MRS. GREEN'S SUIT.
Was Decided in Favor Of
the City By Judge
TaylOr.

TheNcity of Canton has again been vic
torious in the courts and 1t is pretty well
established that no damages can be coll
lected from the city on account of the
flooding OF Walnut street. The case OF
Sarah Green vs Canton for 81 900 dam
ages came before Judge Taylor Monday
afternoon on demurrer to the petition.
Judge Albaugh represented Mrs. Green
City Solicitor Smith spoke for the city.
He claimed the city was not liable for
damages because the sewer was not
large enough to carry off all the water.
Judge Taylor held that to be the law
and sustained the demurrer. This puts
the case out OF court.

Highly Recommends Our New Specialist. !.
DIR. Schram, and His New Treatment
to the People OF Canton and Vicinity.

To suffer for years with that loath-
some disease, catarrh, with all it's dis
gusting and annoying symptoms, is
enough to make any one tire of life and
become almost hopeless. Such was my
case: "For years have been a sufferer
from catarrh, shortness of breath and
deafness. In the morning would have
to hawk and cough for hours. The tight
ness in my chest seemed to increase;
could not expectorate any phlegm with
out great difficulty; gradually grew
more deaf and was so weak that with
the least exertion grew almost breath
less, and was miserable generally.
Hearing of the wonderful work of the
great specialist, DR.. Schram, / went
to him and shall never regret it, for he
has made wonderful Improvement in
my case already. My head is much
clearer; breathe freer than have for
years; my cough is gradually leaving
me; my chest is much better and feel
like different man. I gladly recon-
mend DR.. Schram and his NEW TREAT

GRAVE PROBLEMS CONFRONT US.
Presented to this congress are great
opportunities. With them come great
responsibilities. The power confided to
us increases the weight of our obliga-
tions to the people, and we must be
profoundly sensible to them as we con-
template the new and grave problems
which confront us. Aiming only at the
public good we cannot err. A right
Interpretation of the peoples will and of
duty cannot fail to insure wise meas-
ures for the welfare of the islands
which have come under the authority
of the United States and inure to the
common interest and lasting honor of
our country. Never has this nation had
more abundant cause than during the
past year for thankfulness to God for
manifold blessings and mercies, for
which we make reverent acknowledge
ment.

Special to News-Democrat.

Special to News-Democrat.
Massillon, Dec. 5.-One year ago Rev.
Father Kuhn, for years pastor of ST..
Marys Catholic church passed to his
reward in the other world. Father
Kuhn was almost idolized by his con-
gregation and his brethren of the cloth
in this entire diocese recognized in him
a model man and minister. When
Father Kuhn died the city wept and
there was deep sorrow in all parts the
state where his kindly disposition and
beautiful character had endeared him
to all who came within the influence
of his charming personality.
This mornig at $3.50 o'clock high mass
was observed in st. Mary's church in
respect of the memory of the departed
priest. Beautiful music was sung by
the choir under the direction of Organ
list Paul. Rev Father Kaempker, pastor
of the church., was assisted in the cell
ebration of the mass by dozen priests
from surrounding cities including
Father Victor Arnould, of st. Peters
church, Father Trieber, of the Church
of the Immaculate Conception, and
Father Mcguire, of St. Johns church.
of Canton. The huge stone church in
Cherry street was filled with a congre-
gait n which gathered to pay respect
to the memory of their departed pastor.

AN ELECTRIC
LIGHT PLANT.
Alliance Council Decides to In
terrogate the New Company.
UNLESS SATISFACTORILY REPLY
A Popular Vote Will Undoubtedly Decide
In Favor of Municipal
Ownership.

Special to Democrat.
Alliance, Dec. 5.-The question of
erecting an electric light plant for this
city was brought up at the meeting of
the city council last night and after a
lengthy discussion was referred to a
committee consisting OF w. H. Morgan,
A. B. Love and w. w. ellison. 1t will
be their duty not only to get estimates
on the cost of a new plant but also to
see what terms can be made with the
company which succeeded the Mutual
Light company on December 1, and with
whom the contract expires next March.
Unless marked concessions are made
over the present contract, the question
will be submitted to vote and 1t is q
foregone conclusion that in that case
1t will be decided to build new plant.
Council also passed an ordinance to
abolish the office of city marshal and
and passed another ordinance creating
the office Of chief Of police. to be filled
by appointment of the mayor upon con-
firmation of council. The object in this
was to get head Of the police depart
ment and to make the holder of the
office subject to removal at any time
council shall deem his removal to be to
the best interests of the city.

HAWAWIIAN ISLANDS.

Some embarrassment in administration
has occurred by reason of the peculiar
status which the Hawaiian islands at
present occupy under the joint resolu-
ton of annexation approved, July Z,
1898.
While by that resolution the public of
Hawaii, as an Independent nation, was
eXtinguished, it's separate sovereignty
destroyedS and it's property and possess
sions vested in the U. S., yet COM
plete establishment for it's govern
ment under our system was not effected.
While the municipal laws of the islands
not enacted for the fulfillment Of
treaties and not consistent with the
joint resolution or contrary to the con-
stitution of the u. S. or any of it's
treaties, remained in force, but these
laws relate only to the social and
internal affairs of the islands, and do
not touch many subjects of importance,
which are of broader national charac-
ter. For example, the Hawiian republic
was divested of all title to the public
lands in the islands and is not only
unable to dispose of lands to settlers
desiring to take up homestead sites,
but Is without power to give complete
title in cases where lands have been
entered upon under lease or other con-
ditions which carry with them the right
to the purchaser, leasee or settler, to
have full title granted to him upon
compliance to the conditions prescribed
by law or by his particular agreement
of entry.
Questions of doubt and difficulty have
also arisen with reference to the coll
lection of tonnage tax on vessels com
ing from Hawaii ports with reference
TO the status of Chinese in the islands,
their entrance and exit therefrom; as
to patents and copyrights; as to the
register of vessels under the ,naviga-
tion laws; as to the necessity of hold
ing elections in accordance with the
provisions of the Hawiian statutes for
the choice of various officers, and as to
several other matters of detail touching
the interests both of the islands and of
the federal government.
By the resolution of annexation, the
president was directed 20 appoint five
commissioners to recommend to con-
gress such legislation concerning the
islands as they should deem necessary
or proper These commissioners were
duly appointed and after a careful in
Vestigation and study of the system of
laWs ana government prevailing in the
islands, and of the conditions existing
there, they prepared a bill TO provide a
government under the title of "The Ter
ritory of Hawaii" The report of the
commission with the bill which they
prepared, was transmitted by me TO
congress on Dec. Q. 1898. but the bill
still awaits final action.
The people OF those islands are en-
titled to the benefits ind privileges of
our constitution. but in the absence of
any act of congress providing for feder-
al courts in the islands. and for a pro-
ceedure by which appeals. writs of error
and other judicial proceeding necessary
for the enforcement OF civil right say
be prosecuted. they are poweIless to
