OUTWITTING THE SHERIFF,

They have been trying a clergyman at
Dixon, H., for poisoning his wife. A
great crowd Of ladies attended the pro-
ceedings, and they allwanted front seats.
One night, when the court had al
journed, the sheriff couldn't get these
LADIES' TO leave the room. They had
brought blankets and other mfortabIes
with them, and expressed "a determna-
ton 70 stay all night, that they might be
on hand bright and early next, morning.
The sheriff, upon this, as gently as pos
sibIe, put them out He then locked
the door and went home. Then it was
that the Dixon women showed that they
were equal to the emergency. Obtain
ing tnirty-fo0t ladder, they climbed
inIo the courtroom windows, and when
the sheriff opened the courtroom the
next morning, there they were comfort
ably seated on the front benches
Womans wit was too much for the
whole law OF Illinois In the person OF
the sheriff,

AN ITEM ON THE GAS QUESTION Cleveland
Gas Company EAST Side) sell one hundred and sir
" millions cubic feet of gas per annum. All pri-
vate consumers pay two dollars per thousand.
Canton never has consumed sic millions cubic feet
per annum, and yet we have men in authority
that are trying to compel our Gas Company 10 fur
nish gas at S225 gas coal almost the same in both
places Comment is needless the mere statement
is sufficient In this connection we will add that
typographical error occurred in the letter Of the
Gas Company to Council as published in our last
issue by saying 'in the city" instead of for the
city" as the communication read. The company
have not agreed to sell gas to private consumers
for any less than $3.50 In this connection we
may also add that City Solicitor welty told the
Council that while they had the right to pass an
ordinance regulating the price Of gas they could
not compel the Gas Company to furnish the gas
at such prices

This is plated wire combination boiler, steam

the many advantages Of the Kitchen Gem, In
cooking vegetables you hang inside pot and
you reed use little water, you cook them quick
er and dryer and they can't burn. When they
are done. you lift the Gem out Of the pot: it
drains OFF quickly, which is very desirable for
green's, cabbage. turnirs and potatoes. For steam
ing dumpings puddings, head crumpets and
apples it is excellent AS an egg boiler it has no
equal. For making soup, you put the soupmeat
and vegetables together and serve separately
The Gem is made of timed plated wire, and for
durability and utility it is decided success. 1t
cooks hominy and besns without danger of burn
ing them. Price, rs and 50 cents and 81. James

richest and choicest music ever performed by the
Grand Army Band, of Canton, o, This band, it
will be remembered, gave series of concerts at

they closely rivaled the famous Marine Band of

been under the supervision of Pittsburghs we'll
known musical director, Professor T. +. Kirk, who
has, perhaps dozen or more bands under course
of instruction at present, .among which may be
mentioned the R. B. Robinson Band, of this city.
