VERY DISTANTRELATIONS
Attempt to Work Spanish Fraud
on Bellefontdlne Citizens.

Spain is trying to get even with
U. S. and make us pay for the ships
we sank. clever set of swindlers
located in Carthagena, are writing
letters to business men all over the
U. S. informing them that the writer
is an old Spanish soldier in prison,
under long sentence, that he has a
niece, who is of the same name as
the party to whom the letter is ad-
dressed, and distant relative; that
the writer had deposited in the Bank
of England, to the nieces credit $780,
600, before being imprisoned, and
that he wants to send the girl to the
United States, to be educated, and
that she would bring the money with
her The object is to get the party
in tie L. S. to forward money to help
the girl get to England, where she
can draw the money on her way to
this country. OF course that would
be the last of it. Mr.. Charley Hum
phreys, of our city, received one OF
the seductive letters recently, but as
he didn't sink the Colon or any of the
Spanish feet he will not send any
money Spain.

FAIR DIRECTORS
Ought 10 Be Elected In a Fair
Manner.

Tomorrow is the day for electing
new directors of the Fair Board.
Gentleman of the Board, let us
have a far, legal election. Don't
let your friends go away ashamed of
you, and don't make IL necessary for
you to go around apologizing after
ward as we have seen 1t done in
recent years. It makes no difference
to us who is selected for director
from any of the townships, so he has
the interests of the fair at heart,
will devote the proper amount of
time to his work, and try and obey
the law governing county fairs. 1t
is notorious that our fair elections
have been unfair, and run irrespec-
tive of law, and we do not believe the
Secretary has complied with the law
in the matter of publishing list of
awards.
We note this year that what pur-
ports to be the Annual Report of
the S, cretary and Treasurer of the
Logan County Agricultural Society
the year 1903" has been published,
but it is signed by neither the Secre-
tary nor Treasurer. And If 1t was,
II is not such a List of Awards" as
is contemplated by the law. The law
provides that the Secretary shall
publish List of Awards" so that
the exhibitors and taxpayers may be
able to see whom the premiums were
awarded to, and what for. The al
lodged report shows that some 2lO
persons received money in various
sums from the Association, but does
not tell what for; whether it was for
premiums on exhibits or for assist.
ance to the officers. OF these 2lO
persons probably 100 or l25 live In
Bellefontaine or get their mail here,
a number live in other counties leav-
ing not much over or persons from
each town andfownship outside that
took any premiums. The taxpayers
pays to the Board in tax s80s.oO each
year to conduct an Agricultural Fair
and are entitled to see a list OF
awards to see whether the Association
is conducting an Agricultural Fair,
The fair board received last year in
the way of taxes, admissions, en-.
trance fees, etc, s9,5240O. OF this
g., $40 90 were spent on the speed de.
partment, and 81, 5000 was presum
ably paid for premiums. Deducting
what went to parties outside of the
county, we find but little more paid
for premiums, than the county paid
in taxes to the Association.
The people are entitled to a legaI
election, and to have the Association
run according to law.

A GOOD THING.
Push II Al0ng---Our Citizens Proud
of Our Snow PlOWS.

The Board of Public Service and
the men behind the plows. deserve
the best thanks of the whole COM
munity for the efficient way they
have cleared the sidewalks this win
ter. Not since the early SOS have
we had so many and deep SHOWS, and
each morning after a new snow we
find that the busy plowman has been
around and opened paths for the
children to get to school and the men
and women to get down to business.
We have some twenty-five miles of
streets in our city, and as tine side
walks on both sides of most streets
are cleaned, it gives the force
stretch of nearly nifty miles to clean.
They are not able to reach all this,
but it Is surprising how they get over
SO much. Way out in the edges you
will finu the path of the snow plow.
The men STICK at it all night, some.
times, over smooth and rough walks
alike. Sometimes the storm is so se-
we're and the drifting so bad that
they cannot get around until the
middle of the forenoon, but they go
at it as soon as possible. We regret
to learn that the appropriation for
doirg this work is exhausted, aud
hope that the Council VII pass a res
olution to have no more snow this
season or stand behind the Board
and pay for any necessary work in
this line, and we believe it will. The
average citizen and the school chill
dren appreciate the work of the
snow pillow, more than all the rest of
the street work.
