By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Massilon, o., April 23.-Owing to the
impassibility of the country roads the
people of the village of Richville.
southeast of here were short of food
over Saturday and Sunday. The re-
sumption of travel today relieved the
condition. The river has not risen as
rapidly today as yesterday but the in
dications are for rain and the people
on the lowlands along the river are
moving to the hills.
Operations at three glass factories
are suspended because of the gas pres
sure being too low. Four hundred
men are idle. Fourteen trains on the
Pennsylvania Line were stalled in the
snow a few miles west of here but the
trains are now going through on time.

WIFE WATCHED
Her ReCreant Husband, Dressed In Mans
Apparel.

Special to the Leader.
Mt Clemens, Mich, April 23.-Some
time ago the wife of Samuel Jobse. OF
this city, applied for divorce, and
since then there has been, considerable
litigation between the two. The di-
vorce case is now pending in the cir
cult court, and it has been adjourned
several times on account of the hus-
band having been declared by his doc
tors too sick to attend.
Mrs. Jobse was satisfied that the
plea of sickness was only ruse, and
she determined to prove that such was
the case. Last night, after dressing
herself in mans apparel, she laid In
wait near the house in which her hub
by was living (he remaining in bed
during the daytime) and awaited de-
velopments.
At last her vigil was rewarded,
Jobse opened the door. looked around,
and then started down town. After
proceeding some distance he became
aware of the fact that he was being
followed, and started on a run. The
wife set out in pursuit, and having no
skirts to interfere with her sprinting
ability, was fast overtaking the fugi-
tive, when she stumbled and fell head
long to the ground She got his hat,
however, which fell off in his fight.
Jobse escaped by hiding in soma
woods, but his wife has proved to her
own satisfaction that he was sham
ming and is satisfied.

Holds Its Ground.
This Is Testimony from Everywhere as Well
as Marietta.

Can this be so? Is it true? Are
the facts as stated? These are the
questions which every man and wo-
man asks as they read the published
accounts in newspapers about medi-
cines which claim to cure it. What
ever the conclusion arrived at they
can't finch from or disprove the fol-
lowing for it took place in Marietta
and the experience is that of a citi-
zen:
Mrs. Elmer Able, of 400 Lancaster
street, says: "Mr. Able values Doan's
Kidney Pills very highly. The use of
box ended trouble with his kidneys
which had annoyed him for some time
After the lapse of nearly year he felt
slight return. Procuring second
box at w. H. Styer's drug store, the
treatment proved as valuable as when
the remedy was first brought to his
notice"

New GrOCery.

The new grocery of Ed Koerner &
Son on Putnam street, was opened to
the public for the first time Tuesday
afternoon. The goods had been all
stored on the shelves last week but or
Sunday were removed owing to the
rapidly rising waters. The room is
very attractive, the furnishings are
new and the goods fresh, three i'm
portant items which customers con-
slider when making purchases.
Mr.. Ed Koerner has not yet arriv-
ed from Pittsburg. his delay Deing
probably caused by the high water
but he will arrive in the city to take
charge of the business.

BURIED ALIVE
Was a Two Weeks Old Babe hya Heart
less Couple.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
New York, April 23.-By the merest
chance two weeks old baby, buried
alive by a man and woman, was dis
covered by Patrick McEver, a laborer
of Hastings, just in time to save il
from death by suffocation. The child
had been thrown alive, by the man
and woman, into a hole about three
feet deep, which the couple had
scooped out with their hands. A little
cape worn by the baby had in some
way fallen over the face. This kept
the earth away and held the air for
a moment. McEver threw aside the
freshly upturned earth and brought to
light the little victim just as it was
about to give its last gasp. A man
and woman who answered in every
way the description were arrested an
hour later.
The man said he was Givori Dutta-
cayolo, of Manhattan. He said he was
married and had three children. The
woman said she was Francisco Stin-
ella, Is years old, dress maker and
unmarried. She denied that the babe
was hers. Both were committed with
out bail to Jail.

WENT SOUTH
For His Health, But the Hoped-fol Relief
Failed to Come.

The following taken from the Cour-
ier-Informant Barlow. Fla, of we'd
nesday, April 3rd, 1901, will doubtless
prove of interest to our readers:
About three months ago Mr.. James
e. Breckenridge came to Barlow, from
Watertown, Ohio, accompanied by a
younger brother to spend the remain.
der of the winter here, and try to es-
cape the threat of consumption, which
was manifestly making its appearance
in his system. Mr.. d. G. Green, who
was few years from the same state
and now lives on Polk Lake a few
miles east of town, met these young
men and, learning that they were
seeking quiet retreat in the dry, Ii. gin
pine lands of the country, took them
to what is known as the "Old William
Wallace farm" on the ridge east of
Peace river, some six or seven miles
southeast of Barlow.
The young men being favorably i'm :
pressed with the place, and its sur
roundings, located there.
Here they came and went indoors,
and out, won the hearts of their kind
neighbors, and were getting on nice
ly IN every way. A short time ago,
however, the unwell man made trip
to Sarasota hoping the change and
variety would hasten the apparent
steps toward recovery, but from some
cause a severe cold attacked him and
he had to be brought quickly.
The dreaded disease with which he
was threatened when he came to Flori-
da, reinforced by the cold. made rapid
progress, and, amid the solicitous care
of neighbors and the ministering at
tentions of his brother, he peacefully
came to the end early last Monday
morning. His age was about 20 years.
His brother is younger. They are
both represented as young men of no
BILE character. The sad duty devolves
on the disconsolate brother of taking
the corpse back to his home in Ohio
for interment. The body was embalm-
ed by Undertaken J. l.. Writ, of this
city, and they left Barlow on the 10: 80
train Tuesday morning. Sad, indeed,
will be the return to his parents and
friends in the distant state To all of
these we extend our deep sympathy.
The devotion of the younger brother
is spoken of as very beautiful.

Swept Over the Falls.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, April 23.-Mer
at work on new factory on the bank
of the Niagara today report that they
saw a man in a rowboat swept over
the falls. The man evidently tried
to cross the river, but found the cur
rent too strong. He turned his boat
and tried to get back to shore, but the
awful current was too much for him
and he was sucked into the upper rap
ids and carried over the Horseshoe
falls.
