DARING WORK.
ALLIANCE CHILD KIDNAPPED BY
FALSE STORIES.
Taken From Home with the Consent
of Its Parents and Cannot Now
be Citizens Are
Greatly Iucensed.

One Of the most daring cases of kidnap-
ing of modern years was perpetrated in
Alliance Saturday evening and has just
been placed in the hands of the police.
The victim Is a little Rosa Hoffmeyer, the
nine-y -yoar-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Hoffmeyer. Mr. Hoffmeyer is q
hard working German and is employed
at the Garfield brick works.
Saturday afternoon u stranger called at
the Hoffmeyer home and said he wanted
to adopt girl eight or nine years old.
He claimed that he lived on farm near
Garfield. The stranger was seemingly
about thirty-flve years old and wore a
black soft hat and black suit. He had II
small mustache end gave his name as
Wilbur. His choice of the girls was
Rosa. She is bright child and large for
her age He told the mother that the
child could ride to the farm in his buggy.
With n goodby kiss from mother and
the stranger had departed the mother
grew suspicious. Sunday the father went
to Beloit to look for the child and put in
the day hunting for the farm. He re-
turned footsore in the evening, but had
no tidings of the child. A fellow ans
wering the description of the one that
called at the Hoffmeyer home has been in
the city for two months. He attempted
to get little Eta Gobele and Maggie
Quinlan to go to his farm few weeks
apO b1t thpy rpfu sod One week apO he
tried to get one of Mrs. ID. j. Jones's lit
tie girls to go away with him, but they
refused and in their childish innocence sent
him to Hoffmeyers
The case is exciting much attention
and the villain if caught will be severely
dealt with by the enraged citizens. As
yet the police are unable to find a clew.

FIRED TWICE
With Suicidal Intent But Neither
Bullet Will Be Fatal--Tired of
Being Arrested.

Ernest Gustafson, we'll known en-
ploye of the Hampden works, shot himself
with suicidal intent Saturday evening
about 6 80 o'clock.
At the hour mentioned two pistol shots
were heard and man was seen to fall
in front of the G. W. Koons drug store
in South Market street. Passersby rush
ed to the mans assistance. DIR. +. Hart
was summoned and the patrol wagon was
sent for The doctor and the police patrol
arrived about the same time. The wound
ed man, who proved to be Ernest Gustaf
son. was placed on u stretcher and
removed TO the police station where DR..
II. ID. Brant examined the wound. A
hole made by 32-caliber bullet was
found close to the heart. The physician,
assisted by Officer Fred McCloud probed
for the bullet and located it under the
armpit. 1t had struck the second rib and
glanced. In very short time DIR. Brant
had removed the ball and dressed the
wound made by It.
Ernest Gustarson was one of the most
popular employees at the Hampden works.
He occasionally drank to excess and dur
ing these periods Of inebriation he threw
conventionality to the winds and pro-
cCeded to show the town decidedly hot
time. He was arrested Friday .'ight and
on Saturday morning was fined SO and
costs. This evidently preyed upon his
mind, as he told Officer McCloud as he lay
on the cot at the police station that he
was tired of being arrested
The revolver used was small vest
pocket affair." which accounts for the lack
of penetrating power. The injured man,
who is unmarried, was removed to his
rooms at 32G Prospect avenue. DR..
Brant stated today that his patient was
getting along nicely and he will be able
to be around in n few days.

A VERDICT.
Jury in the Musser- GOnser Case Ren.
ders an Important One
Friday Evening.

The jury in the case Of Franklin Musser
against John Gonser ct al, which was
on trial in court room No. ? before Judge
Taylor Friday afternoon, retired at 6
o'clock, and little later returned YER
dict for the plaintiff. This is an interest
ing case. Simon Musser, the plaintiffs
great grandfather, died years ago leav-
ing farm in Paris township to his wife
as long as she lived, with the provision
that at her death this would go to their
son Samuel. Later Samuel died and the
farm was left to the plaintiff by will.
The document was never probated and
lay in the possession Of Jacob Schmachten-
berger. Franklin Musser had been liv-
ing in the west since he was young
child, and he claims to never have known
of his possession of the farm by will un-
til five years ago. The land had in the
meantime been taken by other heirs.
As soon as Franklin learned of the will
he had it probated and commenced ac-
ton in court to gain possession Of the
farm.
The verdict Of the jury was in his
favor, and he will take possession. The
land is valued at $4,000, Y. f. Turner
and Squire Robertson represented the
plaintiff and Welty & Albaugh and
Meyer &, Piero the defendants.

JOHN p. JONES IN AN EMBAR-
RAISING POSITION.
He Told His People That Hanna Was
Th-i Euemy, But Modem Repub-
licanism Compsls Him 10 Vote
Against His Convic ,iuns,

A dispatch has been sent out from
Columbus to the effect that Hon. John
p. Jones, one of the newly elected mem
bers of the legislature from Stark county,
would refuse to vote for Mark Hanna for
senator, and was one of the men willing
to unite with the Hamilton county in
dependents and she Foraker men gener-
ally and bring about the defeat of Hanna
and the election of Bushnell or some
other Republican ofIhe Foraker school.
A disgruntled Republican who secretly
voted the Democratic legislative ticket,
discussing the matter with several well
known gentlemen last night, said;
ut is known that Mr. Jones does not
believe that the future of the government
depends upon Hanna. He does not think
that Hanna is the greatest man in the
country. In speech August ., 1897
after the Toledo convention had endorsed
Mr.. Hanna and had pledged him the Re
publican support Mr.. Jones was discuss
ing the coal strike and matters of interest
to miners in general He gave what
purported to he the history Of Chapman :
regarding the miners and also gave thy re-
cord of Hanna Having held both up TO
the light he exclaimed: If Chapman
and Mark Hanna are our friends, who, in
hell are our enemies| 1t Is known that
Mr. Jones is a Foraker man, and he has
always been independent in his actions
and has not fawned at the feet of the
powers that be i'm a manner either sup
pliant or sycophantic. For that reason
it has been expected that he would act
independently in this matter. He will
not. however, as will be seen later on.
Mr.. Jones knows where he got his votes.
He was voted for by Hanna men rs well
as Foraker men. The Republican plat
form pledged him to Hanna, whether he
would or not Having made his canvass
without rcpudiating Hanna openly, he
cannot do anything but vote for Hanna
who he declared was the enemy of his own
people. That is what latter day Republi.
canism is. individuality Of opinion is
not countenanced. The big bosses lay
down the rules, and men must ride
rough-shod over their own consciences or
get off the ticket. John p. Jones will vote
for Hanna He has no alternative. 1t

science, sad commentary upon the

A Case of Illegal Voting That viii
Laser Come Up in
the Courts.

John G.. Jones was arrested in Alliance

county of Stark when he had not been u
resident for six months, and also for vot-
ing in two different wards. When ar
raigned before the mayor of Alliance the
young man stated that he was u resident

He admitted that he had voted in the
second ward under his own name and in
the third ward as Frank James. He told
the court that on election day Edward
Hawn, a painter, had given him numer-
Gus drinks Of whiskey from bottle and
asked him to vote. He claims that
Hawn furnished him with enoughh liquor
to badly intoxicate him, whereupon he
cast the ballots as requested. Hawn ad-
mitted giving the man whiskey, but latly
denied having induced him to vote
Jones was bound over to higher
court. Hawn was arrested and bound

A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY
Yet it Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-

DIR. Jennison, who has made a life

natural, harmless way to Thoroughly
digest what is eaten, and this can be
done by a simple remedy which | have

with complete success. The remedy is
a combination of fruit and Vegetable
essences, pure and aseptic tepsin and
golden seal put up in the form of pleas.
ant tasting tablets and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. One or two OF these tablets
should be taken after meals and allowed
to dissolve in the mouth and mingling
with the food in the stomach digests it
completely before 1t has time to ferment,
decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat, eggs and
wholesome foods
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known, by people
generally, it would be national bless
