FOCKLER HELD
HIS JUBILEE.
Made a Sensational Address to
His Followers.
ROASTED THE CITY OFFICIALS
And Gave warn'ng to His People to Per-
init No Policeman or Health
Officer to Ever Darken
Their Doors.

Rev. Cyrus B. Fockler late of Canton,
had big jubilee at zion" Wednesday
night. Zion is located in Mansfield.
When the issue was yet on Rev. Fock-
Ter confidently asserted to the News
Democrat that the Mansfield police
ran up against the rock Of Christ Jesus
when they bucked up against zion,"
and he talked at the jubilee on that
line. The Mansfield Shield says:
A fair sized audience was present
Wednesday evening at Zion Tabernacle
to attend the jubilee over the acquittal
of Rev. Cyrus Fockler on the charge
of interfering with the authorities in
the case of the Calver child. A member
of the Chicago Zion was present, and
delivered few opening remarks, after
which Fockler delivered his story of his
so-called persecution by the city au-
thorities.
Fockler consumed about an hour and
a half in celebrating on his connection
with the case which resulted in his i'm
prisonment. He scathingly denounced
the city authorities, doctors, ministers
of the gospel and particularly directed
his attack upon the newspapers. Fock-
Ter read number Of newspaper adver-
tisements and commented upon them
strongly. Fookler scored Mayor Brown,
Health officer Craig and Prosecutor
Bowers for their part in the Calver
case.
Fockler also described a cartoon
which he received in which several of
the authorities were depicted.
In conclusion he advised his follow
ers never to allow a police officer or
health officer across their threshold un-
less he was armed with the necessary
papers.
Fockler said that he was content to let
the matter drop, although he could sue
and obtain heavy damages from the
county for his wrongful incarceration,
although If such thing happened
again the county would not escape so
lightly. Fockler in the course Of his
Grafton denounced all drugs as poison.
After Fockler had concluded, Calver,
the father of the child which was treat
ed by Fockler, testified that he was
obliged to submit to the authorities in
their treatment of his child but that
the child seemed to grow worse as soon
as the doctor arrived.

A STATEMENT
From a Prominent Physician

About the Treatment of Kidney Disorders.
. DR.. Leopold says that nfne-tenths OF
the human ailments can be traced di-
rectly to a disordered condition Of the
kidneys. The kidneys are the filters OF
the entire system; II they become clog
ged or in any way do not perform
their natural functions, the element
reaching the kidneys through some
other channel Immediately returns to
that channel which Is unnatural and
causes trouble. A slight backache
nervousness and restlessness should
not be left to continues; a mild kidney
remedy should at once be administered
and the best combination OF remedies
is found in Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
They act gently, though quickly, re-
and urine and set the system in proper
working condition.
Mr.. owen Fagan. Wooster street
Rowling Green. Ohio, says: IT was
greatly troubled with a severe pair
across the small of my back and right
hip. / was not able to attend to my
work. About this time heard OF Nor.
rows Kid-ne-oids and decided to giv,
them a trial. I took them according L
directions and Kid-ne-oids cured me II
remarkably" short time"

His BOndSman Will Have
to Settle.

arrested on the charge of forgery, has
jumped his bail and skipped. He was
charged with forging a note and

efforts were at once instituted to get
him out. Max Rudner finally went
bail for 5000 and Harris was freed. His
trial was set for Friday of this week
before Justice Reigner. Harris has

failed to appear Friday and his bond
became forfeited. Rudner will have to
pay the 5000.

HOLIDAY
MARRIAGES
Are. Becoming More Popular in
Stark County Every Year.
JUNE Is BEING BEATEN
AS a Marriage Month by November and
December---TotaI for the Year VIII
Exceed the Last Four Years
by over Two Hundred.

The present year will be big year in
the marriage license court of Stark
county. 1t is said to be an indication of
good times when there are great num-
Der of marriages and large number of
new homes started. Whether this is
SO or not, the fact remains that there
are already more marriage licenses is
sued this year than were issued during
the entire twelve months of any year
since 1892 The number issued up until
noon on Thursday was 500 and the en-
tire holiday season is yet to come.
In certain circles, June, the month of
roses. is described as the month of
weddings, but November and December
are fast passing June as the month for
entering upon a life of connubial bliss
From now until after Thanksgiving the
marriage license clerk will be very busy
and the number of permits issued daily
will grow larger until Thanksgiving.
After that date there will be a lull for
week or so and then another rush will
set in which will last until after the
new year.
So far this month there have been 60
permits granted. Before the month is
out the number will reach 100 if it does
not go beyond. Last year there were
Sc licenses issued for November; in 1897,
SO; in 1896, 76.
Thanksgiving of 1898 holds the record
for the greatest number of licenses is
sued in one day. On November %, of
last year, an even two dozen of Stark
county young couples took out licenses
to enter the marriage relation. 1t is eX-
pected that this number will be beaten
this year.
For some reason Thanksgiving Day
is becoming the popular wedding day.
It's popularity is also growing every
year. Each succeeding year sees more
marriages solemnized on the national
day of Thanksgiving and the happy
young couple eat their turkey with an
added blessing to be thankful for and
the turkey does service for two feasts.
December is always good for a hun
dred weddings and this year it will
reach that mark if it does not pass it,
Yes" said Deputy Probate Judge
Aungst, to a News-Democrat reporter
there is a big increase in the marriage
business this year. The total for the
year will run over S00 This will be
gain of 200 over last year and larger
gain than that over the years Of '94, '95,
80 and '97. The marriage license desk
is good place to tell whether times
are good or not. We always have a big
holiday trade, but unlike the merchants
of the city, we don't offer any holiday
bargains. Our prices are fixed by the
statute and we don't have any bargain
counters. OF course each young man
thinks he is getting the only girl and
our fee is looked upon as small affair.
We occasionally have young man who
has not money enough to pay for the
license but that happens very seldom.
1 only remember of few instances in
my service in the office"

CAN'T DISPUTE THIS.
Because 1t Is Local Transaction and
the Citizen is ON the Spot to
Confirm It.

The reader of this must concede two
important points, first what follows
having taken place In Canton, can cas-
lily be investigated and proved to be
true: Second-there is a vast differ
ence between opinions publicly ex-
pressed by a resident OF Canton in Cam
ton local papers and the opinions daily
met with in the same papers columns
which were originally drafted in Maine
or Montana. Read this and acknowl-
edge both facts.

The Southern Girl.

In concluding an editorial inspired
by Southern girls regret that she
can not 60 to college, Edwark Box, in
the April Ladies' Home Journal, has
this to say OF the girls of the South
land: "The Southern girl is surroun-
ded by life far truer and more con-
ducive to self-development than girls
living in other sections, because social
conditions are more normal. Her life
is healt Ter hecause it is saner, and h r
r,ind. by reason Of it, is clearer aud
most constantly at rest. The rush Of
life of the North and West is not so
stimulating as many Southern girls
suppose On the contrary, 1t wears
women out as often as 1t develops
them. In o part Of onr countsy do
women look younger at maturity than
in the South. To the Southern girl,
too, Nature blooms in profusion as
she does nowhere else. The natural
history which the Northern girl must
get out of books the Southern girl gets
direct from Natures own hand. She
is born of soil as rich and colorfui in
romantic history as is the literature OF
Spain. This she receives as natural
heritage. Her parents are, and her
ancestors were, among the best types
of American womanhood. She hears
but one language spoken, and that is
her own. Ii there is the introduction
Of another tongue it is French, and
with these two she can travel the world
over and never be at ii disadvantage.
The religion which she learns from her
mother is the highest and best be-
cause it is untainted with modern
revelations. The truest friend and
safest teacher IN highest living a girl
can have is her mother, and in the
South mothers have way OF finding
time for their daughters and being
companions to them. The Southern
father is fond OF his children, and
proves 1t by his presence at the do
nestle hearth after his days business
is over"
