After a day spent In wrangling the
Youngstown labor convention mem
bers adjourned Saturday without en
dorsing anybody. Although Congress
man Kennedy was present ho was re
pudiated for his vote on the eight
hour law in a fierce speech by M.
Grant Hamilton, personal representa
tive of Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor.
Down In Holmes county a farmer
bought a can of Boston baked pork
and beans at a grocery store and upon
taking the stuff home and opening it
found a set of false teeth mixed up
with the beans. Of course the con
tents of the can had a warm reception
from the garbage barrel. People
working around canning factories
should leave their store teeth at home.
According to the detailed statement
of financial transactions for the year
ending August 31, filed by the county
commissioners and as published in the
News last Saturday, it will be observed
that the amount expended by the com
missioners for the Stark county work
house during the last year is some
thing like $15,000. No statement of
receipts realized from the institution
is shown in the report.
About the first thing that happened
In Xenla after the saloons were open
ed up, under the provision of tho
Aikln law, was for the first lieutenant
of the local military company to get
drunk and issue orders to the privates
to prepare at once for a trip to Cuba.
Before the "boys" had their guns
cleaned up the lieutenant had been
jailed and the trip was postponed.
Further inquiry developed the fact
that no orders had been received by
the officer for war preparations.
PRIMARY QUESTION WILL GO TO
THE COURTS.
Attorneys Turner and Pomeren&
havo rendered an opinion for the
board of elections to the effect thai
the expenses of the second Republican
primaries, to be held next Saturday
for the nomination of a congressman
are legal and that the expenses of the
same, amounting to thousands of dol
lars, must be borne by the taxpayers.
The section of the law which they
base their opinion on is as follows:
"Sec. 291C. When any voluntary po
litical association or party, in any
county, township or municipal corpo
ration, by a vote of a majority of its
executive or controlling committee,
certifies under oath by its chairman
and secretary, shall cause notice of
the selection of party candidates, com
mitteemen, delegates, or alternates to
any party convention to be published,
and shall make application therefor
to the deputy state supervisors of elec
tions or board of deputy state super
visors and inspections of elections as
the case may be, of such county, all
as hereinafter provided, such primary
election shall be held and conducted
under the provisions of this chapter."
The section of the law quoted, how
ere, does not contemplate the selec
tion of district candidates. It does
recognize the selection of delegates to
district conventions, however, but In
the calls issued In the various coun
ties, no delegates are to be chosen, it
Is understood that the courts will be
obliged to pass upon the matter before
Auditor Oberlin will honor any war
rants drawn on the county for tho
payment of the expenses. And he is
right, too. If a check was not put on
by some official with backbone the of
fice seeking politicians of the county
might demand a primary election for
the nomination of somebody for some
petty office every jeek and let the
farmers pay the bills. Tho taxpayers
of tho county, who have the bills to
pay will, according to all reports, car
ry the matter to tho polls, as Auditor
Oberlin Is backed in his determination
to turn down the bills by the Farm
ers' association of the county.

SULTAN
SURVIVORS
Plans Nearly Completed for the Mon
ument to the Memory of tho
Victims.
Ex-Sheriff J. J. Zaiser has Just re
turned from a meeting of the Sultana
monument commission land reports
that architects are now at work on de
signs for the selection of tho commis
sion as soon as possible. The meet
ing was held In Pittsburg Saturday,
September 22, after which a tour of
tho granite regions was mndo and al
so several large cities visited for the
purpose of deciding on the style of
monument and the material to be
used.
After the meeting the commission
went to Now York where they visited
tho bronze metal plants, and inspect
ed tho many different styles of monu
ments. While there Mr. Zaiser was
fortunate in meeting several old
friends who took them in tow during
their brief stay. They visited Boston
on the same mlssiop, going from there
to Burlington, Vt.,,and up to Barry,
Vt., which is in tho midst of the gran
ite region. They spent several days
among the quarries and saw granite
of every shade. While there they
took the opportunity of visiting tho
Green Mountains and one of the party
cut a cane which he took home with
him.
While they were traveling solely on
business with a very limited time they
report the trip one of the most in
teresting and one well worth taking.
They traveled altogether at night,
making observations through tho day
and by so doing made the trip in
record breaking time.
The monument is to be erected in
memory of tho men of Ohio who lost
their lives in the explosion of the ill
fated steamer Sultana by which 1700
lives were wiped out, and only 500
escaped.
Of the 1700, fully two-thlrde were
from Ohio, the rest being frdm Indi
ana, Michigan, Tennessee and one
man from New York.
All the states represented are con
templating similar memorials but as
Ohio had tho largest representation,
they have been waiting for this state
to make the initiative. For this pur
pose the sum of $15,000 has been ap
propriated and as soon as our monu
ment is completed, the rest will make
an effort to have their legislatures
make similar legislation In honor ot
their dead.
The monument will be erected In
the southwest corner of tho state
house grounds Jn a triangular Bpace
made by the walks and will face High
street. It will bo of granite and will
be 18 by 14 feet at thebase and 28
feet In height. On one side will be a
bronze plate showing the Sultana in
the explosion. Facing this and stand
ing on a pedestal at the base will be
a figure of grief. On the opposite side
will be a bronze tablet with the names
of all the Ohio comrades who lost
their lives in the explosion Inscribed.
This Is all that has been definitely
decided on, but for the summit an urn
shaped ornament of bronze with an
ever burning light signifying that
ther memory will ever bo kept alive,
has been spoken of, but this will be
definitely decided on receipt of the
plans on which several New York
architects are now working, and will
be submitted to the inspection of the
commission as soon as possible. Work
will be started on the monument early
next spring and will be hurried to
completion .
Tho men who have been honored by
this trust by their, appointment to the
commission are all well qualified, all
having rendered their services during
the war, while two of them were
among the fortunate few who escaped
from tho ill-fated steamer alive.
They are Dr. W. P. Madden, of
Xenia, and ex-Sheriff John J. Zaiser
of this city, who are the survivors, and
L. J. Cutter of Marietta, O., who was
captured during the war and thrown
into one of the southern prisons. He
is now county commissioner of Wash
ington county.

I Bagging A Bear.
Grunt! grunt! gruntl
That was nothing to alarm a boy
of twelve, although tho half-wild
pigs that swnrmed tho woods wero
dangerous enemies if one of their
number happened to glvo out a sig
nal of distress. They wero all in good
humor now, for the acorns wero
thick upon the ground.
A plentoous crop of chestnuts
caused equal rojolclng In tho boy's
heart. Ho had copie a long way Into
tho woods so that ho might bo be
yond the reach of general competi
tion, and gather his nuts unmolest

consequently ho struck for tho best
Tho bear and tho bag.
grounds ho knew of. What did It
matter that ho had so much farther
to carry his load home? Chestnuts
wero $1.75 a bushel and Saturday
came only once a week.
But when the sun was leaving tho
tree-tops above him and getting tan
gled up among those to the west, tho
boy began to realize that he had
rather a largo job on hand to tako
that iwo-bushcl bag nearly full of
nuts homo before dark. In fact it
seemed to be an actual Impossibility,
for he could not even lift the load.
Loath to leave his, hard day's work
behind, ho resorted In an absont
minded sort of way to tho boy's
remedy for all difficulties, his pock
ets Ho found there nothing more
promising than a lot of stout linen
cord, and, rather as a pastime than
from any serious purpose, he began
to knot this Into a rude harness, one
end of which ho attached to the bag
of nuts. It was no use. Tug as ho
would at the other end, he could not
draw the bag any distance.
Gruntl grunt! gruntl
It occurred to him that the pigs
weio disappearing pretty rapidly, as
though afraid of something. No ono
was near him and tho last of tho
herd as it disappeared from sight In
tho woods was scampering in unmis
takablo panic. What did it mean?
Grunt! Grunt! Just behind him;
but this was one of quite another
tono; It was not n pig. Turning hast
ily ho saw a young bear, about two
thirds grown, looking curiously at
him through tho bushes.
Some boys would havo been terri
bly frightened; but this sturdy llttlo
fellow had it from tho lips of old
hunters that black bears are seldom
d: ngerous unless threatened or very
hungry; whilo a cub Is about as'
good-natured and playful as a pup
py Perhaps tho bear had had simi
lar instructions In regard to boys.
At least neither undertook to re
treat, though neither ventured nny
closer. Tho bear was between tho
boy and his home; very likely the
boy was between tho bear and his,
But meetings of this aort become
croburrassing and, to vary the situa
tion, tho boy finally did retreat a lit
tle way, although it took him farther
back Into tho woods.
The bear at once advanced, and
tho boy retreated farther. This
brought the bear to whefc tbo bag of
chestnuts stood, and being of an In
quiring disposition, he sniffed over It
a few minutes, and then cuffed It
with hiB paw to Bee if it wero alive.
It fell upon Its side, and the bear re
tired, somewhat startled at this unex
pected movement; but ho finally re-'
turned and bogon a rough and tum
ble fight with his dumb adversary, as
a kitten would attack a. ball of yarn,
Then ho bounded away again.
Now, It so happened that Jn his
antics ho had got tangled la tho
string harness, so that when ho
sprung away tho bag sprung aftor
him. Herq was a protty kettle of

with a bound that landed It upon the
bear.
Bruin resented this; or, moro llko
ly, thinking that his time had coino,
ho resolved to did fighting. For just
ono minute the air was full ot boar,
bag, growls and chestnuts; and then
a black streak Into tho woods showed
whero tho bear, at last freed from
the strings, was making a hasty
homeward trip,
After ho was gone, tho boy came
