Her Capture.

New York, April 12.--Miss Ellen
Stone who arrived in this city Thurs
day after her release from the Bull
garian brigands talked freely today OF
her experience.
II have been hidden away from the
world for six months, all but eight
days, as you know" replied Miss Stone,
"and l was kept at the center Of a
circle of activity. The brigands main
tanned toward us their usual custom
in captures for ransom-to treat pris-
oners well.
A MERCENARY AFFAIR.
"As soon as We were caught the
leader said: We have taken you for
money and it was a coldblooded,
purely business transaction. When we
were captured the brigands were very
nervous. What l then thought was
cruelty 1 now see, on looking back,
was the effect of their nervousness.
THE brigands were abrupt with us
and made us travel far, but that prob
ably was because they feared pursuit.
We always Travelled at night so as to
avoid being seen. Before dawn we
would stop for the day at some huts
in an uninhabited part of the noun
tains.
After the first negotiations for ran
rom fell through the brigands seemed
out of patience with us. The chief
said to us: If within 20 days the ran

you and a bullet for YOU After a
time the brigands relented. They were
especially careful of Nine. Tsilka

when we were taken"
IT was suggested that the Turkish
government was too weak, or too cor
rupt to suppress the brigands.
Or, perhaps both?" queried Miss
Stone. "You on the outside can tell

CAN'T LOSE UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
Infirmary Tax Question Has a
Majority Any Way It 10
Figured.

After a great deal of delay, the Of
fetal vote upon the infirmary tax pro-
ject has been completed and the re-
suit announced. the last returns came
into the auditors Office late Friday
evening, when they were added to the
table and the totals run up.
The total number of votes cast were
1929 Some of these were blanks
however. The total number actually
cast for or against the levying of the
tax was 1904. The "yes" votes were
9,316, the mays" 1873.
This gives majority over those
voting against of 1878. and over all
Of 200. Under the statute the official
majority would be ! 1,578. but it carries
under any construction of the law.

CAN'T BE DISPRovEN.
Canton People Are Face to
Face With Facts.

When a local citizen comes forward
and makes public statement, un-
hesitatingly endorsing the workings of
"The Little Conqueror." no better
proof can be had. The timid and
doubtful. the scoffer and the skeptic,
are brought face to face with facts
which cannot be disproven. The testi-
mony of friends and neighbors, cheer
fully given by them, and told here In
their own words, is the positive evil
dence of merit that backs every box OF
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this, "a
case in point:
Mrs. G. w. Trump, of S07 East Third
street. says: "TO praise Doan's Kid

Castle" We bought them at The
Durbin & Wright Co.'s drug store, 1885

Trump and myself used them. speak

SEES FINISH OF
The MORGAN STRIKE
w. T. voses Of Canton Visits
the Works and Predicts
Speedy Adjustment.

William F. Voges, secretary of the
Canton Saw company. was In Alliance
Friday and was visitor at the plant
of the Morgan Engineering company.
Mr.. Voges stated that the places OF
the striking machinists have for the
most part been filled and that matters
in the machinery department are pro-
crossing very well. He says that the
old machinists. who quit work, are
returning one by one and the ranks of
the strikers are rapidly becoming de-
pleted.
According to Mr.. Voges not enough
machinists have yet been secured to
have night shift, but the officials
arc confident that in a few days the
night shift will be resumed and mat
tiers will he running as smoothly as
before the strike.
ut looks very much to me-" said Mr..
Voges, "as If the strike will result in
the dissolution of the machinists'
union. The men who have not left the
city are coming back one by one and
1t will be only matter Of time, in
my opinion, until all are at work
again"

meeting and receive their instructions.
BUSINESS MEN READY.

During the Season Just Closed
--Canton Hunters Toying
TO Solve Distress
ing Problem.

The duck season which has Just
closed has been the most unsatisfac-
tory that the Canton hunters have
known for years. The ducks werA
scarce and wild, coming in small fiocllE
and they did not linger long in the
lakes and streams, and even at the
exclusive resort Of Congress lake.
where the shooting was not constant
as in the open resorts, good bags were
very scarce.
Hunters are trying to solve the
problem as to why the fight of ducks
Is becoming less each year. One rea-
son given is that there is scarcity Of
feed In the waters of tho state. In
many Of the marshes wild rice has been
planted which is expected to lure the
ducks. While it does no. seem to in.
crease the flight it is said that when
the birds get located where the rice
grows in the fall they linger and make
better shooting. Rice of course has no
influence on the spring birds.
In order that ducks may not be kept
on the wing all the time, the law has
been fixed so that no one is allowed
to shoot them the first three days Of
the week in the open season. so that
they may light and become settled in
a place. Shooting is not allowed be-
fore sunrise or after sunset.
But in spite of all the precautions,
the ducks are becoming scarcer. This
is duo to several causes. One is the
market hunter, who kills them in some
sections by the hundreds. Another is
the egg hunter of the far north. Ducks
go into the polar regions to breed and
congrcgate in large flocks. Their eggs
are gathered by shiploads and sold
for the albumen that they contain.
which is of great commercial value.
They are not used for food. but for
manufacturing.
The line of fight has changed with
the settling up of the country, the
greater part of the birds travelling
further west. All these things milf--
tate against the sport and make spring
very unsatisfactory. 1t has
got so that only on stormy days, when
the birds cannot travel, that they can
be found in any numbers in this part
of Ohio.
