THE INCREASE BE GRANTED.
The interests Of the people require that
the common pleas court, the most i'm
portant court in the state, should be pro.
vided with the best legal talent which
the state affords. The lives, liberty and
property of tho citizens are In the keeping
of these courts We are very fortunate In
having upon the bench men who COM
mand the respect and confidence, not only
of the people Of the sub division, but of
the bar and people of the entire state
We cannot afford to lose the services of
any Of these judges, because Of made
quate compensation. Within the last
year, IL is well known that Judge well
qualified for his position, has been obliged
TO give IL up because Of inadequate com
pensation.
In these times, with the demands made
upon the Judge, the cost of living, and
the expense of maintaining and educat-
ing his family, to say nothing of any pro-
vision beyond that demands that he shall
be at least fairly compensated 70 his ser.
vices There has been no thought on the
part Of the bar that such measure
should be adopted behind the backs, or
without the knowledge Of the people, and
1t Is believed that when the measure Is
understood, it will meet the appreciation
of the tax payer of the subdivision re.

SURPLUS LABOR

Soon.

The Signatures to the Pike Towusbi,
Dood Road Petitions Going Down
Rapidly.
Inc question that Is now botherinp the
work-house trustees is how to keen the
convicts regularly employed. There are
usually from forty to sixty oonvicts i'm.
prisoned in the work-house and it takes
an unusual amount Of work TO keen
them busy.
Since the work house has been in onera.
tion, the creek near by has been straight
ehed' all the grading and filling about the
buildings has been done and an immense
quantity of stone has been broken. But
'iie "ork yet to do about the buildings is
no1 SUFFICIENT to keep the convicts busy.
Some time ago the work. house trustees
ana superintendent were in Pittsbure
visiting the penal institutions there for
the purpose Of devising methods to
oDVlate this trouble. The question of
allowing convict labor TO come in c0m0e-
1ltion with free labor was talked Of but
this is not considered a popular idea.
An idea has originated with some of
the farmers in Pike township, that il
would be good scheme to utilize convict
labor by improving the country roads
throughout Stark county, beginning at
the city limits and running out several
miles In the rural districts. Mr.. John
schwalm, of Pike township, is circulat-
ing petition, requesting the commits
sloners to authorize this to be done. The
petition is being signed by all the leading
citizens and taxpayers of Canton. 1t is
claimed that good roads can be accom-
pl ished in this way without much addi-
tional cost to the taxpayers and that
from ten to fifteen miles OF road can be
improved every year
The question of good roads has been
talked about for twenty years, but thus
far no concerted movement has been done
to bring them about

A RELIC. OF THE PAST.
Surgical Operation for the Cure of
Piles and Rectal Diseases
NO LoNGER NECESSARY.
A Medical Discovery which Will
Change the Treatment of all
Such Diseases,

1t has long been thought not only by
some phsyicians but by people in general
that the common painful and exceedingly
annoying trouble, piles, was practically
incurable by any other means than a
surgical operation, and this belief has
been the cause Of years of needless suffer.
ing, because of the natural dread of sur
gical operations.
There are many salves, olntments and
similar remedies on the market which
afford some relief In cases of piles, but
the Pyramid Pile Cure is the only prepa-
ration so far intoduced than can be relia-
bly, depended upon TO cure TO stay cured,
every form Of itching, bleeding or pro-
truding piles.
Mrs. M. c. Hinkley, Of 601 Mississippi
ST., indianapolis, was told by her physi
clans that nothing but q surgical opera.
tion costing between seven and eight
hundred dollars could cure her as she had
suffered for Is years: yet even in such a
case as hers the Pyramid Pile Cure ac.
complished q complete cure. IT knew an
operation would be death TO me and tried
the Pyramid with very little hope and II
is not to be wondered at that 1 am SO
enthusiastic IN it's praise"
Major Dean, of Columbus, Ohio, saws
he suffered for forty years from piles and
twenty years from itching piles and in his
case two packages Of the Pyramid cured
him.
Mr.. ID. f.. Reed, Of South Lyons, Mich,
says l would not take $500 and be placed
back where 1 was before used the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure suffered for years and
1t is now eighteen months since'I used It
and not the slightest trace of the trouble
has returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
nearly all druggists at 80 cents and 81
per package and as IL contains no opium,
cocaine or other poisonous drug, can be
used with perfect safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form who will give this excelentl remedy
n trial. Made by the Pyramid Co
Albion, Mich. Any druggist can get il
for you.
