MassillOn, Jan. ia large bank barn,
one of the finest in this end of the coun-
ty, located on the McCue farm north Of
the city, burned to the ground Thursday
night, entailing a loss of several thou
sand dollars. The neighbors aroused
by the ringing of the farm bell, were
powerless to prevent the complete de-
struction of the barn. Tons of hay and
bins filled with grain were burned and
seven horses perished, the fire spread
ing with such rapidity that they could
not be saved. A number of hogs were
also burned.
MARRIED THE GIRL.
Massillon, Jan. ia young woman
named Krider appeared before Mayor
Wise a few days ago and filed charges
against Oliver Hayes, railway man,
formerly a well-known Massillon bar
ber. The affidavit charges Hayes with
failing to maintain his six years old
child. He was arrested in Toledo by
officer Getz and was arraigned before
Mayor Wise Thursday evening. The
case developed that the law had not
been strictly observed in the relations Of
the couple years ago They had never
taken the marital vows prescribed by
the conventions of the age before priest
or magistrate, and they had loved too
well. Hayes when arraigned said he
was willing to marry the young woman
and properly support her and the child.
Miss Krider was willing and the case
was withdrawn the couple agreeing to
procure a license and become husband
and wife today. 1t is said Hayes wan
ted to marry the young woman years
ago, but he was barber on small sala-
ry and there were parental objections
which the then young girl could not
overcome. Now she is of legal age and
her parents consent was not necessary.

Religious fanaticism is responsible
in large degree for the sufferings in
India at the present time. While
there are millions Of cattle there
which could not be sold for fifty
cents head, the thought has never
occurred to the 35,O00,000 Indian
peasantry now suffering from hunger
that these cattle would have been
food resource to tide them over the
months of crop failure. Had those
natives. when the signs pointed un>
mistakably to a season of crop fall
ures cured the beef of the animals
which OF necessity perished for lack
of food. many thousands of human
lives would have been saved, but any
such suggestion would have been
inexpressibly shocking to those
people who base their religious be-
liefs upon the Vedas, and they would
never dream of such q proclamation Of
the teachings OF Brahminism. They
would rather swallow dirt and gnaw
roots than eat beef and yet, even in
years OF comparative plenty the spec
tre Of starvation is continually star
ing them in the face.
