FIGHT With BURGLARS.
THE POLICE GET WITHIN SHOOT
ING DISTANCE
Aud Several Shots are Exchanged But
Nobody Is Hit-ThriIIinR Story of
How the Men We're Surprised at
an Attempt at Burglary,

HOW the Men We're surprised at
an Attempt at Burglary,
Another battle between officers and
burglars occurred Saturday night about
the hour of midnight. At that time,
Officers Hasler and Davis were patroling
their beat in North Market street. They
had reached the Troy laundry In the
Masonic building, when two men were
noticed TO step from the shadows of the
building and turn rapidly into West
North street. As they passed the North
street entrance, they were Joined by
another man. and the trio started west
picions were aroused, and they followed
the men, who turned into Court street
and ran. The officers gave chase and
we're making gains on the fellows, when
one Of them suddenly turned and fired q
shot at the officers. The policemen re-
turned the fire and running fight was
kept up for considerable distance.
Officer Davis was slightly In advance and
as he neared building which projects
over the pavement, he was met with a
shot that singsd his eyebrows and burned
his face. The bullet, however, sped
harmlessly into coal shed across the
street. The officer fired several shots at
the man, who was seen to etagger. His
companions, who were ahead, turned
back and assisted the apparently wounded
man, who was able to strike a good gait
out Second street. At Dewalt street the
fugitives turned north, and they soon
disappeared in the Catholic cemetery.
1t was discovered, afterwards, that
entrance to the Troy laundry had been
gained through the North street entrance.
pair Of nippers having been used to
turn the key which had been left in the
lock. The combination had been broken
from the safe; hole was drilled into the
safe door; powder had been introduced
and all preparations had been made to
blow the safe, when the officers oppor-
tunely arrived and spoiled the scheme.
Early Sunday morning son of Eugene
Maser went to the coal shed for bucket
Of coal. He found blood upon the shovel,
and quantity of straw that had been
emptied from bed tick was saturated
with blood. Carriage tracks led close to
the shed and it was the opinion that the
wounded burglar was taken into the shed
until carriage could be secured to re-
move him. The theory seems good one,
as horse and buggy were stolen satur-
day night from John Louztenheiser,
who reported the matter to the police.

PRIVILEGED CLASS.
An Osnaburg Man Writes Some Perti
nent Things About the Present
Situation.
ID. McConVille,
Chairman.
W. A. Taylor,
Secretary.

Editor News Democrat: desire
among Others to record my denunoiatior
Of those who always did and are today
schemlng to crush honest toilers. WheT
Christ was on earth he found 1t necessary
to denounce this greedy, avarioious set
He said: Woe unto ye, ye rich men, fol
ye shall weep and howl for the iniseriet
that shall come upon you. Your gar
ments are moth eaten, and your gold Is
cankered, and they shall rise up against
you in the day of Judgment. You heap
burdens on the poor, grlevous to be
borne, but will not touch them (the
burdens) with one oflyour fingers"
will ask those who differ from me on
the money question, why there should be
a solid money for the rich and a depreci-
ated, demonetized money for the rest Of
the community Why should the bon1-
holder not take the same money we must
takeP Don't you think the dollar we have
to be paid with, should be worth 100
cents, the same as the bond-holders'
dollar? think you will say yes. Then
don't you think the only way to do it is
to give silver the same privilege as gold,
that is, free coinage the same as goldS
What makes the difference between the
dollars is simply that gold mas free coin
age and silver has not. They say gold is
honest and silver is dishon est money. Why
should the mass of the people he COM
PEELED to take the dishonest dollar and
somebody else be paid with the honest
dollarY Can't you see that they want
to be made both alike-honest-though
the one Is yellow and the other is whiteY
Don't you think that both ought to be
free and equal, and worth each alike 100
cents and pay, either or both Of them, all
debts, both public and private, except in
a special case of contract for goldY
Cant you see that by single gold
standard you will be drained of all the
gold you can get out Of your mountain Of
gold mines' CAN'T you see it is the
object Of the money men to have you
forever indebted to them py having you
in such position that you must contin-
ually be borrowing of them, and probably
make you bankrupt and finally tenants
at willP Don't you know that when the
executive of the United States borrows
millions of dollars from European money
lenders, that he, in giving the bond,
virtually mortgages your land, and that
you must pay off the bonds in gold ON
gold standard, and If you cannot get gold
to pay for them, your farms are forfeited'
Think seriously of these things and vote
for honest dollars, never mind the color,
and for honest men who are willing to
take the same as you.
Respectfully,
John Miller.

ENGLAND TREMBLES
Lest Bryan Should be Elected Presi
dents of the United Stated and
Bimetallism be Restored.

Rev. Ruth B. Ridges, of Toledo, Ohio
who has been speaking to crowded
houses in the eighteenth congressional
district, for Bryan and free silver, this
morning received the following news
from we'll known literary woman who
is visiting in England:
"They are in a great state here lest
Bryan should be elected. They say II
will make q loss to England of thousands
of millions.
The same writer says:
"The winter is coming on and Eng.
land is already full of anxiety for the
poverty and the consequent crimes of the
cold season. The rich get richer and the
poor get more hopeless and inhuman. 1t
cost 5000 pounds to send the queen to
and from Balmoral, while last week the
paupers sitting at the public table in
London reached over 9s, 0OO-1,O 900 more
than the week BEFORE
The letters are in Mrs, Ridges posses
sion and can be seen by any who wish
further proof Of these statements.
The question to be decided by the
working people of this country Is, "Shsll
we legislate to enrich England? Shall we
fasten upon ourselves financial system
that will eventually make of us a nation
of paupers?'

the honest voters Of Ohio. No doubt
you have noticed in the press In the last
few days, the refusal of the Secretary OF
State to remove the name Of William II.
Barr from the electoral ticket, although
Mr.. Barr has given his written resigna-
tion to the Secretary of State and it Is
now on file in that office. The object
and intent in leaving his name upon
the ballot is TO deceive the Peoples party
voters into voting for Mr.. Barr, and thus
making them lose their vote on the whole
electoral ticket We desire to have you
cell attention In vour paper to this out
rage which is attempted TO be perpetrated
by Secretary of State Taylor and his
henohman, Charles E. Kinney, as chief
clerk and the Republican candidate for
Secretary Of State, and is the real insti-
gator and mover in this proceeding to de-
fraud the voters of Ohio.
Yours truly,

RUDOLPH BAUHOF.
PROMINENT MASON CALLED TO
THE OTHER WORLD.
A Substantial, Honest and Safe Citizen
Dies After an Extended Illness
Was a Leader In Masonic Cir
cIes and Prominent CiIizsn,

Was a Leader In Masonic Cir
cies and Prominent Ciiizs
The soul of one old Canton citizen
was almost upon It's long flight into the
great beyond when the angel Of death APP
peared in the household Of Rudolph
Bauhof, and carried its master far out of
the reach Of man. For thirty-six years
Mr.. Bauhof had been connected with
the business interests of this city and he
was we'll known as a fearless and CON
scientious man, whose death will be q
severe loss to the community. In all
his dealings he was scrupulously just and
honest and he enjoyed the respect and
confidence of all who knew him. He was
member of Mannheim Lodge I. o. o..
F.,snd was thirty-second degree Mason.
Mr.. Bauhof was born In Berne, Switzer-
land, August 8, 1889, and his youth and
early manhood were spent in that country
where he learned the lessons ofliberty and
love of freedom. Seeking to better his
condition, st the age of nineteen he emf.
grated to this country and settled first in
Cleveland, where he remained for num-
Der of years, and married his wife, now
deceased, in 1868.
Thirty-six years ago he came to Canton
aud started in business as a dealer in
marble. In 1875 he started bakery, in
which business he was engaged when he
died.
Mr.. Bauhof had been sick for some
time past, suffering from a complication
Of diseases. He received the best of
medical care and attention, but all to no
avail. His death, which occurred at 1880
Friday night, was aue to paralysis Of the
heart.
His wife died in 1890, and he leaves
family of grown-up sons and daugters to
mourn their less. They are: Misses
Emma, Lydia, Lizzie and Nettie Bauhof,
Mrs. Perry Souders, Mrs. t. J. Post,
Mrs. George f. Lelansky, and Messrs.
Henry and Ralph Bauhof.

II have never had days sickness In
my life, said middle-aged man the
other day.
"What comfort it would be" sighs
some poor invalid, "to be in his place for
year or two" Yet half of the invalids
we see might be just as healthy as he, II
they would only take proper care of them
selves, eat proper food--and digest it,
It's so strange that such simple things
are overlooked by those who want health
Food makes health.
1t makes strength--and strength wards
off sickness. The man who had never
been sick was strong because he always
digested his food and you could become
the same by helping your stomach to
work as well as his. Shaker Digestive
Cordial will help your stomach and will
make you strong and healthy by making
the food you eat make you fat.
