establishment Of a mammoth brick, tile,
terra Gotta and roofing tile plant, the
manufacture Of sewer pipe being con-
templated.
The concern was organized to do
business in Cuba and the machinery,
amounting to $4,000 or $4,000, was to
be shipped from here to Havana. The
outfit was ready for shipment when
the news Of the defalcation arrived.
Part Of the outfit was already on the
way, but the bulk of IL was not yet
shipped and was held up.

LEGALlZED EVIL NO. 10.

The following parody on the 23d
Psalm was recently sent to me from a
good christian brother in Indiana, and
as we have some people in Stark county
to whom this parody applies, ask that
you publish it.
"The politician is my shepherd; I shall
not want any good thing during the
campaign. He leadeth me in the saloon
for my votes sake; he filleth my pocket
with good cigars; my glass of beer run
meth over. He prepareth my ticket for
me in the presence of my better judg-
ment. Yea, though 1 walk through the
mud and the rain to vote for him, and
shout myself hoarse when he is elected,
straightway he forgetteth me. 10
when I meet him in his own Office, he
knoweth me not. Surely the wool has
been pulled over mine eyes all the days
of my life."
Truly wretched must some men feel
that have been thus deceived, to vote
as their party leaders have dictated,
never stopping to think that the edicts
Of the bosses like Geo. B. Cox and others
of like faith, must be carried out at all
hazards, and thus the "canteen" laws
are nullified and trampled upon, and
that politicians may trample upon
the christian manhood Of the state and
nation and the morality Of the people.
The christian voters in Ohio who are
made to believe that they could safely
vote for political party that boasts
that the Dow tax law is all right and
that through the aid Of the Anti-Saloon
league could get local option, are be-
ginning to see that with liquor bosses
like Geo. B. Cox in the lead no favors
for temperance or the suppression Of the
liquor traffic need be expected SO long as
the powers that be are kept in power.
Those that have convictions against
legalizing the liquor traffic must stop
voting for license parties or party
that says I'VE point with just pride
to the Dow law" and no longer be de-
ceived by tricky politicians. The parody
just quoted should open the eyes of all
the enemies Of legalized evil.

LAND VALUES
WILL Be LOWER.
Decennial Appraisers Meet And
Compare Notes.
FARM PRICES HAVE DECREASED
And the Appraisers Will Put the vaIua-
tlon Less Than Zen Years Ago--Ap-
praisers Conferring and Trying
to solve Their Difficulties.

The decennial land appraisers for
Stark county, who for the past six
weeks have been working on the ap-
praisement of the real estate Of the
county, met in the court house, Satur-
day, to compare notes. 1t is the desire
OF the appraisers to have the adjust
ment of values In all the townships
based upon the same standard and IL
was therefore deemed wise to get to-
gether and compare the work already
done to see how ID was going. There
were also some questions some did not
understand and the auditor is giving
such help as he can in these cases.
The appraisers are getting along quite
well with the work but some of them
VIII have hard time to finish by the
time the reports should be in on July
2.
The figures already fixed show that
the appraisement for the farm lands
In the county is going to be lower this
time than ten years ago. The ap-
praisers say that the land is not worth
as much and they are compelled to
put the value lower than it was be-
fore.
In a few places where towns have
spread out some of the adjacent terri.
tory is little higher but unless the
towns are appraised materially higher
than before the valuation will show a
decrease. This will mean that the
county will have to economize more in
its expenditures or it will have to raise
the rate Of taxation to make ends
meet
Some Of the appraisers find coNsidera-
BILE difficulty in the work and they
declare it is no snap. Some cannot
find the lands that the books say should
be there and some find lands that there
are no owners for and no recourse at
all. They are working along as best
they can, however, and all the tangles
are expected to be Strengthened out
finally.

The proposed deal for the control Of

A Flying Star.

On a summer evening you may see
Arcturus high up in the south or south
west in June or July and farther down
in the west in August or September.
You will know 1t by its red color. That
star has been flying straight ahead
ever since astronomers began TO OBJ
serve it at such a speed that it would
run from New York to Chicago In q
small fraction of a minute. You would
have to be spry to rise from your
chair, put on your hat and overcoat
and gloves and go out on the street
while ii was crossing the Atlantic
ocean from New York to Liverpool.
And yet if you should watch that star
all your life, and live as long as Me-
thuselah, you would not be able to
see that il moved at all. The journey
that it would make in thousand years
would be as nothing alongside its dis
tance.-Professor Simon Newcomb in

honey being as much esteemed 10y

birds flutterings to and fro between
himself and the rocks, finds the honey,

one of joy and pleasure. as much as to
say. Thank you very much"

The social rank OF a family In Swift
zerland Is estimated by the age Of its
cheese, and the greater the respect due
to or the affection for guest the older
is the cheese set before him. There
are In each pantry at least as many
cheeses as there are boys and girls In
the family. for at the birth OF every
child 6. cheese is made.
1t is first cut into on his or her we'd
ding day, on which festive occasion all
the guests partake OF piece Of the
groom's and the brides cheese in order
TO secure for them all earthly thrift
and happiness. The rest is served as
a token Of friendly souvenir and heart
felt mourning after the tomb has clos
ed over his or her earthly career.
Moreover, when a Swiss youth falls
in love and wishes to pay court to the
girl of his heart he goes to her father
and asks permission to share the fami-
ly dinner next Sunday. This is al
ways granted If he is respectable, for
ii would be considered a deadly insult
to refuse. The anxious question In his
mind is, "Will papa bring out the
cheeseT'
Papa does not usually hurry to re-
lieve his fears, having the family dig
nifty in mind and wishing to proceed
with due deiberation. If he is indeed
satisfied with the sutton, he at length
rises from his seat, goes solemnly to
the cupboard, takes down the oldest
piece of cheese, splits it and hands a
piece to the youth and one to the maid
en-, and from the moment they have
tasted it they are betrothed.
