, and

A low tax rate is the best encourage
ment any city can sftord its manufac-

from a city. The Akron tax rate will
never be lowered while officials per-
