WOLF ON MAIN HIGHWAY.

While driving along the main coun-

O'Brien's attention was attracted to a

Akron Also For
Better Service

The fight begun by the people Of
Medina county to force the Northerz
Ohio R. R. Co., to provide better pas
senger and freight service to Akron.
by petitioning the public utilities COM
mission at Columbus, Friday, will be
taken up by the Akron Chamber ct
Commerce, according to a statement
made by it's president, Fred M. Harp
ham.
Medina county is normally within
Akron's shopping district and is a
big prosperous district which has
been held back because of poor con-
nection with outside cities.
tie present railroad connection
east consists of one train leaving Ak
ron in the morning and returning
there at night. This means that a. Me-
dina county man wishing to transact
business in Akron must leave on the
night train, and either complete his
business before the return train pulls
out in the morning or stall all day
and another night, leaving the follow
ing morning.
If a Medina man wanted to dispose
Of honey from the famous "A. I. Root
co. aperies here, he could leave Medina
Monday afternoon, stay over night,
spend all day and all night Tuesday
in Akron, reaching home Wednesday
around noon. His hotel and expenses
would in this way eat up most Of the
profits of his visit, and the result is
to discourage any business between
Medina county, a great producing
center, and Akron which forms a
splendid market.
Whether the Northern tOhio road
will give better service TO Medina
is doubtful. Several timesiin the past
four years petitions have been sent
to the railroad asking for more trains
but the company figured it viii not
pay them, it is said.
Although Medina Citizens have
been asking for better service for
the past three years, this is the first
time that formal complaint has been
made before the public utilities COM
mission.

Road Contract
in Abeyance

Some weeks ago the road commits
sioners advertised a sale of bonds for
the purpose Of rebuilding or fixing up
four strips of road about a mile each
fsapacti fReplncpth rnsA
| Wadswofth road, Laf tte road and
NOrwalk road. The bonds were sold
to Seasongood & Mayer Of Cincinnati.
Wednesday Of this week the roao
commissioners met to let the contract
for the work to local contracting
firm. Before they could do, this
however, Seasongood & Mayer sent
word that there appeared to their
counsel to be a doubt as to the bond
sale having been advertised the legal
length Of time. Thereupon the let
ting Of the contract was deferred.
Later the Cincinnati firm refused to
buy the bonds.
1t has come to the Sentinel several
times the past week that the road
commissioners had decided to let the
contract fer the building of these
roads on specifications other than
what had been drawn up by the en-
gineer and subsequently advertised.
In other words that the advertised
specifications called for an asphalt
road, whereas it had been decided to
let the contract for water-bound
macadam road, a change of specifica.
tions without advertising it and with
out giving any firms other than the
two first bidders a chance to bid on it.
| Thursday evening in conversation
with Mr.. C. H. Edwards, the Sentinel
CLEANED the following statement:
There were two bids received for
the building Of these roads-one by
the KennedysWarne Co., of Medina
and the other by a firm from Mans
field. The engineers estimate for the
asphalt road was from about $500
or $500 to $500 per mile. The bids
were much higher than the engineers
estimate. 1t was then, according to
Mr.. Edwards, that the road commits
sioners requested that these same two
! bidders furnish estimates for the
cheaper, or water-bound maeadam
road. The Kennedy-Warner company
did 30, but the Mansfield company
would not do SO, giving as their rea-
son that they did not care to have
anything to do with any kind Of a
road less than asphalt. The Kennedy
Warner Co., offered to build the
roads for $1,000 q. mile less than their
bid for the asphalt road. f
OF course, on account of the bonds
not having been sold, the contract has
mot been let. But It is admitted that
had the bonds been accepted Wednes-
day, the local company would have
received the contract for the water

club of Berea comes to Medina to
race with the Medina county matinee
driving club. Fifteen horses have
been entered by the visiting club and
they will be quartered at the track

with not less than four starters in
any class, which guarantees full af-
ternoon's recreation for those who

tied contests and hair-raising finishes
in every heat.
For weeks the owners have been

CHAUTAUQUA PARADE

From the Redpath Chautauqua Of
fees of Columbus, F. R. Speck ar
rived in the city Monday with new
line of advertising for the seven-day
program which is to begin here Aug.
S. Mr.. Speck is known as the "nine-
day man" and will remain here until
the arrival of Mr.. Resler, the Chau-
tauqua superintendent, and the tent
crew, two days before the opening.
Pennant streamers, additional souv-
enir programs, automobile pennants,
Chautauqua hats and window pen

the advance man. Already hundreds

On Monday evening, Mrs. B. Hewes
called meeting Of the ladies Of the
Medina Improvement Association and
the Chautauqua guarantors. Mr..
Speck was present and outlined a
whirlwind campaign of ticket selling.
1t was decided that program should
be placed in every home in the sur
rounding county and that every one
should be solicited to purchase q
season ticket. Ten automobile owners
volunteered to take the ones selling
tickets about the county.
An automobile parade is to be the
big advertising feature of the week.
DR.. H. S. Orr was made chairman of
the parade committee. He and his
helpers will ask the automobile own
ers to join in making the parade a
huge success. All machines will be
gayly decorated in Chautauqua PEN
nants and banners and the occupants
will be given nifty green and red hats
to wear. The parade will form on the
square at 6 o'clock Saturday evening,
escorted by the X. of P. band.
The season tickets are selling we'll.
A large clock in the window of N. 0.
Fuller's store indicates the number of
tickets sold each day. Every one, is
urged to aid the local committee by
purchasing tickets as early as pos
sible.

Everything dovetailed to make the

terday one big success. Last year the
attendance was 5000, end it has been
freely predicted that that number
would likely be swelled to nearly
If not quite double that figure at the
picnic this year.
From early morning yesterday each
car from either direction brought in
big loads of visitors to the grounds.
Delegations from Wooster, Ashland,
Mansfeld, Loudenville, Shreve, Orr
vile, Apple Creek, Doylestown, Ster-
Ling Smithville, Wadsworth, Spencer,
Lodi, Seville. Berea and Medina were
there In goodly representation, and the

AT noon it was estimated that there
were upward of $500 people on the
grounds and every car that arrived
was filled with eager Pythians and
friends. A conservative estimate
given out at the close of the day
placed Cne numDeF WHO enVereu. tAe
grounds during the day and evening
at close to 10000.
The day was calm, cool and invit-
ing and many availed themselves Of
a refreshing dip in the lake. Dis

the dance hall with dervish glee, while
others sought gladsomeness enthroned
/ upon the rigid form of a wooden lion

Pathetic Wall
From Poor House

In our issue of May %, under the
caption "Over the Hills" we reported
the removal of Mrs. Elizabeth Emig
to the county infrmary after the re-
fusal of her only son and daughter-in
law to live with and take care of her.
An echo Of this pitiful case re-
sounded Tuesday of this week when
Mr.. G. M. Cannon, an old friend of
the unfortunate woman, received a
letter from her laden with pent-up
grief and heart-rending appeal to be
liberated and taken home. The poor
old soul walls of inconsistencies. She
writes that her eyesight is nearly
gone and that she yearns for the So
lace Of the place in which the best of
her long life was spent and to taste
again the cooking which with child
ish pleasure she boasts Of her ability
to do.
Mrs, Emig was a lifelong resident
Of GtEiHord township and the widow
of Michael Emig, who died some
years ago. The latter was a success
full farmer and with the assistance Of
his faithful helpmeet became the own
er of farm Of 80 odd acres. When
Michael Emig died he left the farm
to his son, with the provision that un-
til her death the widow should have
possession and have the use of the
place for her support.
The daughter-in-law, it is reported,
refused absolutely to have anything
to do with her, and demanded that the
son assume a like course. Thereupon
guardian was appointed Mr.. A. B.
Rohrer Of River Styx, and the aged
and deserted old woman was hustled
over the hills to the poor house.
In her cry to Mr.. Cannon, Mrs. En-
ig denounced her son in no uncertain
language.

The Sentinel withholds comment in
this matter for the time being other
than expressing its belief that the
road commissioners erred and more
over were without the law when they
decided to change specifications with
out advertising the fact. To us It
was an net that could hardly bring
TO them else than censure, il not in-
vOlve them ia expensive litigation.

THE TAX COMMISSION OF OHIO
By A. ". Abernethy, Secretary.
It will be observed from the notice
Of meetings prepared by Auditor Gar
yer that they are not in accordance
with the order from the State Tax
Commission. In explanation Of this
Auditor Carver states that TO hold
separate meetings for each taxing
district would entail too much time
and further that the other two mem
bers Of the budget commission, Mayor
Boyer and w. G. Bowman of Wads-
worth, claim that they could not carry
out the mandate Of the State Commits
sion without personal financial loss
Following a meeting Of the county
budget commission on Monday al
Wadsworth at which this matter was
discussed, they communicated by tel
ephone with Mr.. Peckinbaugh Of the
State Tax Commission at Columbus
and asked permission to hold meetings
as outlined in the notice which ap-
pears elsewhere in this paper Mr.
Pecl1inpaugh, it is stated, reluctantly
gave permission, but insisted that the
meetings for the taxing districts Of
Wadsworth village and township bt
held in Wadsworth. sssa

the directions given out by the STATE
Commission are by far the better
means for getting The subject to thu
