The public sale by A. G. Cum

hogs, was heldin a tent back of New
York store yesterday afternoon.
The sale had been once postponed
and the last dates had not been
sufficiently advertised to reach
breeders of that class of hogs living
at a distance so the crowd was
largely local and consequently the
bidding was not as spirited as it
should have been considering the
quality Of the animals sold. About
IS were sold, the average price re-
ceived being about 500.

The general Offices and sales de

Gated at the plant at Rushsylvania.
The company have also purchased
a 5000 Sorgus-Cockran purifying
system for the purifying of the water
from their wells which will feed the
boilers of the plant. Owing to the
| immense amount of solid matter in
the water the purifying plant has
cost the company more than any
thing else estimated. A purifying
plant for factory of this size would
cost ordinarily 81, 200.
The other machinery purchased fol
| the factory has cost the company
| considerably less than estimated.
We believe the company could have
| gotten better results by putting il
one of Josiah Austin's boiler feeders
which are the finest inventions fol
taking impurities out of water, thaf
we ever saw.

The BATTLE
Against the Ward Bosses In the
Schools.

The Toledo Blade is making a Wig
orous fight against the ward repre-
sentation in school boards. which
Geo. B. Cox is trying to push through
the legislature. The Blade says:
Fully e5 per cent of the citizens of
Toledo are against the plan of ward
representation. They are against
any scheme that seeks to drag the
public schools into the mire OF poll
tics. The small Board plan has been
given a thorough test and meets
every expectation. Under its rule,
the Toledo schools are better and
more economically managed.
The demand for ward representa-
ton comes from politicians and from
the Book Trust If there were no
other reason, this should be enough
to condemn it. But Toledo has pass
ed through the experience of large
school board. The stencil of that
experience has not yet entirely dis
appeared from the school atmos
phere. The last board, consisting Of
ward representative was little short
of mob. There,was no harmony OF
the part of the members. One fac
tion was bent on doing" the othel
faction. and neither seemed to fee
that the interests of the schools
were paramount. The discord en-
gendered there was communicated t.
the schools with the most distressing
results,
