Union Men Consider
Cassidy Concern
Inimical.

That the building trades pulled" the

company refused TO take from the Cas-

We had complied with all the de-
mands Of organized labor. and thought
everything was progressing smoothly.
Tuesday a committee called on us, and
demanded that we take from the Cas-

to them. We explained that We could
not do this, as the matter was one gov
erned by a formal lease, and the Cas-
sidy company was obliged to use II so
Tar as we were concerned. until the
lease expired.

It was also stated in the NIiller-Kopp
OFFICES that the firm can supply the

| NOT INSANE
In Estimation of One Marion
Lady
SHOULD Be REWARDED
For Attempting to Wreck
One of the City Cars
Says Only Sane Person Woul
Have Brains Enough to Perform
Such a heroic Act.
SHOULD Be REWARDED

Mayor Scherft this morning receiv-
ed an unsigned letter relative to the
excellent street car service during the
rain storm of yesterday. The letter
followsa
Marion, June II, 1906.
MAYOR SCHERFF:
Dear Sir:-I, for one, think that
Peter Fitzgerald, who is being held
on the charge of insanity should not
only be released but should be given
a handsome reward for trying to
wreck one of the city street cars.
No one but a sane person would
have brains enough to do such a
heroic act. 1t is a pity that he was
not out this evening so that he
could have wrecked not only one but
Jail of them. By doing so he would
have prevented many persons from
being half drowned.
Yours truly
"A person who is writing from her
experience on a north bound car dur
ing the storm last night"
During the storm persons in the
open cars were drenched and those
who rode in the cars during the re-
mainder of the evening were Obliged
to stand up on the seats to keep out
of the wet.
A complaint was made to one OF
the company officials concerning the
open cars. The official curtly replied
that the company could not be ex-
pected to run summer cars during the
nice weather and then at the minute
the weather changed to hustle out the
closed dars.
The public would not complain of
the open cars in stormy weather II
a few curtains were provided. Not
one of the open cars has more than
one or two curtains and even those
will not work. The Sentiment ex-
pressed by the woman in her letter
is general one.

INTEREST NOW RENEWED
Dayton Cash Register Company
May be Induced to Locate Plant
in This City.

Renewed interest In the efforts to
secure the proposed state hospital for
crippled and def )rmSd children for
Marion county has been aroused by
action taken by Carl A. Albrecht, a
former Marion 10y who now makes
his home in Cincinnati. Mr.. Albrecht
has written Governor Harris, appris-
ing him of the excellent railway fac
llities and other advantages to be
found in Marion, and asking that
this place be considered among the
desirable places for locating the in
stitution.
Last Wednesday the governor Wis
tied sites for he proposed hospital
located near GAINESVILLE and Newark.
Mr.. Albrecht, in his letter 10 the
governor, furnishes facts to show that
Marion would be a more suitable
place for locating the hospital than
either of these places.
In his letter to the governor, Mr..
Albrecht points out the fact that it
was through DR.. G. e. Sawyer OF
Marion that the movement for est
tablishing an institution for the care
of crippled and deformed children
was launched. He recalls the fact
that DR.. Sawyer was not given proper
recognition for his part in starting
the movement, not even being named
a member of the commission appoint
ed TO select a site.
Mr.. Albrecht has written the Com
mercial club. enclosing a copy Of the
letter which he sent TO the governor.
In his letter TO the Commercial club,
he states that he recently attended
state meeting OF the United CONNER
cial Travellers, held at Dayton, and
that while there he learned that it
has been definitely decided TO move
the cash register factory from Day
ton TO Buffalo. The trouble, he
writes, resulted from Dayton city
council refusing tc allow side
track built a distance OF about a
mile and half from the Pennsylvan-
la railway. '1Mr. Albrecht suggests the
club communicate with
the president of the cash register com
pany setting forth the advantages of
Marion as railway center He thinks
that the company would favorably
consider Marion as a suitable place
for locating the plant,
1t is likely that the club will take
Mr.. Albrecht's advice in regard to the
cash register company and that
more agressiveness will be displayed
toward having the proposed stat
hospital located here.

,Railroao Votes

From all OF the railroads comes the
report that travel to the jamestown
exposition has been exceedingly light.
Scarcely a half dozen tickets have
been sold from the local depot and
the prospects for an increased sale
are not very bright.
A few of the railroad companies
are not pushing the sale of James
town excursion tickets at this time
but instead are discouragNng those
who are making arrangements to go
within the next few weeks.
The Ohio Central railroad has Is
sued a bulletin ordering the discon-
tinuance of jamestown excursion tick
cts until after June 80. In this bulle-
tin the official states, our reason for
doing this is that the exposition is
In woeful state of incompletion and
those who attend at this time come
away with a poor opinion of the
big fair. In my opinion II will not
be ready for visitors or rather should
not be opened TO visitors until af-
ter July l."
The officials fear that the discour-
aging reports brought back by the
few who attend the fair at this
time will have a welghty influence
on those who intended to go later
The excursion service from st. Louis
and other western points has also
been called off until July 1.
