An official tabulation disclosed
that total of 4,679 new voters in
Montgomery county registered be-
fore midnight of Saturday, No
vember a, and thus became eligible
to participate in next November's
Presidential election. The registra-
ton which closed Saturday night
covered the period from November
18, 1888, through the latter date.
A breakdown of the tabulation
revealed that 3,540 of the new
voters affiliated themselves with
the Democratic Party. Of the re-
mainder, 1863 registered as Repub-
licans and 276 declined to state
any party utilization.
Leaders of the United Demo-
cratic Organization, which has
been extremely active during the
year in efforts to interest prospec-
tive voters, were jubilant over the
results of the registration. Spokes-
men of the group pointed out that
the tabulation revealed a net gain
for the Democrats of 2,677, which
added to the 1855 majority polled
by Representative William D.
Byron in the county last Novem-
Der, gives the party a prospective
majority of approximately 5000
for next years general election.
The registration was conducted
under the county's new system Of

Last Saturdays tornado, the Sc
verest in Bluffton's history, was the
first windstorm of major proportions
to strike this area since the first
Wednesday in September, 1913, when
a sudden storm left trail of death
and destruction through the prosper
Gus farming section two miles west
of town.
The tornado, which came up un-
expectedly about six o'clock in the
evening, devastated a strip about
200 yards wide through the farm
land in the vicinity of the Eben-
ezer church.
Clyde Bucher, nine-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gideon Bucher, who
lived south of the church, was a
victim of the storms violence. He
was struck by heavy timber when
the cattle shed in which he was
working collapsed, and died shortly
after being extricated from the
wreckage.

Allen county office holders last
week were warned by the board of
commissioners to slash expenditures
for the rest of the year. a
In a letter signed by Homer j.
Hilty, chairman of the board, those
in charge of the various county of
fees were told that there are no un-
appropriated funds with which de-
ficits may be met.
During the first six months OF
1889, it has been pointed out, ex-
penditures of individual county of
fees in some cases exceeded their
respective budgets by as much as SO
per cent.
The situation came to light last
week during conference of the AS
sociation of Commerce taxation COM
mittee with county commissioners
in which the committee stated it be-
ieved county budgets and tax rates
were excessive.

Tornado Here In 1918 Was Similar In
Violence To That OF Last Week

Property loss in the 1918 storm
was estimated at more than S1O,00O,
about half of which was covered by
the Richland Township Mutual and
the Mennonite Mutual Insurance So
cieties.
Marking the path of the tornado
were unroofed barns, houses swept
from their foundations, giant up
rooted trees, telephone and telegraph
poles snapped off near the ground
leveled corn fields and demolished
smaller outbuildings.
AS in last Saturdays storm, dura.
ton of the heavy wind was short
and the full force was exhausted ir
about three minutes.
Damage in the 1918 storm was
confined to a smaller area, however

danger from Indians had been re-
moved from northeastern Ohio by
the Treaty of Greenville, Cleave-
land still regarded it as strate-
gic step to bargain with the Iro-
quois for the territory in which
he planned to settle.
At Buffalo Creek he met with
representatives of the Six Nations
at their council fires and after an
exchange of fulsome compliments
and the smoking ofsthe peace pipe,
Cleaveland bought the Iroquois
claims to the Western Reserve for
SIS, 900, two head of cattle and
100 gallons of whiskey.
As result, for the first time
Ohio settlers entered the state
over the logical and easiest route,
namely, the shore of Lake Erie.
The Connecticut advance guard
travelled by land to Conneaut,
then by lake to the Cuyahoga, en-
tering first by mistake on the
way. river east of the Cuyahoga
which was subsequently called the
Chagrin.
On arrival at the site of the new
town, instruments were set up and
the surveyors began their ardu-
Gus task.
Settlement in the Western Re-
serve proceeded rapidly following
Cleaveland's expedition. Youngs-
town was founded in 1898; War
rem and Ravenna in 1899, and
other communities followed in
quick succession.
The people of Connecticut
brought to the Western Reserve a
distinct flavor of New England.
Some of the finest examples of
New England churches are to be
found in northeastern Ohio VIII
lagos, such as Twinsburg and
Tallmadge. These Connecticut
communities in Ohio all have
their public squares or commons.
Majestic trees shade the broad
streets-so that to one familiar
with Connecticut, the Western
Reserve is a bit of the old state.

County Officials Warned To
Slash Office Expenditures

ate in the reduction of expenditures
wherever possible, the commissioners,
however, challenged the associations
Interpretation of comparative county
expenses in 1885 and 1888.
The commissioners declared that
1886 cannot be taken as a model
economy year, since in that year
the county failed to pay approx
mately $4,000 due the state for the
care of institutional patients. This
sum reached total of $4,000 in
1888 before the county started pay
ments. Now current bills must be
met and at the same time some pay
ment must be made on those in ar
rears.
Also, in 1885, county bonds due in
October were not paid until after
the settlement of taxes, causing the
expenditure to appear as of 1886.
In addition, new laws have been
enacted since 1885 which make fur
ther spending mandatory, the COM
missioners said.
