Murder In Putnam County.

A horrible and fatal ARRAY occurred last
Friday evening, 18th inst, near Gllboa'
Putnam county, between Squire Darling
and Orlando Meals, in which the former
fatally stabbed the latter with a butcher
knife.
There was an old feud existing between
the two men, who are n%eighbors, and live
about a mile and a half southwest of Gill
boa, and on Friday evening Meals came
TO Darling's TO get a calf of his which had
been penned up IN Darling's fields. OAR
ling told him that he could not have the
cali that night, but must come after 1t the
next day If he wanted 1t. Meals declared
he would have it that night, and from that
hot words en- ued, and Meals knocked
Darling down twice, when Darling
stabbed him twice with a big butcher
knife, oGe lick cutting a deep cash IN the
right arm, and the second n cutting
into the lungs and heart. Upon being
cut, Meals tell down, exclaiming "Ohl Myl
Onl MyF" Alter doing the cutting Dar-
ling went into his house and lit his pipe
Meals lay quiet q few moments, and then
called to a young daughter Of Darilng's,
about fifteen years old, who was the only
witness TO the occuTFance, and asked her
to come to him the gIrl was frightened,
and instead of going 70 Meals she ran 10
a ~nelghbor's about a quarter Of a mile
away and told him about the affair. When
the neighbor got TO Meals he was still ~
ing in the same place, but was yet con-
sciuus. and said that Darling had stabbed
him, and asked to be carried home. The
nelchbor was unable to carry him, and
went after assistance, when he was taken
home. Meals lived about three-quarters
of an hour alter being stabbed. a. D..
Mcclure, Justice of the peace, was notI-
fed of the affair, and issued a warrant for
the arrest of Daring, and went with the
constable to serve 1t. When they got TO
the house, D4rlii G ordered the constable
not to come IN. at ms peril, but told Nc
Clure to come into The house. Darling
said that if any other nan except Mc
Clure, or any six other men, had come
after him they could not have got into the
house, as he was fixed for them. Darling
had an examination on Saturday before
Justice A D. Mcclure. He refused to
give any account OF the affair, except to
say that he did the cutting In self-detense,
The only witness to the affair was the
young girl mentioned above. After hav
ing heard all the testimony, the Justice
bound Darling over TO court IN the sum OF
Sc, 900, which was furnished, and he ls
now at large.
This affair, following 80 soon after the
double murder which occurred in another
part of the same county only a short time
ago, has created a profound sensation.
Both parties are old residents and wei
known throughout the county. Darling
is a man of about fifty years of age, Anc
is SAID TO be worth $l5 600 or $4,000
Darling's reputation Is said to be none d
the best, being Incorporate, vindictivt
and quarrelsome. Meals was a nan o.
about thirty-fve years of age, and Ia saiC
to have borne q very fair reputation. He
leaves a wife and five children.-HaH

CRUsAD1Ne ExrRAoRD1NARY.-On la

CRUsADING ExTRAoRDIEARY.-On last
Saturday afternoon, we observed a well
dressed woman open a swinging shutter
at a saloon door on e. Tuscarawas street,
and peer earnestly and soTrowfully IN the
interior for a few moments, when she step
ped fearlessly in and eoon returned to the
Street l n charge of her worse half, who, in
a sadly fabricated condition, and with IN
certain footsteps attended her with a bowed
and lamb-like docility. This is q new and
effective phase of the crusade movement
that makes the matter one of individual
and personal concern, and if followed up
TO a greater extent might benefit some
weak members very much.
James Efie, more inclined to loaf and
drink and be worthless than attend to his
family, went home on Monday to sleep of
his condition, stretched his dirty carcass,
boots and all on his good wfe's clean and
tidy bed when she was out washing.
When she came home and routed him he
abused her and charged her with stealing
his change when asleep The woman,
forty or over, respectable and industrious
went after her James about a to Mr..
Franks saloon IN the D~annamiller block
and tired to get her hege lord home. Quite
q crowd gathered to hear the earnest words,
not boisterous and sc~reechlng.o OF Mrs.Ehe.
The police finally assisted and started
James home with his wife, but In a few
minutes he was back. Mrs. Ef6e's tenn
perance lecture on the street was not long
but came from the heart and reached all
feeling hearts who heard. Bat we should
not wonder If tue fellow blamed his good
wife for his taking to drink. Since wri-
ting the above we learn the woman was
rudely pushed out of the saloon, her val
a husband looking on We are glad
10 say that very many Of our saloon men
harbor no such nulsances, and would
scorn to abuse a poor harrassed and suffer-
ing woman

DYspepsia DvsnensIal

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all human
ailments. It's symptoms are almost infinite il
their variety, and the fsrlirn and despondenl
victims OF the disease often fancy themselves the
prey In turn, Of every known malady. This is
due, In part, to the close sympathy which exists
betWeen the stomach and the brain, and IN part
also to the fact that any di- turbance Of the dfges-
tive function necessarily disorders the liver, the
bowels and the nervous system, and effects, to
some extent. the quality of the blood.

WoosTER.-Julius W. Fry, then lately
from Germany, engaged 6 months ago
with the Wooster National Bank, and was
discharged about three weeks ago, the
tanning money other than properly. He
Immediately left for the west and it was
discovered next morning he had torn three
blank drafts out of the book. The bank
officers ~telegraphed east and west to put
other banks on their guard. A few days
since the Park bank of New York 1oti-
fed that one of the drafts had been pre-
sented for payment and was refused.
Soon another dispatch from a Chicago
bank enquired about a draft lin favor OF
Fry for 1921 so. Officers were soon on
his track, first to Milwaukee, thence to
Rock Island where he was captured last
Sunday and brought back to Chicago and
IN default of $500 bail was sent to jail
One draft in favor of Rev. Geo. w. Pep

REMARKS.

The eight line article in last weeks
DEMOCRAT only stated that "the temper
ance meeting at the German Reform
church last week was a failure. Now,
with all due respect to ''Veritas" and mr.
itGti we learn the statement WAS DIRECT.
1t seems three weeks ago Tuesday evening
q meeting was held and a committee APP
pointed to draw up and report a constitu-
ton; the week following the constitution
was reported and accepted; the week after
that the officers were to be elected and the
society organized. but that Was a failure
as our article stated. This week, evening
of the 10Th, the officers were chosen. We
should like to publish the constitution, as
i seems the document IS quite liberal,
permitting moderate drinking calling
that seriptural and Temperament How
apt people are to forget or neglect that
important advisory command, DO not
evil that good may come" Let no body
of intelligent people at this day connte-
nance or commend as "~scripturaP" the use
of the manufactured and poisonous stuff
nov generally vended. Let our friends
look about, investigate and recognize the
terrible evils inflicted upon human society
Bad habits corrupt the system. body and
mind and lead 10 vice and to crime. This
Is the tendency. Let good christian peo-
pie say we open their eyes and realize
facts And above all, let men, knowing
the truth dare to proclaim it. Our youth
full correspondent "Veritas" (truth) seems
to labor more at vituperation thaA to
state the facts. We advise him the next
time to avoid the vituperative as 1t is apt
to indicate the blackguard; and we know
our youthful friend, preparing for a learn
ed profession, does not wish to be classed
with those not pare in heart"

MURDER.-A tragedy occurred at North
Benton, a village in Mahoning county,
about eight miles northeast of Alliance, on
,Tuesday morning, June %, in which Ed
ward Hartzell shot and instantly killed
DR.. Conrad. Hartzell was at one time an
inmate of the insane asylum, and it is
probable that his mind was deranged at
the time ne committed the deed. DR.. Con-
rad was passing his house. when, from an
upper window, Hart1ell fired two shots
from a double barreled shot gun, the last
discharge resulting in the immediate death
of his victim, who had received no word or
sign of warning. Hartzell Immediately
reloaded his gun; and as his cousin, Solo
mon Hartzell, came neal the premises, he
fired at him, but without effect. The MUIR
derer was secured, and will doubtless be
adi1dged insane and dealt with as such.

Dedication Of the New Masonic Hall

Dedication Of the New Masonic Hall
On Wednesday, June "a, the new Ma
\ sonic Hall at Louisville, Ohio, was dedlca-
ted with the exercises customary among
the fraternity upon such occasions. The
Canton lodges being the only ones present
from a distance, arrived there al IO:oO
o'clock, and were met at the depot b7 the
members of the Louisville lodge, and
forming in procession, headed by the q.
a R. Band of this city, marched to the
Hall, in Bauman & Merley's new and neat
brick block on Main street. The Hall IS
situated on the third floor, and Is a neat,
commodious and finely furnished lodge
room; ABOUT an hour was occupied by the
Masons in their dedicatory services, and
during that time those hapless non-ma-
sonic individuals. being excluded from
witnessing or engaging in the formalItles
in the Hall, wandered idly about the thirty
ing little town, noticing the important i'm
provements and commercial and
turing advancements. At about u o clock,
the ceremonies at the Hall being conclu-
ded, the procession reformed and after
marching about the streets, proceeded to
a beautiful grove about one-half mile north
of town, where a tempting repasT was be
ing spread upon temporary tables, under
the Sudut VI the lICCe. uL4O pTCpdId-
tons fer dinner were being completed, the
G A. r. Band discoursed music that
charmed all and brought forth high enco-
miums. All arrangements having been
thoroughly consumated, and the wants of
the inner man fully supplied, the assem-
blage congregated about the speakers
stand, when J. w. Underhill, Esq. intro
duced the Rev. c. w Smith as the orator
# TIE day; his address occupied over an
hour, and was listened to wi b the earnest
attention of a deep interest; his remarks
were the most aprcpAs We have ever heard
upon a similar occasion, and.were certainly
delivered in an eloquent and mastery
manner, fully meriting the undisturbed
attention with which they were received.
During the time Of the address, an enter
prisipg Canton photographer was on the
grou2d taking views, assisted at times, by
a well known physician of this city.
The procession returned at about four
O'Clock and busted themselves in looking
about the town, until train time, when
the Canton visitors returned home highly
pleased with the doings OF the day.

$50 SLow."-Some two months or
more ago we admonished our citizens to
ego slow"-net to get wild over the tenn
perance, or crusadlng question. The ex-
perience in the Balser case demonstrates
the folly of getting excited and running
into law. The Balsers got excited and
had MIR. Ely arrested and, We suppose,
lad the costs to pay as they made nc case.
Again, policeman EItnier, clothed with
the strong arm of the law, concluded TO
take q hand and arrested the Balsers, the
crusadlng ladies telling him at the same
time not to arrest the Balsers on their
account. Well, this case was tried and
the Jury did not agree, thus virtually &C
quitting the Balsers and throwing the
costs, some two hundred dollars, upon the
oity. We admonlsh also the police
to ''go slow" ard be not too ready to make
arrests and thus get up expensive Law
suits.
