But Citizens Of Former Town
Vigorously Protest
And As A Result A Hornets
Nest Is Stirred Up

Buckeye City, Ohio, Feb. 5-A spir-
been aroused between citizens of
Buckeye City and Danville over the
proposed change of the name of the
Pennsylvania railroad station at
Buckeye City. The station now bears
and always has born the name of
Danville and the citizens of
Buckeye have petitioned the railroad
company TO make the change.
Almost Immediately after the petit
tion of the Buckeye people had been
filed, the citizens of Danville found it
out and considerable agitation in
both villages quickly sprung up. Ev-
erything possible will be done by the
objecting element to keep the name
of the station as it is.
A petition was started Thursday
morning by Danvilleg persons and
was circulated all day. The petition
asks the railroad company to look
with disfavor upon the proposition of
the Buckeye City citizens. 1t was
signed freely by people living in Dan.
vile and will be filed with the COM
pany as soon as possible. The de-
cision will not be learned, perhaps,
for several days. Meanwhile, people
will still buy tickets at the station
called Danville. .F
In petitioning the railroad company
for a change in the name of the sta
ton, the Buckeye City people speci-
fled their reasons and some of them
are very good ones. The first and
most sensible reason is that the sta
ton is located squarely in their viii
lage and is several hundred feet from
the nearest house that is located in
Danville. Also, the bulk of the freight
traffic and business is done by the
Buckeye City concerns. They have a
mill, two large elevators, bank, two
dry goods stores, post Office, and
| other commercial establishments.
These facts were brought out in the
petition which went further to point
out that Danville has no industries
that will compare favorably with them
and that far less freight goes into
Danville than into Buckeye City.
The Danville citizens got onto the
move of their neighbors to the south
| when communication was received
by some of their prominent citizens
from the railroad company asking for
an expression of sentiment by the
people of Danville on the proposed
| change. The communication virtually
stirred up a hornets nest and things
\ have been buzzing since. 1t did not
take long to produce an expression
from the Danville people.
The strife between the two villages
that has been brought on by the
proposed change of name of the sta
ton is rather unseemly and is gener
ally considered too bad in view oi
ne fact that the two have composed
the Twin City" for so many years
and now it has come to a point where
there has been a rupture in the har
mony that has existed and it will be
a case from now on of twins fight
ing over name, More interesting
features may develop.

And Appointments Will Follow
In Few Days

District Assessor French w. Sew
erns on Thursday morning received
from the state civil service commits
sion list of persons eligible for the
appointment to the position of deputy
tax assessor in Mt. Vernon and Knox
county.
Mr.. Severns stated Thursday that
he will go over the list very carefully
and that he will not be able to an
nounce his appointments before next
Monday. The names of candidates
from each township and ward of the
city, who have the highest grades,
were sent to District Assessor Sew
erns and from this list he will make
the appointments. AS the appoint
ments are not to be made public until
next Monday, it will be late in the
week before the deputies will be able
to go to work.
The list of eligibles is presented be-
low. In this connection, District As
SCISSOR Severns explains that the state
civil service commission certified
three names for each taxing district
where there had been enough appli-
cants taking the examination to make
up that number. In some districts
ther was only one, and in some two
applicants, while in one district, Ber-
lin, there was no applicant. 1t is
also explained by Mr.. Seyerns that
because an applicants name does not
appear on the list of eligibles, it does
not mean that he did not pass the
examination, the list of eligibles fur
nished being of those who received
the highest grades at the examination.
If, for any satisfactory reason, the
District Assessor is of the opinion
that all the persons ON the list from
any district are not properly qualified
to fill the position, he may ask the
civil service commission for the
names of others who passed the ex-
animation with a lower grade, from
which choice might be made.
A deputy assessor may be appointed
to serve in a district different from
the one of his residence.
Mt. Vernon is a single taxing dis
trict. Ward lines are obliterated in
connection with making the assess
ment. There will be four deputy as
SCISSORS for Mt. Vernon, but their ap-
pointment will not be designated by
wards for the reason stated above.
In cases like Berlin township, where
there is no eligible, the District AS.
SCISSOR may make an appointment oi
a resident of the township without re-
ference to the civil service law, but
the person so appointed must after
wards take a non-competitive exami
ration.
The list of eligibles certified by the
state civil service commission to Dis
trict Assessor Severns is as follows
by districts
Berlin--No eligibles.

VICTORY
For The Mounts Over The
Smiths Rollers
At Basket Ball On Wednesday
Evening

The Mounts defeated Smiths Roll
ers of the Columbus Capital City
league at the local Y. M G. A. We'd
nesday night by score of So to "a.
1t was great exhibition of basketball
especially on the part of the home
team, many beautiful shots and fine
team work featuring in both halves.
The game was a clean and fast one
and did not lag in interest at any
time although the Mounts forged far
ahead and were we'll out of danger
at the conclusion of the first half.
In the second period of play team
composed of nearly all substitutes
was sent onto the floor against the
visitors and the second team, being
fresh, played their opponents to a
stand-still. The members of the local
team showed greatly improved ply
sical condition and training. All OF
the first team were in condition to
finish the game had their services
been necessary.
The Columbus five, which ranks
slightly above Bates Pirates, team
which defeated the Mounts earlier in
the season, displayed very good team
work and performed brilliantly at
times. All of them were good athletes
and were in good training but super
ior system of play, both offensive ant
defensive, gave Mt. Vernon rathe
easily won victory.
The defeat of the Rollers by a rath
er large score came as a surprise t,
local fans. They are not the best, bu
are among the best in Columbus ant
it is with feeling of pride that Mi
Vernon enthusiasts have come to th'
realization that the Mounts have in
proved in strength and science to sucl
point that they are capable of NEE
ing on even terms the strongest bes
ketball aggregations in the state
Some of the fastest teams will b.
scheduled for games in the near fl
ture.
The Mounts, at times, toyed witt
the Rollers. Their passing YVES ia
above any form that they have ye
shown this year and the visitors wer
at loss when called upon to stop tn
fast formations that were launched
against them. The local forwards, a
well as the other members of the tear
when an opportunity presented itsel
shot baskets with remarkable accur
acy from nearly any position on tn
floor. No ordinary team could hav'
had a chance against them. The
crowd was larger than ususal, anothe'
encouraging fact. Interest in thu
Mounts is daily increasing and the re
mainder of the games will probabl,
be played before packed houses.

Storms and floods, the enormous loss
OF life and the strain of incessant
IiShtng apparently have taxed to the
limit OF human endurance the opposing
forces facing each other in the death
struggle in Belgium and Northern
France. Another lull has come In the
great battle, which presumably is but
the prelude to one more desperate cf-
tort. To-day's reports from the front
indicate that assaults by infantry and
cavalry have been abandoned for the
moment, except for minor engage
ments. and that only the artillery is
continuing operations with vigor un-
diminished.
Meanwhile the fighting continues on
many other fields. The Russian in
Vasion of Turkish territory from Cau-
casus has been halted. The great cam
>aign of the Russians against the Aus
tro-German armies proceeds with
varying fortunes in different localities,
with chtef interest now centering in
the German offensive movement
against the Russian center.
In Servia the Austrian advance is
Delng carried on according to Vienna
reports. with further success.
Accounts of the fighting in Belgium,
official and otherwise, dwell upon the
trightful hardships which the men in
the water soaked trenches are called
upon to endure, and the great loss of
life. Regarding this latter phase, Off
cial reports have little to say, and
although private accounts of the ex-
tent of the slaughter must be ac-
cepted with reserve it is evident that
both the Germans and their foes have
suffered greatly
One such report comes from Brit
ish correspondent who estimates the
German casualties in the last four
days at 100000.
Bury 10000 Austrians
If similar reports from the east are
to be credited the slaughter in that
territory is no less terrible A letter
written by Galician priest describes
a grave more than four miles long.
In it, says the letter. 10000 Austrians,
the dead from one days fighting were
buried.

The most that is being accomplish
ed in the west by this sort of warfare,
as the latest British communications
indicate, is that the allies have been
able to hold their lines in the main
with here and there small retirements
before the German assaults. The Brit
ish losses, 1T is acknowledged. are very
heavy. An official narrative of the
hShting given out in London to-day
pays an unreserved tribute to the
bravery of the Germans.
The French official communication
of to-day after emphasizing the violent
character of the cannonading now in
progress, mentions a few localities in
Belgium and along the Aisne where
German infanry attacks were made.
These attacks, it is said, were repuls-
ed.
The fighting along the eastern boun-
airy of Germany is of a different char
acter. There is nothing there to cor
respond with the endless lines of
trenches which stretch across France.
Movements of troops are more mobile,
and the main battle line is shifting
constantly. In France an advance OF
rev yards is worthy of mention. In
Galicia, Russian Poland and East
Prussia, they measure movements by
scores of miles.
Little news of an official character
was received from the Russian fields
OF battle. Private advices from Pet
rograd, however. dispute the German
claims to success in Russian Poland,
asserting that the German offensive
movement has failed The Russian
squadron is said to have left Helsing-
fors, Finland with the supposed in
tention of engaging the German Bal
tic fleet
Russia admits the truth of recent
Turkish statements that the invaders
from the north had been driven back.
The Russian advance guard, it is an
nounced officially. has been forced to
halt its march on Erzerum, the Turk
ish town near the eastern end of the
Black Sea.
