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
a 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.50 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 at least 81 on every pound.
1t can be vulcanized and used for all
hard rubber goods.

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
mess on business basis, and don't
propose to give any privileges to any
one" He also said that it will cost
$25, 600 more to erect the building at
present than it would two years ago,
on account of the advance in mate
rials

Akron. Ohio, July 20, 1899.
To tine Editor;
In answer to Messrs. Fiebeger
and Cummins' card published in
your paper of the 18th inst. l have
this to say, that inasmuch as the
above gentlemen seem anxious to
see the books published and still re-
fuse to receive any of the proceeds, /
see no reason for anyone to kick, and
again in what way does the publi-
cation of that book concern the PEN
sion fund. To make a long story
short | will make another PROPOSE
tion on behalf of the police depart
ment, viz. that whatever is left after
the expenses of engraving, publica-
tion, ETC., are all paid, shall be turned
over to the poor director for the re-
lief Of the poor next winter. and
further say that in Justice 10 all con
cerned, financially or otherwise.
that in.n,y opinion the parties that
were Instrumental IN defeating the.
project should also under these con,
ditions be willing to help resurrect
it. Yours Respectfully,
H. H. HARRISON,
Chief of Police.

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

Ganyard d Myers, 1lS-l2O South
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. :: 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 /.
All the present offices on the Sec
Ond floor will be removed, leaving a
splendid room 3Oxl0O, which will be
fitted up with a large and carefully
selected stock of clothing and fur
nishing goods for boys and children.

FIERCE FIGHT.
Bad Gang Crooks Headed
For Akron.
Officer Had Hard Time In Placing One
Under Arrest.

OuuCi All CSts
Chief of Police Fl. H. Harrison
has received a letter from c. E.
Burr, of the Allegheny, Pa, police
department. in reference to combat
Lieutenant McCourt, former Can
ton policeman, had with kid Nc
Millen, .'Old Man" West and three
other. crooks,
McMillen and West recently es-
eaped from Jail at Chillicothe and
are wanted for burglary.
Tuesday night they boarded p d
w. west bound train at 80 McCourt
attempted to place Mcmillan under
arrest. They struck him with guns
and forced him to release the pris-
Oner. Five miles west they stopped
the train aud got off. McCourt fol-
lowed and shots were exchanged.
Mcmillan was finally arrested. His
pals hit McCourt over the head and
got away.
The men bought tickets for Canton
and are expected to pass through

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. The S e
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
delightful. 1t is the best of every
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 Gizeb?" 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
ride on the elephant. It is one of the
features of the fair. Over the arch to
the home of Oriental splendor,

an and Algerian cunning and back
