to be startling in its life-like appear

PRESERVED THE VERDICT.

Sandusky, o., Nov. 25.--The circuit
court has reversed the lower court In
the case Of David Wingett, convicted
of the murder of Frederick Blancke,
and ordered new trial. Wingett,
who is an old soldier, killed Blancke
about two years ago and has been
twice tried and convicted. Self-defense
was urged, and the ground of the new
trial was that certain testimony show
ing threats by Blancke had been ruled
out. Every effort is being made by
prominent G. A. R. men to save Win
gett from the chair. He killed a COL
ored man some years ago and now
sympathy is against him.

to be used to convict Q woman Of q
crime involving her life.
The limbs of the body are wired,
like those of skeleton, SO that 1t
can be made to act and assume any
position possible In a human being.
Mrs. Bonine is to sit and witness a
court employe struggle with duplicate
of the man whose death is charged to
her. Revolver in hand, the trained as
sistant will wrestle with the writhing
figure, and will attempt to demonstrate
how the fatal shots were fired.
Such proposition is revolving in its
cruelty. The court Official who plan
ned these horrors might be brought
to realization of the enormity of his
offense against humanity and decency
if the frail woman whom he has chosen
for his victim-and who claims she
shot the man in defense of the honor
of herself and her little children
should become raving, hopelessly in
sane as she sat in the court room.

CANToN's OPPORTUNITY.

Canton now has her opportunity to
show what the townspeople of the late
president are willing to do toward the
proposed Mckinley memorial.
One dollar per capita is the mark
the Memorial Auxiliary board has set.
That will be about $4,000 as Canton s
contribution. There is a month in
which to secure the subscriptions.
But Mayor Robertson has grouped
about him for the work a most able
committee. The money will be forth
coming. Canton herself, with her
wealth and civic pride, will set the pace
for the cities of Ohio in the raising of
the fund for a monument to the late
president.

Massillon School Board
Has Its Own Idea.
M'K|NLEY MEMORIAL
Contributions on the Part Of
the School Children Dis
cussed--MassiIIon's
Loyalty.

A regular meeting of the Massillon
board Of education was held Friday
evening. Two ladies and two gentle
men, in addition to Supt- Jones, were
present. The meeting was devoid of
any enlivening features such as occa-
sionally come up in such bodies.
Supt. Jones said he had received
from w. T. Harris, United States COM
missioner of education, a statement
that the National Mckinley Memorial
Arch association proposed to erect in
Washington a suitable memorial to
the late president by popular subscrip-
tion. The letter from Washington in
timated that the schooi children would
be given an opportunity to contribute
and asked that the names of those so
doing be kept with the amount contri-
buted, the whole to be sent to Wash
ington for the purpose of preservation.
LOYAL TO STARK.
To Mr.. Harris, Supt. Jones replied
that Massillon would rather contribute
to a monument in Canton, for obvious
reasons.
Further communication that Mr..
Jones had with the National Mckinley
Memorial association, the purpose Of
which Is to erect monument in Can
ton, drew the thanks from that body
for Massillon's loyalty to the home Of
the president and to Stark county. This
association is willing to allow any sur
plus which may accumulate over what
is absolutely necessary to erect mon
ument in Canton, to go to the fund for
the Washington project.
Supt. Jones in mild way chided the
people having the Canton project in
view, for their laggardness in allowing
the Washington people to get ahead
of them in this matter dear to hearts
of Ohioans more than to any others.
He thought the school children would
contribute to the Canton fund with
great liberality. When the work OF
organizing the teachers Of the counties
of the state is completed then will be
time enough to start the contributions.
This will be soon. At that time the
local board will be Obliged to suspend
the resolution forbidding collections
being taken up in the schools for this
exceptional and particular case.
Supt. Jones summed up the opinion
OF all Massillonians when he said: "All
our contributions should go to Can
ton"
ONLY ASK THE SURPLUS.
1t is understood that the Washington
people do not draw the line on the
Canton movement but they would like
to have the surplus after the monument,
fitting In every way, is erected, grant
ing the fund is not completely exhaust
ed.
Mr.. Johns, member of the board,
suggested that there appeared to be
considerable friction between the two
national organizations having in view
the erection Of Mckinley memorials.
He thought there was a move on at
Washington to boom some real estate
under the guise Of patriotism.
After some slight attention to trivial
matters the board adjourned to meet
again the second Friday in December.

Canton With a Fence Around 1t.

The attitude OF the News-Democrat
in refusing to permit its columns to
be controlled through the fear of with
drawal of patronage has met with
popular accord among the citizens of
Canton. Referring to the matter a
prominent Canton gentleman has writ
ten the News-Democrat as follows:
Canton for a long time has needed
resent the people. What is few dol
lars revenue from a few individuals,
compared with that of the thousands
OF people who maintain paper by their
subscription? The News-Democrat is
taking the right course in refusing
to close it's columns to any legitimate
advertiser. The days for Canton with
a fence around it have gone by. Live
people with live methods may shake
the bones of the fossilized element Of
the place, but it will be for that ele-
ment's own good, if the fossils but
waken up and do business on a bust
ness basis"
1t is safe to say that nine out of ten
people in Canton endorse these SEN
timents. The News-Democrat is proul
OF the distinction OF being the only
newspaper in Canton whose advertis-
ing columns are not controlled by a
combination of merchants who are
banded together for the sole purpose
OF preventing cut price competition.

pEEpINa TOMS IN AKRON.

Akron. O., Nov. 25.-There seems to
be an epidemic Of "Peeping Toms" In
Akron. Last week a man was reported
to the police as having been around
North High street at night looking into
windows. Now 1t is claimed that on
West Hill residents are being annoyed.
Several times lately they have been
accosted In an insulting manner, but
the offenders have escaped before their
Identity could be learned. 1t II believ-
ed that there are other cases in the
city which have not been reported
through fear OF publicity.

Democratic Managers
Are Jealous.
Gen. Dick Is Fixing His
Fences.
Reports of Opposition In Parts of
the District.

Columbus, o., Aug. 16.-A prominent
caller at Democratic State headquar-
ters yesterday looked into every detail
of the work planned. His verdict was
that not for years had he seen the
Democratic committee take hold of the
work so Systematically as 1t is doing
this year.
Secretary Gillian may be new as
State manager and may lack acquaint-
ance with the State leaders, but he
has ideas and they are good ones, and
more than that, he is putting them to
account" the speaker continued.
Il do not see what more could be
done in the campaign at this time than
is being done. l was surprised to see
the business-like manner In which the
work is being conducted and the peo-
pie who were afraid that the party has
made a serious mistake by the selec-
ton of DR.. Gillian and Chairman
Daugherty will be agreeably surprised
If they investigate"
As a rule the Republicans content
themselves with charging the Demo-
Gratis with trying to make capital out
of strikes and labor troubles, and by
making such wholesale accusations the
party managers accomplish two pur-
poses, one the collection of large sums
of campaign money from the en-
ployers with whom they sympathize,
and next they secure the support of
the unsuspecting public who dislike
labor troubles and who are made to
believe that all this fuss is the result
