CAUSE FOR JOY
Large Cash Offering at
u. B. Church.

Probably the largest cash contribu.
tion ever raised by Sunday school
in Canton was the Easter Offering Of
s3,2l1.67 at the First United Brethren
church on Sunday. II was the result
OF wide considered plans for the pur.
pose Of paying 4 church indebtedness,
and the young people entered into the
spirit Of the debt-paying enterprise
with zeal that is oommendable.
The result is not only that q bill
has been settled but the spiritual
strength of those who helped to bring
IL about has been renewed.

HorsefIesh as Food.

The extent to which horses are
slaughtered for human consumption in
Germany, as revealed by the official
statistics, will surprise those who nave
persuaded themselves that no such use
is made of horsehesh in that country,
From the figures supplied by the royal
ministry of agriculture it appears that
horsefesh is extremely consumed in
twenty-three government districts Of
Prussia and its use is constantly in
creaslng in all of them. In 1901 nearly
10000 horses were slaughtered for hui
man consumption in Berlin and nearly
10000 in Breslau. Over 10000 were
consumed in the whole of Prussia In
1901 and $1,000 in 1899. The figures
for 1903 will show a considerable in
crease Choice horsehesh is quoted at
10 cents a pound.--Phlladelphia Led

RECORD OF
TRUSTEES
Hope 10 Leave Treasury Better
than They Found 1t

OF the bills approved Monday eve
ming by the villag tru tees amounti @
to some $1,000 orders we're drawn for
S309 70 leaving the balance to be paid
by the incoming board. The general
fund is actually oyerdrawn only s54. rs
by this board.
The approved bills will increase this
amount TO some 500 which will have
to be paid next year. There will also
be the bills for the current month of
February which will be audited by the
board to be chosen at the coming Will
age eection but barring unforeseen
things this years board will leave a
smaller hoating debt than any that
has preceded it for several years.
This Board of Trustees paid at their
first meeting last year over S27OO Of
bills contracted by the old board, and
since that time other bills amounting
TO something less than $4,000 in the
aggregate. This board viii beobliged
to leave a legacy of debt to the in
coming board, as was left to it by the
preceding board, and likewise in sue
cession from one board to another for
many years past.
1t was the ambition of this board to
pay not only the debt left by the pre-
cedng board, but all its own bills as
we'll, but the impossible was evidently
not attainable.
This board, aside from the legacy
above mentioned, aud the current ex.
penses of the village, has expended
$500 for a sewer on West Main street
and 500 on heating plant in the
Stark hose house.
The truth is that practically every
dollar raised BY taxation for the gen.
eral fund is either spent or mor,gaged
before a newly elected board of
trustees takes its seat AS q matter
of law, however, every board has the
legal right to expend all the taxes
raised during the year it holds office.
If it pays the bills contracted by a
preceding board, it does so because
they are legitimate aud lawful claims
against the village, but these bills can
not be charged against the current tax
budget. In other words, any board
OF trustees may pay The bills contract
ed by former boards, and also expend
every dollar raised by taxation dur
ing their term of Office. For this
reason this board has not oyerdrawn
its credit by more than $500.
