Massillon, O., April 15.-The injunc-

against the Massillon Light, Heat &
Power Co. has proven of little value,
for last night 80 men, such as pole
climbers, wiremen, etc., came to this
city and at midnight were driven to
the places where the company was
restricted from putting up it's poles.
They began work at once and when
morning came it was found that they
had erected 27 of the company's
poles. They met with but, little re
sistance, and one farmer who tried
to drive them off of his farm with a
shotgun was sent home in a happy
mood, the workmen having set him
up to some whiskey which they had,
and he got drunk, SO the resistance
on his part was stopped.
The men left again tonight to place
more poles in position but it is going
to be a different story tomorrow
morning as the farmers have organ,
lied and armed themselves to meet
them, and trouble is feared before
morning.
The workmen have maintained a
great deal Of secrecy about what they
are doing and it was only after a
great deal of trouble that it was
found out what they were wording at.

Pensacola Has Much
To Be Thankful For.

On this day OF general thanksgiving.
when the entire country is giving
praise to the Most High for the many

In viewing the peonage prosecu-

crimes that are alleged to have been
committed" said a well-known citizen
yesterday, people must have lost
sight of the fact that the Jackson

Our entire country should know
this and il should be spread broad
cast for the reason that | believe it
is just that it should be known that
the Southern people are not always at
fault. fear the South has already
received a bad reputation from these
prosecutions and it is very likely the
impression has gone out that the
South is altogether responsible for
such state of affairs as are alleged
to have existed. If such ideas are
prevalent. it is because the lumber
mills are located in the South. and
the minds OF the people should be
set right on the matter.

credit to cities far more populous
than Pensacola.
| The terrific tropical storm which
wrought such devastation along the
gulf coast during the latter portion
of September was much more severe
at other places than it was at Pen
sacola and, while the damage to prop
erty was great in this vicinity, the
greater portion of the loss fell upon
! those who were best able to bear it
and, although a number of lives were
lost. the fatalities at other places were
much greater than here.
Pensacola's magnificent system of
storm and sanitary sewers will be
, completed ere another year rolls
around, and when the work is finished
the city will be better than ever pre-
pared to ward off and, If necessary,
fight contagion of every description.
A magnificent city hall will grace the
east side of the Plaza and paved
streets will soon be reality. Then
Pensacola will strike up a double
quick in the march of progress that
will eventually carry her to the goal
which all loyal citizens desire to gain
the leading city of the gulf coast,
if not of the south.
The future possibilities of Pensaco-
la are unlimited and, with the advent
of more railroads, which will undoubt-
eddy be constructed within the course
of few years, the magnificent har-
bor-the finest on the southern sea-
coast-will attract the commerce of
the world; the flag of prosperity will
be at the mast head and all Pensacola
will rejoice.

Eating Fat.

Darwin relates tina, the GauchOs of
the American pampas live for months
on the fat meat of the oxen they watch
over. The Eskimos can get along very
well by eating from five pounds to six
pounds q day of reindeer or seals flesh
so long as it is not too lean, but con-
tains a due proportion Of fat. Says the
author Of Diet and Dietetics:" Some
men obliged to live n very fatiguing
life, the trappers and hunters OF the
pampas Of America and Siberian
:teppes. the inhabitants OF very cold
climates. the fishermen living on the
banks or the frozen sea, can eat al
most exclusively without suffering
from II enormous quantities Of meat or
fish, but on two conditions - that the
meat be accompanied by its fat and
that the individual subjected to this
diet lead very active life in the open
air"

of the coat of steel the soft. low We

carried. The panoply of Charles Bran

The rider sat in saddle, the front
of which was a steel shield ten inches
high, covering the stomach and thighs
