SPI RITUALISTS ELATED.
They Say They Had a Fine Sc
ance and That Skeptics
We're COnfOunded.

The spiritualists are having some
wonderful experiences in Canton this
week. w. L. Brown, a medium of Cleve-
land, is in the city and some startling
phenomena have been produced in the
seance room. Wednesday night a Sc
ance was held at the residence of Geo.
Chalfant. There were about twenty
five present and the believers came
away highly elated while the skeptics
were considerably nonplussed at the
results accomplished. The seance was
in the light and under the full glare Of
the lamp hands were materialized and
slate writing produced. Some came
with states screwed together and went
away with messages written in them
purporting to have come from departed
spirits.

COLDLY RECEIVED.
Very Few Flags Displayed When
President Mckinley Visited
Cleveland.

President McKinley's visit to Cleve-
land yesterday did not appear to create
any more excitement or interest than
his visit to Canton. Some of the Cleve-
land people fail to understand this.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer says Of the
visit to Cleveland
William Mckinley, president of the
United States, paid Cleveland brief
visit yesterday. The chief executive of
the nation came to Cleveland and went
away just as any ordinary private cit
izen would do. There was only slight
demonstration in his honor. The fact
Of the presidents visit was known, and
a small crowd was at the station when
the train arrived.
The most noteworthy feature of the
fact that little or no attention was at
tracted by the presence Of the distin-
guished guest was the lack of display
of the national emblem. Only very
few flags were displayed. In the down
| town districts not over half a dozen
waved from the top of the government
building and a flag was run up on the
city's flag staff on the square. The
Chamber of Commerce building and the
Hollenden displayed the stars and
stripes in honor of the president. Flags
were displayed on two or three of the
business blocks.
The lack of flags was a sore disappoint-
ment to the friends Of the president.
Never before has Mr.. Mckinley visited
Cleveland when so little attention was
paid to his coming. When he visited
here last summer scores of flags deco
rated the city. All over the entire city
at that time was visible evidence OF
the presence of the distinguished per-
sonage.
At exactly 1920 yesterday morning
the president arrived in the city over
the Valley road. Accompanying him
were Mr.. Cortelyou, private secretary
to the president; Postmaster Frease
of Canton. and an official Of the secre
service. The presidents special car wa!
attached to c. T. G. ". train No. 4.
few people were at the station wher
tht train arrived, and when a glimps,
of the president was obtained the,
cheered. Many persons lifted their hat,
and the president did likewise in ac
acknowledgement. One or two men step
ped up and grasped the president
hand. The chief executive walked
briskly along. smiling and bowling oil
either SIDE The passengers on the trail
seemed in just as much hurry to leav
the station as if the president was no
among their number.
The party, with Mr.. Duncan, tn
presidents nephew, got into a carriag,
and Secretary Cortelyou and Post
master Frease were taken to the Hol
lenden. President Mckinley was driver
direct to the residence of hie sister
Mrs. A. j. Duncan, at No. 100 Oakdal
street. In honor of the president
visit nearly all of Mrs. Duncans neigh
bors had decorated their homes will
large and small flags.
At the house the president receive,
newspaper men. He looked to be il
excellent health and the fact that h
has hard campaign to go through di'
: not seem to be worrying him. In repl.
to questions he stated that he did no
care to discuss national issues.

NORTHRUP'S PLAN.
1t Is Claimed He Was to Pre-
tend to Save a Train and
Get a Job.
Special to News-Democrat.

Cleveland, April 26.-Morton North
ruq of Olmsted Falls plead not guilty
to the charge of trying to wreck
Lake Shore train. 1t is alleged that
Northrup's ambition was to be sleuth
in the employ of the Lake Shore; that
he piled up rails and ties on the tracks
and nearly wrecked a train. His idea
was, the detectives say, to discover the
obstruction, flag the train, make him
self out to be a hero and get job as a
"Hawkshaw."

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat and Corn Active. Oats Firm,
and Provisions Strong.


CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The wheat market
was fairly active with the pit traders
confused in their operations. They
bought on the bulges and sold on the
weak spots. On the declines the commits
sion houses were buyers. The market
closed firm about 1-2c higher than last
night. Liverpool was comparatively steady
in the face of declines yesterday, closing
unchanged to 1-Sd higher. Paris was up
a trifle also. Primary receipts were 300,-
900 bushels less than last year; clear
ances 39s, 900 bushels. There was said to
be a good cash demand here but We can
find only about 100, 900 bushels taken. st.
Louis reports about $50, 600 bushels wheat
sold to Eastern mills in the last two days.
The seaboard reports rs loads OF wheat for
export.
Corn was also active. Shorts in Octo-
Der were nervous and bid the price up.
There was good buying Of November by
prominent commission houses which in
duced local pit shorts to cover in that
month. There was an easier tone to the
market in the last hour on heavy selling
of November for an out town elevator
concern. December and May were neg
lected. Primary receipts were about half
of last years. The cash demand here was
very slack. The seaboard reports 81
loads.
Oats were quiet and firm. The marked
feature OF the strength has been the GOOD
buying of October by both elevators and
shipping firms. December and May were
strong with indications of interest by out
side buyers. The seaboard reported 49,,
eco taken for export.
Provisions have developed into a big,
broad, bull market. The very strong
legitimate position has attracted specula-
vi fur
good advance. There was a large general
demand today, lard leading in the advance
that was made and held CT the close.
This market has strong undertone.

should be strong, but perhaps a decline

The reason for the diversity Of the days
business is easy to see, now that 1t has
been recorded. The slump in Sugar was
due to several cuts in rapid succession in
the price Of sugars. The coal strike was
no nearer over at the opening yesterday
morning than It has been before. Bear
talk Of higher money rates and the poor
showing made by some Of the railways

feeling in the general crowd that the i'd
vance had gone far enough, and was to be

The stock market yesterday was most
interesting one. At times, one of which
was the closing quarter-hour of the day,
1t might have been described as exciting.
The early trading convinced many that the
advance was over for the present, and that
short sales were in order for a good profit.
The speeialties were attacked vciously by
the professionals, and the insiders seemed
TO help the talent In some cases. Ten

ing breaks that looked as II they might

moment. The railway securities at all
times. however, held their own well. Later

which, at the close, was turned into a
boom, with advances Of from fraction to
three or four points.

TESTING CANNED MEATS.
Experts Can Ton Their Condition b

Experts Can Ten Their Condition BY
Tapping Upon the Lids.
Among the most incomprehensible
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area Of Woolwich reserve depot
are the doings Of a small party Of OFF,
Gals, one of whom appears to do moth
ing all day long but sit at q table and
tap on the top of tin canisters with a
couple Of bits of stick something after
the manner of a child beating on the
upturned end of his drum. The tins
are passed before him about as fast as
he can tap them and absolutely moth
ing seems to come of the game. To
the unenlightened onlooker it is quite
uninteliigible. The tins contain meat
and before they are passed into store
it is, of course, important to examine
the condition Of what is inclosed, and
this, in fact, is the way it is done. The
trained ear of the expert examiner can
tell whether the meat is in a whole
some or a putrid condition by the
sound emitted when raped with the
stick just az the examiner of railway
carriage wheels is supposed to be able
to tell whether the wheel he taps with
his hammer is cracked or not. The
rapidity with which the business is
gone through and the seeming mat
tention of the performer with the
sticks and his total indifference to all
sorts of noises about him render the
procedure a very curious one to watch.
The test is said to be practically in.
