President Roosevelt made some SHARP
comments upon one bill he signed yesterday
afternoon. 1t was the bill to permit the
government an appeal to the United States
supreme Court in certain criminal cases.
This is what the President Endorsed upon
the bill signed by him:
I'm accordance with the recommendation
OF the Attorney General approve this bill.
Nevertheless, as the Attorney General
points out, while the bill represents a de-
cided Improvement on the present law. II
comes lamentably short of accomplishing
what should be accomplished. II will not
prevent frequent failures of justice, partic-
ularly in the cases of accused persons of
wealth and influence. / sign II because II
does represent a certain advance. and In
the hope that subsequent legislation will be
obtained which will more nearly meet the
demands of even-handed justice In criminal
cases.

A VERY BAD RUNAWAY
Pedestrians Compelled to Climb
For Place of Safety.

Pedestrians were scattered right
and left Tuesday night about $50
O'Clock on First street, by the mad
plunging OF farm team belonging to
one Hilderman, who lives some dis
lance southeast of the city. The
team was hitched opposite Rowland's
store and in some manner they be-
came frightened, broke the strap with
which they were tied, and started
down First street. When they
reached the Wood County National
Bank corner, one of the horses turned
to cross the bridge while the other
pulled in the opposite direction.
Suddenly they wheeled and cut across
the corner in front of the Kruger &
Warmers store, in the direction of
III. HI. Voss' rig which was tied to a
post at the side of the store. When
they reached this place they made a
Jump 10 an effort TO clear the said
horse, but instead landed directly on
top of it. The three horses were pill ed
up in heap and 1t was difficult
matter to distinguish which harness
belonged to either horse. Mr.. VosS
pony wriggled out under the team and
when they started to rise, one of the
latter tumbled over on it's back. The
remarkable thing of the whole affair
was that neither of the borses seemed
any way injured as result of the
mixup.
The rig drawn by the farm team, a
light lumber wagon, lost three wheels
in the smash up and Mr.. Voss' light
rig was very badly damaged also.
The post to which the latter was tied
was cut off slick and clean near the
ground, and a two inch dent in near
by telephone pole showed where the
hub of the farm wagon struck it.

'AA''' COHEN BROS.
A $50, 900 Cooperative Company
Now Being F0rmed..New De.
partments Will be Added.

Another new departure is to be
made in the near future, by the
Cohen Bros. of this city. Their in
tention is to incorporate their depart
ment store on First street as CO.
operative store, and place a large
block of the stock on the market in
shares of $50 each.
They purpose to sell these shares of
stocks to their customers thus max
ing them sharers in the profits of the
store. The shares will be limited, no
one person being allowed to subscribe
for more than ten shares of the stock.
The new corporation will be capita
lized at $4,000.
In an interview with Manager j.
A. Cohen recently he stated that
it was the purpose of the new
company to enlarge the present store
by adding several new departments.
The object was to interest not only
the old customers, but also to induce
new customers to become owners and
patrons of the establishment, and it
was his opinion that this could best
be accomplished by giving them an
opportunity to become part owners
in the store. In this manner they
would not only be enabled to but at
as reasonable a price as they could in
any establishment in the city, but
that they would also benefit in the
profits of the company.
1t is understood that several
changes willi be made in the present
store building and that the depart
ments will all be brought .up-to-date.
Mr.. Cohen will continue to manage
the store as heretofore.
The articles of incorporation are
now in course of preparation and it is
expected that they will soon be ready
for the contemplated changes.

SHERIFF WEIGH
MAKES BIG HAUL
Man Wanted in Germany for the
Murder OF a Wealthy Mill Own
er Arr eSted in this CITY.

Sheriff Julian T. WEIGH. of this city,
has made what is expected to prove a
big capture The arrest of the much
sought after man was made about ten
days ago and pending the time of the
arrival of the officers from Chicago he
was left prisoner in the county Jail
in this city.
The mans name is Robert Engel-
man, and he was arrested by Sheriff
WEIGH on complaining of DR.. Walter
Viewer, of Chicago, consul for the
Imperial German Government.
Engelman is accused of the murder of
a mill owner at Plag witt, Prussia, in
June 1905. Immediately after his ar
rival in Chicago he YVES taken before
United States Commissioner Foote
and given an examination. He was
bound over.
Engelman. who is believed to be
Sternickel, is charged, together with
an accomplice, with having murdered
a mill owner named Knappe at Plag-
WITT. Prussia, June 9, 1905, and with
having burned the mill to cover up
the crime.
When told of the charge against
him, Engelman protested that the
wrong man had been arrested. He
said he left Stargard in 1881, and has
been in the United States ever since.
At the time the murder is said to have
been committed, Engelman claims to
have been working for lumber COM
pany in Stratford. He told the repre-
sentativeS of the German government
thatahe did not wish an attorney to
defend him, provided they would in
veStigate his record. He gave the
names OF many persons at Stratford
and at Hammond, Ind, where he said
he was known and the alibi he claims
will be investigated.
