The sundry civil appropriation bill
which recently passed both houses OF
Congress carried an appropriation OF
sl25000 for the survey OF the northern
lakes of the United States which in.
cludes the natural nayigabe waters of
the so-ealled New York State Canals
and Lake Champlan. The shippers of
| burlington, Vermont, and other lake
ports in Vermont were particularly
anxious of including in this bill an extra
appropriation to widen and deepen the
channel between Whitehall, n. V, and
Benson, Vermont, to conform to the
standards of the Barge canal system.
Such an appropriation had the approval
Of the engineers of the war department
but it was impossible TO secure the APP
preparation in this bill as the Democrat
&c party refused te allow any amend
ments whatever as they were anxious TO
pass the bill in the same form in which
il was when vetoed at the last session
OF congress by President Taft to save time
Tor the consideration of the tariff. The
debate on this bill centered around the
clause relating to the exemption of the
use of an appropriation for the prose
eution of farmers and labor trusts,
which caused President Taft to veto the
bill.

n Carnival Contest Wen By
Stella Wythe
masquefade Night Enjoyed
Dy Large Crowd

Stella Wythe, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. William X. Wythe Of S07 North
Gay street, won the pony Friday night
with a total OF 10,364 votes. Ever
since the contest began on the first
OF the week she had been in the lead
end apparently had 1t won from the
very start. More votes were cast be-
tween s:45 o'clock and 9 o'clock Fri.
day night than during the entire five
days preceding. .
At s:45 o'clock Stella had only .
few over 1000 votes. but those closest
to her In the contest began to grow
nearer Then the voting began to get
heavy, but ended with q good lead for
the winner. The pony was presented
Immediately after the close of the
contest. The event attracted much at
tention and. Main street was choked
in front Of the pony stand for period
Of over fifteen minutes.
The masquerade was In one way a
success and in another 1t was not It
was a decided success in bringing the
people onto the street, but not enough
persons masked. The crowd was
larger even than that Of Monday night
when the carnival opened with the
spectacular parade. The people we're
more generally distributed over the
streets. howver. and the thorough.
feres were congested only at certain
points. It was the biggest night oi
the carnival thus far and everybody
seemed to be enjoying themselves i'm
mensely. The carnival spirit was by
far more prevalent and the attractions
were literally patronized. The sky
was overcast with clouds all evening
but the danger Of rain was !braved al
first and was soon forgotten.
A new feature introduced Friday ev
ening was the "jail'' into which was
put prisoners picked up from the
crowd BY pseudopolicemen. The pris
! oners were all innocent, Of course
but all had to buy ther way out oi
"iail". The subjects Of arrest were al

! source Of q great deal Of fun and 81
citement. The prisoners taken sub
mitted in good spirit with the 0excep

the bid of the Van Dorm Iron Works
Co., of Clevelaui for steel cells and

SPECTACULAR
Features TO Mark Commence.
meRt Al Q. S. U.

Be Celebrated

All Ohio. and much Of the nation
besides il manifestlng great interest
in the various spectacular features
which will mark the commencement
exercises Of Ohio State University
when the 10th anniversary Of the
founding Of that institution will be
celebrated.
This county numbers among its citi'
zens 32 graduates and former stud
ents. A number OF these are prepar-
Ing to attend the celebration, June
s, .. 10 and II.
Among the leading Knox county
men and women who received their
education at Ohio State University,
are: w. @. Allgire. Centerburg; Helen

ley, H. A. Genres, H. w. Koons. w.
B. Morris, A. C. Wolfe, Mt. Vernon.
One Of the principal features Of the
celebration will be the historical page
ant which will not be as serious as
its designation might suggest. Each
of the classes will be represented by
as many of its members as possible,
and these will be garbed in uniform,
or dressed In some fantastic manner
which will recall the characteristic in
cidents OF their school days. There
will be bands, banners, floats, symbol
ical figures. decorations and all the
paraphernalia that goes to make up a
real pageant.
The class of 1918, as the babies
Of the school, have decided to appear
In long white gowns and Dutch caps,
and probably knitted socks. The
classes in school during the Spanish
American war will indicate that fact
by their costumes. Those who belong
to the '1412" crowd will go to still
greater lengths m achieving the un'
usual and picturesque.
The baccalaureate sermon will be
delivered by Rev. Glenn Atkins, class
| OF 'SS, Of Providence, r. |. There
| will also be . dedication of memor
ial to Prof. BENJAMIN Thomas. A
luncheon for men, another for women
and the annual alumni dinner ant
