DIED..

FBEeGEs-In Canton, on the 18th inst, after a
lingering illness, Mrs Bsgges, wife OF DaVlo J'
Begges, aged about 80 years.
Mrs, Begges had beena citizen Of Canton for
many years. and was we'll known to our citizens
as a woman of high worth and energy Of tharsc-
ter. sh had long been an active member of the
Presbyterian church Of this city, and from the so-
cal church gatherings she will be greatly missed.
REPRESENTATION the 10th inst, at Wooster. o.,
of congestion of the lungs, Mrs Elizabeth Briden-
thai, aged 81 years, months, and q days
The deceased was born in Wooster, Nov. II, 1928.
In IS4 at the age of IS she united with the Bapts'
church of that city. and at the time OF her death
was a consistent and an esteemed member OF the
Baptist church of Canton, For several years Can
ron has been her home, both in the church and
community; she made numerous friends winning
their love and regard by her many excellencies'
and her habitual willingness to contribute to the
happiness of the society into which she was
thrown. Having been called to Wooster to wait
at the bedside of her dear mother, she hastened
thither. But only for one short week was she per-
mitted to show her love by ministering to the he
cessities of her parent. Taking severe cold, she
soon became the greater sufferer and after few
days of great pain, she breathed her last-dying
peacefully and without alarm. Heavy is the
blow that has fallen upon the bereaved husband.
The dead companion of thirty-one years, has left
him in sorrow and loneliness, May the dear Re
deemer in this the hour of his great grief, be his
unlaiing comforter, and reveal H mself to His
servant in grace and blessing all through the jour
ney of life, To all, this bereavement speaks, its
language is, BE ye also ready for in an hour ye
think not the Son of Man cometh."

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

An uptown chap has been making speeches to
audiences in different townsin this locality. Some
of our exchanges speak of the young D. D. id

His voice was as the rushing of the wind around
abank barn-Grdpe Gro,Uers Bugle.
The magnetic effect of his auricular gesticula-
tions was simply escribable,-Butcher'S Gap

His eloquence was electrical, so was the awk-
ward activity of his feet.-AIe-gin Post,
His ears were as fans to mighty windmill and
whine he belched forth like fog horn, and shot
sincere words of wisdom from his soup cooler, his
audience, as one man. went over the way and
drank tarantula juice-Sporting Times
When he opened his mouth 1t seemed as though
his head was Kept in place with but slender
read.-BeertOdukee NetcS

dience seemed hushed in peaceful slumber.-

These and many other flattering notices have
been written of him; and as the spring election
campaign will soon be opened, we take this meth
cd of bringing him before the notice of the voters
of Canton, who will doubles have an opportunity
of hearing him in efforts more eloquent than those
which called forth the above notices

SPELLING SCHOOL.

large number attended the spelling school at
at the 1st NJ. e. Church on Tuesday evening. The
amusement began about IN o'clock. James s.
Tonner being chosen master of ceremonies, l. N.
Kinney pronouncer and A. D. Braden and Miss
Ellen Holm captains. The captains stood on OPP
posite sides of the house and chose their spoilers
from among the audience These sides spelled for
some time against each other, many simple words
having been missed; one young man missed the
most simple word given, all because he leaped
without looking; the word given was "posy," and
he wondered for moment whether it was Posey
county. Indiana or rosy-posy; then he spelled the
former, and went to grass to look for the latter;
Miss Holm the champion of last weeks engage
ment; took her seat on a comparatively easy word,
and one by one they all went down except Mr..
Braden on one side and H Cock on the opposition
side; theword "Guatemala" name ofa G. American
city, was given from the spelling book and spelled
by the latter gentleman different from the way it
was there given; Mr.. Braden spelled 1t as the book
gave it, and was declared winner. Upon subse-
quent examination 1t was found that Mr. Cock had
spelled the word correctly, though different from
Mr. Braden's spelling. After recess all who desired
to spell took places around the room, and Rev. c.
W. Smith gave out words from an article in the
Galazy which soon thinned the number of partic-
ipants, and finally brought all to their seats among
the audience. The occasion was thoroughly en-
joyed by all present, and we hope to see it repeat
ed frequently

OUR GAS FITTING MAN.


Our gas fitting man will not gas of the bill,
That was scratched. till ii was an acceptable pill,
Sugar-coated so nice and fixed up without ques-
ton
No doubt well prepared flor his inward digestion,
That gas fitting bill that was scratched so away
That the price of each item might not see the day,
Was done for some purpose-for are we not told,
There's q reoson for all, If we can but unfold2
A wonderful man is our gas fitting buyer,
Ambitious To mount and get higherand higher
But the ladd," he uses he soon kicks away,
And his assea he only requires to obey
But our gas fitting man now has something TO do,
The great water question he's got to wade through.
He never believed in the "deluge" before,
But for him 1t may be there is justice in store.
That gas fitting bill Is troublesome thing,
And tells, without doubt OF nice little ring!
Where addition, division and silence" was tho't
To make everything safe.so he could not be
caught.
But alas for the failure of human design,
When fraud Is the object for which they combine
The BOSS" may swell big and grow rich in the
purse,
But the gain thus obtained may yet tnrn to a
curse.

COURT AFFALRS.

"The laws delay" and "the glorious
uncertainty of the law" were never ex-
hibited in bolder relief than in the dis
position of the business thus far at the
Spring term of the Common Pleas Court,
which commenced Monday of last week,
Judge Frease on the bench. The usual
throng Of lawyers crowded the space
allowed to the legal fraternity, and at
later period in the week we noticed Hon.
John McSweeney's presence.
The dockets contain; First trial causes,
800; second trial, "a; criminal at least
forty cases, which went over from last
term. BY the arrangement of the cases
the second trial cases will be tried first,
then the criminal cases from last term,
then the first trials, and lastly the in
dictments found at last term. The irst
day of March is fixed for the murder
cass of Cribbley ct al, which will be re-
membered as the poisoning case from
Fulton. We are not prep lred to say that
it will be tried, but we suppose it will
take precedence when the day shall ar
rive of all other business, and will be
disposed of in some form-i. e., tried or
continued.
On the opening of Court His Honor,
who is always ready. commenced calling
the civil docket, after which the criminal
cases continued from last term, which.
with the empanneling of the Grand In
quest, occupied the entire day. Mr.. Ma
lin, of Paris, was appointed foreman,
and the jury are at work unearthing
crime. On the second trial docket all
tHe cases up to the case of Rebecca A.
Bahney vs.. Nicholas Sibila, a Massillon
Adair Law Case, were disposed of when
first called, and this case being set for
Wednesday, the Court had little to do
until that time, except such routine busi-
ness as interests nobody particularly, but
is OF special Importance to lawyers and
clients.
On Wednesday morning Mrs. Bahney,
through her attorneys, Messrs. McSwee-
ney and Pease, moved for continuance,
and the Court, on hearing the motion
concluded it was well made, and the case
went over. The case of Caroline Bolles
vs. Fisher, another "Adair Law case, u
was then taken up, and the jury brought
in verdict of fifty dollars.
Haines VS.. Greiner, Steel ct al. Action
on promissory note. Trial to the Court
Held under advisement. Lynch q Day
for plaintiff, and Meyer and Parker fol
defendant.
Samuel Lesser VS.. Albert G. Beach
Action upon two contracts to manufac'
ture railroad ties. On trial Folger
Case and Lynch for plaintiff; Pease
Wise and Col. S. Meyer for defendant.
The Court, on motion of Mr.. Parker
prosecutor, appointed Mr.. Folger assist

personal property under false pretences

EDITOR DEMoCRAT-Perhaps there is
10 town in the State whose past history
las been more brilliant than our town of
llliance. Although scarce fifteen years
I'D, it contains some six thousand in
labtantJ, being the center of a division
III me p, Ft, w. & G. r. X. 1t is the
nome of about two hundred railroad
men, and together with numerous manu-
factories and rail mill of no small ca
.,acity, it has enjoyed good degree of
prosperity. But this winter we seem to
De somewhat under cloud. A few Of
our manufactures, together With our rail
mill, have been compelled to suspend
running, which has thrown a great many
hands out of employment, and conse-
luently many families have been thrown
lpon the charities Of the people. Thus
ar they have responded nobly. The
leaders of the crusade have formed them
selves into a relief society, and have done
much good in relieving the suffering
loor. They have no doubt learned that
the true way to reform men is 10 do them
good, and by their example lead them to
higher and better life. The churches
are all doing their share of the good
work by raising relief funds and "dis-
Cributing to the necessities of the saints"
Quite grand affair came off on the
evening of the 18th inst. at College Hall.
A calico ball, gotten up for charity pur-
poses, had been the theme of gossip for
some time, and as theinvitation was gen.
eral, about four hundred of both sexes
assembled to "trip the light fantastic"
Fhe spacious hall accommodated thirty
quadrile sets on the floor at time, and
as two hundred AID forty moved through
the changes of the dance, keeping time
to the excellent music furnished by the
Salem band, it presented q lively and in
teresting scene. Quite number of la
dies ami gentlemen from Canton and Sa-
lem were present, adding interest to the
occasion. A supper was served in the
College chapel, which was well patron
lied. The receipts were some four hun
dred dollars.
The Louisiana Congressional Investi-
eating Committee dined at the Sourbeck
House on the 18th, on their way back to

THE WILSON'S.

The Nilsson Quartette Club, OF this
city, on Wednesday evening enjoyed
sleigh ride, and attended social party at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Noble, a few
miles northeast of Massillon, where they
enjoyed pleasant evening. They rem
dered an excellent programme of select
vocal pieces, and were most agreeably en-
tertained by their host and hostess. A
number of guests were present from
Massillon, and altogether the evening
proved one of the most pleasant ever
spent by this most excellent club, in the
way of parlor concert amusement. The
Missions are rehearsing number of new
and beautiful pieces, and will soon be
prepared to give musical entertainments
of the very hig 'est order.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP.

Mr.. EDITOR Your account of the
spelling last week was quite interesting,
especially to those of our country boys
who attend spelling school every week.
That move which you speak of has been
in Jackson township all winter. The
spelling at Mt. Airy, last week, was more
than usually interesting, on account of
the literary talent displayed by some of
the pupils and teachers present. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Messrs. John
Holl, Laz. Bachtel, S. Thomas and others.
The order and spelling were remarkably
good, all enjoyed themselves, and each
one felt that it was good for him to be
there. The school is under the superin-
tendence of Mr.. G. M. Smith, one of our
live teachers, who attends the institute
and keeps pace with the times. He is
one of the few successful teachers, hav-
ing been in the profession a number of
years. JACKSON.

FREE MoNEY.-Mr. Westrop, who failed
to lecture OH the money question on
Friday evening last week, will positively
lecture in the Opera House on Friday
evening of this week, Feb. 10th. Lee
ture will commence at "a o'clock.
Of his lecture in Wooster, the Wayne
County Democrat says:
"Mr. Westrop then explained the Of
fee of meney, what constituted sound
currency, how the abolition of interest is
to be accomplished by repeating all ar
bitrary laws. He demanded that the
Government wash its hands of the
money question, that it has no more
right to NEEDLE with it than ithas to un-
dertake to supply the people with wag-
ons-that we must have free money in
place of despotic money. Mr.. Westrop
handled this question, and some of the
men in high places witoout gloves.
He spoke for about an hour and twenty
minutes, and was listened to with great
attention.

DYSPEPSIA DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA I

Dyspepsia is the most peplexing of all human
ailments Its symptoms are almost infinite in their
variety and the forlorn and respondent victims Of
the diseese often fancy themselves of the prey, in
turn, of every known maladay. 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 disturbance of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver the bowels and the
nervous system, and effects, to some extent, the
quality of the blood.

THE citizens Of Youngstown are certainly In.

Bridge Company for the faithful mannerin which
they have labored to complete the bridge at Spring
Common The weather has been severely cold.
and at times it seemed beyond human endurance
to continue the work, exposed as they have been
to the keen and searching winds from the north
that strike them as they sweep down the valley
of the Mahoning. From present appearances the
bridge will be SO far completed that it can be used
tomorrow. 1t is certain that workmen possessing
less nerve and power of endurance would have
abandoned the job before this, and thus have de-
prved the city of convenience that all must have
