The Almeria Miller Club.

One of the most exquisite
social functions the editor of the
COURIER and his better half ever
attended was the open session OF
the Almeria Miller club at the
elegant home of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. G. Agee of Keytesville Fri
day evening of last week. Every
detail was perfect in arrange
ment and was carried out in a
very interesting manner.
Slips of paper containing the
names of animals, two of a kind,
were passed among the guests,
and in that way conversati onal
partners were chosen.
The subjects of conversation to
be discussed by each couple
were written on the opposite
side of the slips of paper which
contained the names of the
different animals.
An amusing feature of this
selection of partners occurred
when T. j. Martin and Frank L..
Elledge met. They were both
"elephants," and their feelings
of disgust and disappointment
were plainly depicted upol
their countenances, and while
painful to them, it afforded much
myrth for others. The situation
was made more ridiculous by
the fact that Messrs. Eartin and
Elledge were both bald.headed
elephants and were, therefore,
in menagerie parlance, "among
the greatest living curiosities.
The guessing of appropriate
names of professional men, 8
wives was very entertaining.
For instance, the lawyers wife
was Sue; the gamblers wife was
Bette; the shoemaker's wife
was Peggie; the doctors wife
was Patients; the dancing mas.
tdr's wife was Grace.
There were 20 different mum.
bers and those who proved most
proficient in guessing correct
ly were: Mrs. q. T. Lamkin,
Mrs. H. II. Miller and Miss Ma.
bel CASTOR who guessed all the
numbers rightly and tied for
the lady's prize-a tiny cuckoo
clock. The "ti e. was untied'
by guessing at the number of a
certain page in a book, and Mrs.
Lamkin won.
| H. j. West captured the
gentleman's prize-a handsome.
ly bouud volume of Hiawatha,
and he was made as happy as a
ooy with a free ticket to a cir.
Gus.
Mrs. H. l.. Mann of Bruins.
wick cbarmingly rendered a
couple of beautiful songs, which
were very greatly enjoyed by
all.
Next came the drawing of
partners for refreshments, each
couple and table being number
es. In this particular the editor
of the COURIER was considers.
bly, handicapped as our wife was
seated at the same table we
were.
The refreshments were very
delicious. the menu consisting of
fruit punch, sliced tomatoes on
lettuce leaves with mayonaise
dressing. gerkin pickles, peas in
patty shells, cheese straws, nut
sandwiches, fried chicken, cof.
fee, raspberry ice. ice cream and
angle food cake.
The occasion was such an one
as will long be held in the most
pleasant memory, and we are
indeed glad to have been there.

PROVED ROADS

Akron, o., June 5-This week the
contract will be signed, selling the
Canton-Akron, the Canton & New Phil
adelphia, the Tuscarawas Co., and the
Canton City electric lines to the
Northern Ohio Traction & Light Co.
The formal transfer of the properties
will be made within a month.
The purchase, which was made by
telephone several weeks ago, includes
all of the Tucker-Anthony Zines be.
tween Akron and Uhrichsville, proper.
ties which will be big money makers
when under the management of the N.
o. T. & l.. people. The deal was made
between Boston and Akron people.
For the present the three lines will
be operated independently but as sooa
as possible will be merged with the
Northern Ohio Traction lines into one
big system.
The first thing the new owners will
do is to build up all the properties
which have become somewhat run
down-so much, in fact that the Tuck
er-Anthony people were very glad to
sell. One of the first moves in the line
of betterments will be improved ser
vice from Akron to Springfield lake
Vice President VIII Christy said
Monday that the line will cater to bus.
mess to and from Springfield lake, and
that. if double tracking is necessary
to care for the business, double track
will be built.
This deal releases the agreement
between the Canton-Akron and the N
o. T. & L. company which called OF
the building of the line to Massillon
by way of Turkeyfoot lake several
years ago. The Northern Ohio people
have much of this right of way graded
and Mr.. Christy admitted that the
construction of the line which will
open up the chain of lakes south OF
Akron is a possibility of the future.

Columbus, o., June 5.--The Joint
scale committee of the Ohio miners

The local matters are to be settled

CLEAN BILL
Of Health Was Given the
New York Central
Officials at Inquiry
Not Like the Pennsy
Conditions.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 5.-Search-
ing inquiry by the interstate COM
merce commissioners into the soft coal
operations of the New York Central
Railroad company here today failed
to develop any of the sensational par
ticipations in the production by traf.
fic officers which the commission found
to exist in the management of the
Pennsylvania company.
While an interest in the ownership
of three coal companies was shown
to exist in the New York Central, no
particular offensiveness was shown in
these relations and the Central off,
GERS each left the stand with a clean
bill of health so far as personal in

cerned.
The New York Central, it developed,
owns 10000 shares OF common and

in the Pennsylvania company.
1t has an arrangement under it's con.
-ract for the delivery of 100000 tons Of

Amendment Comes Up

Washington, June 5.-The present
understanding is that the house will
tomorrow take action upon the agri-
cultural appropriation bill containing
the Beveridge beef inspection amend
ment.
The plan is to now concur in all of
the senate amendments except that re-
lating to the inspections. The Wads-
worth-Lorimer modification will be
substituted for this and the measure
then sent to conference. Represen-
tative Adams, Of Wisconsin, will like
ly head the demand for a more rigid
measure and one that they insist will
more largely follow out the presidents
for inspection. Chair
man Wadsworth asserts with much
confidence that the modification will
prevail both in the. committee and on
the floor, but vigorous fight will
be made against it.

WAS RELEASED
Young Soldier Who Was
Arrested For Not
Obeying Orders Won
His Point i'm the Courts.

Canton, Ohio, June 6. = Attor-
neys AXE and Day yesterday fled
petition for writ of habeas
corpus in the probate court asking
for the release of George Mayer, who
had previously been arrested for re-
fusing to accompany his company 10
suppress the alleged riot now in pro
press at or about Steubenville.
The action was brought against
Chief Robert Patterson; the petition
alleging among other things that the
arrest was unlawful and that Mayer
was wrongfuliy imprisoned, because
Captain Uriah Clay had neglected to
issue a written order for his arrest,
which it is claimed was in violation
of the statute. Officer Smiley, who
made the arrest was sworn and exam
ined and testified he had no warrant
but made the arrest at the request OF
the captain.
Judge Bow, after hearing the tes-
timony and arguments of counsel
found that under the law there was
no warrant or authority for the ar
rest in the first place and accordingly
ordered the release of the prisoner
forthwith.
The statute provides that all sol
diers refusing to obey the orders OF
their captain. may be arrested upon
his written order and held for a per-
iod of five days.

NEW ROUTE
Sandy Valley Interurban
Line Has New Plans
for Alliance and Min

Minerva, O., June 5.-The Sandy
Valley railroad company now pro-
poses a new route from Alliance to
Minerva. In fact the first survey has
been made and stakes driven.
This company first proposed to run
down through Homework and Bay
ard, paralleling the G. G. P. But the
rights of way along this route were
held, very high, so the company
thought, and they decided on the sur
vey of new route.
The proposed route is out Liberty
street. Alliance, to State, then up the
hollow, southwesterly, till they strike
the l.. E. A. G w. south of Mt Union.
The l.. ID. A. G. w. is followed for
short distance, only till the proposed
road reaches a point one-fourth mile
west of the wagon road leading south
from Mt. Union. The proposed inter-
urban line then parellels this road
almost directly south to Minerva. This
route has already been surveyed aud
1t is considered entirely feasible, very
direct, of easy grades and passing
through populous region.
