CLOSING OF

One of the Most Successful Ever
Held In Canton.

In This city Committee on Resolutions
Makes q Report and 1t IL IMAM
imously Adopted Insti-
tute News.

At lis President Guthrie called FRI
day afternoons meeting to order. This
was the last meeting Of the institute
and was attended by about 800 people.
Prof. James conducted the song service
after which DR.. Milne began his lee
ture on Sunshine" Happiness" said
he, "is the sunshine of life. Persons
never know life until they know
dreams" He said that happiness, like
the rays of sunshine, can be analyzed.
In sunshine there are three parts: heat
part, light part, and chemical part The
light part of happiness is the part that
multiplies happiness. The heat part
intensifies happiness and the chemical
part multiplies cheer by coming in con-
| tact.
He said that a great many people In
this world want to sow one thing and
reap another. They wish to sow lazl-
ness, for instance and reap knowledge.
But person can never be happy un-
less he is doing something. The active
personality Is the happy personality.
The Individual who is happy is healthy,
and the individual who is healthy Is
happy. Everyday bring some happi-
ness from yesterday and borrow some
from tomorrow. The greatest part of
sunshine is the reflective part of II. You
can't shed gloom and gather sunshine
at the same time. SOW happy act,
said he, "and you will reap habit, a
happy habit. Sow habit and you will
reap a character. Sow q happy habit
and you will reap a happy, helpful
character"
Among other truths he wished to i'm
press these: ITO do good you must find
good in another. What we give in life
is what we take out of 1t.
Teachers are too many times borr
} pessimists, bottling up their sunshine
Children are born optimists, looking
J forth their sunshine from their faces.
}, He spoke very interestingly for 4;
, minutes and ended with an illustra'
tion of the assertion that everyone whe
does you good teaches you to be good
After a ten minutes interrnission th'
remaining numbers on the program
were proceeded by solo by Mis-
Belden, which was loudly encored. TheT

WILL LEAVE LOUISVILLE.
DR.. Leberman, Well Known In
Canton Has Accepted
Another Call.

DR.. ]. J. Leberman, Of Louisville who
has had charge of the Reformed church
in that village for the past 27 years has
accepted a call to Alpha Ohio. DR..
Lebcrman is well known in Canton.
The Louisville Heard says:
Rev. DR.. ]. J. Leberman returned to
Louisville the latter part Of last week
and preached at the Reformed church
on Sunday morning. DR.. Leberman
had been granted a vacation by the
consistory and this was the first Sun
day he had occupied the pulpit at
Louisville for period of three weeks.
The attendance at the service was large
and the pastors sermon seemed more
powerful and eloquent than usual. Be-
fore beginning his sermon DR.. Leber-
man surprised the congregation by an
nouncing that he had accepted call
to Alpha, Ohio. and that he would
preach his farewell sermon on Sunday
morning, September 23d. There were @
few in that large congregation who
were not deeply moved by reason oi
the announcement and many there were
who could not conceal their emotion.
When DR.. Leberman's determination
became known over the town the in
formation was everywhere received
with sincere regret, for a minister o.
the ability Of DR.. Leberman is more Il
a community than simply pastor o
one of the denominations of that com
munity.
Alpha, the town where DIR. Lebermal
and family will live In the future, 4
located in Greene county, betweel
xenia and Dayton. There are at pres
ent three congregations in the charg
but by october 1t is expected that on
of the congregations will be added I
another charge.
For twenty-seven years has DR.. Leb
erman been pastor of the Reforms
church at Louisville. During thes
years he accomplished much and
record of his work will be published a
a later date.

Catlin Building, Friday.
FELL 40 FEET TO THE GROUND
The ScsfYolding Broke--No Broken Bones
Sustained Hut He Is Seriously
Bruised and Shaken

Rudolph Hill, bricklayer employed
on the new Catlin tenement building in
South Market street, fell from a third
story scaffold, Friday morning, about
1880 o'clock, and was seriously injured
Workingmen picked him up and carried
him into the Catlin residence weber he
was given medical attention by Drs
Catlin and c. f. House.
The building being constructed is on
the west side of South Market, just
below Ninth street. 1t is three stories
in height. Contractor Henry Gonder
and Rudy Hill were standing on a
third story scaffold on the Market street
or front side of the building, when some
of the scaffolding slipped or broke and
Hill was violently thrown to the street
below. Gonder happened to be on an
other portion of the scaffolding and he
was not thrown off. AS Hill went down.
ward some of the scaffolding followed
him. However he was not struck by
any of the timbers. Several workmen,
engaged below, Immediately picked him
up and conveyed him to the Catlin home
where an examination was made of his
injuries. DR.. Catlin stated that so far
as could be learned, Hill sustained no
broken limbs or bones, but that dislo-
cation of one Of his shoulders was ap-
parent. Hill suffered a great deal of
pain, and there were many bruises on
his body. His fall was dangerous one
and might have resulted fatally.
Almost the entire piece Of scaffolding
on the third story was broken away,
and some of the scaffolding on the lower
floors came down with the falling
timbers.
Rudy Hill is one of the best known
bricklayers in this city and member
of the local Bricklayers union. His
home Is at S22 Englehardt court, to
which place he was removed shortly
after the accident.

From Which Blood and Brains OOzed
And Life Soon Became Extinct.
And Had Turned Around I'm the Wagon to
Talk to Some Boys When the Acci-
dent Occurred BOX Car Too
Near the Road Said to
Have Interfered.

An accident occurred Thursday even
ing, about $50 o'clock, at Maxine, this
county, which resulted in the death Of
John Miller, the 13-years-old son Of
Gotleib Miller.
Mr.. Miller and his son worked for
Christ Krabill, a farmer living nearsthe
town, and 1t was the boys duty to drive
the milk wagon to the cheese factory In
Maxine daily. Thursday evening he
had been to the factory and was on his
way back. When he approached the
Fit. Wayne railroad crossing he was
looking back, talking to some other boy,
wholly oblivious Of the approaching
train. An engine, hauling empty Pull
man cars east, was approaching at a
high rate of speed. When the lad dis
covered his danger he made frantic ef-
forts to stop the horse, but the animal,
which was high spirited, dashed upon
the track just in front Of the locomo-
tive. When the engine struck the horse
the shock threw the boy into the air. He
struck box car on the side track and
rebounded against one Of the cars Of
the train.

under the wheels, but fell at the side
of the track. He was picked up by the
Mortified bystanders, when 1t was found
that a great cash had been cut In his
head, from which brains and blood were
oozing, his body was bruised and his
arms and one leg broken.
1t was thought at first that he had
been killed outright, but in a few mo-
ments he commenced breathing and lay
in comatose condition till $3.50, when
he died.
DR.. Tressell, the railway company's
physician, went out from Alliance, but
nothing could be done toward saving
the boys life.
Mr.. d. A. Simon, of Maxine, who
witnessed the occurrence, was in Can
ton, Friday. He said that If a box car
had not been so close to the roadway
the boy might have escaped.
The horse was killed instantly.
The victim Of the accident was a
bright, popular boy. The funeral will
be held from the late residence Satur-
day.

FROM CANTON
TO AKRON.
That Electric Railway Is to Be
Be Built Sure, Now.
IN OPERATION IN ONE YEAR
Money Is In Sight, and the Pro jectors Mean
Business-May he the Means OF
Opening Up n Fine sum
mer Resort,

The electric railroad between Canton
and Akron Is going to be built again.
According to Akron advices the road
will surely be constructed this time
and it is said the work will begin about
November Is. The Akron Beacon
Journal says:
The long talked Of electric railway line
between the cities of Akron and Can
ton is at last to become a reality. 1t is
to be built as soon as the preliminary
arrangements can be completed, and
will be in operation no later than July
! Of next year.
The above assertions have been made
by Attorney T. L. Childs, who is now
devoting his entire time to the enter
prise in behalf of Cleveland capitalists
who have taken the matter up in earn
est. The money is in sight and they
mean business, says the Akron attorney.
Two routes have already been sur
veyed for the proposed line, but no
decision has yet been reached as to
which viii be followed. Attorney
Childs drove out over the roads south
Of the city, Thursday, and consulted
property owners in Coventry, who had
previously given the right of way
| to be as enthusiastic as ever and ready
to assist the project in every way.
SPRINGFIELD LAKE ROUTE.
1t is very probable that the road will
be built by way Of Springfield lake and
that 1t will be the means of opening
a fine summer resort there. The route
is comparatively level one and very
little grading will have to be done ex-
cept where the line will cross the c..
T. & ", near Jacob Metzger's farm.
The crossing there will be an overhead
one. The route from Springfield lake
south will follow that surveyed by At
torney William A. lynch, of Canton,
but 1t is claimed Lynch Is not connect
ed with the new company.
WILL BEGIN SOON.
| Attorney Childs claims that work
will actually be begun by November
16 and July Of next year is fixed a.
the limit Of time for the completion
OF the road. 1t is hoped to complete
the work by May /, however.
While the road is now an assured
thing there are still @ multitude of
details to be arranged, and chief
among these is the securing of q suit
able route into the city from the south,
but the promoters anticipate no din
culies.

past middle age, tall, and rather
stopped, and his face bears the express
sion of one who has suffered. His
speech, while forceful. was not .caus-
tic, and was given in a manner that
displayed sincerity.
In opening his talk, Mr.. Debs said
that it never was his purpose to ap-
peal to the passions of men. He asked
only the exercise of sober Judgment
in the questions he discussed. He
drew a picture of our social institu-
ton, in which he showed the increas-
ing tendency toward Capitalization of
wealth and the division of the world
into two classes, who were struggling
against each other with might and
main. This, he said, has been brought
about by the competitive system, the
system which manufactures for profit
and not for use The tool is the sym
Dol of the workingman's indepen-
dence, and as it is becoming more
complicated and developing into the
machine, his independence is being
lost and with his independence is 60
ing all that makes man noble, his
very individuality. In support of
this, Mr.. Debs contTasted the condi-
tiOns of so years ago, at which time
any laboring man might reasonably
hope to become an employer, and those
of the present, in which only few
can advance, while women and chill
dren are compelled TO enter the strug-
gle for an existence. As a chain is no
stronger than lis weakest link, so the
depriving of any class of its strength
is an element of weakness in the
whole social fabric. He said the COM
petitive system should be judged by
she fruit it bears, and imperfections
of the fruit were wildly drawn by the
lecturer. However, he said, the ma
chine and all present social conditions

Question Answered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at 7. H.
