Governor Issued Proclamation
and Sent Turkey.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 14.-Governor
Leslie Nj. Shaw has issued special
Thanksgiving proclamation in order
to accommodate little girl in the
northwestern part of the State who
was i'll Nov. %, and was unable to par
take of the usual turkey repast. He
also sent her a fine turkey for her
special Thanksgiving dinner with his
compliments.
A few days ago the Governor receiv-
ed this letter which resulted in the
special proclamation:
Dear Governor: Please can we
have another Thanksgiving Day, and
have 1t next Thursday? 1 was sick
and could not eat any turkey or any
other good things. amt very big,
but l like turkey. Please let lis have
it. Your friend, MARY"
The Governor refused to give out
the girls name or her place of resi-
dence. The proclamation issued was
not spread upon the public records, but
was sent directly to Mary.

branches of family trouble touch the
spot without delay, and the trials in
which young women figure seem to
be occasions for regular fete days.
However, 1t has been the custom to
drive from the court room all who
are not interested in sensational cases.
Another feature which has brought
the regular visitors into disrepute, is
their disposition to refrain from work

Johann Beck and Diagram Of the Box In Which He Shipped
Himself to New York.

by the steamer Palatia, Captain Gross
ing.
calculate upon your magnanimity
which will spare me an unpleasant
return. although have not the honor
of being acquainted with you. I am
not afraid of any work, and should
like to work of the expenses.
Coming with the Palatia, as already
mentioned, I leave Hamburg on Sun
day, Nov. II, in the hope Of arriving
in New York, in good health. I have
need to excuse myself for this trouble
I have caused you, as we'll as for my
bad English. My. best thanks in ad-
vance. Very respectfully,
JOHN BECK.
The box in which Beck enclosed HIM
self contained also his extra clothing
and a cheap satchel. In the latter was
found package of letters addressed
to Johann Beck at No. % Langstrasse,
Hamburg and at No. 8 Alstader.
Some of the letters We're signed Jo-
hanna, and were evidently from a
sweetheart. Others were from Otto
Schubert.
The woman's letters were written
from hospital in Hamburg, where the
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-12-14

writer had undergone an operation.
They expressed hope that Beck
would secure employment, and a ref
erence was made to a contemplated
trip to this country.
The other letters and documents
showed that Beck is a mechanical
draughtsman and painter. The box
in which he began his journey is evil
dently one of his own construction.
1t is made of light material, with
spaces between the boards sufficient
to admit air.
The top was fastened down with
hooks on the inside, and could be open
ed or closed by Beck at will.
There was also small hinged door
or shutter in the side of the box, near
the top which also fastened inside.
Beck provisioned the box with seven
bottles of liquid coffee and chocolate
and some bread and sausages. Then
he made arrangements for its shipment,
got inside and was taken on board
the steamer.
A cablegram from Hamburg, yester.
day, says that Beck is painter, who
is known as the box traveller, and
who has made similar trips before.

REVIVAL PLANNED.
A Universal Movement Among
Akron Churches.

An effort to awaken the spiritual life
OF the churches in Akron is about

for Monday afternoon, at 1:3O p. H.,
In the First M. e. church, with view
to starting religious revival in Ak
ron, In the line of work mapped out
for a religious awakening all over the
United States. The idea of general
movement among the churches has
been agitated for nearly two years,
and has been meeting with consider
able approval wherever explained. 1t
is planned for all the churches In this
country to begin revival services at
the same time, and continue them for
a certain period. The Alliance Mon
day will discuss plans for beginning

Large Crowds of Idlers

Lately, Police Court has been
great attraction to certain class of
people. The spectators section of the
court room is crowded full, and there
is scarcely elbow room In the lobby.
The visitors are all well known, for
they are principally idlers who are on
hand every day. They read the Police
news every day, to find the dates of
trials they believe will be gratifying
to their morbid curiosity. 1t is not
enough that they should be driven
from the court room, every now and
then, by Prisonkeeper Washer, who
is so disgusted with the regular visi-
tors who come to satisfy curl
oslty alone, that he has lost all pa
tience with them, or tolerance. The
old, wornout and hopeless vagrant,

New York, Dec. 13-Newton Ben
nington, broker and turfman, i'm
pressed by the daring Of John Beck,
who shipped himself here in the hold
of the steamer Palatia, for the sake
of his sweetheart, has volunteered to
furnish the necessary bonds guaran-
teeing that he will not become charge
upon the pubic, and has agreed to see
that he is not deported for lack of
necessary funds.
Mr.. Bennington had conference
with immigration Commissioner Nc
Sweeney and notified the Commission
er that when Beck's case comes up
for settlement he will be ready to
take the man in charge.
The box in which Beck shipped him
self as freight was consigned, to
Messrs. Neumuller L. Schaefer, pro-
prietors of the Hotel Hungaria, in
Union Square.
Before it arrived, however, the
American Express Company, whose
Hamburg agents had handled the box;
received a cable, informing them that
instead of a model as shown by the
manifest, the box contained a living
man.
The officials of the company, aston
ished by the intelligence began an i'm
mediate investigation, and communi-
Gated with Messrs. Neumuller &
Schaefer. The latter knew nothing OF
the box, had never heard of Beck, and
were greatly perplexed and mystified.
Immediately after, however, they
received this letter from Beck, which
explained how their names were con-
nected with the affair. The letter read
as follows, with Beck's name and ad-
dress at the top:
Hamburg, Nov. Is, 1901.
Sir: Without work and without
means, / am at the end of my re-
sources, and to procure them both and
to come at the same time to the land
of hope, am to send myself as goods

Why Auto Tires are
Sent Back.
Ignorance Causes a Heap
of Trouble.
The Growth of Branch Rubber
Stores.

Makers of automobile tires and the
manufacturers themselves, it is to be
feared, swear sometimes, when tires
are returned for repairs which would
not have been sent back at all had
good common sense and thought been
made use Of by the owners or opera
tors of the automobiles. The tires Of
the front wheels of an auto are light
er than the rear tires, because the
drive comes on the latter and of ne
cessity they must be heavy. But some
automobile owners get the front
wheels on behind and vice versa, and
then just what might be expected,
happens. The lighter tires do not
stand the strain. The truth of this
assertion is proved by the wheels that
are sent back with tie tires still on
them. Very likely the automobile man
growls and complains to the manufac-
turers about the tires, into the bar
gain. No wonder it makes the rubber
makers mad.

New Boat Needed.

The Diamond Rubber Co. may have
to buy a new boat for the transpor-
tation of goods from its main plant to
the factory at Halo, via the canal, or
give up that method of transit. The
reason is that the launch the company
made use of, was never built to carry
heavy loads of freight and the motive
power gave out and the sides of the
boat were bulged. A boat better suit
ed to the purpose may be secured for
another navigation season.

seem to be pleased to adopt feminine
fashion, in the yokes, which, they
consider, give their long overcoats the
hang they think so stylish"
