Young Woman to a Dark,
Vacant Room.
A Foul Crime Committed by -Four
Young Men.
A l6-Year Old Country Girl the Victim Of a
Brutal Assault.

Mrs. Bessie Keck, 16 years old, was
entced to a dark, vacant room on the
second floor of the building occupied
by the Cuyahoga Publishing Co. at
Howard and Tallmadge sts, ut o.
clock Thursday morning and subjected
to most brutal treatment by four
young men. She was found by the
police about two hours later wander
ing about the streets. She told them
her story and having no home she
was taken to the city prison.
Mrs. Kcck is good looking young
woman and stoutly built. Her home
is at Mantua station, Portage county,
She was married year ago but sep
arated from her husband who is now
a porter at the Aetna house in Raven
ia. For some time she lived with
her parents, well known people of
Mantua hamlet, her father being in
receipt of a pension which supports the
family. Then she came to Akron to
look for work.
She knew nothing of city life nor
where to search for employment. The
result was that she took the first place
which offered and went to work in
q Chinese laundry on North Howard
ct. She was there a week and then
secured a position in the laundry of
the Empire house. She remained there
until Tuesday evening when she went
to South Akron to visit friends.
The story the young woman tells
is that she left South Akron late
Wednesday evening to so to Cuya>
hoga Falls where she has friends and

She VIII BE Here,

Hattie Wells, the young woman who
does all sorts of terpsichorean maneu-
'vers while perched upon her toes in the
last act of "rhe Belle of New York"
had her affection for children severely
Jared yesterday afternoon. Miss Wells
was strolling through one of the prin
cipal streets when she came upon a
group of street gamins who were gath
cred together as if discussing some issue
of vital Importance. The young woman
paused to listen and was Mortified to
hear one of the smallest of the crowd
a boy of scarce ten years-turn loose
flood of profanity that would have
done credit to the captain of an Erie
canal boat Just moment previous
Miss Wells had decided to ask the boys
which Sunday school they attended,
but at the outburst of Billingsgate she
changed her mind. Calling the youth
full offender to her, she proceeded to
deliver a nice, sisterly lecture to him
lon the breaking of the third command
ment, at the conclusion of which the
boy looked up at her and then turned
to the others and remarked:
: "Hully gee, amt she purty?"
\ Miss Wells lblushed and pretended not
to notice the compliment, but realizing
she had made an impression on the
young heather, she said as a sort Of
clincher:
my little man, do you know what
becomes Of little boys who swear =
Sure ting" remarked the street
arab; when dey gifts to be men dey

Promises to he Interesting.

The meeting of the Pultney township
board of edacution promises to be an
interesting affair tomorrow afternoon.
The rival book companies, CHM & Co.
and the American Book Co, will be
arrayed against each other In battle
for blood. As our readers know, the
former company were the victors early
in the year, but the other company, by
series of quiet flank movements have
so managed affairs that an attempt at
reconsideration will be made. A num-
Der of the teachers have been active
in their efforts to have certain books
put in and others put out of the schools.
There is one thing the board should
keep in mind, and that is that the in
terests of the children are paramount
and should take precedence to every
other interest. 1t is very easy mat
ter to say aye or no to a proposition,
without consideration of the effect up
on the schools. 1t is hoped that what
ever action Is taken that it will be for
the best interests of the schools, and
not for any book concern.

The little community of Rock Hill,
just west of this city, was terribly
shocked to learn yesterday morning
that one of their number had made
what will be a successful attempt at
self-destruction. The young man, Cy-
rus Wise, second son of the late Geo.
X. Wise, was the last man those who
knew him would have thought of COM
hitting suicide, and it is the unani-
mos opinion of those who knew him
that he must have been insane. The
story of the sad affair as we CLEAN it is
as follows: The young man has been
in poor health for several months and
at times seemed to have periods of mel
ancholy when he would be in an ap-
parent deep study, paying no attention
to the events or persons around him,
and his nervous system seemed to be
terribly shattered. Recently he went
to Moundsville in hopes of getting bet
ter, but came home little relieved. Fri
day the annual Sunday school picnic of
the Rock Hill Church was held in a
grove near his home, and his physi-
clan thought it might do him good to
go out and mingle with his relatives
and acquaintance. Accompanied by
his faithful mother, he went to the
grounds in the afternoon and those
who conversed with him could sea that
all was not we'll with him. He appear
ed nervous and i'll at ease, apparently
not caring to talk with those who were
his best friends. Returning home, he
went to his room and, it is supposed,
seated himself in the window Of his
room and deliberately shot himself in
the forehead. The body fell from the
window to the ground below, distance
of about 20 feet.
The body was taken into the house
when discovered and medical aid sum-
moned from Bridgeport. 1t was found
that the bullet had passed to the rear
of the brain. He was still alive at last
REPORTS, but the physician stated it was
| lust a matter of time until death would
| come.
No cause has as yet been found for
| his melancholy Two or three posi-
bile theories have been advanced, but
until positive proof of the cause is
| found these will not be published. The
| unfortunate young man was 80 years
| old and was the second son OF the late
| Geo. X. Wise. He was recognized as
one of the leading young men OF that
excellent community. He was con-
sistent member of the Presbyterian
| Church and Sunday school, in which he
has held many Offices of trust and i'm
portance. He was a deep reader and
conservative thinker on all subjects OF
| the day.
| He had recently purchased a farm
from Ross Johnson, and was to he mar
! ried about October l to prominent
young lady Of Bethesda.

Many persons using the local tele-
phone in this city read with satisfac-
kAon the letter in yesterdays Register
advocating the connection of the Ma
tional Telephone system with this city.
There is little doubt that the local COM
pany would make any objections and
such an arrangement would add
strength to both companies. There
are many business men here who have
the local phone that must go to a neigh
boris and pay for the use of his instru-
ment to talk to Wheeling. Connection
with the National would cut down the
expense of two machines in a single
business house.
