EVANS MIGHT BE
NAMED FOR THE
ELECTIONS BOARD

There was no meeting of the Demo-
cratic county executive committee
Saturday afternoon, at which time it
was the intention to attempt to re-
consider the endorsement of Hubert
Pontius for the position of member
of the county board of deputy super
visOrs of elections. The meeting was
attended by six of the seven members
of the organization, Messrs, Munter,
Kaufman, Pontius, Gregory, Witter
and Sibila being present. Mr.. Fier-
stos, the other member of the COIN
mittee, could not be present on ac-
count of death in his family. 1t was
agreed that an adjournment should
take place until July II. When Pom
thus was endorsed he received four of
the seven votes, but his opponents
are of the opinion that some other
person should have received the en-
dorsement. Mr.. Fierstos was his OPP
pOnent. 1t was learned Saturday ev-
ening that the name of Central Com
mitteeman Evans, of New Berlin,
might be presented as a compromise
candidate.

YOUTH
DROWNED SUNDAY
IN SPRINGFIELD LAKE

Daniel Fishel, the 18-year-old son of
Samuel Fishel, of Greentown, was
drowned yesterday afternoon while
bathing in Springfield lake. The youth
who was in with his brother, Samuel,
and a friend, Russell Whitman, got
beyond his depth and sank for the
last time before aid could be extend
ed to him. The body was not found
although a long search was made.
Visitors at the lake yesterday who
saw the drowning say the drowned
boy had been in with his friends when
a row boat they had began to move
away from them. Daniel went after it
and struck one of the deep holes in
the lake and met his death The wa
ter where he went down is said to be
30 feet deep. A number of divers
made an attempts to bring up the
body yesterday but it could not be
located 1t is said the bottom is COW
cred with grass and weeds that make
it impossible to see anything of what
else might be there. Another attempt
will De made to recover the remains.

ASSURED SUCCESS
is RACING MEET

The summer meeting of the Canton
Driving Park association begins Wed.
nesday afternoon and continues all
week The horsemen and their horses
are arriving on almost every train and
there are almost 100 horses at the
track now. The meeting promises to
eclipse anything of it's kind ever held
in this city as the entry list is one
tnird and more larger than 1t ever
was and the horses that are entered
in the events are the best that are
doing the half-mile tracks.
The management of the meet is op-
timistic over the anticipated success
of the affair and have made all prepa-
rations for big time. Summer
meetings in Canton, while they have
been a success have been difficult be
cause it is hard to get the entries so
early in the season. But that has
been overcome this year and there
have been 20 new stalls added to the
stables now at the track for the ac-
commodation of the horses.

EAGLES
From Canton at Zanes-
vile Convention Made
Pronounced Hit
WERE CLOSE SECOND

The GAINESVILLE Times-Recorder in
commenting about the features of the
state convention of the Eagles, says:
The formation of the grand process
sion was practically the same as pub
lished in the past few days. Eleven
bands were in the pageant This
number exceeding the fondest expecta-
tions of the local members. Many of
the bands were crack organizations,
like the G. A. r. band of Canton, the
Columbus Battalion band and the
Great Eastern band of New Philadel-
phia, while all of them were of ex-
cellent character.
The Eagles parade was without
doubt one of the grandest pageants
ever seen in GAINESVILLE. Because of
the prizes offered by the local order,
all of the visiting delegations had
striven to look their best, and the re-
suits were most satisfactory.
While the Cambridge Eagles re-
ceived the first prize for being the best
appearing delegation in the process
sion, they were hustled for first place
by Canton The uniforms were of an
entirely different character. The
Guernsey county contingent were
dressed in white duck suits with red
caps, while the Cantonians wore blue
serge suits, natty straw hats and car
ried canes.
The many effects along these lines
were pretty in the extreme and spec
tators passed many favorable COM
ments upon all delegations, especially
the local Eagles. half Of whom wore
khaki trousers and tan caps with
shirts to match.
For about an hour after supper the
G. A. R. band of Canton, justly famous
throughout the country and also popu-
lar because Of its association with the
late President Mckinley, played popu-
lar and classical airs. The band is the
largest of any of those which attended
the Eagle convention, and the stirring
melodies. played brought forth many
plandits.
The committee appointed to grant
the prizes decided that Cambridge
should be given two awards, 800 first
prize for the largest number of men
in the parade, and S95, first prize, for
showing the best appearance. Colum-
bus was awarded the second prize for
the next largest delegation, the award
being $25. Newark Eagles were given
the prize of $35 for the largest repre-
sentation of membership, and Della
ware Eagles won the prize of $35 for
the most unique outfits.
The tallest Eagle in the parade was
F. R. Jackson, of Woodsfeld, who
measured six feet six and a quarter
inches, for which he received $7S3
c. NJ. Davis, of Kent, was the heaviest,
Weighing 3631a pounds. He secured
$1,000. B. NJ. Drewett, of Canton, re-
ceived two prizes, $3.50 for being the
shortest Eagle, and 78 cents for being
the lightweight.
