the Republicans carrying Shelby for the
first time. Among the cities that changed
from Republican to Democratic Mayors
were Youngstown. Springfield, Akron,

that the Republicans and the Democrats
each carried thirty. In the notable ex-

The whole of Macedonia is now in

forces of Turks are in pursuit of these

mercial The amount Of his populations,
the paper says. amounted Ia between
$4,000 and 100000 The paper also
declares that Penncll contemplated sui

came out as the result of a legal dispute
over two life insurance policies.
Incidentally. it has been learned that

This was to come out of his life inSur-
auce. Pencil carried more than 5000
600 life insurance in order that after his
death the Eastern estates to which he
is alleged Il have been def alter might
be able TO reeoup the losses that they
had sustained through him. In his will
