THE DOW TAX.
How John Zimmerman, the
SalOOniSt, Evaded 1t.
HE SKIPPED OUT

Because He Was Discovered, But the
Owner of the Building will be Held
for It-RushinE Business During
Fair Week.
John W. Zimmerman, who has shaken
the Canton dust from his feet and fled to
unknown lands, is indebted 20 the county
for the amount of his Dow tax since last
August.
When he sold out his Sixth avenue
saloon he surrendered his license and got
the "unearned increment. Soon after
this he opened out at the corner of Tenth
and Saxton, but never whimpered word
about the Dow tax. Deputy Internal Rev
0nue Colo tor Ferd Weber succeeded in
getting that part of the tax from him
which belonged to "Uncle SAM"
Charles Slagle was the first man to dis
cover that Zimmerman was running a
saloon without paying anything for the
privilege and he reported the case to the
proper authorities.
Zimmerman no doubt got wind Of 1t.
During the week that the Stark County
Agric ultural Society held their fair, when
all the saloons within the two-mile limit
were closed, Zimmerman in his Saxton
street joint happened to be outside Cf the
limit.
He put out a sign something like this
This Is your only chance for this week
come in" 1t is said that Zimm ermaI
did rushing business. OF course the
county will not lose the tax, for Mrs
Studer will be held responsible for 1t
Zimmerman is said to have left behind
him n lot Of creditors.

LAW VERY PLAIN.
Old Man Callahan Should be at
the Infirmary.
SO SAYS THE OHIO LAW.

Supt. Gerwig Imagined the Man Was
Tramp, So He Concluded to Violate
the Law of His State-who will Win,
the Law, or GerwigT
!. After a delay of several days, Surerin-
tendent Gerwig, of the county infirmary,
has attempted to defend his position In
refusing an old man, 81 years of age, adj
mission to the inflrmary. The superin-
tendent says the man was q tramp and
q professional at that, and on account of
this fact he would not admit him. Mr..
Gerwig further says the old man roams
around the county In the summer, when
he could be of use in raising crops, steal
ing and begging. The superintendent
also says he Is doing what any other man
would do under the circumstances.
The old man in question is one Gala
han, and he is 81 years of age. In addi-
tion to this, he is a cripple When Mr..
Gerwig says any other man would turn a
cripple 81 years of age out to suffer the
wintry blasts, he must have very poor
opinion of the other men of Canton. The
superintendent does not explain how
many crops an S1-year-old cripple can
raise In a season.
Turnkey Hicks, of police headq uarters
where the old man remained for several
nights, says he is a nice old fellow, very
gentlemanly in appearance, and does not
look like = tramp. Township Trustee
Thomas Miller says he investigated the
case, found the man worthy, and then
gave HIM an order to enter the inflrmary.
Superintendent Gerwig simply says
the man is a tramp, and he would not
admit him. In doing this the superin-
tendent says he is a bigger man than the
whole state Of Ohio, and can do as he
! pleases. Section 62 Of the revised statutes
among other things, says; The superin-
tendent shall receive into the in6rmary
any person who produces to him such an
order or voucher as Is required by law"
The law says the old man shall be ad-
mitted., and Superintendent Gerwig says
he shall not be- and it remains to be seen
which side will win a victory. Judging
by past events, the law cuts very little
| figure at the inflrmary under the present
administration. 1t Is not denied that the
old man had a proper order, and 1t now
remains for Mr.. Gerwig to explain why
he violated section of the statutes of
Ohio.

>EGLECTING APPLES.
What an Eminent HOrticultnr
alist Has to Say
AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

To the Sod Orchard Does Professor
BaiIy Attribute Poor Results-No
Branch of Farming So Neglected as
Orchards.
The Ohio State Agricultural Society Is
still in session and Is holding an interest
ing meeting. Prof l.. II. Bailey, of
Ithaca, n. y, gave very interesting
talk late yesterday afternoon on orchard
management, Prof. Bailey is q striking
figure, and in his appearance and manner
of addressing an audience, he very much
resembles John II. Clark, of Youngs-
town. He is practical farmer and makes
speciality of orchards. He said that the
reason why apple orchards are not yield
ing fruit like they did years ago Is due
principally to neglect. "Of all the land
about farm" he said, "the apple orch
ard is the least taken care of This is due
to the fact that nineteen twenti this of all
the orchards are sod" He thinks 1t
would be far better to cultivate the n and
SOW some kind of plants between the
trees. Prof Bailey's lecture was intensely
interesting and indicated that he had
made wonderful research through all
the ancient agricultural literature that
could be found.
The session last evening was COM
menced by President Cushman reading
his address. Prof Bailey then enter
tained the audience for an hour, by an
illustrated lecture on Landscape Gar
dening," with magic lantern. Prof.
Aug ID. Selby, of Wooster, closed the ex-
ercises of the evening by an address, the
subject being "The Calls of Raspberry,
Peach and Pear.
The exercises opened Thursday morn
ing by submitting questions for answers,
Prof, Selby Of Wooster read dissertation
The Brown or Pustuar Spot on
Peaches" " This invoked considerable dis.
cussion. Mr.. l.. b. Pierce then read q
paper on "The Fertilizing Value of Ma.
tive Weeds and Plants" An extensive
history Of "The Fruit Notes Of the Year
WAS then read by Prof. Green of Wooster.
Prof, Webster who failed to respond yes
terday appeared this morning with his
well prepared paper on "the fruit bark
beetle" The meeting then decided tC
divide the state into ten districts and ap
point one men for each district to prepare
an ad interim report for the next meet
ing. This concluded the exercises fol
the forenoon.

comes from q great peach district read q
lengthy report on the fruit crop In that
section of the state. He was followed by
S. X. Moore, of GAINESVILLE. Mr.. Moore
did not have much of fruit report to
make for the frosts in his section had
killed everything. l. b. Pierce, Of Tai
madge, Summit county read report on
the new Calf raspberry. This invoked
considerable discussion, but the weight
of opinion from the members present was
that the raspberry was an Improbable
berry to cultivate. f. G. Withoff, of Day
ton, read his report and the condition Of
the fruit in his section was much the
same as 1t was at GAINESVILLE. The meet
ing then adjourned till 80 p. m.

BOVinine

DIR. w. E. S. Preston, House
Physician of the "House of Rest
for Consumptives," of fremont,
N. Y, says, 81 have never known
a case where the stomach has
rejected Bovinine. In cases of
collapse, so common among con-
sumptives, we always use it."
Bovinine being easy to take, and
quick of assimilation and a won
derful food product, at once
starts on its mission of creating
strength, flesh and blood. 1t
tones up the vital organs and by
thus invigorating them, enables
them to throw off disease and
gives to the sufferer new lease
of life where such a thing is
possible.

TALK about sound money based
exclusively upon gold! America hasn't
got an ounce Of gold that she can
call her own-not an ounce that is not
mortgaged to foreign creditors. Credit
money for the American people based
upon gold mortgaged to foreigners
would be sound money with VEN
geance. 1t doesn't follow because this
Government can bank with certain
measure of success, upon a basis OF
debt due to American bondholders,
Though it involve injustices to the
people, that it can do the same with
the bonds of foreigners. Or is it pro-
posed, in connection with this sound
money scheme, to take our foreign
bondholders into partnership? II

SHORT THLKS ON ADVERTISING.

copyrighted by Charles Austin Bates.J
No man has reached the acme of
business success. Heights that We do
not dream of will be attained by
twentieth century merchants. l am
one Of those who believe that there is
no limit to the possibilities Of human
achievement.
This is the frame of mind one gets
into after looking at such stores as
Wanamaker's, Siegel, Cooper & Co. s.,
and 1.-The Fair" in Chicago; Blooming
dale's and Macy's, in New York.
The vast scope of such enterprises,
the magnificent system, the quick alert,
business wit that it takes to direct
them-those give one confidence in
future successes. Fifty years ago such
Adjustments were not dreamed OF.
What will the next fifty years bring
forth?
These great stores owe their growth
to advertising-to the diffusion ofstore
news, for of what use were the finest
store and the biggest bargains if people
knew nothingo of it?
The science ofadvertsingis in its in
fancy. 1t is growing in Importance
and efficiency every day. 1t used to be
a speculative venture-nOw it is a
scientific certainty.
Speaking of Bloomingdale Bros, l
understand that during the first week
of certain "sale" they had recently,
they spent $15, 900 for advertising and
that the estimated profits on the weeks
business were s25, 900.
Bloomingdale's wasn't always a big
store. The brothers are both young
men. The business has been built
within twenty years. Built by judi
cious, persistent, truthful advertising,
just as any other business may be
built.
Advertising is merely telling people
in telling way what you can do for
them.

the right way, there is no possibility OF

There appears to be no doubt about

Indeed 1t is the growing opinion that
it will rival the Philadelphia Exposition
and be second only to the World S

from all parts of the world with view
of studying the advantages of the
Southern States for home seekers.
Those States whose advantages are
well displayed will be greatly benefit

or poor one, will be injured. We
are very solicitous about North Car
