Sheriff
Won't Allow City Prisoners
In County Jail
Unless Properly Committed
To The County
Takes Up All The Keys In
Hands Of The Police

On Thursday evening Sheriff Wooli-
son demanded and secured all the
keys to the Knox county jail, which
have been in the hands of the police
and other officers of the city, and gave
out the information that hereafter no
city prisoners would be received at
the Knox county Jail, unless properly
committed to the county.
Sheriff Woolison stated to the Ban.
ner that the city is arranging lock-
up for city prisoners, so he thought
it was time to call in the keys ana re-
fuse to allow any more city prisoners
to be locked up in Jail.
BY the action of Sheriff Woolison
prisoners picked up by the police for
intoxication cannot be placed in the
county Jail, but must be taken immedi.
ately before a magistrate. This is
due to the fact that the city's lookup
at the Third ward engine house Is
not yet ready to receive prisoners and
until it is completed there will be no
place for the city prisoners unless
properly committed to the county.

The edict will take effect February

cent.
Under the new schedule reductions
from Akron to cities in the state will
amount to from 12 to Is per cent.
Local companies have not yet re
ceived their new schedules.
Express companies expect a large
Influx of additional business on ac
count of the cuts. Companies say
hereafter food products, such as eggs
butter, vegetables and fruit will re
celve special attention to insure rapid
transportation and quick delivery. IL

Elks Dance
A Pleasant Event


A Pleasant Event
The third number of the series of
Elks dances was given at the Elk
home Thursday evening and was the
most successful of the season. Over
fifty couples were present throughout
the dance program, music for which
was furnished by the Mild orchestra
Punch was served during the evening.
One of the most enjoyable features
Of the evening was the supper which
was served in the grill room by a
committee of ladies'. The menu con-
sisted of sandwiches, buttered brown
bread, escalloped oysters, pickles, ice
cream and cake, coffee and candy. The
tables and grill room were decorated
beautifully with poinsettias and other
plants and flowers popular in winter.
An unique way was adopted for
choosing supper partners. Small
cards were distributed and each card
contained verse. The cards were
cut in half, the halves being kept
separate. After being well mixed, the
half cards from one bunch were dis
tributed among the ladies while the
gentlemen were furnished with halves
from the other bunch. The two per.
sons holding the halves that matched
or had composed the original card
were partners.
The next dance of the series will be
| a masquerade. A.committee of fifteen
ladies were appointed Thursday eve
ming to serve the supper.
