UNPLEASANT MEMORIES
Revived By the Massillon Independent
An Eighteenth District Republi-
can Reviews Some Interesting
History.

To the editor Of the Democrat:
The Massillon Independent on Tues
day printed an editorial favoring the re-
nomination of Congressman Tayler of
Lisbon to serve a fourth term in con-
gress, in which it made use of language
which would better have been suppress
ed, for it revives unpleasant memories
of the days Mr.. Tayler was Selected"
1t is in order to ask, has it come to this
that Mr.. Tayler has fastened himself
upon the Republican party to such an
extent that it is presumption for any
other man to be candidate for the po-
sition he occupies When did the Re-
publicans Of the Eighteenth district ex-
ecute to him chattel mortgage upon a
seat in the house or representatives
When the Independent says that
Eighteenth district Republicans have
hitherto been capapble of selecting their
own congressional candidates." its
memory should be refreshed. How was
Mr.. Tayler selected? Was 1t by the
united voice of the district, or how? 1t
will be remembered that the late Judge
p. c.. Young of Lisbon, silver tongued
orator and man of ability, was a candi-
date for congressman from this district
in 1894 to succeed DIR. Ikirt Of East Liv-
erpool. Mr.. Tayler had but recently
scented the office from Wall street in
New York, and returned for the purpose
of getting into the race. When he had
gone about Columbiana county for a
time he found that as an opponent OF
Judge Young he stood no chance OF
getting the Columbiana county delega-
ton in the convention. Judge Young
was ruled out Of the race. a fact which
has ever since initiated against Mr.
Tayler, especially at home where Re-
publicans did not then nor have they
ever since taken kindly to the manner In
which Tayler was selected" as the Re
publican candidate of Columbiapa
county. II was by the skin OF his
teeth. as Job would say that Mr. TayleI
finally got the nomination In convention

MEMORABLE SCENE.
General White Visibly Affected
When Addressing the
Garrison.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.1
Ladysmith, Feb. 28.-Delayed-Gener
al White received General Dundonald
today before an immense crowd OF SOL
diers and civilians who cheered the
greeting between the savior and saved.
After wringing Dundonald's hand, Gen
eral White turned to the throng and
said:
people of Ladysmith, thank you
one and all for the heroic and patient
manner in which you have assisted me
during the seige. From the bottom OF
my heart thank you. 1t hurt me ter
ribly when I had to cut down the ra-
tions. but thank God, we kept our Alag
flying"
General Whites voice broke at this
point and some one started "God Save
the Queen" which was taken up by the
crowd and sung with barred heads. II
was memorable scene.

Indeed, he would not have received it
then had not the late Judge King of
Youngstown, who was not a delegate to
the convention, arisen and appealed to
his friends to support Tayler. 1t was
Tayler's promise to Judge King that af-
ter a second term he would step aside in
Kings favor, but the third term came
along and King accepted another prom
ise and waited patiently for the time
when Tayler would step aside for him,
but King not long before his death ex-
pressed himself as astounded and ap-
palled that Tayler would be laying his
ropes for a fourth term.
A turn down for Tayler will not nee
essarily be regarded as a triumph for
Mormonism, since he took stand
against Roberts seating, but it will be
regarded as evidence that the Repub-
licans of the Eighteenth district have
yet spark of political decency about
them and that they want men to repre-
sent them who will not misrepresent as
has been the case with the present con-
gresham. REPUBLICAN,.

MILKMAN INJURED.
Horses Took Fright and In At

He Was Thrown.

Quite a serious runaway occurred in
South Market st. in the vicinity of the
Fort Wayne railway and which resul.

is a milkman and was on his morning
rounds when the runaway occurred.
The emergency tower of the street rail-
way company was at that point and the
men were making some repairs to the
trolley wire and it was at this that the
team took fright, and they started on a
mad run down Market street. Noaker

who was passing at the time, was sum-

about the head. His injuries were
dressed and he was removed to his
home. The horses, after running q short
distance, were stopped and no injury
was done to them or the wagon.

MOORE Is HONEST,
He Just Got Out of the Work
house But Would Not
Keep Money.

Salem, March 2.-Curtis G. Moore, nv
ing at 134 Summit street, Alliance, came
to this city on Fort Wayne train 20.
Shortly after he left the depot he found
pocketbook lying on the sidewalk.
1t contained gold coins and other val
uables. This morning Mr.. Moore ad-
vertised the fact that he had found the
pocketbook and money. and the only
conditions he asks for the return of
the property are that the advertise
ments be paid for and the property de-
scribed and identified. Mr.. Moore was
seen by a reporter to whom he said: "I
do not know to whom the money be-
longs. know it does not belong to me
and / want to find the owner. They
doubtless need 1t more than I, for have
plenty"
Mr.. Moore was questioned about him
self, and said he is now employed in the
Reeves boiler works at Alliance. Then
he told something of his family troubles.
He said last spring he and his wife had
little trouble. and he was arrested
by Policeman Miller who had a grudge
against him. Miller is the officer who is
just now having so much trouble at
Alliance. He has been put off the force
and is plaintiff in suit brought against
an Alliance councilman who charged
him with profanity, lettering and visit
ing saloons. Mr.. Moore said he was
taken before the mayor and fined 500
and costs. He would not pay this and
was sent to the workhouse at Canton
where he served time. When he came
home, he says, he found his home
broken up: his wife had packed UP her
goods and left; that she came to Salem,
and since has been working at the
Observation-Disclosures hotel. Moore has
four children, three girls and boy
The boy is with him. The three daugh-
ters are with Mrs, Moore in this city.

SPRING HUNTING
TO BE ABOLISHED.
Hunters Want Legislature to
Shorten Game Season.
HUNTERS TO BE LICENSED.
Mr.. Egiey Represented stark County In a
sportsmen's Convention at Columbus
Want a General Overhauling
OF the Game Laws.

BENJAMIN Egley arrived home from
Columbus Thursday after participating
in the convention of Ohio sportsmen
held there Wednesday. Mr.. Egley went
to Columbus as the representative of
the Lakeside Gun club, the Sparta Gun
club. and the sportsmen of Stark county
in general. There were seventy-eigls
delegates present and thirty-seven coun-
ties represented. The object of the
gathering was to counteract the in
fuence of the farmers who met the
same day and who were formulating
all sorts of things to have the Legislature
pass against the hunters of the state.
The farmers have been agitating the
question of having quail taken off the
list of game birds altogether and of
having hunting made a misdemeanor
under all circumstances.
The sportsmen formed an organiza-
ton to resist such demands then ap-
pointed a committee of eleven with
Judge o. B. Brown, of Dayton, at the
head, to confer with the farmers and
try and come to an understanding and
also to present the ideas of the sports
men to a legislative committee on We'd
nesday night.
Mr. Egley said that the hunters had
decided that several changes should be
made in the laws of the state on the
question, not only to protect the farmers
but to protect the game.
The sportsmen recommended that
spring hunting be abolished entirely.
AS it now is hunters can find something
to go after nearly the whole year round.
The sportsmen decided this was a nui-
n only tha 70 hitt 70 q
concerned. They arranged a schedule
that will limit the hunting to a few
months in the fall. Should their ideas
be embodied into law the first gun that
could be legally fired in the hunting
campaign would be on August 20. On
this date they propose to have wood
cock, squirrels and doves come into
season; September 1, ducks, snipe, rab-
bits and prairie chickens will be ripe;
November 10, quail and pheasants will
be ready for hunting, and all will go out
of season on December Is.
This is quite an advance step for the
hunters. 1t cuts down the hunting
season materially. 1t will stop duck
hunting in the spring, shortens the
season for pheasants and all other
birds excepting quail and puts the
festive cotton tail under the protection
of the law.
In addition to these recommendations
1t was agreed to recommend to the
Legislature that every hunter must have
a license. For this they propose he shall
pay $1.25. Twenty five cents of this is to
go to the clerk for issuing the license;
so cents to the fund for the prosecu-
tion of those who break the game laws
and the other so cents to the county
fund for the paying of those who bring
in scalps of hawks and other things
that destroy game.

WOMAN HELD
FOR BIGAMY
Frank Willig Says His Wife
Has Been Married Twice. O
THE WOMAN FEIGNED SICKNESS
And Nearly cot away by the Trlck--Taken
Before Justice of the Peace
Reigner and Her Case
Attended To.

Fanny Willig, the wife of Frank Will
lig, and the alleged wife of Albert
Fritz, is in the county Jail awaiting a
hearing on the charge of bigamy pre-
fererd by her husband. The complaint
was filed by Frank Willig before JUS
tice Reigner Friday afternoon. Con-
stable Henry and Constable Wielandt
started out to find her and located their
prisoner on East Eighth street. She
was taken to the office of Justice Reig-
ner. The squire was out just at the
time and Mr. Henry went to look for
him leaving the woman with Constable
Wielandt. She began to feign sickness.
She said she had heart trouble and sew
eral other ailments and wanted to go
back to the closet at the back of the
block. The constable thought she was
sick and permitted her to go out while
he sat in Wells shoe store and waited.
He had long wait and when he got
tired waiting and went to look up his
prisoner he found she had slipped out
quietly the back way and skipped. All
evening officers hunted for her and
about II o'clock she was located at the
home of Mrs. Henderson on West Tus-
carawas street. She was brought out
of bed to the county Jail. Saturday
morning she was arraigned before JUS
tice Reigner and plea of not guilty
was made to the charge of bigamy.
She was sent to Jail under a bond of
81, 900 to appear for trial next Tuesday
afternoon.
The defendant was married under the
name Of Fanny Doany to Frank Willig
by Justice Reigner on December %, 1899
He lived with her up till within few
weeks, When he married her he inn
agined he was getting a blushing young
damsel who had never before had ex-
perience in married life. Shortly after
ward, however, two children bobbed
up as alleged offspring. Their names
were Fritz and as Willig pursued his
Investigations he became convinced
that their father, Albert Fritz, was still
alive and undivorced. 1t is alleged that
he lives in Pittsburg. The woman was
married to Fritz in Coshocton in 1899
The court has letter from the probate
judge there which states that the pair
took out license there and were mar
ried in 1899.

LAKE TO RIVER.
Project to Run a Trolley Line
Through Receiving Some
Attention.

A Canal Dover special to the Cleve-
land Leader says:
Local capitalists are engineering a
plan which they believe will result in a
continuous trolley line across Ohio from
Lake Erie to the Ohio river, which, 1t
is argued, can be operated to a better
advantage when the electric lines which
now stretch over a good part of the state
are connected and untracked portions
bridged over.
There is at present an electric line
from Cleveland southwark to Akron.
Right of way has been secured from
Masssillon south to this city. From here
to Uhrichsville, thirteen miles south
ward, a trolley line has been in opera
tion for several years. Between Uh-
richsville and Cadiz, still farther south,
right of way has already been bought
up, and the survey for the line made.
From Cadiz to Wheeling, on the river,
there is already a line in operation.
1t will be seen that the untracked
portions now are between Akron and
this city, and between Uhrichsville and
Cadiz. OF this all has been provided for
except between Akron and Massillon
Local steam lines have keenly felt the
effect of the trolley system in this part
of the state. and it is believed that a
continuous line over which cars would
be run almost at steam railway speed
would be patronized by big portion OF
travellers.
Another part of the plan is to carry
freight over the trolley line, which, al
the low rates charged, would make ad.
ditional revenue for the street car com.
panies, and would not Interfere with
passenger traffic. The men back of the
venture have money, and it is believed
the trans-state line will be realized with
in year.

THE COWS DIED
WITH RABIES.
Mad Dog Bit the Animals on
FairmOnt Home Farm.
BOYS HAD PLAYED WITH 1T.
They Saw It Was Vicious and Drove 1t
Away with Pitchforks A Horse
Broke the jaw of the
Rrute.

Alliance, March 2-Consderable ex-
element has been caused at the Fair
mount Children's Home on account of
the appearance of mad dog there.
superintendent M. M, Southworth said
that about six weeks ago while the first
farmer was going to supper he noticed
a small dog on the walk between the
administration building and the cot
tages, and thinking the animal belonged
TO some visitor paid no attention to it.
When he came out from supper the
dog was still there and snapped at the
man. The farmer gave the dog kick
and knocked it off the porch. 1t seems
that the animal then went to the barn
where the boys were doing the evening
chores and noticing the dog they began
playing with it.
1t now develops that the dog bit one
of the cows on the nose, and also tried
to bite another COW. 1t then passed
behind one of the horses and snapped
at it. The horse, however, is rather
nervous and kicked the dog, breaking
its jaw. The boys then noticed that
the dog was vicious, and took several
pitchforks and drove the animal away.
Nothing has been seen or heard of it
since.
The foregoing facts took place while
Mr.. Southworth was i'll. and did not
come to his attention until last Mon
day, when upon returning from Gal
lipolis he found one Of the cows suffer-
ing with rabies. DR.. Brumpter was
called but nothing could be done for
the COW. Tuesday night another COW
became affected and both had to be
killed.
Mr.. Southworth has had all the sta
bles thoroughly cleaned and washed
with carbolic acid and is doing every
thing to prevent any further trouble.
One of the boys who played with the
dog says the animal made a lunge at
him and bit him just below the left eye.
A small scar remains but as the wound
healed nicely, it is not thought there
will be any serious results from it.
