vANDUsEN'S BIG RECORD
Frightens Local Pie Eaters-Salem
Takes the Cake at Ben
GriCsby's Walk.

Ben Grigsby's cake walk and concert came off
last night at Fickingtrs hall and was greatly
enjoyed by those present. Ben was resplend-
ent in white vest, white necktie and stand
ing collar and was the general overseer
Of the whole affair. The Akron quartet mar
rowed down TO a duet but aside from that and
the failure Of the pie eating contest everything
was carried out as advertised on the bills. The
cake walk was only able to bring out four cou-
Piles. There was some difficulty at first in Sc.
lecting judges for the affair. A number of
candidates for city offices were present and
were solicited TO act, but refused, as II might
hurt their campaign. Finally three prominent
young business men consented to act and the
walk started led by Charles jeremiah Craw-
ford of Cleveland. Mr.. Crawford holds
the high honor Of being the
champion cake walker of Ohio, and is an
artist in his line. The contest soon narrowed
down to two couples, Mr. Vandusen of Cleve-
land, and Miss Hall of Canton, and james
Gayson, of Salem and Miss Rogers Of Akron.
1t was only after repeated trials and much de-
liberation that the judges finally awarded the
cake TO Mr.. Grason and Miss Rogers. The pie
eating contest failed to materialize
on account of no one being willing
TO cat against Nanduscn. Nandusen claims
to have a record of eating 22 large pies in IS
minutes. No one in Canton wanted to go
against him, although it looked for time as
if the Notnac Club would furnish a champion.
After the walk the happy colored people
danced until late hour in the morning.

POPULISTIC JUBILEE.
Senator PETER. of Kansas. Speaks to a
Large Crowd at the Taber-
nnClp

When Senator PETER took the platform
Thursday ngiht in behalf of the pOpulists, he
faced an audience of nearly two thousand
people The hall was packed to the roof 1t
was the largest political meeting for a spring
campaign ever held in the city. great many
prominent populists from all over this
part Of the state were present and
a list Of vice presidents as long as the moral
law occupied seats upon the platform. Charles
Martin, Of Tihin, the last candidate for secre-
tary of state was present. Carl Browne, in an
immaculate Dsilk tile and chesterfield coat,
was olso on hand and was given an ovation
when he assembled the rostrum.
Henry Kirch was chairman of the meeting
and with a flourish of rhetoric he introduced
the speaker.
"Rickety, rickety, zip, boom, bah !
PETER, Kansas senator ~ howled crowd of
forty youngsters in the gallery as the senator
arose to speak. The entire audience was de-
monsuative and full of fun, and all seemed to
have a good time.
Mr., PETER proved to be quite fair talker,
and he kept the audience alert by liberal sup
ply of sharp thrusts and good stories. He said
the populist party did not intend to destroy
property OF any kind; they were
not bent on running the banks,
breaking up the railroads, nor anything
of that sort, The party mission was simply to
establish the common brotherhood of man and
the sisterhood of woman.
The great problem of the times was to give
every man an opportunity to work and to pro-
vide inst distribution of labor Every man
has right to live, right to a chance to work,
Vnd II IL tho bugiuagg IA thn IN.
that he gets the chance.
All distinctively public service
should be controlled by the government.
Six men practically control the transportation
facilities Of the nation today. The populists
would not destroy the railroads but would i'm
prove the service by placing it in the hands of
the government as the mail service is now.
CITY OWNERSHIP OF sTRRET CARS.
Canton should own and operate her street
car lines, light plants, telephones and other
public institutions. In Toronto the city gets
a large share of its taxes from the street car
service and rates are cheap. Eight tickets for
a quarter.
If the government were to build and man
age all public affairs of this kind men could be
set to work on improvements.
There are too many of us in the country now
10 do the work of the country under the pres
ent plan. Hours Of labor should be shortened
50 that all may have chance
The reasons for the depression were monop-
oily in land, monopoly of labor and the money
monopoly,
The populists were not opposed to banks but
were opposed to authorizing them to issue the
nations money and control the nations
finances. They were also opposed to the high
rate Of interest they charged because ii was
greater than the net savings of labor.
The speaker closed by reviewing the objec-
tons To the pOpulists in which he denied that
they were either anarchists or socialists; he
said they did not ask for a distribution of
wealth, and they were loyal to the country.

Sam Lowenstein had bad smashup ON
North Market street Wednesday evening.
He was driving north in the buggy with one
Of his spirited flyers and when he came TO
Second street he met a team that blocked up
a good portion of the street. His horse made a
dash to get through, slipped and swung the
buggy over against the curb where il fell upon
an iron post in front of Balser's brewery. The
spokes in both wheels were trimmed out as
completely as it could have been done with an
AK and the buggy came down with crash
Sam held to the ribbons and was dragged
about ten feet before the horse stopped. His
buggy had inst been overhauled ond fixed up
but II is a wreck now.

EARLY MORNING FIRE,

AT about 2:45 o'clock Wednesday morning
John Brobst closed his saloon and went to his
room. AS he was preparing to retire his wife
said she thought she heard wood cracking as
If on fire. Mr.. Brobst looked out f lthe win.
dow and saw the rear of William Stuart's
house furnishing store all in blaze.
He summoned the fire department and
reused the occupants of the block. The build
ing was already black with smoke and the
residents rushed into the street en- deshabille
and badly scared.
The fire started under the stairway leading
to the rear entrance, burned through and was
making strong headway in the hall when no
ticed. 1t had evidently been going for two or
three hours.
II took the department over one hour to put
out the blaze. The water plugs were frozen
and split so that after they were thawed thew
lost most of the water The chemical and two
streams finally brought the FIRE under subjec-
ton.
Mr.. stuart's stock was damaged quite little
by water, but the loss is fully covered by In
surauce The origin of the fire Is unknown.
There was dog sleeping in box under the
stairway where the fire started, early in the
evening, but he was gone when the fire was
out He is not blamed, however.

THINK wITzEMAN IS INNOCENT.

Things arc beginning to get quite interesting
at Leetonia, in the Conkell case, and the
probabilities are that some more arrests will be
made. The people are very much excited over
the report that human bones, partly consumed
by fire, were unearthed with the corpse of a
horse. This clue has been worked with
energy the past few days and in follow
ing up the case some things have
been discovered that ii is asserted throw a
cloud over William and John Lentz Public
sympathy is turning in Witzeman's favor and
many Leetonia people now firmly believe he
had nothing to be with Conkell's taking of.
AT the hearing Of Witzeman the Lentz brothers
testified that they had seen Cqnkell after
the evening of his disappearance.
One Of them also teslhed that he
had fed the horse that has low been exhumed,
the day before OF after Conkell was missed,
when, as a matter Of fact, the truth shows that
this horse has been dead two weeks. Other
facts that have been brought to light have
placed the Lentz brothers under suspicion and
some startling Developments many now be
looked for.

motif Of the composition the negro melodies.
His symphony" Is good work and has met
with overwhelming success and appreciation.
Tke cake walk was the funniest thing ever
saw and the whole audience was kept in pro-
longed roar of laughter and applause. Sixty
couples marched around the vast arena, not
this time naturally and simply, butit the most
outlandish manner, with all sorts Of fancy steps
and maneuvers.
Besides the cake walk there was buck
dancing competition for men, a wing dancing
competition for girls, little pickaninny
quartctte and Madam Flowers, the Southern
Nightingale gorgeous mulatto In white
satin gown. She sang the "Swaunee River"
and when she came to the part about
"When was playing with my brother"
little boy entered from the wing and knelt
by her feet This was supposed to be pathetic,
but IL was so ridiculous that the audience
burst out into volley of laughter Then
there was a boxing contest by four men in
barrels which was very funny. They simply
fell over each other and pounded each other
indiscriminatingy.
LENTEN FEATURE.
Artists teas are feature during lent. These
are not selfish affairs, like an afternoon recep-
tion in the west, when the men are left out;
because men in society are not supposed to be
employed in the afternoon, and flock from tea
TO teas. You go, shake hands with the host,
get presented to man who is generally dying
to talk to some other woman, wander from
room to room looking at the pictures and adj.
miring them with the adjectives stunning"
and lovely" listen. to some singing while
people are talking, drink cup of tea with
lemon or rum in It, watching the men swarm
ing about the punch bowl, slip away, and you
have had beautiful time"

NEED FOOD AND SEED.

Thomas Norbury, of galloway, Nebraska,
secretary of the relief committee for Custer
county, has issued circular to the people of
this county asking aid for the famishing
Nebaskans. In his plea he says: Money
we have not hitherto asked. Our primary
need is something to eat. Lastly we need
means to obtain seed" For the purpose of
buying seed cash is asked either as gift
or loan. If money will be loaned an effort will
be made to repay it when the crops are
harvested. Mr.. Norbury says the railroad rule
not to carry donations of produce free is work
ing great hardships to the sufferers.

WITH such enterprising men as Messrs.
w welty. Shertzer and McCarty at the head
of Canton's trotting association we should
have some fine races. Let every man interested
in the progress of fine horses and the develop
ment of speed show by his outstretched hands
that they intend to do all in his power for the
progress of the new trotting association which
Canton has long looked for and wanted.
1t is remarkable when You look back five
years and see the progress Canton has made in
fine driving and trotting horses. We
now compare favonbly with any city in Ohio.
why should we not have fine horses and
turnouts in Canton? Nothing impresscs a
visitor more than fine horses and beautiful
turnouts. Every man, woman and child
notices beautiful horse when seen upon the
streets and it is reasonable to say that before
the summer has passed many new and beauti-
full turnouts will be seen on the streets of Can
ton.

AFRO AMERICAN MELoDIEs.

There is something peculiarly facinating
about these quaint negro melodies. Anton
Dvorck, the great composer, claims that these
airs will eventually be the basis of our Ameri-
can music and has in his From the New
World Symphony introduced and used as the
