Report of w. c. T. u. Work at Stark
County worknouse.

We began our meetings June 1st, 1894, and
have conducted twenty.seven services. The
Bible readings, sermons and exortations have
have been given by ministers or our churches
and evangelists. The attendance has been
very good. The boys conducted themselves in
a respectful manner and gave attention to the
instruction. i believe the services are bene-
fit to the inmates. | asked one of the over
seers what the boys thought of having serv-
ices held for them, and was told that they liked
the meetings. 1t gave them thoughts for the
week to talk over and they enjoy the
singing We often see strong men shed tears
during the services and we take heart to SOW
the gospel seed, hoping some may fall upon
good ground when God will care for its growth
and give heincrease according to his faithful
ness. This is all that can be done in the
church or out of it. We provide good reading
EATER weekly and each inmate receives some
paper. The Yodth's Componion, Union Sig
nal are favorites; no daily papers are given.
On Christmas we treated the inmates to hun
dred magazines; mostly Harper and Scribner's
and eighty-One books to START library;
this is necessity to educate them
while under the influence of re-
formatory measures. A book case is needed
and we invite any reader who will help us by
giving us book case and donations of good
books, papers and magazines they no longer
desire to keep, send them to the w. c. r. U.
rooms, No. % East Eighth street, upstairs,
where they will be marked and distributed.
Number of Bibles distributed, 30 Gospel
hymns, 80; papers, 1862. Mr.. Pontius
reported the average attendance OF
inmates of forty. The collections taken in the
congregations amount to S1650. Expenses
met: Repairs on organ 81 so; paid for Gospel
hymns Sli.50; amount due on hymn. books,

WOULDN'T TELL.
LAWYER SHUPE SAYS HE
KNOWS A GREAT DEAL

About the Caveu Murder, But Declin-
ed 90 Give Evidence to the Coroner
He Thinks the Coroner Has Not Done
His Duty-Shupe will be Forced to
Testify Before the CuyahoRa County
Grand Jury, Now in Session.
Walter A. shupe, the Cleveland lawyer who
claims to know. so much about the murder Of
James B. Caven, was before the coroner of
Cuyahoga county at Cleveland Monday. In
answer to question as to how he came into
possession Of the alleged facts in the case he
said: II have a number of friends, railroad
officials, who were interested in the case, and
who have told me their theories"
Shupe said that he knew the man and woman
who were with Caven, but declined to tell as
he said the man was his client and he was
bound to protect him. The theory advanced
by shupe before the coroner is as follows;
"That the man who shot Caven and the
woman who was with Caven on the night of
the murder were husband and wife, and that
they had had such trouble as to lead to wish
to have divorce never
saw Caven, the murderer, the
woman nor the coroner or iany Of your
detectives" continued Mr.. Shupe. 81 have
therefore no personal knowledge. All know
is what those railroad people have said to me.
This is their theory: The man who afterwards
became murderer wanted divorce from his
wife. His attorney advised him to catch his
wife in a compromising situation, to injure
the man with her to such degree that his in
iuries, and thereby the facts of the meeting
with the woman, might become public. The
man placed himself in hiding, and when
Caven and the woman came out into the area
way and assembled the stairs of the Clement
block, the husband shot Caven in the back.
A struggle ensued in which Caven was shot
and killed"
Shupe believes that the coroner has the facts
but is not acting on the clues in his possession.
He believes this from newspaper accounts.
~ believe what q reporter says" said Mr..
Shupe, because he has no motive for lying.
And I'll tell you, Mr.. Coroner, your
officials make great mistake in
refusing to take the public press into your con-
idence Reporters are excellent detectives, as
you shall see when certain developments come
in other cases in this city. If you will open
up the DR.. Springer case you will find that
newspaper men have done some good work on
that, and that some people have not"
Just after Lawyer Shupe stepped from the
witness chair he was met by a deputy sheriff
who presented him with subpoena to appear
before the grand jury Tuesday morning at 9
o'clock. 1t was limited in the office that
twenty-four hours might bring change in
Mr.. Shupe regarding his position toward his
client 1t was even said that he would tell OF
be sentenced for contempt of court.

Golden Wedding,

The friends of Joel Treesh and wife, Of jack
son township, instituted royal golden we'd
ding surprise Jan. end. Nearly 100 friends
came tumbling in on them about thetenth hour
of the day. begging the privilege of celebrating
their semi-centennial anniversary of welded
life. bounteous table was set for the guests.
First groaned the table meath the load II bear,
OF choicest viands, and of dainties rare;
Then groaned the guests, as from their chairs they
rose,
Perplexed to know how to, of what was left, dis
pose.
" The manner of the whole festal arrange
ment betokened taste and spoke praises tor the
skillful hands. After the sumptuous repast
was over Rev. J. p. Stahl, pastor of the Re-
formed church, New Berlin, extended congrat-
ulations fitting the occasion, concluding with
the reading of the 103rd Psalm and prayer.
Numerous valuable gold presents We're given to
the aged father and mother, for which they
were scarcely able, under the circumstances, to
collect words of gratitude. The whole day was
devoted in manner calculated to rejoice the
hearts of those for whose honor the guests had
met. Altogether II was an enjoyable affair.
Trusting that many more happy days may yet
be added TO the years already passed, the
friends departed, leaving the happy couple to
meditation sweet.

How Can II be Done?

The question often arises. how this young
man; or that other fellow can afford to come
home from town wearing new tailor made
suit of clothes, nobby overcoat, standing
collar with new late style necktie, a fine stiff
hat and, in fact, an entire new outftP Now,
you will look at him with an eager, envious
look and say to yourself: "Wherc did he. get
that costly new overcoat, etc2 Judging from
appearance, 1t must have cost him large
sum of money" Well, it didn't If
he knew where to buy it, For instance,
Hirschheimer Bros. the reliable clothers and
mems furnishers at o and North Market
street, Canton, Ohio, have slaughtered prices
ON that class of goods in erder to make room
for their large spring orders and at this great
closing out sale that Is going on at present Q
person can supply himself with new overcoat
and suit of clothes for about half the usua
prices. Any one in need of any thing in thai
line can not make money easier than by TAX
ing advantage of this great sale. Remember

per and social at the home of Harry and John
Altman, two miles east of town. large party
of our young people arranged to go in sled,
but as the snow disappeared they decided to
have straw ride. They were merry crowd
going, but the return trip was not enjoyed by
the young men who "tramped it, back to
town, on account of the torrent of rain which
froze in sheets Of ice as it fell. A certain young
man who came from Canton to see his best
grip anticipated a grand time, and he declar-
ed he did have a grand time searching for his
overshoes in the slush, and assisting his room

DAWSON'S DILEMMA.
He Wants to Devote Himself to Aman.
da. But Has Wife Living.

The NEws.DEMocRAT recently printed the
story Of the trials and tribulations of Miss
Amanda Young, and her lover, Eugene Daw-
son. Amanda was waitress at the Hotel Con-
rad, in Massillon, and claimed that she was
being bothered by Dawson's attentions.
Mayor SchOtt took hand and restored peace.
Dawson admitted that he was a married man
and wanted to meet Amanda just once more
He met her and abducted her, though recent
developments tend to show that not much
force was required. Amanda left for St.
Mary's, her former home, and Dawson went in
another direction. Monday night Amanda
again appeared in Massllon and was accompa-
MED by Dawson. Tuesday morning both left
for Akron, where Amanda will make her
home with Dawson's sister. Miss Young
stated to several friends at Massillon that at
home she did not find the warm welcome she
desired and at once resolved to return to her
lover. Dswson seemed very happy at times
with the turn affairs had taken, but on some
occasions displays attacks of melancholy. He
no doubt is at a loss to know how he can be
devoted to Amanda without first disposing of
his present wife.

A MEDICAL AUTHOR.
DR.. Hartman Writes on Chronic Ca
tarrh, Coughs, Colds, LaGrippe and
Consumption, as Follows:

Chronic catarrh is the bane Of American
civilization. There is no organ of the human
body that IL cannot destroy, nor disease it does
not initiate. Catarrb prevails In all seasons
and spares no calling or vocation No locality
is entirely free from its ravages; no amount of
vitality can withstand its attack. Neither
childhood or old age Is exempt from its pres
ence, and il does not respect sex, color or
nationality, Summer and winter, spring and
autumn chronic catarrh ceases not to atilict a
large per cent. of the irhabitants of this
country. But II is especially during the win.
ter season that oatarrh does its deadly work.
Every cold wave, every wintry blizzard, every
storm of sleet snow or rain adds thousands to
the annual list Of victims of chronic catarrh.
Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of the
human body
Unfortunately, however, catarrh of most of
the organs is not called catarrh, and many
people are led astray as to the real nature of
their disease. IL the catarrh happens TO be lo-
Gated in the head or throat II is then generally
called catarrh; but il II is located in the bron.
chial tubes It is called bronchitis; if in the
stomach it is called dyspepsia; catarrh of the
kidneys is called Bright's disease, while ca
tarrh Of the pelvic organs is called female
weakness and varisus other names.
Catarrh remedies are of two classes-those
that cure and those that relieve. Those that
cure are called specifics those that only re-
lieve are called palliatives. The effect of ca
tarrh palliatives Is often immediate, but al
ways temporary. They never cure. This
kind of catarrh medicines includes sprays,
snuffs, inhalants, gargles and local applica-
tions of all kinds. They seem to cure for
awhile, but the disease is sure to return.
Pe-ru-na belongs to the class of catarrh med
icines called specifics. Pe-ru-na does not pal.
late the symptoms but cures the disease. II
is sometimes slow 1t its action in old cases Of
chronic catarrh, but II is reand its effects are
permanent. Thousands of cures are reported
every year. 1t is also an unfailing remedy for
coughs, bronchitis, Ia grippe, consumption in
its early stages, and all the chronic diseases OF
winter. An excellent treatise on catarrh will
be sent free to any address by The Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company Of Columbus,

MUST HAVE A HE'LL
To Go to He'll in and Heaven to Go to
Heaven i'm.

Evangelist Little is stirring up the people of
Massillon and also the churches. He attacks
numerous church creeds but has little creed
Of his own. Here is an extract from one of
his characteristic sermons:
while believe in heaven l also believe
in hell. know it is not polite to preach it.
Heaven must have its opposite. reason from
science that there must be an opposite in the
spiritual r2alm; this analogy is seen in all
nature. I have known inidels to renounce
infdellty but have never known a person to
renodnce Christianity when dying, Are you
ready for the text: Where Win You Spend
Your EternityT If you are to get to the
heaven hereafter you must have some of it
here. You must have a foretaste. You must
have a heaven to go to heaven in. If you go
to hell you will have hell to go to hell in"

misunderstood ORDERS.
A Yard Engine and Freight Engine
Come Together at MassillOn.

The railroads running through Massillon
are having bad luck. Another wreck occurred
Tuesday night. This time it was the Cleve-
land, Lorain & Wheeling road that sustained
the damage. The wreck occurred in the yards
and there might have been fatality had not
the crews jumped. A yard engine and north
bound freight collided head and head while
running forty miles an hour. Engineer Stock
well, of the shifter, reversed his engine and
both he and the fireman jumped. When the
locomotives struck, Stockwelps engine started
back through the yards under full head Of
steam. Luckily 1t was derailed after travel
ing half mile or the result would have been
more serious. Both engines were greatly dam
aged. The blame lies with Stockwell, who
misunderstood his orders.
