"If I were in favor of Imperialism, I would want the genuine article a real, true Emperor, and not a politi cal boss." ' When asked what he thought of Mark Hanna, in politics, Mr. Wer ner said: " I do not care to express myself relative to Mr. Hanna, but I have no doubt he is a very useful man to the Administration." "What kind of a-platform would you like to stand od?" Mr. Werner was asked. "Oh, platforms really do not count for much," was his answer. "I am in favor of municipal ownership of street car systems, telephone sys tems, water works and gas plants; and I am opposed to the granting of franchises to monopolies owning these necessary public institutions at the present time." Speaking of trusts, Mr. Werner said: "Bad and dangerous trusts will kill themselves. Give them plenty of rope and they will hang them selves without fail. Many trusts are now increasing the price of a great many articles all of which will prove to be a great disadvantage to many people, and temporarily of great advantage to the few; and these are the reasons why such trusts will eventually come to grief. They will be wrecked on the rock of pub lic opinion and the just and fair sense of the majority of the Ameri can people." LATE PERSONAL.

They said that Mrs. Cramer was old enough to be Fell's mother and that the young man had never given any evidence of paying her more than the ordinary amount of attention. The stories reached the ears of Fall's parents and his father began a quiet investigation. He found that they had left on the same train and that their tickets were for Sum mersville, Tenn. Mr. Fall sr. im mediately puichased transportation to the same place. Near there he found his son and Airs. Cramer. They were apparently hap py. The father has not returned. It is said that when he does come his son will be brought nlong. Being a minor young Fall is still under the control of hU father. The elope ment has resulted in much excite ment in the village.

O'lMEIL-A CO Watson's Cold Reception Over In Portage County. A great many of Akron's old sol diers received invitations to attend a conference ot the headquarters of the Republican County Executive Committee Thursday night. The invitations read as follows: "My Dear Sir: "You are earnestly requested to attend a conference meeting at Re publican headquarters this Thurs day evening at 7:30 p.m. to consider a matter of much interest to old sol diers and the Republican party. The work to be considered is connected with the Foraker meeting to be held in view of certain statements made in the Democratic press, and we wish to take some definite action. "Do not fail to be with us this evening. "Yours truly, "E. W. Stuabt, "Chairman." Twenty old soldiers called at head quartors in response to the invita- turns, anxious, no doubt, to learn I what terrible secret was implied by the clumsily worded and mysterious clause : "The work to be considered is connected with the Foraker meet ing to be held in view of certain statements made in the Democratic press," etc. The result of the conference was that withiu the next few days every old soldier in Summit county will receive notice that they have been appointed vice presidents of the Foraker meeting, Enclosed will be a gaudy badge, on which will bo em blazoned in tawdry gilt edge letters thejwords, "Vice President." Tne campaign managers estimated Thursday night that they could work 500 veterans into the service by the liberal use of badges. Some idea of the enthusiasm of Republicans in Portage county can be gained from the following Raven na special to the Cleveland Press : "Hon. D. K. Watson of Columbus, was absigned to do campaign duty in the county, Wednesday and Thurs day evenings. He arrived Wednes day, in ill humor, because the coun ty committee here had ignored dis patches sent by him, asking for in structions, but filled his date at Aurora. The meeting was a frost, and Watson got mad. He read the riot act to Chairman Sperra, and said that in all his 25 years of cam paigning he had not received worse usage than here. Then be canceled the meeting for Charlestown, for Thursday evening, and shook the dust of Portage cobnty from his feet.-' made IVI.

Work on the plant of the Diamond Match company in South Africa has been entirely suspended. Thomas F. Cleveland has started for homo. He is expected to arrive in Akron some time next uonth. He was living at Johannesburg, having been sent there by the Dia mond Match company to superin tend the construction of an immense plant, which was to supply the trade in the new field opened in the South African countries. The new works are located about IS miles from Jo hannesburg. Because of the war it has been impossible to get men to work. All want to join the Boers' army in its struggle against British supremacy. A cablegram, dated Delagoa Bay, Oct. 24, has been received by Mrs. Cleveland, announcing that her hus band had engaged passage and that he would sail'that day for home. TWO MORE H B "JF ST "Sf Forged Checks Cashed by Young Woman. Poor Imitation of Major Steinbacher's Signature Canton Caught. The prepossessing young lady who passed a forged check a few days ago on a Wooster bank with the sig nature of E. S. Steinbacher attached seems to be doing a wholesale busi ness. Within the last week she passed two checks for $20 each, drawn on the First National bank of Akron with the same forged signature on each. They were cashed by merchants in Canton. After the checks reached the Canton banks they went to Cleveland and then came to Akron. The young woman has not as yet been located. There is no trace of her. The signature Is a poor forgery.
