RESISTED THE SHERIFF.
John Zopf Creates Lively Scene When
He Witnesses His Mother
Being Handcuffed.

Last Saturday Mrs. Susan Zopf re-
Gently Of Canton, was sitting chatting
with Rcquaintar ces at the hone Of An
drew Gilbert, where she had been invited
to dinner, says the Bolivar correspondent
Of the Massillon Independent, when a
two-hGrse carriage drove up to the Gilbert
residence and man leaped from II. He
came to arrest Mrs zopf, who is said TO
be insane. About this time Mrs Zopf's
son John arrived on the scene, ana not
knowing the m issinn Of the strange man,
leapcd TO his mothers side and attempted
to prevent him from placing handouts
on her wrists. The deputy struck at
John with mall but be lodged the
blow, and grabbed a stick Of stove wood
and rushed at the deputy, when Gilbert
caught John and prevented him from
striking the sheriff. Some years ago
Mrs IoTf acted queerly on several &C.
cSsions, and the daughters were iDsIru-
mental in having her sent to an institu-
Judged insane, although not dangerously
so. She was not away long until sbe re-
turned to ber two daughters. She claims
they have been making her life miserable
ever since. Mrs. Zopf came to Bolivar
a few weeks ago on visit to her son
and neighbors. While here she took
notion to fit up sevearl rooms in her uld
home which she still owns, and sent sf-
ter her goods that are in possession of the
two daughters. She had the rooms
papered and made some garden. She
sent Joseph Hardesty with bis team after
the goods, and she accompanied by her
son, drove up in road wagon, stopping
at her brother-in-law's, Ephraim Fobl,
Of Canton. As soon as the gilrs found
out that she was there, they sent a police
man and doctor to their home and to
forbid Mr.. Hardesty taking the ,ods.
She is at Mr.. Fohl's ard the whole affair
is being Investigated.

SURPRISED HIM.
A Pleasant Event in the Membership
of Y. P. c. Z. Of Zion Chapel
Presents Received.

On Wednesday evening, April Z, the
chapel, together with Brother NJ. f..
Fritz, our pastor, and his family, Brother
c. + Thompson and family, neighbors
aud their children, to the number Of
sixty persons, took it upon themselves
to surprise Brother d. l.. Brown, our
worthy Y. p. c U. president at Zion
Chapel. So we gathered at the church
at 1880 p. m, armed with well-flled
baskets, and proceeded to the houss, one
half mile north of the church, headed by
Brothers Fritz and Thompson. On ar.
riViDg at the house, We found that
Brother Brown an5 family had just re-
tired having worked hard during the
day and were weary. Brother Thompson
cal ed Brother Brown up to open the door
when we took the house ty storm. After
passing several hours in social way, a
bountiful lap piece was served by the
sisters, after which religious services were
led by Brother Fritz, who in behalf of
the society in a neat little speech, ap-
propriate for the occasion, presented
Brown with fine spring seat rocker,
together with a years subscription to
the Christian Herald, with the Bible
premium. This small gift is intended
in feeble way to symbolic our friend
ship, sympathy and good will, and our
appreciation of the moral worth of onr
Y. p c. U. president, and Of his fidelity
to the CAUSE of Christ. The presentation
was followed by fervent and effectual
prayer by Brother Thompson, and then
we sang Blest be The Tie That Binds. "
This little surprise was a complete sue
cess in every particular. After bidding
Brother Brown and family good night,
we repaired to our homes, feeling that
we had been made happier and better
and our prayer is that God will contin-
ue to be with and abundantly bless
Brother Brown and family, and that we
may all be gathered into Fathers House
at last. One of Them.

ROAD OF THEIR OWN.
West End Farmers Have a Project on
Hand That May Be Brought
to a Successful Issue.

Farmers residing west Of Massilon are
endeavoring to form Farmers Cooper
ative Street Railway Company, to build
line between Massllon and Dalton, a
distance Of nine miles, passing through
West Brookfeld and East GreenViile.
The plan is for each farmer to give the
right of way gratis, and uss their teams
for grading. The only cash expenditure
would he for ties, steel rails and rolling
stock. 1t is possible that gasoline will
be the motor power instead of electricity,
although this has not yet been definitely
decided. The outlook is encouraging
for the success Of the road.

QUEEN VICTORIA.
How the Greatest Queen on Earth
Preserves Her Health.

The Queen Of all England, who is also
the Empress Of India, has already at
tanned to healthy cid age. The subject
Of her longevity is Of the greatest anxiety
and consequence to her subjects. Ths
utmost care is being taken to prOlong
her life for many years yet, though she is
already much in excess Of seventy. The
greatest danger that threatens persons OF
her age are Hil lnents brought about by
exposure to cold and changeable tempera-
ture ailments that aft ct the mucous
membranes in various parts Of the body,
especially the throat and lungs. To
avoid chaugeable temperature the mighty
queen governed by the advice of her ply
sioians, spends several months of every
winter away from England and seeks the
mild climate of Italy. This preoaution,
no doubt, Is very wise, for the tqueen
continues in splendid health.
But few people who are not so fortu-
nately situated as the great Vicotria can
not hunt milder climes in the winter
and Changeable spring, must face weather
as it comes. The consequence is that
many thousands Of them contract Ids
during such periods Of exposure. Colds
are Inflammation of the mucous mem
branes, and may occur in different parts
Of the body. When colds become chro ic
they are termed catarrh-a much dreaded
ailment
Ps-ru-na is the only internal remedial
agent that is reliable cure for catarrh.
1t is Of great importance that every suf
ferer from cstarrh, should duly take note
Of this fact. This knowledge is most
valuable. Pe-ru-na has cured thousands
and will continue to cure thousands
until some better remedy can be devised.
