All these things combine to make good

That is the sentiment, let the good work

The "Legalized Evil" of selling intoxi-

are doing more harm every day than

Whether the government will do so or

Weayersville, Cal. and had interests In

his death, and had intended to walk
to Weaverville. a storm came up and
on the way he met postman, who was
unable to take him as he was on horse
back, but on returning brought him q
saddled horse. About half way between
Weaverville and Hay Fork they again
met. Mr.. Vautier took the saddied
horse and continued his journey toward
Weaverville. The next morning the
postman found Mr.. Vautier's lifeless
body as above stated. AS to what be-
came of the horse no information Is
given in the letter, which was written
by Mrs. Post, of Junction City, Cal,
daughter of the deceased.
Joseph Vautier was II years Of age ut
the time of his death. He left Louisville
for the west when IA years old, but
frequently returned to visit his rela-

here. He was reputed to be very

1t was only a year ago that Mr.. Vau-

ago, but two daughters. Mrs. Post and

any form. Gods word, with all laws
that are for the uplifting Of our race,
condemn the destruction of life, and the
degrading Of morals; and liquor selling
for beverage purposes does both.
We therefore rejoice with the Chicago
Record, that the canteen has been driy
en- out of our foreign armies and hop,
the day is not far distant when
we can rejoice that all forms of liquo
selling for beverage purposes have beer
driven out of all our newly acquire;
territory; and above all, out of the ma
tional capitol and the whole Unite
States; then shall we be indeed unite,
and prosperous people.
To this end every loyal citizen of ever:
party, and creed, should bind thei
energies and consecrate their lives. Tho
first obligation resting at the doors o
the voters of Ohio, will be to unite 70
the reappeal of the Dow liquor law
whereby the saloons in our state oil
tain legal existence. This great re
sponsibility rests on the shoulders
the loyal voters in our state, withou
regard TO sect or party. Patriotisl
and sobriety should be our watct
word, and perform this loyal duty with
out regard to any political party. Goo.
citizenship is a higher obligation upo
all men, than loyalty to any polite;
party.

Mansfield, Feb. 2.--The designations Of
six of the guards at the Ohio REFORM
atory went into effect Friday at the in
stitution, their designations having been
requested little over a week ago in

The guards whose relations with the re-

Redrup, j. +. Van Allen, Samuel Free,
F. c. Darr, Albert N. Shaw and George
Batten. 1t is explained that it was not
because of anything against these per-

reduce the force OF guards al the institu-
ton, that the designations were request
ed. Messrs. Redrup and Free are old
soldiers and the former has been con-

Telegram Reaches the City Announcing
Prominent Citizens Demise.
Was HIGHLY ESTEEMED
BY CANTON PEOPLE
Left a Short Time Since for
Southern Arizona But Could
Not Recover His Health
That Had Failed.

Mr.. Paul d. Rider, Saturday morn
ing, received a telegram stating that
Edward s. Raft had died in southern
Arizona. No details were received.
The telegram was from Mr.. Raff's
mother.
Several years ago Mr.. Raft severed
his connection with the Central Savings
bank on account of Ill health and had
been trying ever since to find some
means OF restoring his health. He
finally went 10 southern Arizona in thu
hope that he would be benefited there.
Edward S. Raft was one of the most
prominent of Canton citizens. He was
loyal Democrat and was the candidate
of his party for congress a few years
since. He was prominent in social and
financial circles and few men were held
in higher esteem by the business public.
He was for some years president Of
the Democrat Publishing company
and was pI resident Of the Central Saw
ings bank, up to n short while ago.
He held several positions of trust,
that were always discharged with ex-
ceptional care and ability and was en-
terprising as a citizen aiding all lauda-
BILE interests. He will be seriously miss
ed by the business interests of the city
and by wide acquaintanceship. Mr..
Raft was about AZ years Of age. He
succeeded his father in the banking
business, and only relinquished it when
his health would no longer permit his
connection with business. He is sur
vived by his mother and brother Nor
man Raft, who reside at the beautiful
suburban RAN home, Edgewood.
His father was Geo. w. RAN, an old
and substantial citizen, the first probate
Judge in Stark county, who was elected
in 1851.
