FACTS ARE STUBBORN.
If Canton People Are Not Convinced
By Local Testimony They Differ
From Other People.

Our readers must have noticed in the
past two years how "cures" have multi.
piled in the newspapers like mushrooms
in a meadow and following the Pletoria
of cures the general public have turned
remarkably skeptiCal. Facts are de-
manded but it has also become essential
to know who supplies them, where are
they from, in fine whom have you cured.
Doubling Thomas will not accept at par
incredible cures on the other SIDE of the
continent. He wants it at home. "Give
us some neighbor then will believe,' is
what he asks for. Well, Doan's Kidney
Pills do this. Call it what you like, at
home, local or neighbor' Testimony, you
can always ascertain the truth of it
without leaving the city limits. Here is
a case of it: Mr.. George Geiger, Ger.
mania House, employed at the Pa. K. r.
Freight Depot, checking out goods, says:
"Before ] worked at the freight sheds
followed the carpenter trade tor 30 years
in he city. During six years | was
troubled with my kidneys, brought on
by strain | think. had to be very
careful in lifting or STOPPING or would
suffer sharp piercing twinge in the
kidneys, and along with it | had an in
convenient urinary weakness particu.

papers as a positive cure for all such de-
rangements of the kidneys and bladder.

Co.'s drug store, and after taking them

Great Rat Catchers,

According to an account in The Jour.
ual d'Hygiene, rats have become SO
abundant in Brazil that a domestic
snake, the giboya, which has about the
circumference Of the arm, is sold in the
market place in Rio Jaueiro, to be kept
in the house as a protection against ro-
dents. 1t would seem that the serpent
pursues its prey more for the pleasure
that there is in it than from sense of
hunger, since it is said it rarely eats
the rats caught Similar in its habits
and attachments to the domestic cat of
our more northern latitudes, the giboya
WILL it is said, find its way back to the
house of its master even if transported
to considerable distance.

No one can tell what day may bring
forth. And no nation nor individual
liveth to itself or himself alone. We
have gospel authority for this. We have
a duty to other people as we'll as to our.
selves, and that duty we may not shun,
but at our peril. If war be
thrust upon as, if Spain will not listen
to our demand that she cease her bloody
work in Cuba, then he ours the oppor-
tunity and hers the responsibility Sure
ly we may rightly appeal to the just
judgment of mankind; more, we may
appeal to the God of battles to help us
as we show our willingness to shed the
blood of the few that the lives of the
many may be preserved. And assured
ly that appeal will not be made in vain.

During the Cleveland administration
American war vessels were not sent to
Cuba. The present authorities however,
changed all this, and so sent the Maine
on January 25, against the advice of
Consul General Lee, for on the Oath he
telegraphed to Washington as follows:
Havana, Jan. 24.-Advise visit be
postponed Six or seven days to give last
excitement more time TO disappear.
Will see authorities and let you know.
Governor general away for two weeks.
l should know day and hour visit.
LEE.
On the next day, after consultation
with the authorities, he cabled again in
these words, sent in cipher:
Havana, Jan. 25.-At an interview au-
thorities profess to think United States
has ulterior purpose in sending ship.
Say 1t will obstruct autonomy, produce
excl ement, and most probably a dem
onstretion. Ask that 1t is not done un-
til they can get tinstructionstrom Madrid,
and say that if for friendly purposes, as
claimed, delay unimportant.
The last dispatch was received half an
hour too late to prevent the sailing of
the Maine. But both dispatches reveal
a knowledge on General Lees part of a
feeling of deep hostility among the
Spanards to the presence Of an Ameri-
can war vessel in Havana harbor, even
OH a friendly errand.

He Is Elected Mayor and School
Board Member at

The Democratic ticket was elected In
osnaburg with the exception Of mayor,
one member board of education and one
township trustee. Deputy County Clerk
Bliss will Gil the first two positions and
I. c. Slusser that of township trustee.
The mayorality fight was q hot one in
which Hon. j. B. Snyder is said to have
taken strong hand against the Repub-
lican candidate for mayor, Mr. Bliss. At
the nomination Snyder was the regular
candidate, though through efforts Of
Bliss friends the latter was introduced
and voted for as an Independent Repub-
lioan candidate and nominated. Snyder
claimed unfairness and threatened venge-
ance. 1t is claimed Snyder notified Bliss
that If he did not withdraw as a can
didate he would defeat him. Nothwith-
standing these efforts, Mr. Bliss over
came the normal Democratic plurality Of
between 80 and 40 and secured majority
of 25 votes.
Snyder's friends ar not done with the
affair yet, and say they will even matters
up at later date. They say undue ad-
vantage was taken Of Snyder's absence
at Columbus.

MYSTERY CLEARED AWAY
A CONDUCTOR TELLS HOW BENEDICT
BERTERMANN MET DEATH.
Was Killed Last Friday Evening in
the Panhandle Tunnel at Pittsburg
-CorOner's Investigation.

The mystery which has surrounded the
the death of Benedict Bertermann, of this
city, whose mangled remains were found in
the Panhandle Railway tunnel at Pitts
burg, Pa. last Monday afternoon. was last
nlgnt cleared away to a great extent by the
story told at Pittsburg by Conductor c.
Woolcott, of Richmond, Ind. who has
charge of dining car between Chicago and
Plttsburg. Wcolcott saw Bertermann's
picture in a Pittsburg paper and at once
fastened there from Chicago to tell what
he knew of the case which has daily become
more of a mystery.
According to Pittsburg dispatch. re-
ceived late last night Conductor Woolcott
made the following statement:
'Bertermann, or the person whose picture
appeared in the Pittsburg Dispatch of yes
terday, ate dinner my car coming into
Pittsburg last Friday evening. He was late
getting into the car and was the last man
10 dine. We were in the Panhandle tunnel
when he settled his bill and grabbing his
grip started out. of the ear toward the
sleepers. / thought he knew his business
so didn't tell him that the front doors of the
Pullmans were locked coming into the city
so that all passengers would come out of
one end or each car. The train was running
very last ana by the time he reached the
platform we were about at the place where
his mangled remains were picked up. AS
we came out of the tunnel a second later
/ came onto the platform but the man was
no where to be seen. l know now that he
had not time to ring the Pullman bell and
have the door unlocked for him. He UNI
doubtedly fell off there and was killed by
other passing trains.''
The Ptttsburg dispatch further says: 1.-THE
announcement of Mr.. Woolcott places sew
eral Pittsburg experts in ad-light I'm
dertaker Flannerys assistants were at the
inquest and testified that the body of Bert
ermann had not been dead eighteen hours
when they got to it-Monday evening-that
1t was yet warm. The inquest promises
to continue indefinitely. Experts will now
be called to find if it is possible for a
mangled body to retain any heat siXty-eight
hours after death as seems to be the case
mere. The Pennsylvania railroad men called
say 1t is impossible that the body could
lie so long in the tunnel without being dis
covered, as no less than twenty men with
lanterns pass through each daY'

ton to the insurgents but began a sharp
fusliiade at the tug. Bullets flew around
the tug so fast that the lookout aft came
down.
The Leyden, seeing no chance to land the
ammunition just then, picked up the men
she had landed, steamed back to the flag
ship off Havana, reporting it would be i'm
possible to land the cargo unless protected.
The gunboat Wilmington was Immediately
ordered to help the Leyden. On returning
to the landing point the Wilmington held
off shore about a mile and half, the Ley
den going in close to the beach, The tug
was signaled by the insurgents that the
coast was clear. Manned by four men,
beat then left the Leyden with ammunition
ard two large boxes of dynamite When
short distance from the beach a man aloft
on the Leyden sang out that the cavalry
were coming down the beach again in
strong force. The Leyden then signaled the
Wilmington and the latter came trffie
closer to shore, and with stern facing the
beach fired four shots from her four-inch
rapid-fre gun The cavalryfnen retreated
and the boats cargo was then landed.
While waiting to attack the cavalrymen
the Wilmington fired at a blockhouse fur
ther down the beach There were some fif-
ty Spanish regulars sitting on top of this
blockhouse watching the Leyden and the
insurgents. The Wilmingtons first shot
went wild. The twelfth and last shot was a.
bulls eye. When the smoke cleared away
the blockhouse. the men and all had dis
appeared as though swallowed up. The
Spanish colors that had flown from the
had driven them.
The Leyden and Wilmington returned to
the flagship and the former then came here.
There are dozens of holes in the tugs
smokestack from the cavalrymen's bullets.
Another dispatch from Key West says
the SpaniardS lost sixteen men killed and
800 wounded in the engagement with the
insurgents The landing party, it is added
comprised a score or more of agents of the
Cuban Junto, a United States commissioner
and General Acosta, together with cavalry
horses arms and ammunition destined for
General Acosta, former commander of cav
airy troops in the western part of Havana
province.
The announcement was made to-day at
the headquarters of the Cuban Junto in
New York, that two small parties bearing
important messages to General Gomez from
the United States and the Junta. had eff
fected a landing in Cuba. 1t was said that
the number in each party did not exceed
twelve. Particulars in regard to the land
ing of the parties were refused nor was it
stated at what points the landings were
made.
