Trick Failed.

Benjamin Doll, well -to.do farmer, residing
about one mile south of Massillon, in Bethle-
hem township, had an experience with conf

strangers called at the Doll homestead, and
after chatting for a time, asked Mr.. Doll to
walk about the farm. Mr. Doll consented to
accompany the men. but first left his pocket
book, containing several hundred dollars, with
his wife.
Upon reaching a belt Of timber the strangers
proposed the old three.card monte game. Mr.
Doll listened atteutively to their explanations
Of the game and the ease with which he could
win, and after they had finished he calmly in
formed them that he himself had learned how

Talks a Little Politics and Also a
Little on the Financial Question.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
Washington, May 13.-Hon. John l..
Vance, of Gallipolis, who had demo-
cratic seat in Congress back in the 70's,
is spending few days in this city. He
is a close observer Of political events in
Ohio and gives his opinion that the con
test for the gubernatorial nomination on
the republican side has narrowed down to
Hoyt and Nash.
A the same time he puts in good
word for Governor Campbell. He said:
democratic sentiment is prominently in
favor Of the nomination of ex Governor
Campbell He Is for sound money and
would make the best race on account Of
his personal popularity and good cam
paigning ability, and he would draw both
elements of the party around him, the
silver as well as the sound money men.
OF course the party is divided on the silver
question, but the leaders are almost all
for sound money, among the exceptions
being Allen Thurman, Jr., Chairman Of
the democratic executive committee, and
Secretary Taylor; but looking the state
over / find that the big men of the party
are for sound money, and believe that the
democratic state convention will, on sober
second thought so declare itself. "

FREE LUNCH WITH SODA.
Canton Women Want Lnnch Set

Man

1t may not be generally known but
there Is movement on foot among the
women Of Canton to try to induce the
proprietors of soda water fountains TO
put free lnuch attachment to their soda
fountain and serve olives, pickles, salads
and bon. bons to the female drinkers just
the same as the saloon keeper gives sand
witches, roast beef, Swiss cheese, baked
beans, etc, to the male imbibers. The
ladies claim that the soda water fountain
men can just as well afford to furnish %
free lunch for n five cent glass of soda
water (and often ten cent glass) as the
saloon keeper can to give a square meal
with five cent glass of beer. In some
of the larger cities the soda fountain men
have lady fingers or macaroons ON the
counter for free use with soda, but Can
tons girls want more, and If reports are
true one enterprising gentleman is already
getting ready to set out good lunch.
