THE IMPORTANT WITNESS WHO CAUSED
APosTPoNeNENT

Still Among the Missing.

Still Among the Missing.
The News DEMOCRAT last night con-
tanned the news of the famous Snyder
Albright trial and the announcement that
1t had been postponed until Monday after.
noon at l o'clock on account of the dis
appearance of witness Perry Merrill of
Massillon.
Ihe case is attracting a great deal of
attention and all are anxious TO see it
tried next week. The testimony of Mer.
rill, IL admitted will of course cause a
decided sensation.
The Massillon independent has the
following: "A reporter rang up the Gem
etery lodge by telephone this afternoon,
and inquiring of Mrs. Merrill as to the
whereabouts of Mr.. Merrill, was told at
fret that he was out of town, but that she
did not know where. On further uues-
tioning Mrs. Merrill finally said that she
could not tell today, and did not know
whether she could tomorrow. The replies
we're given in very grudging and guarded
manner.
"Sheriif Krider made a flying trip
through town this morning, summoninR
ing more witnesses to the Snyder. Albright
trial. There is extreme reticence on the
part OF all interested, in suppressing
knowledge OF the most trivial details con-
cerniug the case, and public curiosity is
OF course, whetted by the circumstances.'
SEEN IN MAssILLoN.
Attorney Garret Of Massllon, was here
this morning and said to Mr.. Mutt the law
librarian, that he had seen E. NJ. Merrill
the prime witness for the plaintiff in the

SECRET

I hold it true that thoughts are things
Endowed with bodies, breath and wings
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results-or ill.
That which we call oursecret thought,
Speeds to the carth's remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
1t is Gods law, Remember it
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have
known,
And yet make comrades when alone.
These thoughts have life. and they will fly
And leave their impress by and by,
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned
breath
Breathes into homes its fevered breath.
And after you have quite forgot
Or all out grown SONS vanished thought,
Back to your mind to makeits home,
A dove or raven, it will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair;
They have a vital part aud share
In shaping worlds and motaing fate
Gods system is so intricate.
