MEMORIAL ADOPTED
By Canton Post, G. A. R., Con-
cerning the Death of Philip
Burkhardt.
Canton, O., Jan. 10, 1900.


To the Commander of Canton Post,
No. 25, Dept, o., G.. A. r.
Again this post has been called upon
fora detail to the ever increasing ranks
of the retired list, and we have followed
brave and true hearted defender Of
the Republic to his final resting place.
Comrade Philip Burkhardt, a native
Of Bavaria, placed himself under the
protection of the Flag of Liberty in
early youth. On May q, 1861, he seal
ed his allegience to the principles of
freedom which 1t represents, by enlist
ing as q private soldier in Company I,
of the Ninth regiment Of Ohio Volun-
teer Infantry. From that day until June
7, 1864, he followed that flag through
heat and cold, sunshine and storm, in
skirmish and battle, and endured all
the hardships, privations and dangers
incident to that arduous service, with
the fortitude and courage of a true
hero. He was one of the bravest of
that great host of brave men, whose
valor and endurance brought victory
to our arms and established forever
the integrity and unity of the Republic,
and preserved the Union undivided and
glorious. In private life, he was an
exemplary citizen, kind and indulgent
husband and father, and a true, warm
hearted friend and comrade. Therefore,
Resolved, that by the death of Com
rade Philip Burkhardt this Post has
for detail of the ever-increasing ranks
lost a loyal and worthy comrade, the
Nation has lost valuable citizen and
a true hearted defender, and his i'm
mediate family and associates have
lost a worthy friend, kind and indul-
gent father and companion.
Resolved, we will forever cherish and
hold sacred his memory, and emulate
his many virtues as a soldier a comrade
and a citizen
Resolved, that we extend to his
bereaved widow and family our fratern-
al sympathy and coincidence and invoke
in their behalf the sustaining influence
of Christian faith and hope in this dark
hour of grief and affiiction.
Resolved, that we recommend that
this memorial be spread upon our
records, that copy be furnished to the
family of our departed Comrade, and
that the city press be requested to pub
lish it in the daily papers.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. CLARK,

Mrs. Leslie Carter, probably the most
prominent actress in America, says the
following of Pe-ru-na:
"Pe-ru-na is sure to prevent a cold.
II will stop cough before it be-
comes settled. It cures all catarrhal
affections like magic. No money could
tempt me to be without this remedy for
even day. 1t is just the remedy that
all women need, especially such women
that are exposed to the vicissitudes Of
climate, as / am.
az never neglect an opportunity to
recommend this remedy to my friends.
1t is Americas greatest remedy for
Americas greatest enemy, catarrh and
catarrhal affections. 1 would not have
catarrh for a million dollars, and as long
as have Pe-ru-na at hand to promptly
check the slightest symptoms of its
approach, feel perfectly safe from this
disease" N. Leslie Carter.
Mrs. M. Dooley, Mount Airy, Haber-
sham county, Ga, in a recent letter SAYS

catarrh of the stomach and pelvic or

him, and he readily advised me. !

JONES GOES EAST.
Buys Three Tickets and Leaves
the City---His Place
Closed.

The place of business Of Thomas
Jones, at 129 West Seventh street, was
closed the latter part Of last week, and
after disposing of his stock Of goods
Mr.. Jones has gone to New York. 1t
appears that James Halle, OF Youngs-
town, had a mortgage on the fixtures
in the place, said to be valued at 1900.
Jones, it is alleged, was unable to pay
off this mortgage, and Halle had the
same foreclosed. Jones disposed Of his
stock to a citizen and turned over the
fixtures to Mr.. Hallies representative,
who had it stored away. 1t is under
stood that Jones called at the Pennsyl-
vania depot Monday night and pur-
chased three tickets to New York city
1t will be remembered that a few
months ago a woman came to this city
who alleged that she was the wife Of
Jones. Jones at that time had made a
visit to England, and shortly after his
return home he was followed by the
strange woman. 1t appears that when
she called at his apartments above the
saloon, in West Seventh street, she dis
covered another woman in the place,
and she raised disturbance. She was
placed under arrest, and when arraign-
ed before the mayor stated that she
came direct from England here to join
her husband, but that she found him
living with another woman whom he
designated as his wife. She was as
sessed a heavy fine and released, and
the next day Jones was arrested and
locked up in the city prison on a charge
of disorderly conduct. He paid the fine
assessed against him and secured his
release. 1t appears that the English
woman then made up with Jones and
recently nothing of a disturbing nature
has been learned from the family. 1t
is not known whether the tickets he
purchased were for himself and both
women.

JENKINS THROWS GREINER
And BenOt Got Decision Over
oliver at the ArmOry
Last Night.
Special to News-Democrat.

special TO NeWS-DennOCFdI.
Massillon, Jan. 16.-Tom Jenkins, the
Cleveland wrestler came to this city
Monday and succeeded in throwing
Peter Greiner four times in an hour thus
securing a purse hung up by the West
Side athletic club. 1t did not take Jen-
kins a whole hour to do the business.
In fact it took him considerably less
than one-half hour. Greiner had train
ed faithfully and was in excellent con-
dition but the champion catch as catch
can man of the world was at his own
game and the local man was easy
picking.
Before the big bout Frank Benot and
James e. oliver had a tustle on the
mat. Otto Cleaver was billed as the
opponent of Benot but Mr.. CleaVer was
unavoidably detained and oliver went
on instead. Benot threw oliver and
then oliver threw Benot. 1t was horse
and horse when time was called and the
the third bout would have been fast but
oliver became tired and threw himself
to get out of a little work.
In the big bout Jenkins was cared
for by Di Jones. John Miller and
Charles Manweilar looked after
Greiner. Bob Featheringham was
referee. Ed Creedon held the watch
for Jenkins and John Moylan aided in
the same capacity for Greiner.
The first fall came in four minutes.
Jenkins did it. 1t took him five minutes
to land Greiner on his back the second
time and seven minutes the third.
Then he took things easy and Greiner
was landed safe within the limit.
Greiner was game and stuck to his task
but 1t was too hard for an ordinary
mortal.
The crowd in the arrmory where the
bouts occurred was small.

facts about Majors Cement
The multitudeS who use this standard ar
ticle know that it is many hundred per cent
better than other cements for which similar
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best material ever discover
ed and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells
us that one of the elements of his cement

are nothing more than SXteen-cent glue.

cases. altered slightly in color and odor by
the addition of cheap and useless materials.
Major IS cement retailS at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when deal
er tries to sell substitute you can depend
upon it that that his only object is to make
a large profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much
as any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene-
fit of Mr.. Majors advertising, which now
