Masons Pay Loving TrIb
ute to Mckinley.
ADDRESSES ARE MADE
BY Hon. Henry w. Harter and
John Crause--SpeciaI Music
Adds to tho Interest
Of tho Service.

Never in the history of Canton was
there more solemn or impressive
service than that which was held by
the Mckinley lodge OF Masons Sunday
afternoon at the Masonic temple In
honor of the memory of their departed
brother and townsman, William Nc
Kinley. About 500 Masons and invited
friends were present The services
were opened at o'clock and contin-
ued for two hours. The hall was
draped in mourning with a picture Of
the president placed at the head of
the altar. The services were opened
with the singing of solemn hymn
by a quartet composed Of Messrs.
Reed, Vogelgesang, Lawson and
Crause with organ accompaniment.
Hon. Henry w. Harter, of Mckinley
lodge,
WAS THEN INTRODUCED.
He eulogized Mckinley in the high
est terms. ''He is dead, but still
lives. The character and words o.
great men never die," declared tho
speaker. He then quoted Mr.. McKin-
ley's eulogy on the life of Gen. Grant
which in part is as follows: Great
lives never die. Great deeds never
perish. Great words never die" Mr.
Harter compared Mckinley to Sir
Philip Sidney.
ut does seem strange" said he,
that one who said of the American
people. With patriotism in their heart,
the flag of their country in their hand
I see no danger of anarchy in this
united country should be the first o.
his nation to die by the hand of an
anarchistic assassin. No one with those
sentiments in his heart could have
killed Mckinley or any other man."
John Crause, of Canton lodge, was
then introduced and opened by say
ing: 81 cannot say more than what
has been said in the newspapers, but

charter member. With tears in his
ewes he spoke of his interview with
"Neighbor Mckinley" at the whit,
house during his trip to Washington
to attend the funeral of his son who
was paymaster in the army appointed
by Mckinley. He closed by saying
that Mckinley was more responsible
for bringing the north and south to.
gelher than any one else.
After singing McKinley's favoritc
hymn, Nearer. My God, to Thee" the
council of sorrow was closed.

M'COVERN SENTENCED
He Gets Eight Years In the Pen
--Thousht Pals May Try
to Rescue Him.

Judge Amber sentenced Michael Nc
Govern to eight years in the peniten-
tiary for his part in the Bender rob-
berry. This is the same sentence that
was imposed upon William Henderson
for the same crime. When sentence
was pronounced, McGovern broke down
and cried, declaring his innocence. No
effort will be made to secure a new
trial.
Since the rescue of Taylor, who came
to Canton as witness, 1t Is thought
that some such attempt might be made
to secure the liberty of McGovern,
should Sheriff Zaiser not take extra
precautions to guard against such an
event. as he evidently belongs to tho
same gang.

Of Interest Throughout
the State.
ACT OF LEGISLATURE
Permitting Taxpayers to Sue
in Case tho Com mi ission-
ers Fail to Act Is
Questioned.

Columbus, Oct, 31.-Citizens of the
state will find much to interest them
in case argued in supreme court in
which the state of Ohio was plaintiff
and John M. Killetts, OF Williams
county, defendant. The defendant was
prosecuting attorney of the county and
as such collected fees in excess of his
salary to amount of s5,100. 1t seemed
that about every time he did anything
that interfered with his private legal
business, he charged it to the county.
Judgment in the amount named was
secured against him, but he had the
VERDICT SET ASIDE
on the ground that only the county
commissioners could sue, under the
law. AS they had allowed the bills
that are claimed to be illegal there was
no likelihood that they would take the
initiation. so a bill was introduced in
the legislature, to fit the case. The
for any taxpayer to proceed, in case
the commissioners failed to do so.
A taxpayer proceeded and gotta verdict
for the county. 1t is now sought to
set that aside because of the retroactive
character of the amendment to the
original law. 1t Is well established
rule that retroactive laws cannot be
made to apply, but 1t is contended in
this case that
THE PENDING ISSUE
was not affected because the benefi-
ciary, II the verdict stands. Is the
same, namely, the county, and that the
state of facts Is not disturbed in any
way. 1t is fact that in many coun-
ties in the state officials are being in
vestigated or are charged with mall
feasance or taking illegal fees. If the
supreme court sets the Williams coun-
ty case aside, 1t makes 1t impossible for
any action to be taken to collect, ex-
cept the commissioners take the ini-
tiative. AS they allow such fees and
ILLEGAL CHARGES
in many instances. the probability that
they will proceed Is somewhat remote.
IL taxpayer many not proceed, the
chances for catching anybody for mis-
conduct prior to the passage of the
amendment. year and half ago,
are very slim. So the people are inter-
ested in this case. j. w. Winn, lead
ing northwestern Ohio lawyer, argued
for the county and incidentally for
the taxpayers.

extensively in eastern Ohio and took

acteristics of it's predecessor. Sever

One of the Improvements in the new
battleship Kentucky is the increased
use of electricity instead of steam, saws
writer in Munsey's Magazine. The
Kentucky is planned on the principle of
trolley line so far as her subsidiary
engines are concerned. There is a
motor which performs each particular
work, and instead Of broiling steam
pipe running to it an electric wire con-
meets it with the central engines. The
steam is kept where It belongs-in the
boiler room. This is a great economy
OF space, and the discomfort it saves
the officers and crew is not easily meas
ured.

LITERARY TREASURE TROvE.
Fortunate Find of an English Book
Lover at Auction Sale
tD Leeds.

One Of those romantic discoveries OF
literary treasure trove which one often
hears of but somehow has never the
good luck to experience has recently
befallen a Leeds man, Harold P. Dom.
Some five years ago Mr.. Dom was at an
auction sale in Briggate, Leeds, when
he picked up a battered old volume
on Hebrew customs for half a crown.
He has recently became aware that the
book is of considerable value, and on
submitting it to a Leeds gentleman
whose opinion on such matters is Of
some weight he was informed that the
value of his purchase might be eSti.
mated at between c 300 and $500.
The book does not look worth the
money. 1t can boast only one cover.
and the first few pages have disap-
peared, says the Jewish World. II is
really three books bound into one vol
ume-a book on Roman antiquities;
Seven Books of the Attick Antiqui-
ties" and the work on Hebrew cere-
monies, which constituted the valuable
portion. This Is entitled Moses and
Aaron. Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites
Used by the Ancient Hebrews; OBJ
served at Much Pain for the Clearing Of
Many Obscure Texts Throughout the
Holy Scripture" There is some more
title, but this is sufficient for a sample.
The book is by one Thomas Goodwin.
b. d., whose preface is dated 1924, while
the date Of issue Of this edition. the
eleventh, is 1878. 1t constitutes a CON-
plete compendium of Hebrew customs.
and is compiled largely from authori-
lies whose works are now lost.

AS TO CREMATION.
Science Approves n aud Religion
Does Not Oppose, Says This
Authority.

The custom of cremation was Roman,
out il disappeared with the Christian
era under the influence of the belief
In the literal resurrection Of the body.
Its revival in all countries is coin
cident with broader Interpretation
Of the teachings of Christianity and
with the development of modern sci
ence. The doctrine of the converse
ton of matter. that the only change
possible is transformation and not de-
struction, bears powerfully in favor
of cremation. The transformation OF
the grave is relatively slow, that of
the crematory relatively rapid, but
both processes are the same, and, in
comparison with the duration of the
world, both are intOlerably swift. We
are cut down and we wither. Whether
the decay is matter of hours or
years is merely an incident of the
inevitable, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Those considerations can be felt
best in a time of scientific domination
over the intellectual life. The hy-
gienic and sanitary reasons are most
potent in an era of the rapid growth
of large cities. Therefore. it is not
surprising to know that the revival
of cremation begun about 1850, has
grown rapidly not only in this coun-
try but in Europe. Here we have %
crematories. France has Is. Italy /
and England have fewer. The APP |
peal of science is for the new prac-
tice. Religion is not hostile to 1t, as
is shown by its adoption by an active
and devout member of a great church.
But sentiment association and the
whole mortuary poetry of the whole
world are opposed to 1t. Those are
forces which are modified slowly. They
cannot be overcome by shock, and the
attempt would be brutal as well as
useless. But the growth OF crema-
ton is accompanying. if not keeping
pace with, the growth of cities. In
the next quarter of century the Gus
tom will have become general enough
to aid in the solution of the present
serious problem of finding suitable
resting places for the dead.
