IMPROVES SLOWLY.
Condition of Victor kauffm
One of the Victims Of the
Tunnel Disaster.

The condition OF Victor Kaufman,
the Canton victim Of the first Cleve-
land tunnel disaster, does not improve
as fast as his friends would like to
see. A recent letter from Cleveland
says that he is improving slowly and
that only at times is he rational and
that at other times he becomes quite
delirious SO that it is some times nec-
essary for him to be held in bed by
force. The physicians say that the
danger now lies in complications set
ting in, otherwise it viii only be a
question of time before he is conva-
lescent, though it may be long time
before he fully regains his strength.

BURNS SAID TO HAVE
PROPOSED PEACE PLAN.

Pittsburg. Aug 29.-Simon Burns,
president of the American Window
Glass Workers association and gen
eral master workman of the Knights
OF Labor, is credited with attempting
to secure peace by means of arbitra-
tion. The suggestion is made that
each contending side permit the trou.
BILE to be adjusted by two entirely dis.
interested parties, they to chose a
third. President .Shaffer is also cred
tied in the same statement with hav.
ing approved Of the method. 1t is

Seth Low as arbitrators.

ment that could be secured was fur
nished the children. They were given
boat rides. The merry-go-round was
kept busy giving them free trips
around its prescribed circuit. Atten-
tive teachers restrained them Cnly
when they reached the point of danger,
and IL ever a crowd had a good time
II was the little visitors.
There was no ceremony, no speaking,
no trammels during tho forenoon.
Dinner was served at IL o'clock. The
commissioners, court house employees
and number of kind-hearted women
from Canton constituted themselves
as walters and looked after the wants
Of not only the children but the en-
tire party. The dinner was dream
from Juvenile point Of view, and the
way the good things were tucked away
under the jackets of the children
would have made dyspeptic green
with envy. There was chicken, anu
pie, meats of all kinds, lemonade, ice
cream, bananas, all sorts of fruit, in
addition to the substantials. II there
were not some aches following the eat
ing, it will speak we'll of the physical
condition of the children. Every want
was satisfied, and after dinner the
crowd was turned loose again. Tho
smaller ones were not lined up to
listen to the speaking. What cared
they for all of the eloquence in the
world? There were
VOICES IN THE BREEZES,
a freedom in the grove, beauty in the
reflections in the lake that was more
than eloquence to them, and the man.
agement realized that and let them do
their own sweet will.
Ex-Mayor Rice, Mayor Robertson,
Rev. c. A. Hill and Father Treiber
were the speakers selected for the oc-
casion. The speaking did not begin
until about o'clock, and at 2:30 was
still in progress. 1t is impossible at
this time to give even an outline of
what was said, but the character of
the speakers was sufficient guarantee
that the auditors were well enter
| tanned.
/ The outing was success. The day
was pleasant one and all had good
time. It has been arranged to give
the visitors supper at o'clock and
they will leave for Alliance at 6.
Too much cannot be said for those
who made this days pleasure possible
for the children at the home. The cit
liens of Canton responded literally
with money and delicacies when called
upon and there are no regrets that
money and time were given. Commits

man. The spelling of the name in the
case of the Pittsburg man is correct,
while the Canton man spells his diff
ferently than it is in the dispatch.
Ever since the receipt Of the news
Mrs. Ohliger has been
FRUSTRATED WITH GRIEF
and her husband and friends have been
working over her to keep her from 60
ing into a complete collapse. Conrad
is their only son. He is idolized by
his parents. Every opportunity Was
given him for advancement in his
chosen profession. While in the
Philippines he has shown rare ability
and has been detailed to some difficult
work by reason of his success. Mr..
Ohliger displayed a number of the lat
est photographs Of him taken in his
uniform of white in the Philippines.
President Mckinley was seen and his
aid has been secured to ascertain the
truth. A dispatch from Washington
stated that there was but one DR.
Ohlinger in the service in the Philip
pines. In this the name is spelled
with an n. The initials were not given
nor any of the details of his enlist
ment, which are on file with the wal
depal tment.
Secretary Cortelyou told the friends
of DR.. Ohliger that the president ha5
ordered a cablegram sent to Manila
and that as soon as the facts were learn
ed the family would be notified.

Spent BY Children of
FaIrmount Home.
WITH TEARS OF JOY
Children Met Friends and Rela'
tives in the City-.Picnic
at the Lake--The
Speakers.

The children of the Fairmount home,
near Alliance, were the guests of Can
ton and the people of the county Wed
nesday. They come to Canton on the
8:05 Fort Wayne train in the morn
ing, and were met at the station by
the New Berlin band and large num-
Der Of citizens.
There were 102 children in the dele.
cation and 28 attendants, and the
scene was a touching one as the lit
tie tots filed off the train and formed
in line. They were all neatly dressed,
the boys in blue suits and the girls
in blue chambray. Some of the older
ones did not wear the regulation cos
tunes.
There was something pathetic in the
appearance of those little waits who
were objects Of public charity, and
there were
TEARS IN THE EYES
of some of the ladies in the throng
that surrounded the little visitors. No
one, however, could look upon the chill
dren, with their bright eyes and clear
compilations, without feeling thankful
that such a home has been provided
for those who would otherwise be liv-
ing possibly in squalor and want.
In the party were quite a number
Of Canton children. They were met
by parents or other relatives, and the
scenes in some instances were quite
affecting. There were smiles of
greeting and tears OF joy commingled,
and there was one elderly man who
followed along with a young girl who
seemed very dear to him. He stood
alongside of the car and talked to her
and both were in tears. Some of the
children were recognized by their erst.-
tations Of Hello, WILL and other
such greetings from the group of boys
and girls at the station.
The ages of the children ranged
from about to 1S. In the group was
one bright-eyed little colored girl She
seemed to be the
HAPPIEST OF THE LOT
and evidently enjoyed the distinction
of being the most decided brunette in
the entire delegation.
Commissioner Summer met the del
egation and Commissioner Johnson
came over on the same train with
them. The street car company had
provided extra cars to convey them
to the lake. They boarded the cars
and went to the square where they dis
embarked and were treated to ice
cream soda by William r. Zollinger
who gave them cheeks on a local drug
store. While the children were thus
refreshing themselves the New Berlin
band played a number of selec
tions. The band is composed of a
nice looking set of young men. They
were neatly uniformed and rendered
good music. The credit of having the
band present is due William H. Hoov
er, Of New Berlin, who at his own ex
pense secured the attendance of the
musicians.
At $3.50 the cars moved to the lake
After arriving there, the military pre-
cision which had characterized the
movement of the children was broken
and they were turned loose to have a
day Of
UNALLOYED PLEASURE.

Strong Hopes That Or.
Ohliger ls Alive.
A P|TTSBURG STORY
That Gives Rise to the Belief
--Parents Find Some
Comfort m Mother
Frustrated.

An article published in the Pitts
burg Dispatch Wednesday morning, has
given rise to hope in the minds Of the
parents and friends of DR.. Conrad Ohli-
ger, of this city, who, 1t is feared, was
drowned by the swamping of boat in
the Pamjuban river, Philippine Islands.
The name of the surgeon reported
drowned is spelled Ohlinger not Oh
Tiger, in the dispatch from Manila.
A surgeon by that name is in the SER
vice from Pittsburg, and his friends
there are apprehensive, as are the
friends of Conrad Ohliger in Canton.
The al ticle in the Pittsburg Dispatch
is as follows:
The brief cablegram received at
Washington, from Manila in which IL
was stated that DR.. Ohlinger, a re-
turning contract surgeon had been
drowned in the Pambujan river through
the swamping of boat is causing
MUCH ANXIETY
to the friends of DR.. Lorine B. Ohlin-
ger of this city, and they are anxious
| ly waiting an answer to a telegram sent
to Washington, asking for further in
| formation on the subject. DR.. w. G..
| Adair of Arch street, Allegheny, and
other personal friends of DIR. Lorine b.
Ohlinger are hoping that the message
may not refer TO the Pittsbulg man,
as there is possibility that there may

name of Ohlinger in the Philippines.
| The last communication from DR.. Oh
linger of this city, so far as known,
is one received about two months ago
by DR.. Adair. DR.. Ohlinger had been
invalided at the time, and was
THEN RECUPERATING
at the Fort Bayard hospital, New Mex
leo. In the letter he stated that ne
expected to be sent to Manila in a short
time. Later DR.. Adair received notifi-
cation through the Allegheny arsenal
to forward belongings of DR.. Ohlingel
that had been stored here. 1t was
supposed then by all of DR.. Ohlinger's
friends that he expected to leave Fort
Bayard and return to the Philippines
The fact that the cable message speaks
of returning contract surgeon is ex.
pected by all to mean that it Is the
brave Pittsburger who has been drown.
ed.
Times reporter took the article
from the Dispatch to the home of Louis
B. Ohliger, the father of the young
man who, it is feared, was drowned
telling him that there was
STRONG POSSIBILITY
that it was the Pittsburg man and not
his son who had lost his life in that
far off land.
Mr.. Ohliger was not able to read the
article, owing to his agitation, and il
was read to him and his wife. While
still apprehensive of the worst, the
story from Pittsburg has given then
strong reason for hope.
The dispatch announcing the death
of DR.. Ohlinger stated that he was re
turning army surgeon. Conrad Ohli
ger has been in the Philippines over {
year. He left here in March of 1906
and arrived there about two months
later. About week ago a friend re-
ceived letter from him saying thai
he was going into the mountain dis
tricts for three months, and it looks
as though it were almost impossibl,
that he could have been designated {
returned army surgeon. The descrip
tion much better fits the Pittsburf

SULTAN is READY
TO FIGHT FRANCE

Vienna, Aug. 2S.-The sultan of Tur-
key is in fighting mood. He is pre-.
pairing to defend his seaports, and has
ordered German guns with which to
command harbor approaches and has
given directions to have harbors at
Salonica and other seaport towns min
ed and made ready to resist the en-
trance of hostile fleet. He has de-

clared that he is ready to face war with
France, and is evidently of the opinion
that France will not be allowed to go
very far till called by some other ma
ton. He is planning his defenses night
and day, and has been quietly at work
on them for some time. 1t is now up
to France to decide what action will
be taken, for the position of the sultan
is def that cannot be overlooked.

Allie Walters, the Canton horseman,
is at Toledo this week. He got into
fast fields Wednesday, and the best he
could do was to land third with Little
Frank.
A number of Canton horsemen are
attending the Youngstown races, but
there are no local horses in the races,
which have so far proved to be rather
tame.

socialism at frightful pace. These con-
illusions are established by the business
combinations known as trusts, which dom
mate our commercial affairs and destroy
individual enterprise, and the powerful in
centive to appropriate by legislation the
savings of the few for the comfort and
pleasure of the many. Our national, state
and municipal legislative bodies are flooded
rights in property and appropriate its value
to corporate greed or public uses. II is
a sad commentary on the blessings of free
government that its privileges are being
appropriated to public plunder-unre-
strained license to take from the frugal

cities the ownership of real estate is 10
longer a free and simple title, but rather
a tenantry at WILL subject to lie action of
some board of public works without appeal

evitable breeder of tax-eaters and public
plunderers. They see the spoil, and the
door of our legislative bodies opens Ii to
them. Constitutional safeguards, once
