The Huntley-Jackson Stock company
opens a weeks engagement at the
Opera House Monday evening in Lii
liam Lewis's famous military play,
"For Liberty and Love" This com
pany seems to have struck the popular
fancy of the theater-going public, as
they have been smashing all records
in some of the largest towns in the
repertoire belt, with change of bill
at each performance. The reason they
assert, is that they are giving the
people what they want, large scenic
shows with numerous specialties. Ev-
erything is put on with careful atten-
ton paid to detail, the same. as If they
were getting high prices This com,
pany was organized at "The Bljou"
Theater, Chicago, opening their sea-
son July 31st, .'9S, during the hottest
weather, and made. such a success that
the management Immediately arranged
to send it out, playing the best towns,
and giving the public big scenic pro-
ductions of "rho Fast Mall "The
Tornado" and "The World' at popu-
lar prices, Since then they have re-
placed "The Fast Mail' with "The
Fatal Card" and several other large
productions, including "The Innocent
Sinner" "For Liberty and Love"
"Just Before Dawn" "The Tornado"
'Nlichael strogoff'' and "The World"

DEATHS.
Reports Show Rate Of
One Per Cent.
During the Year 41,392 Inhabitants
Passed AWAY.

There were over 10000 deaths in
Ohio last year. On an estimate of a.
100000 as the population Of the State
there is death rate of but per cent
The vital and nosological statistics as
completed by Secretary of State Kin
ney, show the deaths for the past year
to have been as follows: White, male,
L17,242; female, 1851; colored. male,
412; female, 362, and sex unknown,
20, making a total in the State for the
year of 1882, and the previous year
the total was 1920. In both these
years Hamilton county is not reported,
and Cuyahoga not nearly in full. Ham
ilton county had about $500 deaths
last year, and the report In the sta
tistics sent to the Secretary of State
from Cuyahoga is about $500 short
of fair estimate of deaths for that
county. BY adding these numbers
to the total as shown by the report
of Mr.. Kinney the deaths for the
State for the year would seem to be
about 1892. :.
OF the 1882 shown by the table
the social relations of the deceased
were: Single, male, s,1s9; female,
GAGS; married, male, 6,s95; femaie,
5.1Ss, widowed, male. 2,17s; female,
3,070; unknown, male, 800; female.
l19O, and 20 sex unknown.

Of law should not he ex-
cused on the grounds Of unrighteous-
ness IL should be enforced, not by
officers selected by mobs, but by the
the constables, and police, the
true representatives Of law. And ev-
cry good citizen who has the welfare
of the community Mt heart who de-
sires peace and order to prevail, should
lend these officers their vigorous, right
eous, cordial support in the enforce
ment Of law The principal thing In
enforcing the law Is to remove the
cause of crime. Those who make n
study of crime always endcavor to
learn the cause. The cause removed,
crime will decrease. He then spoke
of the large per cent of crime due to
drink, Sabbath breaking, etc.
He dwclt at length upon the night Of
the riot, saying that anarchy reigned
for period of six hours. He related
how number of boys secured the
patrol wagon and rode in it about the
streets, and how one boy was heard
to exclaim to people on the streets:
"We are running the city tonight"
eve see the officer in uniform, par.
ade his beat with club in open hand.
The club is a symbol of office. Its
presence at once causes a feeling OF
fear. One policeman informed the
speaker the other day that one blow,
from the club, struck in the right place
would subdue any individual. IL
should not be used except in emer-
gency in defense of the officers life,
and should be carried concealed.
"The officer of law must be ever
watchful to detect crime. In the off,
GERS of law the peace of the communi-
ty rests, the people can lay on their
pillows at night and with confidence
rely Oh the officers doing their duty,
And in doing this no man deserves
more praise than the officer of law"

Company Will Double
Track Its Line
Between Bedford and Cieve-
land at Once.
Liberal Concessions Offered to Cuya.
hoga County.

The Northern Ohio Traction com
pany, operating the Akron, Bedford &
Cleveland electric suburban line be-
tween Cleveland and Akron, has asked
the Commissioners of Cuyahoga coun-
ty for 25-year extension of fran
chise, and in return agrees to pay 500
mile per year and give other con-
cessions, says the Cleveland World.
In return for the franchise the COM
pany wants to double track it's road
between the north line of Bedford vii
lage to the city limits, and from the
south line of the village to. the divid-
ing line between Cuyahoga and SUM
nit counties.
At the present time the company is
operating under 25-year franchise
and is equipped with single tracks
The Commissioners were not asked
for the right of way through Bedford
village, because they have no jurisdic-
Ition over that section of the county
and the matter Of granting franchise
in the village rests entirely with the
officials of the village. &
In the resolution drawn up by the
railway company for the Commission
ers to approve, the company is given
the right to carry passsssngeNyft ,Paggage'
freight, express matter and mail. The
company agrees to maintain the roads,
lbuild all necessary culverts and keep
them in repair and to fill the roadbed
with cinders or any other hard sub
stance suitable for teams and road
vehicles, and to plank all crossings
and private rights of way.
| The Traction company agrees to
operate cars at least once every hour
between $50 am. and 9:30 pm, and
to charge not more than 2la cents n
mile. providing that no fare is less
