Wizards store was opened. There is no
record as to this boat taking produce to
larger markets and in return bringing
the necessaries here, but if it was so, it
was only in part, for up to the year 1349
when the Connecticut and Passumpsjc
railroad was built there was regularly
employed six-horse team to take away
produce and bring in foreign goods.

TALK OF EXTRA SESSION.
Report Revived That the Ohio
Legislature Will Be Called
to Meet Soon.

A special from Columbus to the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer says: There Is more
talk Of an extra session of the legisla-
ture. Senator Archer, one of the leading
Republicans Of the senate, while in the
city last night, stated that there was
serious discussion by the party man.
ayers about calling an extra session to
take up the Toledo centennial question.
He stated that the call would prob
ably not be issued until just before cleo
tion; possibly not until after the election.
but that the people of Toledo would be
given to understand that something was
to be done for them.
In discussing the matter, another Re-
publican senator said that IL the govern
or did call an extra session he had
better write a card saying he was not q
candidate for reelection at the same
time he wrote the call for the session.
This talk of an extra session bobs up
about every thirty days and the public
has come to regard 1t as a joke, but
there Is at this time some discussion of
the matter In high political circles.
Governor Nash said in answer to an
official communication from Mayor
Jones that he would not call an extra
session and some two months ago when
this talk was revived he stated posi-
lively that he would not call for an ex-
ira session.
Governor Nash was out Of the city and
could not be seen in reference to the
rumor.

his campaigning trip through the east

the states through which he had passed.
Mr.. Stevenson made the fiat-footed
declaration that the Democrats would
carry Indiana, and he added:
"Ohio should be put down as very
likely to gle its electoral votes for

strongly to the Democratic than to the
Republican side in this fight, are New
York and Ohio"

|"PNCHED" THE DETECTIVE.
Funny Mishap to a Youngstown
Man Down at CarrOlltOn
Last Week.

A good story has come to light about
Detective Meyer, Youngstown's famous
sleuth, says the Youngstown Telegram.
The substance of the story Is that Doc
was plnched at Carrollton, Carroll
county. last Saturday.
Doc" acknowledges the corn, but the
laugh is evidently against the people
who had him arrested. Here is the story:
Some time ago Patrick Joyce sold a
very fine race horse TO a horseman.
The latter was to take the horse on IS
days trial and II the animal suited him
he was to pay a substantial price for IT,
and If not he was to return 1t at the end
of 45 days. 80
Mr.. Joyce explained to the police last
week that the horseman had refused
to give his horse up at the end Of 45
days and he feared the fellow intended
to keep him without paying a cent.
The chief told DOC" to recover Mr..
.Joyce's horse II possible The detective
finally located the horseman at a county
fair In Carroll county. and in company
with Mr.. Joyce's son, went to the fair
last Saturday to secure the horse. The
detective found the animal in a stable
on the crowded fair grounds and de-
manded that the horseman either pay
for the horse at once or give him u2.
The horseman refused to do either and
DOC" got mad. He walked into the
stable and began untying the horse. The
stableman and number Of the horse
mans friends surrounded the detective
and threatened him with pitchforks
shovels, clubs, stones and every other
weapon they could pick up. But Doc
reached toward his hip pocket and said
something about blowing heads off and
managed to escape alive from the angry
mob with Mr.. Joyce's horse. To gel
square the horseman swore out a war
rant for Docs" arrest on the charge
of pointing firearms and the marshal OF
Carrollton 'pinched" the detective, but
as soon as the Youngstown man ex-
planned his mission he was turned loose
with elaborate apologies, and came
home in triumph with Mr.. Joyce's race
horse.

John Bright on Imperialism.

To the Editor of the News-Democrat:
Much Is said Of our greatness as a
nation; of our great prosperity" We
all have our ideals; and the following by
the late John Bright an eminent British
statesman. is in my idea Of both national
greatness and prosperity, without ad-
dition or substraction. / would like to
see the extract in print, for the benefit
of the public:
II believe there is no permanent
greatness to nation" declared John
Bright, except it be based on NOR
ality. I do not care for military great
ness nor military renown. I care for
the condition Of the people among whom
! live. There is no man in England who
is less likely to speak irreverently Of
the crown and monarchy of England
than I am; but crowns, coronets, mitres,
military displays. the pomp Of war.
wide colonies, and huge empire, are, In
my view, all trifies light as air, and not
worth considering, unless with them you
can have fair share Of comfort. con-
tentment, and happiness, among the
great body Of the people. Palaces,
baronical castles, great halls, stately
mansions, do not make nation.
"The nation in every country dwells
In the cottage; and unless the light Of
your constitution can shine there, un-
less the beauty Of your legislation and
the excellence Of your statesmanship
are impressed there on the feelings and
condition Of the people, rely upon 1t you
have yet to learn the duties Of gov
ernment."

Trust Left Nothing at Leetonia.

Leetonia Reporter: There is nothing
worthy of note doing on the rolling
mill property these days. We might
mention, however, that the Republic
Iron and Steel company is having the
old brick bats at the mill loaded and
shipped to where they will be pulver-
ized. The firm is bound to let nothing
go to waste. This is utilitarianism with
a vengeance; but after all 1t may be of
thepenny wise and pound foolish variety.
The old lumber is here yet. Perhaps 1t
would be gone long ago were 1t worth
the cost OF shipping
