Commercial house over the river, and
gave out the information that he was a

iiciting advertising for a railroad di-
rectory, which he said he was getting
out for the Toledo, Fremont & Norwalk

cards for the railway and other matter
concerning his work as an organizer.

chants the advantage Of the valuable
advertising space. and get out and dis
tribute 5000 of the books, at the mol

merchants bit on the Offer and For
roster went to Ernsberger's job office
and ordered $50 of the books printed,
Being a stranger, Mr.. Ernsberger made
him deposit IS as a security, and that is
all ne got out of IL so far.
Forester put In an appearance at the
office and got 80 of the books. and went
round and collected the money for the
advertising, which must have amounted
to 800 or more, and then he went over
to his hotel and began making prepara-
tions to leave. He tried to jump his
board bill. ,,
Ernsberger heard that he was ready
to leave town, and together with Po-
liceman Held started to look for HIM.
They found him at the hotel, and when
asked for the money he cody replied
that He had gotten all he wanted out

Mcbride was in command of the Irish

country and served with distinction un-

Mr.. Mcbride spoke very enthuMas-

in very friendly terms, but the fact
that its existence has been kept close
secret is sufficient to indicate it's au-

The czar naturally pleads his Illness as
a sufficient excuse for not interfering.
Mr.. Kruger, when cheered by the

WORLD IS TURNED AROUND.
Canton Is Now Due East of

And Cleveland Is Due West Of Wheeling
.-.Great Feat Accomplished by the
w. & L. e. Railroad.

Ever since railroads were invented,
railroad companies have been making
improvements in their lines. Some of
these improvements have been so re-
markable as to astonish even old rail-
road men.
The latest, and perhaps the most gi-
gantic engineering feat ever accom-
plished by any large corporation, was
inaugurated, Sunday, December g. when
the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad
company turned the world around. 1t
Is not known just which Of the COM
pany's officials deserves credit for this
latest enterprise, but that the feat was
accomplished and everything passed off
smoothly the first day must be very
gratifying to the company.
On and after Sunday as cleaned from
the information given in the company
official schedule, all trains leaving
Cleveland for Wheeling, w. Va, are
scheduled as east bound" and trains
from Wheeling to Cleveland are west
bound
For the benefit of the local patrons
of the road, who perhaps do not know
that the globe has been given such a
sudden twist, the information is added
that w. e. l.. e. trains yet cross East
Tuscarawas street in Canton at right
angels, whether east or west bound.
Up to q late hour the wires have car
ried no information to the effect that
the sudden twist has been felt in for
ign lands.
The Wheeling has been making inn
provements a speciality, since 1t as
sumed control of the old C. C. e. S.
Newer and better train service has been
put into effect; larger and faster en-
gines are expected to arrive almost any
day, which will greatly relieve the CON
gested condition of the freight traffic,
and, at the same time help to improve
the passenger service.
With these improvements and a di-
rect "east" and west bound" trunk
line between Cleveland, Canton and
Wheeling. railroad men say that great
things may now be expected of the
