TWIN TROUBLES.
They Are often Together These Days.
They Work Havoc All Over the
Country and In Canton.


Weak, nervous, the digestion out
of order, that is what ails host of
of people. It comes about in this way:
First, from overwork or other causes
the nerves are burdened beyond en-
durance, nerve waste is not replaced,
nerve force is weakened, then stomach
loses its nerve controlling power and in
digestion follows with failing strength.
When first DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills came to Canton, people could hard
ly be convinced that this great medi-
cine would remove these troubles.
Now 1t is an accepted fact because Of
their cure of very stubborn cases no
other medicine would influence.
Mrs. X. Delanthy, of No. 924 Lafay-
cite street, Canton, Ohio, says. my
trouble was weakness of digestion,
a nervous dyspepsia, food digestei
slowly, gas formed and food rested
heavy after eating. This made me ner-
nous. went to M. A. Fishers drug
store and got DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills by advise and they are fine. They
strengthened the stomach and diges-
ton SO that the food digested well, no
gas forms and no distress. Since the
change occurred the nerves are in good
shape. / am very glad to recommend
the medicine

No Session of Ward Schools
Monday Afternoon--A Short
Session in High School.

No school was held in the ward
schools, Monday afternoon, but in the
high school a short session was held
from / o'clock to 1880. During this
time the pupils decided on what course
they would take during this year. There
are great many elective studies in tn
different courses at present and quite
a good deal of time was taken by the
pupils in picking what studies they
wished to pursue. 1t is required in all
Of the elective studies to have ten pu-

One of the surprising features OF
the school opening is the large num-

school. The freshmen class will be a

A Sensation In Fridays
Trotting Race.
THE DRIVER CHANGED
On Billy Georse--Attempt to
Break Up tho Combina.
tion But II Wont
Through.

The racing Friday afternoon while
not fast, furnished the only real sen.
sation that occurred during the fair.
The fair management had hung up q
$3.50 purse in each of the two events,
and the judges were Of the opinion
that the drivers should go out and
give a race for the money instead Of
fixing up a slate to save themselves
records and divide the money up to
suit themselves. They took sum-
mary action and while the original
slate went through there was horse
race in at least two of the heats.
The first event was the 2:25 race.
Alvina Wilkes had the speed Of the
party and won with apparent ease,
Wedding Chimes, driven by Callen-
dine, Of Minerva, was second. In
every heat the horses finished in the
same order, and all apparently were
doing their best except the wianer.
The 2:25 trot was what furnished
the fun. 1t was not o'clock when
it started and the last heat was run
when it was too dark to see the horses
on the back stretch.
Roxy, the gray gelding from Mas
sillon, owned by d. 7. Evans, was in
the race, and it was evidently fixed
that he should win. He had started in
the mixed race on Wednesday and the
best he could do was to get fourth
money. In Fridays race he won the
first two heats in slow time, and 1t be-
came evident to the judges that 1t was
strong lines and muscular arms that
were interfering with the speed of
Billy George and Elyroyd. They
called the drivers up to the stand and
told them that if they did not go olt
and race it would cost them $50 each,
so the next heat they made pretense
at driving. They left the gray in the
rear, and Elroyd won the heat, with
Billy George under a strong pull. In
the next heat the driver OF Billy
George was taken down and David
Bost put up with instructions to win.
The result was that Billy George won
the next two heats. When the last
heat was called 1t was dark. Patrols
were placed around the track and the
horses started. Billy George made a
break on the turn and fell back
When the horses finished, the gray
Roxy was in the lead and won the
race. This was the original slate. but
Billy George and Elyruyd were both
marked so low that they will hereafter
start in the $3.50 class. No fines were
imposed, but the driver that was put
up was paid ont Of Billy Georges
winnings.
