 PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
 There are three public build ings in Flagstaff of which we are proud to speak. The Normal school, the Public school and Court House. The first is a model of architectural workman ship, constructed of red sand stone taken from Flagstaff i'm mense stone quarry east of town. It is beautiful building, of which no picture does justice. The Court House, also built of this handsome and durable stone, is one of the prettiest county buildings in Northern Arizona It is a roomy building, tastily fitted on the interior for the use of officials. Ample vault rooms are provided for the protection

GIRL ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
After Being Oruaged and As

Portsmouth, July 6.-Goaded on
by her suffering and by the shame of
the terrible assault committed upon
her last Tuesday night by stranger
who enticed her into q buggy and then
drugged her with poisoned wine, An
ma Canter made an unsuccessful at.
tempt to end her life Friday night. To.
day the girl was brought to this city
closely guarded by two men to prevent
her from jumping into the river, which
she threatened to do. She was convey
ed TO her home near Jackson.
No arrests have been made in the
case and it is probable the girls sedu
Ger will escape punishment, as no clew
to his identity can be discovered. Miss
Canter has been unable to throw any
further light on the case and the au

DEATH after which the horse stopped.
A number of us boys were out at the
creek skating that morning, and well
remember when the body was brought
in and taken into q small frame barn
standing near where Joseph DICKS
works now are located, and physicians
called, but they said he had been dead
for several hours.
The two Fields, Gardner and his
brother William Field, were among the
best citizens of Massillon. William
Field was justice of the peace for n
number of terms in Massllon. He ar
terwards moved to Columbus, Ohio.
where he was also made justice of the
peace for several terms. He died there
about twenty years ago, much respect
ed and loved by all who knew him.
In the days first referred to in this
article, there were several very influen-
tial and enterprising citizens in Mas
sillon, whose names are only remem-
bered by the older citizens. There
were NJ ID. and II. B. Wellman. They
were large dealers in merchandise and
extensive buyers in wheat. They built
tuc biOth vi Dl1Ch yCt otohu
ing on the southwest corner of Main
and Erie streets. Mr.. NJ. D. Wellman
built the substantial brick residence
yet standing on the northeast corner OF
Main and Prospect streets, and lived
there until after the death of his wife.
He then went to live in Pittsburg or
near there. M. d. Wellman was the
patentee of the Wellman CRATE. that
at one time was considered the best
crate in use. II. B. Wellman
built the large brick residence on Pros
| pect street about three blocks north
of Main, on the east side of the street
He afterwards went to Indiana and,
think, died in Indianapolis, or neal
there.
Then there were l.. and 8. Rawson
| who for many years were in the fore
front in Massillon's prosperous days
, as buyers of wheat and dealers in mer'
chandise. Levi Rawson was married
to sister Of the late r.. III. Folger, anC
think Mr.. Rawson died some
years ago in Cleveland. Silas Rawsor
was married to a Hurxthal girl, anC
after some years she died, and Mr.
Rawson married the sister of his frs
wife. Mr.. Rawson died some years agc
in Canton at the residence of Capt
Williams, on North Cleveland avenue
My impressions are that the seconC
Mrs. Rawson is yet living, but not il
this vicinity.
Then there were the Johnsons, wht
were very active and enterprising mer

lon, wfiere he took an active part In
politics. Stark county was then a
Democratic congressional district. Re-
publicans were casting about for can
didate for congress and Kirkland be-
ing foremost in the counsel of his par
ty, suggested the name of William Nc
Kinley, then prosecuting attorney for
his county. Mckinley was seen and
consented to "stand" for the nomina-
tion. A landslide followed and Mr..
Mckinley was started. The last time
Mr.. Kirkland saw President Mckinley
was during the campaign five years
ago, when he accompanied a delega-
tion from this county to Canton. The
presidential candidate saw Kirkland in
the crowd and pushed his way to him
giving him a most hearty welcome.

priests. So rapidly was the work of
building pushed that mass was cele-
brated for the first time in the basement
of the edifice, on December "a, 1899. 1t
was day of rejoicing for the parish,
which now had it's own roof tree"
Without further delay the upper stories
of the building were brought to COM
pletion by the following May, when on
the Goth of that month the church was
solemnly dedicated by Bishop Horst
mann. Again great outpouring of
people was present to witness the cere-
mony. The Rt. Rev. Bishop preached
the dedicatory sermon, which was an
eloquent and feeling discourse. Father
Kaempker preached German sermon
on the occasion. The Rev. Chancellor
Houck was celebrant of the first mass
in the new chapel. About ten priests
were present at the dedication cere-
mony. In the afternoon the bishop
sang pontifical vespers, and again
preached, his subject being the Immac-
ulate Conception of the Blessed Virgin,
patroness of the new church. The peo-
pie composing the new and third par

of their church home, which Is an orna-
ment to the city and a credit to the
diocese.
The building is of cream colored
pressed brick, and has two stories and
a fine basement. 1t cost about $4,000.
The first story serves as a temporary
church, the second Is divided into we'll
appointed school rooms and the base
ment serves as a parish hall In all
its equipments the building is quite
modern. Later, when the permanent
church shall have been erected. the
present temporary church will be
changed into school rooms.
In June, 1900, additional ground
was purchased adjoining the church
site. The frame house on 1t was moved
to the rear of the church and fitted up
as a sisters residence. The school
with an attendance Of over two hun
dred children, was opened In Septem-
ber, 1900, and placed In charge Of the
sisters of st. Joseph.

GIRL TAKES ACID.
Mysterious Case Of q Pretty
Woman in Youngstown
Dose viii Prove Fatal.

Youngstown, July 6.-Miss Blanche
Kennedy, of Church Hill, was found
suffering with carbolic acid poisoning
on Friday near the residence of Mr..
Cross between Church Hill and Girard.
She was taken to her home on the Gt
rard road between Church Hill and Qi-
rard, and Doctor Stewart was called
to attend her. There is considerable
mystery about the case. The girl is
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Kon.
nedy, is 18 years of age, and was on
her way to work in the chalk factory,
of Mr.. Greenwood when she was over
come by the effects of the acid. Ono
story has it that she stopped at the
Cross home, and another is to the effect
that the girl was found in the woods
near by. There is no known motive
for the deed, and the victim either
can not talk or she refuses to do SO.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the unfOr.
tunate girl was still alive. 1t is said
that she cannot live.

to the new house and let the brick
which we illustrate for the use of his
children and where his son David yet
lives.
Jacob Smith lived in the house near
the oil mill until 1855 where he died
at about SS years of age. He had eight
children four boys and four girls. The
names of the sons were Samuel, Joseph
John and David. The daughters were
all married, viz, Mrs. Christian Nesz,
Mrs. Clay. Mrs. Menser and Mrs.
Thomas Van Horn. All are now dead
except David who lives at the first old
homestead as already referred to.
Jacob Smith, who built the building
referred to, was quite active in the old
Reformed church, which for over fifty
years had the late Rev. Peter Herbruck
for its pastor. l can well remember
seeing him frequently pass by our
house on his way to said church. At
that time both Reformed church and
Lutheran church occupied the old
church building that for many years
stood where the German Evangelical
Lutheran church building now stands
on the corner of Tuscarawas and Her.
bruck streets.
Before the Massillon road, was
changed to its present location from
Hazlett avenue to Reedurban, quite
an accident occurred that shall never
forget. Gardner Field, of Massillon,
had been over to Canton attending a
ball at Dewalt's tavern, which stood
where the Eagle block or First National
bank building now stands. 1t was in
the midst of winter and quite cold
weather and Mr.. Field had come over
in his gig, two wheeled and one seat
ed rig, that in those days was much
In use. The weather was quite cold and
the ground frozen hard, and 1t was
after midnight when Mr.. Field started
home, all alone. Not arriving at Mas
silon in the morning search was made
for him, and short distance east OF
Floom's tavern or Reedurban, he was
found dead, his feet entangled in the
lines. and the horse had stopped with
his dead driver lying on the ground

The following historical sketch OF the
Immaculate Conception church, of Can
ton, appeared in the current issue of

For more than thirty years the Cath
olics living in the southern section of
Canton and in the adjacent country
looked forward with ardent hopes for a
church and school to be there located.
In fact, lot had been purchased for
them in that section, in the year 1863
to be ultimately used as a site for that
purpose. But nothing further was done
in the matter until the advent Of the
Rev. Clement Treiber, in September
1899, when he was commissioned by
Bishop Horstmann to organize a new
parish in South Canton. He had secur-
ed an elegant site few months prev
ious-June 20, located on South Market
street. For short time he gathered his
new charge in st. Peters and st. John s
churches, and later in a hall near the
church site above mentioned. Mean

a combination church and school build
