HE LIVES NEAR
NEW BERLIN.
Joseph Kline Receivers Con-
SciOusnesS Friday Morning
AND TELLS WHERE HE LIVES.
Has Not Given Full Account of How the
Accident Happened--T Trainmen
Can Throw No Light on the
Question.

Joseph Kline, the young man who was
found lying upon the side of the Penn
sylvania track at Stark Siding, Thurs
day noon, recovered consciousness at
the Aultman hospital this, Friday,
morning, and he stated that his home
lies about five miles north of this city
and about two or three miles from New
Berlin.
Kline had a lucid moment Thursday
afternoon when he was able to state his
name but he relapsed into unconscious
ness and remained in that condition
until Friday morning. The injury to
his head is very severe one, but the
attending physician, s. B. Post, enter
tains hope for the recovery of Kline if
no complications set in.
Kline stated to the doctor that his full
name is Joseph " Kline, and that ].
B. Zettler, of this city, is an uncle. He
also said that he had q grandfather
residing along the Pennsylvania rail-
way just north of the overhead bridge
along that railway, some distance east
of Stark Siding. He stated that he left
his grandfathers place Thursday morn
ing to come to this city for some grocer
les, and that he stopped at Stark Sid
ing, where he was in the habit of as
sisting the engineer at the water tower.
He was unable to say how the accident
occurred to him. A member of the
Zettler family was summoned to the
hospital and Kline was identified
Surgeon Post, of the Pennsylvania
railway company made a thorough
examination Of the mans condition.
He discovered, in addition to the wound
in his head, that one knee had been Sc
verely injured. Post stated that this
may have occurred by being thrown or
scraped upon the hard ground or some
hard substance.
The relatives have been notified and
they will call on Kline at the hospital.
AS stated, his father, John Kline, re-
sides near New Berlin, but it appears
Joseph had been visiting with his grand
father. He does not know if train
struck him or not, but the railroad men
believe this to be the case.

Columbus, Jan. 27.--On the bill to
make the pay of women equal that of
men the Stark county members, Metz
gar and Pollock, voted aye. Mr.. Sny-
der's vote was not recorded.
The Stark county delegation made
another assault upon the works of Ad-
jutant General Gyger last evening in
behalf of the appointment of DR.. c. M.
Shafer, of Canal Fulton, for clerkship
in his office. Today the adjutant gen.
eral announced the appointment of Col
owen ]. Hopkins, of Toledo, and Ross
Shaw, of Clark county, to two of the
five clerkships at his disposal, which
leaves but three of the places untitled.
Gen. Gyger showed the News Democrat
correspondent the list of applicants for
those clerkships, and since the appoint
ment of two today there are just an
even hundred from which to fill those
three vacancies: so that it will be seen
that DR.. Shafers chances are growing
small by degrees and beautifully less.

delegation in the general assembly

gar has been here with her husband
there has been no stellar attraction to
draw him hence.
Rumors having been set affoat, which
have been printed in some outside pa
pers, to the effect that charges had
been filed with Gov. Nash in regard to
the management of the Massillon hos
pital, Governor Nash today denied the

far no charges have been filed with
him.

CAN'T FIND MILLER,
Franklin Syndicate Man Has
Eluded His Pursuers
Handsomely.

Since Miller. of the Franklyn syndi-
cate, fleeced a large number of people,
among whom were many Cantonians,
and then closed up shop and decamped,
nothing has been heard from him. He
has been tracked 20 various places, but
all traces of him were successfully lost.
At last it was reported that the police
of Canada knew where he was, and an
effort has been made to get them to as
sist in his capture. A special from Mon
treal says that this belief is without
foundation. The Canadian police say
they know nothing about him.

WANT JURISDICTION.
Mayors and Justices OF the
Peace Propose a New
State Law.

During the years 1886 and 1890 the
state legislature adopted two sections
of the state laws respecting penalties
attached to parents, guardians or trus-
tees having in charge children under
age, who are convicted of abusing, tor
menting or improperly treating them.
Final jurisdiction after conviction in
the higher courts, and a magistrate,
mayor or police judge, did not have final
jurisdiction in such cases, they having
to either discharge the convicted per-
sons or bind them over to court upon
conviction, or they had to waive jury
under the jurisdiction of the magistrate,
mayor or police Judge. Mayor Robert
son has prepared two acts or bills re-
pealing both the sections heretofore
passed by the legislature, which will
give magistrates and police judges final
jurisdiction in such cases without hav-
ing to bind the convicted person over to
court upon bond. Heretofore when a
person was placed under bond, under
the one section, no provision was made
for the keeping Of the child or its main
tenance. This new bill will amend the
sections so as to give the lower courts
final jurisdiction and thereby save the
time and at the same time provide
means for taking care of the party left
unprovlded for by the accused. The
mayor will hand both bills to Repre-
sentative Snyder when he returns to
Columbus and will request him to

READ, MARK, LEARN,
Some Pertinent Questions That Can All
BE Ans wered With One Reply,

Why is it that in Canton and its sub
urbs, with a combined population Of
$1,000, there is only one medical prep
aration which gives statements from
residents to back up it's representa-
tions? Why is it that Doans Kidney
Pills do this in Canton, as we'll as in
every other city and town of any i'm
portance in the Union? Why is it that
there are advertised in every newspa-
per dozen remedies and only one can
supply local proof, local endorsements
of it's claim? The solution is
simple. Only one remedy, has
the curing and the staying
kinds of gigantic yet futile eff
forts to get local proof, but the at
tempt ends in producing a statement
or two from places that as far as Can
ton is concerned might as well be in
the moon. Here is Canton proof
which backs up the merits Of Doan's
Kidney Pills:
Mr.. ]. ]. Combs, of No. 247 East
Fourth St., says: my back troubled
me more or less for several years. but
would put on a magnetic plaster and
would be relieved for the time being.
On one occasion ] attempted to lift a
step at the front of the house with the
intention of Strengthening 1t and in do
ing so gave my back severe strain,
and, although resorted to all my old
time remedies, they failed to do the
slightest good, ,and II kept getting worse
and worse. 1 had such severe pains
through my back and sides that I could
not take a long breath and could not
lie at night for any length of time. In
fact I could scarcely lie at all unless
on the fiat of my back. Liniments,
plasters or rubbing or anything else
did me no good until my attention was
attracted to Doan's Kidney Pills, and
procured a box at Durbin, Wright e.
Co.'s drug store / had only taken a
few doses when felt better and In a
short time the pain was all removed,
and my back felt strong and we'll. ]

What Killed Him I?

Canal Dover Reporter: Down at
Redwood there has been considerable
excitement over the death of 15-year-
old boy who was slapped in the face
by the teacher, then shaken by the back
of the neck and thrown on the floor.
1t was ten days before he complained,
but then he gradually failed and died.
The teacher was much blamed, and
the board of education passed resolu-
tions prohibiting such punishment in
the future. The coroner's inquest ex-
onerated the teacher, and said that the
boy died of "diplococcus interaceltula-
rus meningitis"

Mr.. Snyder Gets a Bill For the
Jury Commissioners.
LEGISLATORS ENTERTAINED
By a Veteran OHicIal OF the House OF Rep
resentatives--state Capital Gossip
From CorrespOn-
dent.
Special to News-Democrat.


Columbus, Jan. 25.--A bill was sent to
Speaker Fro TEN Snyder today from
Canton for introduction in the house,
which, if enacted into law, will provide
that the jury commissioners of Stark
county shall be allowed six days annu-
ally in which to do their work, instead OF
three days, and be paid for the time at
the rate of $500 per day, instead Of three
DAYS. as under the present law. The
bill is in the nature of an amendment
to section 5l62-4 of the revised statutes.
Senator Wilhelm has a bill which he
will introduce authorizing the employ
ment of q stenographer by the Carroll
county common pleas court, at an an
nual salary of $500. The Carroll county
court has not heretofore employed a
stenographer regularly. The petition
for the bill is signed by members Of the
Carroll county bar.
The trustees of the MassilOn state
hospital figure that they will want
about $40 900 from the state this year
for enlargement and improvements
OF this amount $4,000 will be asked for
the construction of an assembly hall and
the remainder for an infirmary and ad-
ditional cottages. The trustees will ask
that the above sum be named for the
benefit of the institution in the general
Appropriation bill. The house finance
committee, however, has decided to visit
Massllon hospital before deciding upon
the appropriation for the institution.
The old question of extravaganza in
connection with the institution has been
reOpened. The creation of a deficiency
of $4,000 without consulting the emer-
gency board, is criticised, and the house
finance committee, it is declared, has
decided to act very guardedly in rec
Ommending that appropriation for the
institution this year
Mr. Pollock has in preparation and
will present a bill providing that the di-
rectors of the Canton work house shall
pay current bills monthly instead of
