"HERE, YOU!"
How Representative Snyder
Squelched an Unruly Mem
ber In the House.

A Columbus special to the Plain Dea-
Ter says of the manner in which Repre-
sentative Snyder presided over the
house yesterday:
Adams speech created considerable
amusement and Speaker Pro Tenn. Sny-
der vainly strived to preserve order.
Adams wouldn't be shut off and waved
his arms and shouted his sentiments
regarding honest management of public
funds, while dozens of Republicans
tried to put a stop to him by points Of
order. Finally the speaker pounded his
gavel until the head nearly flew off and,
pointing at the gesticulating member
from Coshocton, shouted: Here, you!"
This had the desired effect While de-
cidedly unconventional, it stopped Ad-
ans, besides putting the house in a
roar,

THE LAST CENT PAID.
All Differences Growing Out OF
the Maudru Affair Have
Been Adjusted.

The last of the shortages coming
down from Mr.. Maudru's term of office
as county treasurer was settled We'd
nesday and the estate relieved from all
further claims. In the previous settle
ment everything had been in except
ing some funds that had been collected
from express companies, about which
there was litigation at the time and
which We're therefore not put on the
duplicate at the time of the collection.
These sums amounted to $69O,S4. After
Mr.. Maudrus death these taxes be-
came good and the county asked the
estate to make good the money col
lected. 1t was refused and suit was
brought. At the last term of court the
county got judgment for the amount
with interest, making in all $9l3,60, This
judgment was paid in to the county
treasurer Wednesday and the county
commissioners gave the estate / receipt
for all shortages that have been dis
covered in the past or any that may be
discovered in the future, affecting Mr.
Maudru's term,

SUPREME COURT
Hands Down Two Decisions in
Stark County Cases That
Were Heard.

The supreme court of Ohio has hand
ed down two decisions in Stark county
cases this week The ore is the case Of
CeiesIine Atkins OF Alliance. against
the city CT Alliance. Size Suel in the
court for damages by reason of the cree
ton Of the big bridge over the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks. C. c.
Bow represented the plaintiff and j. A.
Craine the city. The plaintiff got a
verdict for $1,000. The case went clear
to the supreme court and the verdict
has just been affirmed.
MOTION OVERKJy.Ep.
The other case was on a motion in
the supreme court. 1t was the City Ma
tional bank of Canton against w. c.
Pippitt ct al. The bank had a judg-
ment for 1900 and levied on a farm
owned partly by Pippitt in Ashland
county. In the trial at Ashland the
plaintiff was defeated, it appearing that
the land had been transferred prior to
the attachment. The bank, however,
proclaimed the transfer was fraudu-
lent. They held that the transfer was
not made till after the levy but the deed
had been dated back and that Pippltt
had gotten Frank Kibler to acknow-
ledge the signatures and help push the
case through. The bank took the case
up to supreme court and the defen-
dants moved to strike the bill of eX-
ceptionsl and petition in error from the
files. The court overruled the motion,

APPRAISER NOT
HIGHEST COURT.
Commissioners and Boards OF
Equalization.
WILL HAVE A SAY LATER.
Many Appraisers Favor Taxing Property
to Its Sale Value Ex-Auditor Manly
Tells of the Troubles Ten
Years Ago.

The county auditors deputies have
been working for the past couple OF
weeks getting ready for the new land
appraisers who are to set the price at
which all land is to be taxed for the
next ten years in Stark county.
A complete copy Of the duplicate for
his respective territory will be furnish
ed to each one of the appraisers. This
will show the land in his territory, the
owner of the same, and the price at
which it has been taxed during the
past ten years. The appraisers will
also be furnished with maps and plats
when the time comes. When the last
land appraisement was made in 1890
p. l.. Manly was county auditor. In
speaking of the work then done he said
that it was a big job but after the ap-
praisers got to work they finished it
up in about six weeks. After the ap-
praisers had completed their duties, Mr..
Manly says, the county commissioners
had sessions for about a month every
day at which they heard the grievances
of people who were dissatisfied and If
there appeared to be an injustice in the
figures set by the appraisers the COM
missioners changed the valuation as
their ideas of equity demanded. A day
was set for each township and the peo-
pie who wanted any change had to
come at the time set. In the cities the
equalizing was done by the boards of
equalization of the respective corpora
tions.
Mr.. Manly said he thought the valua-
ton was raised some at the last ap-
praisement but he thought it should
be lowered now as real estate was not
as good price now as then.
Auditor Reed has not vet received
any instructions from the state auditor
as to what will be the manner of ap-
praising this year The auditors, as a
rule, are in favor of taxing land for it's
full sale value, but if it is done the
people will probably raise howl and
make 1t lively for the commissioners
when they come to serve as an equaliz-
ing board after the appraisers are
through.
The auditor figures that the ap-
praisement will cost the county from
SO, 900 to $4,000 and at the present rate
of expenditure it is deemed doubtful
the money will be in fund to pay the
men for their work when it is done.
This will have to come out of the
county fund and it is already over
drawn about $4,000. The money from
taxes Just collected will I'LL At up again
but expenses will run on just the same
and 1t is very likely, unless strict
economy is practiced from this time on,
that the fund will be drawn out again.

WHAT TAYLER Is AFTER.
Knows His Constituents and
Proceeds to Jump Onto the
Necks of MOrmOns.

, j. II. Kennedy, New York correspon-
dent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
sends the following to that paper re-
garding Congressman r. w. Tayler
and the prosecution he is conducting
of the Roberts case:
"Those who have criticised Represen-
tative Tayler, of Ohio, for his course in
connection with the admission of Nor.
mon Roberts to congress-" said a prom.
inent Ohioan today, may know all
about the law and about Mormanism
but they don't know much about Ohio"
'In what way?"
Let me illustrate. There was q New
Englander who moved to New York
and set up a fine establishment on Fifth
avenue. OF course he had a butler. One
day he called that official in and said
to him: Commencing with breakfast
tomorrow 1 want you to serve three
kinds of home made pie with each
meal
The man gasped. Pie three times a
day. said he. 1t is impossible. 1t never
has been done. 1t is all against the
sponded: L don't know much about
conventions, except in politics, but l
know all about my rich old bachelor
uncle, who is coming down from Maine
on a visit. So it is pie three times a
day or a new butler
Tayler comes from that portion of
| Ohio represented by Columbiana and
Mahoning counties, filled with old fash
ioned New England Congregationalists
and Presbyterians. He may know lit
tie about congressional conventions,
but man with his long head and hard
sense knows all about his constituents
and county conventions. The more he
jumps on the poor Norman the more
votes he gets next time. If he should
keep Roberts out it will make him gov
ernor of Ohio. If he would take shot
gun and do him UP it would make him
president so far as Ohio goes"
There is often a grain Of truth in a
bushel of eXaggeration.

Monday morning, the 26th day of Feb
ruary. Judge McCarty Wednesday
morning called the attorneys in the

KNOCKED OUT
THE JUDGMENT.
Court Renders a Decision In
a Local Controversy.
THE WEST BROOKFIELD CASE
Injunction Made Perpetual and Question
of Site Left For the Future
Alliance Woman Gets
Divorce,

Judge McCarty took up the hearing of
cases in court room No. l Tuesday
morning. The first suit to come to his
attention was that of w. S. Davidson's S
guardian against Peter Shear and 9TH
ers. Davidson is insane. He had been
in the Shear block on Tuscarawas street
with a little store and Shear sued him
for rent and got judgment for some
thing over $50 in Justice Reigner's court.
DaVidsons guardian then sued in COM
mon pleas to set aside the judgment.
Attorney Craine represented DaVidson's S
guardian and w. ]. Piero defended the
case for Shear. The plaintiff claimed
that the service in the justice court was
defective and that Furthermore the rec
ords in the lower court had been doc
tored. 1t was claimed that the judg-
ment had not been entered up on the
record within the four days allowed by
law but afterward had been put on and
dated back. The court sustained the
position of the plaintiff and knocked out
the judgment
SCHOOL BOARD CASE.
In the case of Peter Scharles against
the board of education of West Brook
field, Judge McCarty rendered a deci
sion without further hearing. The
board of education had decided to erect
new school building and had selected
a site for the purpose. The site did not
suit some of the taxpayers and they
came into court to get an injunction
to stop the building. They claimed that
there was no money in fund and that
the site was not a good one anyway.
A temporary injunction had been grant
ed at the last term of court and the
matter was up for final adjudication
perly represented the plaintiffs ana Mr..
Pomerene and Prosecutor Day We're for
the board of education. The lawyers
agreed that the money was not in fund
and that there was nothing for the
court to do, therefore, but to make the
injunction perpetual. 1t was done by
agreement of the attorneys but the
question of the suitability of the site
selected, has been held over for further
consideration.
