AVERAGES ARE CORRECT

New York, Dec. 28.-To date no
one has claimed the reward offered
by Secretary Heydler, of the National
Leaugue, for a mistake found in the
National League averages. Heydler
once thought he was due to cough
up $40 on the record of Pitcher IIig-
ginbotham (alias Higgins) of the st.
Louis Cardinals. Some scorers sent
this mans name in as Higginbotham
and others as Higgins. John the Ac-
curate would not have had to worry
except that late in the season a
pitcher named Higgins from the
Three-Eyed League, joined the Car
dinals and Heydler did not know
whether this man had twirled in the
last game of the campaign for them
1t turned out he didn't, Stanley Rob
ison telling Heydler that while Hig-
gins wore Cardinal livery he never
officiated in a game. Wherein the
National league records are wrong
and this is no fault of Heydler's-in
the matter of recording long sacrifice
flies. There was no column in the
official blanks for suicides to the out
field and the scorers often forgot to
ring" them, as requested. Particu-
lar injustice was done to the Brook,
lyn batters.

Invitations
To jackson Day Banquet
Go to All Prominent
Democrats
IN STARK COUNTY

At last nights meeting of the
Young Mems Democratic club. final
preparations for the Jackson day
banquet were completed. So far the
sale of tickets has not exceeded the
expectations, but the prospects for
the disposal of large number are
most encouraging.
Much routine business was dis
posed of during the evening. Vari-
Gus standing committees were heard
from upon their work in promoting
the banquet. The speakers com
mittee reported that they had re-
ceived communications of acceptance
of ex-Gov. Campbell, of Columbus
and from John McSweeney, of Woos-
ter, two of the best speakers in the
state. An invitation has been ex.
tended to John Mcnamara, of
Youngstown, but up to last night they
had received no reply. The cream
of local democracy will be present
at the banquet, many of them to
make addresses. Atlee Pomerene
Judge R. s. Shields and John c.
Welty, will probably make short ad.
dresses. John T. Whitacre will not
be able to attend, it is stated. Elk
Gov. Campbell will speak upon Gen,
eral Jackson" and subjects will be
assigned later to the remainder of
the speakers.
1t is proposed to extend invitations
to prominent democrats throughout
the county, especially in Massillon
and Alliance. The central commit.
teemen in each precinct are all to re-
ceive invitations. The ticket COM
mittee was also authorized to in
vite the cooperation of the Bryan
club.
The attendance at last nights meet
ing was not as large as was desired.
A request to be present at next Mon
day nights meeting is extended
through the News to each member
of the club. A smoker will be given
and there will be cigar for all that
attend. It is proposed to take action
upon the adoption of the constitution
and bylaws of the club, recently pre-
pared by the committee appointed for
that purpose.

KEEP UP FIGHT
For Good Roads is A. L. Young's In
tention--Funds Available and
Cost Of Improvement.

A. L. Young, of East Greenville,
who, although, unsuccessful, made a
splendid run for county commission
er at the recent election, in an inter-
view yesterday announced his in
tention of continuing the fight for
good roads, Notwithstanding the re-
suit of the election. He is prepared
to take up the work of interesting
the public of Stark county in his
proposition by beginning an active
campaign for that purpose at once.
Mr.. Young states that there is
$4,000 in the county treasury avail
able for road Improvement purposes.
There is fully 100000 in the inf1rm-
airy fund from the Dow tax, a por-
tion of which could be appropriated
toward roads. Combined with the
road fund which could be created,
would be the annual appropriation
of $4,000 from the state. Mr.. Young
believes that each of the townships
in the county could be persuaded to
furnish $1,000 a year towards the
Improvement work.
1t is his opinion that the cost of
the construction of an eighteen foot
brick roadway would not exceed
expense considering the benefits to
be derived from such improvement.
Already a great deal of interest
has been created in brick paving of
roads throughout the county. The
residents of the country adjacent to
the New Berlin road have taken the
initiative in the matter, having sub
mitted a petition for such an i'm
provement to the road, to the coun-
ty commissioners some time ago. 1t
is certain that Mr.. Youngs propo-
sition will be well supported by the
country residents throughout the
county.
Mr.. Young is one of the largest
real estate owners in the county and
he has had a wide experience in the
improving of roads as trustee of
the township in which he lives.

CAT Sees CASTOR'S GHOST
IN JAIL CELLAR

Sundays Columbus Press Post says:
That ghost has sure got slow drag
on me-" declared Walter Keplie when
he came up out of the basement of
the county Jail Saturday night all out
of breath and painting like a lizard.
Jailor Reedy Mcdonald tried to find
out what was the matter with the
negro, who is held there as a witness,
bue he was almost white and fainting.
No more for mine,''s declared the
man when Reedy tried to induce him
to go back into the basement and fin
ish up the work in the kitchen, even
the cat saw it, and if a black cat can
see ghost you all don't get this mig
ger down there again"
Keplie then explained that he had
about finished his work and was walk
ing up the corridor of the Jail when
he heard feet tracks" behind him.
He says that he turned and saw a man
behind him and that the man walked
up; and even the cat looked around.
He declared that he had seen the de-
scrtpion of Frank Castor, and that
the man looked like him.
For some time there has been a
story going about the jail among the
prisoners to the effect that Frank Cas-
tor, who killed Dan Davis, the po-
liceman, and who was electrocuted for
it, had declared that he would haunt"
the county Jail ever afterward and the
prisoners, at least the superstitious
ones, think he is doing SO.
Castor was former resident of
Canton.
