Still After Herrick.

Speaking of the blow struck the rae
ing game by the peanut-political pun
sters Of the Herrick type, the Chica-
go Horseman Of June 21st well says:
"Horsemen in Cleveland have had re-
cent experience with this type of
busy-body, while In other centers,
notably Philadelphia and Pittsburg In
Pennsylvania, and Springfield and Med
ford in Massachusetts, the light har.
ness sports is in eclipse from previous
contact with the zealots. Horse rae
ing has occupied a prominent place
in the economy Of all civilized ma
tions; Napoleon introduced racing into
France as furnishing valuable relax
alton from life of strenuous COM
mercialism has little bearing with
these whose self-assumed duty 1t is
to guard the morals of other people
while reserving for themselves un-
brirdled license. The lesson of the
present crusade will not be lost il it
will avail to unite the horsemen of
the country In one vast body which
will demand its rights and at the same
time seek to conserve the best inter
ests Of the sport"

CRAFTS LAW
Has Been Declared Un-
constitutional.

At the last meeting of the board of
public safety the question arose as to
bonds to be furnished by city Of
flcials. The last legislature passed
what is known as the Crafts bill which
provides that all public officials should
furnish surety company bonds, and
that the cost should be paid out Of the
public purse. After some discussion
the board of public safety referred the
matter to the city solicitor for an
opinion. The fact that Judge Dillon
Of the Franklin county court of COM
mon pleas last week decided the
Crafts law to be unconstitutional may
help theAlesai advisor to arrive at a
conclusion that will be satisfactory
to everybody except the persons re-
quired to give bonds and to the indem-
nifty companies.

GREAT CRUSH
AT THE LAKE TURNSTILGS
YESTERDAY
WOMEN AND CHILDREN
Crowded to Suffocation
by Burly Men.

When the rush to come home at
Meyers lake last night was ON, the
lack of capacity Of the turnstile was
shown A crowd of several hundred
gathered on the outside trying to get
to the cars that were coming and going
beyond the big screens. At one time,
when a Morning News reporter was in
the crush, children were almost smoth-
cred to death and men had to pick
them up and hold them over their
heads in order 20 prevent them from
being trampled under foot or suffocat-
ed. Men pushed and fought and wo-
men had their skirts almost tramped
off Of them during the scramble,
Apparently little regard was paid
to the rights of women and children by
tho large majority of the men in the
crush, and when any one attempted to
protect them they were assaulted. Ac-
cording to reports the scene was re-
peated almost every time a car came
in. 1t is apparent that there will
have to be more turnstiles or they will
have to 60 back to the old style Of
trusting the conductors to take UP the
niClllcs and tickets.

young woman. He made movement to
rise, as If to give her his seat.

She smiled patronizingly on the old
man, who started and looked dazed.

GONE FISHING
Perfect Rest and Quiet
in the Country.

A gentleman who sought and found
perfect rest and quiet" In rural
neighborhood ten miles from railroad
and three from a postofTice last sum
mer, found also that he was free from
some of the things of which one some
times finds ones self in imperative
need in any locality. One morning he
developed a racking toothache that
soon puffed his cheek out to twice its
normal size.
"Yaas," said farmer with whom the
boarder was finding rest and quiet"
thar is toothpuller daown in the viii
lage. / dunno how much of raal
dentist he is, but know he pulls

Hieing himself to the Office of the
'toothpuler," the sufferer found a
sneet of writing paper pinned to the
door on which was written. Have

small boy came along and called out:
"The office is shet cause the post

There was a little drugstore across
the street, but when he was ten feet
distant the man read on the door,
"Gone fishing. Open tomorrow"
Disguised and defeated, the sufferer
turned to go back to his quiet and rest
fur retreat, when he met a man on tho
corner with a fishing pole on his shoul

many years kept a saloon in Wells.
vile and was at one time engaged in
the same business in Toronto.
A well dressed travelling man drop
ped into Dawes place one day, hav-
ing heard that Mcdonald had a very
choice quality of whiskey, many years
old, which could not be purchased
elsewhere. The travelling man threw
down 80 cents, saying:
Give me a glass of the very best
you have in the house"
Mcdonald took a glass from the
counter and filed It with clear, spark
ling ice water. set It down on the bar,

THE DAY AFTER.

July Fourth is all over now,
With its ear-splittiug, head-wrachng
noise.
We passed it, one hardly knows how,
But twas fun for all or the boys.
We shot up the city for fair
We made the old settlement humj
For results we had never care,
The consequence yet is to como,
We didn't intend any harm;
Just out for a sort OF lark;
But Johnny is shy right arm, (
Result of unfortunate spark
That happened some powder to hit
And caused the darued stuff to ex-
plode,
Just as Johnny was ready to git"
He shouted ,"Well, III be blowed!"
Which he was, and when he cams
down
His language was awful to hear.
Twill be weeks before this mans town
Will see much of Johnny, we fear.
And Charlie is short Of a thumb.
The cannon he used for toy
Turned out to be much on the bum
And grief succeeded his joy.
Poor Billy, who once was 50 1y,
viii make those dear goo goos" no
more;
A rocket shot into his eye
And rendered the optic quite sore.
And Sally got into the game,
In casual way, we suppose.
She looks not exa ,tly the same
With that horrible scar on her nose,
A nasty old clip on the ear,
A fire alarm rung in her turls,
Which makes little Sally appear
Not the handsomest one of the girls.
Now what is the fuss all about?
Why tear up both earth and the sky?
Why raise such racket and shoutf
Because 'tis the Fourth of July!
Yet TO witness the scenes, and to hear
The noises that torture the soul,
Most any would willingly swear
Twas not only the fourth but the
whole!

A leap-Year Lean.

He'd been her steady company for six
or seven years;
He seemed to like to linger at her side;
But he never asked her If she'd share
the name he wears,
Nor mentioned her as his prospective
bride.
OF course, he always took her out to
parties and to shows;
He gave her. all the pleasure that he
could,
But still, his conversations never turn
ed to wedding clothes.
Nor did it seem as if they ever would.
Her girlhood friends had married off
and left her by herself;
She often sighed because she was
alone;
She trembled when she thought about
reposing on the shelf,
Like lots Of other spinsters She had
known.
so straightway she proposed TO him, in
leapyear's early days,
She told him something had to come to
pass;
She said they'd taken lots of time to
learn each others ways,
And burned enough Of papa's precious
gas.
OF course, he was surprised at her, but
what was he to say?
JJa aou bio citnatipp at a sylonna.
He plainly understood that he must
either name the day,
Or let some other fellow have chance
He pleaded for little time; he asked
her for week.
She gave him twenty minutes to decide;
He said that It was sudden, but as he
was forced to speak,
He'd always wanted her to be his
bride.
They seem to be contented in the fla
they occupy;
He says she makes model little wife;
She says they never disagree, because
they always try
To make each other satisfied with life'
But there is just one secret they viii
always try to keep,
And they've agreed to keep the subject
closed
He'd hate to have his friends suspect
what made him take the leap
She'd hate for hers to know that She
proposed.

Learninu to Swim.

There is no one phase of a chlid's
early training that is more neglected
than the knowledge of the highly use
full art of swimming. Few boys com E
paratiyely, know how to swim, and Of
course, the proportion OF girls who can
take care of themselves in deep water
is vastly smaller. There is no way
possible Of preventing boys and girls
of all ages and sizes from playing fool
hardy pranks while on the water. The
only safeguard Is to have them the
masters of the situation In case Of ac-
cident, to the extent that they can keep
themselves from drowning for rea-
sonable length Of hme.-Springheld

CASUALTIES INCIDENT
TO INDEPENDENCE DAY
Many Accidents in Canton Resulted From the Use
of Fire Crackers and Torpedoes.

Canton is fortunate in that no fatal
or very serious accidents resulted
from the vociferous manner in which
the national holiday was observed.
Few of the casualties will result in
permanent disabling injury. Below is
as complete q list as could be COM
piled:

some exploded crackers, Baldwin came
upon one which apparently had been
fired, but the fuse of which was still
burning. Almost as soon as It was
picked up 1t exploded with terrific
force, causing fearful injury to his
eyes and the rest of his face. The lash

MYSTERY
Connected With Shoot
ing Of Woman

Marion, Ind, July 4.-Mrs. Martha
Terrell is dead, with bullet in her
brain and her alleged lover, Ernest
Athens, is in Jail tonight pending an
investigation. They were out walking
today and Athens says the woman
asked to see the revolver he was car
rying. He gave it to her and says
that while his head was turned she
killed herself
The police believe Athens continual
refusal to marry Mrs. Terrell caused
the affair, although it has some mys'
terious features.
