NAMED 1T RAVEkNA.
Just When the Ohio Town Was Going
to Be Called Tappan.


Shortly after the Revolution Benja-
min Tappan, son of n wealthy Boston
merchant and the original owner OF
what is now Portage county. O.. en-
tered his fathers tract in the west
and spent the winter there. Other set
tiers joined him. and a settlement was
begun, which had the dignity of a
town at time when a single log cabin
at each place marked the present sites
of the cities OF Cleveland and Buffalo.
The place was one of singular natural
beauty. and the question of a name
soon arose.
Now. it harpend that at this time e
younger brother Of Benjamin Tappan's
and his wife we're in Italy and came
upon the old town of Ravenna. De
lighted with the place, the young bride
expressed to her husband the wish
that somewhere in the new world
there might arise a town worthy to
bear the name of the wonderful old
Italian city.
The husband Immediately thought Of
his brother in the Ohio wilds and az
once dispatched a letter in which he
pictured the beauties Of the italian
city and expressed the wish that the
town then arising in the wilderness be
named in its honor.
Many months later Benjamin Tap
pan, despairing OF finding a suitable
name for the town, was about to yield
to the wishes of his neighbors and be
stow the name OF Tappan upon II
when the letter arrived. So, instead
of Tappan, the town was named Ra
VIENNA, which name 1t still proudly
bears.-Ladics' Home Journal.

His Quick Flop.

Hundreds of letters are received ev-
cry month by John E. Kunkle, who is
known throughout the country as the
boys friend, and is familiarly ad-
dressed as "Gunk." He always has
his eye open for the bad boy, the
tough kid of the neighborhood. This
is the kind of boy that he likes to en-
roll in his league and decorate with
one of his badges.
One of the masterpieces that he re-
ceived through the mail from one OF
these boys says:
Dear Gunk: l thought l would
write to you and see If couldn't get
one of them badges. l have several
bad habits. / swear chew, smoke Gig
arettes, and say my prayers every
night, but if you'll send me a badge
I'll cut them all out and be good"

ARCTIC CLAIMS MORE VICTIMS
A German-Norwesian Exploring Party
Believed to Have Perished In
the Far North.

London, Eng.-Details of one of the
worst tragedies of modern Arctic ex'
ploration are filtering through from
Widge Bay, the northernmost point OF
Spitzbergen, where the German expe-
dition under Lieut.. Schroeder-Stranz
was lost last winter.
The exploring party, which was
composed of eleven Germans and hve
Norwegians, set out in June last in
the ship Herzog Ernst, under com
mand of Captain Ritscher.
The failure of the relief parties to
find the Schroeder-Stranz party leaves
small room for doubt that its mem
bers perished, but the search for
them will be resumed in June.

MORE REBATE CASES
FOUR RAILROADS AND A COAL
COMPANY INDICTED IN
ILLINOIS.
USE Of UNJUST RATES ALLEGED
Federal Grind Jury at East ST. Louis
Also Charges Discrimination Against
the Corporations-63 Counts
in Indictment.

East st. Louis, Ill.-Five indict
ments charging rebating and discrim-
ination in 63 counts have been re-
turned against four railroads and a
coal company by federal grand jury
here. The indictments set forth liz
stances wherein it is alleged the laws
were violated by the Vandalia; Cleve-
(Big Four); Chicago, Indiana IL
Southern are charged jointly in twen-
ty counts with making discriminating
rates and concessions in favor of the
O'Gara company.
The Grand Trunk and the coal COM
pany are charged in twenty counts
with receiving and granting conces-
sions and discriminating. Seven
counts jointly charges the Big Four;
Chicago, Indiana & Southern, and the
Grand Trunk Railroad and the O'Gara
Coal Company with conspiracy in vio-
lating the Elkins Act of 1903.
Possible Fines Total $2,630,00o.
The penalty that may be imposed
lOI law III NooS
of conviction is a minimum fine of
81 900 on each count and maximum
of $4,000 for each count, or $780,
600 for the sixty-three counts.
In the conspiracy charge, however,
there is no minimum, and the COM
panies may be fined $4,000 for each
of the seven counts, making $4,000,
or $1,350,000 for the sixty-one counts.
One of the most startling facts the
government hopes to establish is that
the O'Gara Coal Company, New
York corporation, is virtually owned
by the Big Four, or by the New York
Central, which, in turn, owns the Big
Four. This belief is strengthened by
the belief that T. ]. O'Gara of New
York, president of the OGara Coal
Company, with other officers of the
company, learned that the grand jury
was working on the charges and hur-
ried to this city.
The cases probably will be begun
in Danville next September. 1t will
not be possible to try them at the No
vember term in East st. Louis, ac-
cording to District Attorney Trout
mann.

destruction wrought by the Easter
storm, the tornado started near Lush
ton, swept northeast, passing south OF
York, barely missed Tomora, struck
the northwest portion of Seward,
where it did its most, severe damage,
then continued its eastward path and
touched Omaha, but by the time it
reached the Missouri river city its
damaging force was spent and it only
served to recall to the residents there

try, taking many buildings along its
course 1t struck the western or resi-
dence part of Seward and swept ev-
erything in it's path. 1t came onto
the town so suddenly that only part
of the people had opportunity to run
to cellars, or other places OF refuge.
Those killed generally were caught
in the wreckage of their homes, which
were quickly crushed.
The tornado, after passing through
Seward, continued on its course to the
northwest, doing great damage 10 ru-
raj homes. Reports say that the
towns of Lushton, Grafton, Utica and
McCool were in the path of the twis-
ter, but all wire communication to
