That girl that, tried to commit sui
eide at Waterworks park is said to
have wanted to die to music. From the
dreamy drug she chose, she must have
imagined that the concert was to be
more on the oriental order. Laudanum
doesn't go with the program rendertd
on this occasion. Nothing short of car
bolic acid would fit into rag time.
It is noted with satisfaction that Mr..
Howard Howald, whose visits to Can.
ton while connected with the Massil-
Ion Independent STAFF, gave him al
opportunity to make many warm
friends, has been appointed city civil
engineer of the west end city. Mr..
Howald is said to be not only ca
pablo engineer, but gained consider
able Of a reputation in the newspaper
fraternity and also Is capable Of doing
some lively things on the fiddle. His
versatility will doubtless stand him in
good stead, when he comes to establish
a grade on one of Massillon's hilly
streets, with view of pleasing every
body who owns abutting property.
Youngstown Is feeling blue because
the prospects for an electric railway
connecting that city with New Castle,
has been reduced to minimum. The
Mahoning capital must be feeling bel
ligerent. II is almost certain that
closer communion between the towns
would only be conducive to more riot
Gus conditions. Crowds from the two
places cannot meet without there is
something doing.
Judge Trip, in the Carroll Free
Press, continues to send forth walls
in his usual spectacular style. The
latest howl against the Republican
brethren Of the adjoining counties is
as follows:
A missing link" is the situation of
Carroll county politically. 1t sits on
the top of the range of hills that scpa-
rate the waters of Yellow Creek, the
| Connottons and Sandy Creek. 1t ad-
joins Columbiana county on the north
for judgeship use; Stark on the north
west for couple of judges and a
state senator; Harrison county on the
south for representative; and in not
one of these does 1t get taste! 1t
is "nliss" AL round. Yet, tits one
grade above the negro counties OF the
south; it gets chance to cast its vote
and have il counted; but for one of the
other fellows. A great privilege. A
/ blessed country!
Citizens who have communed with
nature during the summer season, have
observed an unusual number of birds
of fine plumage. For some years the
whistling red bird has not been seen in
this latitude in great number, nor has
even the little wild canary been reg
ular visitor. This year birds Of every
variety are in this climate and appear
to enjoy it. In front of residence in
West Second street is a mulberry three,
which is the Mecca for birds. The tree
| is alive with the feathered tribe from
morning till night, and opportunity for
studying the species is afforded. The
robin inveigles its young to this tree
and stays there and feeds them. All
the other birds follow suit. Only the
sparrow holds aloof from the juicy null
berry, still being of populistic trend,
and keeping in the middle of the road.

The men who bolted the party ticket
in 1896 and 1900, or voted for Bryan
under protest, are now in the front Of
the procession and for the first time
since 1895 they will be in position to
dictate terms to their more mercurial
| brethren. Here, for instance, Is An
thony Howells, of Massillon, an office
holder under Cleveland and now a can
didate for lieutenant governor. Until
| this year Mr.. Howells would scarcely
have been permitted seat in the gal
lery during an Ohio Democratic conven-
ton. 1t is true that in ancient times
he was treasurer Of Ohio and in all
things is back number, but the fact
that he is a Grover Cleveland Demo-
crat is held to be to his credit this year.

Mr.. Dustman, the clever political edi-
tor Of the Blade, ought to revise his re-
port so far as the back number" fea-
ture is concerned, and also with refer
ence to the gallery" Mr.. Howells has
been very much in the orchestra circle
for several years. He voted for and
worked for Mr.. Bryan. He has been
altogether regular in his affiliations
with the party, and is considered to be
one of the strongest Democrats in the
Eighteenth district. But, in passing, i,
