OPENED NEW ROOMS.


served at His Museum.
The S0th birthday of Henry L. Sheldon
came around last Thursday, the 18th,
and was suitable occasion for a gather
ing at the rooms Of the Sheldon Art Mu
scum. 1t being the first year of the new
century gave Ii an additional feature. a
new suite Of rooms on the north side of
the hall, opposite Mr.. SheldOn's office,
have been recently fitted up especially
for Vermont books and papers and were
opened to the public for the first time on
this occasion, being brilliantly lighted
with electric and other lamps. The
north wall of the front room contains
fine collection of Vermont marble. ex-
tending from the floor to the ceiling.
The lower half is a carved mantel of Jet
black marble from Larrabee's Point.
Above is a tablet of dove. .colored marble
taken from the bed of the creek Just
above the stone bridge IN this village.
Its lettering shows the ancestry of the
Sheldon family in the maternal line to
John Alden, the Pilgrim. The borders of
the tablet are of the red clouded marble
of Mallett's Bay. The corners are of dark
mOliltu lldTDIe from tTOWD II IOluI. III
the centennial line the rooms were
replete with old furniture, tables, chairs,
crOckery, lamps and candles, the latter TO
show the contrast with the electric
lighting of today. Portraits were hang

a hundred years ago.

ity of four of ordinary size and formerly
owned by well known citizen of this
place more than one hundred years ago.
What Mr.. Sheldon has accomplished in
the collection of books, pamphlets, pa
pers, pictures. relics and curios of infinite
variety can be appreciated only by a
visit TO the Museum; and In spite of his
50 years he still is as alert as ever in the
search for further material for the repos-
itOry which so rightfullv bears his name.
Already the historical feature of the
place is Of great value and with the pass
ing years it will grow apace.

A DOUBLE TRACK.
m prove me nts to BE Made on
the Akron Divis on of
the 3. e. O

Akron, Sept. 6.-The Akron division
Of the b. & o. is to be overhauled and
put in first-class condition. The i'm
provement is to be one of the most i'm
pUrtant ever made in this vicinity on
az established line, as a part of the
general plan is to double track the diyi-
sion throughout its entire length from
this city to Chicago Junction.
The division is one of the most i'm
portant in the B. e. o. system west of
Pittsburg, and the traffic over it has
been so heavy that the improvement
has become necessity. The b. & O..
line west from this point is fed by
both the p. & w. and the c. T. G v.
and the two roads have been contribut-
ing strongly to the congestion of traf-
fic that has made the Improvement ne
cessary.
The improvement will cost $40 ,0O0,-

for the work.

Sympathy Expressions
On All Sides.
SHOCK TO THE CITY
The Streets Are Thronsed With
People Seeking the Latest
Inform alton Concern
ing the President.

The tidings Of President McK.nleys
assassination were received BY Canto-
mans with the gretest CONSERVATION.
They seemed too dazed to realize that
their old felow-townsman should have
been shot at time of such general
good feeling in the country.
Like a thunderbolt out OF clear
sky the news came, and each citizen
as he heard it rushed to the nearest
place to get information, and as long
AS there was any chance to hear re-
port, he staid.
Until after midnight groups of peo-
pie stood on the street corners talk
ing Of the dastardly crime and waited
for
SOME HOPEFUL SIGN
from Buffalo. The news spread like
wildfre over the city, 1t seemed as
though every resident of Canton knew
of the assassination 80 minutes after
the word came. 1t was known at the
fair grounds almost as soon as it was
known in town, and as each car came
in the returning sjghtseers leaped off
the car and crowded around places of
information.
The crowds wherever they assem-.
bled were not noisy in their demon
stration of hatred for the man who
committed the crime. The news
seemed to strike too deeply for that.
All expressed their feelings freely
but it was not necessary to listen to
them to gain a knowledge Of their
thoughts. They could be read on the
faces. Everyone seemed to wonder
how such crime had been committed
without the man paying the penalty
upon the spot.
EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY
for Mrs. Mckinley were heard upon
every side, and questions as to how
she would take it and whether she had
heard of it were, repeated again and
again. The people seemed to fear
that she would not survive the shock
when the news of the shooting was
made known to her.
AZ a idlS Houl plIudy IlSul lilS pSu-
pie began to go home feeling that no
more information of Importance would
be received. 1t was believed that the
presidents constitution which has
borne so we'll his many years of public
service would aid him in his
BATTLE FOR LIFE.
The streets were thronged with
people hungry for news from the mo-.
ment of the first dispatch until late at
night. In parts of the town the streets
were blockaded with people on foot
and in carriages. When the first news
came people rushed from their homes
and their stores to the centers Of infor-
nation. Many of them did not go
home, but patiently waited without
thought Of hunger through their din.
ner hour. 1t was not until late at
night that the crowds began to thin
out and people commenced to leave
for their homes. In and out through
the crowds the news boys ran shout
ing Extra" and their papers were
greatly sought for.

Cleveland, Sept. Tt was shortly
after O'Clock yesterday afternoon
when the news was broken to Mr.. Nc

just reached his home at No. 5S Bell
avenue when he was notified from his
Office of the attempted assassination.
The news was read at his Office in the
special edition of a newspaper, and the
Office was called up for verification of
tie report and further information be-
fore the sad tidings were telephoned to
the presidents nephew. Mr.. Duncan
was horrorstruck.
He hurried to the home of his moth
er, and gently as possible acquainted
the two sisters of the president of the
terrible happening. Tears were shed,

and showed much bravery, They had
both feared an attempt upon the life
Of their brother, and their fears were
at last awfully realized.
Nothing about the small pretty house
indicated that it was the home of the
presidents nearest relatives or of the
great sorrow being suffered within.
The door stood open and rugs and easy
chairs were on the porch.
1t was hard for the ladies to obtain
, news of the attempted assassination
They sat within the house, patiently
waiting. They knew that their brother
had been shot in the breast and abdo-
men, but they could learn nothing of
his condition. They knew not whether
he was dead or living. The whole
United States was appraised of the sad
affair before news reached their home
in the East End. At last, at about G
o'clock, Mr.. VIII Duncan received word
that the president was resting quietly
and would probably recover. The news
was received with Joy, as II was shout

the door of his mothers home.
Miss Sarah Duncan, the daughter of
the presidents sister, is with the Nc
Kinley party in Buffalo. She boarded
the special train taking the president,
Mrs Mckinley and several friends to
the Pan-American exposition, at the
Union depot just as it was about to
leave. Mr.. Will Duncan left for the
bedside of his uncle early last evening.
Mrs. Duncan and Miss Mckinley also
went 10 Buffalo on Colonel Herricks

Lake Shore railway train which left
here at 7:40 o'clock.

TIE LIVE STOCK FEATURE
WILL BE IMMENSE.
The Display at the Coming West vir.
ginia State Fair Will Be Large
and Unique.

There's going to be lots of fun at the
twenty first annual fair and exposition
of the West Virginia society, at the
Wheeling grounds, but there will be
something else. We're going to talk
to our farmer readers short time
about live stock.
The management has arranged for
and has received entries ensuring alb
solutely the greatest live stock show
ever seen in this part of the country.
Several months ago the heads of de-
partments, and Secretary George Hook,
determined to make this feature a rec
ord breaker and to present to the pat
rops of the association something far
beyond anything heretofore attempted,
and their desires and efforts were
heartily reciprocated by owners and
breeders of the finest stock in many
states. Horses, cattle, sheep and swine
are included in the scope Of this depart
ment, and of the list of entries for the
increased list of prizes offered make
success assured. 1t will be an aggrega-
tion such as no farmer among our
constituency can afford to miss, and
will afford an opportunity for observa-
tion and the gaining of information
that could not otherwise be secured
without the expediture of hundreds Of
dollars and weeks of time. We sim
cerely hope that advantage will be TAX
en- OF this unusual chance.
OF the fair generally, 1t may be said
that all past records will be far surpass-
ed. 1t will be continued by night as
we'll as by day, with list of attractions
at least twice as large as any hereto
fore given, and all free to the patrons
OF the enterprise. At night the entire
grounds will be brilliantly lighted by
electricity, and racing, etc., will go on
as in daylight. Reduced rates on all
railroads ensure a cheap and most sat
isfnctory period of relaxation from work
ana care. Go to Wheeling next week,
by all means.

Long Lost Daughter Is
Found at Last.
THE FATHERS SEARCH
Extended Over q Period of
Several Years--A Fam
ily Reunion In
Canton.

For II years William Stricker, OF sol
Lincoln avenue, searched the country
over to find a trace of his daughter and
1t was not until Thursday evening that
he was able to bring her with his other
children under one roof. Wednesday
received a letter from her at Mineral
Point, and with Lis eldest daughter he
went Immediately to the place and re-
tarned with her to the home Of his
daughter, Mrs. Rice, of 1121 Franklin
street Now he and his family are hold
Ing family reunion without one men,
ber missing, save the mother who died
two years before the child was lost
The story of the disappearance Of the
child and her remarkable recovery
reads
LIKE A ROMANCE.
Nineteen years ago William Stricken
with his wife and six children were liv-
ing happily together at Mineral Point.
They had come over from Germany but
a short time before. The five children
were all born in that country, but after
they moved to Mineral Point the sixth
child, Gertrude, was born. Two years
later the mother died, and the grief
stricken father being unable to take
the proper care, himself, of his large
family, put them all in Hle orphan asy-
lum at Canal Dover. Shortly after this
tho youngest child was adopted by a
Mr.. and Mrs. Browning. Since that un-
til the letter was received on Wednes-
day nothing was heard by the father
of the whereabouts Of his child. Later
he remarked and was again able to
have his children about them. This he
did with the exception of the youngest
daughter. The name of her adopted
parents was known by the father, but
they seemed to wander over the coun-
try and apparently did not want him
to find them. AS his other children
grew up they also joined in the search.
BUT TO NO AVAIL.
Gertrude Stricken, the lost daughter,
was given the name of her adopted par
exits and was kept in ignorance that she
was other than their true child. Sh.
never was told that he: mother WAS
dead nor that she had any brothers an !
sisters. Last winter in January she
met and married j. S. Hite. Her adopt
ell parents had at this time moved to
DeEnison, o., short time ago
she, with her husband, moved to
Mineral Point, the place of her birch
and Of her mothers death. This she,
OF course, did not know. A week ago
her adopted mother wrote to her and
tcld her that she was living in the place
OF her birth and that she had father
and brother and sisters living. Upon
this meagre hint she set to work to find
them. With the aid of her own photo
graph and diligent search and question
ing on the part of her husband the
name of her father was learned and
that he was living in Canton. She
wrote him and he replied by coming in
person to her home.
The reunited family can scarcely rea-
lize that they are once more together
and that the little sister whom they
had not seen for so many. years is once
more with them.
