FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT

Mr.. A. C. Vaupel of South Jeffer-
son street received word last week of
the sudden death of his brother
Charles and wife in California. The lat
ter had been motoring from their
home in Almeda to San Jose to spend
the day when about midway toward
home in the evening, for some exact
reason for which is unkonwn, they
met with an accident, which not only
wrecked the machine, but whichcaused
apparently instant death to both Mr..
and Mrs. Vaupel. The latter was as
sociated with a large hardware firm
in San Francisco. The bodies were
not found for some hours. Mr.. Vaupel
was a. Mason and that order took it
upon themselves to communicate with
the father in Cleveland, the latter
who had been foremost business man
of the sixth city for many years. The
remains of Mr.. and Mrs. yaupel were
inferred in Sunset View cemetery in
Berkley, California. q

Find Runaway
Boy in Medina

"Come home, Rodney" was the
caption to an item in the Plain Deal
en- of Wednesday morning, echoing
the call Of a mother made ill by her
boy running away from home.
The boy in question was Rodney
Patchin Of Middlefeld, Geauga county,
17-year-old sophomore in the high
school of that village, who evidently
pictured the outside world as more in
harmony with his altruistic tastes
than his erstwhile urban environment.
The morning preceding the an
nouncement of Rodney's exit from
Middlefeld two boys appeared at the
Sentinel office stating that they had
been directed there upon the promise
Of employment. 1t developed that
work awaited them at the Gazette Of
flee instead. The next morning when
Editor Rowe read the item in the
Plain Dealer he promptly recognized
the name given in the newspaper and
that Of the lad on his payroll as one
and the same. Rowe Immediately
communicated with the Plain Dealer
with the result that the father ar
rived in Medina Wednesday noon anc
took his son back to his old home. The
other boy went on his way.

Will Feature
Stock Raising

Stock raising will be featured at
the Agricultural Extension School
which will be held at Leroy during
the week of Dec. 28-an. /. It is
the subject in which the people of this
community have signifed that they
are especially interested and for this
reason the College Of Agriculture has
given it prominent place in the pro-
gram Of the Extension School. While
stock raising does not comprise the
only type of farming in this commun-
ity, it is one that will pay excellent re-
turns if carried on as it should, be. A
week spent at the Extension School
will give every farmer an opportunity
to learn of the requirements and pos
sibilities of stock raising. w. H. Pal
mer, an experienced feeder and breed
er of the College of Agriculture will
be the instructor.
In addition to animal husbandry,
demonstrations and instruction will be
given in soil fertility, farm crops,
poultry raising and home economics.
1t will be the aim of the college in
structors to inform the farmers of
this community of the best and latest
practices that can be adapted to their
own farms. The school will last five
days. Each day will be taken up with
an interesting program in which both
men and women can take part.
Extension Schools are the most i'm
portant part of the extension service
as conducted by the Ohio State Uni
versity. They have been successfully
| conducted in all parts of the state and
the demand this year has been great
er than ever before. For these reasons
the people Of this vicinity should con-
slider themselves fortunate in securing
the school as many other parts of the
state asking for them could not be

CHARLEY NEGLECTS

Still another divorce suit has found
its way to the County Clerks records,
this time in the case of Mary R. Hard,

her husband, Charles W. Hard. This
unfortunate couple were welded in
National City, Califo July 70; 1889,

fendant is guilty of gross neglect in
that he has absented himself and
wholly failed to provide for her dur
ing the past three years, also the
daughter during that portion of the
time the latter was living at home
during the three years prior to her
marriage. Plaintiff alleges that her

ert Nearly
es Out Debt

Medtn has full-fedged orchestra
of 16 members. 1t was recently or
ganized by Mr.. G. A. Offineer, who is
also its director. The first public ap-
pearance of this musical organiza-
tion was Tuesday night at the Prin-
cess theater, in a concert for the ben
eft of the Y. M. C. A., which has been
laboring under an Indebtedness of
about $75.
The personnel of the orchestra con-
sists entirely of Medina citizens.
These citizens, with a natural love for
music, have found time aside from
their business cares to gain a profic-
iency on their respective instruments
to degree seldom encountered in a
community the size of Medina. This
fact could be no better exemplified
than at the concert Tuesday night,
when the orchestra played such tech
nically difficult numbers as the over
lures to Raymond" by Thomas, and
"Light Cavalry" by Suppe. Indeed
there were other numbers of lighter
vein which were no less tax upon
the technique of the instrument alists.
No little credit is due Mr.. Offineer
not only for his initiative in attempt
ing to organize so pretentions an ag-
gregation of players, but for his more
than ordinary skill in arriving at SO
satisfactory results. In his work with
the orchestra Director Offineer evinc-
es the necessary qualities of musical
knowledge, sincerity and tact, quail
ties prerequisite to the successful di-
rector.
This organization should be en-.
couraged in every way. It is an asset
to the village. To each member, as
we'll as the director, the whole work
at best is purely a labor of love. Ano
when it is considered that the con
cert given Tuesday night was the re
suit of only about a months work
some idea may be CLEANED of wha
might be expected from the orchestr;
when it has been together for even ;
year. Following is the program givel

'WUrden Babcock
Departs Life

Many pleasant memories will be
awakened in the hearts of the older
Medina residents when they learn of
the death of Worden Babcock, which
occurred at st. Alexis hospital in
Cleveland Monday afternoon. The
deceased was product of this coun-
ty, having been born here October,
1888. He resided here until man.
hood and was married here to Julia
Gaylord. Three children were the
fruits of the union, two sons and one
daughter. The sons and widow sur
vive. Domestic infelicity caused the
husband and wife to be separated for
some years past. Up to the time OF
his last illness the deceased was in
the employ of the VIM. Taylor & Sons
Co., in Cleveland as shipping clerk.
Mr.. Babcock was one Of two twin
brothers, himself and William, who
were marble cutters by trade and who
conducted business here for many
years. He was musician of unusual
ability and conducted the Medina
band with success, and latcr a we'll
known Akron band.
Besides the widow and sons, the
deceased leaves a cousin, Mr.. S. S
Oatman and brother-in-law, Mr.. W
H. Hobart of Medina.
Funeral services were held at th'
home of the latter on Wednesday a
2 p. M, Rev. H. S. F'ritsch of the Con
gregational church officiating. Th'
body was placed in the vault in SprinI
Grove cemetery.

PrOmissOry Note
Swindle Again

The venerable promissory note
swindle is making therounds again.
A large number of persons through
out Medina county were drawn partly
into the vortex, but we have learned
that no one actually fell" for the pay
ment of note.
Sometime in early fall two dapper
and voluble young men appeared at
various homes in Medina village with
a glowing proposition to send four or
five magazines free for six months,
with the only provision that if at the
expiration of that time they were
satisfactory, those who had been re-
ceiving them should pay $3.50 for a
years subscription. Upon a verbal
agreement to do this the agents re-
quested that the victim write his
name and address upon a little pad
which the former had at hand, merely
as Safeguard" against mistake.
The fore part Of November these
Safeguards" turned up in a local
bank in the form of promissory notes.
They were from a firm known as the
Home and Country Publishing Co.
This company it is said is located in
Cincinnati, although the notes appear
to have been placed originally for col
lection with bank in Sylvania, O.
They reached Medina, however, via
Cleveland bank in a regular way.
Each victim was notified of the
notes by the local bank. Each victim
also, it should be stated, made hur-
ried visit to the bank. There were
their names, just as if they them
selves had written them. Suffice it tx
say that each and every note was We
hemently protested, and although
more than month has elapsed, M
further effort has been made by the
company for collection.
In years gone by this sort of swim
die was worked to death. Farmer!
galore were duped thus into buying
farm machinery, and the game wa
employed in every conceivable way.
In this latest case it is quite probable
that the publishing company ma,
prove to have been the real victim.
These agents may have been sen
out in good faith to solicit subscrip
tions and promised liberal commits
sions.
In order to get these commission
and get them in a hurry, (Which
course they would have to get in
hurry under the circumstances, if a
ally, they accomplished their purpos
by forgery, in copying the names ont
the notes. There are known to hav
been somewhere from six to ten c
these notes sent to the local bank fc

Vote Town Dry
in WadswOrth

Wadsworth had an election Tues
day under the Beal law and voted dry
by majority Of 1876 votes. The to-
tai vote cast was 831, four more than
was cast at the November election.
The town has been dry six years un-
der the Rose law. Church bells were
rung and whistles blown Tuesday
night in celebration of the election
result.
From the time the polls opened in
the morning until they closed at night
the race between the vets and drys
drew the attention Of every voter.
Both sides were confident.
AS in the case of most Ohio cities
voting under the Beal law, the ques-
ton had been made one of business
advantage in Wadsworth, with bust
ness men fighting business men and
the question of the moral right or
wrong somewhat pushed into the
background. Wadsworth ministers
took an active part in the campaign
of the drys.
The vets took their first vigorous
offensive Monday morning when liter
ature arguing their cause was dis
tributed throughout the town. Their
chief argument was that saloons in
nearby towns and not in Wadsworth
draws the money of Wadsworth peo-
ple and the produce and money of
farmers in this vicinity away from
local business men into the other
towns.
The drys refuted this claim by
arguing that the enormous amount
of money which would go into the
saloons would leave much less to be
spent on other business. Factory en-
ployers were also working hard on the
| drY side.

ing 110 bushels of shelled corn on an
acre. These young gentlemen had
Just returned from trip to Washing

quality Of the work being done in that
department. Supt. w G. Rhode pre-

Chapman, the two principal speakers
of the evening. County Supt. c. E.
jerks, Supt. w. s. Edmund of Me-
