SERIOUS CHARGE
PLACED AGAINST CONSTABLE
ADAM JACKMAN.
Henry A. Wise, of Plain Township,
Accuses HIM of Extorting Money
From His Daughter Anna Wise
-Jackman Pleads Not Guilty.

Henry A. Wise, u milkman living near
this city, today filed an affidavit In may
ors court against Constable Adam W.
Jackman, charging him with extortion.
The plaintiff is the father Of Annie M.
Wise, young woman who recently caus-
ed the arrest of a Canton man on a pater-
nifty charge. The case against the defen-
dant was settled before Squire Darr at
the time by defendant paying the plain
tiff the sum of $3.50 and costs. 1t is al
legged by Mr.. Wise that after the settle
ment the constable insisted upon being
paid S25 additional for extra expenses
incurred in the case, and that while he
at first refused, he finally settled the mat
ter by paying s2O Mr.. Wise now claims
that this was extortion, hence the action.
Constable Jackman was arrested at
noon by Marshal Reed. He was allowed
his freedom on his own recognizance un.
til a later hour this afternoon, when he
will be arraigned before Mayor Rice.
The offense charged against Jackman
is serious one, the penalty being rather
severe in case of conviction. The section
of the statutes referring to the offense is
as follows: Amy judge justice, coroner,
constable, jailor or other officer of this
state, either judicial or ministerial, who
shall knowingly ask, demand or receive
any fee or reward to execute ana do his
duty, other than is or shall be allowed by
this state, every person SO offending shall
upon conviction thereof be fined in any
sum not exceeding 5000, or imprisoned
in the county Jail for not exceeding ten
days, or both, and for seven years there
after be incapable of holding any office of
honor, profit or trust in this state"
Constable Jackman appeared before
Mayor Rice, pleaded not guilty, and
waived examination. He was thereupon
bound over to the court Of common pleas
and gave bond in the sum of $500 for
his appearance before the next grand
jury.

jury.

Some of the residents of Plain town
ship are developing a huge thirst and they
propose to knock out the present local
option low which prohibits the sale of
Intoxicating liquors in their township,
If such thing is possible. For many
long months the citizens of New Berlin
and Middlebranch have been compelled
to quench their internal fires with plain
aqua pura, a la town pump. When the
rural swain visited the city he quaffed
the ambtr nj ctar fresh from a big brown
keg, filed up to his hearts content and
went home happy. Then when the
dawn disturbing cock chased the cobwebs
Of sleep from his burning brow he arose
only to be greeted with the prospect of a
long pull at the town pump. No seduc-
tive cocktail or rejuvenating gin flzz, no
hair curling absinthe frappe nor damiana
eye opener, nothing but plain Plain
township water, microbes and all. This
thing has become monotonous with the
abuTuy yeOIleD Ol MlulNleDrduCn ana
the harness makers of New Berlin, and
now they have decided to register vigor-
Gus kick against what they believe is a
confoundtd usurpation of their rights
If there are people so satisfied with life
they argue, that they don't want the ad-
ded joy of schooner of beer or two
fingers of good old rye, why then let it
alone. AS for us, We'll take u smile or
two and for short time at least own
more of this earth than half the sober
people in town.
So some of the Industrious farmers of
the township have prepared petitions and
are hustling for signatures. The town
ship polls about 500 votes and the law re-
quires one-fourth the number as petition
ers. If the requisite number is obtained
a special election will be held and the
battle between the faithful old pump and
the,inspiring jug will be flercely fought.

Two young men named Bender and
whitman, residing east of New Berlin,
came to Canton Monday to enjoy brief
spell of high life in big town. The
young men boldly tackled the tenderloin,
and the tenderloin graciously responded
and tackled the boys with the result that
Canton gay and sportive territory in the
east end became suddenly richer by nearly
5000. The Bender youth but recently
arrived from Michigan, where he had
labored long ani succeeded in accumulat-
ing considerable roll. He and his friend
Whitman came to the city and after en-
joying visits to several notorious dives in
the red light district, finally met two
handsome but frail girls who had fun
with the country boys and their cash.

be 30, otherwise coins would be melted
and sold as metal at profit and the
nations currency disappear as fast as
produced.
Under the law of 1909, one pound Troy
of gold was made worth Is pounds Of
silver. Under this relative value these
metals were bought and sold in the mar
kets of the world from 1899 to 1884
From 1884 until February l2, 1s73,when
silver was demoneti zed in the United
States, one pound of gold was made by
law worth sixteen pounds of silver, and
these metals were so bought and sold in
the United States during that time, and
for that reason had to be so bought and
sold in England,
The United States did for a period of
80 years, from 1884 to 1873, dictate the
market price of gold and silver to the
civilized nations of the world. Such
being the case, it seems eminently proper
to inquire into the motives that prompted
the demonetization of silver by the con-
gress Of the United States in 1878, and
into the motives that prompted the st.
Louis convention to say that we will sup
port the gold standard until an agree
ment can be effected with the civilized
nations aforesaid, and IL the investiga-
tion leads to the conclusion that the act
Of demonetization of 1878 was the act of
others, and not PATRIOTS and the in
corporation Of the gold standard clause
in the platform Of the st. Louis conven-
tion was the act of money muddlers and
not the act of currency reformers, do not
blame the writer.

Naturally they were filled with the
deepest grief when they brought their
daughter to DIR. Pyle for examination.
After careful diagnosis of her case, and
finding her suffering from serious bodily
disorders, he gave It as his opinion that
she might be restored TO health, both in
body and mind by submitting to an
operation. She entered the hospital and
the operation was performed; almost
Immediately after she found herself free
from her serious delusions, while the JOY
of her mother when she found herself re-
bounds AS Miss Getz expressed IL, she
experienced "a terrible expansion of the
brain and sudden clearing of the men
tai faculties" There has been no return
of her malady, and she dates her cure
rom the time the operation was made.
DIR. Pyle, when aked about the case by
a News Democrat reporter, said that Miss
Getz's case was but one out of many he
had relieved in like manner, ,at least three
having come under his care during the
month of December. He expresses his
belief that were the cases filling our in
sane institutions properly diagnosed, from
one. half to three-6fths of them might be
relieved by surgery. 1.-THE popular
notion, he said "that patients suffering
from mental perversion have necessarily
diseased brain, is erroneous"

MENTALITY CLEARED.

From a ClOuded
Brain,

Canst thou minister to mind dis
easedS' is the standing query of the ages.
Modern surgery replies you can and that
is by curing the body in which the mind
dwells. The most remarkable instance
Of the fact that this can be done through
surgery has developed in the case Of Miss
Celia Getz, Of North Lawrence, who has
just gone home cured from Aultman
hospital, after bling operated upon by
DIR. J. S. Pyle For some time Miss ctetz
had been the subject Of extreme melan-
cholia, and 1t grew SO upon her that she
did not recognize her nearest friends,
not excepting her own father and mother.
Medicines were Of no account, and her
parents at last reached the point where
