A bill has been introduced in the iii
nois Legislature providing the whipping
post for wife heaters and making it
felony for a man to desert his wife and
children. Both propositions are said to
have strong support. It is a serious ques-
ton whether or not the whipping post can
be made either a successful preventive
or reformatory agency in any direction;
but there is no doubt about the pror-iety
of making the desertion of helpless fam
lily by its head and respoE sible protector
and provider a high crime. 1t is about as
cruel and inhuman offence against society
as could well be conceived. We hope that
part Of the measure may become a law in
Illinois, and in every other State, in the
interests OF innocent and injured women
and children, and of obvious public policy.

Will be Erected on South Howard
Street.
Mr.. B. L. Dodge Has Had Plans Prepared For
Great Improvement For St. Ber-
nard's Catholic Church.

Architects Charles Henry & Son
have prepared plans for II five story
business block, to be erected on South
Howard ST., by Mr.. b. l.. Dodge.
The structure will replace the build
ing which he now occupies as fur
nlture store. The new building will be
one of the finest in the city. From
an architectural standpoint it will be
marked departure from any thing
in Akron.
Messrs. Charles Henry and B. L..
Dodge recently visited Chicago for
the purpose of inspecting number
Of new buildings being erected in
that city. One OF the largest is that
Of May e. Stern. The local block will
be patterned after that structure
which is located ON Wabash ave.
The front will be built of iron, plate
glass and terra Gotta. The two lower
stories are designed especially for a
display OF the goods. These will be
almost one solid piece of glass, the
only breaks being where the iron
beams are placed. The plates are
eight feet high and ii and a half feet
long. Above these will be prism glass
giving the interior a splendid light.
From the second story to the top
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-05-07

the building will be finished in terra
Gotta and glass. In appearance the
front will be the handsomest in the
city. During the construction of the
building, Mr.. Dodge will remove his
furniture to some other building. ii
is now proposed to begin work the first
of July. There will be no delay in
beginning, provided the material can
be secured. There is great demand
for terra Gotta at present and this
may delay work for short time.
NEW RESIDENCES.

new DELICACY.
Caterer kIderfer Introduces the
Ice Cream Sandwich.

Mr.. e. j. Alderfer, the restaurateuI
and caterer, of 100 s. Main ST.. has late.
ly introduced into his menus Il unique
but popular and delicious delicacy. 1t
Is known as the ice cream sandwich,
and this name properly defines it, The
ice cream sandwich is made just as
other sandwiches are made, and it is
now called for with the same familiar
ity shown in requesting one of its
humber companions of the ham, egg
or cheese product.
Instead of great, fluffy buns, OIL
thick slices of bread, as the outside
part of the sandwich, the daintiest
kind Of waters are used, and the re-
suit Is one of the prettiest, most
palatable and delightful sandwiches
with which the appetite could be graft
fled. The success and popularity at
tendant upon the introduction of this
delicacy is very gratifying TO Mr.. AL
derfer, and indications are that 1t
will become prominent feature in so
cial dinners and banquets.

HOW THEY FEEL.
The terminus of the line will prob
ably be Wadsworth, as at present
there seems to be no plan for fur
ther extension of the line. JUST where
that terminus will be is not known.
There is talk of the line being run
on Main street to the depot, but moth
ing definite IN regard TO that is settled.
But that matters little to us. We will
then be in touch with all the avenues
Of travel in Northern Ohio, and can go

Granted to Northern Ohio
Traction Company
For Wadsworth Line by Commissioners O
Medina Connty---WiIl Begin Work at Once.

A franchise was granted Monday by
the Board of Commissioners of Medina
County to the Northern Ohio Traction
Co., for line from Wadsworth to
Western Star.
The franchise is for term of %
years 1t provides that work on the
line must be commenced within 90 days
and that it be in operation within a
year. From Western Star, the line
will be extended to Johnson's Corners
where it will connect the line running
to Akron.
NEW FIELD OPENED.
The building of this line opens a
new field for Akron travellers. The
Cleveland, Medina & Southern, now in
course of construction, will pass three
miles west of Wadsworth. This line
will run through Medina, Seville and
on to Wooster. 1t is claimed that the
Northern Ohio will build line from
Wadsworth TO connect with the new
road. This would give Akron direct
connections with all the towns men,
toned.
WADSWORTH ENTHUSIASTIC.
The people of Wadsworth are en-,
thusiastic over the prospect of an cleo
tric line to their village. This fact is
evidenced by the following which ap-
peared II the last issue of the Wads-
worth Banner 1t reads:
The rlght-ofway from Johnsons S
Corners to Wadsworth for the ex-
Barberton has all been secured, and
work of constructing the same will
be taken up as soon as franchise
can be secured from the county COM
missioners of the village of Wads-
worth.
Application for franchise will be
made to the commissioners on Monday
next and TO the village council on the
Tuesday night following. Gus Seiber-
ling, who has been instrumental in Sc
curing the right-of- way says he is as
| sured by the officials of the Northern
Ohio traction company that the road
will be completed inside of four months
from the time the franchises to enter
Medina county and the village of
! Wadsworth are secured. That will
be soon enough for us. We all want
TO so to the big Summit county fair
this year, and when the new road is
completed 1t will land us without a
change at the gates of the fair
grounds. Save up your money boys,
and let us have dustin" old time
when this new Improvement heads
into Wadsworth.
THE ROUTE.

sons Corners to \ point near the
