WET MOB ATTEMPTS TO
BREAK UP DRY MEETING

Millersburg, o., Oct. 19.-The local
option election in Coshocton county
has become SO bitter that 1t is breed
ing wet" mobs. Rev. w. p. Killing
of the Lutheran church here. spoke
at. New Bedford on Saturday night
and mob attempted to break up the
meeting, but they mistook their man
as he is a Texan and refused to be
mobbed and defied them and went on
with his speech for an hour. The
outlaws stole the harness from their
horses and they were compelled to
borrow harness. Charles Edwards, of
the Millersburg Republican, was with
Mr.. Killing. They were plotted out
of town by friends and given arms to
defend themselves. They were ston-
ed, dubbed and egged for mile or
more out by parties hidden by the
roadside, The excitement over there
is great and further trouble is looked
for that may be serious. The election
will take place on October %.

charged with robbing the cigar stand

Agricultural College TO the Fror

Agricultural College TO the Front.
Columbus, Oct. 19.-Ohio is fast
coming to the front in her apprecia-
ton of special education along agri-
cultural lines. Strong evidence of
this is shown in the remarkable in
crease this fall in the enrolment Of
students in the College of Agricul-
ture, located in this city. A compar-
ison of the number of new students
this year with that OF last year shows
an increase of over 100 per cent; the
freshmen this year numbering 120 as
compared with about half that number
last year The College of Agriculture
leads all other colleges making up the
State University in its registration
increase; the rate of increase for the
entire student body In this college as
compared with last year is over thirty
per cent.
Considering Ohio's rank as an ag-
ricultural state there should be at
least q thousand students enrolled in
its College Of Agriculture, since 1t
offers such splendid opportunities for
practical agricultural training. Pres
ent interest shows that the boys Of
the farm are beginning to appreciate
the opportunities In scientific aericuI-
tEre and II seems that within reason
able time the Agricultural College will
lead In numbers At the State Univer-
sity.

Upon Infirnary Plans
Made Without Author
ity Of Law
SAY The EXAMINERS

u. s. Johnson, of Canton, and w. S.
Lindesmith, of Alliance, appointed by
the common pleas court to examine
the annual report of the county COM
missioners in conjunction with Pros
ecutor Upham, filed their report Mon
day. Commenting on the expendi-
lures on the infirmary buildings the
examiners say:
"We find IN this item that the orig
inal bids upon the first advertisement
for bids were rejected because they
were above the architects estimate,
and we find that the bids would have
been within the estimate If the spec
price of $85 for white enamel brick,
rather than upon the erroneous price
of $40 as shown upon TIE specifica-
tions This is manifest error, but
in no way do W find that any official
or party to the contract could have
benefited improperly.
'The same error appears further
along after the second advertisement
for bids was asked upon the new es-
innate, and possibly is the real cause
of much Of the apparent confusion
and subsequent expense as shown by
the record. In our verbal examina-
ton of the architect and commission
ers we found them exceedingly frank
and willing to give us all the informa-
ton in their power covering the work.
- A1aN
and betterments upon the inflrmary
plans and specifications were made
and paid without authority of law,
and we recommend to the commits
sioners tbat~more care be exercised
by them in such matters. Under the
circumstances. however. and after
what has been a reasonably exhaus-
tive investigation of all the facts and
results relating to the infirmary
buildings, we do not hesitate TO re-
port that in our belief the commits
sioners have acted as they thought
would be best for the county; that
they did what men ordinarily do un-
der the same circumstances. The f.
nal results show that the buildings of
the infirmary represent in dollars all
that they have COST
The examiners ask that the COM
missioners establish closer relations
with the prosecuting attorney, their
legal adviser. 1t is recommended that
they seek legal aid in public ques-
tions. I'VE cannot expect perfection
in every public act,' the report reads,
but we can ask for reasonable and
careful observance of legal require
ments when public money is to- be
expended. There has not been any
act indicating dishonest or corrupt in-,
tentions or results, yet we must COM
mend to the commissioners a closer
observance of the law. IL for no other
reason than to intercept criticism from
those citizens who have right and
are inclined to criticlse, even though
the act complained Of be clearly for
the benefit of the entire people of
Stark county. Honest intention upon
the part of the officials In conjunc-
ton with the observance of statutory
requirements are both demanded by
our people"
