The elections in France on Sunday, if
they indicate anything whatever, show
that the people still cling to the republic
as the only form of government suited to
their country at the present crisis. 1t is
considered certain that of the ia Deputies
chosen to fill vacancies in the Assembly
eighty or ninety are moderate republicans
and will support the administration Of NJ.
Theirs. An approximate result of the
election in thirty-four departments, ex-
elusive of that of the Seine, is ~ffty-six re-
publicans and twelve monarchists. Only
two monarchists have been chosen from
Paris. In the Department ofthe Gironde
the republican candidates received $4,000
votes, the Bourbon O~rleanists $4,000 and
the Bonapartlsts 1900 Among the
candidates elected are NJ. Leon Gambetta,
General Faidherbe. Victor Hugo, NJ Duv-
'ergier, and NJ. Magne, formerly Finance
Minister. Napoleon's premier, Rouher, is
among the defeated. The popular Gam

The Fantastics were ont on horseback
on Tuesday night. They failed to attract
attention. They got all they deserved
however. They bowed tin horns and
made ugly noises in which exercises they
excelled.
A GooD SELL.-On Tuesday morning a
rope might have been seen" extending
from the s. E. corner of the American Ho-
tel to the n. E. corner of the Reigheimer
block, on which was suspended a card say
ing Professor Anderson will walk this
rope at 6 o'clock a M" or words to that
effect, but the Prof. didn't come to time, a
great many people did, however, come and
watched the rope carefully. On Wednes-

AccIDENT.-On Wednesday of last
week, Henry Gaddis started with a buggy
from East Greenville, in Tuscarawas
Township to take his brother William to
Orryille, who expected to take a passage
to Putnam county. In attempting to
cross the track at Orrville the mail train,
due in this city at 1917. was close at hand,
the horse wheeled and ran down the road
Immediately in front of the engine. Hen
ry, whe was driving, was thrown out on
the track and stunned and was run over
by the train and killed. William was
terribly bruised and injured, but at this
writing. Monday morning, is supposed to
be living. Henry's age, relying upon re-
collection, was sixty, and Williams sixty
five. They were sons of Henry Gaddis a
pioneer settler of Tuscarawas township
who came into the township during, or
about the close, of the war Of 1872 and
have been known to the writer since 1922.

The rain during.the morning and fore
noon of the 4th interfered with the con-
templated proceedings in Canton. The
weather however, clearing up about noon
the procession was formed in the public
square, under the lead of Chief Marshal
Herbst, assisted by Mr.. D. Keefer. The
fantasies in the procession attracted much
attention. They were on horseback and
with their false faces and old dresses were
observed by all. The wagon of young la
dies representing the different states was
a crediiable arrangement. 1t was in sew
eral tiers and adorned with flags and ban
ners with the names of the states inscrib-
ed. The band led the way to the fair
grounds, the union wagon, cavalcade and
citizens generally, following on. Not
w~ithstanding the bad promise in the fore
part Of the day the afternoon was pleasant

with eatables of all kinds, and stands with
soda fountains, small beer &c, were scat
tered around, these wereall largely patro-
nized. The ladies having charge of arti-
Giles of dress YEA were very busy in Floral
Hall exhibiting & disposing oftheir goods.
The programme of the doings was some

reading of the Declaration nor speaking,
but the games were proceeded with. The
tournament of the knights in contesting
for the Silver Tea set was the most
lengthy performance. Ten posts were
erected around the ring from which were

rings had to be taken of By means of

The Knights entering the list were

three courses. The prize was awarded to
A. Dannamiller, he having taken off elev-
