In his second annual budget which
was presented to the council last
night by Mayor Smith, figures show
that the city's chief magistrate was
forced to cut $18,100 from the total
amounts wanted by the various de-
partments in order not 10 exceed the
total amount of income for next year
and to also create AN emergency
fund In last years budget this fund
contained about $4,000 next year it
will hold $S,01110, providing the rec
concentrations made by Mayor Smith
are acceptable to council.
OF the amounts requested by the de-
partments for maintenance and i'm
provement and which were sliced by
his honor the board of public service
Is the greatest sufferer. Asking for
s91, 800, the mayor recommends $S0,020.
The board Of public safety was reduced
$4,000, the board OF health $4,000 and
the city board Of elections $500.
AS contained in the board Of public
safety's estimate sum of $4,000 was
decided upon by the directors to fix up
the old market house for the use of
the fire department, mainly. The
mayor reduced this amount just $4,000
leaving 81 900 for the item.
The budget as compiled by Mayors
Clerk Keyes follows:
Canton, o., April 1st, 1905.
To the Honorable President and Mem
bers Of the City Council:
Gentlemen: =
herewith submit the annual bud
get and in this connection l desire to
call your attention to the fact that
the fire department needs very badly
two additional hose houses. The one
should be located somewhere in the
northeast end of Canton and the
other in the southwest end. There
has been very large number of new
residences built in Doth the north
east and southwest end of the city,
and number of manufacturing plants
who employ many hundred men, are
located at both of these points, and in
the event of fire breaking out it ne
cessitates the fire department making
run from a mile to q mile and a
half before they reach the fire which
takes quite a little time, and in the
event the streets are muddy it takes
much longer, giving a fire a good
head-way before the firemen have an
opportunity to put it out, 1t seems
to me that this Is a very important
matter for the city, not only on ac-
count of the manufacturers, but also
on account of the workmen who are
employed in these factories, as a bad
fire frequently results in throwing
many men out Of employment. The

Cured of Obstinate La Grippe.

Henry Distin, the inventor and maker
of band instruments for the Henry
Distin Mfg. Co., at Williamsport, Pa, is
probably the most active old man in
Philadelphia to-day. He writes from
144l S. 9th street, Philadelphia, Pa:
S'I write to inform you that had a
bad attack of la grippe last December
which lasted more than three months,
and which left me with catarrh, and
several of my friends advised me to try
your wonderful medicine, Peruna.
IT began with a bottle the first week
in March and it certainly did me great
deal of good.
II was SO well satisfied that I
purchased another bottle, and followed
your directions which you furnish with
every bottle, and am glad to say that
it has cured me. shall certainly rec
ommend the Peruna to all my friends.''-

Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the
seed of chronic catarrh within the
system.
This is so true that few grip sufferers
are able to make q complete recovery
until they have used Peruna.
Never in the history of medicine has
remedy received such unqualified and
universal eulogies as Peruna.

WOMEN ARE BEING DISPLACED
Change of Policy Undertaken by the
Elgin National Watch
COMPANY.

Elgin. Sept. pa movement to do
away with high-priced labor by wo-
men is said to have been undertaken
by the Elgin National Watch company.
During the last six months it has been
noticed that when women leave or are
discharged their places have been
taken by men.
1893 the company hired women on
a large scale, driving men from posi-
lions they held for years, until now the
ratio is almost three to one in favor Of
the women. Experience has taught the
company that men are more accurate
than women, and that they will do
more in day. In view of thes facts
the company decided to adopt tue pol
icy of giving the best places to men
and the cheaper work to women.

Four Officials of a Chicago Pack
ing Company Are MuIcted
in $4,000.
PLEA OF GUILTY Is SUBMITTED
They Admit Their Guilt in a Railway
Rebate Case.
Worry Is Killing One OF Them Is the
Plea That Is Made-He Is
Stuck for $4,000.

Chicago Sept. 22.-Four officials Of
the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Pack
ing company pleaded guilty before
Judge J. Otis Humphrey in the feder-
al court to accepting railroad rebates
in a conspiracy to violate the Elkins
law, and they were fined a total Of
$4,000. This marked the first victory
Of the government in it's prosecution
of the packing companies in what are
now known as the "beef trust cases."
The four men who pleaded guilty, and
the fines imposed upon them, are as
follows: Samuel We'll, vice president
Of the concern, living in New York,
$4,000; Beth S. Cusey, traffic man.
ager, formerly indicted for interfering
with government witnesses, $1,000;
Vance D. Skipworth, assistant traffic
manager, $4,000; Chess q. Todd, assist
ant traffic manager, $4,000.
Case of Life or Death for We'll.
A certified check for S25,0OS was
handed the clerk of the court, and the
four defendants were released. The
So was for court costs. The check was
signed by Max Sulzberger, vice presi-
dent Of the company. A dramatic feat
ure of the case was the plea of the
attorneys for the defendants that I'M
less the case against We'll was settled
promptly his friends believed he would
succumb to worry. He has been close
ly watched for some time, it is said, as
it was feared he would make some at
tempt upon his life.
Other Defendants Surprised.
The attorneys interested in the de-
Tense of the other packing concerns
against which the SchwarZSchild 4
Sulzberger company has been fighting
in a business way since the issuance
of Judge Grosscup's injunction, ap-
parently were astounded. They failed
to understand such a plea when there
was a possible chance of the court
ordering the defendants imprisoned.
It was not until the court finally
passed the sentence that the feeling
that by some disposition or the court
Jail Imprisonment might be the fate
Of the four men was dispelled.
Charge Made Against Them.
The charge against the four defend
ants was that of unlawfully conspir-
ing, etc., together, and with other per
sons to commit against the United
States the offense of soliciting, accept
ing and receiving for the Schwarz-
schild & Sulzberger company from the
Michigan Central Railroad company,
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific,

pany and the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road company, divers large sums OF

Sailing Vessel Coll des with a
Steamer and Does Very
Great Damage.
DISASTER OCCURS III A FOG
Eight Persons on Board th. Steamer
Are Injured, and the Miracle Is
That 1t Was Not Worse.

Boston, Sept. 22.-The injury of six
passengers and two Of the ships of
fcers by a collision at sea was re-
ported BY the steamer Juniata, of the
Merchants and Miners TRANSPORTATION
company, bound from Boston for Bal
timore and Norfolk, which returned to
this port badly damaged. The Juniata
was rammed thirty miles off Chatham
by the fve-masted schooner HARDWOOD
Palmer, bound from Baltimore for
Portland, Me, with cargo of coal.
The injured are Mr.. and Mrs. Friedell.
Pittsburg, badly bruised; J. w. John

Mr.. and Mrs. John G. Murray, South
Boston, bruised and badly shaken up;
Corporal ]. J. Mattingly, United States
marine corps, hands cut; Captain z.
Nickerson, of the Juniata, injury to
hands; QuartermaSter John Crockett.
hands cut and bruised. No one on
board the schooner was injured.
Close Call for an Ocean Horror.
That the accident did not result in
general loss of life on the steamer
is considered remarkable by every one
on board. The steamer had a great
hole stove in her starboard side amid
ships, her cabins from that point for
ward were ripped and torn into kin
ding wood her pilot house was
wrecked and the foremost and funnel
were carried away. The Juniata re-
turned to her dock here and landed
her passengers. Arrangements were
made to transfer the cargo. The Pal
mer lost her jibboom, bowsprit and
head gear.
Description of the Crash.
The accident occurred at $50 %. NJ,
when the Juniata was steaming around
Cape Cod. A fog hung over the wat
er and the steamers speed had been
reduced somewhat. Captain Nicker-
son was in the pilot house directing
the movements Of his ship Sudden
~ the lookout shouted warning that
a big vessel was to the starboard and
bearing down on the steamer rapidly.
Captain Nickerson ordered the wheel
put hard over and the engines re-
versed, but even as his order was be-
ing executed the tapping of huge sails
and shouts of alarm wore heard and
in less than a minute from the time
the lookout gave his warning the
steamer was struck a terrific blow
squarely amidships on the starboard
side.
Wreck of the Upper Works.
Immediately following the first crash
the schooner scraped along the side
of the steamer, her spars and rigging
turning the upper deck into mass of
wreckage. The staterooms and the
pilot house were torn apart as though
made Of paper. The jibboom Of the
schooner, after unroofing the state
room and pilot house, became imbed-
ded in the upper works and was
snapped off short. All aboard the
steamer remained cool, and there was
not the slightest evidence Of panic.
