CASE PUZZLES MAYOR

Estine Crabtree Fort, who was unit
ed in marriage to Andrew Fort by
Mayor Turnbull about two months ago
after both herself and her lover were
in the city prison on account of a
lovers quarrel, is again back in the
same cell on more serious charge and
her case is a pitiful one When Fort
was locked in the city prison for
threatening to shoot his sweetheart
he lost his employment at the wire
worked. Having nothing to depend
upon for a living he commenced to
break open freight cars and steal
wearing apparel and things to eat. He
is now in Jail awaiting a hearing on
this charge. His young wife, who
had been without a home for some
time and never had the proper guild
ance of mother, induced another
young man named Girt to assist her
husband in his thefts and after they
had brought their stolen goods to her
she assisted in disposing of them.
This poor girl wife was a mother at
the age of fifteen years and was twice
married since that time, being less
than eighteen years old at the pres
ent time. She is soon to become a
mother once more and the mayor
says that it would not be right to
send her to Jail, but what to do with
her puzzles him. When the police
learned that she was stopping at
place which did not have the best of
a reputation they brought her in
again.

PROPER TREATMENT
PREVENTS BLINDNESS

Akron, Nov. 27.-"There is no ne
cessity of children going blind unless
they meet with an accident. Blind
ness could be prevented in nearly eV-
cry case, if the child is given proper
treatment at the time of it's birth"
This assertion was made by a local
specialist, who has been appointed by
the Ohio commission Ior the blind to
investigate the most urgent cases in
Summit county.
This same expert says that doctors
are often responsible for the blindness
among children. "If the attending
physician would properly care for the
eyes of the child and instill drop of
2 per cent solution of nitrate of sill
yer, blindness would be almost totally
prevented.
Parents should not allow sentI-
ment to interfere with the physicians
duty In this respect"
The Ohio commission has found by
recent investigation that in the hos
pitals in which the treatment is used
blindness has greatly decreased. The
commission may bring a bill before
the legislature making it compulsory
to observe this treatment at birth.

ability to be there. was observed by
Buckeye lodge, knights of Pythias,
FRIDAY night and the lodge room was
well filled. This meeting had a ten
dency to call out some of the older
members and as their names were
called many made short talks. One or
two claimed the Oldest membership of
the order, but this honor undoubtedly
fell to Jacob w. Smith, who said that
he was a member of the lodge since
the year 1869, the year in which it was
instituted and was still we'll and
hearty and ready to answer to the roll
call. Some members were present Fri
day night that had not been in the
lodge room for many years and cards
OF response came from absent mem
bers residing in almost every state
in the union. Some of those present,
who have travelled the country over,
told of the many advantages that they
had enjoyed because of being mem
Ders of the order, while others spoke
OF the more serious side thinking
how many Of those present would be
alive to answer the call next year.
David A. Cochran recited a beautiful
little poem, which set the members I,
thinking and the remarks of many 9th
ors were very interesting This lodge
has a membership of over 25O, and
1t was estimated that fully 200 re-
sponded in person or by card. After
the roll call was at end a nice lunch,
consisting of raw oysters, sandwiches,
hot coffee and the like was served and
then the cigars were passed. After
the lunch many of those present played
cards, while other spent the time in
playing billiards and pool and indulg-
ed in conversation with the different
brethren. 1t was a very successful
meeting throughout. 1t was announc-
ed that the lodge would have consid-
cradle rank work during the coming
month and a full attendance is de-
sired at these sessions.

POPULAR
AS a Democrat and Ma
tional Guardsman is
Weybrecht
THE NEW ADJUTANT

Announcement of the selection of
Col. Charles O. Weybrecht, of ALI
ance, as adjutant general of Ohio un-
der the administration of Governor
Harmon is received with general sat
isfaction in his home county.
Col. Weybrecht is of sturdy Demo-
cratic stock. He and his brother, B.
F. Weybrecht, have been among the
foremost men of Stark county for
number of years. Abort ten years
ago Col. Weybrecht was a candidate
for congress on the Democratic ticket,
in the Eighteenth district. He gave
his opponent a close run in a strong
ly Republican district
In the primary in this county last
spring between Atlee Pomerene and
John G. Welty in the governor contest
Col. Weybrecht was the only Welty
delegate carrying his own precinct
and his selection as adjutant general
is an indication of the Welty influence
with the incoming administration.
He is popular with Democrats as
well as with national guardsmen. In
the guard he is especially popular.
No man has greater esteem among
the members of the guard than he.
In 1898 Charles q. Weybrecht was
captain of the Alliance company of
the Eighth regiment and went to Gu
ba with his regiment. The regiment
did not arrive in time to take part in
the battle of Santiago and of San
Juan hill, but for weary weeks was
encamped in muddy and sickening
trenches on the hills back of Santi-
ago. Fever broke out among the
boys. The commissary department
was inactive. The men were dying
rapidly. Protest was sent to Wash
ington, but to no avail Theodore
Roosevelt was one of the instigators
of ''round robin" that was sent to
Washington, demanding the removal
of the soldiers from the fever stricken
district. Captain Weybrecht was one
of the most active of all of the cap
tains in the protests that the round
robin" represented.
But process of removal was slow.
The boys were in a frightful plight.
It was at this time that the strong
manhood of Charles C. Welbrecht as
serted itself. He denied comforts to
himself and took his place in the
u SHCuSS Will HIS Iueu. what was
good enough for them was good
enough for him. Whatever there was
of extras for the officers of the COM
pany, Captain Weybrecht shared with
the men. He nursed many of the
boys of his command during illness.
He became the most beloved captain
in the regiment. And when the regi-
ment finally reached Montauk Point,
N. Y, after passage from Santiago
on foul-smelling cattle ship, many Of
the boys of his company owed their
lives to the captain of their company.
When the regiment returned home,
the reception Captain Weybrecht and
his feVer-stricken boys got was a not
able event. Many an Alliance mother
will rejoice over his recognition by
Governor Harmon, for she feels in
her heart that it was Captain Wey-
brecht who saved her boy.
Besides the military duties attach
ing to the office the adjutant general,
by virtue of his position, is custodian
of the statehouse and has to do with
the appointment of all the attaches
about the building and grounds as
well as a large office force.

awaited with interest as the farmers
are greatly excited over the dogs
rampage and fear that a discovery OF

by an epidemic of hydrophobia among
their stock, as they are unable to tell
how many Of their animals were Bit

TWENTY-FIVE
MarriageLicensesl issued
For Thanksgiving
Weddings
ONE COUPLE GOT LEFT

There was an unusual rush in the
probate court Office yesterday for Ii
censes to marry on Thanksgiving Day,
the holiday on which in past years
Cupid has done his greatest work Us
ually the marriage license Office is a
busy place the fore part of Thanks
giving week but nothing out of the or
dinary was stirring until yesterday
afternoon when the applicants SEEM
ed to fairly come to the court house
in droves.
The recent depression in business
seemed to have no telling effect on
Dan Cupids work this year, inasmuch
as up to the present time just as many
and IL not more marriage licenses have
been issued than last year. Yester-
day total of twenty-five licenses
were granted, while on the same day
last year there were just twenty-one
granted permission to wed. One thing
that was most noticeable yesterday
at the license office was the fact that
only one foreigner was among the
twenty-five candidates for the order
of benedicts.
One applicant was sadly disappoint-
ed yesterday afternoon when the IL
cense clerk informed him that he
could not get license at the Stark
county court house when the happy
bride-to-be was resident of Steuben-
Vile Jefferson county Rut he nnrat
secure license as the marriage is to
come off on Thanksgiving day.
Deputy Probate Judge Deal, who is
very accommodating and seeing the
terrible predicament the man was in,
hit upon a novel plan which might
work out well in the end. He would
call up the probate judge at Steuben-
vile over the telephone and find out
whether or not the man could meet
the judge by appointment Turkey day
morning and thereby get a license.
The call was put through but the an
Bwer received was not at all satisfac-
tory as the judge expected to be out
Of the city.
All was declared off and the would
be-benedict left the Office with a feel
ing of disgust deep down in his heart
for himself for not knowing that the
laws of Ohio require that license be
procured in the county of which the
bride-to-be Is a resident.
The licenses issued yesterday are as
follows:

WANTS NEW TRIAL,

The Massillon Coal Mining company
through their attorneys, Welty & AL
baugh, yesterday filed a motion for
a new trial in the Jacob Heinbacl
case in which the jury last Wednes-
day afternoon returned a verdict for
the plaintiff of $4,000. The defendant
company claims to have discovered
new evidence and asks that the re-
trial be given on the grounds that err
ror existed in the admission and the
rejection of certain evidence in the
courts charge to the jury, and in the
overruling of the motion to direct a
verdict in favor of the defendant.
