COMPANY |.
AN IMPORTANT MEETING HELD LAST
EVENING

The City to be oonvassed for Contributing
members-New Candidates Initiated
Into the Company
The Company boys assembled last
night at the armory to undergo an inspec>
ton OF all accoutrements, which, as usual
was very satisfactory both to the inspector
and men. After the inspection the boys
went through the various movements res
quIred in loading, and succeeded in acr
complishing il very creditably. The CONS
pany then formed in two ranks and
marched down to the street where the foot
movements pre- scribed by the tactics we're
practiced for about an hour and h half,
when the boys returned to the armory,
and after the order Of "Attention" had
been given, an invitation to participate In
the Labor Day celebration was read and
on motion was unanimously accepted.
The subject of dress uniform was next
brought before he company, 1t was also
requested that four men volunteer to take
up the list for contributing members, and
to use their utmost efforts to procure
names. Those who involved this duty
upon themselves were Messrs. Josiah
Harizell Dr., Harry Votaw, Edward
Harris and r.. F. Zssinger.
L. is an absolute requirement that
the company have the dress uniforms, or
the possibility of their Chicago project is
n failure. 1! is also n necessity that some
definite arrangements be arrived at by
next Tuesday evening. In consideration
of the excellent showing which the com.
pany made at Camp Huron, and the aps
probation of their efforts by the officers
in command of the regiment, it is scarcely
saying too much to say that they deserve
the support of every business man in the
city Of Canton.
After the meeting the usual initiation
Of the latest accessories to the company
occurred. On the part Of some however
this pleasant ceremony did not seem to
be appreciated, aud II was necessary for
the boys TO charge upon chair legs, ETC.,
TO gain possession of the victim, after
which he was led to his fate, which is
described in the following manner:
A large scoop was placed under the
faucet of the toilet stand, the end of which
protruded over large bucket, the head
of the unhappy victim being placed be-
tween the scoop and the bucket the water
was allowed TO flow to its utmost capacity,
and their appearance after the initiation,
partook of the nature of drenched cat
after a storm. After these solemn rites
had been duly performed, the boys
dispersed to their various homes full of
meditation over the events OF the evening
and whistling, "Oh, what difference in
the morning" iu strain loud enough to
catch the ears of those who had been so
pleasantly entertained with the initiation
ceremony.

CLEVELAND GAMING IN ILLINOIS,
A Heavy Accession at the Stock Yards
Yesterday Amid Great Applause.


CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Two fat men opened
the campaign at the stock yards yester-
day. One was a Republican and the other
a Democrat. They jawed about the tariff
and silver question for half hour and
then began to banter each other on run
ming a foot race. Nelson Bush, the Re.
publican, works for keenan, & Sons, the
commission firm. He weighs 275 pounds,
but managed to get around through the
yards at lively clip, and has always
claimed to be light on his feet for such a
"hefty man." Several times he has
defeated other big men in running
matches.
Moses Weinberg is German. He
ships stock from Augusta, ILL.,, weighs 23O
pounds, and is Democratic to the last
ounce. After discussing politics with
Bush, the man who sells hogs, he agreed
to run foot race, the loser to vote the
other mans ticket this fall. Several
traders witnessed the agreement, which
was made in Exchange hall. The total
length of the hall is about fifty yards.
While the two contestants were pulling
their coats a crowd of 400 people from the
yards and offices flocked in to see the
great race. The men toed mark at one
end of the hall and the spectators, in top
boots and shirt sleeves, lined up along the
course, 1t was agreed that the frat who
touched the blackboard should be declared
winner. The word was given, and the
two moved off in ponderous lope that
caused the windows to rattle. Bush set
the pace at first, but the men from Au-
gusta, carrying nearly fifty pounds less
weight, drew away from him and jumped
into the black hoard three lengths ahead.
While the race was on all the trAders
howled with excitement.
"That means the whole Democratic
ticket, from top to bottom" said Vein.
berg, as he puffed to get his breath back
"Not much,n said the defeated man
"I'll vote for Cleveland but can't stand
the county ticket"

A SUPPRESSED SENSATION
Finally Appears in the MaosilloniS
With Much Elaboration Of Detail.

Finally Appears in the Massillonion,
With Much Elaboration Of Detail.
An unfortunate affair which occurred in
the office of City Solicitor Turner on
Friday last, was suppressed in all the
Canton newspapers, and all the reporters
located here for outside papers, agreed
not to print it. Hence the News DEMO
cRAT did not print it, although the sup>
preston was against our judgment. 1t
would have been better for all concerned
to have printed a plain unvarnished
statement of the unfortunate affair at the
time, and then the gossipS would have
ceased to roll 1t over and under their
tongues as sweet morsel.
But In the early days OF this week a
reporter of tho Massilionian has been
doing Canton and of course this was too
big an item for him to miss, and faith
he prints IL in the Massillonian Of last
/ evening; and as q matter OF course there
was rush to the news stands to scan the
| infelicitious recital. The only new thing
| In the account as printed In the Massillon-
| ian is that the woman in the case, used q
26 inch whip which she purchased at the
| Canton Hardware company. The Massil-
ionian closes its story with the following
! thrilling observations:
"The story has been handed around
Canton for three days and the affair has
caused as much sensation as w. e,
Sefton's withdrawal from orthodox Nc
| Kinleyism."
An ex- member OF the city council, one
of the parties villifed by the Sunday
Herald, rushed into the news stand and
secured copy. Then he took the first
electric car for Massillon, where he bought
up the entire remaina of last evenings

ton in Canton, This proves that II Ii

the case of the WomAn's Relief Corps oi

as notorious and widely known as thu

Took the Wrong Car.

Last evening young man from Massil.
lon by the name Of PILE, created quite a
disturbance on one of the city streets cars.
1t appears that Pile had bought ticket
from Massilion to the lake and had paid
for 1t in due form, but on his return is
where the difficulty arose. He stepped
aboard the car and requested information
as the probability of the connecting with
the Massillon line. Being informed in the
negative, he stated that he expected to
ride into to town on that car anyway.
As the city came into view, Conductor
Muckley requested his fare, which he re-
fused to pay. After considerable wrangllng
the conductor left him threatening to
swear out an affidavit against him. As yet
however nothing has been done.

How shsn the Delegates be Selected

1t is suggested by a prominent Demo-
crat, who is not candidate, and who
fayors an economical campaign, that the
present Congressialal delegates already
selected to attend the Alliance convention
also serve as delegates TO Orrville. This
woald save all the expense OF another
County Convention and much worry and
yexation Of spirit. These delegates are
all poor men and good Democrats.
Another suggestion Is that a County
Convention be called made up of dele
gates from all the wards and townships OF
the county, and whichever candidate has
a majority of the delegates, take all the
Congressional delegates, so as to secure
solid delegation from Stark county.
Another suggestion is TO let every ward
and township elect delegate in any way
agreed upon, by the Democrats OF the
locality. The NEWS DEMOCRAT has no
suggestions to make, only print the
suggestions suggested to us, as matter OF
news.

WILL SHE COME BAcK9
Is the Question Agitating the
West End Concerning Mrs.
Louis Spangler.

A rumor was circulated on the street
last night that Mrs. Louis A. Spapgler Of
No. 244 West Eighth street had skipped
from home and abandoned her husband
and family out Of love for another mar.
The story was that she had eloped with a
young fellow named Ed. Deckman.
Deckman is about twenty two years OF age
and boarded for some time last year at the
Spangler place. Mrs. Spsngler is about
thirty six years Of age and has five
children, the oldest being sixteen years
old.
A reporter called upon Mr.. Spangler at
his home this morning to see what truth
there was in the rumor of the elopement
He said his wife had gone away Monday
evening and that he knew that she was
going and had given his consent
He declared she had gone 10 St.
Louis to pay visit to fow
weeks to a cousin. As to the Deckman
part OF the story Mr.. Spangler said he
bad gone to Missouri last June. He
stated that he did not think his wife
intended joining him for she said she
would be back soon.
According to MIR. Spangler his wife has
received at least one letter from Dsckman
since he went out west and 1t is possible
that she may go to where he Is but he
doubts it, However he takes the matter
very philosophically and says that IL she
does he can get along anyhow. He says
they have occasionally had the usual
little family rackets but nothing Of
serious nature ever occurred to mar their
married life.
Mrs. Spangler took only a small satchel
full of clothing and her husband expects
her home in a couple of weeks. He says
he thinks there is nothing in the rumors
of elopement.

ED. DEMOCRAT I'm last evenings
issue of your paper l notice a very appro-
pirate endorsement of the name of Archi-
bald McGregor for the seat in Congress
made vacant by the death of the lamented
John G. Warwick.
The nomination of Mr.. McGregor would
be fitting testimonials to that gentleman's
eminent party service. No man in the
State of Ohio has rendered his party
greater service than has Mr.. McGregor,
and always with that cheerful, loyal en-
deavor born of firm belief in his party's
principles.
II the claim that political parties owe
gratitude and compensatory honors to
their eminent leaders should ever be
asserted, here is an opportunity to record
the Democratic party in favor OF honoripg
one of its most devoted and able
adherents.
What a grand example 1t would be for
every gentleman whose name has been or
may be mentioned in connection with the
vacancy, to advocate the selection OF Mr..
McGregor.
generally these of young men, men who
have years of opportunity ahead of them,
who would be doing graceful and CONS
mandatory act, and also entrench thems
selves in their party's confidence, by ads
yocatinR the nomination of Mr.. McGre gor
and rendering him, in the winter OF his
| life, the last honor perhaps the party will
be able to bestow,, or he accept.
Mr.. McGregor should be the unanimous
choice of Stark county for the vacancy
and ii is doubtful whether any othel
county in the district would have cRndi'
date. He should be nominated by accla'

For the oongressional Vacancy.

From the MasslIIonIan.
Many friends of W. X. L. Warwick in
each county of the 10th district desire to
tender to him the seat made vacant by his
fathers death. But there is no "son- Of
his father" argument involved. Some
pettifogging chumps may be unable to see
any other phase, but fair thinking men
comprehend the idea and the motive, and
there is no royal succession connected
with it. That 10 entirely centered in
Bennie and his Hat.
