PLAN NEW APPROACH
To M'KINLEY'S TOMB

City officials are considering plans
for an additional approach to the Nc
Kinley monument as well as the per-
manent improvement and beautifying
Of the streets now leading to the tomb.
The new approach in contemplation
is over Elgin avenue, now little more
than wagon road or narrow drive
way from Tuscarawas street to the
pumping station of the water works
department. The west side of the
street, which is the first west of the
Tuscarawas street bridge, is a rough
bluff Of irregular heightn, starting a
short distance north of Tuscarawas
street and extending beyond the
pumping station, while on the east
side there is an incline varying from
four, to ten feet that leads to the
waters edge in West creek or the
water works race. What would be-
come the middle Of the street should
II be extended north of the pumping
station Is now occupied by the water
works race which flows into the res
ervoir at the pumping station and pro-
Vides reserve supply Of water should
the artesian wells at any time fail
to meet the demands.
The course of this race will have to
be changed from point some distance
north of Linden avenue, and accord
ing to City Engineer j. A. Starrett,
the plan most favorably considered is
the placing of the race in a closed
brick conduit, about FIVE feet in diam
eter, from point near the northern
boundary of Water Works park to
the pumping station. Under this plan
Elgin avenue can be extended north
IN a direct line through city property
to a point beyond the monument, pro-
Viding an approach along the lower OF
front side and affording a splendid
view of the structure and its surround
tngs.
When the street is extended it is
proposed to grade it TO it's full width,
provide an adequate driveway, lay
walks On both sides with lawns and
shade trees between walks and curbs
on both sides.
The city officials also plan to pave
Linden avenue, one OF the chief ap-
could only be reached by way of Tus-
caTawas street. which was undesirable
for funeral corteges because of its
street cars and its heavy traffic. Lin
den avenue Is now used TO a great ex-
tent in preference to Tuscarawas
street, but TO fully serve the purpose
should be paved and kept clean and
in good condition in all seasons and
under all conditions of weather.
Engineer Starrett said he hoped to
secure a beginning on the legislation
and other prellminaries for the Linden
avenue work this year and that lac
Improvement would be completed in
side of two years. He could not say

C. E. INSTITUTE
Plans Completed for Third Annual
institute for February 20.


The county C. e. officers have now
completed their plans for the third
annual G. e. institute to be held in
the First U. B. church In Canton on
Saturday Feb. 20. Rev. Harpster,
state president, Rev. Polling state
field secretary, and Mrs. Bussert and
Mrs. Hutchison, state missionary and
junior workers, will be present to con-
duct the work of the institute.
A county tour will be held from
Sunday, Feb. IA, until the institute and
every society will be visited with con-
ference or rally. State workers will
make this tour and some of the local
workers will be used in rallies. At
the rally In Canton on Friday even
ing, Feb. 19, two free trips will be
awarded to the state c. e. convention
to be held at Kenton June 22-25 this
year The society in Canton sending
the largest delegation according to
their enrolment will be given the
privilege of sending their delegate
free; and to the society outside of
Canton sending the largest delegation
according to their enrolment will be
given the privilege of sending their
delegate free.
Thus far this year Stark county
leads the other counties in the organ
ization of new societies and an effort
will be made to land the state ban
ner for the largest organization. This
banner is given by the United Society
to the banner state and the state
gives it TO the banner county, thus If
Stark is able to land this banner it
will place her among the foremost
counties in the United Society.
The county tour will be opened with
the union G. e. rally held in Alliance
Sunday evening. Rev. G. B. Reynolds
will also address the Massillon c. p.
union on Sunday afternoon, Feb. IA.

a case where the Carnegie medal Tor
Bravery was due. Kenneth Lee Of
Augusta has made good his claim for
the reward.
Now the thing we want to especial
ly impress while this painful occur
renee is fresh in mind, is the import
ance of teaching boys and girls, too,
lie they are to be allowed to handle
firearms, a few simple rules that
ought not to be overlooked in any fam
lily. Here they are in plain terms.
Never point gun towards anyone.
Never to get over a fence, in or out of
boat, until shells have been removed
from the gun. Never to SHOOT at any
ching in the woods until absolutely sure

If these rules, simple and plain as
they are, could be followed by every
one there would be but few such sad
occurrences as has just marred the
tranquility Of many Augusta homes.

HAS TROUBLES GALORE.
Charles Langley, Prisoner in kenne-
, beo Jail, Wanted in Piscataquis Co.

From documents which have been
received by Sheriff Getchell this week
it would sedn that Charles Qrrin
Langley ,s6n& Of the bound over pris-
onersyat alp Jain is a very much want
ed man and that after his troubles in
this county are over he will have to
face others in Piscataquis. Langley
was committed to Jail in November
from Gardiner municipal court on a
charge of assault, to await the January
term of the superior court, and it was
in that way that the Piscataquis coun-
ty officials located him.
Sheriff Getchell received a letter
Wednesday from Deputy Sheriff Fred
G. Warren of Dover, and accompanying
the letter was a warrant for Langley s
arrest, and the sheriff of Piscataquis
county will be notified at such time
as the kennebec county courts are
through with the prisoner. For sew
eral months Sheriff Knowles of Pts
cataquis county has been looking for
charge of obtaining goods under false
pretenses, but it was not until this
week that he was located.
According to report Langley went to
Dover last summer and for awhile cut
quite swath. He purchased a barber
shop, wore fine clothing, fell in love
with one of the young women Of the
town. and it is alleged that when he
went away he took his,l lady loves
watch with him. A warrant was is
sued for his arrest but the search was
fruitless one until he was located as
above stated.

caption
THE PROMPT ACT OF A BRAVE
LAD.
The Nennebec Journal of last Sat
urday morning told the sad story of a
shooting accident that cost Leigh Flynt,
the son of G. +. Flynl of Augusta,
his right hand and forearm. While
we all sympathize deeply with the
parents who have many, many friends
all over the State, and with the vic
tim OF the vicious mishap, we are
filled with admiration for the prompt,
coolheaded action of the hero of the
occasion, Kenneth F. Lee, son of H. H.
Lee, the turf editor of this paper, a lad
less than 16 years of age. Too much
cannot be said in praise of the heroism
and coolheadedness of boy who did
everything that a mature, trained ply
stefan or nurse could baNeadone,s under
similar circumstances. We do not
wonder that the parents and teachers
of this brave lad are proud of his act.

Both Of them had been accustomed to

They landed on the island and young
Flynt reached into the boat to pull
lis gun muZZl" first, towards him.
The gun was loaded and it is supposed
that the hammer caught on the seat
and in that way was discharged. Ken
meth Lee, his companion, had left
the boat first. and had just broke
Town" his gun to load it when he
heard a report behind him. Quickly
turning he saw his companion erect
but swaying heavily. and holding on to
his arm. Divining the trouble in an
instant Kenneth asked him for his
knife, and ripping up his coat sleeve
on the injured arm took young Flynt's
belt to try and stop the flow of blood
but found that the leather was too stiff
to get close bind on the injured
member. Quick as a flash he pulled
eff his own hunting coat and two
sweaters, and removing his suspenders,
wound them tightly about the arm and
stopped the flow of blood. Then with
:, joint of his cleaning rod he twisted
certain that the blood would not start
again. Then getting the injured boy
into the boat he rowed to shore half
a mile away, reached nearby house,
called 4 doctor from Winthrop, notified
Mr.. Flynt at Augusta, and in fact did
everything that a cool-headed, expert
cnced man could have done. under the
most trying of circumstances
Personally Kenneth Lee is very
tall, slim boy for one of his age, is
light comnlectioned, with thoughtful
blue eyes, wears glasses and has always
been great reader all his life. He is
today the hero in his home at Augusta
He has handled guns ever since he was
10 years old, but never had any expert
ence that would seem to fit him for
what he underwent at Winthrop last
Friday.
