"AKRoN, by extension of the city
boundary last week, added 5000 to
it's population, and increased the tax
duplicate $5,OO0,OO0," says the
Youngstown Vindicator. Our
youngstown neighbor is a trlAe high
in its estimate of the added tax
value, but IL has the new population
sized up about right. It's not every
Ohio city that can add four square
miles to its domain In n single day
without feeling in the least swelled
up about the matter.

A GREAT many OF Akron's citizens
who were converted to the plan OF
Municipal Reform advocated by
Messrs. Kibler and Pugh, at Univer-
sallst church Wednesday night, were
opposed to Representative Kempel's
bill, embodying practically the same
reforms, when 1t was before the leg
lslature two years ago. A united
effort ut that time would have made
The bill n law. The chances are that
could Representative Kempel and
Senator Alexander serve their terms
over again, Akron would not have to
endure the bipartisan system very
long.

The bill boards, window spaces and

Cosgrove 4 Grants comedians in the
Dazzler at the Grand opera house on
Monday, January l, matinee and
night. We are assured that the
piece our theater goers Will witness
this season bears very little resem-
blance to last years Dazzler. The
management appreciate the neces-
sity Of keeping their farce comedy
right up to date, and during the past
summer extensive alterations have
been made, so that it will appear
like new piece this season. New
music, speclalties, songs and dances
have been introduced, and all old
material put aside. A number Of new
faces will be seen in the company
including May Flsko,sthe Musical
Luciers, Emil Huersel, Miss Smith,
Griffin and Griffith, Sunderland and
Fooda, Johnston Sisters, Ed Blanch-
ard, the Vassar Trio, and q chorus OF

LABOR DAY.
How It Was Celebrated at New

NEW YORK, Sept. 4. = Labor Day
was favored with a bright and mild
breeze, and thousands took advantage
of the weather to enjoy a days out
ing. Business was practically stopped
In addition to the exchanges and banks,
all the large department stores were
closed. Flags We're flying from all pub
lie buildings, and in some instances
there was a lavish display of bunting.
Although there was no united parade Of
labor organizations, there were lesser
parades all over the city. The Central
Federated Union concluded to omit the
usual Labor Day parade, because so
many workmen, including the tailorS
and those in the building trades are not
employed. 1t costs $1,000 or $4,000 to
hold a parade, and this sum it was
thought could better be used in helping
out the unemployed and those on
strikes. In place of a parade the COM
bined unions held a picnic at Sulzer's S
Westchester Park, where there were
various contests for prizes, followed by
speech-making.
