Our readers must have noticed in the

tiplied in the newspapers like mush-
rooms in a meadow and following the
plethora OF cures" the general public
have turned remarkably skeptical.
Facts are demanded, but it has become

Washington, Dec. 16-The Quay con-
test for the senatorial seat to which he
was named by Governor Stone, comes
up in committee today, when Messrs.
Edmunds and Wilson, who oppose the

length of time will be given to State
Attorney General Elkins, on behalf of
the Pennsylvania senator. Immediate
report will be made to the senate, where
the real fight will occur. Quay's friends

upon the senate itself. Even If the re-

AN AUTOMOBILE

Collect Mail In This
Vicinity.

The Cleveland postoffice officials are
trying the automobile in the collection

reporter questioned Postmaster George
3. Frease Friday morning, respecting
any action that may be taken by the
postoffice department at Washington
toward providing autos for use by the
postoffice officials in this city. Mr..
Frease said:
II have personally talked the matter
over with the department at Washing
ton, and it has been taken under con-
sideration, and as soon as a decision of
a favorable nature obtains, a trial in
this city may be made, and Canton
may hope to secure one of these wag-
ons. The roads in the country herea-
bouts are not in as good condition as
they ought to be to use automobiles, as

ment can barely get over them some

they seem to be based on information
which were gathered from close to the

GOULD WINS
WHOLE CASE.
He Will Continue to Make
Dental Chairs.
THE OLD COMPANY DEFEATED.
Judge Taylor Renders Some Important
Decisions Id Closing Up His Work
For the Present Term
OF Court,

Judge Taylor closed up his work for
this term of court on Friday evening.
Before he adjourned he handed down
decisions on every case that has come
before him during the term that had
not already been decided. The i'm
portant suit of the Canton Surgical
& Dental Chair company VS. A. p.
Gould was decided and resulted in a
complete victory for Mr.. Gould.
In this action the plaintiff company
sued to restrain Gould from making
dental chairs and also asked the court
Z to order Gould to give them a written
contract showing that they were the
only ones having legal right to manu-
hacture dental and surgical chairs un-
{ler the patents held jointly by Gould,
NIoefer and Shelton.
~ The trial Of the case was held several
Week ago. The plaintiff was represent
y IA by Attorneys Bow, Craine, McCarty
hnd Judge Thayer! Judge Fawcett and
bAustin Lynch represented Mr.. Gould.
J 1.-THE testimony showed that Gould,
hoefer and Shelton owned a lot Of
Spatents under which the plaintiff COM
pany was manufacturing the chairs and
h paying these gentlemen from SO to SO
per chair as royalty. The plaintiffs
CldlIneu Ine TlBnL 10 Indke
chairs. Gould claimed they had only
O. shop right.
Judge Taylor delivered an exhaustive
opinion on the matter. He went over
the law and the testimony fully. He
found that there was no evidence to
show that the Canton Surgical &
Dental Chair company ever had made
a contract such as would give 1t the
exclusive right to these patents and the
court therefore refused to compel Gould
to enter into any such contract as asked
for. This practically disposed of the
case, but upon the question of infringe
ment as alleged by the plaintiffs, Judge
Taylor held that even If the chair being
made by Gould were an infringement
on that made by the plaintiffs that this
court would have no jurisdiction in the
matter to grant an injunction to stop
Gould from making the goods. That
would be a matter for the federal
courts to take up.
Judge Thayer at once took exception
to the decision of the court and asked
that the bond be fixed to take the mat
ter up to the circuit court. Judge
Taylor fixed the bond at $500.
Mr. Gould can now proceed with his
new business on West Tuscarawas
street, without further embarrassment.
He claims that since he left the old
company he has secured some new pat
ents under which he is now manu-
featuring his present chair.

MECHANICS

Knowledge and skill constitutes the
difference between the good artisan
and the bungler. The good mechanic
must not only know what are the best
tools to use; he must understand the
philosophy of the forces with which
he deals, and must seek to comprehend
the natural laws which govern or regu-
late the operations connected with his
handicraft. Such knowledge makes of
the humblest workman the foreman,
the manager, the inventor, the skilled
astisan.
