Diphtheria at New Berlin is
Now Practically Under
Control.

Dr. e. ]. March was called to New
Berlin on professional business Tuesday
morning and while there he made an
investigation into the diphtheria epi-
demic which is in progress there. In
reference there to the doctor made the
following statement:
II found that the epidemic
had greatly spread through the village,
there being about twenty cases so far
as l was informed. Six of them were
OF dangerous character, but anti-to
inc has been constantly used and this
assisted in abating the danger. 1 be-
lieve that the quarantine measures in
that village are more rigidly enforced
than in this city, because the entire
household is forbidden to leave the
house. / think the epidemic has about
reached it's climax, and that danger in
the future will be averted'b by the quar-
antine measures taken The villagers

Dan Talbert Will be Ap- Il
pointed JanitOr.

There are numerous applicants for the
position of janitor at the court house
and the commissioners have been giving
the matter considerable attention.
Commissioner Summer is said to be
anxious to postpone the appointment
till after the election, as he desires to
be good fellow with all the men who
are seeking the place. 1t is said, how
ever, that Daniel Talbert, who was not
appointed turnkey at the city prison by
Mayor Robertson, will be appointed to
the vacancy caused by the "debbir'
getting into Isaac Newton Neville. The
appointment is to be hung up until the
election is over and words of encour-
agement are to be handed out to appli-
cants, but it is asserted by a man who
ought to know that Talbert will ge the
place at the proper time.

Authorized to Make Such
Promise.

Springfield, o., Oct. 10.-Governor
Bushnell is not going to take the stump
for Hanna and Nash The report pub
lished in the Republican press of the
state this morning is absolutely
grOundless despite the fact that Sena-
tor Foraker takes the liberty Of acting
as his spokesman.
When seen tonight Gov. Bushnell said:
II have made no promises to any one,

with my business engagements. l have
so much official business and personal
matters that must be attended to this
month that all of my time will be occu-

Foraker took the liberty of speaking for
me, as we have not met for some time.
l did not see him when he was in Colum-
bus, and have not had any correspon-
dence with him."
| A leader of the Bushnell faction of the
party here today stated tonight that
there was absolutely no danger of Gov
ernor Bushnell campaigning for Hanna
and Nash. He says the Governor re-
members too well Nash's insulting letter
to him, and also the efforts he made to
throw cold water on his inauguration.
He also added that Foraker would no

they were acting independent of him,

creditors, whose claim is a little over
$500, arrived this morning and found
his goods in the store, most of them un-
packed, but his name does not appear
upon the Wengrow ledgers. H. Wen
grow was very indignant that anyone
should think that he an his wife had
fled from creditors. He said that they
had been away on business, but that
they had now returned and expected
to make Alliance their permanent home.
He said that he could not understand
why 1t should have been thought that
they had run away when they left all
their household goods in their house on
Union avenue and one Of their children
with friends here.
He further stated that the sale of his
wife's stores was bona f1de sale, one
that would stand any test, and that

SCHOOL BOARD
Makes-a Statement With Refer
ence to Diphtheria in
New Berlin.
New Berlin, Oct. 9, 1899.

new BeTllnI OCL. ., 1879.
Editor News-Democrat: Soon after
the opening of our schools quite num-
ber of our children were attacked with
sore throat, for which the usual rene
dies were applied. There was no
thought of immediate danger until one
of our scholars showed the development
of laryngial diphtheria. DR.. Steele was
called but the disease was not overcome,
and with the aid OF DR.. Walker. of Can
| ton, all that could be done by medical
science was applied, but proved futile,
and the little patient died. In the mean
time other cases developed, some OF
them light, but number very serious
Largely, the cases were confined to our
primary school. In view of these facts
| it is evident to US, first. our action as
the board of education in closing the
schools has been justified, as we deem
the preservation of life and health In oui
community of paramount Importance
and duty we owe society.
Second, the board of education has
full confidence in DR.. Steele, the ply.
sician in question, as to his ability tc
diagnose, and treat diphtheria, and oul
thanks and that of the community are
due him for his wise counsel and earn
est effort to stamp out the dread dis
ease.
Third, in our judgment the late scien
tific treatment with anti-toxine, proper
sanitary conditions and fumigation a.
applied in combating the disease, ha!
largely robbed diphtheria Of it's dreaded
horror, and is having it's desired effec
upon the community.
Fourth, the board has closed the
schools for the present week in ordel
that further counsel may be obtained
in regard to proper sanitary condition!
of our school house, which some claim
to be the origin of the trouble and Il
so the board will endeavor by all posi-
BILE means to discharge its duty to the
patrons of the school by sanitary ol
other remedial changes.
Fifth, our action in this matter ha.
been the conscientious performance o.
our duty as far as possible, and in har
mony with the sanitary laws regarding
contagious diseases.

HANDSOME ROCKER
rendered Mayor Robertson by
the Members of the
Police Force.

Mayor Robertson was fairly deluged
count of his becoming a benedict, but
the most telling feature of the day ar
rived Monday evening when the mem
bers of the police force assembled and
secretly avowed to purchase his honor
a wedding present. About half a dozen
of the officers marched in a body to one
Of the local furniture stores and pur-
chased fine leather and upholstered
chair and had the chair removed to the
mayors Office while he was partaking
of his supper at his home in North
Cleveland avenue. One of the officers
hurriedly went to the mayors residence
and asked him to call at his office in the
who wanted a warrant drawn up in a
case of burglary. The mayor begged
to be excused for few moments only
to finish his supper, and he promised
to come to the city hall in double quick
time. About ten minutes afterward
the officers saw him coming and they all
gathered in his private office, darkened
the place, and Sergeants Wielandt and
Riblet were stationed outside. AS he
entered he discerned the faces of the
officers and he nearly tumbled over
fine chair, which was formerly present
ed to him in neat speech by Sergeant
Riblet The mayor turned and blushed
and greatfully acknowledged the re-
ceipt of the present and thanked

ton of friendliness.

The Wengrow clothing store muddle
which is in the courts of Canton, is

Tuesday morning Judge McCarty
heard the controversy in which the Geo.
d. Harter bank is plaintiff and Jennie
E. Barrie and Franzo Miller, as as
signee of the Handy Wagon Co., de-
PENDANTS. The issue grew out of the fail
ure of the Handy Wagon Co. The con-
Germ owed Mrs. Barrie $1,100. In De-
cember, 1898, she sued and took judg-
ment for the amount in common pleas
court and the shop was closed on exc
cution by the sheriff. A few days later
the company made an assignment. II
owed the George d. Harter Bank 81 800
and the bank sued to upset the judg-
ment of Mrs. Barrie so as to have the
proceeds divided among all the credit
ors, there not being more than enough
to satisfy her judgment if it should be
paid first. Harter & Kriecht aum and
Charles r. Miller represented the bank
and Judge Thayer, Mrs. Barrie. After
hearing the testimony and arguments
the court took the case under advise
ment and will decide it later.

iah Freed was finished before Judge
McCarty Monday afternoon. The tes-
timony showed that the land leading to
Hayman's farm through Freed's place
had been open for half a century be-
fore Freed closed it up. The court held
therefore that 1T should remain open
and issued a decree directing Freed to
take down his fence. Freed's attorneys
gave notice of appeal and filed a bond

pears that they did not go to New Phil

of Massillon. They had not been no.

must have very quiet as they attracted
no attention.
AN AKRON STORY.
The Akron Beacon-Journal says of
the case: Edward Smith, prominent
resident of Navarro, came to Akron
Sunda.. in search Of two handsome Ma
varre young women, one Of whom was
his own daughter, Leila aged 16 years,
and the other was a neighbor's daughter
named Geneva Swallow aged Is years.
Geneva and Leila ran away from their
homes the early part of last week. They
left at night and walked six miles to
Massillon. From there they went to
Canton, where they took a train and
went to Cleveland, where they remained
but one day. They came to Akron We'd
nesday and after being her one day they
became frightened fearing that officers
were after them.
Sunday, Mr.. Smith and Officers Coss-
well and Greenlese went to Kent and
| located Geneva and Leila in a boarding
house at that place. They were greatly
surprised when the officers confronted
them and they declared that they would
jump into the river rather than to re-
turn to their homes. They claimed they
had been abused. They were brought
here and after short rest in the police
station they decided to return to Ma
varre. accompanying Mr.. Smith, father
of Leila.
Mr.. Smith said that when the girls
left home they had $40 in cash and a
gold watch. When found their money
was all gone and they had pawned the
watch.
The runaways had become tired of a
quiet home life and had decided to go
out and see the big world.
