made a statement at the county Jail
here, in the presence of j. =. Hale

Jacob A. Strassburger, Attorney James

riding with James A. Clemmer on
the night of Oct. 28, 1896, when
Mrs. Charles o. Kaiser, Jr., was mur.
dered, but denying that she had any
fOreknowledge that the crime was to
be committed, or that she knew any,
thing whatever about it until the fact
OF the murder was knows to all the
world.
The woman's statement will be made
public in due course. From those who
heard it made it has been learned that
in it she tries only to exculpate herseli
from knowledge of or partiy ipation In

one. her counsel says it is merely q
statement of what will be claimed in
her defense, and that with it or despite
1t he expects to see his client eventually

upon the fact that "this is the only
statement Miss DeKalb has ever made,
and that it must not be called con-
fession, for she admits no foreknowl-
edge of the crime"

PROSPERITY BOOMERS.

County merchants stocked up pretty
well three or four months ago thinking
the rise in wheat would help their trade
No doubt, too, knowing that inCrea' ed
duties under the Dingley law would
raise prices in goods the merchants
bought heavy to take advantage of the
rise. But merchants are not getting
money out of their goods as anticipated,
The fact is people have not the means
to bug, The Philadelphia Press says
that the overturn of manufacturers is
large; but prices do not give profits. 3"
Dun's Review says that "woolens are
relatively so much lower than wool that
there are mills which could make more
money by selling their stock of wool
than by spinning it," And tie Press
adds that "some wooden mills have
stopped part Of their looms IN conse
quence, while in cotton goods prices are
now so low that New England mills are
proposing a shutdown on a large scale, /"
The Philadelphia Enquirer, another
prosperity organ, says: "The spectacle
of a really enormous volume of business,
done practically without any profit, in
duces caution everywhere; there has
been no response to the most recent and
slight rise in stock exchanges in the in
dustrial world or in trading circles,
where the old feeling of repression still
obtains and, in fact, is even more pro-
minent than 1t has been"

GER MS, AND GERMS.

The learned physicians these days at
tribute human disease largely to germs
a germ being the first rudiment of an
organism and this organism causing the
disease.
Other learned gentlemen say these
germs, bacteria, or whatever else called
are the result Of the diseased condition,
not the cause. There is much specula,
tion in all this no doubt, but it is well
settled that some troubles, whooping
cough, measles, small pox, etc, pass
from one to another some way.
However or whatever the germ OF
start, the fact remains and is quite
mysterious to ordinary humanity. The
safe rule is to form and adhere to good
habits and 80 keep the body in health
full condition and give disease germs nc
chance to germinate. The system will

DEATH OF PETER CHANCE.

On Monday morning, the Goth inst as
noticed in the city papers of that date,
death removed from our midst well
known and worthy citizen of Canton,
and his familiar face and form and
kindly salutations will be missed by very
many Of the people of Canton, old and
young.
Mr.. Chances friends for some time
past have noticed that he was failing,
A slight touch of paralysis about three
years ago impaired one Of his legs some
what, though not sufficiently to attract
general attention. The stroke therefore
that caused his demise was probably the
third.
Mr. Chances first advent to Canton,
to remain for a time, was in the fall of
1915, two or three months after he lost
his arm, and he came to attend A. Nc
Gregor's school. He taught school a few
terms and John McGragor remembers
Peter Chance as mis- first teacher. He did
some work as deputy sheriff under
George y. Webb and in 1852 was elected
recorder and was reelected in 1855.
Mr.. Chances life was one Of activity,
and he served as mayor of Canton by ap-
pointment Of council, two or three terms
was assistant clerk Of the House at Co
mmbus; helped to organize the gas
works; was elected sheriff in 1868 and
reelected in 1865,
In the seventies he served one term as
justice Of the peace. After getting out Of
the sheriff's Office he was admitted to the
bar and did some business for time.
Mr.. ChQnce was united in marriage in
the early tlfties with Miss Scott, of Phila-
delphia, who survives her husband and is
well preserved lady. Their seven
worthy off spring, six sons and a daugh-
ter, also survive. The family residence
on North Cleveland avenue is on a part Of
a tract of some 80 acres he bought years
ago, long before the city spread out so
far. 1t will be seen that deceased tried
to do his duty and lead useful life
His attachments were strong and his
goodness of heart and sociability un-
doubted
Deceased, though fair-sized man,
was much less in dimensions than his
stalwart father, whose stature and
breadth of shoulders and size of body are
we'll remembered by the writer Of this ar
ticle. Perry Chance was a man to be re-
membered in these respects. Stark
oonuty in those days could show a num-
Der Of such men, but they now number
few, for they were the products OF out
door life and hard work among the hills
of Ohio or the mountains of Pennsylva-
mia, Virginia or Maryland
In bidding thus farewell by a few words
of regard to an old friend just departed,
we beg to express heartfelt sympathy
with the family. His vacant place will
long serve to keep him in fresh remem-
brance.

when in healthful condition can 1t put
forth the proper effort to do so.
We have political germs too which
germlnate and produce diseased con.
ditions in the body politique, these con
ditions bring poverty and suffering to
many and riches to some that lead al
times rather to evil than good all round.
A privilege or franchise oftentimes
proves a germ for evil to the toiling peo.
Pile. A law favoring trust or mon
opoly, enabling as in the case of the
sugar trust to reap millions of extra
profit annually, ,assuredly is a deleterious
germ.
These germs, one and all, should be
given killing dose that would finish
them. The proper mode of ad
ministering is through the ballot box
and with a paper pellet,

As snow flakes fall upon the sod;
And executes a freeman's will,
As lightning does the will Of God"

LAST CARNEGIE ARMoR


it Was Tested Mt Indian Head and
Proved Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, Nov 30.--A plate OF
armor representing lot of 800 tons for
the S-inch turrets for the battlships
Kearsarge and Kentucky has been
tested at the Indian Head proving
ground. For testing purposes two s.
inch shells, one Carpenter projectile
and the other Wheeler sterling, were
fired at the plate, one at high and the
other at a low velocity.
Neither penetrated or cracked the
plate, but partially welded themselves
into it. The test was regarded as en-
tirely satisfactory and insures the ac-
ceptance of the armor. The delivery
of the 800 tons will wind up the con-
tracts which the government has with
the Carnegie company for the supply
OF armor for naval vessels and it is not
expected that any more will be entered
pending settlement of the whole
arnor question by congress.
