M .DUMCUIIC PRESS. IUTenna, Wednesday, Nov. 38, 1894 The citizens of Portage County are appar ently on the eve of an important era. From present indications one or more lines of electric street railway will traverse various townships of the county, provided the Com' missioners grant the necessary franchise or right of way. The Press al way s favors legit ' imate progress, and we ieartily endorse the projects that promise so desirable a realiza tion as a system of street railways to our people. But, other things being equal, we re also in favor of recognizing home capital and home enterprise first, and if any choice is to be made by the Commissioners it would be but simple justice to favor our own people first. We are not opposing any company that desires the right of way in Portage Co. for such an enterprise, but if we are To have but one let it be the one proposed and pro moted, at least in part, by Portage County people. General Gibson Dead. General William Harvey Gibson, the sil ver-tongued orator, died at his home on Monument Square in the city of Tiffin, at 6 o'clock in the evening of November 22, 1894 He was a brave soldier, an able statesman a peerless orator, and although an ardent Republican, a man of the people and for the people. More such men in public life is what the country is in need of. Tub hearing of Judge Augustus L. Ricks, of the U. S. District Court, on the charge preferred against him by the Central Labor Union, of Cleveland, was begun Monday in that city. The allegations briefly summar ized, charge him with having defrauded the Federal Government out of $1,558.75, monies received by him while Clerk of said Court, which he converted to his own use and failed to account for. ." Other charges were prefer red Monday, by which the alleged shortage was increased to over $6,000. The Judge de nies all of the allegations and in his answer explains from his standpoint all of the ap parent errors in his accounts with the gov ernment. He is represented by Judge Ste phenson Burke, Judge W. B. Sanders, An- 1 drew Squire and Virgil P. Kline, Arnold Green, Esq., is counsel for the Union. Let justice be done and no one will have any right to complain. W. L. Douglas, of Brocton, Mass., the world-famed manufacturer of the Douglas $3.00 Shoe, has again evidenced his regard for his employes by providing for their free medical attendance and treatment. He says he recognizes the fact that doctor's bills are a hardship to the average laborer, and the furnishing of free medicall treatment to each employe not only relieves him of that much of the burden, but will enable him to consult a physician whenever he is in need of doing so something impossible to very many laboring people under present conditions. Mr. Douglas also believes in and practices arbitration for all industrial differences between himself and employes By the terms of the contract entered into between them, all such differences are sub mitted to the Massachusetts State Board of Arbitration, its decision to be final. Mr, Douglas is entitled to honorable mention for his action. TheT Icicle Oracle on tions. tbe Late Kieo Although John Sherman is not popular with, and indeed is not liked by the younger element of his party, who are attracted toward the sentimental and spectacular rath er than in the direction of sound statesman ahiD. vet amoncr the older and more thought ful Republicans he is justly regarded as one of their ablest and safest doctrinal exponents, and when he speaks not only they but polit ical economists of all parties listen. There is not today a Republican statesman to be compared with " Honest John." in point of real ability, erroneous as are some of his theories : and naturally enough the recogni tion of his merits comes very largely from the maturer and consequently more conserv ative of his oartv constituents and members. If there is one thins that Republicans laud Mr. Sherman for more than others it is his freedom from idle verbiage and political extremes, and when he talks ne aiwas nas thev sar. something sound, safe and prac tical to offer. It is therefore with peculiar til eat; lire that we present to that portion of our Republican readers the following sound, safe and practical utterances ot Mr. bner- man on the late elections, and respecting the bearing of the election on the silver ques tion. He says : "The landslide that has given the Repub i : w.l nf (ho TJmian riv nn ftypr whelming majority and perhaps the Senate by a small majority, is so widespread that I believe the cause is widespread.

They seem to get along better with us than they doamong themselves The ill-feeling created by this will undoubt edly by shown constantly during the rest of the term of this administration. I do not know exactly what to think of the result of this election as it bears on the silver question. I believe the silver sentiment has grown much stronger in the West and South but in the East generally, and in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois in particular, it is much weaker than it was either in 1890 and 1892. What bearing this may have on the campaign for President in 1896 I could not say, as I never attempt to make any prophesy in pontics. "WASHINGTON LETTER. From Our Regular Correspondent. niimniTnii. D. C. November 23, 1894. If the level-headed members of the party are allowed to have their way, and every T.i.,0- now seems to indicate that they will ,). is to be a radical change in the meth yl, niiraiied bv the democrats in Congress Instead of trying to commit the party to the nnnnrt of some measure and then having to hold a caucus to quiet the rumpus thus raised, as was done entirely too oiten at tne int session, it is proposed to hold the con ferences first in order that there may be no rumpuses to quiet. In other words, an at tempt is to be made to confine the washing of the dirty linen of the democracy to the privacy of the democratic laundry, and to prevent the nauseating process being gone through on the floor of the House. Every democrat who wishes for the future welfare of the party should certainly be able to give that attempt a hearty godspeed. Aye, and more; every democrat should indellibly mark upon his mind the names of those call ing themselyes democrats who shall oppose the proposed change, if there be any such, order that they may be denied future honors at the hands of the party. It is already known that bids for bonds, which will be opened tomorrow at the Treas ury department, are largely in excess of the amount of the bonds to be issued. This will aid Secretary Carlisle to carry out his inten tion to surprise some of those who have at tempted to defeat the sole object of the bond issue the addition of gold to the reserve or redemption fund by obtaining gold from the Treasury in exchange for Treasury notes in order to use it in making the first pay ment of 20 per cent on bonds they have bid for. The surprise will be to ienore the bids of all those who have obtained gold from the Treasury to pay on them, or as many of them as possible. Some of those who have taken gold from the Treasury for this purpose did so in violation of their pledged word. Judge Robinson, of Kansas City, at pres ent in Washington, thinks the unexpected tidal wave of republicanism landed many men in Congress who would never have been thought of in connection with the nomination had it been thought that they had the slight est chance of election. In this connection he says: "In Champ Clark's district, for instance, there seemed to be aesolutely no reason to doubt Mr. Clark's re-election, and the republicans nominated a music teacher against him. Champ ignored his adversary and went off speech-making in other parts of the State and in other States. Nobody dreamed the music man would win, and guess it's the first case on record where a 'gent' of that profession was sent to Con gress. I don't think, however, that he will be able to sing himself back again, for the democrats in Missouri are not going to be caught napping in 1695." Representative McMUlin, of Tennessee; does not claim prophetical field, but he is willing to put this language on record ; You mark my prediction, the republican party, even in its hour of triumph, will not dare to re-enact the McKinley law nor to adopt a national platform in the next cam paign which advocates doing so. Protection for protection's sake has been twice con demned at the polls since the enactment of the Mckinley lawj and it has not been resus- itated by the recent republican victory." Mr. McMUlin believes that when the official fig ures are tabulated it will be shown that the total republican vote of '94 was less than that of '92, when Harrison was defeated for Pres ident and the democrats elected nearly as many members of the House as the republi cans did this year. President Cleveland had the misfortune to slightly Bprain one of his ankles this week, and in consequence the town was full of the wildest rumors; It is a little painful, but not enough so to interfere with his work on his annual message, which now absorbs his time day and night, although, if gossip can be relied upon, he probably takes time occa sionally to devote a thought or two to the young stranger who is expected in his house hold about the time the early spring flowers begin to bloom. Senator Blackburn, chairman of the Sen ate committee on Rules, has arrived in Washington. He says that no meeting of the committee will be called before Congress meets, although it was given authority at the last session to sit during the recess. This is taken to mean that the idea of changing the rules has been abandoned. Indian Territory affairs are giving the ad ministration considerable trouble just now, and it will not be surprising should the pres ent U. S. Marshal of the Territory lose his official head. He is blamed here for not stamping out the lawlessness. Tne Farmer's Champion.

Addison Lewis has got his new house enclosed and floors laid, provisions in the cellar, and living in the house all done since the middle of October. The High School scholars have learned that they have no boy to deal with, if the teacher rather email, at least not a six-footer, and the conclusion is that when they disobey, or refuse to comply with the reasonable rules, that they will leave all possible distance between him and them. At all events they will remember that he can pull his coat and doff his cuffs on short no tice, and that they have still a neck to choke until they cry enough and I will behave, and ask his forgiveness.

One of the greatest financial surprises in the history of Ravenna was the announce ment, Monday, of the failure of the well known grocery house of . F. Deming. Men refused at first to credit the statement, but it proved to be true, nevertheless. The assignment was made after business hours, Saturday night, to J. H. Dussel, Esq., of this city. The causes leading up to the suspension were too many liabilities demanding imme diate payment, and inadequate available means to meet them, because of too much leniency in granting and continuing credit to customers. The assets and liabilities are not definitely known at present, and it will require several days before any accurate statement can be made. The reverses of this long established house that necessitated such a step, are matters of universal regret among our citizens, among whom Mr. Deming has lived for upwards of thirty years, during all of which time his name has been a synonym for business hon or and integrity. Mr. Deming has devoted a lifetime to the establishment and conduct of the business which now in his old age he is obliged to discontinue. During all the years that Ensign F. Dem ing has waited on the Ravenna public he has enjoyed the high respect and esteem due to a man of his qualities and traits of character. He is the oldest living grocer in Ravenna, and one of the oldest business men of the place. Death of Mrs. J. C. Noble. Mrs. J. C. Noble passed from earthly life Monday night, November 26th, 1894, at 10:30 o'clock, at the home of her brother, O. V. Searl, on North Meridian street, this city She was convalescing from a severe attack of pneumonia, which had prostrated her several weeks previously, when she suffered an ex tensive paralysis, from which her enfeebled vitality could not recaperate, and the patient, gentle spirit went to its reward. Funeral services will be held Friday, at 2 o'clock p. m., from the house, Rev. W. G, Schoppe officiating. The burial will be pri vate, Maple Grove being the place of final interment. Sophia J. Searl was the oldest daughter and child of Asahel H. and Sophia Skiff Searl, and was born in Otisco, Onondaga Co., N. Y in 1826. Her parents and several of the children moved to Windham, this county, in 1849, and two years later the daughter fol lowed them. Here she was married in 1852 to J. C. Noble, where they resided several years. They subsequently moved to his father's farm, in Freedom township, where they lived for 20 years, until the death of her husband. There also they took faithful care of his parents and her father, the latter of whom died there. On the death of her husband, Mrs. Noble came to Ravenna to live with her brother, O.V. Searl, and to assume the maternal nurture and trainingof his chil dren, who had shortly before been bereaved of a mother's loving care. Here she lived until her days of mortality were fulfilled, per forming with tender fidelity the duties of her new responsibility and devoting herself to the comfort and well being of others. She was a woman of amiability, refinement and Tin- selfishness. Her attachment to the children whom she watched over with constant solici tude, was peculiarly strong and affectionate. In This one particular she rendered a service that will hallow the memory of her earth life to those who were the recipients of her un selfish devotion. Her life may be 6aid to have been a sacrifice for the interests of others, She was an earnest member of the Congre gational Chnrch of this city, uniting by letter from the Church in Freedom, under the pas torate of the late Rev. C. A. Stone. - She was thoroughly interested in all Church work, particularly in that of the missionary depart ment. Her life and gentle ways endeared her to all and she leaves a name that will remain enshrined in the hearts of very many friends. -Alva B. Habtxe, one of the respected farmer residents of the township, died sud denly at his home on the Sandy Lake road, about two miles southwest of this village, Thursday evening, shorily after 8 o'clock, of heart trouble. He had been in town in the earlier part of the day, returning home about 1:30 in the afternoon, and making preparations for a business trip to Brimfield Center the follow ing morning. He retired about 8 o'clock, and shortly afterward called to his wife, who, hastening to his side, found him in a state of physical helplessness. In a very few mo ments following this he expired. Although Mr. Hartle had for many years been afflicted with a distressing asthma, the immediate cause of his death was undoubt edly heart failure. His funeral Was held Sunday at 1 o'clock, from the home, Rev. Smeadley, of Kent, a Lutheran Divine, officiating. The remains were taken to Maple Grove to await inter ment Alva B. Hartle was born in Rootstown town ship, Portage county, Ohio, November 21, 1821, and had therefore nearly realized the first day in his 74th year. He was a life-long resident of the County, and had lived on the farm where he died known as the R. B Witter I arm ever since purcnasing it in 1875. He was married to Alvira Likens, of Ravenna township, who, with five children, survive him. Two other children George and Agnes are deceased. The surviving children are Mrs. Susan Williard and Mrs. Emma L. Newton, wife of Hon C. B. New ton, both of Kent; Mrs. Cora Lindh and Mrs. Mary Davis, of Pittsburg, and J. W. Hartle, who lives on the farm. Mr. Hartle was an industrious citizen, a good neighbor and faithful friend, and a man of sturdy character in his performance of life's duties as he saw them. He was sin cere in his conduct, honest in his relations with his fellow-men and open in his actions. In the ledger of his life will be found many entries creditable to his manhood and worthy of lasting remembrance. In politics he was a life-long Democrat. The funeral was largely attended. Rev. Smeadley, the officiating clergyman, made some excellent remarks, which he prefaced by saying that he was not there to deliver any eulogy or to pronounce any judgments. " I am not here to talk to the dead," said he, "but to the living. The destiny of the deceased is forever fixed. His life record is known to you, friends and neighbors. If he had virtues, emulate them. If he had faults (and what mortal has not?), shun them. So live as to be prepared at all times for the summons that some day, some time, will come to us all. Death has no terrors for those who live aright." It was a discourse of comforting thought and valuable admo nition. Lovers of all that is new and up to date in stage production, are in pleasant anticipa tion regarding the promised play at Reeds' Opera House on Monday evening next, of what is considered the most realistic stage representation in the centnry, entitled "The Limited Mail." Not only is the stage mech anism, the most wonderful ever attempted, but the company, headed by the graceful Beatrice', and the play itself, is one of the strongest produced in years.

The history of the Buckeye Chaie estab lishment has been that of steady develop ment ever since its location in Ravenua. We have had occasion mauy times to call attention to the additions and increased facil ities made to the plant, and it is now our pleasure to mention still further evidences of the proprietors, Messrs. Flick & Cham- berlin. Across the road, east from the main build ing, workmen are busily engagea in com pleting a sawmill that will soon be in active operation. The advantages resulting to the company from being able to saw out their own material from the log will be obviously important, while at the same time the town and country will profit alike in the establish ment of a market for logs at this place. Oak, cherry and maple are the principle varieties used, although there is a limited demand for various other kinds of wood in the manufac ture of chairs. The new mill will have a capacity of 6,000 to 8,000 feet per day. The entire plant has just been equipped for steam heating and electric lighting, the dynamo machine for the latter being of Kent manu facture and claimed to possess greater pro portionate power than any on the market. This is the climax of the busy season in getting out chairs for the holidays, and a visit to the various departments revealed a continuous rush of activity. The company are getting out a very beautiful line of ma hogany goods and are making a magnificent line of sitters for the New York Exposition, which will be opened about January 1st and continue several weeks. Mr. r Iick will oe there during the entire exhibit. The Buckeye seems to be advancing along the lines of legitimate attainment toward the acme of competitive success. Another no less gratifying feature of the location of this industry in Ravenna is the identification of its proprietors with the in terests of the place. They are thorough Ravennians. Unlike the owners of the Quaker mills, they are here as citizens of the town, concerned in its prosperity and interested in its future attainments. Raven na is not only their place of business but it is their home. These facts are significant and well worthy of serious mention. Business at the Sad Ibok works continues good. The concern ships on an average one carload of sadirons and holiday goods per day. The pay roll numbers about 90 names and by January 1st it is thought it will con tain 100 or more. This is rapidly taking its place as one of the "best establishments of the city. At the Globe Carbon Works arrange ments are being made, under the direction of John A. McGowan, of Chicago, to test the burning or baking of the carbons with gas generated from crude petroleum by contact with superheated steam and hot air, through the process of the apparatus made by the Doan Gas Producer Co., of 1417 Monnada- nock building, Chicago. If the test proves successful the entire plant will proba bly be fitted up for the use of the new fuel. The test will, it is thought, be made in about three weeks. o The Mishler Tile Works are busy as usual. While trade in tile is light7an order from Baltimore for a carload of the hollow ware was received while we were making a tour of the manufactory. Orders for ceme tery posts continue good. Preparations for the future manufacture of marbles by the process recently invented and patented by Mr. Mishler, are being quietly made. At the north of the .main building a pug mill is being constructed for preparing the clay de signed for making marbles. 0 The Ravenna Shoe Comaany has de veloped a business that furnishes constant employment for about 100 hands. Their trade for the past year has been large and steady, and by careful attention to the qual ity and make of their goods a first class rep utation for Ravenna shoes has been estab lished in every part of the country. The business has been developed on solid lines of business conduct, and it is but reasona ble to anticipate still better and larger re sults at the end of the next year. o While there is nothing of extraordinary or unusual development at the John F. Byers establishment, the orders still con tinue very good and the institution is kept busy with full force an3. time to fill them. The Co. are at present working exclusively on hoists. O The Ravenna Boiler Works are still ham mering out boilers, and good ones, too. Mr. Riddle did a good thing when he secured this industry for Ravenna through his gen erous donation of land. 0 The Star Handle people are enjoying a good trade and are operating their factory Bteadily. Ravenna Council No. 376, R. A., gave a pleasant and well attended Social Thursday evening, at their hall in Sontum block. The evenings entertainment began about eight o'clock, the call to order being made by G. R.Braden, Regent. This was followed by a selection from the Male Quartette, ' The Moon is Brightly Beaming, Love." An in teresting address from the Orator, E. W. Maxson, Esq. In the course of his remarks he mentioned a few historical items relative to the Order at large and Ravenna Council in particular, that are worthy of reproduc tion. The Order was organized in Boston, Mass., June 23, 1877. There are 1578 subor dinate Councils in the country. Assessment No. 1 realized $3,004.68. Assessment No. 200, called August 1, 1894, realized over $263,000. There were 197 assessments in 17 years. The death benefits paid to Aug. 21, 1894, amounts to $28,096,502.20. Ravenna Council was organized in August 1879, and at present a membership of 124. It has paid insurance of $3,000 respectively on the lives of 12 of its members, as follows: Charles E. Beaver, Johnson Glazier, G. P. Reed, D. B. Lawrence, Fred L. Clement, E. R. Wait, C. D. Hughes, N. P. Catlin, Odin L. Pryor. Harvey Waterman, Henry R. Coe, Edmund Twitt, The Quartette then rendered " Time will Roll the Clouds Away," and "Old Robin Ruff," the latter being in responce to an en core, then came light refreshments, after which the company enjoyed themselves at progressive euchre during the remainder of the evening. Another Social will be given on the eve ning of December 27th. The event of the season the Quilting Party, next Wednesday evening. The School ma-am, the Village Beauties, the City Folks, the Deacons, Old Maid, and lots of others will be there. An alarm of fire was sent in from the P. & W. depot yesterday afternoon, by G. W. My ers, manager of the Ravenna Exchange, who happened to be near there. The grass in the lot adjacent to the residence of the late Au gust Urban was fired by a C. & P. engine, and was thought to be approaching danger ously near the building. The four members left to the fire department, reinforced by a large contingent of citizen volunteers, hur ried to the scene with the hose cart and oth er apparatus. There was no damage done by the fire. An alarm from the same place for the same cause, was sent in during the year 1893. STREETSBOBO. An entertainment will be given in the Baptist Church on the evening of December 6th, under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. of this place. Harry Carl is visiting in Hiram and Gar rettsville. C. W.

The causes leading up to the reverses cul minated last Friday night. Mr. Peck has been a merchant and business man of Streets boro during the years of his commercial ac tivity. His father, the late Henry Peck, founded the business house at Streetsboro Center that has been conducted so many years, first under the firm name of Henry Peck, then Henry Peck & Son, and at his death, N. D. Peck. After his father's de cease Mr. Peck assumed the business and obligations of his father, the latter of which it is thought contributed to his failure. He owned two farms, comprising 300 acres, and owned and operated the year round, the large cheese factory at Streetsboro Center His milk patrons were numerous and he al ways paid them promptly the 12th of each month, the amount averaging from $1,000 to $1,500. Some days ago he made a deposit for that purpose in the City Bank of Kent, but scarcely had he done so when the money was attached by a creditor, who holds a mortgage on one of his farms, thus prevent ing his using the money for the purpose in tended. Mr. Feck then turned over all his available personalty to his milk patrons, who were thus made preferred creditors. It is understood that his son, Harry Peck, has purchased the store and will continue the business. The news of his misfortune will be learned with regret by the many friends of Mr. Peck throughout the county. NOTICE! We have prepared Coke for Furnaces and Base Burners. See us before buying.

The members of a theatrical com pany, traveling through Lake George on their way to Canada, were comment ing upon the grandeur of the scenery, when the train came to a standstill. One of the men, becoming impatient, ventured out and upon his return was asked the cause of the delay. "Well," he replied, "a piece of the scenery has fallen across the track." Life. Undoubtedly Foolish. "Yes, she is very foolish sometimes." "What evidence has she ever given of being foolish?"
