VALET OF THE
PRINCE OF WALES
Wished to Bar Akron Man From
Joining Salvation Army.
Adutant Geo. Jaeger of the Akron Barrack
Has an interesting History.

charge there have been 90 converts.
OF this number half are still in regular
attendance at the meetings and so far
as all outward appearances go their
conversion was real. OF the remainder
some have gone back to their old ways
Willie Il large number have left the
city to seek employment
The first convert on the rolls of the
Salvation Army in Akron was young
man who was the ''roughest, toughest
specimen in Summit county and who
gave the police force more trouble than
Il dozen ordinary offenders" He
sauntered idly into the meeting one
night, fell under the spell Of Christian
ity, was converted and, said Adjutant
Jaeger. "has not to my knowledge
been drunk once since that time or
committed any otfense against the
law"
Beside the gospel services and res
cue work the Army carries on Il relief
work which is highly commendable,
They ferret out and render assistance
to worthy people who have met re-
verses and have been reduced to want,
but who are too proud to ask for relief,
and would die rather than go to the
Poor Director for aid. Sucn persons
are given food, fuel, and clothing by
the officers of the Army and their self
respect is maintained by keeping their
names off Akron's INDECENT roll.
Adjutant Jaeger is assisted in his
work here by his wife, who is also an
adiutant, and by Capt. Mary Frey.
These ladies assist in the services and
in the relief work. go about the streets
selling the War Cry and do all the
good they possibly can and this is not
little. One part of their work is the
visiting of saloons and many touching
scenes occur in these places as the
women pass through.
''Since we have been in Akron" said
Adiutant Jaeger. the ladies have been
subjected to nothing but the most
courteous treatment No insults have
been offered Them and even the saloon
keepers have welcomed them kindly
The only exception to this rule occur
red the other day when SALOONS keep

to Il poor, drunken boy, to pass on and

and presented the Prince with an il

The Prince thanked the Mayor for
the gift and said that he would greatly
prize it. The party was then shown

by Governor Dongan PIG years ago.
A short time was devoted to introduc-

HOXIE SECURES DIVISION.

There are no longer any doubts about the matter. For some time the Iron Mountain officials have been casting about for suitable place to plant round house and a new di- vision. Their eyes first fell upon Walnut Ridge. The space between Hoxie and Walnut Ridge was too short, the ground north of Walnut Ridge was too short distance from their other terminal, Piedmont. Hoxie had the advantage in location, the distance being just right and she captured the plum.
 For two weeks, Messrs. Abraham and Chase, surveyors, have been To- eating tracks and so on. The tract oi land selected sets in one quarter of a mile south of Hoxie and runs two miles south, containing 91 acres. Ot this amount Mrs. M. A. Boas donates 61 acres. The right of way was also donated by w. B. Beloate, A. G. an6 | w. F. Richardson, James and Lizzie Ringle, O. s. Choinski and Mack Ragan. The crops and other lands to be used were bought by Mrs. M. A Boas and donated, proving her great generosity and public spiritedness Besides the 61 acres donated outright by Mrs. Boas, she will be at an ex- pense of fully $2,2O0 in the deal.- Walnut Ridge Blade.

WILL REQUIRE FLAGMAN.
City Council To Compel Choctaw To Station Flagman At Bridge Ave nue Crossing. Warrant Issued
 For Hydrant Rent.

At the meeting of the city council Monday evening, with mayor and all members present, an ordinance intro- aduced by Alderman Bailey, requiring the stationing of flagman by the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad, where said railroad crosses Bridge Avsnue, was passed by unanimous vote. The act was considered nec- essary for the protection of the public, as the recent runaway accidents have been generally attributed to the dan gers of this crossing and to avoid their repetition, the railroad must furnish a fagman.
 Upon motion of Wishon, seconded by Walker, warrant was ordered drawn in favor of Newport Water Company for hydrant rentals to July 1, 1902 in sum of $1401.35 and that same be delivered to the treasurer with instructions to forward by regis tered mail to Farmers Loan and Trust Company of New York.
 Upon motion of Wilmans, seconded by Walker, the Street and Alley com mittee was authorized to repair side walk on Plum Street from East First to railroad.
 After theAabove business had been completed and usual bills allowed, the council adjourned.

On December 21, 1901, it will be re- membered that the Wolff Goldman Mercantile Company won their suit for SPA, ,738.01, against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway. The plaintiffs were supported in this proceeding by the fire insurance com panies, which sought to recover the losses sustained i'll the Union Com press fire of April, 1900.
 There were several other like suits brought by the parties who sustained losses in this fire, but after the rail road company had been beaten in the the one case, none of the others were ever brought to trial, and now a change of venue has been secured for these cases to Independence county. The motion upon the part of the de- fendant's attorneys for a change of venue filed Monday, came up for hear ing Tuesday morning. Ashley Cock Till and Francis Johnson represented the railroad and were successful in taking the cases from this docket.

MURPHY WILL MEET MYERS.

After lengthy conference of the officers of the democratic and re- publican state central committees, an agreement has at last been reached for a joint discussion between Harry Myers and Geo. w. Murphy
 One important feature settled was that Gov Davis would not enter joint canvass unless MT. Greaves, the insurgent candidate for governor, was given recognition. This was set tied by the production of the follow ing letter, written by Gov. Davis to MT. Greaves:
 "My dear Noticing that there is disposition on the part of the so- called regular republicans of this state to ignore you in the joint discussion heretofore agreed upon by the demo- cratic and republican state central committees, I take this means of in- viting you to participate in said cam paign if you so desire, and I, for my self, agree to extend to you an equal and fair division of time.
 sYours respectfully,
 ssJEFF DAVIS"
 By invitation of the democratic state central committee, Attorney General Geo. w. Murphy will stump the state with Hon. H. H. Myers, regular republican nominee for gov ernor. A list of appointments open ing at Stuttgart July 23 and closing at Little Rock August 29, was agreed upon by the two comittees Monday for Messrs. Murphy and Myers, and according to this schedule, the two gentlemen named will speak at Bates vile and Newport on Saturday, Au- gust 23 at II a. m. and 8 p. m., re- spectively.
 The list of appointments heretofore announced for Gov. Davis and Mir. Myers has been cancelled. It has not yet been determined whether Gov. Davis and Charles D. Greaves, the insurgent republican candidate for governor, will follow the Davis Myers list of appointments, or whether new list will be made out. Gov. Davis will return to the Little Rock Tuesday and his views in the premises will be ascertained.
