The United Commercial Travellers
of Ohio, will hold their annual state
convention at Toledo, Friday land Sat
urday of this week. Several thousand
of these jolly drummers attend uthese
annual gatherings, and the city whose
guests they are, is surely to be congrat-
ulated on its good fortune in securing
this annual meeting. 1t must. be real
pleasure to any city to have the jolliest
and most gentlemanly set OF men in
the state as visitors, but besides that it
brings a substantial gain in the amount
of money expended in various ways
during their stay. Canton couldEprob-
ably have this convention next year,
simply by an invitation, or at any rate,
with little effort. We have one of the
best U. G. T. organizations in the state.
Why not have the next annual conven-
tion in Canton?

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughteri
Tradition says woman must suffer" !"
and young women are so taught.
There Ia little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. II young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets II.
Many mothers hesitate TO take their
daughters to q physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself TO Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address II
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfro Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became 30 poor that I
had TO leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains In my
side and back. ] was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. I was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtper
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as I
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
good color. 1 am completely cured Of
irregularitY."

The Akron board of education and
the superintendent of schools, Thomas,
are now engaged in an ugly contro-
versy that can bring no good to the
schools. The board at meeting two
weeks ago elected the teachers for the
year, upon the recommendation of the
teachers committee and the superin-
tendent, but soon thereafter some Of
the members discovered that they had
voted for the list under a missappre-
hension and Misrepresentation At a
meeting on Tuesday night the board
voted to reconsider it's action taken
two weeks before in the hiring of
teachers. An investigation will follow
and the result will probably be the
resignation of the superintendent, Mr..
Thomas. This probably does not con-
cern the readers of the News-Democrat
only as it serves to point moral.

Admiral Dewey does probably not
look upon the Washington Home pro-
ject with favor, nor apparently do the
people. The Admiral on leaving Ma
nila said, that one of the things that
touched him most among the many ex-
pressions of warm feeling from the peo-
pie at home was the raising Of SUBJ
scription in his native state to build a
bronze statue OF him to be placed in
the state house at Montpelier opposite
the statue OF Ethan Allen. Said he:
MANY time as boy have I looked
at that statue OF Ethan Allen in won
der and admiration. The inscription
said, if l remember rightly, Surrender
in the name of the Great Jehovah and
the continental congress- The way /
feel is that no greater compliment
could be paid me than the erection of
my statue in such place in my own
village"

ATTORNEY General Monnett who /

Attorney General Monnett who has
been conducting a persistent fight
against the Standard Oil Co., was turn
nd down in his own county in last
Saturdays convention. The Hanna
erowd just scooped things, as they
nearly always do. Monnett Is said to be
very popular with the people of his
eOnnty, and his defeat is only additional
evidence that nothing counts or can
win against Hannaism. There are a
number of defeated candidates in Stark
oOunty who can attest to this.

sHERIFFs BELD RESPONSIBLE.

The responsibility of sheriffs, for the
safe keeping of prisoners placed In their
custody, is set forth in recent decis-
ion by United States Judge Baker, in
an Indiana lynching case, in which the
family of the victim brought suit
against the sheriff for $4,000 damages
on the grounds that the prisoner was
in his custody. Judge Baker held for
the plaintiff and in rendering his de-
cision said:
II the law imposes a duty of care In
respect to animals and goods which he
has taken into his possession by virtue
of his office, why should not the law
impose the duty of care upon him In re-
spect to human beings who are in his
custody by virtue Of his Officer Is a
helpless prisoner, In the custody OF q
sheriff, less entitled to his care than a
bale OF goods or dumb beast? The
law is not subject to any such reproach.
The Toledo Blade, in commenting on
this decision, says:
Judge Bakers decision Is based on
common sense, and we have no doubt
the supreme court OF the United States
will uphold it, should the case be car
ried up.
The principle OF this decision affects
also the safe-keeping of prisoners. II
the sheriff Is responsible for allowing
one to be taken from the Jail by force,
why is he not responsible to the coun-
ty for allowing prisoners to escape
from the Jail by their own efforts.
Probably there would be fewer jail
deliveries were sheriffs made to pay a
good round sum for every prisoner who
escapes. There would be more watch.
fulness by the sheriff's subordinates.
and the opportunity to pick locks, tear
iron bars and go climbing up chimneys,
for instance, would be severely cur
tailed.
The Blades conception OF law and
common sense is no doubt right. There
is too frequently, a tendency on the
part of sheriffs, to looseness in the con-
duct of the county Jail, Stark county
If the number of jail deliveries can be
taken as an Indication, not being an
exception.

It's good, strong ticket the Repub-
licans OF Stark county have selected,
with men particularly fit for the places
their party has chosen them for.-Re-

So, the men who were nominated
were selected because OF their especial
fitness for the places, and those who
were defeated we're not selected be-
cause of their unfitness for the places
Well, that's quite complimentary to
Mr.. Turner, DR.. Moulton, Mr.. HOLES
ct al. But we believed reasons, other
than their unfitness, too, can be given
for the defeat of these gentlemen.

WILL JONES WIN OUT?

Can John P. Jones be elected dele
gate to the state convention, from
Stark county, at the Republican coun.
ty convention to be held Saturday. The
Hanna crowd say with great emphasis,
"No." Since the trouncing given Thos.
F. Turner by the Hanna-Day element
of the party, the Hannaites have be-
come notoriously bold, and make no
efforu now, 20 conceal their intentions
of "wiping off the earth" for all time to
come, the John P. Jones and Thomas
F. Turner following. AS their first
triumph in this direction, they point to
the defeat of DR.. Moulton and Thomas
F. Turner at the last Satur-
days election. Their second vic.
tory they hope to win in
the defeat of Jones in the county con-
vention, which will elect the delegates
to the state convention. The Hanna
ties are determined in their, course, and
will prevent Jones or any of his follow
ers, from going to the state convention
as delegates from Stark, even to the
extent of abrogating the rules of the
committee, if necessary, to accomplish
their purpose. That Jones and his dis
ciples will yield without a fight is
hardly probable, but that they have
show to win, in the light of things, is
hardly possible.

Nellis, superintendent of the United
States Indian school at Toledo, from re-
straining this girl, who was married,
according to the Indian custom, October
%. 1899 1t is claimed by the Indians
that she is IS years old and that by the
ruse of subpoenaing her and her hus-
band as witnesses at the district court
in Toledo the agent, Malin, by virtue of
d guardianship created in December,
1895 took forcible possession of the girl
and confined her in a room in the In
dian school in Toledo. Getting no relief
from the governor, who is powerless to
act. Wilcox consulted Judge 3Shiras. of
the United States court here yesterday
and prepared petition for writ OF
habeas corpus to get the young Indian
wife away from the school. Judse
shiras told him to file it at Cedar Rap
ids at once and he-will consider II there.
1T is claimed in the petition thai the
district court had no Jurisdiction over
the Indians. because they are MAINTAIN
ing their tribal relations and are Wafds
Of the nation, not amenao!e TO state
courts. that If any such authority eS-
isted in the state court 1t ceased wnen
the girl was married, and that the dls-
trict court was deceived in appointing
he guardian by not being informed
that the girl had parents and next OF
kin among her tribe and people who
would care. for and protect and provide
for her. and that she was not deserted
or neglected.
