GATHERING DATA

For four or five weeks Jacob ~.
Kaufman, an accountant, has been
delving into the public records at the
court house and his work has excited
more than a little curiosity. He has
been going over the bills as allowed
and paid from time to time by the
commissioners and making notations
of them. e. .
1t has been discovered that he is
working in the interests of the varioui
bridge companies that have been sued
for collecting money on bridges where
the contracts have been irregular 1t
is the plan of the bridge companies if
this and all other counties to demand
of the prosecuting attorneys that they
bring suit to recover all money paid
out by the county, the claim being
made that not a dollar can be legally
expended without an estimate and bid
ed to conform to. The plan is to make
the prosecutions SO ridiculous that they
VIII be dropped. If the prosecutor does
ret begin the suits the companies will
do so themselves. The Canton and
Massillon bridge companies are said
TO be back of this movement.
1t is certain that so far as future
contracts are concerned in this county
there will be no further trouble, as
Auditor oberlin has prepared blank
forms in book form that cover every
requirement of a legal contract and
not dollar will be paid out until the
last provision is complied with.

IN A KANSAS
TOWN
TROUBLE CAME FROM ASSAULT
ON WHITE WOMAN.
Special Police Are PatroIling the
Town and Ordering Toughs
to Leave.

Coffeyville, Kas., April 13.-A race
war has narrowly been averted here
as the result of the assault by negro
upon Mrs. John Griffith, white, the
wife of machinist, and serious trou-
BILE is still likely. Negroes of the
worst class have been ordered to leave
town. In anticipation of clash the
mayor has ordered all citizens to dis
arm.
since the negro's attack upon Mrs.
Griffith the negroes have been arm
ing, to prevent the IyHcnfng or any
innocent negro, as seemed likely and
early today an attempt to disarm a
number of blacks resulted in dozen
revolvers being leveled at Chief of
Police Smiths head. other negroes
rushed to the scene, when a body of
whites stopped them with leveled
rifles. The leader among the negroes
was choked into insensibility and the
otLers were subdued. Many arrests
were made. The negro who assaulted
Mrs. Griffith is still at large.
After the arrest Of nine of their
ringleaders the negroes began to leave
the streets. Six negroes we're later
arrested without trouble. Four hun
dred deputies were sworn in, with or
ders to shoot at the slightest provoca-
ton.
Not negro was to be found on the
streets at o'clock tonight. The white
people are patrolling the streets
They say they will rid the town Of the
bad negroes.

THOMAS JEFFERSON
Enthusiastic Meeting Of Democrats
In His Honor.

New York, April 13.-Not in recent
years has more interest been felt in
a social occasion than was manifest
tonight in the annual dinner of the
New York Democratic organization,
dedicated to the memory of Thomas
Jefferson, which was held in the large
dining room of the Waldorf Astoria
hotel. Every inch of space in the
mammoth dining hall was filled with
well known Democrats all anxious to
hear what the leaders of the party had
to recommend relative to re-organiza-
ton or the promulgation of new prin-
ciples. The guest of honor was Judge
Parker, recently the defeated candi-
date Of the party for president but
even more interest was felt in Con-
gressman Rainey of Illinois, the only
Democratic congressman from that
state, who made a most eloquent ap-
peal to. the Democrats of the nation
TO get together on live issues.
All of the speeches were exceeding
ly lengthy and it was long after mid
night before they we're concluded.

NIEDRINGHAUS
Says Republicans Have Lead Pipe
Cinch on Missouri.

Washington, D. c., April 13.-Thom-
as K. Niedringhaus, Republican lead
er of Missouri, whose election as
United States senator to succeed SEN
ator Cockrell was so long attempted
by his followers in the Missouri leg
islature, was in Washington today,
and spent some time at the treasury
department in a conference with Sec
retary Shaw.
II am not here on political matters
of any kind" said Mr.. Niedringhaus,
Il am simply on my way to New York
on business. Missouri, though, is all
right politically. The Republicans
will hold the state in the future. The
fact is that the legislature could have
been Republican ~ years ago If the
party had had the least idea of its
strength and had gotten together
There will not be another election OF
consequence in the stateyuntil next
year and the Republicans undoubtedly
expect to hold their own at that time. 4"
