On the Charge Of Non
Support.
BOWERS HAS HEARING
Testimony Brought Out in JUS
tice Bowman's Court--
Had Provided Home
For His Child.

Samuel Bowers was hound over to
the grand jury by Justice Bowman
Monday afternoon on the charge of
non.support of his child, Mary Mabel
Bowers. The case attracted consid.
cradle attention and while the hearing
was in progress the court room was
crowded. The sympathy of tho au
dience seemed to be with Bowers.
The testimony showed that the his
tory of the child had been most pa
thetic one. Mary Mabel Bowers was
taken by her father from her home in
Canton some time ago to the home Of
her uncle in Pennsylvania. There he
left money for her support. He
PAID HER BOARD
and lodging and left money for her
clothing. Then, as was claimed, he
didn't live very peaceful life at home
with his wife, and so left her and went
to Indiana. The wife, after he left,
went to Pennsylvania and brought the
child to Canton much against the lat
ter's wishes as she testified.
The mother returned to Canton In
April and during the time she had the
child in Canton the father failed to
provide for her, though at the time she
could have had a good home in Penn
sylvania. Even the witnesses for the
prosecution showed this, but because
of the fact that the father did not pro.
vide while the child was in Canton he
was liable before the law.
After the prosecution had intro.
duced testimony Attorney Sterling.
for the defendant, made
MOTION TO DISMISS
the case because he held that the wife
was not competent to file an affidavit
against, her husband and that the tes-
timony was not sufficient to hold him.
Neither Of these points was allowed
and the motion was overruled. The
defense then called uron one or two
witnesses and rested.
Deputy Sheriff Crubaugh, when call.
ed upon to testify in the absence Of
Sheriff Zaiser, produced over $4,000
that had been in Powers's possession
at the time of his apprehension.
There was over 800 in cash and the
rest in securities of various kinds.
Lawyers Craine and McCarty were
attorneys for the prosecution and Stcr-
ling and Sponseller represented the
defendant. ...

CHARGE OF STEALING.

Michael McGovern would have had
only few days more to serve and he
would have been free man. He had
been sent up from Mansfield for drunk
enness, and resisting an officer, and
was dreaming of the time when he
would be released.
Prosecutor Day was too alert for
him. He had his eyes on him for q
couple of months, and when the time
drew near for his release had him ar
rested upon the charge of stealing. 1t
is supposed he committed the Bender
crime in May, 1896, in Massillon. This
crime was almost old enough to have
been forgotten. The thief broke into
the house and stole certificate of de-
posit on the Massillon National bank
for $50, made payable to the order OF
Adam, Jeremiah and Elias Bender and
endorsed to the order of Henry Baird.
The burglar got in addition about $500
worth OF personal property.

The company has presented an iron
Clad to the mon which provides for
sweeping reduction in wages and the
forfeiture of all moneys due the en-.
ployes in case they strike or leave the

Deputy Examiner Elmer e. Miller, Of
Canton, who was delegate to the ma.
tional convention Of stationary engin-
eers at Rochester, N. Y. in letter to
Chief Collier, of the examining board
at Columbus, states that Robert Ingle.
son, of Cleveland, deputy organizer
for the N. A. S. F.. in this state, was
elected vice president of the national
body. The custom is for the vice pres.
ident to succeed the president, so in
all probability an Ohio man will be
at the head of the national organiza-
tion next year. Daniel Delaney, of Gin
cinnati was reelected national treas
urer. Mr.. Miller says the Ohio dele.
gates had struggle to land the vice
presidency for Mr.. Ingleson. Ohio
made splendid showing at the con-
vention. Messrs. Ingleson and De-
laney have instituted many branch
lodges of the National Association of
Stationary Engineers in eastern Ohio.

II the improvement continues 1t
would be week before the president
could be pronounced out of danger
and convalescent. And some Of his
colleagues, like DR.. Mann, placed the
limit of danger still further away,
Tho fear Of peritonitis, 1t can be said
positively, had well nigh disappeared
yesterday afternoon. With the expi-
ration Of the 72 hour period at 4
o'clock, yesterday afternoon, danger
from that source was almost gone.
Tho president himself had been
cheerful all day yesterday and had
expressed confidence in his recovery.
Yesterday he asked for morning

The question is, are the conditions
which determined the strength or weak
ness of the child unalterable? Is it
possible that mother who has borne
several children and lost them all be-
cause of inherent weakness can be so
strengthened that her children shall be
healthy and hardy?
READ THE ANSWER
to that question, written by a woman
who is certainly competent to speak as
to the remarkable strength giving power
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Mrs. Alex Kjer, of Gordonville, Cape
Girardeau Co., Mo-, writes: uWhen
look at my little Boy feel it my duty to
write to you. Perhaps some one will
see my testimony and be led to use your
'Favorite Prescription and be blessed
in the same way. This is my fifth child
and the only one who lived; the others
having died from lack of nourishment-
so the doctor said. I was not sickly in
any way and this time Just thought l
would try your Prescription l took
nine bottles, and to my surprise it
carried me through and gave us as fine
. little boy as ever was. Weighed ten
and one-half pounds. He is now five
months old, has never been sick a day,
and is so strong that everybody who sees
him wonders at him. He is so playful
and holds himself up so we'll. So many
have asked me, Do you think those
are the testimonials of the people, or has
DR.. Pierce just made them up and printed
them?' that should like you to print
this.
III do hope that if any women have
the same trouble that 1 have had they
will try DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. We recommended it to one of our

The Uprising Of the Husband.


A Tenth avenue husband who in
sisted on kissing his pretty wife before
the customers in her restaurant, pre-
sumably as evidence of his pleasant
property rights, has been committed
to the Bellevue insane pavilion. Mr..
Mary Elizabeth Lease was lately de-
tected in the act of saying something
for himself. And now Mr.. Nation has
mutinied!
These events suggest the immediate
presence Of husband question which
may deserve to divide interest with
Ratchet crusades, women's clubs and
the rights OF the gentler sex in tho do
main of votes and lecture platforms.
Granting the privilege of woman to
extend her sphere of worldly endeavor
even into fields OF old monopolized by
man, does it follow that the emerged
feminine must inevitably find its COM
plement in submerged masculine?
When the wife stops preserving cher.
ries in order to put up speeches. does
it devolve upon the husband to main
tain double silence for the household?
When An invincible She goes forth for
q crashing Of glass to the swinging of
q battle-axe, must an amiable He

If it be so, not only do we see the
prerogatives of sex reversed but the

"objects to men who abdicate too
much" Conversely, che should cleave

presently for a reconciliation in Tenth
avenue and for a breathing spell of
domestic rehabilitation in the Nation
family OF Kansas?
