Other-A Picturesque In

There was a pleasant little scene Mon-
day night at East st. Louis, whero
Bryan and Roosevelt forgot politics,
shook hands cordially and joked for a
couple of minutes. The meeting was
barely mentioned in the press dispatch
es, but the correspondent Of a Chicago
paper tells the story, under date Of East

laughed Roosevelt.
Mine is as broken as Republican
promises" retorted the Nebraskan
laughing, too.
Then everybody laughed and cheerei
the Democrats with Bryan shouting
hurrab for him, and Roosevelt's follow

CARRY A MESSAGE
TO ROOSEVELT.
Arrangements Completed For
Saturdays Relay Race.
FROM CANTON TO WHEELING
Names Of the wheelmen Who Will Make
the Run From the Presidents Front
Porch to the Nall
City.

Arrangements are now complete for
the relay bicycle race between Canton
and Wheeling, to be run next Saturday,
the occasion being the sending of mes
sage from McKinley's home to Republic
can headquarters at Wheeling, w. Va.
The message was prepared by Presi-
dent Mckinley before he left Canton
for Washing ton. 1t is sealed and its
contents are not known. On Saturday
the Republicans Of Wheeling are to
have a field day and Gov. Roosevelt is
to be in attendance; and so the scheme
was arranged for getting the message
to Roosevelt from Canton through the
medium of wheelmen.
The Canton end of the arrangements
was placed in the hands Of Mr.. Edwin
J. Heffelman, his duties being to secure
riders to carry the message as far as
Canal Dover.
The relay stations will be about seven
or eight miles apart. The entire dis
tance is estimated at 90 miles, and II
is expected to get the message through
in from five to six hours.
The first run will be from Mckinley
home in Canton to Massillon. That
run will be made by w. II. Hugg and
p. L. Shrake, of Canton.
At Massillon the message will be de-
livered to G. II. Snyder and G. E
Blackwood, who will make the run tc
Navarro.
There the running will be taken up by
Charles Weidman and Edwin Groves
who will rush the message to Beach
City. This is an ideal run, the roads
being level and almost perfect.
From Beach City to Strasburg, Henry
Basley and Harvey AK will make thu
run.
| At Strasburg no local riders could b'
found who cared to attempt the duty
so two Canton wheermen, Fred Leh
man and Joseph Cappe, will go to tina
point and carry the message to Cana
Dover. From that point on the Wheel
ing committee has the matter in charge
| 1t is expected to get the message int
Wheeling about noon on Saturday.

WILL NOT STOP
IN STARK COUNTY.
1t Is Bryan's Personal Wish to
Avoid Speaking in the
PRESIDENTS HOME COUNTY
Instead, q Big Delegation of Canton Demo
Gratis VIII Go to Akron on
Saturday on Two Special
Trains.

There are a number of reasons why
Bryan's train will not stop in Canton
long enough for the Democratic candi-
date to make a speech from the platform
of the train.
Mr.. Bryan himself has manifested a
delicacy in the matter that is very
commendable, showing respect for the
chief executive in his own home that
elicits the respect Of even Republicans.
The report sent out from Columbus,
Tuesday, that the candidates train
might stop at Canton was authoritavely
denied in Tuesdays News-Democrat.
Chairman P. L. Manly, Of the Demo-
cratic county executive committee, has
had charge Of the correspondence over
the trip Of Mr.. Bryan through Stark
county. He has been in communica-
tion with the state Democratic commit
tee, and has advised against having Mr..
Bryan stop. Aside from the nice ques-
tions Of propriety, there are other
reasons. The train will pass through
Canton next Monday morning about
7:45, which would be too early for 4
meeting>or a demonstration. At the best
Bryan would only make a five minutes
speech, and 1t might interfere with the
attendance Of Democrats from Canton
at Akron, where arrangements have
been made to take big delegation.
No stop will be made at Alliance, and
none at Niles, the presidents birth
place, in accordance with Mr.. Bryan's
expressed wish; but night meeting will
be held at Akron on Saturday, and ar
rangements have been made for So
cent rate from Canton, on the c. T. &
v. railway. Two special trains will be
run from Canton, leaving here not later
than $3.50 p. m. and returning after the
meeting. 1t is estimated that 1900 per-
sons from Canton will go, and at New
Berlin 200 more will join the train, while
large delegations will be taken on board
at Greentown, Uniontown and other
points.
Two bands have been secured to ac-
company the Canton delegation, and
the presidents town Is expected to do
herself proud on this occasion.
The exact time of special trains will
be announced later.

WHO WANTS
$4,000 CASH?
It's In San Francisco Awaiting
Somebody.
EMANUEL LAWSON, OF CANTON
Or Bis Heirs, Gan Have This Snug Fortune
BY Standing Up and
Making Himself
Known,

The sum Of $1,000 cash Is awaiting
the heirs Of Henry Lawson, lately de-
ceased, Of San Francisco. The attor-
neys for the public administrator of
that western city believe that the
heirs are living in this vicinity. So far
as can be learned by the authorities,
however, their residence cannot be
found, and a diligent inquiry is being
made in the surrounding country.
Mayor Robertson received letter
Monday afternoon conveying the intel
ligence that Henry Lawson died short
time ago in San Francisco. The estate
was turned over to the public admin
istrator because no heirs could be To-
Gated. 1t was then learned that one
Emanuel Lawson formerly lived in
this city. and the attorneys directed
their attention here through a letter to
learn his location. and II dead. to learn
of his heirs.
The letter states that there is q sum
aggregating about $1,000 in various
banks in that city, which sum will
be turned over to the heirs If they car
be found.
There are a number Of LawsJns In
this city. But 1t appears that they
have no established claim on the money

CROY and WALTERS
Get In on the Division of the
Money at the Cleve-
land Races.

While Canton horses could not get the
long end of the purses, at Cleveland,
Tuesday, they kept up their reputation
for getting a piece of the purse, Allie
Walters winning second money with
Black Cecil in the 2:14 pace. The day
was chilly and the track slow, yet Cecil
was close up in the second heat in 2:16h.
In the 2:19 pace, Croy had Pop enter
ed. In the betting Pop brought $40; the
winner, Joe Pinkett, $40, the field ss.
The Plain Dealer says that in the
second heat Pop did not seem to be
driven to win, though he had lots Of
speed. He could not do better than
third place without winning heat, and
that did not seem to be on the pro-
gram.
