Lakeside Casino.

Lakeside casino was packed to the
doors last night. The large audience
witnessed one of the greatest vaude-
vile bills ever presented in Akron.
Ganter & Meyer, a sister team,
song and dance artists, were well re-
ceived. Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmie Barry,
in a sketch, could not be better.
Mile. Brene and her dog Zaza made
a hit. She is the greatest lady con-
tortionist ever seen here. Her dog is

were big hit. The famous three On
ris lady iugglers, equilibrists and
acrobats are wonders.

plan first submitted to the property
owners on the street it was repre-
sented that the work could be done
at cost of $l.40 per foot, now the as
sessmentaon the property owners il
about $3.50 per foot. More than four
fifths of the citizens residing along
the street are willing to have a little
more added to the price, providing
the work is done with brick.
Several plans were discussed rela
tive to making the change the citi'
zens ask. September was the date
set for selling bonds to make the i'm,
provement. Already $500 have been
spent on preliminaries incident tc
the commencing of the work. The
suggestion which met with most fa-
vor was that the property owners
sign waiver to relinquish the form
er contract, and go ahead with the
new plan upon the legislation of the
old, with the difference of the quail
ity of the work designated, thus OBJ
waiting the necessity of beginning
the work all over again. tits thought
that the plan will be agreeable to all
concerned. President Sprigle re-
ferred the matter to the Street COM
mittee.
Sewers Held Up.
Mr.. Amer, speaking for the Ordi-
nance committe, said that more time
was wanted by the committee to de-
termine upon the matter OF con-
structing a main trunk sewer along
Willow st., in sewer district No. 9.
Mention of the ordinance to con-
struct the sewer brought forth con-
siderable discussion.
Commissioner McGarry said: Il
would like to have the matter looked
after at once, the sewer being neces-
sary as sanitary measure"
Mr.. Brady is of the opinion that it
is not incumbent upon the city to
build the sewer. He is inclined to
believe that it is wholly for private
purposes, and should be built by
property owners. Furthermore, "
continued Mr.. Brady, ''there is an
agitation against it among the citi-
zens. 1t will spoil the grade of the
street. Why not condemn enough
property to open a street, from Wa
bash avenue to Zwisler alley? 1t is
more necessary
Mr.. McGarry replied that he knew
of no other way by which the sewer
might be constructed, other than as
a main trunk.
Discussion was then dropped, pend
ing the report of the ordinance COM
mittee.
Summit Street Paving.
Summit street improvements were
also discussed. Mr.. Paul, of the
Street committee, in a report said,
Il think that we are no nearer So
luton than before" Then he told of
MS having visited Mansfield for the
purpose of investigating the practic-
,bility of brick paving on street
grades. Some of the grades he
riewed were from s to II per cent.

TRUTH IN AN OBITUARY.
Reasons a Really Good Man Made So

Squire CRANKY was dead. The vii

TO hear his funeral sermon. The old
doctor, with his nephew, John. who
was down from the city, sat in a back
pew.
The minister told what every one
there knew to be the truth Of the dead
mana faithful believer In Christ, n
man Of high integrity, in whose justice
aud honesty the whole community
trusted, liberal to the poor, walking
blameless under every moral law.

And yet In spite Of these faults the
squire was faithful in his heart to his

fields and groves. tnged by the red
hand Of autumn. his heart was glad.
He strolled along the road, switching
at the weeds on the wayside with his
cane. and drank in the pure country

Soon by the road he saw a small
cottage, hidden by vines bearing clus'
tiers Of purple grapes. and be stood
still and contemplated the scene to bis

around suddenly he saw the American

heard a laugh and something which
sounded like "rubberneck" And he
