T. J. Shaffer Lodge of the Amalga-
mated Association, held a meeting yes
terday afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Whitehouse. Of
Wheeling, were the guests OF Mrs. John
Schively on Saturday.
Miss Nellie McKeen has returned to
her home at Neff's, after a weeks visit
with friends in the city.
great many people went out on the
B. & o. yesterday to spend the day with
friends in the country.
The streets are in terrible condi-
ton. 1t will take the street commits
sioner several days to clear things up.
Nearly all OF the men who lost their
positions because of the strike at the
Bellaire mill have secured positions
elsewhere.
The fakirs and showmen tore down
their tents Saturday night and many
OF them left early yesterday morning
for Indianapolis.
A very cosmopolitan crowd left last
evening on the west-bound train. Al
most every class and condition OF hui
mainly was represented.
The gambling machines in operation
during the carnival reaped rich har-
vest It is said that men who ought to
have known better were the heaviest
losers.
The bricks taken from the pavement
to allow tent stakes to be driven should
be replaced at once and the crevices
well filed Otherwise water will seep
in and the pavements will be ruined.
The street car service during the
past ten days has been all that could
be asked An eight minute service has
been maintained and direct cars for
both Martins Ferry and Wheeling were
run.
The large crowds have come and
gone and not single crime OF any
magnitude was committed. This Is GER
tainly good showing, when the num-
Der of people thus brought together 10
taken into consideration.
1t is now thought that the young man
who got away with the $50 Is not so
much to blame after all. The only re-
greet seems to be that he did not do the
fellow for larger sum. The man who
ran that game doesn't deserve much
sympathy.
There is some talk of a prominent
travelling man who was painfully in
inred by being thrown by the guy ropes
of one of the tents, while getting on a
car, suing the city for damages. There
is no doubt but that he has grounds for
a suit, and II inclined could make 1t
costly for the corporation.
There is possibility Of company
being organized in this city to start
an independent window glass factory.
The gentleman at the head Of the move
ment was formerly at the head of such
a factory here and is very able man
ager He has met with considerable
encouragement among the business
men Several glassworkers whose
homes are here are willing to take big
block of the stock. 1t is thought that
there is at least $4,000 in sight for
factory to start the subscription list.
Each and every taxpayer in the State
Of Ohio should be interested in the tax
reform movement that has been taken
up by the Democratic party. For years
the railroads and other wealthy cor
porations owning valuable properties in
different counties and even States have
not borne their just portion OF the tax
alton. Investigation shows that the
same road is taxed three times as
much in Indiana as it is in Ohio. In
Ohio the owner of small home or
farm is taxed about so per cent. of the
value of his property. This is a gross
injustice to the great mass of people
who are compelled to labor hard for
the few comforts of life they may be
able to accumulate by strict economy.
There Is no just reason why corpora
ton with no other interests than its
own gain should be given preference to
the man who makes and spends his
entire income in the same community.
These selfish corporations should be
made to bear their just burden of the
taxation The property owners should
consider this question before casting
their ballota
