MAYORS MATINEE.

The city was unusually quiet Saturday night
and Sunday not an arrest being recorded on
the ticket at headquarters.
The surrounding country, however, has been
heard from and in the mayors Office this morn
ing warrants were issued for a pair Of Hartville
young men who have had considerable trouble
recently. Henry Allis, better known as
Dutch Henry" came in from Middlebnnch
and reported headcracking match that oc-
Cured Saturday night, in which John Smith,
bartender at Henry's place, had his forehead
laid open. Two sons of Geo. Axe, Clarence
and George, visited at Middlebranch Saturday;
they went into Dutch Henry's" saloon but
Henry wouldn't sell them anything as George
is under age. They protested but Henry was
firm and they left. Later at night after
Henrys place had been closed, the pair ap'
peared again and raped on the door. The
bartender, John Smith, came to the door and
opened 1t to see who was outside. As he
poked his head out of the door one of the Axe
boys struck him with club on the head
They then broke the glass in the door and left
Smiths head was badly cut and physician
was called.
Allis came to Canton this morning to ge
justice as he says that nobody in that vicinity
will proceed against the Axe boys as they hav'
the people thoroughly cowed. He signed
his name to an affidavit and Marshal Bechere
will go to Hartville after the pair.

Exchange, recently started in Canton, on West
Tuscarawas street, is growing rapidly in favor,
The baking of bread, cakes, pies etc, is done
by local ladies Of the best reputation as cooks
in special fields. Thus one worthy woman
draws seven to nine dollars "a week for her
rolls alone, securing in this way a needed in
come by the exercise of her art, heretofore un-
productive except for home use. The cakes
are also parceled out so that the best cooks are
confined to their speciality. Many families are
relying more and more ON the Exchange for a
good article of bread, rolls or cake. All the
money received, except ten per cent, goes to
the ladies who furnish the articles, this small
margin and the profit of the midday lunches
boing saved for expenses. 1t is most worthy
enterprise. We give them this notice gratui-
tously and wish them prosperous growth
that will soon require larger quarters.
The officers are Mrs. A. Braden, president;
Mrs. Phil Bernhour, vice-presdent; Mrs. l.. l..
Miller, secretary; Mrs. Anna Young, treasurer.

We feel there is room for all.
The prices are lower than at any other Elk

BICYCLE CLUBS ULTIMATUM

The Bicycle club held regular meeting
Tuesday evening in their club rooms. The
earlier part of the evening was given over to a
business meeting. Some important matters
were discussed bnt interest hinged on the ref
erence to the controversy concerning the fair
ground. The club wants 1t July 3rd and 4th
and the Knights of st. John want it on the 4th.
After some discussion definite understanding
was reached. The club instructed its commit
tee, C. l.. Oberly, chairman, to present at the
conference with the Knights Of st. John com
mittee Wednesday night, the ultimatum of the
club. The proposition will be that the bicycle
club control the grand stand and the track and
the receipts from both. The KnightsofSt. John
may prepare a place for their drill and put up
bleachers, the Knights to get the receipts from
the bleachers; the rent, privileges and gate re-
ceipts TO be divided equally and each society
to take care of its own general expenses. The
committee was instructed to settle matters
definitely at the Wednesday night meeting by
either entering into contract embodying the
foregoing conditions or declaring the deal off.
After the business meeting a social session
was held. 1t was club smoker and big
growlers of tobacco were passed around while
the punch bowl and sandwich basket came in
for their share of attention. Cards and other
amusements served to pass the evening pleas.

THE COOKING BOX.

Here is revival of an old idea that ought to
become part of the equipment of every wo-
man who is managing home of her own.
This one relates to the art of cooking, and its
value cannot be overestimated. The chief re-
quirements are feathers and n wooden box.
The purpose is the retention of heat in the
article in hand through process of cooking
that has results that are little short of de-
light,
If one has many things to cook the box
should be about three feet square, with a cover
of thick layer Of feathers placed along the
inside walls and fastened securely by ticking.
A feather cushion occupies the bottom and
another is the top of the box.
| Now for the uses of this odd device; Take
any meat or vegetable that is to be boiled, and
after keeping It on the fire until the boiling
point has been reached, place 1t quickly in the
feather.lined box and leave it for the neces
sary number of minutes or hours necessary fol
| its cooking. 1t will be found TO be done tC
the Queens taste, a saving to the housekeepel
of much expensive fuel.
The secret of this box, says the st. Louis
Republic, lies in its quality of being absolute
ly air tight, practically retaining the tempera
ture of the water at the time of its remova
from the fire.
In Norway and many of the cold countries
of the old world in which the laboring mel
go to work long before daylight, the house
wife puts the husbands breakfast in feathe
box the night before, and II is ready in tn
very early hours. For the boiling of apples
onions, or anything which is to keep shap
adds to the niceness of serving, the hot box
each piece is preserved In the perfection Q
form.

A CHURCH WAR.

The usually peaceful little village of MARI
boro is very much agitated by an internal re-
ligious war. The Methodists and the Disci-
pies have congregations there and the number
of available candidates for conversion not be-
ing very large, naturally the rivalry between
the two denominations is quite strong. This
rivalry has now developed into an open war
and the contestants OH either side have deter
mined to capture the local school board and
control the village schools. There Is consider
able bitterness displayed ON both sides and
strenuous efforts are being put forth to corral
the woman vote for the spring election. The
Disciples also are endeavoring to gain influence
and power by converting the outsiders.
There are number In the village who have
never bowed the knee at a christian shrine to
worship, and the disciples have secured an
evangelist who will begin this week and en-
deavor to bring them INTO the fold. Special
services have been prepared for unbeliever'
and circulars of invitation sent out, bearing
the inscription, "Inhdels handled with care.'
