They are 90 feet in height and IS

Evidently there was some dcfact in
the wall, for it gave way at a point
some distance down from the top, and
a great mass of concrete and grain
crashed into the bin adjoining, which
was practically empty.
This mass struck the opposite wall
of the circular bin and plugged a big
hole in it, and through this some of

friends and rela tives buried in the old
burying ground south of town have
been engaged in removing them to the
new cemetary, east of the city, and,
very much to their surprise, have dis
covered that there have been several
instances of petrifaction. The re-

Penglass were found in a remarkable
state of preservation. The features

BETTER GET A SAFE.

Last year the pesky kissing bug
Caused widespread trepdation,
And It was said to be the worst
That ever struck the nation.
For when 1t started ont TO bite
ne'er Disseminated.
AM white and black, and young and old.
We're sadly mutilsted.
And strange and fearful were the tales
That men were often telling
About the hug that on them swoopcd
And caused suoh painful swelling,
And II an eye could not be seen
Because big lip hid It
The fictim solemnly would say
Tie kissing insect did 1t.
And many were the pretty girls
Lamenting swollen faces,
Because they'd bosn subjected to
The kissing bugs embraces.
And many were the loving swains
In similar condition,
While some were 60 disfgured that
They batlied recognition.
But sore ns these Affections were,
Still greater woes ere coming,
For we are told a Aerccr bug
This way is swiftly humming,
And n the scientific chaps
Have not made grleyous error
This bitter from New Mexico
Must be holy terror
II has twoSeorc or more {! legs,
Its face is badly irccklodi
lt's bigger than bumNleocs,
= And all its wings ARE speckled;
Il wears triple jointed beak,
With which il does It's biting,
Aud when IL once gets hold Il stsys
Until it's killed by aghting
The victim Their will feel his taco
Rise like an elevator
And really will not know himself
Until fortnight later,
Al least, some scientists 80 say.
And, IL the truth they're telling,
Before the summer goes We may

Some days ago, it was stated that
Wilkofsky Bros. would decide upon a
location for their proposed steel plant
by April 20. 1t was also stated that
Youngstown, Akron or Barberton
would get the 100000 plant.
Barberton has the best show. No
decision has been reached in the mat
ter. 1t Is a fact that Mr.. o. G. Barber
has made them the best offer. All
three places We're asked for site Of
% acres and cash bonus of $4,000.
What Youngstown offered is not
known, but as far us Akron is concern.
cd, it has not even offered the % acre
site, and II is stated on the best of
authority that it will not give n cash
bonus OF any amount, because it is
regarded as bad business policy. In
reference to q cash bonus from Barber
ton the same policy holds good. 1t is
now up to, Messrs. Wilkofsky to take
their choice.
