Mr.. LEMON RESIGNED.
A Congregation Objects to the
Pastor Praetieins
Medicine.

GAINESVILLE, o.. June 5.-Preaching
the gospel and practicing medicine
have been declared uncongenial pro-
fessions by the trustees Of Fair Oaks
Baptist church, and rs a result Rev.
w. l.. Lemon, pastor OF the church
and a practicing physician, has ten
dered his resignation, to take effect
September 80. Rev. Mr.. Lemon has
been pastor of the church since Septem-
bcr l., 1899, coming from one OF the
Columbus churches. 1t was agreed
when he took charge that he might
practice medicine among tho congrega-
tion but not outside. AS result Of
some of the members becoming indebt-
ed to him for medical services, they
withdrew from the church, and the
trustees felt 1t to be their duty to re-
quest the pastor to confine himself to
preaching the gospel. He TOOK this to
be reflection on his pastOrate, which
has been very successful on the whole,
and he resigned. He will probably go
to Roanoke, Va.

NO MARKED
CHANGE.
Mrs. Mckinley Reported
Slightly Better.
REST
Even Though the Gain Was
Slight the President Ex-
pressed His Pleasure
Last NIqht.

Washington, June CDR. pixey
made his usual nightly visit to the
white house shortly after o'clock
last night and remained about an
hour and a half. On leaving he said:
MRS. Mckinley is resting very
comfortably now. She has gained
little this evening, but there is no
marked change. She Is doing very
we'll"
While the Improvement in Mrs.
McKinleys condition Is slight, the
fact that there had been no setback
during the day, but on the contrary
very little gain, was very gratifying
to the white house household and the
president expressed his pleasure sev-
eral times during the evening. In
view, however, of the gravity Of the
condition Of the stricken mistress Of
the white house, too much Significance
is not attached to the slight improve
ment shown.
President Mckinley is spending q
large part Of his time at his wife's
bedside. He was out driving for
about an hour, however. Just before
supper, with Mr.. L. L. Miller, Of Can.
ton, O., and returned refreshed. With
the exception Of the time spent in
the early evening with few callers
and a short time in the cabinet room
about IL o'clock, most of the evening
was spent within call Of his wife.

IN GOOD SHAPE.
So Says the Promoter of the
Electric Road From Salem
to East Liverpool.

East Liverpool, June 6.-But little
has been heard lately Of the East Liv-
erpool, Lisbon and Salem electric rail-
way and it had been feared that the
projectors of the line, Halt and Smith,
had dropped the matter. This is moi
the case, however, according to Mr..
U. G. Smith, who issues statement.
Mr.. Smith states that the promoters
had had hard time keeping on their
feet from the fact that there were sew.
eral parties desirous Of keeping back
their project. They have now got the
matter in good shape, however and
he states the construction will prob
ably be commenced shortly.
Hon. Fl. II. Poppleton, George Bill
man. George Taylor and William Jones
of the Cleveland Electric company, are
now interested In the deal. 1t is stated
that the John B. McAfer Co., of Phil
adelphia, will take one-third of the
bond issue and that the Cleveland par
ties will look after the rest.

Carroll county's woes still multiply,
politically The iron is being pushed
into her soul. Harrison county insists
on the unit rule. Stark tried the same
gag law the first time Senator Wilhelm
was nominated. They passed unit
rule resolution which was aimed at the
Hon. John H. Fimple and others who
were thought to be responsible for John
II. Thoamass defeat the time Williams
was nominated. A delegate was sent
to Stark to register kick and after
half days struggle the resolution was
changed. But Wilhelm got the nomil-
alton, just the same.
Harrison is little sitter necked.
They have put Carroll in a straight
jacket and propose to keep her there.
Judge Trip, of the Free Press, who
gees nothing wrong in what Stark
county dies, is railing hotly against the
unit rule in Harrison. In the language
OF the scripture, Carroll is unequally
yoked. 1t is So in everything. She is
too sr,all to have separate senator,
or representative. or common pleas
judge. She is just big enough to fur
ni3l about 900 majority at every cleo
tion for the fellows from Stark, Harri-
son Jefferson, Columbiana and other
district associates. Her loyalty has

while she might be better appreciated.

WRATH have broken away, it looks like

either vote the Democratic ticket o,

Judge Trip who is over eighty years
of age, has this in his editorial col

SENSATION
PROMISED
Developments In Trial Of
Clay Runyan.
.IMPLICATE SOMEONE
lntimates That He Will Do Such
q Thing-law Exa mination
Questions To Be MINI
eoara phed.

From a Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, June 6.-Sensational de-
velopments are promised in the trial on
Friday of Clay M. Runyan, the former
state attache, who is charged with sur.
reptitiously securing and offering for
sale examintion questions prepared by
the state board Of law examiners
Runyan intimates he will implicate
some one in authority in the case. 1t
is presumed he is alluding to members
of the board, who are the only officials
who could have had anything to do
with the questions. This imputation is
resented with emphasis by the board
The case will come up in supreme court
and. 1t is declared Runyan's attorneys
will make the contention that the fed
eral court is the proper place for the
trial. Attorney General Sheets says
that the maximum punishment for con-
tempt of court is ten days in Jail and
$500 fine, but this provision he believes
does not limit the authority OF the
court, which he thinks can make the
punishment fit the crime. To prevent
reoccurrence of theft of examination
questions the board has decided to
have the lists mimeographed instead
Of printing them, and this work will be
in charge of one man.

An astounding discovery was made
at Akron when the city commissioners
were looking over the funds of the
county, and reached the bridge fund.
1t was found to have fat surplus.
Now the condition of Summit county is
not unlike that of Stark with regard to
the necessity for bridges, save that 1t
possibly requires more bridges than are
required in Stark. The Cuyahoga and
the so-called Little Cuyahoga rivers
wind their way about the county, the
greater part OF the Cuyahoga river be-
ing in Summit county. Summit is a
very hilly county, many lit
tie streams emanating from the
hilly regions, creating numer-
Gus gullies that must be bridged. Such
a condition does not exist in Stark
county. The Tuscarawas river rises
in Summit county and requires bridg-
ing in many places. The demands on
the bridge fund may at least be said
to be as great in Summit as in Stark,
yet the commissioners Of that county
can manage to keep comfortable sur
plus in the fund and still preserve the
old bridges and build new ones where
required. In Stark county. with no
greater demands than Summit, the
bridge fund is always at low ebb, and
II is frequently necessary to sell bonds
md create new debt for the purpose
of replenishing the fund. 1t seems to
be purely a question of management
which does not reflect any great credit
on the management in Stark county.

TO DISTRIBUTE $4,000.
Final wind Up of the AduIa Case at
Last in sight.

Mount Airy, Ca, July lS.-Judge Speer
of the United States Circuit Court to-day
handed down his decree, distributing the
prize money arising from the capture of
the British steamship Adula during the
Spanish war Judge Speer considerably
reduced the allowance for the officers of
the court made by the master, to whom
the question had been referred, and has
ordered that the sum Of $4,000 paid into
the Treasury of the United States be dis
tributed as prize money.
The Adula was owned by the Atlas
Steamship Company aud chartered to a
Spaniard. Don Jose Soils. The capture
was made by the Marblehead, Comman-
der McCalla, while the Adula was at
tempting to run the blockade at Guanten-
amo Bay during the Spanish-American
war. The amount realized on the stipu-
lation given by the owners for the Adula
was $4,000 and this sum, less the costs
and expenses OF keeping the ship, eX-
peEse of litigation, insurance, losses
from salvage and the like, was distrb-
uted. one-half to the United States and
one-half to the officers and enlisted men
of the navy entitled to the prize money.
The Adula was the only neutral ship
condemned during the war and the de-
cision of Judge Speer was twice reviewed
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, and once by the President and
in all respects affirmed. The case has been
IN court three years. 1t is the first prize
case tried in Georgia since the war of
1Nla
