PARLEY'S VIBW OF IT.
Cleveland's Mayor Has an
Opinion on the Lessons in
the Bribery Sensation.

The Chicago Record wired Mayor Far
ley, of Cleveland, for an expression as
to the councimanic bribery investiga-
tion, and Mayor Farley wired the fol-
lowing reply:
To the editor Of the Record.
1t would be improper for me to express
any opinion as to the merits Of the in
vestigation of charges that councilmen
have been bribed during the progress
of the investigation Of the charges by
committee of the city council. The
fruit the investigation has already
borne in the shape Of the arrest of one
member Of the council and the very
serious allegations that have been made
under oath during the sessions Of the
committee emphasize, however, one Of
the most vital lessons that Cleveland
and some other American cities must
learn. The lesson Is the necessity that
the best elements of ctty's population
pay attention to municipal politics.
Good citizens must learn that they can
not safely leave the anairs Of their
cities to be bait for the cupidity Of
cheap ward politicians, and no man,
however proud his social position may
be, can better serve his country than
by helping to give the city in which he
lives and makes his money good gov
erEment.

LIFT ON THBlR

Ago Never Heard From Him.
A STRANGE SUIT FOR DIVORCE
was FILED In Common Pleas Court This
Morning BY Canton woman Circuit

band, James H. Conkel. They wer mar
ried on June Sd, 1897. and on the wedding

tributed to her support since. He dis
appeared from the city, and has been
heard Of on one or two occasions, but
his present whereabouts are unknown. 4
Service Of summons, therefore, cannot
be made and notice will have to be
given by advertisement.
Conkell's disappearance seems to be
case Of atavism. as his father, ]. H.
Conkell, a marble dealer of this city,
disappeared most mysteriously SIX or
seven years ago, his disappearance cre-
ating quite a sensation at the time.
FAMOUS CASE RECALLED.
He had gone to Leetonia and collected
800 or so for the firm with which he was
connected, and from that time was not
seen again. Public excitement ran high
over the matter and citizens Of Leetonia
almost mobbed the sexton Of the Ceme-
terry, with whom Conkell had last been
seen, charging him with murder. AS
there was no proof above suspicion, the
sexton escaped, and few years later
Conkell was discovered in the south en-
gagged in business.
Mrs. Conkell, the plaintiff in the d.
vorce case, awaited the time prescribed
in the statute. and then asked for d.
vorce and restoration TO her maiden
name. Attorney w. o. Werntz, of Cam
ton, represents the plaintiff
TO BE APPEALED.
The cases of Ruth ]. Grant vs. J. J.

Bry vs.. Charles A. Bry, was continued

Carty's court room Friday morning, ow-
ing to lack of time elapsing since SER
