An Indiana Man Gives Some observa-
tions on Molly StarA'S Roads, Court
House and Farms.
B. +. Krider was formerly a resident
of Stark county but in 1864 he went west
and Is now in Noble county, Indiana.
Recently he paid a visit to Canton and
surrounding points in the county and
after his return home he wrote to Sheriff
Krider giving some of his impressions and
reflections and the following excerpt from
the letter will prove interesting and
profitable to Stark county readers and
should be a factor to assist in arousing the
people from their lethargy on some i'm.
portant matters of public Improvement
now demanding attention. Tho letter
reads as follows:

and am offered 50. 30 bushel, l think
the Stark county farmers would do better
il they would quit raising so much timothy
and raise more clover seed.

A MISSING MINER.
THOMAS SHANNON OF HoWsNsTEIN
FOUND IN THE NlMlSHlLLEN CREEK,

Below North Industry, by o Searching
Party, After He Had Lain in the Water
Forty-eight Hours-He Started to- Go
Home and Fell Through tho Bridge
and Drowned.
On Monday afternoon Alec Gauzs and
Joe Stokes of Howenstein appeared in
North Industry locking for Thomas Shan
non, q well known character OF the former
village, who was missing from his usual
haunts. Tommy, as he was familinrly
called, had left Howenstetn Saturday,
evening and gone to North Industry and
that was the last seen of him by his
neighbors.
He was a coal minor fifty six years Of
age, a good natured fellow who attended
to his work and kept out OF trouble, and q
very fair citizen witbal. He was married
and had family but they did not live
with him in Howenstein, he being by hims
self keeping bachelors hall.
Saturday afternoon the miners received
their pay and Shannon concluded to go
up to North Industry to see the sights.
He was generally very temperate In his
habits but he drank some upon this occa-
sion until he was just a little bit bewild-
cred.
Upon starting home about dark his
companions told him to take the main
road and not 90 over the railroad. He
said he would and started off. This was
the last ever seen OF him alive.
The residents of Howenstein failed to
see him Sunday and when Monday morn.
ing came around he was still absent. An
investigation showed that he was not at
homo and Gauzs and Stokes then started
for North Industry to see what had beS
come OF him. Recruits to the searching
party were secured here and the investi-
cation continued, IL was Thought that
p rhaps he had not stuck to the road bu,
nAd gone up on the Valley railway track
and might have fallen through the new
1 bridge now being constructed over the
| creek about mile south of North Indus
try. In looking about this bridge bis
basket was found and about o'clock last
night the body was discovered several
! rods bellows the bridge in the water. The
ties on the bridge are in come places wide
apart and no evidently dropped through
aud was drowned.
The body was taken to North Industry
and Coroner Conklin notified. His family
was also informed of his fate by telegraph
| and asked concerning their wisees as "a
| the disposition OF the body. The deceased
| was employed in the mines Of the Ridge
wayNBurton Co. He had SlS3 in money il
| his pockets when found.
Coroner Conklin went down to NORTH
| Industry this morning and examined tho
| corpse. He found that besides being
| drowned, death had been made doublS
sure by the neck being broken in the fal
| from the bridge. Word was received thii
morning from the family Of the deceased
who live in Pennsylvania that they woult
| come on at once to take charge of the re-
mains and they will be here today. The
funeral will be held Wednesday and th'
body will be brought to this city and burieC
/ in the English Catholic cemetery.

NIMISILLA LODGE
Decides that a New Odd Fellows
Temple Should be Built.

pC ulIts
The Nimisilla lodge 1. o. o. E. held o
meeting Tuesday evening and good
portion of the time was taken up in dis>
cussion of plans for the raising of neces.
sAry revenue for the erection OF q new
temple on the site which now holds the
ruins of the old one. There was a good
attendance present and the members
manifested much interest. All were
heartily in favor of the erection
of pew building that should
be credit alike to tho
city and the lodge and it seemed to be the
desire Of all present that sufficient money
be secured to make the new ediflce one OF
the finest in the city. 1t was decided to
canvass among the members of the lodge
for subscriptions to the building fund and
it is hoped to secure very neat sum in
this manner.
The other Odd Fellow lodges will hold
meetings this week and decide upon plans
for raising their portion of the necessary
cash and with what outside assistance can
be secured fine building will undoubted-
ly be erected.
1t has been suggested that Hosea II
Jones unite with the Odd Fellows and thai
| they throw their lots together and erect G
building together. This would be an ex'
| cellent plan aud it is to be hoped that
such combination will be effected.
