Innes to Brann and Little, which has ample shed ac •ommodations, and is situated just jutside Canton borough. A ton of hay a day is required to eed the animals. While it is known ;hat no work will be done on the *oad this winter, there are hopes that the bondholders committee, tvhich is now at work with encourag" ng success may be able to make tome arrangemept whereby work •an be resumed in the spring.—Can ton Sentinel. Owing to the prospect that the lulls, for fighting forest [ires, will far exceed any ever known, the state authorities are taking precautions to guard agaiust the passage of any fraudulent hills hy counties, and warnings have been sent out by [Auditor General Young and Forestry Conklin. The tires this year have been of such great extent that the cost, of extin guishing them bids fair to run be yond the $73,000 available for pay ment of the two-thirds for which the commonwealth under the law stands liable. The highest sum evei reached by (ire bills in previous years was 513,000. ! In his warning Auditor General Young notes that the appropriation j is likely to prove insufficient, and! that while the legislature will doubt- j less care for any deflcency it is de sired to hold down the bill. He says | in his letter to county commission-! ers: Both county and state are peculiar- j ly liable to fraud in this matter, at the hands of unscrupulous persons, i The number of hours a day for each j warden or deputy shouid be kept I within the bonds of probability, j The warden should be carefully questioned with reference to the: origin of the tire, its location and ex- ' tent the number of persons em-1 ployed by him and the number of hours which each person worked. C'are should be taken to eliminate 1 claims for fictitious persons physic ally incapable of performing the work. | "It should aiso uv borne in mind that no person or corporation has a right to compensation for extinguish ing tires on his own property, and care should be taken to inquire into all claims with this matter in view. "Bills arc payable on January 1, and whatever money is available will be. disbursed pro rata on that date." Bryan's Star Has Set. Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Novem ber ;l— William J. Bryan tonight re ceived at his home "Fairview," the which early told hiin that for the third time he had been defeat ed in the greatest ambition of his life. Coniident of victory to the very laat'the was not prepared to be lieve that his cause was lost until the pluralities of his Republican op ponent pi'ed np in such proportions as to leave no room fordonbt. When the earlier returns came he made particular inquires regarding New York and found much en couragement in the gains he was making up-state over the Democrat ic vote of 1804, but as «he figures continued to be received he relied on Greater New York to offset the heavy Taft vote above the Harlem aiver. liven in that he was biteer ly disappoiuted and he soon realized that the State was popelesely gone and with it his prospects of being elected.

William Howard Tuft was elected President of thu llnittd .States l»y majorities running well up toward the colossal vote polled by Theodore Roosevelt four years ago, when Al ton B. Parker was snowed under New York has gone for Taft by about 220,001) which exceeds Roose velt's plurality over Parker by 20, 000. (Jrenter New York went for Taft, and yet Tammany trading did not suffice to defeat Governor Hughes, who will have plurality of 30,000 over Chanler. Congress is certainly Republican, with practically the same majority that controled the last House. Pennsylvania has rolled upa plu rality of 300,000 for Taft and Sher man. Philadelphia gives Taft more than 100,000 pluralty, and Giltillan's plur ality over Gibboney for Sheriff U be tween 00,000 and 100,000. Maryland is Republican by 10,000 and Delaware by 2500. West Vir ginia is claimed for Taft by a ma jority 30,000. Returns from Ohio are usually late, but the indications are it is Republican by decreased figures with the race between Gov ernor Harris and Judson Harmon hotly contested. The Middle West is solidly Re publican, Bryan having lost Nebras ka, his home State. New Jersey has rolled up 80,000 for Taft, the same plurality Roosevelt had four years ago. Hew "Old Glory." Clevland Ohio, Oct. 2:srd.—John Kisenman, the architect, proposes to remodel the Star Spangled Banner. He has started a movement to that end which will reach Congress in formal fashion this Fall. As an architect, Kisenman says the Hag is not Symetrical. Besides it has other faults. What the G. A. It. veterans who carried the banner in to battle will say to the remodeling effort is another story. Kisenman has drawn a plan for a new Hag, a Hag that will be sym etrical. He will give this design to the United States Government. The principal change he wants is dropping the union, the blue star spotted Held from the upper left hand corner to the middle ot the hunting, in the Kisenman design this union has stripes above as well as below it. In addition to this the architect proposes to color tho origonal thirteen stars red and make them six pointed, leaving the stars for the other states white and live poiuted, as they now are. The Hag which curried but thirteen stars j had six-pointed ones. Still anther modification urged by Hisenmau is the representation of the Territories, possessions and Dis trict of Columbia by white disks lo cated among the white stars that stand for the States. Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, fcho Phillipines and any other odd bitflof territory acquired in the future would be etftitled to disks. At pres ent the blue field carries stars only for states actually within the union. Eisenman's argument is that his scheme will allow for all future growth by the United .States. If Arizona and New Mexico were ad mitted, for instance, it will not IK* necessary to re-arrange the design of the Union, as the case is now. Just turn a disk already 011 the blue field into a five-pointed star, and there you are. Moreover his symetrical design will admit of enlarging the union in a fashion to retain the pro portions of the tlag. With the pres ent flag the union has been growing as new Statt»s have been added, while the rest of the flag retained the same size as before. Artists have objected that decorat ors oould use the flag 111 but one po sition because it would otherwise ; appear with the union upside-down, in which position it is a signal of 1 distress. Mr, Biseuman argues that his design would permit decorators twisting and turning the folds iu 1 any fashion. In answer to the ob jection th it this robs the standard of its utility as it« distress signal, he ex plains that ships which wisfc to use it can fly it at half-mast.
