| Senator Sieber and calling for his
defeat were almost unanimously
adopted.
The announcements were made that
within a short time a candidate In
opposition to Sieber will be announced
and every effort will be made to elecr
him. 1t is hoped that the joint sena.
torial district will be allowed two
senators in the next legislature and If
this is done, it is said the places will
be claimed by Ashtabula and Portage
counties. 3
Rev. Baker said that If Senator Sic.
ber Is nominated an Independent Re-
publican candidate, and such man
as can be elected, will be placed in the
field against him. He hoped that the
Republican leaders, seeing what q
fight was being made on Senator Sic.
Der, would join in the movement to
side track him rather than have a
fight,
Representative Seese was strongly
endorsed. Rev. Baker said combina.
tion to defeat him had been formed,
but that he and another good man
must be nominated.

Thirty years from now this will

ber, waving his hand to all the four
corners of the compass. He was re-
ferring TO what is now known AS Ak
ron. 1T is only matter of 20 years
until Barberton will have larger
population than Akron. The two cities
are rapidly approaching one another.
Barberton's growth is much more
rapid than that Of Akron. She is over
taking her every day. We has plans
on foot that win give Barberton the
greatest boom that has ever been
experienced in this section. Then she
will pass Akron. There is no doubt

William ,Bonelli comes with Il new
romantic production, AN American
Gentleman to the Grand Opera house,
next Saturday. Not only is this per-
formance new to the stage, but cos
tunes, scenery, startling climaXes,
thrilling situations and the text of
the story are new. Built around col
lege athlete, the play gives Mr.. Bonelli
grand opportunities to show physical
developments; not only in thrilling
wrestling match, but also in an ex-
plosion scene where they bind him up
in a wall with chains and by his
marvellous strength he breaks them
in time to save "Carnia. the Golden
Gypsy's" life. The play is in four
acts, and not only is it a consistently
told story, but the heart interest and
thrilling climaXes are intense. Miss
Rose Stahl is the leading woman of
"An American Gentleman" and she
will give a good account OF herself as
"Carina, the Golden Gypsy Miss
Edith Kingsley, n well known ingenue
ulays Polly" the maid, and introduces
very clever singing speciality. The
sweet tenor voice of John CaI,mody
as Dennis" is heard to good advan-
tage; while the balance of the strong
cast is In capable hands. With the
carloads of beautiful scenery and ef-
fects, IAN American Gentleman" is
one of the best attractions booked at
this popular theater this season.
The attraction booked for the Grand
Opera house tomorrow evening is one
of the finest musical comedies before
the people. Marie Dressler and com.
pany in "Miss Print" only make two
stops in Ohio on their way from New
York city to st. Louis. The stage efr
fects and costumes are gorgeous and
assure the patrons that it is raro
opportunity Of witnessing an elaborate
production seldom offered our city.
The original New York east, will pre-
sent the piece.
