The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1895-08-01

There's mourning lOuu III O"'
Sweet village out In o,
The populist convention met
To hold its little show,
And left its mark on County stark,
In carnage and In woe.
And when the raging conflict
Had settled in for fair,
Great Coxey, late of Washington,
Climbed high upon chair,
And chuckled gleefully to see
The whiskers in the air.
He watched them from distance,
Like general of yoIe,
AS with each others fleshly frames
The leaders mopped the floor,
And no one heard him say word
To check the tide of gore.
So now, in placid Canton.
Where this has come to pass,
ITnhurt. our Coxey views the wreck
OF populistic sass,
He's learned his little lesson, and
He now keeps off'the grass

The express wagons have moved back
upon the square directly in front OF the
court house. AS result great many
citizens have begun to complain. When
the new court house was undertaken, and
the expressmen removed from the square,
H. was Thought that they would be Kept
off but the first day the space was cleared,
the expressrnen flocked In again. A
prominent and level-headed citizen who
paws considerable tax, in speaking on the
matter this morning, said: The city
council should pass q new ordinance and
locate the expressmen somewhere else. A
lot Of bony old plugs hitched to SO many
ramshackling old wagons doesn't lend
lust exactly the most artistic effect possi-
BILE to the public square"
The Alliance women have started TO
raise money for the new church. Their
first attempt is to be baby show About
fifty Youngsters have been entered. The
babies will all be dressed in white and the
visitors are expected to cast a ballot for
the little mite of humanity which pleases
the best, whether it be the prettiest the
! sweetest, the homliest or the most fret
ful The baby receiving the highest
number of votes will be given ahandsome
, set of baby pins.

Ed A. Wikidal, the well known real
estate man, has novel scheme in view.
At the last session of the city council, he
asked to lease the market house site. His
purpose is to erect large shed, which
will cost in the neighborhood of 81, 200
Farmers will be allowed to feed in the
shed, and leave their teams there during
the entire day, by paying 10 or 10 cents
1t is thought many farmers would tak'
advantage of the chance to get thell
teams under shelter, instead of hitchine
on the square. The plan has been triec
in other cities, and found to be very sue

reasonable figure, Mr.. Wikidal will com
mence the building at once
SO
The deputy sheriffs who were sworn II
by Sheriff Doll to serve at the railway col
lision fake are still wondering who vii
pay them 1t was private enterprise
and while the men are entitled to com
pensation, 1t does not seem as II the coun
lIty should be liable. If the sheriff take
it upon himself to assist ventures of thi
kind, he should be certain the backers o
the scheme will settle with the men.

1t Is said that Inspector Heestand, o
Mansfield, in a report to the Secretary 0
War. scores the faculty of Mt. Union col
lege for lack of support to the militar.
department and recomends the with
which would of course, remove Captain
Day. The faculty and cadet officers will
send reply to the war department., so
is reported.
There is considerable talk In Canton O
taking steps to secure place that can b
used as an emergency hospital. 1t
claimed there is too much red tape abou
getting person who is injured into Ault
man hospital, as 1t Is first necessary t
secure some ones permission to allow tn
patient to enter. In the interest of hu
manity it would seem as II Canto
should have place where person VIII
was seriously injured, could be take
without delay Most cities have arrange
ments whereby such eases are taken a
once to the hospital The injured part
Is simply loaded In an ambulance, and II
moved to the nearest hospital, where b
receives proper medical attention. This
as IL should be, as delays are often fatal.
