Secretary Of War before Senate
Military Committee.
Washington, Dec Secretary Root
was the first witness before the senate
committee on military affairs, which is
investigating the protests against the
confirmation Of General Leonard Wood
to be major general.
Mr.. Roots testimony was in defense
Of General Wood on the charges that
have been made during the course OF
the hearing. He read extracts from Of.
fetal correspondence bearing on the
charges and also concerning General
Woods administration as governor gen.
eral Of Cuba. He was on the witness
stand two and half hours.
Senator Teller was present and asked
Secretary Root a number of questions
bearing on the case, many of which
were suggested by the testimony which
the secretary gave. Secretary Root did
not conclude his testimony, nor did
Senator Teller submit all the questions
he desired, and the committee decided
to hear Secretary Root again.

Fish Story.

The members of the fishing party
who spend a few weeks every year,
on a fishing excursion to Georgian
Bay, to improve their health and
morals, left Wednesday. We envy
them their rest, recreation and fun.
The party consists of one member to
pull the fish bones out of their
throats, one to pull the teeth of the
big fish, so they won't bite anything
but bait, one to measure of fish
stories by the yard, one cowboy, one
of the Wild West show, and light
weight and three blackstones, for
sinkers-one Dutchman, one Russian,
one Irishman, one Englishman, one

Telephone News.

The Directors of the United Tele-
phone Company, of Bellefontaine, and
Logan county, met Tuesday. and de-
cided that the increased schedule of
rates should not take effect until
August /, owing to the defective SER
vice during the change of systems.
II was also decided to furnish the
city with four free phones, one at the
Electric Light Works, one at the
Water Works station, one at the
Fire Department, and one at the
office of the Mayor and Auditor.
This will accommodate not the city
officials alone, but all who have tele-
phones.
Miss Ella NJ. Connors, of Sandusky,
has been employed to take charge of
the new switch board for the purpose
of drilling the operators and perfect
ing the work of the entire system.

FIRE!
Hooker Saw Mil Burned. Tuesday
Night.

The Hooker saw mill located in the
west part of town, not far from the
hame works, was burned Tuesday
night, about IL o'clock. The firemen
reached the scene too late to save it.
The mill was movable one, bnt was
4 very complete one. Mr.. Z. Z.
Hooker, the proprietor, who lives on
East Williams street, says there was
no fire when he left the mill, and that
IL must have been the work of an in
cendiary. He was doing fine bust
ness, and his misfortune is much de-
plored, as he had no insurance. His
loss is about 81 900.
Mr.. Hooker has since purchased
the Harrod wood working factory, on
Center street, for a mill.

Mr.. S. Il. West, the attorney of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS COM
pany, in his speech before the Coun-
Gil, Tuesday evening, asked
swhere are those who have been op-
posing" the lease of the gas works?
and then accused them of insincerity,
because they were not present. This
was cheap talk. The people had no
attorney there; no individual citizen
had an invitation to appear there.
The people have elected seven coun-
cilmen to look after rtheirinterestsa and
had no call to be there. But there is
a wider tribunal than the Council,
reached by the press, and it is open
to Mr.. West to answer the objections
that have been made to leasing our
works. The people have their homes
and their business, and their church
es, and their lodges, and sickness,
and many things to keep them from
being present at Council meeting ev-
cry time paid attorney appears to
plead the cause of his client, right OF
wrong. The charge that their alb
sence proves their insincerity, be-
trays lack of confidence in the justice
of the cause he pleads. What inter
est can any citizen have in opposing
the selling out of our public utilities
that could be called insincere. If he
had been hired by the city to attend
to its interests and had or had not op
posed the sale or leasing, there nigh
be ground to charge insincerity, o
might not, according to circum
stances! But the man who stands NJ
for his country or his city, and risk
his life, or his property, or his busi
ness, or his popularity, in doing SC
may be indiscreet or foolish, bu
never insincere. The insincere ma
. acts from another purpose than tina
which he avows, from hope of pei
r sonal gain, popular favor or
, "graft." None of these things doe
{ the man do who stands by the city
3 interests, against all who would d.
spoil her.

Various Reports About the Story
Tcld by the Ghoul.

The Daily Columbus Dispatch, OF
Wednesday evening, contained the
following Associated Press dispatch.
Associated Press dispatches are never
sensational, are carefully written
and generally correct. They are not
sent in by Especial correspondents, "
who too often write anything they
can pick up:
Indianapolis, Ind, July 14.-Acting
on statements made in afidavits by
Rufus Cantrell, the king of the
|Ghouls,r serving sentence at the JEFF
fersonville reformatory, officers ac-
companied by Cantrell, who was
brought here yesterday afternoon,
visited the Union Chapel cemetery
near Nora, ii miles from Indianapolis
and two graves were opened. 1t was
expected according to statements of
Cantrell, that there would be found
the body of Miss Carrie Selvage, an
indianapolis school teacher who dis
appeared from the Union state hos
pital March IL, 1900, and was never
found.
Cantrell when he arrived at the
cemetery was uncertain as to which
grave she was buried in Two graves
we're opened and one was found to
have been disturbed as Cantrell
said it would be found, with the rough
box broken open and the coffin lid
turned upside down. The body in it
was not recognized Cantrell in his
confessions claims to know the secret
of the disappearance of Kenneth
Lawrence, wealthy young man who

DANGER AHEAD!
For the Best Interests OF
the City.
The Scheme to Lease the City
Gas Works Must Be
Blocked.

''If the Gas Works won't pay, we
would better sell them" said Mayor
Haviland at the Council meeting,
Wednesday night.
If everything is to be sold out, that
does not pay, in dollars and cents.
we ought to sell out the city govern
ment, the fire department., the cleo
trio light plant, and other things
that might be mentioned
The gas works were not built to
pay expenses. They we're built to
furnish our city with gas at reason
able price. They have done this
They gave us gas at $500 and - 90
when gas companies in neighboring
cities were charging $500. They
paid expenses. 1t is only when the
gas works have had to furnish the
city with gas for nothing, and have
had to pay the expenses of the cleo
tric.light works, that they have not
paid expences.
Our citizens would get no such SER
vice as they get now, at the prices
we pay, If our works were sold to pri-
vate parties.
Give the gas works chance. The
city has already invested $4,000 to
put them in condition to meet the
increased demands upon them, and it
is no time to talk about selling them,
Mr.. Mayor, nor leasing them.
From the day our gas works we're
built-yes, before they were COM
pleted-designing individuals have
wanted them sold, and it is not for
the public's good but their own. The
scheming that has been done in this
line, would make an interesting chap
ter in the city's history.
We cannot understand why new
bonds are to be issued to go on with
the improvement of our gas works,
if they were to be sold or leased.
Putting them in order to lease
| them would be foolish. When we
get the improvements made that are
under way, we will have holder that
will meet the necessities of our grow
ing city, and enable the gas works to
make money as well as gas. Under
the supervision of the Council, May
or and Board of Public Service, pro-
vided for in the new code, this can be
done as well by the city as by pri-
vate company. And if it cannot
be done at present prices, it cannot
be done by company. without rails
ing prices.
There is great concern for the city
ljust now, to get rid of it public utili.
ties. a disposition to rush scheme
to sell US out. and the people must
awake right soon or it will be too late
for them to act.

Total

The Sinking Fund Trustees have
autho, ,rized levy of six mills, making
grand total OF 14.6 mills, which is a
REDUCTION OF the levy of last year OF one
and ne-half mills.
By way OF explanation, in the Police
Department the total amount allowed
was 1854, but from this deduct the
estimated receipts, which is from Dow
Law TX $500. from fines, costs and
licenses $1,000.
/ have made several cuts in the Fire
Department estimate, for can see no
reason why the department as consti-
tuted should cost any more next year
than tfis. We need a bell striker and
il you decide to have one, this can be
paid for out OF the General Expense
Fund.
In my opinion what we need more
than anything else, is a sub-station In
the west end.
The levy for Electric Light is double
that OF last year, and in my opinion
it is right. for it would cost more than
S., 100 to light the city il supplied by
private company, and the levies here
tofore made have caused deficiency,
all citizens get the benefit, and should
pay for it and not the consumers.
You will notice nothing allowed for
public service OF gas. There is very
little used, and with all the new inn
provements, with no competition, ii
the Gas Works cannot be made to pay
they had better be sold.
The same amount has been allowed
for the parks as last year.
| The sanitary levy has been increased
four-tenths OF a mill, made necessary
by the late epidemic OF smallpox.
Nothing has been allowed for bridges
as the city receives about s. 900 as its
share from the county levy which is
usually transferred to the Street Fund.
Three hundred dollars has been al.
lowed for salaries OF the members oi
the Board OF Public Service, the bal.
lance OF 5000 shoulS-be paid, one-hali
by the Water Works and one-half by
the Gas and Electric Light Works.
Nothing has been allowed for Clerks
salary, Bookkeeper's salary or station
cry and Office supplies for the Boarc
OF Public Service, as this should b,
paid by the Water, Electric Light anC
Gas Works.
The Street Fund has been reduced
to one mill or $500. The city re
ceives from the County Pike Repai
Fund about S2, 200, and also the Bridg,
Fund amounting to 81 900 collected b,
county is usually transferred to tn,
Street Fund. This will-make tota
: Of about 81 400 available for street pur
poses. / think this is about doubl
the amount expended in the year 1902
and also will be double what will b
expended this year.
The General Expense Fund, with
: levy of l.3 mills will amount to s., 81
: and will receive from Dow Law Ia
$500, making a total OF $3.50. Thi
is not as large an amount as raise
last year, but the expense is not al
: ticipated to be as great, for all the oil
a debts OF the city have been paid an
. for this you should be congratulate,
8 Respectfully,
: WILLIAM L. HAvILAND, Mayor.
