Runs Off.
During the absence of all members of
the family from home for short time
yesterday a negro boy entered the w.
q, Turpin residence on Church stree {
and proceeded to raneack it. The con-
tents of trunks and bureau drawers
were scattered about, the thief evil
dently looking for money only. Some
one returning to the house frightened
the young scamp away. Nothing was
missed, and the supposition is that the
thief was only after cash.

NO CHANGE IN RAIN PROGRAM

OUIJNCTEs
Rain continues to pour and grass
continues to grow; and there's nothing
in sight but woe, for the man who han
dies the hoe. Again the rain poured
yesterday, and the familiar sign 'noth-
ing doing" was displayed alike on
farms and in business houses Farmers
realize the gravity of the situation, the
grass hiding the young cotton in the
fields, with no chance to fight it even
if labor was available. Throughout
south Georgia this condition prevails,
and the prospect is exceedingly dis
couraging.

department. In an official order two
columns long, Third Assistant Post
master General Madden, who has
charge Of the classification Of the
mails, instructs the postmasters of the
country in the wiles or publishers of
alleged periodicals who are improper
ly enjoying second class mail privil-
eges, practically for advertising pur-
poses only.
He calls attention &c !he fact that
second class mail publications must
have Legitimate list of subscribers
and holds that any list obtained by
means of premiums or gifts, whereby
the cost of the subscriptions is substan-
tally, If not wholly, returned to the
subscribers, is not legitimate. The
number of sample copies sent out as
second class matter must be based on
the number of actual subscribers.

AS A SHIELD

New Developments in the Lorain The.

That Foul Play Was Done.

Lorain, O., Dec. 1S.-The fire in
the Verbeck theatre, in the ruins OF
which were found the bodies of James
Dwyer, Mrs. Ed Marsh and her two
children, may have been started to
cover a murder, is the tentative the
Ory advanced this afternoon by Cor
oner French
The basis of his belief is the fact
that in the skull of Dwyer, which he
examined at noon was found a sharp
inclsion, such as might have been
made by hatchet. rne the remand.
er of the body was unharmed by the
flames.
With this theory comes the probG
bility that Mrs. Marsh and her chill
dren w.,e also foully dealt with. T'n'
suspicious of the coroner are fixei
upon one man. There will be no ar
rests at once but Coroner French
will continue his Investigations, after
which he will hold a public inquest.

A DISGRACE
TO THE STATE ARE OHIO FISH
LAWS.
SO Declares the Report Of the Game
and Fish Comnission-Gam
Warden System made
quate.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 1S.--The fish
laws of Ohio are a disgrace to the
state and the game laws are not
what they should be, is what the re-
port of the State Fish and Game
Commission, Just made to Governor
Herrick, says. The system of Game
Wardens is entirely inadequate and
should be replaced by a system of
paid wardens who should patrol the
state, thus doing away with many
complaints. For the maintenance of
such resident hunters tax of 81
could be levied, while $40 should
be the amount foreign hunters and
all nonresident Nimrods should pay.
Unless something Is done it will take
but a few years to exterminate the
fish in Lake Erie.
The trap net has had much to do
with making black bass around the
islands almost extinct. On October
two Wardens found over 1000
pounds of this kind of fish in boats

pany. A graded license should be
substituted for the present system OF
80 cents per ton for commercial fish,
ermen. Among the recommendation
to the General Assembly for changes
in the laws are:
Hunters license, open season for
squirrels changed from September !
to October Is, to September 20 tc
October 20; abollshment of open sea
son for duck and snipe and other mi
gratory birds in the spring, close

AKRON CITIZENS
HOLD MASS MEETING TO PRO-
TEST AGAINST MONOPOLY
Alleged That Gas Bills Are Twelve
Times as High as in November
Year Aeo-Ready to Be-
gin Meter Inspection.

Akron, o., Dec. 18.--A mass meet.
ing Of the Citizens Committee of
Fifty, citizens in general and city
officials will be called by Manufac-
turer William Clerkin as soon as the
special tests of natural gas meters
are concluded.
Apparent overcharges by the ma
tural gas monopoly have resulted in
general protests against the monop-
ily's method of doing business, and
an investigation will soon be in pro.
gress that will at least assure gas
users whether the charges made by
the company are fair or exorbitant.
Said one prominent householder to-
day: 81 have just compared my bill
for November last year and find that
the charge is twelve ties what it
was last year. And the weather con.
ditions Of November, 1904, were much
more severe than they were this
year."
This is but a sample Of the general
complaints that are reaching the ears
of the city officials and of Mr.. ClerRin
Three of Akron's best known at
torneys have called me up since nv
communication was published and
| have offered me their legal services
without charge" said Mr. Clerkin to-
day. Il propose TO carry this investi-
/ cation through to the end and feel
assured that it will have the encOur-
agemcnt and support of every user
Of natural gas in this city. Akron has
had monopolies in the past. but this
particular monopoly, which takes adj
vantage of the peoples necessities in
| the cold weather months, taking tri-
butte from rich and poor alike an2
wanting the courtesy to give salts
factory attention to complaints
against what appear to be grossly eX-
orbitant charges, seems to be entitled
to the banner"
1t is understood that some promi-
nent consumers of natural gas will re.
fuse TO pay what they claim to be tho
company's eXorbitant charges and VIII
eniOin the company from shutting off
their gas.
The company has a perpetual fran
chise and got it in way that re
quired it to make no concessions 20
the city. Akron was easy picking
/ for the gas monopoly because at that
time the peoples attention was dis
tracted with other franchise matters.
THE Citizens Committee was bus!
fighting for lower telephone rates
when the natural gas grab was rail
Ioaded through.
It is not overstating the matter to
say that so per cent Of AlSron's ne
tural gas users believe that the sys-
TEN of meter charging is all a farce
so far as accurately determining the
amount of gas used is concerned.
