SHE WANTS THEM REPAIRED
Comes Into Court and Says She Is
Ready and Willing
TO MARRY JAMES DICk
But He Does Not Come to the Altar With
with Any Degree of Haste Her
PIaintive' Tale Recited In
Petition Filed In the
Courts.

The first breach of promise case that
has come into the Stark county courts
for several years was filed Saturday af-
ternoon by Attorney j. d. Lewis, of
Alliance. The plaintiff is Elizabeth
Christman, of that city, and the defen-
dant James Dick. The girl declares
that away back in January Is, 1899,
James popped the question and en-
treated her to become his. She says
she looked upon his proposition with
favor and straightway accepted and the
two became engaged. Ever since then,
she asserts, she has been ready to
marry the tardy lover and is still will
ing and ready. James, she claims, now
refuses to go forward and have the GER
emony performed and she therefore
demands that he soothe her wounded
feeling by paying her $1,000 damages,
for which amount she sues in court
A HUSBAND ANSWERS.
William Patterson, of Alliance, OBJ
jects to his wife's petition for divorce,
and through Attorney Lewis today filed
an answer. He says that her i'll health
was not due to him, but to bad habits Of
her own. He also declares that she is
not fit person to have their child and
asks the court to dismiss the divorce
case and give him custody of the child.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
That Mr.. Comstock has suffered inn
measurably in his own business through
the effects of trusts is borne out by the
following statement made by him: 1--WE
used to have many tobacco men stop
with us before the trusts organized.
They come and stay here and then
work out throughout the country max
ing this place their headquarters. The
trusts have displaced about IS of these
men who would average SO a week every
week in the year. You can see by this
how trusts have injured me-"
Mr.. Comstock, in reply to the ques-
tion: What do you think of McKin-
ley's Philippine policy" said II al
ways believe in upholding the dignity
and honor of the flag, but what 1 would
like to find out is whether Mckinley
with the 500, 900, 900 purchased the land,
the inhabitants at 81 a head, or a fight.
scarcely see the wisdom in going that
! far away for it when he can get one
right here at home. To my mind the
Philippine situation is like the one
which confronted us back in the days
of the surrender of Yorktown. Had the
French stepped in after acting as our
allies and taken possession of our land
we certainly would have continued to
! fight"
THE TRAVELLING MEN
what do you think of the candidacy
of Mr.. Mclean and his chances for cleo
tion?" was asked of Mr.. Comstock. He
replied:
II believe Mclean is gaining ground
every day. This not only is my personal
opinion, but learn from the travelling
men that it is really so. Many of these
men are like myself-for Mclean.

work has brought about beneficial re-

(Applause.) Now, gentlemen, have no

do not know whether this is q proper

plause)
AS the law is at present; the state
gives you a charter to start bank, a
savings bank or a commercial bank op-
Grated under the state law, and you put
up your sign and commence your busi-
ness and you seek to impress upon your
neighbors and your friends and your
acquaintance that this is a bank in all
the word implies. You want your bank
to appeal to your friends and you want
to get the confidence of your friends
so that they will place their money in
your bank and make you the custodian
of their money accumulations. Now the
state gives you this license. What else
do they do? They permit you to receive
deposits; they permit you to take the
deposits of the community in which yor
reside, and they assume no supervision
over such deposits; none whatever
What do they require you to do? Yor
are required to publish your statement
twice year, and you can tell in ad
vance-in fact you men can tell today
when your statement will be required
to be published next fall, next year, five
years or ten years hence; you have am
pie time to prepare for it. You can ge
your neighbor, say a National banke
with whom you are on good terms, t
put one hundred thousand dollars il
your bank twenty minutes before yol
have to publish your statement, anC
then after the publication is made
these deposits can be returned to tn
National bank. Now is not that fact
OF course it is. In the consideration
of this question we are duty bound a
gentlemen to be governed by the fact
in the matter and nothing else, an
sorry that did see anything like fac
: tional spirit among the bankers of Ohio
or to hear one class of bankers jockey
ing another class Of bankers out of ad
ditional taxes or anything of that kind
did think that law something simila
to this ought to be enacted in the Stat
3 of Ohio. Not that the State banks hav
: failed to any greater extent than tn
National banks in the last few year
? in Ohio, but 1 think this is true, tha
the National banks of the state in tn
, times of panics and in times of great de
: preston, have stood up better than an
!. other class of banks; that is the histor
of banking.

WILL CLAIM
THE REWARD.
Akron Men Want Money For
Furnishing Testimony.
Said That Henderson Acknowledged That
He "Only Hit Him Once"--Infor-
nation Placed In OficiaIs'
Hands,

A report comes from Akron to the
effect that residents of that city will
claim the reward of 5000 for the discov-
cry Of John Hartong's murderer, in case
Henderson is found guilty, upon trial
here. AS the story comes from there,
Henderson was in Akron the day after
the robbery and while listening to the
reading of the manner in which Hartong
was bound and beaten, he spoke up and
said: II only hit him over the head
once.'
The men who heard him say this, it
is claimed, began to figure on the 5000
reward and finally placed the informa-
ton in the hands of the officials.
