: CHAPTER XXI.
The Mystery Increases.

An immediate search was resolved
upon, Lots were cast for the one who
was to remain behind to guard our
property and the duty fell upon me.
Armed with the. boat stretchers, or
with clubs which they had carefully
selected and cut from the trees, His
lop departed with all my companions;
and after proceeding over the grassy
plain, they soon disappeared in the
woods that covered all the lower slope
OF the great mountain, -
I cannot describe the sensations OF
loneliness that came over me on find-
ing myself for the first time single,
alone, and left entirely to my own
reflections and resources.
The carpenters hatchet was my on
ly weapon; and armed with 1t l sat
on a grassy slope midway between the
hut and sea gazing anXiously inland,
listening for any passing sound; but
AL remained still, save the chafing OF
the waves on one hand, and the loud
buzz of tropical insect life in the thick
cts or among the long grass on the
other.
What, l asked myself, il savages
were actually lurking in the woods,
and, on seeing that all my companions
were gone, they should come tumultu-
ously down upon the hut and boat?
l would at cnce become their victim.
Or what would be my fate If my
friends fell into an ambush, or per-
ished in detail?
Could any human beings be lurking
in the two adjacent isles? was my next
surmise.
We had never seen anything alive
on them-not even wild goats or boars,
and IL there were other Inhabitants,
the steepness of the rocks, which rose
sheer from the water. and the fury
Of the surf that rolled between, for
bade any attempt to cross.
So in such painful surmises, and in
keen watching. passed the most OF
the day alone. 3.' 3
In the afternoon, one by one. all my
shipmates returned to our little head
quarters on the shore, weary and
jaded-torn by briers and brambles in
the thickets-and all had the same
tale to tell. They had seen and heard
of nothing save wild boars, wild goats
and sea birds.
Hislop now directed that one of onr
number should guard the hut by night,
and second the boat, with orders to
hail each other in this fashion,:
Boat, ahoy!"
Hut, ahoy!" ...
This was to insure watchfM look
out; but with all these precautions,
wise and necessary though they were.
our feeling of security, and even of
reliance on each other, was gone for
the time.
As these occurrences excited the i'm
agination of our companions. some Of
those who watched the hut and boat
by night asserted that when all our
party, save themselves, were safely
lodged and asleep, something like the
figure Of very tall man had appeared
for an inst~nt on the bluffs that over
hung the sea, between them and the
moonlight.
But OF this mysterious parsonage, II
such existed anywhere. except in the
syerstra!ned imagination OF lonely
midnight watcher, we could discover
no trace during the day.

and Ned Carlton were on watch, a

CAN'T DENY 1T.
When the Facts Are Brought Home TO
Us, and by our NeighbOrs too
They are Canton Facts.

A wholesome suspicion Is one Of our
characteristics as a people. In matters
worthy of investigation we want real
tangible facts regarding it. The word
of those we know, the nearby evidence
obtainable are generally what we most
desire. When we call on a neighbor,
a man Of business, at that, and say,
you have had some experience with
so-and-so, what do you think of it?"
and he answers, "just the thing,
know because have tried it." 1t goes
long way in helping our decision.
This is always the case with Doan's
Kidney Pills. Everybody who has
used them for any kidney complaint
will tell you, "They are just the
thing" Why? Because they do the
work every time and in all disordered
conditions of the kidneys. The proof
lies with your neighbors. Many have
been cured in Canton and are ready to
tell you or anyone inquiring.

HOW HE MET DEATH.
Particulars of the Killing of
"Race Horse Charlie"
at Cleveland.

Concerning the killing of Race
Horse Charlie" Bias, at Cleveland, a
Cleveland paper says:
Two hours after Bias was shot Joseph
w. Smith, colored, the proprietor of a
barber shop and billiard and pool room
at No. 450 Erie street, surrendered to the
police and was lodged in the central
station on the charge Cf murder.
Early yesterday morning Bias was in
Smiths pool room. Witnesses say he
was in a quarrelsome mood and picked
a quarrel with several men in the place,
among them being man named Fagan,
colored. He is alleged to have struck
him with a cue and to have broken the
cue He is next alleged to have picked
up another cue to strike another man
when Smith interfered. Bias, according
to the police, then picked up a pool ball
and threw 1t at Smith. The ball missed
him and Smith In turn drew a revolver.
He fired at Bias, it is alleged, just as
the latter was running through a door.
Bias closed the door behind him and the
bullet crashed through the window, but
did not take effect. Smith is alleged to
have pursued him down Erie street and
to have fired four more shots at him.
Bias fell to the pavement. Smith is said
to have looked upon the body of Bias
and then gone back to his pool room.
Smith was arraigned in police court
on the charge of second degree murder.
The case was continued to November

GRUMBLERS.
Their Cause and Cure Discussed
Ina Pleasing and Enter
tanning Manner.

DR.. p. S. Henson, of Chicago on
Friday night, entertained the ticket
holders of the Peoples Lecture course
with a discussion on "Grumblers."
The reverend gentleman was jolly and
full of anecdotes and although most of
his stories We're rather ancient. still he
pleased his hearers quite well. He
declared grumbling was universal;
everybody, almost, was addicted to it..
Men grumbled at the weather, at the
country, as the preaching and every
thing else. The worst place in the world
to grumble was at home and yet that
was where most of it was done. A
man had to be a gentleman at his place
Of business, but when he got home
he just cut loose in good shape and made
things hum.
DR.. Henson thought there were
several causes for grumbling. In some
cases it was constitutional; bad livers
could not help but make grumblers.
His recommendations for a cure were
to live right physically; avoid mince
pies and steer clear of all sorts of dys-
pepsia breeding provender; then get out
and go to work, "get a move on" as
the doctor expressed it, and finally do
something for somebody to make their
life brighter and happier. Instead of
growing at men cheer them.

RACE HORSE
CHARLIE SHOT.
Well Known Character Meets
Death In Cleveland.
LEADER OF CAKE-WALKS.
Frequently Appeared In Canton and Was
Formerly Resident of MassiIlon
Particulars of the

Race Horse Charlie" will lead no
more cake walks in Canton or Massil-
lon. He was murdered at Cleveland
last night. Probably no colored man
was better known in this section Of the
state, and he won his notoriety by being
the best cake walker in the business,
and also by appearing in police court
He has frequently been seen in Canton
and was a resident of Massillon for
some years. A Cleveland special gives
the particulars OF his death as follows:
Race Horse Charlie" notorious
colored character of the city, was MUIR
dered late last night. His right name
was Charlie Bias. His body was found
lying face downward in front of No. 45O
Erie street, at 1880 o'clock. A revolver
shot was heard only few minutes be-
head. The neighbOrhood is known as
a tough one to the police, and is fire.
Quented by undesirable colored men and
women. The murderer was unknown,
but the police believe that number of
persons at the scene when they arrived,
riAON 1DOuS Vic IL "SiS oilSnll Illebll IllSS
admitted. The police, in fact, believe
that an attempt is being made to screen
him or her, such as the case may be.
They also believe that there was a
woman in the case. A short time after
the shot was fired a young colored
woman was seen on the corner of Erie
and Prospect streets with bundle un-
der her arm. She seemed to be much
excited and was sobbing. His murderer
might have been in the pool room and
barber shop kept by colored man and
named Smith, as the large pane of glass
in the front door was smashed as if the
bullet had passed through it. The po-
lice were soon on the scene, the officer
on the beat having been attracted by
the shooting, and every effort was made
to find out the identity of the murderer
Race Horse Charley" recently came
back from serving time in the Ohio pen
itentiary for cutting to Kill. He was a
notorious man about town, and gambler
and has been mixed up in many brawls
The neighborhood in which he was shot
bears an unenviable reputation. 1t is
especially a bad one at night.
Race Horse Charley" was about 4C
years old. The body was removed to
the county morgue.

R. W. TAYLER
NOT WORRIED.
Intimates That He Does Not Elk.
pect to Retire.
SAYS THE DEMOCRATS SAID
That He Was n ot the Choice of tho Hanna
ties For Another Term In
Congress Politicians
In Town.

State Treasurer elect, I. b. Cameron,
Congressman r. w. Tayler and Ed. A.
King, clerk of election committee No.
1 at Washington, were in Canton Fri
day evening in attendance at the ban
quet given by the Elks in honor of At
torney Turner, who will leave this city
soon.
The trio of politicians came over from
Lisbon Friday afternoon and returned
Saturday morning. Each of the gentle
men expressed himself as highly pleased
at the showing made by the Republi-
can party in both Stark and Columbi-
ana counties.
The gentlemen stated that they were
in Canton for the purpose of attending
the Elks social affair and that politics
did not enter Into their visit at all.
Congressman Tayler was interrogated
in regard to the story which is going the
rounds to the effect that the Hannaites
are to drop him at the nomination for
congress from the Eighteenth district
next year.
while 1 do not wish to be quoted
on the subject" said Mr.. Tayler, II
will say that is only a little story which
emanated from some of my Democratic
friends and which does not worry me
in the least"
Congressman Tayler, who was chair
man of the election committee No. /,
at the last session of congress, said he
did not know whether he would be on
the election committee next term or not.
1t is conceded by persons in position
to know, however, that the Eighteenth
district congressman is well posted on
election laws and it is expected that
he will have something to do with that
committee at the next session Of con-
greSs.

WALKED AWAY
WITH POST.
Husband Was Present But Could
Not Detain Her.
TOOK HER LITTLE SON ALONG.
West End People Stirred Up Over the Dis
appearance of a wife-Busband
Says He VIII Try TO

Joseph W. Lyons, of 122 South Harri-
son avenue, is today mourning the loss
of his wife, Lottie e. Lyons, and his
little son, Emmett, aged 8 years.
The two missing ones are not sleeping
peacefully under the sod at any Of the
several cemeteries about the city, but
from all accounts are probably speed
ing away from Canton in q fast ex-
press If they have not already reached
their destination.
Mr.. Lyons lays the blame of the alb
sence of his family to Gordon Post, a
young man who boarded at the Lyons
residence and who, he says, was in the
company of his wife and son when they
boarded a north bound passenger train
at the Valley depot Friday afternoon.
Lyons Is an employe of the Dueber
Watch Case company, and it is claimed
he has lived happily with his wife for
the past 13 years, with never the sign
of a quarrel until Post went to live with
the family. Post is an engraver and al
so worked at the Dueber works. He
entered the Lyons household only last
August. Discomfort is said to have
risen in the mind of the wife who is II
years the junior of her husband, who is
aged So years, and there have been sew
eral disagreements between the couple
within the past few weeks.
Friday afternoon Lyons went to his
work as usual but Post remained at
home. The neighbors, who were better
acquainted with the situation than he
unsuspecting husband thought some
thing was UP and telephoned for Mr.
Lyons. He came home and found the
couple away, the wife having gone to
the Dueber avenue school to secure her
son. Post was said to be on the hunt

Lyons broke in a cellar window and
entered the house and remained there
until the pair arrived and was then in

leave him. He demonstrated with her
in vain and then tried to get possession
of his son but could not and Mrs. Ly-
