Columbus, March 22.-The apportion-
ment board is at work on the appor-
tionment of legislative districts for the
coming ten years. The governor, audi
tor of state and secretary of state con-
stitute the board. There is rumor ont
that the state will be gerrymandered
but this is mostly speculation. The com
stitution prescribes that no Joint dis
trict can be divided unless the popula-
tion In each division is sufficient te
entitle each to separate representa-
ton. There is some diversity of opin-
lon as to just what powers the board
has In making the new apportionment.
yesterday, news of a disQuietipg
character was received at the mine
workers headquarters here from the
JOINT conference of the men and opera
tors at Massillon, heightening the fears
which have been entertained that the
district may become involved in q
strike. The advices from the Bridge
port meeting were more favorable. Six
out OF the seven questions were set
tied. The eyes of the miners of the en-
tire state are turned in the direction of
the Massillon meeting, and it will be
considered calamitous If II fails of its
purpose.
Next Wednesday portion of Youngs-
towns population will go before the
state board of equalization and make
modest request for a twenty per
cent reduction in the valuation of that
city. The plea will be made that the
appraisement was excessive. The board
has acted literally with many cities
lately, but 1t will hardly grant Youngs.
town such sweeping reduction. JEFF
ferson county has secured a 10 per
cent reduction on farm lands, while CO.
lumbiana and Carroll counties were only
able to get three per cent knocked off.
AS the soil and topography of all three
counties Is very much the same, it
seems, there is a lack of consistency
somewhere on the part of the board.
Colonels Weybrecht, Of Alliance, and
Frease, of Canton, arrived here at 2
yesterday afternoon to attend the ses-

Frease to talk railroad, but his loqua-
city on the subject was of the clam
like order He consented to state, how
ever, that it was highly probable that
the Canton and East Liverpool line, via
Smiths Ferry would be built hits year,
and that 1t would be under the control

Farmers Fight With Hawks.

'Steubenville, o., March 25.-W. II.
Robbins, of Eastview, this county, had
a desperate fight with two large hawks
Saturday evening. While riding along
the road he noticed two hawks fighting
In midair nearby. He dismounted, and
after securing club, struck one of the
hawks. Both of the birds turned on
him with shrill cries, and, darting in
and out and avoiding his club, were
cutting deap wounds in his face with
beaks and falcons. Their especial OBJ
iect seemed to be to get his eyes out, but
he saved them by keeping one arm over
them while he welded the club with
the other. When he was we'll nigh ex-
hausted another farmer came along and
killed both birds after something of a
fight.

Both Children When Married.

Wapakoneta, O., March 22.-George
H. Linder has brought suit for divorce
from his child-wife, Elsie Linder, on the
ground of gross neglect. He alleges
that when they were married he was
16 years of age and that his bride ap.
peared to be about 16 years old, but
in truth as he afterwards learned she
was not yet Ia years of age. They
lived together one year, he states, when
through the influence of her parents,
she deserted him while she was still
under 16 years of age. Both parties
are now of age and hence he wants
q divorce.

DESERVED HIS FATE.
Nebraska Farmer Who Sought q Wife
hrOuS N Newspaper and
Was

A Chicago paper not long since re-
ported the sorrows of a Nebraska
farmer, who had been duped by a
confidence woman at an expense of
about 81, OOO. The farmer answered
an advertisement in a Omaha paper
which stated that a young and beau
tiful woman sought a husband with a
good home. Several letters were ex-
changed and at the solicitation of the
would-be bride $500 to be expended
for a diamond ring was forwarded by
the farmer. After an epistolary
courtship of three weeks he came to
Chicago to see his prospective wife,
who then cajoled him into purchases
of about $500 worth of wedding pres
ents. On receipt of these she left
him, promising to return for the we'd
ding ceremony the next day, and he
never saw her again.
1t does not seem credible that a
man of sound mentality, particularly
a hard-headed Nebraska farmer, could
be thus victimized, but love is blind,
and perhaps the lesson will be worth
all it cost him.
Men and women who are worthy
asplrants for matrlmony are not like
~ to ~patronize the advertising col
umns of the newspapers. No good,
responsible man who can properly
provide for a wife need go so far
afield to find one. Inquiry among his
friends would surely bring to his
knowledge some candidate whose rec
ord and reputation would be open to
him. M~atrimony is, or should be, a
high and holy estate not to be light
ly entered into with any unknown adj
venturer or adventures who resorts
to the newspapers to exploit his or
her charms or desires. Beware of
the matrimonial advertisements
