WATCH
Studded With Jewels
Stolen From Ex-President
Karrisson.
Said to be Buried Near
This City.
Strange Story of Prisoner at
Knoxville.
Frank Wilson Is Known to Akron
Authorities.
A -watch valued at $1,000, stolen
from the residence of ex-President
Harrison at Indianapolis five years
ago, is buried near this city.
This is the story of Frank "Wilson,
an all around burglar and crook, un
der arrest at Knoxville, Tenn. He
was taken into custody in that city
Sunday afternoon. In a confession
made to the Chief of Police of Knox
ville, he made a remarkable offer.
He said he would conduct the official
to the spot where the watch was
buried, provided he was ieleaed
from the charge now hanging over
him.
A special from Knoxville says :
"Frank Wilson, said to be a noted
crook, was arrested here Sunday on
a charge of burglary. In a consulta
tion with Chiof of Police Reeder he
volunteered, in exchange for his
freedom, to conduct the chief to the
place where is secreted the famous
watch stolen from ex-President Har
rison fire years ago. The watch was
presented by the senate at the expi
ration of Harrison's term. It was
diamond studded, the center stone
. .being valued at $400. The time piece
""is worth more than $1,000 and a
jhach larger reward is outstanding.
"Wilson had on his possession a
diagram of a place near Akron,
; Ohio, where, he says, the watch was
buried by a partner soon after it was
stolen and the original thief did not
, reveal Its place of concealment until
a few months ago on his deathbed.
Wilson was making his way to the
place when he was arrested here.
He will not be released until Chief
Reeder has the prize safe in his
hands."
In consultation with the Akron
1 authorities it was learned that a war
rant was issued for Frank Wilson's
arrest, in this city, in 1898. He is
charged with a felony. The details
of the crime were never made known.
He hails from Chicago and is con
sidered a dangerous man. Wilson's
partner died several years ago. At
one time the Akron officers were
close on to him and but for an acci
dent would have arrested the man.
The Nashville authorities have not
rxommnnicated with the Akron
officers in reference to the matter.
"Before Mr. Archer had played a
dozen bars it became apparent to the
audience that they were in the pres
ence of no ordinary organist, but were
listening to an altogether phenome
nal genius, whose style was as dis
tinctive as that of Franz Liszt on the
piano. The audience was enrap
tured." American Art Journal. At

day evening, Oct. 4th.

DEVICE
For Carrying Molten
Metal From Furnace.
Will be Manufactured Extensively In
This City Hay's Patent.
The device for carrying metal from
the furnace to molds, patented sev
eral years ago by Joseph M. Hays,
foreman of the foundry department
of the Aultman, Miller & Company
plant, will in a short time be manu
factured extensively. This contri
vance, which is a great convenience,
doing away with the old plan of
carrying molten metal about in
ladles, is so arranged that it carries
the metal overhead to any part of the
molding room and deposits it with
ease wherever wanted. Several foun
dries are now using the device with
great success.
Ira M.Miller, secretary Aultman,
Miller & Company, is interested in
in the patent with Mr. Hays. They
will soon form a company for the
manufacture of the article. The
manufacturing will likely be done at
the Aultman, Miller & Company's
plant.

SPIRIT
Of Engineer Ross Ap
peared at Seance.
Says He Met Death by Being Struch
With a Stone.
Readers will recall the tragic death
of George Ross of Galion, engineer
of the Erie road, who was kil led
about a year ago at the Old Forge by
being struck on the head with what
remains a mystery. Considerable
sensation was aioused, aud it was
rumored that arrests would be made
of people suspicioned with the mur
der. 4
The matter has been forgotten un
til in Cleveland a few nights ago a
great spiritualist meeting was being
held. Prominent mediums were
there, and spirit after spirit was an
nounced to be present, and messages
were given.
Just when the meeting was clos
ing a medium announced another
spirit. "I am George Ross of Galion
who was killed at Akron. I was
struck on the head with a stone
which was the cause of death," and
then the spirit vanished.
This is considered strange from
the fact that the medium who gave
the reading had never heard of Ross.
The incident has caused considerable
stir at Galion.
BAD MEN.

Charles Ross' saloon at 203 North
Howard street was invaded Monday
night by three Virginia negroes, who,

clean out the joint," when Mrs. Ross
came down stairs. As she entered
the saloon a pop bottle almost struck
her in the head. It was thrown by
one of the negroes. By this time
Charles Ross was angry, and grab
bing his revolver, he shot at the col
ored fellows. They hastened away.

Many People Think They Have Heart
Disease.
"My husband and I used to drink
Mocha and Java coffee at 40 cents a
pound. We made it strong and al
ways had it for breakfast; sometimes
in cold weather for luncheon and
dinner. A form of heart disease
came on to both of us. Husband
complained of his heart missing a
beat sometimes and that be could
not sleep after drinking coffee for the
six o'clock dinner. I had pains at
the heart and very peculiar smother
ing sensation, frequently accompan
ied with sick headache. My physi
cian forbid the use of coffee and we
were put on Postuni Food Coffee,
with the result that both husband
and myself have fully regained our
health and our hearts are all right
and perfect now.
"I have reached such perfection in
making Postum that husband cannot
tell either by look or taste whether
lie is drinking fine coffee or Postum
aud he is a connoisseur in coffee. Wo
drink Postum two or three times a
day and it never palls on our taste.
"A good many people make Pos
tum in a very slipshod manner; that
is, they dash a little into the coffee
pot and let it bubble up a little while
and serve it, but that makes the
flattest kind of a drink. On the con
trary, when four heaping teaspoons
to the pint of water are used and the
Postum allowed to boil fully 15 min
utes after the boiling begins (not
counting after it Is put on the stove
but after tho real boiling begins)
then one obtains a beverage that is
worth while.
"I have no objections to your using
my name." Mrs. J. M. Courtright,
800 Third St., S., Minneapolis, Minn.
Postum is sold by all first-class grocers.

and statement to the Boaid of City
Commissioners
"To the honorable, the City Commis-
-nnt A- f , ., -.,.1 ..,.

fective The
Alden Was
Ordinance.
De-
George W. Alden's case of dirorder
conduct wan not dismissed in Police
court Monday for want of evidence,
but because the affidavit was defec
tive. Tiie court expressly held that
Chiof of JPolice Harrison in arresting
Mr. Alden did not "over step the
bounds of his authority, but did just
what it was his his duty to do. The
ordinance tinder which Mr. Alden
was prosecuted says:
"That who ever shall willfully con
duct himself in a noisy, rude, insult
ing or ciisoruoriy manner towuru any
other person, with the niteii, to abuse
or annoy, such person shall be guilty
of an offense."
Thonffluavit failed to state that
the acts complained of wore done by
Mr. Alden with the intent-to annoy
or abuse. This being one of the ma
terial elements of the offense, the
court held that it was necessary to
allege It in the affidavit.

Monday Night's Session.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New
York, chairman of the national com
mittee on organization, addressed the
Women Suffragists in convention at
the Universalist church, Monday
night.
"Fifty years ago," she said, "it
required a woman of keen nerve to
stand before an audience and advo
cate this cause ; to-day it requires no
nerve at all." She reviewed the his
tory of woman's suffrage. It origi
nated in France over a century ago,
just after the revolution.
its seea was sown in America in
181S in Seneca Falls, N. Y. She re
lated the steady growth, saying that
at present women were permitted to
oto in 6 states of the union.
Mrs. Catt told a very interesting
story about Dr. Buckley, editor of
tho Motnouist. unristiau .auvocarooi
Now York. When that eminent gen
tleman was at Chautauqua he con
ducted a question box. Tho table
was covered with the slips ho had

Suffrage. Mrs. Catt took it for grant
ed that the "chestnut" would some
day get ripe. That time has arrived,
6he believes.
In a concise way she related how
men had invaded the sphere of wo
men. Inventions by men have taken
a good deal of the work formerly
done by women away from them.
These inventions left women idle.
The exchange of occupation is re
sponsible for women and girls now
doing the work of men. Out of 322
occupations, women serve in all save
six.
Mrs. Catt is a very forcible talker.
She mingled her address with many
anecdotes. Her talk was concluded
by an able plaa for ' Woman's
.Bights."
Address of VVe'come
The convention opened at 7:30
o'clock with invocation by Rev. A.
B. Church, who also delivered an
address of welcome.
He extended the delegates a very
cordial welcome; and invited them to
visit our -city schools, Buchtel col
lege, city institutions and factories.
He referred to Akron as a great city
for push and politics, saying, "I
think we nced-you here; you ought
to iret a ueew at our city hall."
A few remarks were also made by
Mrs. Harriet Brown Stanton, of Cin
cinnati, state president, and Miss
Mary G. Hay, of California.
Equal Rights Resolution.
The following resolutions were
adopted Monday afternoon:
"To the United States Senate and
House of Representatives:
"Whereas, the trend of civilzation
is clearly in the direction of equal
rights for women, and
"Whereas equal suffrage is no
loncrer an experiment but has been
clearly demonstrated as beneficial
to society,
"Therefore be it resolved by the
Ohio State Woman Suffrage Asso
ciation in convention assembled
that, as justice demands that we
shall not offer to women emerging
from barbarism, the ball and chain
of a sex disqualification, while we
hold out to men tho crown of self
government, we respectfully request
that the Senate ana iouse oi litpre
sentatives of the Unite States omit
the word 'male' in the qualification
for voters In tho proposed constitu
tions for the new territories of
Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
"And be it further resolved, that
we respectfully request that congress
submit a proposition to the several
state legislatures for a sixteeutii
amendment to the constitution of the
United States forbiddiug disfran
chisement on account of sex."
Officers Eloctcd.
