On the Bill That Will Grant Ward
Option In Cities.
IT'S FATE is VERY DOUBTFUL
lie Does Not Consider the Bill by Any
Means Law and Says Much Work
Is Being Done--Opposed to
Bill For Court to Fix Fees
For Attorney.

Representative ]. B. Snyder came
home from Columbus Saturday morn
ing. He says that he is opposed to the
Patterson bill to allow trial judges to
fix the fees for attorneys in cases of in
digent prisoners. He declared that he
would fight the measure with all his
power in the house. He thought the
people were against it.
Concerning the Clark bill he said it's
fate was doubtful. He thought it would
be close. The measure is specially set
for next Wednesday at 10 o'clock and
Mr.. Snyder said that unless he missed
his guess there would be lot of SEN
ators taken suddenly sick that day so
they will not be able to be present.
Said he: II can only figure out that the
bill has about 16 votes and if one or two
can be kept away the bill must fail.
There is lots of work being done there"

FACTS ARE STUBBORN.
If Canton People Are Not Convinced by

FATHER AND SON
Seriously Injured In a Mine
Accident In the Vicinity
Of Paris.

News comes from Paris to the effect
that John Smith and his son, miners,
had narrow escape from death while
at work in the Zeigler mine. They were
alone in their room at the time the ac-
cident happened, which was caused by
lot of slate falling. The slate in fall
ing put out their lights and pinioned
Mr.. Smith to the floor of the mine. He
called to his son, and thought the boy
was dead, but summoning his strength
tried to throw off the slate. In so doing
he sprained his back and sustained other
injuries. The son, however, had only
been stunned, and soon went to his ia
theirs assistance, releasing him from his
perilous position. 1t is not thought
that Mr.. Smiths injuries will prove IA
tai.

A STATEMENT
From a Prominent Physician

About the Treatment of Kidney Disorder
DR.. Leopold says that nine-tenths Of
the human ailments can be traced di-
rectly to a disordered condition of the
kidneys. The kidneys are the filters of
the entire system; IL they become clog
ged or in any way do not perform
their natural functions, the element
reaching the kidneys through some
other channel Immediately returns to
that channel which Is unnatural and
causes trouble. A slight backache,
nervousness and restlessness should
not be left to continue; a mild kidney
remedy uhould at once be administered.
and the best combination of remedies
is found in Morrows Kid-ne-oids.
They act gently, though quickly, re-
moving all sediment from the kidneys
and urine and set the system in proper
working condition.
Mr.. owen Pagan, Wooster street.
Bowling Green. Ohio, says: "I was
greatly troubled with a severe pain
across the small of my back and right
hip. / was not able to attend to my
work. About this time I heard of Nor
rows. Kid-ne-oids and decided to give
them a trial. took them according to
directions and Kid-ne-oids cured me in
remarkably short time"

gress In 5000 Years Rev. SamueIs
rells of His Native
Country.

Rev. Samuels, a Persian missionary
occupied the pulpit of the United
Brethren church at the Thursday even.
ing prayer meeting and delivered a very
entertaining discourse on the Persian
nation and people. He was attired in
the native costume He said Persia was
a nation of 100000 people and had been
ruled by 255 kings. The nation was
| just the same now as it was five thou
sand years ago. There is no progress,
no railroad, no machinery, no inventions
and nothing to mark an upward step in
civilization.
The country is a land of flowers, Of
| birds and Of sheep. The king has abso-
| lutte power and the lives of his sub
| jects are his to do with as he chooses.
If he says they shall die, they die, and
no one dare question the proceeding.
The punishments for all sorts of evil
| doing is generally death, although this
is sometimes modified to cutting off
the culprit's nose or ear or hands or to
burying him alive to die at his leisure
The popular method of dispatching
criminals is to cut their throats or to
shoot holes through them with a big
cannon.
There is a small crowd Of followers of
ZOrOaster who are fire worshppers.
They have temples with an altar in the
middle and fire is kept going on the
altar all the time while the worshippers
gather round and adore the fire. They
are very moral in their lives.
The MohOmmedans are the prevailing
people. They are very scrupulous as to
the forms of their worship. The speaker
they all kept their hats on but took
off their shoes and left them in the
corridor Then when they went out
there was a great scramble and fight
for the shoes. Many, he declared, went
to church, not from any religious fervor
that possessed them, but merely to
change shoes with someone who had
better pair. He said there was great
rivalry on the part of this class to get
new pair.
Rev. Samuels said the men generally
had more than one wife. When the
wives got to quarrelling too much he
had to separate them and put the
families in different houses. The
women did all the work. The fine
Persian rugs and tapestries are all the
work of the women who are thus sup
porting their husbands. A rug 5x6 feet
takes eight months to make. All is
hand work. There is no machinery in
the country. Many of the women go
blind working at the business.

Campbell, double and twisted cousin
Of President Mckinley, will be the next
postmaster of Warren. His nomination

saying "that blood is thicker than

district the postoffice is, did not recon-

cross swords with the president about
a year ago, however, and he won. 1t
was over some dinky little postoffice
in the northern part of his district. The
president had a nephew who wanted
to hold down the job. The president
told him he could have 1t. But Dick
said may" Dick went over to the
white house and told the president that
he intended to stand for reelection and
he wanted a few Of the men who stood
by him to have lobe at any rate. So

was appointed The nephew is still

DIVORCE GRANTED.
Court Separated a Pair After 1t
Was Shown That They
Couldn't Agree.

| Judge McCarty on Friday afternoon
heard the divorce petition of Emmett VS..
| Almeda Steinmetz. The plaintiff lives
| in Canton and the defendant lives at
Carrollton. Attorney Dan Shelter rep
resented the husband and Mr.. Fimple,
of Carrollton, came up to look after the
interests of the wife. The divorce was
asked on the ground that the wife had
abandoned her husband four years ago.
No contest was made. In fact both
were willing and Attorney Fimple went
on the stand and testified that he
thought the pair could never get along
together. Judge McCarty then granted
the divorce. The parties had settled
the alimOny by the division of the prop
erty, after which the husband paid the
wife $4OO for the support of the child.
A MODIFICATION.
In the report Of the decision of Judge
McCarty on the RidSeway Burton Co.
VS.. Hadley case Friday an error crept in
stating that the court found the verdict
clearly wrong but would not disturb it.
The matter should have read that he
found the verdict, while not what he
would have rendered. yet was not
clearly wrong, and therefore he would
not set it aside. The court said the
plaintiffs came to court openly violating
their contract and he would have prob
ably decided the case different but that
the jury had a right to it's opinion and
as the case was not clear he would not
interfere.
MORTGAGE CASE.
Judge McCarty, Friday afternoon,
heard the case of Okella Buttermore VS.
Daniel Clapper ct al. The suit was the
foreclosure of a mortgage and the
marshalling of liens. The court decreed
in favor Of the plaintiff and ordered
the property in Jackson township sold.
From the proceeds the mortgage will
first be paid and if anything is left
it will be used to liquidate judgment
hanging over the defendant.

The New York Tribune makes a fine
appeal to the Imagination in describ-
ing how the new battleship Kear-
sarge left Hampton Roads for New
York, last week. when her place was
taken the next day by the old Hart
ford, which had just arrived from her
long voyage from San Francisco. The
voyage Of the Hartford was. in itself,
a notable performance. 1t was made
by that ship over the same course that
was pursued two years ago by the
Oregon in perhaps. all things consid
cred, the most wonderful voyage ever
made by q ship-of- war. Time was
when the Hartford was as conspicuous
and important in the American navy
as was the Oregon two years ago.
her much rcmodcling. One day. no
| doubt, the splendid oregon will be as
| obsolete as the Hartford is now In
| fact, there are those who begin to re-
gard her as already surpassed by the
| new kearsarge, and certainly by the
| still newer monsters that are yet in the
shipyards. But remembering the Hart
ford as what she was on that Angus;
morning in Mobile bay. and the
Oregon as what she was in that world
startling run and on that summer Sun
day at Santiago, the contrast between
them ovcrwhclms calculation. while
the thought that the change between
them has been effected within a single
human lifetime is an amazing gauge
cf the worlds inventive progress.
