The egg market in the larger cities
IL easier for the reason that the Ar
mour company and other large pack
ing institutions that bought up last
summers supply, are getting uneasy
through the fear that they are over
stocked and are putting storage eggs
upon the market in large quantities
and at lower prices than formerly.
This has compelled other packers to
meet and even shade their prices In
order to make sales. The price OF
fresh eggs has consequently kept low
er in sympathy with the packed stock.
Canton dealers are still selling at
from 81 to "a cents for fresh eggs,
but the supply is not equal to the
demand. The greater portion of those
sold are storage, and the condition OF
many is not good. Some farmers do
their own storing and get the advant-
age of the better winter rates.

BAR ASSOCIATION
PRESENTED TRIBUTE
Sent Floral Offering to Funeral
ofAttorney Rodgers-Passed
Resolutions Of Respect
and Regret.

The Stark County Bar association
held a meeting at Alliance Sunday af-
ternoon to take action upon the death
of Attorney d. E. Rogers, of that city,
whose funeral occurred Monday after
noon. A floral tribute was presented
by the bar and a number Of members
pronounced eulogies upon the deceas-
ed, extolling his virtues and ability.
The following resolutions were passed
and copy sent to the family Of the
deceased;
Again our ranks have been broken;
and again we are called on to pay our
last tribute of respect to the memory
Of one who in life had won the re-
spect and high regard of all who
knew MIN.
On Thursday, January 10, 1903, after
brief but painful illness, Dennis e.
Rogers departed this life in the midst
of a career Of honor and usefulness.
Mr.. Rogers was born at Randolph,
in Portage county, Ohio, May 16, 1868.
He was country reared and common
school educated, but had the advant-
age of a supplemental course at the
Normal university at Ada, Ohio. He
began the study Of law at Ravenna,
Ohio, in 1889 and in 1890 was admitted
to the practice of his profession. He
soon removed to Alliance where he
remained until his death.
Mr. Rogers was endowed with an
acute and comprehensive mind. His
habits were studious and he was at
tached to learning with devoted
fondness which had already placed
him high up in literary attainment.
| His moral life was modelled and based
upon the strictess requirements OF
Christianity and advanced civilization
As a public officer he was conscien-
tiously devoted to the interest Of the
public which he represented. AS o
lawyer he was not only learned in the
law, but had that high regard for tht
interests of his clients and that devo-
tion to their interests which made
him a slave to duty. He believed that
his clients were entitled to the full.
est measure OF his devotion to theiI
cause, and never spared himself In his
endeavor to perform his full duty in
their interest. His conduct and con
versation at the bar, and with his pro
fessional brethren was modest many
and scrupuously upright. In his pro
fessional intercourse with his asso
ciates, in public life, as a lawyer. maj
and citizen, he was pure minded, true
hearted and honorable. Had his lift
been spared to reasonable age h,
would have attained still more com
manding and honorable position II
his profession and among his fellow
men. In his untimely death we havt
a sad reminder of the uncertainty o
life and the proximity and certainty
Of death.
We extend to the widow and faith
erless child of our departed brother
the consolation OF our. deepest svm
pathy In this dark hour of their affllc
tion. We realize what their loss II
and our hearts go out to them in sor
row and sadness.
We recommend that this memoria
he spread on the journal of our courts
that the memory of one so worthy o
our highest esteem may thus be pre-
served, and that a copy be certified
to the family of our departed brother

City Fathers Of VlneIand Ask
Water Works Superintendent
TO Give Up Private Business.

Nineland, N j., Feb. 23-Thc city faith
ers OF Vineland have been placed in the
peculiar predicament Of being forced to
wage legal battle against their fellow
councilman and superintendent OF public
works. Charles Keighley. to compel him
to remove his water pipes from the
streets of the borough.

and glass manufacturer. who for some
time became famous as Vineland's dol

official position by unlawfully laying his
private water pipes in the streets in COM
petition with the municipal water WORKS
Mr.. Keighley not only refused to remove
the pipes, but continued laying new ones.
