Two Residences in the
City Entered.
POCKET BOOK TAKEN
West Fourth Street and Norts,
Cleveland Avenue Resi-
denees Entered Dur
ing Day Time.

The residence of G. ID. Gardner, ON
West South street, was entered by a
sneak thief Thursday afternoon about
2 o'clock He took three pocketboOks
containing 81 in money and a certif.
cate of deposit on the George ID. Harter
bank for sl67. The thief must have
gone in at the front door. Just as he
got on the porch Mr.. Gardner's daugh-
ter came down stairs and he turned
to her and asked her some questions
and appeared very nervous. she did
not know of the theft at the time, but
she gave very accurate description
of him, which the police say cores
ponds with the fellow who burglar
lied the Miller residence early in the
week.
A thief entered the residence of Mrs.
S. II. Bowers, OF North Cleveland
avenue, Friday afternoon, and stole
her pocketbook. She had just return
ed from shopping and bad put her
pockethook in the drawer of the side
board and was sitting on the front
porch. She heard the little dog bark
ing, but paid no attention to it and she
supposes that the theft was committed
at that time, which was about o'clock.
The pocketbOok contained S22. some
change and securities on banks in the
city for about $1,000. She has notified
the banks not to pay the securities IL
presented. One of them comes due
next week.
The thief got into the house through
the back door, Mrs. Bowers thinks
the party was either in the house when
she came home or saw her put the
pocketbook away, or knew where she
generally kept it.

The Frice Of Peaches So
.. Characterised.
ARE ROBBED
While Hundreds Of Bushels Are
Rottine For the Want Of
Buyers--A Citizens
Views.

"The price that Canton people are
compelled to pay for pearhes is an
outrage said prominent citizen Sat
urday morning, after he had paid 40
cents for peck of good fruit, which
however, showed some effects of hav-
ing been in the baskets too long.
Il notice that all over the country
there is a surplus of peaches. and
growers are not able to get market
for them at any price, yet here in
Canton through the schemes tf some
one or some organization people are
compelled to pay from a dollar to a
dollar and a half for anything like a
good grade of fruit. ! repeat, that the
thing is an outrage, and | wish some
one would send out through the coun-
try and buy a lot of peaches and so
FLOOD THE MARKET
that there would be no more sold at
these robber prices. 1t amounts to ex
actly that-it is downright robbery.
'This is year of plenty so far as
peaches are concerned, but what ben
eft is it to us people in Canton? There
is little other fruit, and people should
be putting up peaches by the bushel
to prepare for winter and a possible
shortage in the year that Is 10 follow.
But how can one pay $1.5O q bushcl
and put them up with profit? 1t would
be cheaper to buy them at the stores,
and guess that Is one of the reasons
they are kept ur so high.
"The farms near Canton cannot fur
nish the supply needed, and hat are
shipped in here are cornered and the
price is fixed to suit the dealers that
handle them. Talk about trusts, this
is one that is just now reaching into
the pockets of the common people
Why, the poor people of this city are
NOT EATING PEACHES.
They are famishing for them in the
midst of plenty. 1t is nothing to them
that nature has poured out her riches
so plentifully. They cannot get any
of the fruit that is actually rotting in
the orchards or being fed to hogs.
THE News-Democrat never hesi.
tates to call this kind of combination
against the public welfare. | wish you
would take it up and air it little"
Nothing additional could he said, So
the remarks of the citizen are gwen
in full in the hopes that something
may result that will furnish this de-,
licious fruit to Canton people at prices
that are in some degree moderate. &,
In this connection, it is stated that
study of the newspapers that come
from the smaller nearby towns shows
that hundreds Of bushels of peaches
are going to waste for want Of bay.
ers, which certainly indicates that
there is a possibility Of getting them
into this market at much lower rate
than they are now selling for.
