THE Cadiz Flambeau,th Prohibition
organ of Harrison county, and, by the
way, one of the spiciest papers on our
exchange list, has this hard hit on the
Mckinley wool tariff:
Because wool is lower this season, than
IL has been for years, IL is not our fault,
we only asked for the reason. 1t has not
been within my recollection that we have
had as much protection as we have al
present, nor has II been within the same
time, that we have had as low price
offered for wool. Now these are facts,
and every day facts, and we want to know
why II is so. There 10 not a wool grower
in Harrison county today that has the
least spark OF Intelligence, but what knows
that before the extra cent, "tariff," went
on they got more for their wool than they
do noW,D

The Police Very Anxious to Asoslt tain
the Present Address of John Bettaker.
John Bettaker, whose strange method
OF paying off hts laborers was mentioned
exclusively IN Saturdays NEWS DEMO
oRAT, SET ms to have gotten into trouble
at Massillon Friday afternoon by an al.
legged forgery OF n note.
Marshal Hagan and officer Ertle were
In this city Saturday evening hunting for
the man, but his whereabouts seemed q
mystery. Bettaker resides on East Tus-
carawas street. Friday afternoon, 1t 10
alleged, he went into the First National
bank at Massillon aud borrowed about
800, giving bis own note and that OF
man named George Wilhelm as collateral
security. The notes produced seem
sufficient evidence OF his financial ability
to pay of the amount shortly. The face
value of the Wilhelm note was $3.50. The
paper was accepted as genuine by the
bank. Saturday Bettaker, IL is stated,
again made his appearance In Massillon
and hied himself TO the Germania Deposit
bank, and desired to borrow some money
on a note which he alleged was legally
signed by a man named Hoffman. Banker
Albright did not suspect everything as all
right, and he proceeded to the First
National bank, and there discovered the
Wilhelm note a facsimile of the
note which he held for $3.50. Then IL was
first discovered that the notes were
forgeries and the S400 loaned to the man
by the First National bank was illegally
received by him. Officers were immed-
lately dispatched In search OF him but he
left neither track nor shadow. The
authorities visited this city and In
company with the Canton officers made a
thorough search for the man, but it was
learned that lie had not been at home
since noon Saturday and his friends
could not enlighten the police as TO his
whereabouts.
1t has since been found out that Bettaker
deposited some money In the Farmers
Bank here last Friday, and attachments
we're issued by the Massillon bank to
recover part of their loan which II IL
thought composed the money In bank
here. Officer McCort served the papers
on Cashier Fast and Mr.. Henry Wise of
the bank. II 10 thought Bettaker has left
for some western city Ia this State.
This Is not the first time the man has
forged notes, but two notes are now
In possession OF the Marshal which had
heen so ushered into existence by Beta
ker, but which were settled for by him
before his arrest was caused.

CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST A VAL

He Is Charged With the Ruin of His
wife's sister-The Particulars.
A highly sensational and unsayory case
OF mans infideli,y has come to light in
this city by the arrest OF a man named A,
5. Graham living on Union street. Gra-
ham is married man and freight con-
ductor on the Valley railway. Some
years ago he was married to a Miss Sluiz
Of Mineral Point. Many months ago Mrs.
Graham grew Ill and requested that her
younger sister Laura be aent to attend
TO her wants at her sick bed. The young
lady consented, and then follows terri
BILE story. The wife lay bed-fast o long
time and her sister faithfully catered to
her wants. An intimacy grew up between
Graham and the young girl which after.
ward ripened into unwise love, and then
and there he accomplished her ruin.
Saturday night brother OF Miss
Sluiz appeared before Justice
ReiRner and filed an affidavit
against Graham for incest. Officer Nc
Cort arrested the man. The wife shed
tears when the blue coated guardian of
the law departed from the family domi.
cile with the unfaithful husband. He
pleaded not guilty to the charge and Was
bound over in the sum of $500 for his
appearance Friday evening.
Yesterday the young lady herself
appeared before the justice and swore out
q warrant Tor the arrest OF the man on
the charge OF bastardy. The writ was
served, but the first charge will have to
be disposed OF before the second one can
be maintained.
Graham is we'll known railroad man
and was always deemed a good employe
He has many friends Ia this city.

THE iron aud steel industries of the
whole American nation are practically
suspended today. Forty thousand
workingmen have laid down their in
struments of toll and the fires of 62C
mills have gone out. The women and
children dependent upon this army OF
workingmen swell the whole number to
aquarter of million souls, who have
relinquished even the prospects of gain
ing the food they will need for their
bodies tomorrow. And this is after the
first full year of the Mckinley bill, in a
land blessed by a grateful Providence
with the greatest crops ever grown,
Vote for Grover Cleveland, and fair
days wages for fair days work.

ONE year under the Mckinley tariff
has bankrupted the National treasury
stunned business everywhere; practi.
cally destroyed what little ocean trade
we had. and caused more labor strikes,
lockouts and wage reductions ever
before known In the same length of
time. All these things have happened
in land where good Providence has
blessed us with bounteous crops, and
under conditions favorable for success
ful business enterprise. 1t is no wonder
that organized labor is everywhere
calling upon its sons of Drawn to shoot
the robber tariff and vote for Grover
Cleveland. When 300 Republican
laboring men in one mill join a Denso-
cratic club in one day the patrons of
Democracy and true friends of human
lty have cause for rejoicing.

Some stranss and Some Gigantic, AMI
mails.

Among tho very curious living wonders
to be seen In the two manageries OF Bar
mum and Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth,
which is to exhibit here on Saturday, July
16, 10 groap of natures most gigantic,
curious and diminutive specimens OF
animals. There is full sized aud per-
fectly Termed horse called a hairless
horse, because its glossy body is devoid of
even a single hair and which bat for the
fact OF its being alive would seem to have
been carved out of stone. Another queer
looking animal is q steer with three per-
fectly formed horns, three perfect eyes,
and three regular nostrils, but which In
all other respects corresponds to the
average animal. Still another rare sight
is the giant OK, almost as big as some of
the elephanto, which stands six feet oue
inch, or eighteen and one quarter hands
high. q truly monster specimen; and
beside this again colossal horse seven
feet six inches, or twenty-five and one
half hands tall. BY way of contrast to
these latter, nre several diminuuye cattle.
vertiabie dwaifs, thiriytwo inches, or
only eight hands high, the entire forming
probably one OF the most interesting and
wonderful collections OF odd, gigantlc and
strange LIVING beasts ever seen.

THE Frances Cleveland Influence
Club, organized in New York by Mary
Frost Ormsby, ought to ;be power in
itself, and 1t should be the forerunner
of similar organizations all over the
country. Women realize better than
men the iniquities of the Mckinley
tariff. They are closerbuyers and bet
ter Judges OF goods. When a woman
gets shoddy article at high price she
knows it, and she realizes that If it were
not for the tariff she could get the gem
uine goods cheaper.Cl And there are
many ways that women. cam influence
votes. The girls can set the wedding

can let her husband in after he has
promised to vote theDemocratic ticket.

John S. Mitchell, painter from ALI

brate the "Glorious FOURTH" and natur-

the celebration would be incomplete un-
less he took a ride over the new Canton
Massillon railroad. He made the trip
over all right and enjoyed the ride hugely,
as everybody did who went, and then
started home again. John wanted to see
all there was going so he got out onto the
step OF the car and, holding on to the
hand rail, leaned out SO as to see ahead
be became SO enraptured by the scene
that he failed TO see telephone post at
the side of the road and the fret intima-
tion OF its presence was given him when
1t took him on the side of the head and
knocked him off the car. He was picked
up and brought to this city where DIR,
House attended him. His left leg was
broken Mt the ankle and the side Of his
lace scraped considerably. His injuries
were not dangerous however, and he went
home on the evening train. The railroad
company were In no way to blame for the
accident, but they have taken the post
away so that similar carelessuess on the
part OF other passengers will not subj ct
Them to injury.

TIE Leader is19ery much dispIease

The Leader is7Very much displeased
with the 4Lh of July Grafton of Geu
Stevenson, delivered at Peoria, Ill, on
July 4th, 1892. The Leader is dis
pleased because Gen. Stevenson had so
much to say about the War of the Rev.
olution and 50 little about the War of
the Rebellion. This is about what
might be expected from the Leader.
1t might as well have criticized Gen.
Stevenson because he did not discuss
the battle of Waterloo, or the battle of
Gravelotte, or the Fenian war. The
Declaration of Independence, with the
ten years agitation in the American
Colonies, which prepared the public
mind for its elimination, is topic of
itself, to say nothing of the Z years war,
which followed.

investigation OF Pension Office is very
thorough and dcomprehensive. It finds the
Pension Department a hot bed of ofacial
dishonesty. The report recommends the
dismissal of Raum, who is charged with
using his Office to further hisow Interests
politically and financially. When pub
iished in full the report will create big
sensation, as II is backed up In every
charge with the evidence. That part OF
the evidence, which proves that the
widows of dead Union soldiers were
discharged as clerks to give places to
fiirty women of ques stionable morals, who
are the mistresses of head OF bureaus, is
very sensational.
