ACKELSON SENT
TO THE WORKS.
He Pleaded With the Mayor to
Be Lenient With Him.
HE MADE A SCENE IN COURT
wept Copiously and Promised That II
Would BE Good IL the Mayor
Gave Him Another
Chance.

William Ackleson came to grief when
he was arraigned before the mayor late
Wednesday afternoon, and he wept and
grieved and quivered and pleaded with
the mayor to be lenient in his sentence.
Grocer Dewitt had been notified to ap-
pear before the mayor to testify during
the evening, but it appears that Ack-
elson desired to plead guilty to the
charge, and the mayor gave him an OPP
portunity to explain his actions. Ack-
elson stated that he did not intend to oe-
fraud any of the people who had APP
peared against him, but that he was
really in need.
BE easy on me- said Ackelson to the
mayor, "and I'll promise you I'll never
do it again. It'll he u great accommU-
dation to me If "olll be easy on me-
The mayor replied that whatever con-
fldence he had IN Ackelsou was hctray-
ed when the offender skipped out after
agreeing to appear on his own recogni.
zance This cause the prisoner to weep
still more. The mayor then proceeded
to explain to him that n severe sen
tence ought to be imposed upon him for
the fraudulent acts he committed and to
which he had pleaded guilty, but that
he did not desire TO DC hard or him, 50
he assessed Ackelson IS and costs. the
later aggregating about SIS, and SEN
fenced him to the workhouse for 95
days, making about 81 days servitude.
While the mayor was announcing tho
sentence, Mr.. w. d. Thenbald stepped
into the court room and Witnessed the
proceedings. AS the marshal led ACk-
elson out of the room and into the hall,
Theobald stepped up to him and asked
him what he had done with the hand
cart which he had obtained from the
later's plumbing shop some time ego.
Ackelson looked surprised, but imme-
diately recovered and stated that The
obald could get the hand cart by calling
at point mentioned. 1t appears that
Ackelson had visited Theobald a short
time ago and represented to Theobald
that John Skeels had sent him there
for q hand cart and that 1t would be
returned very soon, but that he failed
to return it. A number of other cred
itors Of Ackelson have turned up since
the case was begun, and there may be
further trouble in store for him when
he is released from the workhouse. He
was taken to that institution immedi-
ately after being sentenced

THEY WON'T PAY.
Commissioners Notify Stenogra
pliers That Bills For Ma
terials Will Not be Paid.

The county commissioners have made
another move to lop off a source of ex-
pense to the county. Heretofore it has
been the custom of the court steno-
graphers to purchase paper, fountain
pens, type writer ribbons and such
materials as they use in their work and
have the same charged to the county.
The commissioners have been paying
these bills but they, on Monday, passed
resolution and notified the steno-
graphers that hereafter they would not
pay any bills that the stenographers
contract. If they want any material
that the county is to furnish here
after they will have to ask the commits
sioners for it and If the commissioners
thing it is their business to furnish 1t
it will be secured if there is any money
in fund.

FOR THE FARMERS.
There Will Be a Free Distribu-
tion of Improved Varieties
of Sorghum.

The United States department Of ag-
riculture has, for number of years,
been conducting experiments in the inn
provement Of varieties of sorghum. The
result of this work is considerable in
crease in the suerose contents of several
varieties, which the department is now
offering for free distribution to the far
mers of the country through the medi-
um of state agricultural experiment sta
tions. The Ohio station at Wooster, will
receive q consignment of this seed,
which will be distributed free to farmers
within the state who wish to improve
the quality of their sorghum cane.
Since the quantity of seed is limited
and since the object of distribution Is to
furnish the farmers with start of bet
ter varieties of sorghum, the seed will
only be sent out in quantities sufficient
to plant one acre or less.
Farmers in Ohio who wish to secure
some of this seed should apply at once
to Ohio Agricultural Experimental Sta
ton, Wooster, Ohio.

the army. When he left Manila he was
entirely blind in the right eye and near

GREENWALT'S
HOTEL BURNED
Was Reduced to Ashes Tuesday
Night.
THE STABLE WENT WITH IT
And six Horses Were Roasted to Death
There Was No Insurance on the
Buildings and the Loss
VIII BE Large.

Greentown, the thriving little village
in the northern portion of Stark county,
experienced one of the most disastrous
Tuesday night, and as result the prin-
cipal hotel and the large stable connec-
ted with it are today a mass of smoul-
dering ruins and ashes. The hotel,
which stood on the corner of the pub
lie square, was two-story frame struc-
ture and was owned and operated by
John Greenwalt. a former resident OF
Canton. The fire started in the stable,
in the rear of the hotel, and in a short
time it was seething mass of flames
and it's demolition was only a question
of a short time. The flames rapidly
communicated to the hotel building and
a strenuous effort was put forth to sub
due them, but the work proved Of nc
avail. The flames shot out in all di-
rections and the heat became so intense
that further fighting was useless, and
the building was left to the mercy of the
| fiery element. The structure was en-
tirely consumed with it's contents and il
| is said that there was no Insurance or
either the hotel or stable. The loss will
| be considerable.
The guests of the hotel and the EN-.
| ployes escaped without much trouble
| removed before the building was con
sumed.
Nothing of value in the stable was re
moved and it is reported that six horses
perished.

NEW INDUSTRIES.
Osnaburg is Agitated Over the
Establishment of a Can
ming Factory.

Movements are now on foot for the
organization of new industries in Osna-
burg that will give that village quite a
boom and probably increase the pop
ulation about 20 per cent. Capital is
being interested in the establishment
of big canning factory and papers
for the Incorporation Of a company with
capital of $4,000 are being prepared
now. 1t is proposed to can all kinds
of vegetables and fruits and the indus
try is expected to develop into quite
an establishment. Osnaburg has fac
tory for the making tin cans and when
the canning factory is started it will
take in, the can factory. This shop has
not been running for a couple of years
but the building and machinery are
all in good shape.
Capital is also being interested in the
formation of a company with $4,000
stock for the making Of fine glazed clay
ware. 1t is expected to make jardiniers,
fancy bowls and all kinds of fine glazed
pottery goods. The projectors declare
Osnaburg has the best clay in the coun-
try for that kind of goods and the plan
to organize a company Is meeting with
much favor. If the factory gets started
it will employ a large number of men.

DESPONDENT GIRL
TRIES ARSENIC.
Affianced Had Been Killed a
Few Days Prior.
DTCTOR SAVES HER LIFE.
She Is Being Closely Watched as 1t Is
Feared She May Make Another
Effort at SeIf-Destruc-

Alliance, March S.-Miss Artie Pat
terson, aged % years, daughter of Geo.
G.. Patterson, attempted suicide at her
home, S44 Patterson street, by swallow
ing q dose of arsenic. Miss Patterson
was employed at the Delicatessen res
taurant and was the affianced Of Walter
Perdue, who was killed while on duty
as a brakeman on the c. &S z. railway
about two weeks ago. Since Perdue's
death Miss Patterson has been very de-
spondent and had repeatedly expressed
the wish that she might die.
She procured quantity of arsenic and
swallowed a portion of 1t. Not long af-
terwards members of the family noticed
that something was wrong with the girl,
as she was frothing at the mouth and
acting strangely. Upon being question
ed Miss Patterson admitted she had Ia
ken poison with suicidal intent. A ply
sician was hastily summoned who work
ed heroically to counteract the effects
of the poison and within a few hours
she was pronounced out of danger.
The family has been sorely afflicted
of late years, the father being sick
much of the time. One son. John, died
of typhoid fever in 1898, which was con-
tracted while in Cnba with company K
Of the Eighth regiment.
Another son Will was employed as q
brakeman on the c. c. e. S. railroad and
was killed two months later.
Miss Patterson is being closely watch
ed by members of the family who feat
she will make another attempt to take
her life. The case is sad in the extreme
and the family deserves the sympathy
| Of the community.
