BAD WELL WATER.
A Serious Epidemic of Typhoid Fever
Well Started in
Canton.

Unless extreme caution is manifested
upon the part of Canton people, this city
will shortly find itself in the midst of the
worst typhoid fever epidemic in its his.
tory. The weather the past year has been
just exactly right to develop the typhoid
fever germs, as they have begun to work.
Long continued dry weather, with low
water, always produces more or less of
the disease, and 1t has struck in upon
Canton in manner that is causing no
little alarm upon the part of local physic-
ians.
AS usual thing, typhoid fever does
not begin to develop seriously until the
latter part of August, and in September
and October 1t is at its height. This year
owing to the dry weather 1t got good
start in July. The past week patients
have been going into the hospital at a
rapid rate and If 1t keeps up every bed
will be filled before ten days
Speaking on the subject q prominent
physician said today" have five typhoid
fever patients. A short time ago had a
man taken down with the disease and
sent him to the hospital; yesterday his
wife was taken with it and she was taken
out.
81 am afraid that typhoid fever is GO
ing to prove serious here said another
doctor. ~ have several cases now under
treatment
In nearly all cases the source of the dis
ease is to be found in well water. Ply
sicians say that all wells In the city
should be closed up for the water is
poisoned with disease germs. Persons
who drink only the city water are not
nearly so liable to be stricken down.

FELL THIRTY FEET.
An Electric Light Lineman Makes a
Long Leap and Breakes
His Heel.

Frank Thompson, of No.a141 East Tus-
carawas street, has the distinction of be-
ing the only man in town who ever had
his heel broken. He does not enjoy 1t a
bit Friday afternoon Thompson was up
on an electric light pole on West Tusoa-
rawas street, doing some wiring for an
arc light He became over-balanced and
was about to fall. Seeing that he could
not save himself, he jumped. He was at
the top Of the pole and after making the
trip through the thirty feet of thin air, he
struck something solid in the shape of
the brick pavement. He lit on his feet
with his weight upon the left heel. Then
he fell over and bruised his hip and
hands. The force of the fall was so great
that it snapped the bone of the heel
squarely in two. DIR. Frankfelter fixed
him up and put the foot in plaster paris
This is the first case of the kind that
has ever happened in town. In fact, 1t is
so rare that few of the medical records
have any reference to fractures of the heel
bone.

A CANTON MAN.
John s. Carnes Thrust Out Of His
Mothers House at .Omaha-His
Family Destitute.

A special dispatch from Omaha relates
a story of rather rough treatment accord
ed to Cantonian who gave up his job
here and went out to stay with his
mother, taking his family along. The
dispatohlreads as follows:
John S. Carnes, of Canton, o., his
young wife and three small children, have
been elected from his own mothers house
by her orders. He called at the city jail
last night and asked for lodging. He and
the members of his family were all hun
cry, and the kind-hearted officers and the
night reporters made up purse which
provided for their immediate wants. The
mans story is pathetic and seems almost
incredible. His mother is Mrs. Dakin, a
well to do woman of fifty-one years of
aee, who keeps roomers in the third fat
at the corner of Fourteenth and jackson
streets. Carnes said he gave up a good
position to come here at the repeated
solicitation of his mother, who treated
him we'll till his money was all gone. He
has tried every day to get work. Neigh
bors gave his family shelter yesterday and
today Carnes applied to the county
board to assist him back to Canton, but
was refused. His family Is now being
cared for by Police Matron Cummings,
He has letter of recommendation from
the mayor of Canton, and says If he can
get back there he can find employment.
Mayor Rice. when asked in regard to John
s. Carnes, said he knew him well, and that he
had sent him the letter of recommendation up
on request from Carnes, who was then a
Omaha. The mayor says that Mr.. Cames is q
hardworking man, and he is very sorry tC
hear OF his bad luck.

THREATENS TO RESIGN
If Gerwig Stays-Putman Wont Help

Republican Row at the Infirmary.

Harmony among the Stark County In
firmary officials is wanting. 1t is known
that for some time, Director Bixler and
Superintendent Gerwig have not been on
friendly terms. At recent meeting of
the board of directors this unfriendliness
became hostility, and Bixler wanted
Superintendent Gerwig removed. He
threatened to resign If he was not re-
moved. Since Putnam, the other repub-
lican director, would take no part in re-
moving the superintendent, his man Fri
day, his cattle purchaser, Bixler wanted
democratic Director Shaffer to assist him
in ousting Gerwig.
Shaffer would take no part in the mat
ter. He said he had no hand in appoint
ing the man and would take no part in
removing him.
The meeting at which this took place
was at the infirmary. Superintendent
Gerwig, when Bixler began to pounce
upon him, left the office. He thought
his time had come. He telephoned to
Sparta to the man that lives on his farm,
telling him to prepare to vacate.
The trouble between Gerwig and BixleI
originated from trouble between the
