NO TRUTH
In Statement That There
Was Discrimination
Against Contractors of This City-New
Hamilton Building.

The impression has been created
that the promoters of the Hamilton
building were discriminating against
local contractors in getting bids for
the mammoth structure.
j. r. Mutt was approached on the
matter by DEMOCRAT reporter. He
said: '.There is absolutely not a
word of truth in the report. We
want Akron contractors to build for
us, but they must do as other con-
tractors do. They must send in
their bids and the lowest bidder will
get the contract. We are doing bus
iness on business basis, and don't
propose to give any privileges to any
one." He also said that it will cost
$25, 900 more to erect the building at
present than it would two years ago,
on account of the advance in mate
rails

REVOLUTION
In Manufacture of Rubber Goods
New Patent.

Options were closed Wednesday by
which New Workers pay James Den
mis- of Anderson, Ind, 100000 for
new patent process which is to work
complete revolution in rubber
goods. BY the new process Dennis
makes rubber out of oil. 1t is, he
claims, in every respect as good as
the rubber which is now used and
which costs Sl.5O pound. The new
rubber can be turned out for % cents.
1t has been thoroughly tested in
many conditions. Wagon and bicy-
Gle tires have been made and are
found to be all right. The process
will save ut least 81 on every pound.
1t can be vulcanized and used for all
hard rubber goods.

EXPANSION.
Akron Men Who Are
Believers In 1t.
Have Leased Entire Second Story to
ENLARGE Their Quarters.

Val! diu N M CTS, ilo-lIu foOulil
Main ST., clothiers. and furnishers,
have leased the entire second story
of the building they now occupy,
and will convert it into a boys and
children's department.
This department will be the larg-
est and finest of its kind in Northern
Ohio. The floors will be carpeted
nicely, and dressing and toilet rooms
will be arranged with elegance and
convenience. A large and modern
electric elevator will be put in to
carry visitors TO and from the de-
partments.
Under the firm name of Myers,
Ganyard & Stump, this popular store
was opened in the Abbey block,
Main ST., in the fall of 1898. The floor
space occupied then was 2OxlOO. In
1894 Mr.. Stump retired from the bus
mess and it has since been conducted
by Messrs. Ganyard and Myers, The
floor space they will occupy when
the contemplated improvements
shall have been completed, will be
about 1900 square feet. These i'm
provements will be completed by
September l.
All the present offices on the sec
ond floor will be removed, leaving a
splendid room 3Oxl0O, which will be
fitted up with large and carefully
selected stock of clothing and fur
nishing goods for boys and children.

BENEFIT OPERA.

Large Chorus.

Col. John G. Bloomfield has closed

here early in October of the popular

order of the day. The installation of
exhibits is complete. Unsightly and
unopened boxes do not mar the view.
Every booth is splendidly arrayed,
and contains costly exhibits.
Resting Places.
Lavish provision has been made
for the accommodation of visitors,
especially in the distribution of set
tees throughout the grounds. These
resting places for tired sight-seers
will accommodate hundreds; but the
wealth of attractions on every hand
shortens their time for rest, so that
others can take their seats.
Merchants Display.
Aside from the Kaleidoscope grand
eur the real merit of the fair is, of
course, in the display of Akron mer-
chants and manufacturers. The great
influx of sight-seers is toward the
avenues of booths. 1t is not for a
mere cursory view, but for careful
inspection of the latest goods and
appliances. The whirl of amusement
finds here a conservatism which is
1n1sorh%fn1 l., %ho ,f
thing in every department. Add to
this material beauty the blaze of
light from thousands of electric
burners, the piercing rays of the
search light, and the flaming torch
of natural gas-it is evening. -
Elephant Procession.
AS one is finishing the circuit of
the main grounds the shrill cry rings
out, "Stop her. Now then for Joppa!
Ease her. Any one for Gizeh?" 1t
is the elephant and camel procession
carrying its merry load of freight
over the grounds. Seeing the ele-
phant is not enough. You must

Stamp Of Approval.
The four hundred have placed the
stamp of approval upon the midway
and Streets of India. The cream of
Akron society was out last night in
force and from now on the midway
will be the popular place to spend
the evening during the progress of
the fair. .

Real Life.
Greatest of all. however, is the

accounts for the lusty shouts to come

girls are still the popular idols of the
crowd while patriotism suns galore

Attendance.
