swindIers' Tracks Well Covered.

Akron, O., Oct. 12.-Nothing more
has been heard from the men that
swindled Huston Kepler out of $1,000
at Barberton yesterday. Mr.. Kepler
has offered a reward Of $500 for their
capture, and the county commissioners
may add to the amount. The belief Is
general that they will never be appre-
hended. 1t was over two hours from
the time the fellows got the money
before the police here were notified.
They are believed to be the same men
that tried the same trick ON Solomon
Kepler, brother Of the victim, several
months ago. It develops that they
were well acquainted about this sec.
ton Of the county. and have talked
with Laany people.

Arches Taken Down.

The two mourning arches,
on North Market street at the corner
of Louis avenue and North street,
were torn down Thursday. This was
done by the citizens executive COM
mittee at the order Of the city council.
The council declared that the arches
were dangerous as they frightened
horses. II was also believed that the
arch in front of the Mckinley home
had depressing effect upon Mrs. Nc
Kinley as she could see 1t when she
wGs entering and getting out Of her
carriage.

THE DOCTORS BILLS.
They Are Expected to Reach
$5o,0oo--Proposed Grant
to Mrs. Mckinley.

A Washington special says that when
congress meets In December one of the
first acts will be the Introduction of a
bill by Senator Foraker to pay Mrs
Mckinley years salary, or $50. 900, on
her late husbands account.
At first 1t was agitated to pay her
the salary of the unexpired term of
President Mckinley, but 1t was decid-
ed to follow precedent, especially as
Mrs. Mckinley has no children. 1t
will be recalled that In the case of Mrs.
Garfield popular subscription was
also opened and the sum of $3.50, 900
was realized and turned over to the
widow. It Is also suggested that Q
pension of $1,000 per year should be
voted to Mrs. Mckinley. This will also
be In line with previous legislation
in such cases.
The question Of compensation for the
surgeons end physicians who treated
President Mckinley during his fatal
illness Is also being canvassed. In this
case the legislative experts are looking
up the precedents. President Garfield
fingered eighty days and a board Of
audit finally agreed to compensate the
surgeons and physicians. 1t Is esti-
mated here that an appropriation OF
more than $4,000 will be asked from,
congress. DR.. McBurney's bill is ex-
pected to be at least $4,000 and the
other physicians will file claims In pro-
portion.

Massillon, Oct. 12.

NuucoihOh, OSt. IL.
The strike situation remains .prac-
tically unchanged. The manufacturers
made no gain in shops today. although
number Of boys returned to the Mas
sillon company works. About 35 OF
the 80 boys who went out at this plant
are now again at work. The company
has sworn out warrant for the ar,
rest of young Forsythe. who commit.
ted an assault on Sweitzer on their
grounds Thursday night and the police
are after him.
Mr.. l.. s. Stoorr, of the Reed COM
pany, said Saturday that the strike
was crushed and that he thought the
majority of the boys will return 70
work Monday. They will be taken
back, If willing to work, almost with
out exception. The strikers are hold
ing no meetings and seem without or
ganization. N. p. Maier. the labor or
ganizer, who marshaled the forces OF
the boys earlier in the week and gave
them advice as to how to make the
gains desired, has apparently washed
his hands of the affair. Mr.. Maier said
yesterday that he knew nothing of the
strikers plans. 1t will be remembered
that at the meeting held in the mayors
court room Thursday, Mr.. Maier ad-
vised the boys to go back to their
shops, since their strike was ill-organ-
lied and their resources too slender
to admit. of a successful lockout. 1t Is
probable that the boys will profit by
this counsel, as the labor unions can
do nothing for them. r~'

AN INTERESTING CASE DECIDED.
Much Water Poured into Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad Stock.

The decision by the Supreme Court this
past week in Wooten VS.. Railroad is an
interesting one.
1t came out in the investigation in the
suit by the railroads before Simonton 10
prevent being taxed that the capital of
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad had
been watered twelve times over that is to
say increased twelve fold, by issue of
additional stock and bonds as gratuities
to its stockholders. Now, in this case a
gentleman who died in Wilmington dur
ing the war by his will left 20 shares
of stock 10 his wife for life, remainder to
his children The stock was transferred
on the books to trustee for that pur-
pose under the terms of the will. The
widow in 1869 sold the 20 shares, but
though the company had (as the court
holds) notice of the terms of the will it
issued to the purchaser a new certificate
in fee, instead of for life of the seller.
The life tenant died two years ago and
this action was brought at once by the
children for the present value of the
original stock with the twelve fold addi-
tions to the capital stock as above stated
the life tenant and her vendee being
entitled of course to receive the annual
dividends thereon which they have had.
When the widoY sold the 20 shares Of
stock in 1869 and The company wrongfullY
issued an absolute certificate, the 26
shares were worth not over 40 cents en-
the dollar or say $500. But now by reason
of the above twelve fold additions to the
capital the company is liable for some
$25 COO, an account being ordered to find
out exactly how much. So in one in
stance the enormous rrofitableness of the
road has not been to it's advantage.

VALUE OF RAILROAD PROPERTY
The Railroads Tolls the Census Enumerators
That it is $4,000

2-VALUE OF r. R. PROPERTY 20 &C
1t has heretofore been overlooked that
by the Census of 1890 the railroads re-
turned the value of their property in this
State at $152,OOO,O 0O while at the same
time they were paying taxes on only $12,-
600, 600 being less than enc twelfth OF
their own valuation. Since 1890 the rail
road property has increased vastly in
value Though their return in the census
of 1900 is not yet public it is doubtful if
they could be bought today for $3.50 coo,
600. Yet when their valuation for taxa
ton was increased from $39,000,0 900 I'd
$40, OOO,0 600 they treated the public to two
years expensive litigation and then ac-
guessed rather than have their true val
ue shown by the investigation and upon
an agreement that the valuation should
not be raised for two years longer.
