The committees were then called up
on IN order and reported totals and in-

committees reported increases, some of
them being good round sums. At the
Friday night meeting the total was re.

and made stirring appeal to the people.
He has been feTveDt, untiriDg worker
in the cause for three years past and has
neglected his business and personal
affairs in order to concentrate all his
energies In the work. MIR. schaefer has
labOred faithfully, and whenever he has
spoken before an audience upon the
Dueber subject he has always made able
and argumentstiVe statements.
MR.. sCHAEFER
Said 1t was his desire to telegraph Mr
DuebeT that the amount was raised and
appealed to the Board of Trade, of which
he is member, and to the ciiiz3ns gen
orally to guarantee to stand by him In
seeing that the deficiency was made
Some subscriptions would, no doubt, be
lost through deaths, removals and Othey
cauaes. These emergencies would have
to be provided for and he wanted to see
the brOtherly feeling which has joined
the entire community in the present
issue continue, so, that by harmonious
working, Canton would continue tC
push forward. He spoke of the prOba
bility of the Soldiers Home locating
at Meyers lake and said Canton had
done herself proud and sent the fame oi
her name broadcast throughout the
country. Mr.. Schsefer's remarks were
loudly spplauded. Sr--c.I-----I r---..
