Elizabeth Brown.

Canton, O.-Following the testimony
Of Is witnesses, Albert Lukens, charg-
ed with the murder of his sweetheart,
Elizabeth Brown, on the night of jan
uary 6. with a hammer. was bound
over to the grand jury without bail by
Mayor Turnbull.
Four of the states witnesses-MabeI
Harris, Lucy Harrington, Minnie Irwin
and Hazel MaTtin-who testified that
they saw Lukens with Miss Brown at

timony of Detective Brisbin. The
court ruled in favor of the prosecutor.
Kapp held that Brisbin was a hostile
witness.

Young men who are residents of
country districts should be impressed
with the fact that there are chances
for every one to get along in the
wC2ld If endowed with good quality
Of brain matter and the desire and
the ability to work, and work rightly
and industriously.
For the young man starting out in
life there are many pitfalls; not the
ones in the category of bad habits
and dissipation, but in the business
world. The catchy advertisement in
the want columns of the daily press or
In the farm journal, "$10 to $40 a day."
attracts the attention of many of the
young men who know little about the
devious methods of the sharks to catch
dollars from the pockets of the pro
ducers." Many of these concerns aim
to sell to the agent lot of goods that
are almost wholly worthless, and let
him fight 1t out the best way possible
Then again, there are legitimate con.
Germs that employ men to sell to the
trade, but they never hold out prom.
ises Of such great profits.
It is well to steer clear of gratis
that are intended to take dollars from
your pocket under the pretense Of CIV
ing you employment If you fell that
you could make a success as a sales
man, there are legitimate houses in
your nearest city that may afford you
an opportunity. But don't think that
you can demand the salary of a bank
president from the start. You will get
What you are worth, and no more.
The more you can make your services
Of value to your employers, the more
pay you will receive. Good men are
always in demand. Chances for ad-
vancement were never better, but the
field is narrowing year by year, owing
to change in commercial methods, and
concentration in almost every line.
If you would succeed in commercial
life, get the idea out Of your head
that getting to the front is snap,
and the path fiowery one. Work is
necessary If you find an honored place
among the winners.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST TAX BILL.
Traction and Railroad Men Oppose
Proposed Change in Franchise
Law.

Columbus, O.-The changed condi-
tons in the financial affairs of the
country and an appeal to do nothing
that would cripple one of the growing
forces in the development of Ohio
were argued at the meeting of the
Senate Committee on Taxation in the
discussion of the Howe franchise tax
bill
Walter Richie, representing the
Lima traction interests, spoke in be-
half of the interurban roads of Ohio,
declaring that to enact the Howe bill
with its added burdens upon that class
of property would be to strike a death
blow to the interurban properties now
in operation throughout Ohio, or con-
templated.
Mr.. Ritcbie argued that the proper
thing to do on the question of taxation
would be to suspend action until the
Assembly has acted on the report of
the Tax Commission, that if accepted
by the Assembly meant the recasting
of the whole fabric of taxation in Ohio.

COMMITTEE WANTS MONEY.
Board Suggests New Body Be Named
to Conclude Drake Inquiry

Columbus. O.-The report of the
Drake committee was filed in the SEN
ate. In conclusion the report says:
I'VE beg to say that the work done
by your committee as indicated in this
report amply justified the action of the
senate in appointing a committee to
investigate the affairs in Hamilton
county.
"In view of the many important
subjects which were not investigated
by reason of the invalidating of the
committee we are constrained to rec
cmmend the appointment OF a new
committee to conform to the decision
of our supreme court, said committee
TO be charged with responsibility TO
continue. the investigation as original
ly contemplated and to enlarge the
same as may be justified by develop
ments.
The committee in furtherance of its
work has incurred obligations amount.
ing to about S3.7O0, an itemized state
ment of which is filed herewith.
'In order to satisfy pressing claims
the members of the committee gave
their personal note for $4,000, which is
still outstanding unpaid.
1T is recommended that these obli.
cations be met by the general assem-
bly, IS soon as possible"

Editor Realizes Situation.

1t has come to time when the
business man must take note of the
mail order concerns. They are con-
tinually growing larger and taking
more trade out of the smaller towns.
OF course we all know that it is not
right for Williamsburg people to send
tleir money to Chicago or New York
or other places for their groceries,
dry goods, ETC., when we have people.
neighbors and friends selling the
same goods right at home. The local
merchant has no one to blame but
himself for the condition which now
exists. This may be little hard, but
1t is true. Many of the local mer-
chants do not let their old customers,
and prospective new ones, know of
the articles they keep by advertising
them. The mail order houses are the
largest and most successful advertis-
ers in the world, and without adver-
tising they could do no business. Now.
if they can afford to spend hundreds
of thousands Of dollars year to keep
their old customers informed and to get
new ones, the local merchant could put
a big "skink" in the mailorder business
by adopting the same method on
smaller scale.-Wilkinsburg (Pa.)
