The poor attendance this month is due partly
to sickness, l6O pupils being reported sick during

considerable effect in reducing the number who
were present every day. The month was long
drawn out beginning Dec 9th and ending Jan.
18th. All these causes tend to produce poor
record.
Christmas exercises were held in many schools
and this accounts for the large number of visi-

marry.
Later when the guests had all assem-
bled he came back to her and said he
would marry her, but the bride-to-be
refused to listen to his appeal, and de-
spite the insistent pleadings Of her
parents remained obdurate In her re-
fusal. The wedding feast was served
but there was no bridegroom or we'd
ding. The return Of lover who lgs
ured in a school day romance almost
at the hour set for the marriage Ia
said to be largely responsible for tho

MARRIED IN THE PEN.
TWO Prisoners Converted to the Cath
oIio Faith, are Remarked by a
Prlaat


Ohio Penitentiary News: William
Wrenn. 34918 and Onola Wrenn. 34917,
two Hamilton county prisoners in this
institution, were united In marriage
last Sunday by Father Kelley during
the morning Catholic services. The
event was wholly new and unexpect-
ed experience for the prisoners who
witnessed 1t. The Wrenns were re-
ceived from Hamilton county July %,
1908, to serve one year each. During
their imprisonment both became be-
levers In the Catholic faith, and al
though q they had been married five
years before by a Protestant church
service, they desired to conform to the
rules of their last conversion. The
ceremony was new feature in prison
life and is the first and only one on
record so far as we are able to learn.
Immediately after the ceremony
Wrenn was taken to his cell, while his
bride was conducted to the female de-
partment. They were discharged this
morning, their sentence having ex-
pired, and will enjoy honeymoon trip
with the overtime" money he has
earned while here.

ambition. It seems that the women
who live tough lives are especially
given to the habit. The little OIL
gars are so innocent looking that
children take to their use and 1t is
not long until their health is injured,
their moral natures weakened and
they drift into other vicious habits
and either become criminals or physi
cal wrecks. The trouble is that too
few of them have courage enough to
break away from the habit. AS men
and women grow older the dissipation
Of the cigarette is too light for their
vitiated appetites, and they begin
drinking strong liquors, using NOR
phine, cocaine or something equally
as enervating and demoralizing.
"As many young people would be
saved from vicious lives by the sup.
preston of the cigarette as by the
elimination Of any other evil. The
laws governing the sale of them
should be enforced in this city. It Is
unlawful to sell them to children yet

DISASTER
Feared for Younghus-

London, May 2S.-There is a general
feeling here that Colonel Younghus-
bands expedition to Tibet has met
with disaster.
Despite the fact that large body of
troops has left for Gyangtse to relieve
the garrison there, no word has been
received from Col. Younghusband for
three days, and 1T is feared that the
British column has been overcome.
Orders have been issued to the In

more will be sent II necessary.

People who live I'm the west end
say that they know of one instance
where a mans family is being sup
ported by the township trustees and
that all the money the man gets 10
lost in the games that are run wide
open.
One citizen stated that IL the city
authorities do not do something soon
that the people will make an appeal
to the common pleas court to have q
special jury impaneled to take ac-
tion.
From what can be learned tho
sporting fraternity think that the
present agitation is but a temporary
matter that will blow over in a week
or two, but the best citizens insist
that Mayor Smith and the authorities
not only suppress the places that
are now running, but keep out all
others who may hereafter start UP.
When the agitation started up the
general belief was that Mayor Smith
was in ignorance of the true situA-
tion. Such a claim can no longer be
maintained, as the whole city is cog
infant Of the facts. It is believed
that he will do his duty.

$4,000 SHORT.
OF THE $4,000 WHEELING
SHOP BONUS FOR CANTON
ANOTHER APPEAL MADE
The Committees Will
Make Another Effort.

Friday was the last day for the COM
mittee to work on securing funds for
the Wheeling g. Lake Erie shop site
All work was supposed to have been
completed by that time and the COM
mittees ready to report The solicit
tors held meeting at the office Of
John e. Monnot yesterday afternoon
and 1t was found that there was a
shortage Of $4,000.
This was rather discouraging and the
committees were asked to make an
other effort to raise the full $4,000
which Is necessary. The solicitors will
go over their respective districts and
attempt to see persons who have not
yet contributed and also try to per-
suade some of those who have given
small amounts to increase their sub
scriptions. They claim that in some In
stances certain individuals have not
responded as literally as they snould.
In discussing the matter, Mr. Mon
not said; 1T is now up to Canton
people whether the oity gets the shops
or not, and when the committees make
this last canvass all should respond
literally. II any ones name is not on
the subscription list and they are In
terested enough in Canton to aid in
securing these shops. they can call up
my Office and by Bell phone No. 4S7 or
stark phone $50 and I will take the
name and amount Of the subscription.
II the citizens of Canton do not get
these shops they will regret 1t. This is
their opportunity"

TEMPER GENT LAW
JUDGE WINCH RENDERS AN IN
PORTANT OPINION.
Notice of Demand Must by Personal
Servloe-Letter System Had
Been Used Here.

decision has been handed down
by Judge Winch of Ouyahoga county
that has an important bearing upon
collections under what Is known as the
10 per cent law allowing an attachment
Of 10 per cent of a mans wages for
bills contracted for necessities.
1t has been the custom in this section
to send letters or registered letters
making the demand that the party
against whom the claim Is held appear
and pay the ten per cent of his wages
so as to escape the imposing Of 81
cos.s.
Judge Winch held that such notice
did not come within the meaning Of
the law and that all such notices must
be by personal service upon the party
defendant.
This law has been the subject of a
great deal of discussion in Canton ever
since 1t has been enacted. There has
been too wide a latitude in what are
called necessities, it Is claimed, arti-
cles that are deemed luxuries being in
cluded in the list. If after legal no.
tice has been given the party against
whom the claim exists does not come
forward, an attachment is issued
against ten per cent of his wages and
he is assessed 81 costs. If the defend
ant makes a tender Of 10 per cent of
what he is earning, then no costs can
be collected and an attachment cannot
be issued
