EXIT INFIRMARY COOK
Disturbing Element Leaves---Another Letter From
"Inmate"---Asitation May Affect the Vote
On the New Building.

marked the other day that this agita-
tion would not help the proposition
for a new building that is to be submit
ted to the people this fall Said he:
There will be a meeting there in a
short time to advertise the necessity Of
BETTER CCOMMODATIONS.
Other matters may be discussed there,
If they do not lock up the inmates, for
the curious people who will be on hand
to see about the new buildings that are
needed will doubtless investigate a lit
tie to see IL there might not be a ne
cessity for change in management and
directors. 1t is surprising to me that
the directors ignore all these things
that have come up in the last few
weeks.
The infirmary is not penal instltu-
tion. People who are sent there are
not criminals. They are unfortunate
ones whom the public is taxed to sup
port. 1t is tax that people pay will
ingly, and they do not care to have 1t
spent to make the infirmary house of
correction.
"lf something is not done to bettor
conditions there, it is very doubtful II
the public will vote to erect any costly
cottages for that crowd to spread them
selves In, and at the general election
this fall there may be a revelation that

Everybody Has a Chance
at the Fair.
PREMIUMS FOR SHEEP
Are Large and All Breeds Are
Provided For.-Marion
AXE Will Have
Charge.

1t is but three weeks until the fair.
This means that those who contem-
plate exhibiting in any of the class IS
should begin preparations, especially
in the live stock departments. The at
tlRctions this year are to be great.
Every eXertion is being made to have
a fair that Will surpass all others and
make the Stark county exhibition one
of state reputation.
Liberal premiums have been offered
in every department and class and so
generous has been the management
that an award has been made for al
most everything that the average
farmer or citizen possesses. Cattle,
horses, sheep, hogs, poultry. pet stock
wagons. buggies, articles of dress, do
mesttc manufacture, fruits, all pro-
ducts of the farm, dairy, or kitchen,
have their departments and premiums,
and TO one can tell their chances of
winning without entering into the gen.
eral competition.
Marion Ake will be the member in
charge Of the sheep department There
are sevcn classes in this department,
SO divided and arranged that the dis
tinct breeds are shown separately and
do not come In composition with the
others. Liberal special premiums are
given for Spanish merinos, delaine
merinos, Cotswolds and Lincolns, Ok
forddowns, Shropshiredowns, South
downs and Hampshiredowns, and Ram
boullets The premiums range from SO
70 IS. the higher premium being given
for aged bucks and for those under 2
years, and also for ewes of the same
ages. There is also So sweepstakes
permlum In each Of the seven classes.
The conditions under which exhibits
are made are as follows: Sheep to be
shown In ring. All sheep one year old
aud over must have been closely and
evenly shorn not earlier than April 1st,
1901. Sheep that have been improperly
or stubble-shorn or that have been
blackened or have had any other ex-
traneous substance applied, shall be ex-
cluded from competition. All sheep
must be registered or eligible TO record
in Standard Roglstor, which repre-
sents the particular breed.
Stark county has many fine sheep,
especially of the mutton breeds, and
they should be on exhibition at the fair.
Prices for this class of animals are
high and will remain so, 1t is thought.
Sheep raising is one Of the great ad-
juncts OF the farm. and the agrlcultur-
ist is not wise who does not breed from
the best. The finest specimens of the
various breeds are sure to be on exhi-
bitton at the Stark county fair. and
that is where every stockraiser should
be In order to learn what the ideal
shoep Is and who raises them. 1t Is to
tile interest of the breeder and the pros
peoltiye buyer to be ON hand and see
the exhibits.

The cook has left the the infirmary.
1t is said she has not taken her effects
with her, and the inmates are wonder

er there is danger of her returning. The
News-Democrat has received the fol-
lowing letter from Inmate" who
was instrumental in bringing to light
the unfortunate condition of things at
the institutions:

Warren, O., Aug. 14.-Employes Of

whether they would handle black plate

by the steel corporation. No action
will be taken until after an investiga-
tion, which is to be made by Thurs

The Republican thinks a great deal of Captain Joe Alexander. He was al-
 ways Q good fellow. BETTER When very young-not BE more than six months CAREFUL. old peculiar forma- JOE! tions were discovered
 growing from the south east corners of his shoulder blades. and all the old maids who examined the various dips. spurs and angles thereof at that time swore that they were the small beginnings of angels wings. They havent grown much of late years. but that is probably owing to the cli- mate. It is possible that his entering upon a political career has had some thing to do with retarding their growth. However, the cause or result does not matter much, as wings are not very popular now, anyway. But what does matter-what causes the captains many friends to grieve. with exceeding great gobs of grief, just at this time, is the haunting fear that the captain Is losing his grip on the many virtues hitherto so adared by him. and is falling by the wayside. The Rtpub- lican is reliably informed that there are grave reasons for suspecting that Joe Is not the man he used to be. Several times lately he has been detected in clandestine conference with suspicious characters. Frequently he is seen in company with the president of the council. 1lhe other evening he was closeted with him for hours. Allen was there, too. Allen of Jerome. There was a good deal of talk and something of drink. Then Allen spoke eloquently about the mule market. The president said, in the classic language of Chim- mic Fadden. Wat t 'ell." He wasn't there to talk about mules. He wanted to know about some old claims of Clarke's. And then something was said about "50 per cent" and county di- vision" And then there was some thing more to drink. We admonish Joe's friends to guard him carefully. He can't keep such company long and maintain the honorable eminence he established in the ministerial fold last election.

FOR OLD AGE

To the old, as to babies, the even balance of health is more important than anything else in the world. The possible health, in age, is not high and strong; it is only even.
 There is no end, but death, to the trouble that comes of its loss.
 It ought to be watched like a baby's.
 Their future is short; but oh how it turns on comfort! on whether the wrinkles arc wrinkles of pain or of long se- rene enjoyment!
 Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil--for very old and very young in different ways--is the food to secure this even condition of health.
 We'll send you little to try, If you like. SCOTT X BOVINE, 4oo Pearl street, New York.
