Talk with JOHN B! KENT & co. ABOUT INSURANCE.
The Unsel1Rsh Day.

The Christmas season is here
as evidenced by the Christmas sto-
ries and Christmas talks. Ernest
Crosby writes on Christmas as the
one unselfish day. He says:
''Colder days; days rapidly
shortening; less and less sun.
summer and warmth and lite seem
TO be ebblng away forever. Sup
pose 1t should never stop, and day
finally disappear in everlasting
n1ght! So the first man in his first
year might have thought. Up to
the 2lst of December there is no
sign of relief. Every day has been
shorter than the previous; but on
the 22d there is a difference. The
almanac tells us that we shall now
have three days of equal length.
perhaps, after all, the sun will go
no farther away. That Is now the
best we can hope for. But the
evening of the oath comes, and,
joy to mankind! the day is longer
longer! The tide of darkness
has turned! We are not to he
swept away by 1t. The sun is com
ing back! We can stand the frosts
of winter cheerfully now, for we
know that summer will rise from
the dead. Christmas Is the prom
lse of Easter waited back across the
| SHOWS.
"ryranny harsher and harsher-
the iron bands of coercion spread
ing and cruahing--poverty and
misery increasing. What if this is
| all that men were born for, and
freedom and hope and gladness are
to be swallowed up IN oppression!
So those who witnessed the growth
IN strength and cruelty Of the Ro-
man Empire must have thought.
But Christmas comes, with its glo.
r'ous prophecy the divinest bit of
humanity born to the carpenters
wife, so poor that her lodgment
was a stable and the child's cradle
a mangcr. The humblest, lowliest,
feeblest of human beings charged
with the message of Gods King
dom of Brotherhood! All, another
black tide has turned! The dark
spots will not have it their own
way forever. The downtrodden
slave is joint heir with them of all
the happlness of earth and heaven
We shall never lose heart again,
for Christmas Is the earnest of true
Democracy, which some day will
bring peace and good will to men.
;.'Bnt each>ot US must help the
good time forward, and Christmas
tells US how. Christmas is Giving.
Day. All life is give and take,
and for most of us the other days
are taking davs-that Is on them
we think most of what we get, and
measure our happiness by lt-and
what we are Obliged to give we re-
gard as misfortune; but on Christ
mas we rejoice in giving. We
think of other peoples wants and
not our own. and We find the great
est content in satisfying them
That Is the brotherhood spirit
that is the source of all peace and
goodwlll-that is the sun which
must rise out Of the valley of dark
ness and drive away the shadows;
that is the tide which will at last
reach the hlghwater mark of hu-
man happiness, and make liberty,
equality and fraternity real. Let
US fill ourselves with the christian
spirit and carry it with us through
out the busy year.

WELTER-WE|GHTS
FIGHT TO A DRAW

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 30.-Joe
Walcott and Billy Rhodes fought 20
rounds to draw today in what was
advertised as a fight for the welter-
weight championship. The battle took
place on an island in the Missouri
river ten miles from Kansas City,
where the authorities of neither Kan
sas nor Missouri had jurisdiction. Fff-
teen hundred people were present. 1t
was the cleanest and best exhibition
of pugilism fightgoers have ever wit
messed in this vicinity. From the tap
of the gong until the final inning it was
almost an even break. Both men were
in good condition, That the Kansas
City fighter was given an even break
in the decision was due to his clever
ness in blocking and clever covering
up tactics. Throughout Walcott made
desperate efforts to send home a "hay-
maker" but Rhodes invariably ducked
out of harms way or closed in a
clinch.
In inf1ghting the Kansas had the
best of it. Rhodes did his most ef-
fective fighting in the eighteenth
round. When the gong sent the men
to their corners at the end of that
round Walcott was to the bad from
a severe drubbing on the head and
wind, received at close range. The
negro evened things in the following
round, however, by giving Rhodes a
dose of similar treatment. There was
not knockdown during the entire
twenty rounds. Rhodes weighed in at
lat pounds, and Walcott at 144.

THE RAILROADS
Derelict in Observing the Safety Ap-
pliance .Law-Charge Filed Against
Nearly All Standard Lines.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Just at the
moment when the railroads of the
country had been flattering themselves
on the excellent manner in which they
had been observing the safety appli-
ance law, the interstate commerce
commission through the department OF
justice has cast bomb into their
ranks.
Attorney General Moody today
made the announcement that he has
directed suits to be brought against
large number Of railroad companies
to recover penalties for violations of
safety appliance law, through failure
to keep their equipment in proper
condition. There are 81 complaints
against the Delaware and Hudson
company, which leads the list. The
interstate commerce commission re-
Gently announced that over 80 per
cent Of the railroads had adopted safe
ty appliances. 1t had been the general
impression that the law was being
observed to gratifying extent, but
such was not the case. The total num-
Der OF violations Is 181.

HOW 1T LOOKS IN ALLIANCE.

Editor News While there is not
much wrangling over the Republican
congressional campaign here, yet this
can be counted on as a Speaker strong
hold and the claim is made that he
will carry every ward and precinct in
the city by big majority. Republi-
cans here outside of the Clark Whit
ing-Morgan combination are opposed
to machine politics and especially the
barter and sale kind, whether the cash
is turned over or whether the consid-
GRAFTON is promises of future posi-
tions. Money and promises may do
some things, but it will not buy votes
in this city, at least not enough so
you can notice it. The Kennedy-Grant
deal has disgusted all Republicans
here who place honor and conscience
above pelf or federal jobs and all
classes of our citizens-manufactu
ers, merchants, ministers, skilled me-
chanics, railroad men and laborers
will rally next Saturday around the
banner of decency and morality and
| cast their votes for Charles S. Speak
er If Canton and Massillon will do
one-half of what Alliance can show,
purchaseable machine politics will be
forever buried in Stark county.
Yours for deCency and good citizen

Trustee.

Chicago Sept. 30.-"Every woman
wage worker should have enough
money to buy tailor-made suits, an oc-
casional matinee ticket, Easter bon
nets and to have comfortable home
life."

of a woman among it's nominees. Miss
Nicholes announced her political creed

strictly applicable to the position for
which she is candidate. If elected,
however, she says she will make 1t
her business as an Office holder to do
her best to put her program into eff
feet. She Is secretary of the Illinois

WASN'T MARRIED

Chicago, Sept 30.-A will is to be
filed for probate in the Cook county
probate court tomorrow in which Rog-
er Mccormack, a janitor and watch
man in an office building at Franklin
and Adams streets, leaves to his rel
atives a fortune of $4,000. McCor-
mack came to Chicago from Ireland
penniless twenty-six years ago. He
worked as foreman for Armour &
Co. for ten years. When his duties
became too heavy for so old a man,
he found the position in which he died
last week. Fl never drew a salary of
more than $50 monthly, but never
lived penuriously. He was bachelor
and always secretive concerning his
private affairs, so that his relatives
had no idea that he had more than a
few hundred dollars saved.

FIRST PRODUCTION
Of the Winter Series of Plays by ST.
Peters Dramatic CIub-Good
Performance.

The first production of the seasons
series of plays to be given by the St
Peters Dramatic club was put on at
St. Cecilia hall Sunday evening with
a record breaking attendance. The IT,
tie of the piece is "a Noble Outcast,"
a southern drama in four acts. Under
the direction of Rev. Ziehoif the char
acters took their parts in a manner
that would do credit to many social
ed professionals and coupled with the
beautiful scenery and stage effects
made it by far the best they have ever
produced. The piece is by no means
light production and has been played
on the road by professional companies
for years.
In the audience were several men,
bers of the "Plff, Paff, Pouf'' company,
one of whom formerly was in a cast
that played "A Noble Outcast," and
who spoke in a highly complimentary
manner Of their endeavors.
This club was organized five years
ago and is composed of the best am
ateur talent in the city, several of
whom, by long practice, have shown
possibilities for professional work.
AS is their custom, the play will
be put on again this evening and an
other large attendance is expected.
The proceeds go to the st. Peters
church and over $500 has been made
since their organization.

NO e FOR HIM
Alliance Board Of Public Service Asks
For Water Works Superintendent
to Skidoo, But He Refuses
to Take the Can.

Special to Morning News
Alliance, o., Sept. 30.-The result Of
the service board meeting to be held
Monday forenoon will be watched with
interest by the citizens of Alliance as
at that time is to come up the question
of ousting Superintendent John Bra
cher of the city water works. At Fri
days meeting of the board, two Of
the three members voted in favor OF
a resolution asking Mr.. Bacher to re-
sign. The superintendent however,
will not comply with the demad,
claiming that the board cannot re-
move him without cause as his office
comes under the civil service system.
No charges of any Kind have been
filed against Mr.. Bracher. He has TAX
en- counsel with good legal talent and
will fight the case to finish.
The question of passing upon the
bids recently received for two new
boilers for the water works plant will
also come up for action at the meet
ings. 1t will be remembered that
when other bids were received some
time ago and the board by vote OF
two to one decided to award the con-
tract to the Wickes Boiler company
although it was claimed that the bic
of the Sterling Boiler company was
lower, an injunction was taken ou'
to stop the board from awarding the
contract to the Wickes people. At the
last bidding, the Sterling company die
not file bid, it being said the speciti'
cations were such that this company
could not enter their makes of boiler

PENSION LIST
Increased Many Thousands Last Year
Although There Were 29,2o8
Deaths of Civil War
Veterans.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-At the end
of the governments fiscal year, June
30, there were 9S5,971 pensioners on
the rolls. This was a decrease of 12,.
470 from the previous year, the great
est decrease for any one year in the
history of the bureau, the commission
er of pensions announces, in his an
nual report, just made public. The
number of pensioners now on the rolls
is the smallest since 1897. There
were added during the year 34,974
persons, over 10000 of these being
new ones. The annual value of the
roll is S136,237,749. This is nearly
as large as 1t was last year. In corn,
menting upon this the commissioner
says
"This arises from the fact that the
ratings of many invalid pensions are
constantly increasing, and therefore
the annual values of such pensions is
greater than the year previous. The
annual value of civil war pensions is
steadily increasing while slight de-
crease is shown in pensions based
upon the war with Spain and the reg
ular establishment"
OF the 47,444 pensioners dropped
from the rolls last year, over $4,000
were from death, 29,20S survivors of
the civil war were in this big death
roll. There are now 666,453 civil war
pensioners.

LARGE INCREASE
In the Enrolment of Students at the
High School.

The number of students at the High
school continues to increase. Last
week a number of the members of last
years graduating class enrolled, some
because they needed another year of
some subject in order to enter the col
lege of their selection, and others be-
cause they had nothing better to do.
Some of these students were disap-
pointed when they heard of new
rule at the school which says that
no postgraduate may represent the
school on the football team.
