TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7
Have you voted?
It -WILL be everybody's race until
the votes are counted.
A great many scratched tickets
were placed in the ballot boxes
today. Who's the joke on?
Asvhow, the candidacy of Mr.
Jones is bringing out a great many
votes that have been in the heather
since 1896.
In the poetic language of Col.
Dobson,.this is the- day for "a long
pull and a strong pull and a pull all
together."
Afteb the smoke has cleared away
tonight it will be found that the men
who did not guess at all on the result
guessed best.
Over in Mansfield the Morgen
thaler law has been-the chief issue of
the campaign. The result will be
watched with interest. The tax
grafters swooped down upon Mans
field's industries about the same
time that they were trying to drive
the Werner company from Akron.
How many local candidates will
be willing to conclude with Senator
Alexander tomorrow that David was
running for office when he sprung his
iamous epigram, "All men are
Hare?" There's not a candidate
ln"Summifc county. Democrat or Re
publican, who has not been promised
enough votes to elect him by 5,000
plurality.
Some of Akron's Republican poli
ticians have two sets of opinions
concerning Mr. Hanna one for use
in private conversation; the other
for public. It is amusing to note
the consequences when the private
opinions sometimes find their way
into print. If the majority of Repub
licans who condemn Mr. Hanna in
private but are afraid to say a word
against him in public would vote
their private convictions, Mr. Hanna
would be the worst repudiated polit
ical boss who ever attempted to dic
tate to Ohio people.
Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup never disappoints
those who use it for obstinate coughs,
colds and irritations of the throat
and lungs. It stands unrivaled as a
remedy for throat and lung disease.

KNIT GOODS
Department Opened In Local Store
Great Improvement Shown.
Amid all the great improvements
of the age, the attention given to the
dressing of babies has not been eo
much after the necessity of health
ful and sanitary conditions of the
little onf s, as the predominant wish
of each fond mother to dress her
child prettier than anybody else.
Especially is this feature noticeable
in the infant's night wear.
But in Arnold's knit goods there is
embodied one of the greatest im
provements ever shown in the line
of children's dress. M. O'Neil &
Company have opened a knit goods
department on the second floor. The
department this week is in charge of
Madam Borg, of New York, an en
thusiast and advocate of a more hy
gienic dress for children,
The excellency and simplicity of
these garments recommends them
to all mothers, who long for some
thing better than the old methods of
dressing children for bed.

Gus Ruhlin does not evidently de

may soon meet Choynski and Maher

VICTIM
Of an Unscrupulous
Pension Agent.
Strange Story of Daniel Freeman's
Crime He Saw Service.
There is an interesting story back
of Daniel Freeman's troubles.
He is an aged colored man, who
resided in Akron for many years.
Last week he was sentenced to one
year's imprisonment for having been
convicted of fraudulently drawing a
pension from the government. The
old man seems to have been the vic
tim of an unscrupulous pension
agent.
He drew tlic pension under the
name of Joseph L. Richardson, and
yet continued to go under the name
Freeman. He can neither read nor
write, and the puzzling question has
been how he ever managed to secure
the pension. There appears to be
little doubt that he served in the
army during the war of the rebellion,
for he describes some of the army
scenes vividly. He does not know
the name of his captain, however,
but declares that he is absolutely
certain he served in the Fifty-
fourth Massachusetts colored regi
ment.
On the instep of his right foot is a
large scar. He says ho was wounded
in battle. The details he describes
with great accuracy.- The rest of his
statements are very conflicting. He
declares that he enlisted in the regi
ment mentioned under the name of
his former master, having been a
Virginia slave at the outbreak of the
war. District Attorney Dodge, how
ever, produced the real Richardson
who served in the Fifty-fourth Mass
achusetts, and the records show that
he was the only Richardson who
served in the regiment.
The general impression is that
Freeman was ihduced to apply for a
pension by some claim agent", and
that while it is true he drew the pen
sion belonging to another soldier, he
was ignorant of whathe was doing.
The wav the fraud cfeie to the sur
face was by Freeman applying fornn
increase in his pension.

NIGHT SCHOOL.
Almost 200 Pupils Attend
First Session.
Organization and Division of Classes
Three Teachers Selected.
The night school recently author
ized by the Bo.-ud of Education, was
opened Monday evening iu the as
sembly room of the High school.
There were 193 prospective pupils in
attendance nnd ll seemed to be in
earnest, iusuiiug the success of the
school. There were several grown
men among the audience. The even
ing was spent in organization, divis
ion of ihe pupils into classes and
making ready for actual study. The
school will convene from 7 to 9
o'clock on Monday, Tuesday, "Wed
nesday and Thursday evenings of
each week. Everything will be en
tirely free.
Those who wish to take studies of
high school grade, will purchase
their own books, which will be fur
nished by the Board of Education at
the same rate as they aro furnished
to day school pupils. The books for
all the common branches will be
furnished free. Mr. I. R. Garbutt of
the High Echool will be principal,
and a force of seven or eight teach
ers will be required, only three of
which have as yet been decided
upon. Those already selected are
F. W. Dyer and John Taylor. J. F.
Barnhart will have charge of the in
struction in writing.
It is expected that out of the first
attendance of 19(5, the number will
gradually be reduced until there will
be possibly 150 pupils. The large
number who have entered the move
ment shows a most commendable
spirit and an embition to learn
among those who have not had early
school advantages.

est.tbliaiit.-d at Bacolod, in the island of
ICegros. General Smith, governor of
the islaud of Xegros, administered the
oath of oiiico to the judge of the su

governor, 'i judges, 12 couucilineu, the
auditor and the secretary of the interior,
who made the natives of the entire isl

from Iloilo were also present. Three
days' feasting will follow iu celebration
ot the new yovernmeut and the anni
versary of the surrender of the Span
iards to the Xegros revolutionists, end
ing with a pall in tbe government
house. American flags aro displayed in
tho village. The, ceteDration consisted
of horse racing and other sports, music,
religious tunctions and an illumination.
The ball attracted the wives of the
wealthy planters, and there was a great
display of rich costumes and costly
jewels as would be seen at a similar at
lair in America or Europe.
Elections were held Oct. , the num
ber of votes cast oeiug 5,248. There
were 40 candidates for the various of
fices. Melecio iteverino was elected
governor, receiving 1,305 votes. Senor

was determined by properly qualiUca

Colonel Miner welcomed the officials

course of h s runnings he said:
"Ifegros leads in tho van of civil gov

General Smith, during a speech which
he delivered, said:
"Your future promises as brightly as
Japan's who today is recognized as
among the civilized nations of the
world."
Seuor Scvermo, in replying, said that
the best tmng for the future of Jfegros
was the continuance of close relations
With trie United States.
General binith theu announced tho
granting of treedom to the political
prisoners iu commemoration of the
event.
General Hughes, iu command at Ilo

over the eastern cable troni that place.
General Smith, in au interview, re
marked that it was oi the utmost im
portance that the Jb'ilipinos should be
taught to recognize the sovereignty ot
the United Estates. The gravest Gan
ger, he added, threatening a peacelul
administration is mtriyue among the
insular politicians, and he declared that
the United States government must for
years keep control ot the Filipinos in
order to prevent such conditions Irom
existing.
ihe members of the Sixth iufautry,
which is divided into 30 garrisons
throughout the island of Negros, are
undergoing great hardships.
A recently organized revolutionary
movement was discovered in jS'orthern
Kegros and the leaders were forced to
wiendraw to fauay. A number of ban
dits, under the leadership of Papa Issio,
a religious charlatan, have beeu driven
iuto the mountains, but it is expected
that they will give more trouble. A
force ot 250 native soldiers, armed with
Spriugiield rifles, are helping the Auier
icuns.and are found to be valable as
scouts.
Geneial Lawton's operations have
been temporarily suspended owing to
heavy rains. The country around
Cabauatuau is flooded. The river, how

Hagaiaug, tho town taken by two col
umns ii General MacArthur's divi

O'Brien, is a strong town situated mid
way between Angeles and Arayat.
The movement is a part of the plan of
the Americans to possess all the country
to the southeast of Tariae, as tho troops
closo iu on the capital, cutting the line
of tho enemy's retreat in that direction.
The L.surgeut'force is estimated at
1,000. Colonel Smith first encountered
a small loive entrenched a quarter mile
beyond Angeles, which soon retreated,
leaving two ot their number dead. The
enemy made a short stand at the out
skirts of Barrios and San Francisco,
briskly shooting at the advancing
Americana.
Captain Brush deployod with the ad
vance guard of the battalion and
charged the- Filipinos, who took to
flight. Seven Americans were wounded.
The Americans almost surrounded the
insurgents, who resisted stubbornly,
but Lieutenant Hamilton's artillery cut
them up. Lieutenant Slavin's troops
captured a company of the enemy,
with their arms, during the advance.
General Wheeler's brigade is formed at
