AKRON SAVED FROM
A SCOURGE OF CATS.
Merchants Too Wise to Experiment With New
Advertising Scheme.

BY the good Judgment of her mer-
chants, Akrons citizens have been
saved from a most distressing scourge
of tramp cats. Sleeplcss nights,
punctuated by the screams, squalls
and bedlam melodies of several hum
dred half-starved, glaring-eyed cats,
were right at Akron's door, but were
wisely refused admittance. These
nocturnal concerts, and their accom-
paniment of blue air. were to have
been thrust upon this city as n side
issue to an advertising scheme. An
agent came here and told merchants
all about IT, He would sell any mer-
chant whatever number of cats he de-
sired, even IL 5000 of the fclncs had
to be imported. He knew where they
could he purchased cheap, by the
carload, II necessary. Around the

Built.
Money Will Soon be on Hand to

Word has been received that G. A.
French. who has been at work on the
Richland and Mahonlng railroad pro-
ject, has succeeded in floating the
bonds for the Findlay & Fort Wayne
road running from Findlay to Fort
Wayne, says the Canton News-Dem-
ocrat. This road has been bought
outright. With the plans that Mr..
French has in view. through line
from Pittsburg to Chicago will result
after connecting link has been built
from Akron to Youngstown. The
route will be from Plttsburg over the

IL. h. Stewart. of Canton. who had
been elected general passenger agent
of the Richland & Mahoning, has
never accepted that position, but is
director only of the road. He stated
that he would never again actively en-
gage in railroading, as he intends Civ
ing his entire attention to the law.
From Akron comes complaint from
the civil engineers who have com
pleted the surveys Of the Richland
& Mahonlng line. They claim that
there is $4,000 due them and they get
nothing but promises from the pro-
moters. 1t is thought that the sale
of these bonds will create fund that
will not only pay for the Findlay and
Fort Wayne, but furnish sufficient
funds TO pay the debts incurred in the
promotion of the new line.
The complete plan OF the promoters
includes other links and competitions
that take in Canton.

be held at Northheld on Labor Day.
The soldiers will leave Akron over

NOT READY.
New Schools Need Much Work
Before They Are Occupied.

1t is now a matter of grave doubt
whether or not the Miller school and
the Perkins annex will be ready for
occupancy when the time comes TO
open the schools. The furniture nee
essary for their completion is not yet
in sight. Much work is necessary on
the grounds and in the buildings be-
fore the schools are ready for the
children.
1t was suggested that the opening of
the schools be. postponed for week
or two weeks, and this will probably
be done, unless, by virtue of much
hustling, the buildings are finished
sooner than is now expected.

COOKING.
It's Finish Is In HaiIing
Distance.
The Board Declined to Hire An.
other Teacher For the Work.

The resignation of Miss Foster as
teacher in the cooking school, which
was received and accepted at Tuesday
nights meeting of the Board of Edu
cation, brought the much discussed
cooking school question before the
members for settlement. 1t would
seem that at last nights meeting the
subject could not be avoided.
There was no teacher and it was
apparently, necessary either to ap-
point one or to declare a policy with
reference to the continuance of the
institution.
Mr.. James urged the appointment of
teacher for the cooking school, the
removal of that institution from the
High school and its establishment
ion that something should be done at
once, that the school should either be
enlarged or abandoned.
In spite of his eloquence the Board
would not take decisive step i'm the
matter and it was laid over for two
'oks.
'ine finish of the cooking school, If
the temper of the Board may be deter
mined from last nights meeting, is
in plain sight and will probably be dis
continued.

place today. Governor Nash made
an address and there were special ex-

Law Suit.
In the district court a suit for $4,000
damages has been brought by Norman

plaintiff alleges that on October 80,
last, the defendant entered the plain
tin's store and assaulted plaintiff by
knocking him down and cursing and
reviling him, and threatening ito kill
plaintiff and wipe up the floor with
him" The piaintiif claims and asks
also to receive $5 fees paid TO physi-
clans to patch him up and the costs

mated over the return of a trimmed
hat, which had been secured by the
witter store from the Globe, of which
Baerman is manager.

comMoTIoN IN LINCOLN
PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Negroes up In Arms over Alleged
seandaIous Conduct Of the
Teachers.

The negroes of the city are greatly
stirred up over a war of scandal which
has been waged in Lincoln school for
several weeks. Principal Scott Is
charged with serious behavior Mrs.
Jackson, one of the teachers in the
school, alleges that Scott has hypno-
tized her.
The negroes have taken sides in the
matter. Some declare Scott is unfit
to teach and that he has absolutely
demoralized the schools. Another
faction holds that the Jackson teach
er and her husband have not been
wronged, but that systematic effort
has been made to have Scott ousted
from the principaliship.
The Guide, the colored paper, says:
Unless Scott is thrown out murder
will certainly be committed" The
complaints to the school board have
become so heavy that the board this
morning decided to visit Lincoln
school and sift all the stories.
The board is investigating this az
ternoon.

HOLIDAY RATES HIGHER.
Slight Increase over the Charges
Made Last Christmas.

It will cost one-third more to travel
this Christmas than It did last. Kan.
sas railways have raised the rate
from one fare TO a fare ana a third.
The one fare rate was the rate last
year. and it applied to all points west
of the Missouri river. East Of the
Missouri river, the rate was a fare and
third last year. all Of which goes to
prove that the west is adopting east
ern habits.
The official announcement Of holi-
day rates has been made by the Santa
Fe, Rock Island and other roads. The
rates will be the same on all roads.
studelts and teachers s. colleges
will have to pay the one an6 third
fare rate, the only special regulation
for this class of travel being in re.
gard to the time limit Of tickets.
The following are the regulations
which are announced for this season:
Tickets for the general public will
be on sale December "a. 26, 81 and
January 1. The return limit is Jan
uary 2. The one and a third fare ap-
plies only to points between which
the fare is SO or less one way. That
is to say, no reduced rates will be
given for distances of over 200 miles.
This is in substance the same regu-
lation as last year, except that the
fare is one and third instead of one.
Teachers and students. on presen-
tation of a certificate signed by the
head of the institution with which
they are connected, will be allowed
to purchase tickets at one and a
third fare on the date of the closing
of school, or the day after the closing,
but not earlier than December 10. nor
later than December 21. The final
limit on teachers and students tickets
is the opening date of the school with
which they are connected, but in no
case later than January s.
The holiday rates for points east OF
the Missouri river Will likely remain
the same as they were last year.
The railway officials make no state
ment as to the reason for the advance,
except that the other roads were in
favor OF it. and they had to yield to

he might eventually sign the contract,
but that it would be under protest.
Alderman Lille, who HI Neen look

the Foucart plans and spokesman for
the majority faction of the council,
said this morning that last nights
action in awarding the contract was

The talked of compromise between
the two factions did not transpire and
the contract was let on the basis Of
the Foucart plans and specifications.
The council will meet again this
evening to approve of Contractor Cot
tons bond.
Mayor Ball when seen by the Lead
er reporter this morning still insisted
that his official signature was neces-
sary to render the city hall contract
valid but he would not say whether he
would sign or not. His general man
ner indicated, however, that further
opposition to the majority in the pres
ent state Of the public mind would be
without avail beyond delaying build
ing operations, and lie was under the
impression that the majority of the
council would proceed to build the
hall with OF without his approval of

accommodate the rest. AS a matter
OF fact, the cause of the raise over
last year is simply because the roads
believe that times are good, and peo-
pie can afford to pay one and third
fares. The traffic may fall of slight
ly, but the chances are that every
body who has been intending to go
anywhere will not be deferred by the
small advance over The holiday rates
of 1900.
