Advertising bv Circulars.

There is a good deal of grumbling over the
circular nuisance just now. Every morning
mail is likely to bring to you heap Of envel-
opes addressed iE a neat hand and scaled and
stamped like letters which, when you open
them, prove to be but invitations from tho
shoemaker or the halter, the tailor, dress
maker or who not e.Se. to patronize him, her
or it Very often the envelopes bear some
monogram, crest or emblem to make them
look less like what they really are. One Of
the latest is done up in the style of n tele-
graphic dispatch, and at first glance would
be tnken for such The social directories are
responsible for the utility Of the scheme l
cannot believe that it will compare with the
good old fashion Of advertising in the news
papers, while, to judge from the fine quality
Of the stationery used and tho printing on it
and the cost Of postage, it must represent a
very considerable expense to those who prac-
tice it-Alfred Trumble in New York News

Bull Fighting Prohibited in Mexico.

Gen. Gonzales, formerly president Of the
Republic, and now governor Of the state Of
Guanajuato, has taken a bold and decisive
step in decreeing the suppression Of bull
fighting in that state. He declares that the
sport is demoralizing and leading the people
into habits of N5lstefulness and disorder, and
that the employment Of large sums for con-
structing bull rings and maintaining them is
entirely improper in the present state Of civ
ilization.
He declares that educational interests and
manufacturing enterprises suffer from the
use of so much money in this barbaric sport,
and that habits Of public order and economy
are destroyed by it. Accordingly he orders
the summary prohibition Of bull fighting in
his state.-New York Evening Sun.

That Tired Feeling

Season is here again, and nearly every one
feels weak, languid, and exhausted. The
blood, laden with impurities which have
been aceumulatiug for months, moves slug
gishly through the veins, the mind fails to
think quickly, and the body is still slower
to respond. Hoods Sarsaparilla is just what
is needed. It is. in a peculiar sense, the
ideal spring medicine. 1t puri6es, vitalizes,
and enriches the blood, makes the head clear,
creates an appetite, overcomes that hired
feeling, and imparts new strength and vigor
to the whole body.

official DENIAL OF Recent Repository
Rumor.
As some of our real estate operators
have been and are circulating the re-
port that the Pennsylvania r. r. Com
pany contemplates locating their re-
pair and car shops, now in Allegheny,
in Canton, and that the company de-
signs purchasing the Aultman works
or the Cook farm for that purpose, Mr..
Schaefer on the Bird inst. addressed a
letter to Mr.. A. B. Starr, superintendent
OF the eastern division, at Allegheny,
as follows:
CANTON. March 3, 1888.
A. B. STARR. ESQ, Dear Sir:-Dol t
censure me for boring you with these
lines, but one of our papers published
the probability of your contemplating
the removal Of your car and repair
shops elsewhere, and as this is becOm-
ing a great city, and having proposed
to you about two years ago a grant OF
a donation of thirty acres Of elegant
land for location, feel eXcusable i'll
inQuiring for information.
Respectfully, LOUIS SCHAEFER.
In reply to this Mr.. Schaefer received
the following:
PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY,
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT
OF EASTERN DIVISION.
A. b. STARR, Superintendent.
ALLEGHENY. Pa, March 3, 1888.
Mr.. LOUIS SCHAEFER, Canton, Ohio
Dear Sir:-ln reply to yours of the
Sd, would say, that cannot understand
why such report as that to which yJu
refer could have originated, as do not
think the question of moving the shops
from Allegheny has ever been consid-
cred, or even suggested. Should the
question ever come up and 1t become
necessary to look for another location,
you may be assured the advantages
possessed by your city will not be over
looked. Gous truly,
\. b. STARR, superintendent.
Reports like those above referred to
may have proven successful in Wichita,
Findlay and other like doomed and
doomed cities. In Wichita the real
estate spectators bought acres on
option outside the city limits, COM
menced hauling brick at one point Of
the tract, lumber and stone at another
point to fool others, and by creating the
impression that purchasers are plenty,
when such buffers and blowers sold lots
to each other at high figures to draw in
the green ones. We hope no such game
is played here on innocent and credu-
lous citizens. What we want in Can
ton is healthy progress. Booming is
dangerous, and causes people to come
here under false impressions.

been exceptions, but too often are jur-
ors imbued with the idea that their
oath requires them to convict.
Though the Judge may tell them that
the accused must receive the benefit of
al doubts, ye; many juror entertalns
no doubt.
The recent Grand jury of Carroll
county found several indictments
against parties, and the court ruled
them out; and many indictments
should be ruled out that are not. In
dividual malice sometimes wreaks ven
geance through a Grand jury; a Grim
inal oftimes seeks to save himself by
duplicating another, encouraged there
to by officers of the law! What farce
is justice, and how uncertain the in
struments of justice!
In the Stark county common pleas
court the her day the jury disagreed,
standing six to six. This was
the second, if not the third time a jury
had disagreed on the accused. The
indictment charged forgery. The ac
cused is poor, and it is claimed the in
dictment is the result of spite work
However, juries disagreeing as they
have, shows doubt. Why not give him
the benefit of the doubt? Why con
tinue to harrass and persecute in this
way? Why not temper justice with

The Chicago Tribune has this to say
to such papers ofits own political faith
as the Cleveland Leader and Repository
that blather "free trade" at President
Cleveland's message and every proposed
revision and reduction of tariff taxa
ton:
To say that persons holding these
opinions are free traders" and are try
ing to subject the country to a system
of free trade is abject nonsense.
Ninety nine Republicans out of every
hundred in Chicago and the west are
opposed to excessive and needless tariff
taxation. They want a few raw
materials, such as lumber, salt, coal,
wool, and iron ore, to be put upon the
free list. But they want these mater
ials to come in free for the purpose of
promoting and stimulating our manu-
factuers not to injure them.

INTO ETERNITY!
Frightful Railway Accident at Pc
kin Yesterday Evening.
Mrs George w. Harpel and Little Babe
Struck by a Cleveland & Canton
Freight The Unfortunate Wo-
man Instantly Killed.

Today the home of Mr.. George W
Harpel, residing at Pekin, this county
is shrouded in mourning, and an aw
full calamity has befallen the husband
and father.
Lying in stiffness of death is the cold
pale form of a loved wife and mother
stricken down in the fullness OF health
while an innocent little babe lies at the
verge of death, both victims OF a ter.
rible calamity, the result OF "a fatal
mistake.
About half-past four O'Clock yester'
day afternoon Mrs. Harpel, carrying
her twenty-months old babe IN her
arms, residing with her husband, Geo.
w. Harpel, an employe OF the ZEN
mock Car WORKS at Minerva, at PeKln,
one mile from Minerva, attempted to
cross the track of the Cleveland y
Canton railway in front Of engine No.
&. drawing freight train No. 80, which
vas bearing down upon her at the rate
of fifteen miles an hour. Mrs. Harpel
must have observed the train, but evil
IDENTIFY reasoned that she had sufficient
time 10 cross the track. Inc englueei
sounded the customary alarm, and re
Yersed his engine, but 1t was TOO Iate'
In an instant tile engine had struck
the unfortunate woman, and hurled
uer several feet into the air.
Medical assistance was summoned
from Minerva at once by the horror
stricken spectators, and a telegram was
sent to Or. 4. Ii. Phillips, OF this city
the surgeon Of the Cleveland y Canton
road, DR.. Phillips LETT Immediately on
a special train. Arriving at Pekin, he
found the woman dead, and the child
very seriously injured.
Dir. POcock, of Minerva, had arrived
shortly after the accident. lie found
the woman dead, having expired a few
MINUTES after the dreadful accident.
An examination showed that the
woman's neck had been broken. In
addition to this she suffered internal
injuries. The babe was injured i'll sew
eral places, but the extent OF the injury
is not known. The child is still alive
this morning, and DR.. Pocock is hope
ful OF its recovery,
Among those who witnessed the ac-
cideht were Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Taber,
and a Mr.. Crowl, of Pekin. They say
CndC tle 0HSlueeL gave oA4 CAC ""Ah4HB
possible and did all in his power TO stop
mis- train, but WAS unsuccessful. They
think Mrs. Harpel believed she had
ample time to cross the track,
The unfortunate woman was Miss
Sheldon, and was born and raised in
Carrollton. Her husband is the son OF
Mr.. Fred Harpel, farmer of Hartville,
this county. At the time of her awful
death the unfortunate woman was
about 33 years of age.
There is q moral in the above which
will bear pointing out. Never be SO
thoughtless as to run any risk in
crossing track in advance of a train.
Hundreds of lives are lost annually in
this manner. Why will people not
learn and profit by such examples?
