The IuhercuIosis Congress,

1t is hardly exaggerated to say that
the anti-tuberculosis congress, in ses-
sion at Berlin, is of more Importance
to the people of the world than the
peace conference at The Hague.
Many thousands more persons die
annually from tuberculosis than are
killed by the raVages of war. No 9TH
er disease claims so large a number.
In Columbus last year, out of 1883
deaths, 257, or 16.f-Per cent, were due
to consumption.
For many years expert physicians
have been endeavoring to ascertain.
the cause for the alarming proportions
of the disease. But science has thus
far not been able to present the treat
ment that will arrest its terrible raw
ages. 1t is to give more impetus to in
Vestigations that have been going on
during the past decade or more that
two thousand leading scientists, stud
ents Of tuberculosis, have assembled at
Berlin. Whether by their discussions
and experiments they shall be able to
solve the mysteries of the malady and
discover cure for it remain tc be
seen.
There is no doubC the congress will
be memorable in the history of medi-
cine.s Though no practical benefit may
arise Immediately from the meeting of
so many learned men bent on a com
mon object, there is almost sure to be
suggested some line of investigation
which will eventually lead to the dis
coVery OF a reliable cure for the di-
sease. Experts have discovered what
they contend Is the bacillus of con-
sumption and many have compounded
various elixirs and proposed treat
ments to check the ravages OF the di-
sease. These have been extolled at var
ious times, but none OF them have
come into general use.
No matter what may be the outcome
OF the conference at The Hague, to pre-
vent the destruction OF human life in
war, 1t is hoped the congress at Ber-
lin will at least succeed in outlining
plans for an investigation that will
eventually result In the discovery of
cure for this terrible malady Ohio

An old custom which has not sur
vived in many modern churches is the
buying and selling outright of pews.
The church pew was once acquired
definitely, just as one would buy a
Cemetery lot. 1t became one of the as
sets of the property-holder, and some
times so increased in value as to prove
a good investment financially, aside
from any spiritual gains which may
have accrued from its occupation. The
custom survives in old Trinity church
at Newport, where Mr.. Cornelius Van
derbilt presented to his daughter, Mrs
Harry Payne Whitney, deed to a pew
as an Easter gift. Mr.. William X.
Vanderbilt has also given a pew to his
son, who recently married Miss Fair
Bazaar.

reason for changing the opinion fire.
quently expressed in the reports that
the field has been fully defined. This
of course has no reference to the few
small wells that will be drilled along
the outer edges of the producing area.
To the north of the field, the Ohio Oil
Co. has drilled in its No. on the g. II.
Kennedy farm and its size, a or 8
barrel pumper, is very good illustra-
tion of an edge well. North of this
well 1900 feet on the same farm the
Ohio Co. completed a 1 barrel well
early in the Sclo excitement. AS yet
there has been no spurs discovered
leading out from the main develop
ments. The wells have gradually de-
creased in size as the field has been de-
veloped until 5 and 10 barrel producers
or busters have taken the place Of go,
10 and 80 barrels wells.
When the producing lines of the ter
ritory showing it nearing the end and
it is so reported the natives and scalp
ers are up in arms, losing sight of the
fact that 1t Is just as important to give
pnblicity to that phase as to the early
development At best, it's game of
chance, and the practical oil man
wants all the information he can get
and does not want it magnif1ed or
biased. To the average reader, a
duster reported is of little interest
compared with gusher, but to the
lease holder the information has a diff
ferent meaning and not unfrequently
it is of greater value.
Southeast OF Scio and three-fourths
of a mile east of Hanover the will
drilled on the Lewton farm by Davis,
Johnson & Dugan is still shut down.
No effort has been made to operate 1t
since it was completed. Reports diff
fer as to what was discovered at this
location, but the prevailing opinion is
that it is a failure.
To the east of the Lewton farm one
half mile unknown parties are drilling
a we'll on the T. B. Patton farm.
This well is uncomfortably close to the
Short & Adams dry hole on the Nc
Peck farTn.
North ofHanover one half mile Will
son & Co. are drilling an important
test well on the T. D. Fisher farm.
This location may land on the inside
of the producing circle, but the margin
Will be small.

pleted 10 wells ON his farm and has as

LAST INSTALLMENT
OF New Box Cars For the Erie Rail.
road.

The Erie has just received the last
installment of its last order of 2,OOC
box cars, which was placed some
months ago. These cars are of the
latest type and add materially to the
equipment of the company. The
cars have been distributed all along
the line from Chicago to Buffalo and
have been placed on the divisions
where they would do the most good.
1t is now said that the company
has just placed another large order
for gondolas. These, it is said, will
not be delivered until winter time,
when they will be put into the coal
carrying trade. The exact number
has not been learned, but it is said
to be in keeping with the other orders
of equipment that have Just been
placed.
The road has just now received an
other lot of those new engines which
it ordered some time ago. These are
gradually being limbered upon the
various divisions and some will be
put on the heavy ore and coal trains
as soon as possible, while others will
be put on the fast passenger trains
between New York and Chicago.

AKRON EVER FIRST.

Expressions of appreciation of the
DEMOCRATS enterprise in publish
ing a special illustrated edition to
help the merchants and manufac-
turers boom their Free Carnival and
Street Fair are heard on every hand
today.
The DEMOCRAT has no desire to
belong to that class OF newspapers
which are so absorbed in the business
of initiating their circulation
on paper-and singing hymns
of eXtravagant self-praise or
hero worship that they cannot
find time to give more than
mere perfunctory support to public
enterprise so great as that of the
Street Fair and Carnival.
The best interests of the city and of
our enterprising merchants and
manufacturers have been staked
upon the success or failure of the
Carnival and Street Fair and it has
been with very weak and hating
grace that the forces which ought to
labor unremittingly and unreservedly
for the success of the Fair have given
it at best divided and half-hearted
assistance, permitting their attention
to be distracted from Akron's project
and Akron's welfare by the boasts
and enterprises of self-seeking
politicians.
When will some people learn that
the welfare of Akron does not wait
upon campaign openings nor the
ambitions of candidates for public
Office?

STOP .SLANDERER!

Such expressions as "Stop thief!'
and Call the police!" were employed
by the Dobson paper last night to
convict Akron's Councilmen of being
thieves and rascals.
Akron people know how much of
credence to place in these accusations
by our neighbor, but as there are
strangers in the city who, unac-
quainted with the nature and history
of the Dobson paper, might take the
accusations for granted, the DEMO
Graf wants to say just word in
explanation, not so much as a defense
for the Councilmen, who are able to
defend themselves, but just to
convince our guests that they are not
sojourning among scoundreis.
One week ago the City Council
following the precedent established
several years since by a Republican
Council, appropriated $3.50 to pay the
expense of having Akron represente d
in the National Convention of the
League of American Municipalities,
soon to meet at Syracuse, n. Y.
Every city of any consequence in the
land is represented in the League,
and Akron did not want to be tagging
in this respect. particularly so as she
had been honored by an invitation to
her Mayor to address the League.
All of the Republican Councilmen
except Councilman Homan, who
gave no reason for his opposition,
and all of the Democratic Council
men except Councilman Fiebeger,
who was absent, voted for the ap-
preparation, evidently believing it
good policy to have Akron repre-
sented in the League convention.
These are the facts upon which the
Dobson paper bases its lame accusa-
tion that Akron's Councilmen are
thieves.
A year ago when two Republican
City Commissioners voted to retain
a Republican Clerk in office at a sal
airy of 800 more yearly than an
equally competent Democrat agreed
to do the same work for; when the
Republican, Councilmen and Com
missioners voted TO give ii favored
corporation lighting contract upon
bid costing the taxpayers several
thousand dollars more a year than
its competitors; and when a tele-
phone monopoly attempted to grab a
twenty-five franchise by the votes of
subservient officials and against the
interests and expressed wishes of
nine-tenths OF the people of Akron
the Dobson paper not only failed to
regard these acts of the city's officials
as steals, as it now processes to re-
gard the sending of Akron delegates
to the Municipal League conven-
tions. but it came forth boldly as the
champion of the attempts to
defraud the people of their money
and their rights.
The DEMOCRAT is frank to say
