Valley Railway improvements.

With the advent of Spring the man
agement of the Valley Railway con
templates some extensive improve
ments, which will greatly add to the
value of this popular line and give ac-
commodations to travellers such as
have not heretofore been enjoyed. The
old passenger cars, which have become
much worn, will be displaced by new
Pullman coaches of the latest and most
approved designs. These new coaches
will be run on the fast trains and will
afford fine accommodations and great
comfort, so that it will be a pleasure to
travel i'll them through the beautiful
valley of the Cuyahoga The new
coaches will have toilet rooms for both
ladies and gentlemen and will be models
Of beauty. The will be put on track
about the first of March and possibly
sooner and will surely be much apprec-
lated by the many people of this city
who travel over that road.
The Valley has for some time past
been making new connections at the
southern end of itsline, and which have
already been mentioned in these col
umns, and will give it better facilities
for both passenger and freight business
than it has heretofore enjoyed. BY
these connections it will reach Southern
and Southeastern Ohio and will connect
with the important roads in those sec
tions so that it will reach out in that
way as never before.

SQUIRE YANT IMPROVING.

Will Pull Through,

Hopes Are Now Entertained That He
Will Pull Through.
Daniel j. Yant, who was waylaid on
Thursday night and horribly beaten
with coupling pin, is gradually grow
ing better, and hopes are now enter
tanned of his recovery. He is confined
in a dark room and no one except his
wife is permitted to see BIN. He is
conscious at times, but after talking
becomes very fiighty. lie recognized
his physician this morning, and spoke
to him for time about his wounds and
the pain he suffers from them. The
swelling in his face has gone down SO
that he can open his eyes. The physi
clans say he is much better than they
expected him to be at this time.
Mr.. Yant has slight recollection OF
being attacked on Thursday night. He
was walking along Cherry street and
thought he heard somebody behind
him. Just as he was in the act of
turning around to see who it was, he
received blow above the right eye,
which felled him to the ground. 1t is
very probable that after he becomes
fully conscious of what has taken place
he may be able to tell all about the,
affraY.

schaefer's Opera House.

The Opera House should present a
very gay appearance next Tuesday
evening, with the full house which will
assemble to greet the popular TRACED
ian, Mr.. Thos. w. Keene, on his return
after several years absense.
His support is said to be all that
could be desired, and the play selected
is one of Shakespeare's greatest, there
fore everyone in the house should be
happy. We predict they will be so.
Notwithstanding the superior quality
of Keene as an attraction and the enor-
nous expense of his immense company
the price of the best seats has been
placed at one dollar, remarkably low
figure for such a performance, but a
figure that will no doubt be appreciated
by the public to the extent of the house
will hold. The sale of seats opened on
Tuesday morning, and great many
have been taken. The indications are
they will all be sold before the doors
open for the performance.

trary, however, it is not only the ex-
hibition of trick, but is absolute
proof that the baking powder which
so acts is aqulterated. The chemists
have ascertained that the adulterant
used is a chemical added for
the express purpose of producing this
action and deceiving hOusekeepers as
to the true value of the baking powder.
This is not only dishonest trick but
dirty one, for the chemical is the pre-
duct of the filthy refuse of the slaught-
er house, and if this baking powder is
used in the preparation of food passes
into the biscuit or cake without change.
OF course, any statements made in
reference to other baking powder, by
parties caught in practising such tricks
as these for the purpose of deceiving
the public, will be entitled to credit.
1t is probably wisest in the interest of
our families, and to prevent our food
from being contaminated by tramps of
this kind, to turn all persons who wish
or attempt to tamper with,it uncere-
moniously from the door, and to use
those articles only which experience
has proved satisfactory, or the official
tests have established as pure and
wholesome.

Massillon Independent: The Clarity
School Farm has been leased for one
year, and l, M. Allen and family will
move to Canton in April. This was
his intention one year ago, but was
frustrated by the unforeseen. The prop

opened as school.
Mr., j. II. Werner is receiving the
congratulations of his friends over the
action of the Carrollton Courts in sus-
tanning his demurrer to the indictments
against him. The action of Judge
Raley virtually settles the case and the
matter will probably be dropped. We
are pleased that Mr.. Werner is thus
freed of a very unjust charge.
Gen. S. H. Hurst, will deliver an ad.
dress on Ohio's First Century and the
Centennial Exposition, on Thursday
afternoon, March l, in Canton. The
object of this meeting is to complete
the county organization of a Centen.
nial society to aid in getting out a rep
resentative exhibit of Molly Stark's
productions. Let all turn out and you
will be well repaid for your trouble.
Gen. S. II. Hurst will be at Canton on
the afternoon of March 1st, for the
purpose of furthering the interests of
the County Centennial Society. We
urge upon the Council and manufac-
turing establishments the necessity of
attending upon this meeting. Other
counties are at active work with Gen.
Hurst, and it is highly essential
that old Molly Stark be up and doing
if she desires to retain the place she is
entitled to at this grand exposition at
Columbus.

chairman of the Finance Committee of
the Board of Trustees of the Associa-
ton, said the Akron Association had a
nominal membership of POO which he
contrasted with Canton's membership
of about 400 and then, as Secretary
Gould had done, spoke of the fact that
the young men Of Canton had raised
$S,020 and would make it $1,000 to
buy a lot for a building and not dol
lar of it paid by men over 30 or 50
years Of age. 1t was said that Canton
would have an ASSOCIATION building
with in the year; that Cleveland would
have new and larger building ana
that Akron, situated between these two
points, must up and labor so as not to
be found tagging.

rhree Thousand Dollars for an Arm,

The case of Christian Vol2er vs., The
Penn'a Railroad Co, which was to be
tried in the L. 5, Circuit Court last
week, was settled before coming to
trial by the plaintiffs attorneys, Harter,
Day and Lynch, and the solicitor of
the road, Mr.. James Carey, Mr., Volzer
lost his arm at Wheeling, w, Va, by
tripping in hole in the platform and
being thrown under the cars. Suit was
first brought in the Common Pleas
Courts of this county, but the defend

Court because the defendant was a
foreign corporation The case was
settled by the company paying Mr..
Volzer $1,000 and the costs in the case.

An Exhibition of Gall.

Secretary Frazer, of the Humane
Society, is frequently in receipt Of tele-
grams requesting him to investigate
into alleged acts of cruelty. Some OF
these messages are vague and obscure,
as witness the following:
HARTvILLE, o., Feb. 81.
SECRETARY HUMANE SOCIETY, Can
ton:--Man here has abused his horse.
Send officer on next train. CITIZENS.
Mr.. Frazer, of course, cannot take
action in such a case, for reasons too
apparent to need explanation. In ad-
dition to sending such an obscure tele-
grams the "citizens" who asked Mr.
Frazer for his assistance were impolite
enough to make him pay the tolls on
the telegram.

Make it Two Cents.

There is an organized movement
among Cleveland business men to urge
the Legislature of Ohio to adopt law
fixing the rate for railroad fare at 2
cents per mile. The Leader says, edi-
torially: "We are not one of those who
would legislate against the will of the
railroad companies in wanton or dem
agogic spirit. The railroads have been
one of the greatest and most useful
agencies in promoting our national
growth and should be dealt with in a
just and reasonable spirit. But we be
lieve that the interests of the railways
are identical in this matter. We are
confident that the proposed reduction
of fares will be for their financial ben
eft as well as the benefit of the people
Reductions in rates of transportation
have always been attended by such an
increase of business as to make the
change profitable. We believe it will
be so in this case.
All over the country the demand is
going up to the state legislature for
reduction in railway fares. Two cents
a mile is what they all ask. The in
crease of population iustifies it, and
the railway companies should cheer
fully accept the situation and respond
to the public desire. The Ohio Legis-
lature should adopt the two cent mile
rate seeing that the railroads will not
do it on their own account.

A Successful Physician.

The Alliance Standard, August ~,
1887, says; When in Cleveland a short
time since we utilized little spare
time visiting the well known Albert
Medical Institute on Superior street
and were well repaid for making the
visit. We found the genial Dr. Albert
busy consulting with patients, dictat-
ing letters, preparing medicines, etc,
and were struck with the splendid sys-
tenn under which the vast business of
the Institute is conducted.
Personally DR.. Albert is not only a
skillful and experienced physician but
he is.a thorough gentleman and so kind
and agreeable that he at once wins the
confidence of those with whom he
comes in contact. That he is physi-
clan of remarkable ability and wonder
ful success his great and constantly in
creasing practice fully attests. We
have had business dealings with DR..
Albert for the past five years and we
have found him to be in every sense Il
straightforward and reliable gentleman.
DR.. Albert's next visit to Canton will
be Thursday, March Sth.
