Will Perform Feat of Mind-Reading.
Prof. Montalvio, hypnotist and mind
reader, will do his celebrated Wild Blind
Drive III this town Saturday noon. lie
created sensation in Burlington last
week with this drive. He had advertised
that he could find an article hidden any
where within the city limits. A commit
tee of five citizens was selected to ride in
a cab driven by the professor. The arti-
Gle selected was small pocket knife and
the place of concealment was house in
the residential section. The start was
made from City Hall. Prof. Montalvio
was well blindfolded and helped onto the
box, and the committee had barely taken
their seats when the cab was hurled at
breakneck speed past street cars, across
tracks and past other rigs to Cherry
street, where the professor swung the
rig around the corner in a manner that
made the committee hold on for dear life.
He did not draw rein until the right
house was reached. Here the committee
tried to fool him by saying he had made
a mistake. Ignoring their protests, he
went into the house and found the article
hidden among the strings of an old
piano. He has promised to repeat this
drive in Middlebury at noon Saturday.
The start will be made from the opera
house. In the evening the professor will
do several hypnotic and mind-reading
tests at the opera house. His entertain
ment combines science and fun. You'll
think there is tricllery about it, but the
professor gives his word that there isn't.

The Erie railroad AM its connecting
swift service of modern and palatinf
trains have made 1t possible to place
the climate of Florida to the doors VI

small expense. A charming trip from
banks of snow, raging blizzards and
zero atmosphere to a summer land,
with open fields and luxuriant vegeta-
ton, abounding with tropical fruits.

possible to imagine that within our

fort.

INDISCRIMINATE
Criticism of CounciImen Does More Harm Than
Good-.Mr. Fiebeger's Plan, For the Most
Part, Warmly Endorsed.

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
The article by Mr.. Fiebeger In Tues.
days Gan. 22) Democrat is good
one, and should be carefully consider,
ed In the framing of bill for passage
by the State Legislature, Of new and
better plan of government for our city.
| have few remarks In the form Of
objections and modest criticism to
offer to some Of his propositions, and
would, by the courtesy of the Demo.
crat, respectfully beg leave to state
them through Its columns. AS a
rule. I believe our City, Councllmen
to be as honest in the discharge of
their public duties as can be found
anywhere. 1t is the generally conceded
privilege, whether rightly or wrongly,
of the disgruntled private citizen to
damn the Council and all city officials
(when not In their presence) just as
often as he pleases, and SO, that he
is not personally libelous, II does him
a mighty deal of good, and hurts no
one particularly. There is no good rea'
son to offer why our city council mem
bers should not be paid fair remum-
Grafton for the important service, they
are called upon to render the COM
munity. can not see the logic or
fairness Of electing man In ward
to serve In the council and saying to
him in substance: Now you go into the
Council and attend to ours your own
and the city's business. and for your
pay, take the honor attached thereto.
There Is much to be said In favor
of the pay proposition and no valid
argument can be urged successfully
against 1t.
But | am unutterably opposed to
Mr. Fiebeger's proposition to compen-
safe Councilmen by exempting them
from Jury duty on the ground that at
would certainly be an lnducement to
a business man to be free from the
vexations Of attending a long session
Of Court las a jurymanl while his pri-

Last month afty.four men were en-.
listed in Cleveland. This vas boom

The army reorganization bill has
provided an opportunity for great
many men In the ranks to get com.
missions. The bill provides that all
recruits who have served a year can
take the examination for a second
lleutenants commission. Formerly
two years service was required.
1t is likely that a recruiting station
will be established at Akron.

LYNCH LAW
The Subject Of Protest.
CoIored Mems Conference Criti-
cizes the Administration.
Jan. 1872 t

Columbus, o., Feb. 7.-(Spl)-The
conference Of colored men from all
parts of Ohio. which has been debat-
ing the woes of the negro FOR two
days, Issued an address last night
to the public.
This document is pesslmistic in tone
and while not openly partisan I'm
pliedly charges the Republicans with
consenting to the disfranchisement Of
the negro in the South and the other
Ills which he has to suffer there.
1t also denounces the greed of the
money making power of the North,
which for the sake of financial invest
ment in the South Is willing to ignore
the question Of the liberty of the col
ored race. The address protests
strongly against the great crime Of
wholesale lynching. The members of
the conference called on Governor
Nash last night.

vate affairs suffer-" This is Just one
Of the duties the Sovereign Citizen as
sumes. The public interest Is superior
to the private individuals interest. His
duty as a juryman Is of much more i'm
portance to the public than his private
interests are
The really good and capable citizen,
be he rich or poor, is especially need
ed in the jury room and CouncilmanIc
chamber. The shirkers from among
the really good men, in refusing to
take public office In city affairs, pay
or no pay, in my humble opinion, does
not betray very laudable interest
therein, and In which they are equally
interested with the poorer-or not so
good-citizen. who 1t would seem must
take office or see the city go begging
for officers to run the machine.
1t is true, under existing conditions,
and seems hard for any one to give
his time, attention and business ability
to the service that concerns the whole
community. gratis--but until existing
conditions are changed, some men must
necessarily make tine sacrifice. and
why should not tho business and real,
ly good men" do so as we'll as the In.
ferior or poorer men. the latter of
whom, lnferentially. according to Mr..
Fiebeger's statement, now constitute
largely. the office.holding (non. .salar.
ied) class.
Taxation to be fair should, as a
rule, be uniform in its application and
free from exemptions. II Councilmen
should be paid for service let the
amount thereof be fixed, and paid to
them in hard cash. and not in exemp
tlon from jury duty or of local taxa

With the balance OF Mr.. Fiebeger 1

government for our city. heartily
agree, and l do hope the same vii
meet, as II merits, public approval.

RECRUITS
For the New Navy
Service
will be Enlisted In
Summit County.
Uncle Sam Will Send
Out His Agents
To Drum Up Material For the
Service Abroad.

As result Of the passage Of the ar
my reorganization bill, Capt. e. p.
Brewer, who is In charge Of the Cleve-
land station and Youngstown and Can
ton, sub-stations OF the recruiting ser.
vice Of the United States army, has re.
ceived orders from Washington to can
vass thoroughly the counties of North
ern Ohio In search Of recruits. Men
will be sent Immediately into every
town of any size and will spend from
one to three days in enlisting men for
all branches of the service and In some
of the bigger towns and cities tenn
porary recruiting offices will be opened.
In few days Capt. Brewer will give
out a list of places where stations are
to be established under his supervis.
ion, but these places will not be an
nounced until after the captain has
hhouC dAidhSChichlS lOi DOdAuluS Ic-
cruits in these towns preparatory to
sending them away. The reason for
this is that In one or two instances
where the hotelkeepers have learned
that the soldiers were to be boarded
they put up rates from 81 day, the
rate they ordinarily charged, to 50 and
$3.50. AS Capt. Brewer is not allowed
to spend more than 81 a day for sol.
dier's board he has not been able to
do business with the landlords in ques.
tion. Soldiers enlisted in Cleveland
are fed for rs cents day.
