0uartermast stcr OF Company T
Leaves tho Town with
Shortage OF 5000.

Akron, Aug. flames Limbert, for
several years quartermaster sergeant
of Company +, and an employe of the
Werner company, has disappeared, and
neither his family nor his employers
know what has become of him.
Limbert was employed in the office
of the shipping department of the Wer-
ner company under Capt. Herman Wier-
ner. He was always found by Captain
Werner to be perfectly trustworthy and
so when the members of Company
started the movement year ago to
raise a fund to build a memorial mon
ument. 1t was no more than natural
that Limbert as quartermaster, was
given charge of the money.
Upon investigation 1t has been found
that Limbert has made no accounting
of the 5000 or more that was turned
over to him. and none of 1t was depos-
tied in any of the banks as he was in
structed to do.
II is believed by the officers Of the
company that he spent the. money In
small amounts from time to time and
at last found himself unable to replace
it. Fearing that he would get into
trouble because of the shortage he lett
for parts unknown. No effort has been
or probably will be made by the men,
bers of the company to apprehend their
treasurer. HiC wife had no knowledge
of the matter and was not informed
of his intention to leave.

PROTEST TO PRESIDENT
From Striking Maehinists -
Say They Are Being Dis
eriminatcd Against.

The following message was received
by the president Thursday from the
Tacoma, Washington, striking machine
lists: ~
Moran Bros, at Seattle, with a strike
on, involving all iion workers, have
been awarded government contract,
while men on the government work at
Bremerton have been laid off on ac-
count Of lack of work. A member Of
the Metal Trades association here made
statement before witnesses that the
association has influence with the ad-
ministration and that influence has
brought about change in plans"
A press dispatch from Tacoma says
that the occasion Of the sending OF the
telegram Is the fact that contract for
the repair of the Seward had been
awarded to the Moran firm while the
force of men at the Bremerton naval
station has been reduced and that this
course has led to the report concerning
the influence with the administration
and the consequent protest of tho ma
chinist.

COL. cLEM's TITLE.
How He Won the Name Which
He Has carried Proudly Ever
Since the War.

Col. John L. Glenn. department quar-
termaster of Porto Rico. who visited
the president in company with Hon.
e. s. Wilson, of IIbnon, Wednesday,
stopped off in Columbus, Thursday, OH
his way from Canton to his former
home in Newark. He was stationed
for ten years at the Columbus barracks
and is well known in that city. His
days visit there recalled to an old
friend the manner in which Col. Glenn
acquired his title as "The Original
Drummer Boy" and he thus relates
the incident in Columbus evening pa
per:
Colonel Glenn has a famous war rec
ord. He was the original Drummer
Boy of Shiloh" and Chickamauga. When
little more than an infant he escaped
from home to the union army and sue
ceeded after many difficulties in get
ting himself upon the rolls as a drum
mer boy. At Chickamauga, his drum
thrown aside, he had taken a musket
and cartridge box from dead soldier
and was proudly marching across the
field in the vicinity of Snodgrass hill
when a mounted confederate colonel
spurred up to him and shoulded
Surrender, you d-d little Yam
kee.''
The little Yank shot the confederate
colonel dead. For this he was made
lance sergeant and was assigned 20
duty at Gen. Thomas's headquarters.
After the war he tried to get into West
Point. but was declared to be under
size. General Grant was informed Of
this. He knew the little fellow well,
and remarked
He was big enough to carry gun
and fight and I guess he's big enough
to carry commission"
So the general got him commits
sion and had him assigned to the school
of military instruction at Fortress
Monroe. LOSING, the historian, says
of Colonel Glen that he was undoubt-
edly the youngest soldier who ever
bore arms in battle.

Has Ever Been Made for
the Navarro Bridge.
NO ENTRY EVER MADE
On the Com mmissioners' Journal
mo Money in Fund-.What
an Attorney Has
to Say. IN

There has been some comment on
the fact that the county commissioners
have men at work building a large
stone arch culvert or bridge between
Massillon and Navarro, which was
made necessary for the accommodation
of the Canton-Massillon railway, which
is building an extension to the latter
town. 1t is cOntended that the bridge
would not have been necessary had
not the street railway been built. The
franchise recently granted the COM
pany, after it had nearly the entire
the grading and build all bridges, but in
this instance the railway people bear
30 per cent of the cost and the county
70 per cent. ~
What is surprising about the whole
proceeding Is that workmen have been
at work for some time on the bridge.
and there has, so far as the records
at the commissioners office are con-
cerned,
NEVER BEEN ANY CONTRACT.
let for the structure. More than that,
there Is not dollar in the bridge fund
| that is available for the expense and
a contract could not be legally entered
into.
An attorney who is prominent at the
Stark county bar and who has had Judi
cial experience, said Friday morning:
81 wish the News-Democrat would
keep up this agitation against the no.
torious acts of the county commits
s,oners. 1t is only through it's col.
umns that the public ever gets any
information. Someone should enjoin
them from spending the pubic money
for the benefit of private individuals
or corporations. BY the time the rail.
way to Akron is finished, the county
will have about thirty or forty thous.
and dollars In the concern, In addition
to giving them the right to go over the
highway. There seems to be no limit
to the things that are being done. ;.
81 wish you would repnblish the con.
ditions of those franchises. They
mean
JUST WHAT THEY SAY,
that the railway companies shall build
all bridges and do all the grazing. II
they were to attempt to grade a narrow
strip of road just wide enough to run
their cars through, without making any
provision for the travelling public
4 there would be no question In ones
mind as to their violating their fran
chise. A bridge is part Of the public
highway. II the railway company
should attempt to go over the stream
on piles or on narrow bridge and
make no provisions for the passage
of wagons or pedestrians, there would
be just as fragrant violation of the
cond tions OF their franchise.
How they expect to pay for the
Navarro culyert is a mystery to me
II II Is true as stated that they never
made contract, unless II was a verba
one and outside OF their Office, and
there is no money In fund, the contract
Is as illegal as II possibly could he
II there Is no record there is no con
tract. It Is an outrage that the public
has to submit to these things without
any recourse"

1t was decided to change the 2:2O
pacing class to 2:17 class, so as to
get faster lot of horses present, in
the hopes that there will be some hot
racing. The purse was raised from
$3.50 to 5000 as an extra inducement.
A change was made in the price of
admission to the grounds and grand.

expected to be appreciated by the pub,

cents at the gate and 25 cents to get
into the grandstand. 1t was decided to
reduce the price to each Is cents, so
as to induce larger number to attend
the night exhibitions. This was done
at the suggestion OF Secretary Leh.

attractions free, 1t was pretty hard to
get people to go to the fair at night
when they could not see any races OF

BASIS OF FUTURE WARS.
Senator Chnuncey III. Depevv Declares His Belief That They Will
 Be Commercia1.

Senator Chauncey M. Depew, who is in Paris, is quoted in New York Journal and Advertiser dispatch as saying: stThe basis of future wars is commercial. Commercial competition excites the passions as competitive prowess in other departments. Ger many is HOW our most hostile com petitor. The conclusion is obvious: The issue is to be fought on the sea; hence the newspapers that are advo- eating mighty navy are doing most patriotic work.
 Continental Europe entertains hos tility against the United States. Eng land does not, but we do not recipro- cate her sympathetic feeling. Not withstanding commercial competition, all classes there believe that if the country were in jeopardy we would come to it's assistance.
 France will not become very hos tile, for most of her products are com sumed by her own people. Austria seeks market for her surplus and is influenced by Germany. Italy will stand with her allies. The difficulty with Russia will be settled by our ad- ministration.
 'sThe hostility against us in the va rious countries of continental Eu- rope differs only in degree. Never theless an industrial alliance against us is impossible. The countries could not agree as to percentage. We are their best customer and could retail ate."

 The duke had said that after the Boer war it would be an excellent thing if Boer and Briton were to in- termarry.
 ..We want the Briton to marry a Boer girl" said the. duke, "but we want him to have an English wife as well''
 A peal of laughter which greeted this ambiguous declaration led the duke to correct himself, which, blush ing, he did,, enneavoring to explain in great haste what he meant. The ex- planation intensified the merriment. It is the joke of the season, and won't be forgotten for a long time -

Promoters of Institution There Given Land Formerly Granted to Peo-

The promoters of the scheme to found Hull House in Paris have been granted the use of the land formerly given to the projected Peo- ple's university. It is believed the movement modelled on the Chicago so- cial settlement plan will replace the university scheme, which has not been success.
 Ernst Lavisse, of the Sorbonne and Georges Picot, of the institute, are among the trustees. The preliminary work is in charge of Rev. Jacques Bardoux and Henry Lamarc, of Chi cago. The latter is familiar with the work of Hull House, and has been of great assistance. He predicts that the enterprise will pay five per cent. on the investment.

SMALLER COLLEGES IN WEST.
for Support from Individuals in Their Own States.

g # s |
 Howard Freeman Doane, professor of Greek language and literature at Doane college, Crete, Neb., is on a visit to New York city, and gave out an interview on education in the west.
 Prof. Doane said: What I am par ticularly interested in is the denom- national institution as distinguished from the state institution in the west. The state institutions have no difficulty in holding their own at the present time, but the smaller insti- tutions are denomina tional. They were started by denominational infiu- ences, the same as the great institu- tions in the east, and they are the ones who find difficulty in getting ahead on account of lack of endow- ment. 'sA
 At present, in the middle west, we have not found enough men who are interested in education to provide en- dowments and buildings for the smaller colleges A good deal of money for these institutions still has to come from the east, and eastern givers are becoming tired of furnish ing the necessary amount for the suitable growth of these colleges. Started largely by eastern money, these institutions feel that now the states in which they are situated ought to supply funds for the future.
 Some way must be found by which Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and the states west of them, in gen. eral, shall interest wealthy men with in their borders to provide funds for the natural growth of these institu- sions.''
