But lika many other attorneys, I have my doubts if such a law woul'd be constitutional, I would like to see the law provide, for a public fund for use in defending uncontested divorces. By having a defense made and the lawyer pand from this fund, tjie court would be able to get all the facts in the case. Many divorces would be refused if all the facts were known.

The cratlve effect felt The desperate efforts of Robert Kell, pastor of the Episcopal church of Cuyahoga Falls, and Mayor E- M. "Joung to quell a riot on the foot ball fleld at the Falls Saturday afternoon probaby saved several players and spectators at the game from being killed." The Nonpareils of South Akron and the Cuyahoga Falls team attempted to play a game, and an argument over a decision made by the referee precipitated a riot, which, but for the interference of the mayor and the minister would no doubt have resulted in the loss of life. As it was a score or more of rioters were injured, a number of them seriously, and the field after the smoke of battle had cleared away was covered with blood. During the melee clubs were used freely and with great effect. Scalps were laid openi noses broken and several of the participants were rendered unconscious, and remained on the field to be patched up by their comrades.

The majority of those injured were able to walk from the field, but not a few of them were taken away buggies. While a score or more persons were injured on each side, nOne of them was dangerously hurt. Trouble Started. The game was a dirty one from the beginning, and before it broke up in a riot. Barker, the big right tackle of the Falls team was laid out several times.

Roy Ross, president of the Nonpareils, acred as referee and umpire of the game. At the end of the second half the score stood 5 to 0 in favor of the Akron team. Because Ross was president of the Nonpareils and was acting as referee and umpire of a game in which his club was in--Crested the Falls boys imagined that 'he was giving them the worst end of it in the decisions. A dispute arose over a decision, and Captain Fenton of the Nonpareils, in order to avoid a row, which seemed imminent, left the field, calling on his men to follow him. Several of the players followed the captain, but a number them stopped to argue the matter with the members of the opposing team and the spectators.

Suddenly one of the Falls players struck an Akron man and the trouble began. There was a large pile of lumber near at hand which furnished club9 for the rioters, and in a short time at least 50 persons were armed with clubs and engaged in a desperate struggle. The Falls crowd outnumbered the Ak-ronians many times, and the latter were getting the worst of the encounter when Mayor E. M. Young and Rev.

Robert Kell interfered. Rev. Kell stands six feet in his stockings and weighs ever 210 pounds. He and the mayor attempted to stop the riot by talk, but no attention was paid to them. Seeing that something would have to be done at once before somebody 'was killed, both men jumped into the thickest of the fight.

Went After Them. The rioters were hurled right and left by the two sturdy peacemakers. It was a unique way to preserve order, but it was the only thing that could have been dene under the circumstances. Rev. Kell picked a number of the participants up bodily and threw them out of the crowd.

After desperate efforts comparative quiet was secured and the minister-athlete emphatically impressed the crowd that cured hundreds of cases we have never seen.

The France Medical Institute Co Columbus, 0. iSEJ2.it AN INTERESTING MEETING OF POMONA GRANGE HELD AT OSBORN'S CORNERS. Samuel Rosenbury Was One of the Builders of the Ohio Canal. Samuel Rosenbury, who died recently in Canal Dover, was a former resi-dent of this city, and was prominently identified with the early life of the village which has grown into the present prosperous city. Mr.

Rosenbury was born in Butler, Butler county, Pennsylvania, December 3, 1809, and at his death was 93 years, 10 months and 23 days old. He was one of the oldest residents of Tuscarawas county, having lived in' that county for over .70 years. When a young boy, he lived with his father on a farm near New Lisbon in Columbiana county, his father keeping a hotel in New Lisbon. The family then moved to Akron where he grew to manhood, and married Rebecca Jourdain of Medina county. After spending several years in Akron he moved to Tuscarawas county, and, began farming but was elected constable, and then moved to Canal Dover.

He helped build the Ohio canal and. after it was completed began boating. He ran a boat used for carrying passengers, there being no railroads in those days. He followed boating for 12 years was master of the first boat that went into Chilli-cothe, the citizens of the town and surrounding country -greeting the crew and passengers an old-time celebration. It was a 'gala day, roast ox, deer, and wild game in abundance were provided, provisions being donated for the occasion, and- hundreds of people shared in the feast.

After leaving the canal Mr. Rosenbury bought' and conducted a grocery store for-' several yeai-s. Mr. Rosenbury was prominent in politics and was in the employ of the township at various He served as street commissioner for 21 years without intermission, and had a large experience and acquaintance with different classes of people. He owned and lived on the corner of Third and "Walnut street, Canal Dover, for 49 years.

Twenty-one yeas ago his wife died and since that time he had resided with his daughter, Mrs. Jennie McCarthy. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for many years and his funeral 'was conducted by Rev. W. G.

Sergeant. There are but two children living from "a family of eight; Mrs. Harriet M. Ault of Cleveland, and Mrs. J.

R. McCarthy. Seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren constitute the family remaining. Many relatives and friends were present at the funeral. WANTS DAMAGES.

James Hynn Sues the Taplin, Rice (o. The Taplin, Rice Company has been made defendant in a $5,030 damage suit5 filed in the common pleas court Saturday by James Flynn. The plaintiff alleges in his petition that on December 17, 1902, he was engaged in working in the foundry of the company as helper, and that while assisting in carrying a large ladle of iron through a gangway to other parts of the foundry another, employe picked up a piece of tin which was lying on the floor and tossed the tin in the direction of the gangway, striking the plaintiff in the right eye. He alleges that the gangway was dark and filled with steam, and that if it had been properly lighted the thrower could have seen the plaintiff and the accident could have been avoided. The palintiff says that the piece of tin cut his eyeball so as to almost totally destroy the sie-ht, and that his eye will be permanently disabled.

BADLY HURT. Hungarian Faiied to Get Out ot Way of a Car. A Hungarian, who was unable to give his name, was struck by a Barberton car at Kenmore and severely injured Saturday evening at 9 o'clock. He was sitting on the track and did not move as the car approached, although perfectly sane and The car struck him from behind, breaking his left shoulder, his. left shoulder blade and inflicting severe injuries on his head.

Parks' ambulance was summoned and the injured man removed to the city hospital, where his injuries were dressed by Dr. H. H. Jacobs and Dr. T.

C. Hill. His lack of knowledge of the English language made it impossible for him to give any information as to his name or residence, but it is thought that he is a member of the Hungarian settlement at Kenmore. RUBBER WORKER HAD HIS EOOT SMASHED. Albert Button 44 Russell avenue had a portion of his right foot smashed at the plant of the American Hard Rubber company Monday morning.

Button was at work before a machine when his foot was caught in a roller and the toes were mashed. He was removed to the city hospital in Parks' ambulance, and his injury dressed, by Dr. Ra.be. the next man that struck a blow would have reason to be sorry for his action the remainder of his days. The rioters evidently thought that Rev.

Kell meant just what he said and the crowd dispersed. The reverend gentleman was struck several times, but was only slightly injured. At one time there were over a dozen men laid out on the field unconscious and the field was covered with the blood of the rioters. The excitement was intense and several lady spectators fainted. "When the rioting was at its highest, Charles Davis of this city, one of the spectators, started to run.

flavor Young saw him trying to get away and thinking that he killed somebody yelled. "Catch that man!" Instantly mere "than 100 people started after him, including the mayor, who hurriedly jumped in his buggy. Davis was-thoroughly frightened and the crowd ves left far behind. Mayor Young, however, forced his horse into a run and succeeded in capturing him. Davis seeing that the mayor was about to overtake him, ran into a house about a mile from the foot ball field and asked for protection.

Chased by Mob. He was placed in the mayor's buggy and taken to the village prison. On the way to the prison large crowds surrounded the mayor and his prisoner. The mayor ordered the crowd away and again forced his horse into a run, and the mob had to be satisfied with throwing clubs and stones, several of which struck the occupants. When the prison was reached Davis was hustled through the crowd and placed in a cell.

In a few minutes the city hall was surrounded by a howling mob of fully 200 people. The crowd thought that Davis had killed somebody, and they wanted vengeance. After a hurried investigation Mayor Young discovered nobody had been killed during the rioting and that Davis was running away from the mob to keep from being injured. He informed the mob of this fact and it to disperse. This seemed to satisfy the members of the mob and in a short time the streets were cleared.

the crowd had dispersed Davis was released. When the members of the Akron team and rooters left to board a car for this city they were followed by a large crowd to the outskirts of the village and were stoned as they entered the car. Will Play Again. After everything had quieted down and a large number of the Akron people had left the village Mayor Young took Captain Fenton of the Nonpareils and Captain Hart of the Falls team into his offie and had them sign an agreement to play another game at the Falls on October 31. "I deplore this matter greatly," said the mayor, "and order will be preserved at the next game if I have to have 50 policemen on the grounds.

I assure you that you will be protected. This trouble is a disgrace to the town and I want to show the people that we can have a foot ball game here without having people try to kill each other. If any trouble occurs at the game I give' you my word and honor that there will never be another game played in the town if I can help it as long as I am mayor." So far there have been no arrests made and the probabilities are that there will not be any. Over 50 people taok part in the rioting. Secretary H.

H. Shirer of board of trustees of the institution are carried out, and are approved by the board of county commissioners. Monday morning two of the trustees, Dr. A. M.

Armstrong and Jonathan Brewster visited the heme to see what could be done to provide more room for the inmates. The trustees were accompanied by an architect who will make plans providing for an addition to the dining room of the building. It is the intention to make the dining room large enough to accommodate all the children in a comfortable manner. The proposed addition will be two stories high, and the upper story will provide additional sleeping room for the children. After the plans are made and approved by the board of trustees, they wili be-placed before the board of county, commissioners and that board will be asked to make the necessary ap--propriation to pay the cost of the improvement.

The plans will be completed a soon as possible and the county commissioners will no doubt apprrwe t.hm. President Roosevelt's announcement that he proposed to recommend to congress the passage of a. universal divorce law for all states in the Union, has caused many attorneys to give the question much thought. Strange as it may seem there are several Akron attorneys who heartily agree with the president on the divorce question, although if such) a law was passed would tend to reduce the income of many lawyers, who at present secure a large amount of fees from this source every year. However, these attorneys can see better than anybody that the laws of the; state regarding divorces are lax and need revising, and they do not permit the desire for personal gain to interfere with their opinions in discussing the matter.

"In Ohio there are nine grounds on which divorces can be secured," said a well known attorney to a Beacon Journal reporter, "while in Pennsylvania arid New York the laws provide only two grounds for absolute divorce. In these states- they have a number of grounds from bed and board, but only two for absolute divorce. They Come to Ohio. "This has an effect of driving into Ohio all persons who cannot secure a divorce on the two grounds. After liv-ng in Ohio for one year these peopls can go into court and secure a divorce on any one of the nine grounds.

Ohio is becoming almost as notorious for the number of divorces granted every year as Dakota was a few-years ago. Here in Summit county the number of divorces granted every year is astonishing. Nearly one-third the case3 filed in the Summit county courts during the past few months are for divorce. "I am an- attorney and much of ray income comes from the divorce court, A BIG (OUNTY UNION.

MEETING HELD SATURDAY. Officers Were Elected and Installed and Other Preliminary Work Was Done State Officials Present and Delivered Addresses. (Special to Beacon Journal.) Cuyahoga Falls, Oct. 19. A union of the Christian Endeavor societies of the county was formed at the meeting which was held for that purpose in the First Congregational church here Saturday evening.

Waterman, Barberton treasurer, Elmmer Eckart, Akron. The newly; elected officers were installed by State Secretary Claude H. Eckart. A In installing the officers Mr. Eckart said: The-Summit County union is practically a new thing, and for this reason is going to mean a great dea of work during the year to bring the work up to where it should be.

It is not what we do personally in our own strength find not on account of our great ability or of a great amount of study we put to it, but by putting our strength in Hin who will lead us, and to Him 1 want to commit these new-officers for guidance and direction during the coining year." Mr. Eckart spoke of the responsibility of the individual members in the success of the Summit County union. After prayen C. H.

He expressed the appreciation of the state Officers of the work done in Summit co'Unty, and stated that the Ohio Christian Endeavor army is divided into 8 Diseases Heart and Liver pride or sham modesty and his influence in perpetuating the power of Turkish sovereignty over Macedonia at the? congress of Berlin was briefly reviewed, as were also the recent 'massacres in the Turkish provinces. Alaskan boundary, the Panama canal and the permission Commander Robert E. Peary has obtained to spend another three years In Arctic explorations were briefly discussed. S. J.

Baldwin gave a short lecture on entomology. This is one of Mr. Baldwin's favorite topics, and he said in part: "All of our very worst and most injurious insects have been Imported from foreign countries. The cultivation of land has made many insects more noticeable, and has abo driven away many of our birds most of which feed upon insects. One of the problems of the future will ba to learn' to work w'th' nature, and protect the balance nature has provided.

"The insects of the order Neuroptera having four wings are mostly friendly to the farmer. The dragon flies and the lace wings are examples, the former feeding largely upon mosquitoes and the latter upon the 'apliedes' or plant lice. "The Orthoptera or straight-winged insects, of which the grasshopper is an example, are moptly injurious because of their being great eaters. "The bugs, or Hainiptera, are nearly all injurious. Unlike the insects of the preceding order, the bugs are suckers, beirig provided with a- beak which they insert in vegetable tissue and suck out the Juice or sap.

"In the order Coleoptera, horned-winged or beetles, many are friendly to the farmer and some very injurious. The butterflies and moths are all considered injurious, with the possib'ie exception of the' silk worm, and it destroys foliage, and in that respect must be considered injurious. "The flies Hymenoptera, transparent-winged some beneficial and some are injurious. All those that closely resemble bees are beneficial. "Farmers must learn to protect the birds, and especially the quail.

No other bird does so much good as the quail. A United States government report was quoted wherein 3,300 crops of the quail had been examined and. 75 per cent, of the food was found to be insects, and 24 per cent, grains and vegetables. Of the grains, however, only 2 per cent were cereal, the balance being seeds of weeds and grasses. The crop of one chickadee that was exam- inted contained 800 egg-s of codling moth."

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Cleveland Slav Was Taken for -a Wild Man. Because he was hungry and speak English, John Case, a Slav of was taken for a wild man by Portage county people, and was chased all over the country, until he was'almogt dead from hunger arid exposure. A dispatch from Kent says: "Probate Judge Rockwell Saturday night ordered the release from jail of John Case, a Slav of 25 Burke street, Cleveland. "Case has had a thrilling experience for the past week.

He came to Portage county to find work in the railroad camps, but became lost. He traveled to Paris township and went to houses for food. No one understood his language, and his frantic signs led to the belief that he was crazy. He was chased away. Barefooted and without coat or halj he roamed in the woods, running like a wild man at the sight of hur man beings.

"The whole eastern part of the county was aroused, and a wild man chase was inaugurated. Last night a posse armed with guns and clubs caught him in a ravine in Palmyra township atfer a desperate fight and brought him to the county jail. He was covered with blood and his feet were swollen to twice their natural size. When given food be ate ravenously. This evening Judge Rockwell and Sheriff Goodenough with an interpreter, got the main's story of his terrible experience, which was a most pitiful one.

Employment was found for him and he was released." i Charles Ewart, the Springfield township boy, who was injured in a foot ball game at Cleveland two weeks ago, died Monday at the home of his parents i Springfield. He "was 18 years old and one of the brightest students in the Cleveland South High school, where he was a third year student. In the foot ball game October 3. young Ewart sustained seVere internal injuries which finally resulted in his death. It is the first foot ball fatality of the season in this vicinity.

He was the youngest son of. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

The change In climate, in December, from Akron to California In five days seemed to her very great. She liked California very much, but It has its drawbacksthe stories tell only tha good things. The fruit trees must be irrigated during the dry season.

She saw a field of barley containing 6,000 acres, and one of peanuts of 40 acres. The flowers are many and beautiful, some of them growing all the year round. Like Mr. Shaw, she thought much of the fruit not equal in flavor to Ohio-grown fruit. At Long Beach the skeleton of a whale 61 feet long was seen.

One of the features of her stay in California was a trip to the Catallna islands. These IslandJ rise 3,000 feet above the sea, and art fixed up for a 'large summer resort. Here a ride was taken in a glass bot- tomed canoe. The water was very-clear, and the ocean floor could be very plainly seen. One orchard of three acres of Washington navel oranges produced a crop that sold for $2,200.

i The exhibit of fruits and grains consisted of about a dozen varieties of apples, including, Baldwin, Ben Davis, Sweet Russet, Ramsel Sweet, Belle-flour, -Greening, Pumpkin Sweet and several unnamed varieties. Of corn there were half a dozen varieties, Black Mexican and Early Adams sweet corn, Cuban Ensilage, White-cap, Te'ilow-Dent and one or two unnamed varieties. Some soy beans were shown showing the root tubercles as the result of a very little inoculated soil with the seed, and others where no ftioculated soil was used, showed ne) trace of the nitrogen tubercles.

The attendance at the October meeting of Pomona grangre at Osborn's Corners was mot large, and a good many that were assigned topics on the program were not present.

However, the program was gone through with and the meeting was both pleasant and profitable. The election of officers for the year 1904 resulted as follows: Master, S. J. Baldwin; overseer, E. L.

Hare; lecturer, Mrs. Amanda Miller; steward, George Treap; assistant steward, Milton H. Danforth; chaplain, Mrs. R. E.

R. Shaw. E. Li. Hale gave some bits of ex perience in organizing granges in about half a- dozen states and in nearly every county in Ohio.

Music by the grange followed his talk. A recitation by James Black vas greatly enjoyed and Shaw, who went to California with the G. A. R. members, in an interesting talk, related some of his experiences.

Every tree in Denver, "has been set out and during the dry season must be watered as often as every third day. Denver, itself, he thought was a beautiful city, but the country round about was what' he called poor. Thousands of prairie dogs could be seen from the car windows east of Denver. The trip up Pike's Peak on the cog-railway was one Of the notable experiences of the whole trip. On getting oft the car at the tp of the peak he felt queer and could hardly walk.

He was told to take a number of long breaths, which he did, with the resultthat the sensation entirely left him'. From the peak a lake could be seen, said to contain 92 acres, which looked not larger than one or two acres. One of the worthy places of interest in San Francisco is Golden Gate park, which contains 1,000 acres. He visited Los Angeles, Santa Ana and the Cata-iina islands, staid over night with Oscar W. Cranz, who was, shortly after with two other men, killed by aj fall of earth.

He did not find the fruit of California as good or as well flavored as was expected. The trip up the Sacramento valley through Oregon and Washington was a delightful one. He was more favorably impressed with Oregon and Washington than with California. The trip home was by the northern route. Mr.

Shaw said he(wa3 gone from home about six weeks, had traveled upwards of 10,000 miles, 'and the total expenses were not more than $110. A recitation by Ethel Andrews was next, followed by adjournment for dinner. Immediately after dinner the officers for the coming j-ear were installed by E. L. Hale.
