CONSIDERING PROPERTIES.
Meeting Tonight at Which Action Will
Be Taken.
THE OLD WIKIDAL CORNER
Is Favored by Some of the EIks, who Sec
Visions OF Handsome Building with
aBig Garden on the Top--TLe
Avenue Is Also
Offered,

The Elks Of Canton will hold an i'm
portant meeting Tuesday night and an
enort Will be made to reach some defin-
lite conclusion looking toward the selec-
ton of a permanent club house. The
committee some time ago reported what
1t had discovered with reference to
available places to the trustees of the
lodge and the trustees are expected to
furnish the lodge with some recommen-
dations at this meeting. The matter
has about narrowed down to a choice
between two places. There is the "Av-
enue,, on the corner of Cleveland ave-
nue. and Fifth street, which can be DUR
chased at about $4,000. The lot alone
Is considered worth nearly that and
with the building cost $4,000. If the
Elks got it they would have their own
home. 1t would be fixed up in royaI
style and made as comfortable as any-
thing in the state. Many of the order
want the lodge to own it's own club
house and to this class the Avenue"
presents strong attractions.
on the other hand there is quite a fol-
lowing who look with longing eyes to-
ward the old Wikidal corner. In their
mlnds eye they see a handsome block
erected there by the new department
store company and up on the top floor
a splendid suite Of club rooms with an
Elk's hall and a roof garden. The To-
eaton Is fine and they argue that by
proper consideration now the lodge can
get just what it wants. It is under
stood the company which contemplates
building is willing to supply the Elks
with what they want If terms can bs
agreed upon, and this subject will also
be considered at the meeting Tuesday
night. The roof garden seems to be a.
trump card that the Wikadal corner ad-
Vocates are playing, but the Avenue"
fellows think that roof garden could
be placed on that building as well and
II 1t is purchased it is possible such a
change will be made.

in the home town of the president.
The vice president was known person.
ally to number of Canton citizens
and was here during the campaign of
1896. A number of persons had heard
or his death on the streets and a few
flags We're placed at half-mast. The

MASSILLON MATTERS.

Massillon, Nov. 21.-The Massillon
foot ball team practiced on the lot in
West street Monday evening and from
their work it is predicted their game
with the Imperials will be one sided
on Thanksgiving day. 1t behooves the
Canton boys to timber up their mus
cles and get their cues down fine for the
coming fray. Ray Markell in the prac-
tice game with the High school eleven
was chosen as soft spot for the othe.
twenty-one players to land on and as g
result Markell has leg which resem-
bles cork screw. He promises to be In
the game, however, on Thanksgiving
day.
NEW RAILROAD PROSPECT.
Massillon, Nov. 21.-Citizens generally
are pleased with the prospect of a short
car line connecting Massillon, New Phil
adelphia and Akron. News comes from
Canal Dover that Davis King, former
superintendent OF the Tuscarawas street
railway, of that town, and w. A. Gar
Ver' also of Canal Dover, are promoters
or the line which Is expected to be built
to Massillon. A large proportion of the
right OF way, 1t is said, has been secur-
ed. A. Canal Fulton business man stat
ed to News-Democrat reporter Tues
day morning that w. A. Carver was
also interested in a line extending from
Akron to Massillon, via Barberton,
Doylestown, and Canal Fulton, and that
considerable right of way had been Sc
cured.
With Cleveland, Akron and Massil-
lon connected there is no doubt that
Canton will be placed on the list. AL
lance could then be made a part of the
system IL the proposed Canton Alliance
line is built and the promoters 1t is
said will push forward to the Ohio
river, by way of Uhrichsville and
Cadiz to Wheeling. Philadelphia cap
italists, 1t is said. are interested but
others say the whole system has a
strong Everett flavor.
TO BUILD SWITCH.
Massillon, Nov. 21.-A well known
contractor stated this morning that the
w. & l.. e. railway company were
about to build a switch from Navarro
to the State ASYLUM south of Massil- |
lon and thence to the new steel rolling |
mill recently erected in this city. Lo-
cal representatives of the road say that |
they know nothing of such a project.

FRONT PORCH
CAMPAIGN.
Will Be Repeated Again in
Canton.
THE MCKINLEY COTTAGE
Is to BE Enlarged and RemodeIed--Tht
Presidential Party 1t Is Said Will
Come Here In May and Remain
During the Campaign.

Ihere Is a possibility, which is near
probability If persistent rumor af-
tects the case, that Canton will next
summer again go through the throes of
excitement which convulsed her during
PRESIDENT McKinley's last campaign.
Ihis is, OF course, provided the presi-
dent receives denomination, which is
reasonably certain. The rumor, in few
words, is that the president intends
coming to Canton on the first of Nav.
next, and remaining here throughout
the campaign, with the exception of the
possible brief intervals in which he
may be called to Washington on Off
cial business.
There is an occurrence Of the last few
days which lends color to the rumor.
within the last week the president has
summoned to Washington a Canton
architect to consult with him on ad-
dltlons and extensive remodeling of the
Mckinley cottage to make it more
suitable for the purpose of a cam
paign such as the last.
The architect in question was seen
last night and stated 1t was a fact that
he had gone to Washington last week
Tor the consultation with Mr.. Mckinley
ana ne was now preparing plans for the
work TO be begun and pushed rapidly
10 completion. He was very reticent
as to any statements made by the
president concerning his occupancy of
the cottage next summer, but on undeni-
ably good authority, the president has
decided on his next summers residence
In favor Of Canton.
What this means to the city need
hardly be enlarged upon, for every one
IN Canton knows a nd every one in the
country has heard of the demonstra-
tions OF the former campaign.
The contractor in question is II. r.
Jones. While he will not talk to news
paper representatives, he has told
friends that the president expects to be
in Canton May 1, and that he gave him
to understand that he would remain
here during the summer. That means
the old style of campaign. 1t is said
that much attention will be given to
the exterior of the building with view
or giving more porch room and fitting
the former Republican Shrine" for the
purpose intended. Matters were crowd
ed in 1896, but the simplicity of the ar
rangement was what made It attractive
and made The play that Mr.. Mckinley
was representing the plain people more
potent. The structure will take on a
new appearance and the architect has
explicit orders to have 1t ready for oc-
cupancy by May /.

and placed the rope through a pully
and safely descended.
