Travelling Libraries.

The forthcoming report OF State IL
brarian Galbreath on the travelling IL
braries of the state will show that this
has been the greatest year in their his
tory. Five years ago when the plan
was first Instituted, but two libraries
were sent out. The next year there
were few more calls for them and in
1890 nearly 500 Libraries went over the
state.
This year, however, $50 libraries have
been sent out and Ohio now leads New
York, where the idea had Its first In
ception. One Of the young teachers to
whom the books were sent said that
each book in his collection was read by
an average OF f6 people in his district.
In case the plans OF Mr.. 0aIbreath are
carried out. the travelling libraries will
be made even more of an instrument
for good in the coming year than they
have In the past.

both fell dead. The electric current had
passed through their bodies and the
shock had caused instant death.
The bodies were carried into the
shoe shop of John Gukeyson and Bill
lows ambulance was called. The re-
mains were transferred to the morgue
where Coroner Il, o. Leberman viewed
the bodies. The examination revealed
no marks upon either persons, except
that the left hand of both men was
badly burned and twisted by the shock.

ANOTHER DAMAGE SUIT BEGUN
A Massillon Plaintiff Wants 1O,OOO From

Erancis Kreyer Two
Years go.

The jury in the case of Heimans ad-
ministrator against the G. T. & " rail-
way, in court room No. /, Judge Nc
Carty presiding, was ou. all Monday
night trying to reach a verdict. They
reported to the court at 8 o'clock Tues
day morning, giving verdict of $1,000
for the plaintiff.
The jury was excused for one hour
for breakfast and then went into the
box in court room No. 2. a4y
The Heiman case has had quite a ca
reer in the courts. Little Walter Hell
man was killed on the c. T. & v. track,
in Canton, on October is, 1896, while
playing. An engine, which had been
standing near the boy, backed up and
ran over him. 1t was claimed that no
whistle or other warning was sounded.
An administrator was appointed and
suit for damages instituted. Upon the
first hearing of the case, a verdict for
$4,000 was rendered.
Judge Taylor, deeming this excessive,
cut the verdict to s2,5OO. ...
The railroad company carried the case
up to circuit court on error, and IT held
that the judge erred in certain parts
Of his charge to the jury.
sThe verdict was set aside and a new
trial ordered. with the result above
noted. .-..,....
1t has been an expensive case and
the PLAINTIFFS attorneys are not very
well satisfied with the finding. 1t is
looked upon as compromise verdict
Judge Stilwell, of Millersburg, and At
lee Pomerene represented the plaintiff
and Lynch and Day the defendant.
A SIMILAR CASE.
At the conclusion Of the Heiman case,
Tuesday morning, Massillon damage
case of almost similar nature was placed
on trial.
On January 10. 1898, Frances Kreyer,
while crossing the tracks Of the C. L.
& w. road, in Massillon, was struck by
an engine and killed. .,yE
1t is claimed by the Kreyer admin
istrator that her death was due to the
negligence OF the railroad company,s
employees. and 800 damages is asked.
The railroad company, in its answer,
sets up that the woman was negligent
and contributed to her own death. -.f

the plaintiff and Wilson and Day and

AN exchange very pertlnently
remarks that if congress would
give us territorial government we
would very soon demonstrate by
our activity how slow the Dawes
commission works. This is a fair
test. Congress is displeased with
the work of the commission. Let
them give the people whose inter
ssts are affected the right and pow
OK to settle the problems confront
lag them and it will not take four,
five or ten years and there will not
be the pickering and contradiction
over legal interpretations that now
exist. If congress would give us
just two years of self-government
there would be no question left at
the end of that time for the COM
mission to settle.

A Record Breaker.

New York, Feb. 19.-H. Ii.
Vreeland, president of the Metro
politan street railway company,
received a 100000 valentine on
Wednesday. 1t came to him in the
substantial form of a check. 1t
was not from the Metropolitan
company stockholders, and was not
the comrany's money at all. The
valentine was sent by little group
of men who are wealthy and potent
i'll the syndicate that now controls
the Metropolitan destinies, men
who have been made more wealthy
by what they are pleased to regard
as the untiring industry and en-
lightened management of Vreelaud.
They got together, drew on their
personal bank accounts and quietly
sent him this token of good will
which is believed to establish a
new record in the matter of Nalen-
tines.
