schools previously closed in sub-dis-
tricts Nos. 2, 8 and 12, in which pc
titioners respectively reside. On Mon
day three motions were also filed pray
ing for alternative writs of mandamus
This appeal is the outgrowth Of the
war on Capitalization which has been
waged for some time by faction in
Wadsworth, the latter recently re-
ceiving setback by decision from

BOARD OF TRADE WILL
BUY new SWEEPER

Next summer all the paved streets
in Medina village will be kept clean
as we'll as sprinkled-you have the
promise OF the Board of Trade for
that. The board met in special ses-
sion Monday night and settled the
question. A new sweeper was ordered
from the Austin Co., of Chicago and
an agent of atheScompany present
at the meeting agreed to have the
i edna dnle " time next
week. It was shipped from Chicago
Wednesday. If foutid to be satisfac-
tory the Board Of Trade will buy it
outright. Later those whose property
abuts on streets that are paved will
be asked to contribute proportionately
toward the cost of the machine. II
may be stated that the board has had
this idea in mind for some time be-
cause of general dissatisfaction over
the condition Of our streets in the
dusty season. The council made a
move in this direction last spring
when it ordered sweeper sent here
on trial, but the sweeper is said not
to have been all that the company
claimed for it, hence it was not pur-
chased, though still in town, the
owners having not called for it. The
Board of Trade is to be commended
for its generous and enterprisine
action.

A. D. Metz, Wooster attorney for
Wiley Waite, went to Columbus We'd
nesday afternoon to appear before the
state supreme court on Thursday morn
ing in an effort to have that body
grant leave to file petition in error.
Waite was found guilty in Wayne
county common pleas court for abet-

was performed on Margaret Hogue of
Brunswick. The court of appeals sus.
tanned the lower court.
A motion has been filed in the SUI
preme court for leave to file petition

D. Metz argued that there are suf-
ficient errors in the case to allow the

case on its merits. Prosecuting At
torney Stan will oppose the filing of
the motion. If the supreme court
turns down the motion and refuses to
hear the case, Waite must then start

standing room, and the work Of the
players earned generous and we'll
merited applause. The proceeds will

URGE LICENSE FOR
FISHERMEN IN OHIO

Through the initiative Of |. S. Myers
Akron, member of the state board of
agriculture and chairman of the fish
and game committee Of that body, a
measure to provide a fisherman's IL
cense for Ohio anglers may be enacted
by the state legislature at it's next
session,
Myers, whose activities have done
much towards the propagation Of fish
and game in Summit county probably
will suggest the introduction Of meas
lltts 10 provide b iisheasnah's license u
Legislators from his district.
A tidy state fund, which is at the
disposal of the agricultural board for
the propagation of fish and game, has
been paid in by hunters who have been
compelled to take out licenses to enjoy
the sport.
In Myers opinion the cost of propa-
eating fish in Ohio should not fall en-
tirely on hunters, and he believes a
license fee Of 81 per year should be
paid by fishermen. They would re-
ceive, in return, the right to fish in
state waters anywhere in Ohio.
The cost Of the fish hatcheries now
under construction on state land in the
Portage lakes district will come out
of the fund provided by hunters, but
fishermen will derive the benefits
Other Improvements among the lakes
are being planned.

SHERIFF MUST PAY FOR
jAIL'S LIGHT and WATER

For years it has been accepted as a
matter of course that the heating,
lighting and use of water in the coun-
ty Jail were items of expense which
the county should bear and up to the
present time the county has borne
them. But now the commissioners in
form US that they have no legal right
to issue warrants for such bills. That
if the occupants of the jail freeze to
death, die of thirst, or rely upon
moonlight for their evening reading,
it is their own lookout and no concern
of the county whatsoever.
The question was under discussion
by the commissioners at their meeting
Monday. The commissioners it seems
have been of the opinion that the
county had not been bearing these
bills in the past, because they all made
the statement to the Sentinel editor
that when asked a year or more ago
who was paying the lighting bills OF
the Jail, the sheriff declared that he
himself was paying them. Officials Of
the local lighting company state posi-
lively that the county, not the sheriff
has paid these bills ever since the
lights were installed.
But it is probable that no more
bills Of the kind will be allowed, as the
commissioners are already receiving
bids to have the lighting and watel
connections cut off between the jai
and the court house, so that each builC
ing will have it's own meters, th'
county bearing hte expense SOLELY o.
what is used in the court house.
The Jail being a county building, th'
question is being raised why it shoul'
not receive the same consideration a
any other county building, for instanc
the infrmary.

FIRE DESTROYS MI. !
SHARON INDUSTRY

At $50 o'clock last evening, just as
we were going to press word was re-
ceived of the complete destruction BY
fire Of the Alderfer Crate Co. at
Sharon. Light from the flames was
vividly plain to people in Medina. The
cause of the fire could not be learned.
J. M. and F. G. Alderfer are at the
head of the company, which manufac-
lures folding crates, pottery, motor,
bicycle and carriage tire crates, car
riage tire and hose reels, hose cores,
etc., and was concern as large or
larger than the Medina Bending
Works. The buildings were insured
but to what extent we were unable to
learn last evening.

WILL TUESDAYS
ELECTION Be LEGAL

1t is the policy Of the Sentinel, the
same as all responsible newspapers, to
ignore communications which do not
bear the names of the writer's. OBJ
viously, however, this rule must ad-
nit of an occasional exception. A
case in hand is that Of two letters re-
ceived at this Office Thursday after
noon. Both writer's directed our at
tention to the section Of law relating
"a the mayors proclamation of cleo
S43n. The section referred to makes
it mandatory that the proclamation
not only shall be published, but that
it shall be published at least ten days
before election. The proclamation, to
meet the full requirement Of the sta
tute, should have appeared in the
papers, a week ago. Appearing this
week allows only five days, which, ac-
cording to the opinion of certain To-
cal attorneys, would be sufficient to
invalidate the election, should any de-
feated candidate desire to contest the
point.
, The point would scarcely be worth
noticing were it not that so many i'm
portant questions are to be voted upon
at the coming election in the way Of
amendments. A close vote either way
might be seized upon by the losing
side as a pretext for having the cleo
tion declared illegal, even though the
illegal feature were but the merest
technicality. It was but two weeks
ago in our own courts that larceny
case was taken from the jury and the
defendant dismissed solely on account
of a trivial technical error on the part
of the state; SO very trivial in fact
that it is probable the jury do not yet
know why the case was taken out Of
their hands.

FLAGLE-GRIEsE WEDDING

Another of Medina's popular young
ladies became bride this week when
Miss Margaret Flagle was united in
marriage to Mr.. G. s. Griese Of .Cleve-
land, at the home of w. H. Hobart,
224 North Court street. Only the inn
mediate relatives of the contracting
parties witnessed the ceremony which
was the impressive Episcopal service
performed by Rev. VIM. v. Edwards
of ST. Paul's Episcopal church.
Those present from out Of town
were the groom's father Mrs. Mary
Msahey dith cCabe, Mr. and
Mrs. Adelbert Riclsard and son Hob
art, all Of Cleveland; Mrs. Gaylord and
Mrs. Phoebe Boise Of Cuyahoga Falls
and Mr.. and Mrs. B. E. Warner and
daughter Virginia Of Leroy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Warner were respectively best
man and matron of honor. aass
The bride was gowned in white crepe
de-Chine and shadow lace, and bore a
beautiful bouquet of brides roses. The
couple were the recipients of many
beautiful and expensive gifts. y
Miss Flagle, as stenographer for
Attorney Arthur Van Epp, became
directly associated with the young
ladies connected with the various Of
fees in the court house and the latter
were not forgetful that one of their
number was deserting them in their
single blessedness and emphasized the
fact by attaching bunch of tin cans.
etc., to the auto which was to bear the
bride and groom to Cleveland, with the
result that when the machine was un-
der way, many mistook the sound fol-
that of a traction engine or juggar-
naut. A copious supply of rice soft
ened the effect, however, as the happy
couple sped away to their home in the
city, bearing with them the best wishes
of a large number of friends. They
will reside on West 85th street, where
Mr.. Griese has just completed an apart
ment house.

TEACHERS ARRANGE
CONTESTS SERIES

Representatives from nearly all the
high schools of the county met at Me-
dina Tuesday evening, Oct. 26, to COM
plete arrangements for series of de-
clamatory contests to be held during
the coming winter.
These representatives, seventeen
strong, first partook of fine dinner
served by the domestic science de-
partment of Medina high school. The
menu consisted of fried chicken and
various other delicate and substantial
viands, served in excellent lyle by the
young ladies under Miss Rimes' direc-
tion. The way the pedagogs slowed
away all these delicacies and, like
Oliver Twist asked for more, would
have astonished anyone not familiar
with the gastronomic ability of teach
ers and preachers.
The meeting then adjourned to take
up the regular business of the evening
After considerable discussion the
schools were divided into four dis
tricts, each of which will hold COM
petitive contest, and from each Of
these contests two representatives will
be chosen by judges to represent the
district at the county meet.
| During January each high schoo
will hold its own local meet to choose
two contestants for the district meet
In February the district contests will
be held and in March the final for the
county championship will take place
