Indigestion is often taken for consump>
tion. The word consumption means
wasting away, and dyspeptics often
waste away as badly as oonsumptives.
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat, or
they don't digest what they do eat.
If the latter Is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will help
you to digest your food and stop your loss
of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs barks, and the juices OF fruit,
by the we'll known Shakers at Mount
Lebanon. II possesses great tonic and
digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed eonsumptives (who were
really ayspeptics), by simply helping the
stomachs TO digest their food, thus giving
them nourishment and new strength.
Sold by druggists. Trial bottles 10
cents.

Joseph Mohler Escapes Once But is

Remarkable Case "A Child's
Narrow Escape From Death.

Joseph Moh1er Escapes Once But is
Finally Killed Near His Home-A
Remarkable Case "A Child's
Narrow Escape From Death.
Joseph Mohler, whose serious injury
by being struck by Fort Wayne freight
train was chronicled but few weeks ago.
was, Sunday morning, Instantly killed
by northbound passenger train on the
Q. T. & V. railway. Mr.. Mohler, accom-
panied by his twelve year-old daughter,
started out driving. When they reached
the Valley tracks near Mr.. Mohler's
home,in Greentown, the little girl told her
grandpa, who was slightly deaf, that a
train was coming He got out of the
carriage and was holding the horse, when
the train came laundering along. The
animal became frightened and plunged
forward, throwing the unfortunate man
directly in front Of the train, which in
stantly crushed the life out OF him The
little girl, who had remained in the
vehicle, was illness to the horrible ac-
cident. She was uniDjured, and the horse
that caused his owners death was not
even scratched.
Mr.. Mohler was one Of the highly re.
spected citizens of Greentown, having
lived there for many years. On August
II, while he and his wife were crossing
the Fort Wayne railway four miles west
of Canton, a freight train dashed into
the carriage in which they were riding.
Mr.. Mohler was injured, and his wife was
instantly killed. 1t is a strange coinoi-
denoe that his death should occur in sub
stantially the same manner, SO soon after
the accident that ended the life of his
helpmeet.
Coroner MoQuate and Deputy Sheriff
Stone drove to the scene of Sunday 8
accident. 1t was, however, learned that
Mr.. Mohler met death In Summit county,
and the coroner Of that county was noti-
aed.

Rev. DIR. Talmagc Talks on the Political
Crisis.

Rev. DIR. Talmagc Talks on the Political
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Rev. T. De
Witt Talmage, in his sermon at the
First Presbyterian church Sunday.
made the following allusion to the pres
idential campaign:
During the last six presidential elec-
tions have been urged to enter the po-
iitical arena, but never have and never
will turn the pulpit in which l preach
into political stump. Every minister
must do as he feels called ON to do, and
I will not criticize him for doing what
he considers his duty; but all the politi-
cal harangues from pulpit from now
until the Sd of November will not, in
all the United States, change one vote,
but will leave many ears stopped against
anything that such clergyman may ut
ter the rest of their lives"
This statement was followed by a
reference to the depression throughout
the country, and he said that never
within his memory had $50 many peo-
pie literally starved to death as in the
past few months" He believed the
country was better off after every crisis,
and that the Almighty would settle the
controversy between the two metals.

The prettiest race of the week was the
2:24 pace. There was some great blood
struggling for mastery, and a gamey lot
of horses gave the crowd all the sport it
wanted. Mckinley, Ed. Langenbaob's
handsome horse, didn't go we'll in the
race. He is beauty, but is handicapped
somewhat this. year. MIR. Langenbach
asserts that the animal doesn't wear gold
toe.weights, but there seemed to be some
thing wrong. Still he stayed in the bunch
quite nicely. Silver Hal had no license
to win the race, but did 1t, in very fair
time.

FINANCIAL FAILURE
BUT THE FAIR MERITED A
LARGER ATTENDANCE.
The Closing Day He'd But Slim At
tendance-The Races Very Inter
estiuR and Prospects Very
Bright for Next Year.

Thursdays record as the big day at the
Fair has been sustained Early yesterday
morning people began to come to Canton
either by rail or team, and the fair ground
was soon thropged with citizens of Stark
county. The exhibits occupied their
time the most of the day, as there were
many in all departments and the general
concensus of opinion was that the fair
this year had been properly managed by
the secretary, Mr.. A. Bruce Correll, and
he is to be congratulated on the results
Of much hard labor. All day she various
halls were crowded and the stands well
patronized.
Rettigs Hippodrome was the center of
attraction during the hours of the exhibit
tion. The races and tricks Of the trained
animals were a great drawing card, and
the management of the fair made no
mistake In securing this attraction. Miss
Shaffer, the driver and rider, In the
hippodrome races, is great attraction.
She Is a beautiful woman with winning
ways, and In her particular line excels
anything seen in Canton with the best
cirouses. She daily receives the applause
of the hundreds of spectators as she per-
forms her daring duties.
For the afternoon there were three
races on the card and two of them were
won in straight heats, while the third
was partly postponed until today. The
first race, the 2:37 pace, had nine starters.
Ingomar, a Massillon horse, won the
race, but had to contend against good
blood in Dr. Fitch, Ada u, and Brown
Albert. Following is the summary:

The entries todays race were printed
yesterday. This Is the last day OF the
fair and Is we'll attended With the ex-
ception of the first day the weather has
been all that could be desired, and this
years fair will go down as a frst-class
one.
No greater success was ever accom-
plished than that secured by the Stark
County Agricultural Society.
In point OF exhibits it was probably the
best ever known in the county. Many
the members of the board of directors
did excellent work and assisted IN mek-
ing the Fair sncscess in the way of
exhibits. Secretary Correll worked hard
and the exhibits and special attractions
were there for the people to enjoy. 1t is
only to be regretted that there were not
more people in attendance. "he Fair
cannot be considered complete success
financially, but it will not be much
behind, and 1t served in the capacity Of
an educator, outlining what may be ex-
pected in the future. With such at
fractions, financial success is sure to
come In the future and all those who
labored to make IL success are desery-
ing or the highest commendation
The association is badly handicapped
for want of buildings. There should be
a machinery hall where manufacturers
can exhibit their;products. No one wants
to take valuable machinery and leave 1t
stand exposed to the. weather for nearly a
week
In the stock department the hogs have
the best of it. A new horse stable should
be erected where it would be possible for
visitors to see the stock on exhibition.
The poultry department is one of the
biggest departments of the fair every
year. 1t, like the machinery, is left out
at the mercy of the weather. The edu-
cational exhibit excelled anything ever
shown in Ohio.
The racing men and live stock ex'
hibitors have their part of the fair well
taken care Of and can be counted upon tc
aid In the improvement of the other sec
tions The racing men and live stock
men are the progressive element OF the
board and will be willing at all times tC
do anything for It's improvement
The attendance Friday was small, but
the races were excellent and larger
oorwd should have been present. The un'
finished race was won as forecast. sum

fire was of an incendiary origin, as evil

around the room is very manifest.
