the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two oi
them in the mouth and, mineling with
the food, they constitute a perfect diges'
tive, absolutely safe for the most sensi-
tive stomach,
They digest the food before ii has time
to ferment, thus preventing the forma-
ton Of gas and keeping the blood pure
and tree from the poisonous products oi
fermented, half digested food.

complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.

RUCH INNOCENT,

The hearing of the case Of J. S. COxey
against j. Edward Ruch Cf Massillon was
held in Squire Calmelat's court Monday.
1t took nearly all day to hear the testi-
mony. Attorneys Bow of Canton and
Day OF Massillon represented plaintiff
and I. f. Turner the defendant. No
testimony sufficient to hold the defen-
dant for embezzlement with which he
was charged was introduced and Mr..
Ruch was discharged. Mr.. Ruch was for
some years manager of Mr.. Coxey's sand
quarry, having full charge. Lately he
entered partnership with Mr.. Herman
Loefller in opposition to Mr.. Coxey and
the case was Immediately thereafter in
stituted against him. Mr.. Ruch is a
popular young man in Massillon and his
friends will be pleased to learn that he
is entirely vindicated.

MASTERING IN.
The Work Begun at Camp Bush
nell Today.
MAJOR HARVARD IN CHARGE
Two Regiments to he Sent TO Newport
News--The Examination and Enlist
ment VIII Take a Week or Ten Days.
Government VIII Issue Arms to Them.
New Uniforms Received.

COLUMBUS, May 3.-Major Valery
Harvard, detailed by the United States
government to examine and muster the
national guard at Camp BUSHNELL; has
arrived. He began his task today
and expects to finish in week or ten
days.
All day long camp was vocal with the
orders af the drill sergeants putting the
awkward squads through their PAGES. In
fact, there was hardly spot in the camp
where the sole of a quiet civilian foot
could find rest. Wherever one went one
found a bunch of wild-eyed yearlings
charging at him under the command of
fierce-voiced sergeant or corporal. The
result of the hard work is very clearly
apparent, however.
The new men are marching well, and,
except for lack of uniforms, make q
very presentable appearance. Part of
the time each day they are given in
structions in the manual of arms, and
no pains are spared to lick the men into
shape as soon as possible.
Major General Axline stated that the
government would issue arms to the
troops as soon as they are mustered into
service. 1t is anticipated that the new
30caliber rifle will be issued instead of
the old Springfield 1890. About 400
new uniforms were issued and the new
men will be uniformed day by day, as
fast as the uniforms are received at
camp.
The statement was made ON the
highest authority that two regiments of
the Ohio national guard will be ordered
to Newport News, Va, within the next
ten days. One of these regiments will
be the Fourteenth.

TO DEAF TO SERVE.

Judge McCarty impaneled the grand
jury Monday afternoon. After having
given them Instructions quite at length
and just as they were about to retire to
the jury room, two of the members,
Messrs. Creighton of Sandy and Berg of
Canton, arose and stated that they would
like to be excused from duty. They gave
as their reason deafness. Judge Nc
Carty questioned them and both replied
that they had not been able TO hear his
instructions to the jury. The court was
compelled 10 dismiss them, but not until
he had told them that they could have
saved considerable time and trouble If
they had made their condition known be-
fore. As a result two jurors, John Wag-
ner and Thomas Jones, were drawn from
bystanders and ths court then proceeded
to swear the jurors and repeat his lnstruc-
tionr. The grand jury is now working.

SHAPELESS MASS.
That Is What This Workman Would

Arthur E. Edgell, an epmloye of the
Canton Pressed Brick Co. on the Belien
farm, was this morning at work near
a dry pan used for grinding clay when
he slipped and fell into the machine. In
an instant the huge rollers crushed his
heels and he would have been ground to

Howard Osborn with wonderful presence

belt from the pulley. The dry pan in

activity. as orders have been issued
allowing the ships to take on more men
despite the fact that they have normal

morals and excellent physical condition
will be enlisted by applying here or at

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Several war
measures have passed the senate and,
notwithstanding their importance ,e, not
one of them elected the slightest de-
bate. Probably the most important
measure passed by the senate was the
emergency war deficiency bill, carry
ing $50, 720,9 Not more than ten
minutes were consumed in passing It,
that time being occupied in reading the
measure. Mr.. Hawley, chairman of
the military affairs committee, secured
the passage Of bill providing for the
enlistment of volunSeer brigade of
engineers and of 10000 men in the
south who are immune to yellow fever,
these enlistments to be i'm addition to
those provided for in the presidents call
for 10000 volunteers. The men will
enlist "for the war"
Two other war measures were passed,
one suspending for the duration of the
war the restrictions placed by existing
laws upon the quartermaster' depart
ment of the army in order that supplies
may be purchased without the present
formalities, and the other providing that
owners of mining claims shall not for
felt them for not performing assessment
work upon them provided they enlist for
the war.
The war revenue measure passed by
the house of representatives last Friday
was received by the senate and referred
to the finance committee for considera-
ton.
AT the opening of the senate's session
the chaplain offered devout thanks for
the glorious victory won by Commodore
Dewey's Asiatic squadron.

THE YALE SAILS.
Former Liner Puts Out to Sea Under
Sealed Orders.


NEW YORK. May 3.-The steamship
Yale, formerly the American liner Paris,
has left her dock here under sealed
orders.
When the vessel swung out from the
pier hundreds of steam vessels in the
river saluted her with their whistles
and number of small cannon in the
vicinity doomed salutes. On the bridge
of the Yale stood Captain Watkins, her
former commander, and by his side
Captain w. O. Wise of the United
States navy, her present commander.
The Yale carried full supply of stores
for an extended cruise and had 5000
tons of coal aboard.
The last distinguishing mark of the
American liner disappeared when the
name Paris was painted from her STERN
and the word Yale substituted in small
black letters. The only mark which re-
mains is the white band ON each fun.
nel-the American line funnel mark.

MANY VOLUNTEERED.
The Pennsylvania State Militia Nearly
All Enlist.

MOUNT GRETNA, Pa, May 3.-In-
spection day for the First brigade at
Camp Hastings was overshadowed by
the enrolment of volunteers for the
United States army, and as has often
been demonstrated before, the Pennsyl-
vania national guardsmen again showed
the stuff of which they are made by
nobly responding to the call to duty.
The First brigade was mustered and
out of 1850 officers and men who re-
ported on the field 2,24l volunteered to
go to war for the two years fixed by the
president.
Many of those who did not volunteer
include men of old age or known to be
unfit physically, musicians and men
whose families sorely needed their sup
port and who had been advised by their
officers not to volunteer. They num-
bered s officers and 43l men, and those
who will soon become United States
volunteers numbered 152 regimental
and company officers and 2,0S9 men.

CANTON CROOKS
Implicated in a Robbery in
Marlboro Township.
HAD TO LEAVE THE MONEY

AS The Farmer Knew Them and Called
Them BY Name-A Peculiar Case That
VIII Lead to the Arrest of Fellows
who Have Long Escaped.
Louis ]. Etter, residing in Marlboro
township near New Baltimore, called at
the police station Tuesday evening and
reported having been robbed Monday
morning. He was at work In field near
his home. All the family were absent
Two men, one short and the other tall
and heavy came walking leisurely up
the road. The short man entered tne
yard and went to the rear OF the mouse,
while the tall fellow approached MT
Etter and told him that he was looking
for team of young horses which he de
sired to purchase. While the commotion
was in progress the little man, who had
presumably gone to pump for drink
of water, was in fact tearing the house
upside down in search of valuables
Etter finally
BECAME SUSPICIOUS
and taking key from his pocket he
entered the house despite the efforts Of
the tall man, who endeayored to keeT
the attention of the farmer on the horse
question. When Etter reached his bed
room he found both doors locked on the
inside. A window pane had been broken
and the window was raised, showing the
method of entrance. Etter seized a club
and beat down the door of his bedroom
The room presented a distressing sight.
The excited man hurried to his dresser
The drawers were all open and the con
tents strewn over the floor. Cash to the
amount of $3.50 was gone. Etter swore
pretty loudly, he said, and called on the
man inside to leave his money. He says
he
KNEW THE MEN.
Then he hurried out of the house and
called his neighbor, Daniel Krichbaum,
who came to his assistance. The tall
man lad remained in the yard, calling
for his partner. Krichbaum approached
him and made a movement toward his
hip pocket. Quick as a flash the tall
stranger drewa large revolver, covered
both men, backed away, and threatening
to kill the first one who followed him,
fled down the road.
The two men then searched the house
The smaller robber had made his escape
through a rear window and was gone.
He had evidently become frightened
when Etter called him by name and the
money was left in the room, where its
owner, who had worked hard for every
cent, found it.
To the police Etter said he positively
identified the men because they had been
witnesses in a case in Justices court in
his township. He furnished good descrip'
tions and tie names Of two well known
local crooks. The police will probably
make arrests.

To Purchase a MarshIp.

CLEVELAND, May 3.--A movement is
on foot among some of the wealthy
Jews of Ohio to purchase warship and
present it to the government for use
