During the six years that the out.
going commissioner has been in Office
he has been active and aggressive in
the pushing of county work. He has
been criticised, as all county officials
are, yet there are standing as monu-
ments of his wisdom all over the coun-
ty, many permanent improvements that
have been of great public benefit. He
was the pioneer in insisting upon the
construction of stone arch bridges and
structures of more lasting nature. He

would not be taxed SO heavily each
year to make repairs.
A CONSCIENTIOUS OFFICIAL.
Mr.. Summer also opposed the via
duct scheme, which was attempted by
certain politicians two years ago. The
erection of a new cottage for the poor
at the infirmary was distinctively Mr.
Mr.. Summers scheme. When ii was
shown up that the wards of the county
were suffering for comfortable quar-
ters, Mr.. Summer took UP the fight for
a new building and fought with tenac-
ity for two years to get the people to
vote for a new structure, and it is
now almost completed. In addition to
this there have been hills graded
roads improved and much public work
done that is of permanent nature,
The efforts of Mr.. Summer to give
the Fairmount children an outing each
year illustrates trait in his charac-
ter. He has always been active in tho
relief of the poor and suffering, and
his worst enemies admire this trait in
his character.
James G. Burnheimer, who assumed
the duties of the Office, is a man well

Cleveland, and demonstrated when
upon the school board that he had

man who has wide circle of friends
in both parties. and starts into the Of
fee with the best wishes of all.
At noon Mr.. Burnheimer took the
commissioners and a number of his
friends to Meyers lake, and gave them
a fish dinner. The occasion was a
pleasant one, and Jim" was voted a
good fellow.
Shortly after noon, Judge Aungst, on
behalf of the employees Of the court
house. presented Mr.. Summer with a
handsome gold headed cane. Suit
able inscriptions were engraved on the
gift and Mr.. Summer expressed his
thanks to the donors.

COAL SUPPLY
WILL Be BIC
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
No Shortness This
s.-. .. -@r+s Season.

The apparent near approach OF cold
weather draws attention to the coal
situation, and the fear is expressed
that the same trouble will occur rela-
tive to the supply and prices that was
experienced last year.
A local dealer, in summing up the
situation Friday, said that he believed
that no such trouble would occur the
coming winter.
'T' believe that rather the opposite
will be the result" he said, for sew
cral reasons. The price now for soft
coal Is about so cents higher than Ii
was last year, and Notwithstanding
that, thousands Of tons more coal have
been put into cellars by local consum-
ers UP to this time than there we're
year a6o. This condition, l have no
doubt, exists all over the country, for
the people were afraid that the same
conditions would exist this winter
that did exist last winter, and pre-
pared for an anticipated scarcity. This,
/ believe, will have tendency to make
coal drag On the market rather than
drag to get 1t, and SO far as l am
concerned, I am in no hurry to buy in
large quantities. The price is now 25
cents per ton higher than it ought to
be on account Of the Massillon output
and other mines being controlled by
the NJ. A. Hanna coal trust combines,
and their ability to hold the price about
where they want 1t. But other kinds
of coal nearly as good as the trust coal
can be bought of Independent COM
paDies. and that has tendency to hold
the price down"

ORPHANS PICNIC !.
At MEYERS LAKE
Little Onea at Fairm ountH 10 m .
Will Enjoy Outing on
Friday.

Friday Of this week, September %
the boys and girls from the Fairmount
Children's home will picnic at Meyers
lake. 1t is the desire OF the commits
sioners of both Stark and Columbiana
counties to make this an event long
to be remembered by the children.
The New Berlin band will furnish
music during the day. In the after
noon Judge M. E. Aungst, Hon. James
]. Grant, Hon. James A. Rice and Hon.
James Sterling will deliver interesting
addresses. The home is supported by
tax levied upon all the people of
Stark and Columbiana counties, the
former paying three-fifths and the lat
ter two-fifths Of all the money needed.
The people of both counties owe a
debt of gratitude to the superintendent
and matron of the home for the care
they give these children. While no one
can take the place of father, much
less that Of mother, yet it is a we'll
known fact that Mr.. and Mrs. South
worth give these little orphans better
care than many children get at home.
While no contribution will be asked
of any one, IL any feel like bringing a
box of oranges, peaches. plums, pears.
melons or any other kind of fruit for
them, do not hesitate to do so.

CHARGES MADE
AGAINST SHAFFER

Wheeling, Sept 2r-Charges of fail
ure to attend to his duties and possibly
something more serious have been pre-
ferred against Theodore Shaffer, presi.
dent of the Amalgamated association
and that will be Investigated at a
meeting to be held in Pittsburg Friday
of this week.
When President Shaffer did not at
tend an important meeting of the vice
presidents of the association at Cleve-
land August % and "a, when impor-
tant rulings on the scale for the red
book were made, 1t was considered
strange, but when he did not put in an
appearance at the special convention Of
the Sheet Metal workers in Pittsburg
the following week there was open re-
tellion in the ranks. The pressure
brought to bear on the officials was
such that they were finally compelled
to file the charges.
William Gibson, vice president of
the first district, was chosen by the
officials as the man to select a COM
mittee of seven men chosen from
among different lodges.
The lodges. were named Saturday
and one of them was Lewis Avon COM

ers at Martins Ferry. This lodge met
Saturday night in special session and
selected Walter Larkens as their rep
fesentatlve. Larkins is the arch enc
my OF Shaffer and has fought him in
every convention the last three years.
1t is certain that If other members of
the committee are anything like him
the president will get very little SYM
pathy, although he will get justice.

army and served in Cuba with the
Eighth regiment during the Sapnish-
American war. Benjamin Tucker and
his sister Carey were taken from the
Louisville orphanage about four years
ago and given home by Joseph Brig
gle. After the death OF Mrs. Briggle,
about a year ago, Miss Haidt was
the housekeeper and had a motherly
care over the motherless children.
Since the tragedy the Tucker boy
has been frantic with grief. He can

hardly be prevailed upon to eat or
sleep. No blame is attached to him
except that he was careless, and the
greatest sympathy is felt for him by
even the relatives OF the dead woman.
Coroner SchiItz of Canton was sum-
moned to the scene Sunday evening,
and after questioning the boy and
learning all the facts. he rendered
verdict that the death had been caused
by accident and no etfort will be made
to punish the lad.

She went with the party for a ride,
This left no one at home except the
boy and Matilda Haidt, who had been
a domestic in the home for about e
year.
The boy, when he became calmer,
told the details of the affair. He said
that after they had gone, he got the
gun and thought he would shoot a
sparrow. He was standing upon the
porch when he placed the cartridge in
the gun. 1t was long 22-calibre
Miss Haidt had gone into the gar
den to get some vegetables and was
coming out of the gate. She turned to
close the gate and had her back to
the boy, who was about Is feet away
He was fooling with the gun, and in
some way touched the trigger. He
does not know how the discharge was
effected. He had never shot the gun
before, and was not familiar with the
working OF it. The supposition is that
it was cooked when he closed it and
that he touched the trigger without
knowing 1t.
When the gun was discharged the
girl fell and lay still. She died with
out making a sound. The boy was
frantic. He says he ran forward and
back about the yard for a short time
and, realizing the futility of getting
help there, he started for Sparta.
Matilda Haidts parents live near
Otterbein, about four miles from the
place where the tragedy occurred. She
was about 20 years old and was un-
married. She has sister living in
