The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-11-27

The News-Democrat's exclusive an
nouncement some weeks ago, that the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
would construct and operate a trunk
line through this city, connecting, by
direct, airline, Chicago and Pittsburg,
las received additional and conclusive
confirmation, and the superiority Of the
News-Democrat's news service is again
manifested, this time in matter that
Is considered of the most vital import
ance to the growth and development Of
Canton. When it was first announced in
this paper that the line would be built
along the old Beaver creek survey, some
knowing gentlemen, who were most de-
lightfully scooped on the biggest news
item for Canton that 1900 has produced,
began to make sport of the story and
insinuated that pipe smoking had be-
come a habit in certain newspaper
OlhCtS anu tHdt tDtIt was 1o tluhh III
the story. Three weeks later the same
papers-and at least one of them is
printed in Canton-came along with the
story that the News-Democrat had
told.
A few days ago the Pittsburg Post,
leading Pittsburg authority on railroad
matters, officially confirmed the News
Democrats announcement. Now
comes further information in the way
Of property purchases near East Liver
pool for the construction of bridge
over the Ohio river.
At East Liverpool the full force and
effect Of the project Is understood and
appreciated. Baltimore & Ohio checks
for work already performed have found
their way into the Golfers Of the mer-
chants and real estate in the section to
be traversed by the railroad is enjoy
ing a substantial boom, just as it will
In Canton. ......r
1t is the most important news item
for Canton that has been offered to the
public within a year. A legitimate re-
suit Of the road coming through this
city to join the C. T. & V. railway is the
removal of the car shops Of the latter
company to this city. The board of
trade, at the proper time, will doubt
less see that this feature is given the
consideration due 1t.
Canton Is the natural end of a di-
vision Of the road. as It is here that
the new line first defects to one Of the
old lines controlled by the B. G o. COM
pany. That means the addition Of many
families Of railroad men to the city's
tnhabitants-an increase in popula-
tion and consequent increase in bus
mess.
Too much importance cannot be at
tached to this railroad project and the
s-Democrat takes pardonable pride
in the fact that it was the first news
paper to give the Canton public this
big piece Of good news.

slight hemorrhages having occurred
from the wound in the lung. DR.. Noble,
who attends the wounded man, says
that he suffered a great deal of pain,
but that between spasms he is able to
rest quietly. This is in favor Of the
patient although the doctor considers
the case doubtful. He says that there
are chances for the man to recover.
The departure of Dustin Shaw and
Sheriff Tinkham for Woodstock was
attended by large crowd at the sta
ton. The old man was still in a very
weak condition as the result Of the 10
days Of privation and life in the woods
lodging pursuers.
The sheriff is the official who previ-
ously arrested Shaw and his son. He
showed every consideration for his
prisoner, not only declining to hand
cuff, but even loaning him his over
coat, as the old man claimed that he
had been freezing for a week.
Dustin Shaw says that he told Spec
ial Deputy l.. J. Knight, who discov-
who advised him TO surrender, that he
would have done so If the officers had
been there to demand it. He said that
if he and Frank had had another day
they would never have been captured.
for they had planned to steal Harrison
Holden's horse, last night, and with it
reach New York state.

A REASON FOR IT.
There is Only One Pile Cure That Has Reached
National Popularity and Reputation.

There are many popular medicines
that are known in every household in
America.
There are blood purifiers, nerve
tonics, headache remedies. dyspepsia
cures, and cough cures, which are sold
in every drug store in the nation and
beyond
But all of these must divide their
popularity with many rivals. no one
remedy has the field to itself, with the
single exception Of pile cures. for it is
singular fact that there is but one
pile cure that can be considered as
having national reputation, without
q rival. and the referred to is the
Pyramid Pile Cure which for seven
years has steadily worked into the
public favor by reason of it's extraordi-
nary merit, until it is known from
Maine to California and from Mani
toba to the gulf
1t is true there are many pile rene
dies having small local reputation
fora year or two, but the Pyramid Pile
Cure has rapidly suppIanted them all
and really has the field to itself when
anything like national popularity is
considered.
The explanation is simple. 1t is be-
cause piles is in no sense an imaginary
trouble that a bread pill or a simple
salve or ointment will cure, but an OBJ
stinate, painful and often dangerous
trouble and remedy to give satisfac-
ton must possess positive and very
apparent merit. A person suffering
from piles will not experiment for
months with n remedy: it must give
relief ana a cure in short order or it
is condemned
The worst cases of piles are relieved
on the first application of the Pyramid
and cure will result in a reasonable
time from its regular use.
Medicine men use it in preference to
operations because it is safer, is per
fectly painless and the cost to patient
is mere trifle as all druggists sell
the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50c., and as
1t Is used at night, it cures without in
terfering with regular occupation.
Ii suffering from any form Of piles
bleeding, itching or protruding. a trial
OF the Pyramid will cure you and add
another to its thousands of friends,
