FOR THE HOSPITAL FUND
Ladies' Auxiliary Arranging to
Hold q Rummage
Sale.

Quite the newest form of charitable
enterprise and one much in vogue at
the present time, is "rummage sale."
Inasmuch as the Ladies' Auxiliary of
the Aultman hospital is arranging to
hold sale of this kind in the near
future 1t will be we'll to acquaint the
citizens of Canton, with the plans and
aims of the undertaking. The pre-
liminary steps will be to solicit all such
articles, old or new, as the housekeepers
and merchants of the city have no
longer any use for. This accumulation
will then be arranged in some CEN
trally located store room and be offered
for sale by the ladies in charge. 1t goes
without saying that this will be bar
gain sale of the season and 1t will be
an excellent opportunity for some to
find just the thing they have been look
ing for, for others to dlsencumber their
stores of things that are unnecessary,
whilst at the same time both purchaser
and doner will be adding their mite to
the accomplishment of a worthy cause
The proceeds of the sale will go toward
the liquidation of the Aultman hos
pital Indebtedness.
There is a probability that sale OF
of old rubber goods, such as shoes. bags
hose, tires, etc.. will be held In con-
nection with the rummage sale. A
vaudeville performance which was tC
have been given for the benefit of the
hospital, has been postponed until after
the Lenten season.

parties might betoo severe; but from my
experience in the cause of temperance
for more than half century have no
confidence In any of this being practi-
cal along the line of prohibition until
men meet II at the ballot box; 1t is not
the temperance forces that have driven
this question into politics, but efforts
of the rum power to get legal protec-
tion has brought this question where
II Is.
Three different attempts have been
made since 1851 to repeal the no-license
clause in our state constitution, but has
always failed. This plainly shows
that not only the prohibitionists,
but the anti-saloon men and the christ
ian men in our churches. and the
truly patriotic voters of all sects and
parties, are at heart against the saloon.
Ohio would be good field for Mrs.
Nation to operate in. were 1t not for
the legal protection given the saloons
by the Dow tax law; thousands of our
voter in this state are daily talk
ing against the legalized liquor traffic
and really hate the saloon, yet they
insist in voting the Republican ticket,
who alone are responsible for this in
iquity being in our statute books of to-
day. 1t Is high time for loyal christian
men to free themselves from political
bondage to any party that persists in
upholding so great an iniquity, as is
the Dow tax law in Ohio.

President Mckinley is still insisting
that congress show favoritism to
Rear Admiral Sampson, and has asked
that he and his men be given the same
honors that were bestowed upon Ad-
miral Dewey and his men. This per.
sistent attempt to foist Sampson on the
people is becoming nauseating. Every
body knows just what occurred in front
of Santiago and nothing that congress
can do will change the array of facts.
Schley was. there and Sampson was
not. II is evident that Schley will not
get his just dues during the present
administration. but history will deal
with him as 1t ought and his achieve
ments will be honored as they deserve.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous Inning of the
Eustachian'Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine case out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh cure. Send for circulars, free.

have no doubt the school children 40
solicit parents and neighbors in many
ways, but for a number of years the
school children of this city have but
once been called upon to solicit for the
direct benefit of the schools. and that
was for the selling of tickets to the re-
cent art exhibit, and that was done by the
special permission of the board. The
board of education in Canton, in grant
ing that permission. did the same thing
that many cities in Ohio, and in the
country, have done, not only once, but
many times. The fact that boys and
girls attend school does not necessarily
mean that all of their solicitations are
for the benefit of the schools, for they
likewise have relations to churches,
clubs, and other organizations. And,
If the children do not belong, they many
times solicit for the parents who do be-
long. OF this | do not disapprove, for
| never count it any trouble to give a
child kindly attention when engaged
in legitimate work which will tend to
create in him correct business ideas.
This letter is written in the most
kindly spirit, and l trust you will ac-
cept il in the same.
Most cordially yours,

POLITICIANS
Have Deceived Good PeO.
Pile of Ohio.
LOCALIZED EVIL NO. 80
BY John Danner.-.This Should
Be a Prohibition State, Ac.
cOrdinQ to the Law.

The good people of Ohio have been
deceived by politicians so long, that
they are ignorant of their true rights,
and privileges. The letter and spirit
of our state legislature is charged
against giving a permit to the liquor
traffic, but about eighteen years ago
politicians betrayed the best interests
of the people by the enactment of the
Dow tax law, in order to obtain the
support of the liquor dealers; from
that time to the present the desola-
tions of the traffic have been growing
in our otherwise happy and prosper
GUS state. Here and there we yet have
the privileges of local option and to
see the contrast between the saloon
cursed communities, and that one free
from saloons, copy the following from
a local paper in the northern part Of
Ohio.
"Hicksville in Defiance county, o..
is town of about thirty-fve hundred
inhabitants, and has had no saloon for
thirteen years. This town has no
representation in the penitentiary.
Antwerp is a town of less than fifteen
huhulCu iuhdDitdito anu ulue HllleS
from Hicksville, and has been cursed
with saloons ever since the Dow tax
law was enacted by the Republican
party. 1t has eight representatives
in the Ohio penitentiary, and two men
who. are now being tried for murder.
Most of the Antwerp crimes were the
direct result of drink obtained in these
legalized Dow law saloons. Can
christians support such policy at the
ballot box on week day, and thea
pray on Sabbath, '"Thy Kingdom
Come"
Twenty years ago the old "Voters
Union" were honestly striving for pro-
hibition law in Ohio. which should
| correspond with our state constitution,
that declares against license or per-
NIT to be given for liquor selling for
beverage purposes. But the pleadings,
the promises of votes and money from
the liquor power were so great that
the Grand Old Republican party, were
seduced into the trap of enacting and
upholding tax laws for the run
traffic; and that so discouraged the
Union" that the organization
was given up. some Oh uS Went
into the prohibition party, and have
been battling there ever since
| against all forms of tax or license law
for the liquor traffic, others went with
the old tax and license parties and to-
day many temperance men of all par
ties are cooperating with the Anti
Saloon league. But the great wrong
championed by the Republican
party In the enactment of tax and
license laws for the liquor sellers ID
still on our statute book. To call In
question the honesty OF men who hoped

NOT GUILTY
That Was the Verdict
In the OleO Case.
TILL AFTER MIDNIGHT
The Jury WrestIed Before Reach
ing a Conclusion-..Great
Interest Manifested.

The jury in the oleomargarine case
on trial before Justice j. A. Bowman
Friday afternoon retired for consulta-
ton at 4: 80 o'clock, and wrestled with
the case until 1880 at night. The ver-
dict was mot guilty." The defendant
in the case was George Hake, Canton
dealer who had been arrested on the
instance of an agent of the state food
and dairy commission. Through the
conduct of the trial the office of JUS
tice Bowman was thronged with spec
tatocS and an unusual interest was
manifested in the outcome of the case.
The oleo law seems to be quite un-
popular, especially in the cities. and
this was manifested clearly during the
hearing. The sympathy Of the specta-
tors was with the defendant. and while
1t was practically admitted that there
was technical violation of the law,
yet the jury evidently did not deem it
sufficient to justify the branding Of a
local merchant as law breaker.
Attorney Steele, who was sent by the
dairy company, to assist in the de-
fense Of Mr.. Hake, is an expert in his
line.
The Canton Grocers' association was
Interested as body, and J. j. Hawk,
the local attorney who assisted in the
defense, Is counsel for that organiza-
tion.
1t is said that in the jury room there
were as eloquent and impassioned
speeches made pro and con by the menl-
bers of the jury as were made by the
counsel on either side. There were
enough hanging out for conviction to
make the situation interesting, and
there is said to have been hot time
before verdict was reached.
The state does not often secure a
conviction. The reason given for this
is that the people generally think Food
Commissioner Blackburn should begin
at headquarters and prosecute those
who are making the product and selling
it wholesale. 1t was stated at the trial
that firm in Columbus and another in
Cleveland are making and selling
thousands of pounds every week and
sending it out over the state, and no
effort is ever made to interfere with
them. Their charters from the state
have been revoked, yet they still do
business. This is one of the things
that is said to initiate against the
stae in it's prosecution of retailers.
There is some speculation as TO
whether other arrests will be made in
Canton. Dealers sell oleo openly, and
did so Friday during the progress CT
the trial. and it ispossible that the
state may not be satisfied with the
case just finished.
Attorney J. P. Fawcett, who prose-
cuted the case, is regularly appointed
attorney for the food commission, and
he fought the case hard.
