THIS WOMAN
Had Lots of Strength.
She Picked Up Four Sacks oil
Flour.

An Italian woman who came to Ak,
ron lately was given help at the Poor
Department. She lived in the Italian
district of this city, along the old canal.
She called at the Office of the Depart,
ment one day, and was given sack
of -four. She tucked 1t under her
shawl and started away with 1t.
Someone expressed doubt as to
whether the woman could carry the
load, whereupon she declared she could
carry four sacks Of tiour., two under
each arm. The sacks weigh 40 pounds
each, but the woman managed to dem
onstrate the truth of her statement
by picking up four sacks.
Uncle Joe says that he Is scarcely
ever called upon to help the Italians of
this city. 9A

B. 60.
Is Planning Short
Cuts
Between Ohio River
and Chicago.
Line From Cleveland TO
Sterling
Proposed to Give B. & o. a
Western Outlet.

It is claimed to be the intention,
when the closer relations between the
Baltimore e. Ohio and Cleveland, Lor.
ain & Wheeling have been firmly es-
tablished for the former road to put on
a fast passenger service between
Cleveland and Chicago and to bid for
the western business from this city as
never before.
The new route, it is understood, will
be from Cleveland to Sterling, via the
Lorain & Wheeling, connection to be
through trains for Chicago. The Balti-
more & Ohio's mileage will then be on
ly 373 miles, or 80 miles longer than
that of the Nickel Plate and 26 miles
longer than the Lake Shore. With the
advantage of its differential and no
greater difference in length of route,
the Baltimore & Ohio would at once
have a strong position and become a
formidable competitor.
Surveyors in the service of the Bal
timore & Ohio have gone into the field
to survey a Chicago cutoff from
Smiths Ferry, Pa, to Canton, O., a
distance Of go miles. This will reduce
the company's main line to Chicago %
miles, permit of heavy grades being
avoided and triple the train load haul.
If these plans are put into operation
they will cut Akron out of some
through passenger and freight business.

The Caucuses Are Now
Being Held.
Contest Between Ex-Mayor FelmIy
and Councilman Shumway.

Especial Correspondence.)
Cuyahoga Falls, March ia lively
fight is on among Republicans here
for city offices. The caucuses are
winding up several hot contests, and
it is believed an independent ticket
may result.
The hottest fight is between ex-
Mayor Felmly and Councilman
Dwight Shumway for water works
trustee. Their forces are working
vigorously, as there is a bitterness
of feeling between the two candi-
dates. They became estranged dur
ing the fight over paving of streets
a couple of years ago, which resulted
in court proceedings being brought
against Mr.. Shumway. He was ac-
quilted by the court and now seeks
further vindication from the people.
There is considerable stir in the
fight for Council, too. Candidates are:
DR.. w. A. Searl, d. w. Fretz, Z. Z.
Schnabel, David Evans, Samuel Wat
son and Chas Walton. There are only
three Councilmen to elect.

Columbus, March 15.-Governor
Nash has issued the following procla-
nation, relative to the death of Ben
jamin Harrison:
"The funeral of the late x-President
Benjamin Harrison will occur at In
dianapolis, Ind, on Sunday, March
II, 1901. AS he was native of Ohio,
1t is peculiarly becoming that the peo.
pie of this State should manifest their
sympathy with his widow and chill
dren, and their appreciation Of the
patriotic services which he rendered
to this country in time of very great
peril, and of his great and statesman-
like devotion to the nation as her
chief magistrate.
ut is therefore recommended that
upon the day of his funeral the flags
be displayed from the State House
and all public buildings of Ohio, State,
county and municipal. at half-mast
1t is further most respectfully sug-
gested that at the services to be held
in the churches upon that day, the
intention of the people be called to
the pure, Christian life, the public
record, military and civic, of the IL
lustrious dead, and these qualities
commended to the consideration of
the people"
Adjutant General Gyger has issued
general order to the Guard upon
the death of the former President.

Glimpse Into Their Per.
sonaI History.
Reported That Leslie Had a Rich
Father.

Uncle Joe Kendall remarked to a
Democrat reporter Thursday evening
that Byron Leslie and wife had re.
ceived aid from the Poor department
the first day they arrived in Akron.
They are parents of five of the eight
children taken from the old Wilson
block on West Market St, to the
Children's Home Wednesday even
ing.
Yes; the first day they came here
we had to help them,' continued
Uncle Joe. THAT was Oct. 81, 1899.
They came from Saegertown, four
miles from Meadville, Pa, took up
residence in small house near Weeks
pottery, East Akron"
They required help right along, and
Uncle Joe went to Saegertown once
to try to get the Leslies taken back
from here, but such arrangement
could not be made.
Further inquiry brought forth the
claim that Leslie's father was at one
time worth $4,000, and that he gave
a generous portion of it to his son, who
has lately been so unfortunate. By
ron Leslie is not more than 45 years
old, but looks old enough to be 60.
Mrs. Leslie Is perhaps 35.

WANTS TO CUT OUT POLITICS.
County Superintendents May be influenced
by their Party.

In his annual report to Gov. Toole,
Welch Will recon-
mend legislation which will eliminate
politics from the election OF the var
ious educational officers OF the state
says Great Falls Leader. Mr.. Welch
says: THE offices OF the state and
county superintendents are Of such a
character that politics should be en-
tirely eliminated from their admins
tration. The plan that propose
to recommend is radically different
from the system now in vogue, but |
believe II adopted, it would proTe ef-
fective and popular.
"a mass meeting could he called in
each county prior To election, and
some person nominated for the posi-
tion Of county superintendent who
would be fully competent and the
choice Of representative OF all puliti
cal parties. IN this way the element
of politics would he absent, or AS
nearly so az possible, and the stand
Of our rural schools consequently inl
proved.
"ln many cases county superinten
dents are trammelcd by dlctatior
from parties who helped secure fol
them their nomination. They ar,
frequently asked To appoint teachers
who are scarcely competent. All this
would he done away with II they
were selected by mass convention
composed Of Representatives OF al
political parties. We would in thi'
way secure better candidates, ant

ESCAPED WITHOUT INJURY.
NJ Santos Dumont Meets With a Thrilling
Adventure IN Paris.

A dispatch from Paris gives the
following additional details concern
ing NJ. Santos Dumont and therecsnt
trial Of his airship, says the Inter
Mountain.
All Paris is excited over NJ. Santos
Dumont. The derigible balloon has
become the personal pride and joy OF
all Parlsians. They knew the whole
world was watching every light OF
the balloon, so their disappointment
wos acute, their chagrin intense,
their excitement overwhelming when
they heard the balloon was wrecked,
first reports making IL appear that
the young Brazilian ueronaut had
been killed. From all over the city
people hurried, telling each other the
news.
The a&ident was bad enough, but
not nearly so bad as first dying
rumors had 1t. Santos Dumont was
not hurt, but only his astonishing
GOODNESS saved him from death. In
fact, Dumont was infinitely cooler
than the thousands who quickly sur
rounded him. As soon as he found
himself safe he asked for cigaret,
which he lit.
Prince Bonaparte. Lieut.. Noix and
other skillful aeronauts have not lost
faith in the balloon ultimate success,
because they perfectly understand the
cause OF the accident to 1.-THE fail
ure Of the motor To- pump air to fill
the inner balloon so ms stOcOmpensate
for the gas which had escaped and so
keep the great balloon faulty inflated.
When the stern fell In a flabby way
the screw began to cut the suspensory
wires, and the only chance left for
Dumont was to stop the machine and
drift with the wind.
NJ. Deutsch was much disappointed
that his 100000 francs had not been
won. Said the donor:
IL have feared that an accident to
someone striving to gain my prize
would occur. / wish could revoke
1t, but the gentlemen of the commit
tee say Icould not honorably do so.

lDteU falls lTlDune'l
Chas. Carpenter, wlo at one time
lived in Fergus county but has for
several years been in Siberia, passed
through Havre last week en- route to
his old home Ia Jefferson county, New
York.
He has been engaged in both min
Ing and cattle raising. He dug the
golden sands In the creeks which flow
into Lake khangka and the Suiiin
river, and also in the Amur district
OF eastern Asia. But the diggings
were not rich and he went into the
cattle business eight years ago in
western Siberia on the Oh river, hav-
ing crossed the entire country with
OK teams.
The business IL conducted, accord
Ing to Mr.. Carpenter, In n most crude
way. But little hay IL made and the
cattle and horses seek their food
through the thin sheet ofsnuw which
covers the steppes or plains. A single
severe snow storm sometimes de-
stroys thousands Of animals. The
Siberian plague IL another enemy OF
the stock raiser. The new Russian
railroad has furnished quick means
Of transportation which will make
