Springfield Democrat: Mrs. VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan turned neat trick Friday
afternoon on the Springfield public. In
cognito Mrs. Bryan left the special
train carrying Mr.. Bryan and party and
wended her way to the city building
where she obtained seat In the board
of trade room. The room was well
filled with ladies, not one Of whom had
the slightest suspicion that Mrs. Bryan
was in their midst.
The wife Of the next president talked
animatedly of the rally and was most
enthusiastic. She climbed into one of
the windows, which she occupied a
while.
Finally, after she had departed on the
conclusion Of Mr.. Bryan's speech, they
put their heads together, and when one
of them suggested the lady was Mrs.
Bryan all Of them agreed and they made
a rush to find her. She escaped, how
ever by going down South Market

WORLD is GOING
AT A MAD PACE.
Interesting Lecture at Akron
By a Canton Woman.
MRS. ALICE DANNER JONES
Talks to the Ladies' of Akron Friday Eve.
ming How the American People Are
wearing Out Their
Lives.

Akron Beacon Journal: Mrs. Alice
popular lecturer of Canton, Ohio, ap-
peared befor a fair sized audience at the
First Baptist church, Friday evening.
The subject of her lecture was "On the
limited express"
Mrs. Jones Is natural orator with
large and wholesome ideas. 1t is a
pleasure to listen to her for she is a
woman of the day who Is invested with
sweet simplicity of thought and ut
terances through which all people may
easily understand her.
Following are a few expressions from
her lecture which will show its line of
thought: "a.
Did the world ever go at such a
breakneck pace as now? The world
Is going too fast. Ambition has be-
come a passion with the masses and
America leads the world in the mad
race for gain. Serenity of contentment
is going out Of date. You and should
cultivate life's pauses more.
I'VE are simply wearing out our lives
in the mad race on the Limited Express
and when we are through the world
will scarcely take time to bury us. In
this age and country there is constant
effort to lead in the race and we are
putting on steam unequal to our powers.
The restless energy Of the American
people is driving them to ruin. The
world is going too fast in every phase
Of life and the Limited Express Of am
bition is crowded. 1t would be well for
us to slow up and ride on the slower go
ing accommodation train"

TELEPHONES
Are Too Much for the Simple
People of Amish Faith
Threat Of Expulsion.

Canal Dover. Oct. ia church quar-
rel has occurred in the Tus-
carawas-Holmes county Amish colony,
north Of here, over singular
cause, which threatens to dis
Winesburg church.
A new country telephone system has
recently been introduced, and among
the subscribers are several prominent
Amish men who are members of the
Winesburg church, most of them young
farmers. There is perhaps no more rigid
sect in their religious observance than
the Amish people. Those of the old
school spurn all new-fangled ideas as
being immoral. That is the reason hooks
and eyes are used among them instead
of buttons, it being held that buttons
are ornamental and not in keeping with
the discipline of the church. For the
same reason they never have their
photograph taken.
The young Amish men are losing these
beliefs, and there was an uproar in the
church when they had telephones put in
their homes. Things came to a crisis
when the elders of the church called a
meeting and forbade any member to
have telephone in his or her home.
They also ordered all those who had had
telephones put in to take them out at
once or be expelled from the church.
This the young Amish men say they
will not do, and unless some amicable
agreement Is reached soon there is likely
to be permanent split in the congrega-
tion.

SERIOUS LARCENY CHARGE
Preferred Against Two Men,
Who, 1t Is Alleged, Looted
Street Railway Office.

On the night Of october II, the base
ment of the office occupied by the
electric street railway company, on the
east side Of the public square was
entered, and wire and electrical con-
nections valued at $34 were stolen. The
theft was reported to the police and
the officers have been engaged in the
case ever since.
Saturday. Officer Willis Sergeant
Riblet and Marshal Reinhart visited the
place Of business Of the Central Electric
company, at the intersection Of East
Eighth and Piedmont streets, where a
portion of the stolen stuff was recovered.
The proprietor, Edward H. Forester,
and former employe, Roy Anderson,
were placed under arrest, afterward. on
an affidavit preferred by James u.
Fogle of the electric railway company
charging the two parties with the
theft.
Forester secured bail and he was re-
leased from custody, and will have q
hearing Wednesday at 8 o'clock. AN

boxes okonite tape. three boxes Of CUT
outs, 81 key sockets and "a switches, Of
the total value of $34. Some of the stuff
had been used and 1t was not all re-
turned.
Forester stated that he purchased the
stolen articles from Anderson. He said
Anderson told him he was working at
Louisville. on an electric contract, and
that the. articles he had In his posses
sion remained over after the completion
of the work. Anderson denies this
story.
When Anderson was arraigned before
the mayor Ne pleaded guilty to the
charge of larceny and was fined 500 and
costs and sent to the wOrkhouse for 20
days. Anderson said he came here from
Los Angeles, Cal, and had been In the
employ of the electric railway company.
He had key to the building and the
articles stolen were taken at various
times. He said he sold the stun
to Forester for SIS.
The company valued the stolen arti-
cles at $42, but the amount was figured
at $34 to avoid sending Anderson to the
penitentiary.

A FORTUNE In

ried q Canton Girl-ReIatIves
Here.

William ]. McMillen, who at one time
lived in this city, coming here from
Salem, has been very fortunate in spec
ulations in the west. A letter received
by relatives in this city a short time
ago state that McMillen had Just sold
out lease on some oil territory for
$4,000.
McMillen Is a brother-i in law Of Thos.
H. Bruce, OF 1917 North Cherry street.
His former home Is at Salem but he
was married in this city quite a number
Of years ago to Miss Gillian. He was
employed for many years at the Wertz
buggy shop, which then stood in West
Seventh street, near Cleveland avenue.
From Canton he went to the Pennsyl-
vania oil region, where he remained
several yers, and when the Oil boom
was on in Los Angeles, Cal, he went
there, after forming q company, and
leased some land for prospecting pur-
poses. 1t appears that his first venture
was unsuccessful. However, later on
he formed another company, this time
making a big strike. He succeeded in
selling his interest in the company for
$1,000.
The oil claim was located on Sulphur
Mountain, near Hueneme, in Ventura
county, Cal. McMillen wcs also at one
time engaged in selling supplies and
sinking artesian wells in that far west
erns state.

to equal the Canton delegation was mo-
ticed. 1t wac great eye-opener for the
Republicans Of Summit county and the
few Canton Republicans who took ad-
vantage Of the rate and went along.
Mr.. Bryan spoke to 10000 people from
o stand erected near the Buchtel house,
on Main street. He talked trusts and
Imperialism. almost exclusively. Akron
is the headquarters for numerous
trusts, and the people knew what he
was talking about and cheered every
sentence. He was in fairly good voice
but It was difficult to catch what he
said from the outskirts of the crowd.
Rut one does not have to hear Bryan

ahty and appearance Is such that he
holds an audience, whether 1t Is too
large for all to hear him or not.

The Valley railway facilities were
taxed to their utmost to handle the big
crowd after the meeting was over and
the time for the return trip had ar

DEMOCRATS PARADED.
Terrific Jam at the Valley Sta
tion on the Departure Of
the Cant0n Special.

Canton had political demonstration
herself Saturday evening that was the
real thing. 1t was the first campaign
parade in Canton worthy of the name,
this year. Htaa
The Bryan and Stevenson club, the
Second Ward Tammany club and the
Soth End Bryan club, all formed at
city hall and marched to the Valley
depot to take the train for Akron.

second section.
There were 26s marchers. members Of
the three clubs. in line,- and they
marched east on Seventh street.
through the square and then west on
Tuscarawas street to the Valley de-
pot. The marchers were cheered all
along the line Of march. A dozen trans
parencies were carried.
At the Valley depot, a terrific crush
occurred. The IA coaches provided for
the Canton special proved insufficient
to nearly accommodate the crowd.
Thirteen hundred tickets were sold at
Canton; three hundred Or four hundred
boarded the train without tickets and
paid their fares. and at least 400 more
were unable to get aboard at all. and
were left on the platform.
Wooster Republican: wooster sent
a fair sized delegation to Mansfield this
morning to hear W.. Bryan. The ex-
act number that took the special train
including the Mt. Eaton band was 42l,
for the other two regular trains 20 round
trip tickets were sold, making in all
about 450 persons. Quite a number Of
ladies went on the special train. 1t was
expected that Wooster would make
quite a showing In the parade. as an
even dozen big banners were taken
along for the Bryan and Stevenson club
and the Fifth Ward Hickories.
