Gen. L. V. Bierce's History
of This County. !.
The Democrat Will Reproduce the
Quaint Volumes Contents.

So much interest in Gen. T.. v.
Bierce's history of Akron and Summit
county was aroused by the search for
copy Of the little volume for the
Public library, that the Democrat has
received several requests, among them
one from Gen. A. @. Voris, to reprint
the book In its columns. This will
be done and the FIRST installment ap-
pears today.
Gen. Bierce's history was published
In 1854 by IT. and H. G. Garfield, Of
Akron. II had a limited circulation
and copies are now rare and highly
priced. The whole work comprises l57
small pages.

and see within our township, and al

western Indians-and by the Treaty
OF Greenvile In 1895 made the bound

Indians.-we find ourselves on classic
ground, surrounded by historic mem.

Obituary..
JOHN V. WESCOTT.

John '. Wescott, one of the early pio-
neers in the town of Albion, died at his
home three miles northwest of this city,
Tuesday morning, in his S0th year. On
July I'd Mr.. Wescott fell and sustained
very bad fracture of his hip which is
primarily the cause of his death, for his
long confinement during the extreme hot
summer was very trying upon him, and
later a complication of other troubles
only fastened his demise. A young man
might probably have recovered from a
similar injury, but his age and other in
firmities made his accident a serious
one. A younger brother, Oscar Wescott,
of Grand Island, Neb., was with him
during his late illness and assisted in
ministering to every comfort possible.
John Varnum Wescott was born in
Trenton, N Y, Feb. 7, 1922, and was one
of family of seven children. His fam
lily removed to Oneida and later to Allie
CLANCY county where his early life was
passed. He was united in marriage to
Miss Cloe Whitford, Oct. II, 1S43, and
year later emigrated to Wisconsin, arriv
ing at the home of Jos. Goodrieh in Mil
ton Oct. 9, 1874 He Immediately located
his present homestead in the town of
Albion which for more than sixty years
has been his home. Three sons were
born from this. marriage, Earl, who for
many years has been employed by the
Milwaukee & Great Northern railways at
st. Paul and is at present superintendent
of the car shops of the B. & 0. railway
with an Office at Newark, o.; and JAY
living on the homestead. Another son,
Herbert, died at the age of 10 years.
Mrs. Wescott's death occurred about ten
years ago. The deceased was man who
enjoyed the full confidence of his neigh
bors and though of quiet and retired
disposition, he lived an honest and up
right life, beloved and respected by all
whom he came in contact with. Funeral
services were held from his late home
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. S. I'll. Babcock, pastor of
the S. D. B. church at Albion, and inter-
ment took place in the family lot in Fas-
sett cemetery. Thus one by one the
early pioneers of this county are passing
away.

tives in this section. An aged father re-

the American Cigar Co. at Richmond,
Va, Monday, when the cigar leaf stock

Wisconsin leaf prematurely went up in
smoke. The stock was undoubtedly
well insured but the company will meet
with some difficulty in replacing the
tobacco.

Mr.. Hay, has declared that the
arrangements for the purchase oi
the Danish Antilles should have
been completed long ago.
The price fixed by the Danish
government is acceptable to the

of a speedy contamination Of th'

Sugar and Oil Trusts Favor
Cuban Reciprocity
Different Prophecies
SPECIAL eablegram TO BOletin Mercantil

SPECIAL esblegram 10 BOIetin Mercantil
New York, December 9,h. Ar
active campaign in favor of Oubar
reciprocity has been begun by
both the Standard Oil Company
and the Sugar Trust. 1t had gen.
orally been believed that these
powerful monopolies were opposed
to Cuban reciprocity but the recent
action of several representatives has
led to a change OF public opinion
on the subject.
The motives which prompt these
companies are unknown and are the
topic of much discussion by New
York and Washington papers. 1.
is believed that reciprocity will pass
even before the self government
resolutions.
The annexation movement is
however gathering strength, and
every attempt will be made to
prevent the passage OF the recipro-
city treaties in order to compel an
nexation.

Especial Oablegram to Boletin Mercantil
New York, December 9th.-Ad-
vices received from Washington
this morning state that the leading
Senators who favor the immediate
construction of the Isthmian Canal
have been discussing probable topics
of Legislation in relation TO this
subject and have mapped out a com
Plete plan of procedure.
| The canal treaty is to be taken
Iup in the Senate first. 1t is hoped
that it will be ratified before the
holiday recess. At present there ID
no important oppositionto the trea'y
, As soon as the treaty has been dis
Iposed OF the Senate will take up
TIE bill providing for the construc.
ton of the canal. That will be the
order OF business untila conclusion
has been reached:
Alter tie canal bill will come the
9 ship subsidy bill. Senator Frye
. twill introduce his measure at ths
beginning of the session. 1t viii
q be in substance the same bill which
( he had in the last congress. Th'
d Republican leaders in the Senat'
nlwill give him ample opportunit!
this time to press his bill to a vote
. Whatever else happens it will no
be fllibustered to death.
After the subsidy bill has beel
voted on in the Senate, the recipro
Icity treaties will come up and tn
n entire question of reciprocity vii
be well thrashed ever. Itiis possibl
THAT some of the minor treaties vii
be ratified, but the great fight wi

course, this appropriation could come about
only BY purchase, for the Treatry Of Paris
confirms all the privileges and rights which
the friars enjoyed under Spanish rule. II
is equally Just that the purchase price OF
these 4OS, 900 acres should be charged, not
upon the Philippine Islands, but upon the
United States. At best, the question is an
awkward one, with only the compensation
that the right administration OF these public
lands should be . potent argument for
cancellation. Commissioner Taft and Secre

understood for some time that he
would not follow the rule Of senior
ity in making appointments to
higher grades, and the selection Of
Captain Crozier as chief of the
Bureau Of Ordnance is confirmation
OF that belief, for Captain Crozier
was promoted over twenty-seven Of
his seniors.
The President, however, Is not in
favor Of ignoring long service in
the army. and viii advocate the
passage Of a law whereby officers
who have served at least forty
years shall be retired in o grade
higher than the one they actually
hold at the time of retirement. That
would give all those who hold the
rank OF colonel the opportunity of
retiring as brigadier generals and
upon a brigadier generals retired
pay. Such a measure would add
considerably to the cost of the army
rom a point OF dollars and cents,
,ut it would make it possible for
