Barberton, o., Aug. 6.-The entire
police force, with the exception of
Marshal Ferguson, has been discharg-
ed. Mayor Buel is net willing to pay
the force out OF his own pocket as
certain Councilmen suggested he must
do. He sent letters to the officers
whom he appointed to the force when
he took his office, telling them their
services must be dispensed with till
further notice. The reason of 1t Is

Mayor had no authority to appoint the
policemen. 1t was only by a hairs

GIBBONy
Kicking Was a Mere Waste o
Time.

The plumbing for the new Lane
school building will be installed by
Kraus, Kirn & Co., of this city. The
bid of this firm, $2,596, was accepted
by the Board of Education, 1t being
the lowest that was received. There
was a somewhat lengthy discussion
about the kind of apparatus to have
placed in this building, but the talk
came to naught, despite the strenu-
business of Col. Gibbons, who was the
only man who raised any considerable
kick on any point.

Play Is Always High and According

Although in a general way the as
sertion that gambling by young men of
fortune is decreasing is true, a part of
the average wealthy bachelors income

After stag dinner he may try roulette
or faro in one of the gambling houses
that are nominally run as private clubs.
These private gambling houses are ex-
pensiyely appointed to suit the sybaritic
taste of such young men, There is no
ostentatious scrambling for winnings in
them, nor does the loser bawail his
losses. They are run in accordance with
the strictest ethics of the gamblers
code. To one of these houses last win

his friends one evening after dinner,
and when he had finished playing he
gave the proprietor his check for $780,
