define Republican policies today.
These gentlemen last week told the
Board OF City Commissioners that the

Akron's form of government is to do
away with tho Board plan. with It's
attendant non.partlsan humbug, and
restore to the people the right to

accountable TO the people for their
official acts.
This was the very essence of the
reforms proposed by the Ohio Munic,

Ito plans to the citizens of Akron AT

"There are few cities in the country

number of labor organizations" said
a well known travelling salesman in

SMALLPOX CASES.
Two New Patients Discovered Yes
terday.

Two new cases Of smallpox were sent
t. the pest house yesterday by DR..
Mayo. One was NJ. ". Rowland, a Rio
Grande Western laborer, who resides
at 157 South Fourth West street, and
the other was Charles Ferguson, the 10
year-Old son of William F. Ferguson,
who lives on the corner of South Tenn
pie and Fifth West streets. Both cases
were well developed-so much so that
it would appear that an attempt had
been made to conceal their existence,
and Drs. Mayo, King and Beatty all
expressed themselves as believing that
there are a number Of other cases in
the city which are being suppressed.
They also declared that they will
make it hot for all such people, for
they intend that the laws Of the city
and state shall not be trified with.
There is one patient in the hospital
now, who will be prosecuted Tor dis
obeying the health ordinance, as soon
as he is allowed to leave. DR.. Mayo is
confident that this man viii be pun
ished. and says that it viii mean at
least sixty days more confinement.
He also hopes that it viii prove a
warning TO all those who are likely to
be delinquent in reporting patients af-
fiicted with the disease.

KRUGER'S PROPOSAL
OF TERMS OF PEACE

noon it is learned that the peace ru-
mOrs were founded on the fact that
President Kruger has appealed to Lord
Salisbury for d cessation of hostil-
tiles. Offering at length by cable the
terms which ne is willing to accept.
These, however, are not taken serious
~, as they include practically nothing
more than what the Transvaal~ gov
eminent offered prior to the issuing
of the British ultmatum.
Official circles here regard the propo-
sition as merely ruse of the Beers to
gain time and do not consider that
President Kruger is yet ready to con-
slider the sweeping demands which
Great Britain win make as reimburse
ment for the loss of life and great ez-
penditUre.
It was understood that President
Krugers advances had met with an
emphatic rejection at the hands of
Lord Salisbury. who is believed to
have said that no such attempt to re-
tain the independence of the Trans
wall can be considered for a moment
by the British government.
