Washington, Aug. 15.-It is stated
at the war department, in order to pre-

census of Cuba will be handled from
Washington, through Mr.. Olmstead,

as it will avoid any confusion that
might arise over the impression that

THIS is the season of the year
when the city officials should give
special attention to the garbage
question. Many life is sacrificed
by reason Of the failure of officials
entrusted with municipal govern
ment, to give proper attention to
cleansing the streets and alleys.
This duty is imperative and impor-
tant in preserving the health and
lives of our citizens. Policemen
should carefully inspect every part
Of the city and make prompt report
whenever filth and otfal are found.
There should not be allowed any
vegetable or other matter to 90 to
decay about the city. With the
facilities provided, there can be no
excuse for tolerating any germ
breeding spot or barrel in the city.
The public health is paramount to
everything else and no officer should
be derelict in his duty in preserving
II.

Settling Coal Miners, strike.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 15.-It is re-
ported that the big strike at Nanti-
coke may be settled before many days.
The $500 miners who are out on strike
are getting restless and many of them
are anxious to return to work. The
Susquehanna Coal company is also
overwhelmed with orders for coal and
every day the mines are idle is big
loss. It Is said both sides will make
concessions and that an amicable
agreement may be reached sooner than
expected. The miners at Babylon col
liery, Duryea, who have been out on
strike for two weeks. have returned to
work, the company having granted
some concessions of minor character.

In THIS world, the individual who
makes practice of beating his
wife never gets his deserts. Usu-
ally if the poor creature who is the
drudge, ever does muster up cour-
age sufficient to make information
against him, she repents of her
hardness of heart before the hear
ing and either fails to appear
against HIM or withdraws the lnfor-
nation upon his promise to conduct
himself more humanely-a promise
made many times before, and made
only to be broken. If there we're
no other reasons for a future world
in which men are rewarded for their
deeds done in the body, the neces-
sity of dealing out justice to such
scoundrel, would require one.

HON. JOHN B. MONNOT.
Visits Youngstown and is Interviewed
-Unconcerned Over His
Recent Defeat.

The Youngstown Vindicator, In it's
issue OF Thursday, April 6, has the fol-
lowing to say:
"Hon. John Z, Monnot, Democratic
candidate for mayor of Canton at the
election last Monday, and who was de-
feated by only bakers dozen of votes,
by his Republican opponent, was in the
city Wednesday on his way to Cam
bridge Springs, where he intends to
stay couple of weeks.
Mr.. Monnot Is the most unconcerned
man over defeat imaginable, and from
his happy frame of mind, one would
never know he had been recently de-
feated for an cftice He says he has no
regrets and that he is q better Demo-
crat than ever before, which is saying
a great deal, for the young attorney
has always stood at the head OF the
class of sturdy and reliable Stark county
Democrats.
In speaking OF the campaign, Mr.
Monnot says it was hard fought, and
that more interest was taken in the re.
suit than ever before in a municipal
contest in Canton. The outcome was
not known until the last precinct was
in, and then on the face of the returns
only l9 votes was the margin existing.
MIR. Monnot is we'll known and popu.
lar in Youngstown, where he was
warmly received by the leading Demo
Gratis yesterday, who were apparently
more chsgrined and disappointed at
the result in Canton than the ex-post-
master himself.

any city in the state is ahead of Canton
stated yesterday when shown the new
Market street viaduot, that he would
have to give in on one score, and that
was in reference to bridges. He was
astonished at the size OF the structure.

Tells Two Startling Stories Concerning

Tells Two Startling Stories Concerning
Mrs. George and Parties to the Case.
One Of the most important witnesses
who has yet taken the stand was William
F. Cook. He is now residing in Mans
field hut formerly lived in Canton. He is
quite deaf and can distinguish what Is
said to him only by the movement of the
lips. He does not carry an ear trumpet
and he WIS turnsd over to Mr.. Grant,
whose voice Is u ore powerful and peue-
trating than that Of the prosecuting at
torney. Mr.. Grant got close to the wit
ne's and hOwled at the top of his voice,
but the answers were not always respon-
siVe to the question, which was an indi-
cation that Mr. Grant was not being
understood all the time. He finally
wroto out his questions, read them aloud
and then submitted them to the witness.
Cook i'd that he lived in the SaxtJn
blocS In the latter part of 1896. He was
asked If he had ever seen Annie II.
George in the bl.ck and said he had.
Witness said:
Zone night after Thank sgiving,in 1906,
l had been to a show and came up to the
block from the oIera house. As 1 en-
tered the hallway UPSTAIRS 1 saw Mrs.
George staining beside radiator oppo-

rooms. She had areyolver In her hand
and was looking at it intently evidently
fixing it. AS soon as she saw me she put
the revolver under her coat. passed ON
and did not see her again that night"
Objection was made, as it was claimed
the evidence WAS too remote. Mr.. Pom
creme said it was but link of chain
that would lead up to the night of the
tragedy, and the court allowed 1t.
