General Manager Richard 7. Lafi1n
and Treasurer j. w Lester made a
trip over the property to see what 1t
looked like. with a view toward pur-
chasing it. 1t is understood that the

a proposition to the Consolidated com
penv- looking toward sale, ana an
inventory of the country road mas
been made and will be submitted to
the directors at the next meeting. The
matter was informally discussed at the

CHAFFEE'S DISPATCH
Leaves No Doubt as to Fate
Of the Young Canton
Surgeon in the
Philippines.

The very worst has come true with
regard to Cantons promising young
physician, Conn r. Ohliger. The fol-
lowing dispatch leaves no doubt that
he was drowned:
Contract Surgeon Conn r. Ohliger,
returning from a scout at Fambusan,
island of Samar, was drowned by the
swapping of the boat August 20, in
Pambujan river. Have not recovered
the body. Chaffee."
DIR. Ohliger was the only child OF
Lewis B. Ohliger, and everything had
been don by him to fit him for his
profession. He had advanced very
rapidly in the short time that he was
in the PHILIPPINES, having been detailed
frequently to perform responsible
duties. He left Canton for the islands
in March, 1900.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ohliger will have the
sincere sympathy of all the citizens Of
Canton.

Mrs. Mckinley, the Misses Barber

the presidents train as 1t passed

As the train flashed past the front "a

Of the president.
About $50 the blowing OF whistles

Of the train.
A few minutes later President Nc.

A great cheer went up from the thou
sands who caught glimpse of the
party, and 1t was taken up and re
echoed by the others farther back,
who, although they could not see the
president, knew what the cheering
meant. President Mckinley, with

was drawn by four handsome bays.
II was with difficulty that the police
kept a passageway clear for the car
riages, which proceeded slowly to.
ward the Lincoln Parkway entrance.
Cheer after cheer went up from the
vast throng. The president acknowl-
edged the salutations of the crowd

Mckinley, who looked remarkably
well after the tiresome journey, also
smiled happily.
The carriages paused for a moment

CROP BULLETIN.
Il Shows Heavy Precipitation
In Eastern Ohio Last
Week.
From a Stan Correspondent.

From a STAFF Correspondent.
Columbus, Sept. 4.-The weekly cli-
mate and crop bulletin, prepared by
the weather bureau, shows that the
precipitation last week was quite
heavy in eastern Ohio, and that some
damage resulted from water and high
winds. Hail fell in lake counties.
Early corn is being cut in the west and
south and will be safe from frost BY
September 10. Late corn is flourish
ing and will be safe from frost until
near the close of the month. Tobacco
continues to improve. Late potatoes
show improvement in north, but are
poor in central and southern sections.
Wheat outlook is good. Glover crop
will be fair. Peaches and pears are
promising, but apples are uncertain.
Grapes are rotting and the punches
are smaller than usual. Turnips. gar.
dens and tomatoes made good growth
during the week. The precipitation in
the Canton district was 0.34 inches.

WHEELINC'S EARNINGS.
Largest Gain In August In the
History of That
Road,

While the figures are not obtainable
the understanding is very strong in
financial circles that the Wheeling and
Lake Erie, during the month Of Au-
gust, earned more money. and made
larger gain over the same month Of the
preceding year than during any other
month in it's history. In fact, the ap-
proximate estimate is that the Wheel
ing increased it's August earnings by
$4,000 over the same month a year
ago. This statement is considered the
more significant when it is recalled
that the business during August Of
1900 was extraordinarily heavy, bar
ring the movement Of certain iron and
steel products, in which the Wheeling
is not vitally interested.

To Unlonize CoIum blana
and Belmont Mines.
IMPORTANT DECISION
Rendered BY Judge Dick Of CO.
lum bus Relative to Con-
stitutionaIity Of .
State Law.
From a Staff Correspondent.

From Stan Correspondent.
Columbus, Sept. 4.-The executive
committee of the United Mine Workers
has been ordered to meet in this city
on Wednesday to take further cogni-
zance of the strike situation in Colnm-
biana and Belmont counties. Robert
Legg, of East Greenville, Stark coun-
ty, and james Mckee, of Salinevilie,
Columbiana county, are members OF
the committee. The trouble in Bel.
mont county is at the Empire coal
mines, where the organization is being
strongly antagonized. 1t is proposed
to wage
A STIFF FIGHT
against the company and unionize. If
possible, the mines. It is not known
what move will be made in the Colupl.
biana county strike. Everything has
been at a standstill at the mines since
the trouble began.
A decision has just been rendered
by Judge Dick, of this city, which is
of great Importance to organized labor.
1t is in the case of Ohio against Chas.
Wolfe, of the Wolfe Manufacturing
company. Frank Meacham, an en-
ploye of the company, filed affidavit
that he had been discharged from the
employ of the company because he had
JOINED A LABOR UNION.
There is statute which forbids the
dismissal of employees for the reason
stated, and the defendant company
sought to establish the unconstitution.
ality of the law.
Judge Dicks ruling is to the effect
that the law is sound The petition OF
the state was deficient in one respect
it failed to specify that crime had
been committed; but this omission will
be remedied in an amended affidavit
which will be submitted. There can
be no conviction unless this step Is
taken.
The state is now very prosperous
and has nearly two million dollars in
its strong box. At the close OF bust
ness Saturday Treasurer Cameron re
ported the funds on hands as follows,
Univertisity fund, $174,567.27; revenue
fund, $1,427,625.79; sinking fund
si5s,9sS,77; common school fund
Sis, 9,992.O2; total, $1,8S1,1S3,S5. This
is the largest sum which has been in
the treasury for some time.
