Match King in Politics Causes Akron Scandal Flame
Ull Columbus Harbor, head of the match trust and Akron’s leading citizen, vows revenge on Senator Charles Dick. He challenges Dick to publicly explain his stance on tariff measures and railroad control. The feud stems from a $100,000 back tax dispute linked to Barber’s factory, a grudge spanning two decades. Barber later funded a $400,000 church subscription and built a replica of Paris’s Made Hine church in Akron, despite political attacks questioning his citizenship. Barber, born April 20, 1841 in Middlebury, rose from poverty to become Diamond Match Company president and the era’s famed “match king.”

Unclear dialogue fragment about a stomach ache remedy
A rough dialogue scene mentions a kitchen or home entrance, a clock, and a claim that Hamline Wiz will cure a colicky stomach ache. The text reads as a nonsensical exchange with scattered questions and a product reference. No clear news event or named entities are present.
Breach of Promise and Quack Remedies Prominent in Fragment
A jumble of old promotional and literary text appears. The scene shifts from a dramatic dialogue about breach of promise to an advertisement for Cheney’s Catarrh Cure. A mock rustic vignette then references a clock and a minstrel-like tale, followed by an ad for Allen’s Foot-Ease powder promising relief for tired swollen feet.
