Cracksm en- Enter Office
of MassiIIon Paper Co.
VERY LITTLE BOOTY
Obtained by the Men Who Were
Evidently Experts--Safe .
Wreck--Papers Over
the Street.

Craftsmen broke into the Office OF
the Massillon Paper company at an
early hour this morning and blew open
the safe, scattering its entire contents
about the premises and carrying away
a small sum of money and few unen-
dorsed checks.
The men gained an entrance to the
Office building, which is an old frame
structure, by ether picking the night
lock on the door or using a skeleton
key. When tie robbery was discov-
cred the door of the Office was standing
open and the lock uninjured.
After they had gained an entrance
to the building, the thieves took a
heavy pipe wrench, which they had ev-
identity stolen from some plumbing
shop, and with this pried the combina-
ton from the door of the safe. The
safe was an old style affair with a
small combination.
When the combination was off hole
about one-fourth of an inch In diam
eter was open into the lock on the IN
side of the door.
POWERFUL EXPLOSIVE.
Into this hole they inserted a small
charge of some explosive, evidently
nitroglycerin, as dynamite in such
small quantity would not do the dam
age which was done to safe.
When the charge was exploded the
door of safe was blown open and the
lock blown off. A pane of glass in the
window near the safe was also broken
by the concussion. The inner door oil
the safe was not locked and opening
this the men pounded the door of the
cash drawer and taking its contents
scattered them over the office hoor.
The remaining drawers in the safe
were broken open and their contents
strewn about the place.
After having rifled everything in
sight the robbers escaped without any
person knowing of their presence, In
spite of the fact that the paper mill
was in operation and the whole night
force at work.
The robbery was discovered about 4
men on his way home from work.
The police were at once notified but
could get no clue to the guilty parties.
WORK OF EXPERTS.
The job was evidently the work of
experts, as the explosive must have
been handled with care, to do no more
damage than it did to the building and
to make no noise to attract the atten-
tion of the men employed In the mill,
The loss to the firm will be little
outside of the damage to the safe, as
the checks which were taken will be
valueless in the hands of the robbers
and the money in the safe was only
small change which did not amount to
more than So.
The job was evidently done by the
same gang which has been operating
in the vicinity for some time and
which the police seem unable to detect.

LOCALIZED EVILS, N0.5O.
by John Da anner.)
(LEGALIZED EVIL, NO. 50.)
By John Danner.

Not long ago the following converse
tiop is said to have taken place in one
of our largest Ohio cities, between an
intelligent heather from foreign
country and Christian of the city re-
ferred to.
Heathen--What Is the matter with
that man who is attracting so many
boys?
Christan-Oh, he is only drunk. He
got so in that saloon on the opposite
corner.
Heathen--Do you allow Intoxicating
liquors to be openly sold in Ohio?
Christian-Yes, if the seller pays the
Dow law tax of $35O.00 year.
Heathen-Horrible, why such man
is likely to go to his home and abuse
his wife, knock down the children and
perhaps commit mrrder.
Christian-Yes, | know it is ter
rible thing, but you know men will
drink, therefore our state Legislature
thought 1t wise to tax every saloon
SO as to restrict the sale, and at the
same time put revenue in our state
treasury.
Heathen-I cannot understand how
you would dare to do such thing. II
would not be allowed In our country
Christian-You do not understand
our Christian institutions. Only those
who pay the Dow tax can sell intoxi
eating liquors; the law forbids all 9th
ers from doing so.
Heathen-But who has the right t.
give such privileges?
Christian-Our legislature assumes
the right. 1t makes the laws.
lIeathen-'What restriction is ther'
ON q man who has the money from
buying beer. whisky or other intoxi
cants?
Christian--Oh, there are no such re
.gtrictions, this IL free country.
Heathen-Then are you not mistakeI

ARcHER's EASY GAME.

Indeed it now seems that Archer is
not to. have the opposition expected.
The Hanna crowd has no candidate
against him, that has been agreed upon
Besides, it is apparent that the For.
akerites and the Kurtzites have more
votes in the senate than the Hanna
men, though this is not true in the
lower house. Archer is very confident
yet, and though he is said to anticipate
a compromise that will change the
complexion of the quarrel, he does not
expect to be one of the candidates sac
rificed.
The Cincinnati crowd has given out
that there is a change in their pro-
gram and that Cox does not control
the delegation completely, but nobody
believes it. 1t is for upstate consump-
ton, for few honest men have been
elected to the legislature and their
consciences have to be appeased before
they can be relied upon to aid in the
commission of outrages.
TO SETTLE AT WASHINGTON.
1t is thought Hanna and Foraker
will settle the fight in Washington
Last week Foraker was in such disro
pute that he could not have settled /
for the anti-Hanna facticn. Now HI
may be able to accomplish the com
promise plan, and turn down half o
his friends instead of all of them.
The quarrel can last but a littl,
while longer 1t Is believed 1t will
never see the floor of the house. bu
be settled in the preliminary skirmish

That Is What Everybody
in Columbus Was In
quiring Sunday
TALKING OF SPO|LS
Smaller Fellows Were Still
Disposed to Fight, but They
Were Discouraged
Archer's Ga me.
tFrom a starr correspondent.,

(From 4 STAFF Correspondent
Columbus. Dec. 16.-Sunday was not
entirely day of rest for the schemers
who are endeavoring to control the
legislature, for the spoils that will be
distributed A respect for the Sab.
bath has never been born in the mind
of the average politician, and he would
as soon do a piece of work on Sunday
as any other day. Still, a number of
the leaders had gone home and as con-
certed action was not possible. the
work over Sunday took upon itself an
individual character.
Compromise was in the air, as it has
been for several days.
There was disposition of the small
er fellows to fight to finish, but It
could not-be denied that the leaders
were considering the overtures that
one had made to the other. Confer
ences had been held Friday and Satur-
day, and though nothing definite had
come of them, it became apparent that
the leaders were not so far apart as
some of their henchmen professed to
believe.
PEACE MEASURES AGAIN.
To make himself solid again with
his friends, Foraker had given out that
he was again in the fight No sooner
did he get in, however, than peace
measures came from COX, at Cincin-
natl. Price, too, was in with the peace
making element and had several con-
ferences with the Hanna crowd. The
Forakerites went about seemingly sat
isfied that Foraker has not proven
himself the abject craven he had besn
accused of being, but not understand
ing how 1t came that as soon as he
got back into the fight the fight COM
menced to cool off, and compromise
measures instead of plans of battle
were introduced into the struggle
They have suspicion, some OF them,
that Foraker only came into the fight
again to get compromise, so that
Hanna could win what he had set his
heart on, the selection of Uhl as SEN
ate clerk. .....'..'.''
Price has offered several forms Of
compromise, but they all include him
for speaker, Archer has declared for
peace, but he is not in as much danger
as Price. ..4

A RARE TREAT.

Two excellent performances were
given here yesterday, matinee and
night, by the Olympia Opera COM
pany, which Manager Mike fortu-
nately secured for a special engage
ment. The company was unques-
tionably tho best which has appear
ed here in many seasons. The were
thirty-six people in the cast, half
dozen good voices, the tenor and
baritone being exceptionally fine,
and the chorus magnificent. "Said
Pashan was the bill az the night per-
Torrance and the audience, though
small, was thoroughly appreciative
aud responsive. Notwithstanding
the small attendance the company
omitted no detail, responded 20 en-
cores and put life and spirit into
every line and note. Should they
come this way again they will GER
tally be greeted by crowded houses.
In securing such attractions Mana
ager Mike displays commendable
zeal and enterprise.

REFUSED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
The Other Side Of the Belief That
Magazines Take all the Adver-
tising They Can Get.

The people who read newspapers
and magazines, have, as rule, a be-
lief that publishers have no consci.
ence about loading up their periodic
ais with advertisements at the cost of
reading matter. Yet occasionally
some proof comes to the surface that
publishers have some scruples in this
respect. The Ladies' Home journal,
for example, will accept just so many
columns of advertisements, and no
more. This proportion, for instance,
is ~ columns of advertisements as
against l22 columns of reading natl
ter in each issue of as pages. When
the advertising space is full all busi-
ness is declined. The skeptical may
ask, but is there any business left to
decline ?'' There IL, decidedly. For
nearly every Issue during IgUU tnere
were from feur to tWenty-six columns
more Of desirable advertising received
than could be accepted, and as each
column in the Journal costs $1,000, the
publishers turned away thousands of
dollars, which, simply because of
principle, they would not accept. So
the interests Of the public are some
ttmes regarded where they are not
popsslarly supposed to be.
