Creston, April 15.-Hon. John Gibson,
who has always taken great interest
in the work OF the public schools of
the city, has Just showed his apprecia-
ton in a most substantial manner by
offering $50 in prizes for the best essays
written by members of the school. He
has divided it into four prizes one
of SIS for the best essay written by a
boy on the subject of Success" and a
second prize of $40, and a first prize of
essay on Home" and a second prize
of $40 for the girls on the same sub
ject.
The people of Alton are greatly ex-
|cited over the attempt to burn the old
frame school house in the south part
of town. The night Waterman dis
covered flames issuing from the build
ing about twelve o'clock at night and
gave the alarm The fire was quickly
extinguished when it was found that
coal oil had been used to start t. What
was the object of the person who start
ed the fire can not be guessed as the
OLD building was to have been torn
down at the end of the present school
wear to make room for a more modern
brick structure.
The protracted meetings that have
heen running at the Baptist church here
for the past ten days and that created
so much religious excitement have
closed, and Rev. Lamkin, of Philadel-
phia, who has been holding three SER;
vices day has departed for his new
field of labor in Wichita, Kansas. The
meetings were the most successful ever
held by single denomination in Cres-
ton and nearly sixty souls were led
TO the Master as a result. There is an
effort being made to have Rev. Lamkin
return and hold series of meetings
under the direction of all the churches
of the city.
One of the most important meetings
ever held by the local lodge M. w. A.,
was conducted in the new lodge rooms
last night when the Osceola forester
team was present and initiated twenty
five new members into the mysteries
of Woodcraft Deputy Roy Wilson was
the man who secured the applications
and there were visiting Woodnlen pres

RECEIVER
Demanded for the Crafts
man Publishing :.
Company.

James A. Robson, one OF the part
ners in the Craftsman Publishing
company, has brought suit in court
asking that a receiver be appointed
to take charge of the company's af-
fairs and that the paper be sold and
an accounting taken of its finances.
The petitioner states that the COM
pany was organized November l, 1902,
with himself and Thomas F. Snyder
as the owners. Each put In the sum
of 5000. 1t is charged that Mr.. Sny-
der has been collecting money that he
has not accounted for, and that as a
result there is not sufficient money on
hand to pay current expenses. 1t is
also asked that an injunction be al
lowed restraining Mr.. Snyder from
making further collections.
These charges are made by Mr.. Rob-
ison in his petition. An effort was
made to see Mr.. Snyder and get a
statement from him, but he could not
be found Friday evening.
The paper is published in the inter-
ests of organized labor in Canton and
has been rather literally patronized
There has been some friction between
the partners for some time past.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 4,-No def

such actions may be taken tomorrow.
For that reason II adjourned until that

both branches will adjourn tomorrow,
and permit the session 10 come to

Investigation pointed to the fact
t,iat Miller had been attacked in the

was asked If he had any personal enc

circumstances of the case. Although

STILL AGITATlNG
TICKET QUESTION
Massilion Board of Trade Takes Up the
Fight Against the Canton
Akron Company.

- ~N'''tSN'Y
According to the following from the
Cleaner, the Massillon board of trade
has taken up the fight against the Can
t0n-Akron company on the question OF
selling round trip tickets between that
city and Canton:
by far the most important matter
which came before the board Of trade
meeting last evening was the demand
recently made by the Canton-Akron
Railway company that 25c round trip
tickets, between Massillon and Canton
shall be bought-ats- -the regular ticket
0nices, the sale OF round trips on the
cars by the conductors being prohib-
ited.-
The matter was brought up by Mr..
y. al Rooms, who, after expressing
himself plainly as much dissatisfied
With the arrangement, moved that the
matter be referred to the committee
Of the board on railways and trans
portatipn, with the view that they
shall consult the boards of Canton and
Navarro and In. company with them
pr0teed to secure, II possible, recon-
alteration OF this action by the COM
pany.
The1motion-fwas promptly seconded
by j.. C.. Corns and a very general ex'

ranted proceeding, and one which

CHIEF GAME WARDEN SUS-

-
Rabbits Can be Killed at
Any Time of Year.

WITH DOGS OR FERRETS
WITH DOGS OR FERRETS

j. G. Porterfield Writes and Sets the
Massilon Man Right on Game Law.
Persons Have Been Arrested and Fin
ed WrongfuIly by Ignorant Justices
of the Peace.
Will Mr.. Andrew Dangeleisen, game
warden, who lives at Massillon, ac-
knowledge that the Morning News was
right on the rabbit law and that he
was wrong? After his controversy
with the News he wrote to j. c. Por-
terfield, chief game warden of the state
who in his reply took exactly the po-
sition taken in these columns, that
rabbits can be killed at any time Of
the year if the hunter does not use
a gun during the closed season and
gets a permit from the land owner.
There is no law against killing them
with ferrets or dogs, clubs or stones,
and they can be sold in the open mar
kets at any time.
Mr. Porterfield's letter to Mr.. DAN
geleisen is as follows:
Dear Sir-You will see by section
6961, of the game laws, that the open
season for killing rabbits by the aid
or use of any gun is from November
10th to December 1st, inclusive. In
the latter part of this section you
will find a provision which says
nothing in this section shall be held
to prohibit the killing of squirrels or
rabbits at any time by the owner or
authorized agent only Of any premises
whereon, they may be found injuring
grain, berries. fruit, vegetables, trees
or shrubbery." The law means by
authorized agent" the man who is
in control of the land, as renter
would be. You will observe that it
says owner or authorized agent
only" hence 1t is very plain that this
right to SHOOT RABBITS at any tine
In the year can not be transferred TO
another. In section 1864, which re-
lates to the possession and sale of
game, there is provision which
says nor shall anything herein apply
to rabbits" This makes the entire
section void so far as rabbits are con-
cerned. Therefore it is NOT UNLAW-
Full to have rabbits in possession or
buy and sell them at any time during
the year. NOR is 1T UNLAWFUL TO
HUNT THEM IN ANY MANNER
EXCEPT WITH A GUN. However, il
will be necessary at all times to first
obtain a written permit from the own
er of the land. The object of this law
is to put in the hands of the farmer
means of destroying rabbits at
pests, either by shooting them him
self or ALLOWING OTHERS TO
KILL THEM WITH DOGS, FERRETS
OR IN ANY MANNER EXCEPT
WITH GUNS. Prohibiting the owner
or ngent to transfer the privilege OF
shooting rabbits to any other person
IN done 10 protect our quail and phea-
sants as parties with permits to shoot
rebbite are always tempted to kill
quail and pheasants,
Yours very truly,
j. G. PORTERFIELD,
Chief Warden.
The question now is will restitution
be made to those parties whom Dang
eleisen claims he has convicted under

COLOMBIAN CRUISERS.
Have Very Lately Appeared in
Gulf of Darien.

Colon, Dec. 13--Through the exam
nation of the San Bias coast made by
the United States cruiser Atlanta and
the converted cruiser Mayhower, both
OF which vessels have returned mere,
II has been clearly established that
the Colombian cruisers Gen. PlnZon
and Cartagena appeared In the gulf Oh
Darien about SO hours after they were
reported as having left Cartagena. No
reliable evidence, however, could be
obtained to show that any of the troops
carried by the cruisers had been landed
either on the gulf coast or northwest
thereof
The Atlanta and the Mayflower made
a thorough inspection of the entire VI
entity. 1t was learned that at one
coast point the Cartagena embarked a
small quantity of naval stores, a few
bullocks. some corn and so pieces of
zinc roofing, but no information could
be obtained as TO the direction taken
by the cruiser thereafter. 1t has been
reported here Colombian troops were
landed at a certain point on the Pan
anna coast, but the Atlanta was present
at this place at the time when, accord
ing to the report, the troops should
have been landed, and saw nothing.
The naval officers found the attitude
of the Indians to be Indifferent and
even repellant. The traditions OF the
Indians for centuries have been against
aliens to land in their territory, and
these traditions they still maintain
They often declined to answer the ques-
tons OF the interpreters and on sew
eral occasions their information was
found to be misleading.
The information obtained by the At
lanta and Maynower indicate either
that the Colombian troops have been
returned to Cartagena or that they
have been landed at some point on the
coast between Cartagena and the gulf
Of Darien, and may be proceeding
thence toward Cauca.
The Atlanta sailed again toward the
gulf OF Darien this afternoon and VIII
continue careful patrol of the coast.
II would be impossible for the Car
tagena and the General Pinzon to enter
at Atroto river, because the mouth OF
the river has a slx-foot bar No small
boats are obtainable thereabouts a
no considerable number OF troops could
be transported up the river The only
boats to be had consist of few canoes.
The remainder of the marines on
board the auxiliary cruiser Dixie will
be landed Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday next, satisfactory arrange
ments having been completed to obtain
good water Tor the camp at Culebra,
on the line OF the Panama railroad.

eating process has gone on until the
demand OF labor In for q reasonable
margin beyond that fixed by the iron
law Of wages.
"The wage system Will pass away II
is, as has been shown, unsatisfactory IN
many OF Its applications, 1t depends
too largely for its equities upon the
generosity and great mindedness OF en-
ployers. That there are many who
would scorn to influence votes or ac-
lions of their employees and who would
be in capable OF taking petty or great
advantages OF their workmen, is hap
PLY true. That there are others, how
ever, who make use Of these opportun-
tiles proves the weakness Of the system
and argues for n greater measure Of
independence for those who labor.
