These Alarms, Frequently Sent,
Caused Much Annoyance.

During the past month the fire de
partment has been annoyed by receiv
ing false alarms.
On the night Buchtel college was
burning. an alarm was sent in from
box 81. Investigation proved it to be
false, and the Inconvenience Of send
ing a department to make the investi.
CATION was time and apparatus lily
spared from the fighting of the big
fire.
On January 8, an alarm stating
that the plant of the Western Linol-
cum company was on fire was sent
in. The alarm was telephoned from
]. V. Walsh & Company's hardware
store, at pm.
On January 8. shortly after II pm,
from the office of the Brewster Coal
company there was telephoned a
false alarm that the plant Of the
Thorpe & Kile company was on fire.
Officers were vigilant in their search
for clews that would lead to the ap-
prehension of the guilty persons.
When at 2:3O Tuesday afternoon a
false alarm was telephoned to the
Central fire station from the Office of
Yocum & Sons, stating the Thorpe &
Kile company's plant was again on
fire. City Electrician Loomis got in
buggy and drove at once to the of
flee. officer Joe Wilson had mean
while telephoned from South Akron
that certain young boy was suspi-
cioned.
While on his way NJ south on Main
ST., Mr.. Loomis got Officer Baker in
the buggy. They secured a descrip-
tion of the boy who had telephoned
from Yocum's office, and finally locat-
ed him leisurely walking along South
Main st. They stopped and had no
difficulty in getting the boy to accept
the courtesy Of a ride down town.

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chitis, which are the most danger
Gus and fatal diseases, have for
their first indication a persistent
cough, and if properly treated as
soon as this cough appears, are
easily cured. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has proven wonderfully
successful, and gained its wide rep
utation and extensive sale by its
success in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. If it is not bene-
ticial it will not cost you a cent.

ONLY A PRINTER.

The lines below, in regard to the
abused printer, are true and worthy
of consideration. For several years
| have been correspondent for news
papers, and am well acquainted with
the printer, and can truthfully say
that while he may not do every
thing as Jesus would, he is one OF
the brightest and most consistent
toilers on the face of the globe, and
whenever occasion presents itself l
will throw him a boquet:
"He is only a printer. Such was
the sneering remark of a leader in a
circle of aristocracy-the Goldfish
quality. Who was the Earl of Stan
hope2 He was only printer. What
was Prince Edward William and
Prince Napoleon? Proud TO call
themselves printers. The present
Gar of Russia and the Duke of
Battenburg are printers, and the
Emperor of China worked in a pri-
vate printing office almost every
day. William Caxton, the father Of
English literature, was a practical
printer. What were G. P. Morris,
N. P. Willis, James Gale, James
Parker, Horace Greeley, Chas.
Dickens, James buchanan, Simon
Cameron, Schuyler Colfax and Geo.
W. Childs? Printers, all, and
practical ones. Also Bayard Tay-
lor, the poet. Mark Twain, Amos
Cummings, Bret Harte, Opie Reid,
Henry M. Stanley, the African ex-
plorer and auther, are plain print
ers, as we're Artemus Ward Petre-
leum V. Nasty and Sut Lovingood.
Senator Plumb was a printer, and so
is Jas. S. Hogg, of Texas, and the
leader of science and philosophy,
Benz Franklin, in his days made
it his boast that he was printer.
In fact thousands of the most bril-
liant minds in the country are to be
found toiIing in the publishing
houses of large cities and towns. 1t
is not everyone that can be a prin,
ter-brains are absolutely neces-
sary.
