some soap and candles which were sold
to other dealers. In connection with
the grocery business Mr.. Winterhalter
sold beer, wine and similar beverages on
the premises and eventually gave up
the making Of soap and candles and
devoted his whole time to the grocery
and saloon. In all, Jacob Winterhal-
ter and his wife owned and occupied
this property about forty years.
Jacob Winterhalter and wife never
had any children of their own. Mrs.
Winterhalter was quite kind-hearted
woman and of benevolent disposi-
ton, and her efforts in this direction
were endorsed by her husband. They
adopted two homeless girls who were
known to our people as Christina Win
terhalter and Elizabeth Winterhalter.
The latter married Joseph Allonax. She
has since died. Christina Winterhalter
married Peter Lothamer and they still
live at 500 North Cleveland avenue.

brick building which they owned on
North Market street, standing on the
lot now occupied by the Martin block
Mr.. Winterhalter died few years after
they had moved into said house. Mrs.
Winterhalter then quit housekeeping
and made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. Lothamer, on North Cleveland
avenue, and there died some years
thereafter. 1t is only about nine years
since Mrs. WHITEWATER died. She had
many friends among all classes.
In their will, Jacob Winterhalter and
wife Sequeathed to their adopted
daughter, Mrs. Lothamer, the proper

carawas, which is the property referred
to in this sketch and picture.

Peter Lothamer continued the busi-
ness as handed over to him by Mr..
Winterhalter for several years, and
then gave up the business and rented
the property to several other parties
who have continued in various kinds
of business, but principally the saloon
business. The front room has been di-
vided into two rooms, while originally
there was but one.
Peter Lothamer and wife have lived
retired life since leaving the old
Winterhalter corner, and they hold the
deed of the property on the northeast
corner of Tuscarawas and Walnut
streets and say that 1t is free from en-

been sold to the Dime Savings bank,

the old landmarks on this lot will be
removed and fine, modern brick or
stone block will be put up that will
fully correspond with the more re-
cent brick and stone blocks which have
been erected in Canton. The bank will
occupy part of the building for it's own
business, while the other parts will be
rented for various purposes.
All these things show the growth
and prosperity of Canton, in which all
good citizens rejoice.

TIC the numerous open and flagrant
violations of the Garfield law through
out the state of Ohio are to be attri-
buted its late repeal. There was nevci
q Law upon the statute books of the
state which aimed to accomplish Sc
much In the way Of political reform
and which after ell, did so little.
The CLicago-Record Herald roundly
criticises Ohio for its failure 10 enforce
the law. Upon the principal argument
for the laws repeal tha: it encouraged
perjury, this newspaper says:
ION such grounds all laws which II
is anyone's interest to dodge should be
repealed because they all promote per-
Jury in the same way. On account
OF his dread Of the punishment fol
stealing, the thief will swear that he
did not steal, and, Of course, lie is en-
titled to the sympathy of tho Ohio leg
islators, who must feel that the poor
fellow should not be driven to swear
ing falsely sby the threat Of jail and
prison. Ergo, Ohio should repeal its
laws against theft and abolish its jails
and prisons.
mo more contemplate plea than
this of the man who Is afraid he may
perjure himself was ever made, and, of
course 1t Is insincerc. The fear is OF
the possible results. What is wanted
IL free hand at political corruption
and that is what the legislators have
voted themselves"

MEAN TRICK.
(St. Clairsville Gazette.)

We have heard of mean tricks, but
Thos. Cordell came down Saturday and
gave us an account of the meanest man
in this neck of the woods. He and
his wife went to call on their neighbor
during one of those dark nights which
we had recently, and along comes an
unprincipled cuss and takes Mr.. Cor
dell's lantern. The fellow keeps IL for
a week, and becoming tired of his at
tempted joke, puts up pole by the
Pleasant Hill school house and hangs
the lantern on 1t. It is useless to say
that 1t gave Mr.. and Mrs. Cordell lot
of trouble. as both are old people and
as usual their sight is impaired. Be-
sides 1t is hard to tell how many times
he needed his lantern during the in
terim. Such is life, however.

DREADFUL ATTACK OF WHOOP-

Mrs. Ellen Harrison, of 800 Park ave-

lows: Our two children had severe
attack of whooping cough, one Of them
in the paroxysm of coughing would Of

tried everything we heard Of without

TWO-STORY frame building
on the northeast corner OF
III Walnut and Tuscarawas streets
is familiar to most Of cur cit


is familiar to most Of cur cit
izens. 1t has had an open front for
some years, but when first built 1t was
as shown in our picture. Open fronts
in those early days were not in fashion.
The size and general outside appear
ance have not been changed. When
the house was first built it stood from
five to seven feet lower than now. At
that time the street was that much
lower than at present, and In going
west on Tuscarawas street was quite
a heavy grade, the street at that time
opposite where w. L. Homer now has
his clothing store, was fully five feet
higher than now. So it can be readily
seen that in the early days there was
about ten feet more of rise going up
from Walnut street to Market than is
now. This house which we describe
today has been raised twice since it
was built but never moved from the
saIue locality.
In 1909 Bazalel Wells sold this lot to
George Kirkpatrick who sold it to
Abraham Harman, and in 1920 Chris
tian Palmer owned the lot He sold
to Jacob Sala, who built the house as
shcwn in 1921, and opened q drug
store in the corner which he continued
until 1887, when the property was sold
to Sanders Van Ransalear, who held 1t
until 1841, when Philip Weber bought
the property.
Jacob Sala will be remembered by
many of our older citizens as the pio-
neer druggist in Canton. He kept 4
good drug store and was man much
respected. His sons, Solomon, John
Levi and Benjamin were all we'll known
in Canton when they were young men.
They were mostly educated here. Sol
omon Sala was printer and was for
quite a time one of John Saxton's main
supports In the publication of the Ohio
Repository. John Sala was doctor.
He was the father of Bronson, Matilda
and Margaret Sala, who moved to
some of the western states about forty
years ago. Benjamin Sala was tailor
and was the grandfather of the Sala
brothers who are yet in the printing
business in Minerva, in this county
Levi and perhaps one or two other
children, ] am not certain as to their
business or what become of them.
Jacob Sala was a native of Worms
Germany, and was well educated in
the German and English languages
He continued the drug business in this
building which he had erected until
1887 when he sold the property to San
ders Van Ransalear and quit the bus
mess. In 1S41 the property was SOLD
to Philip Weber, who kept a grocery
in the room formerly occupied as a
drug store and occupied the balance of
the house for residence purposes, and
In 1S43 he sold the property and trans

Everything Is Harmonious.

The property of the John Owen Mining and
Milling company will be sold at early date.
This was decided upon at a meeting of the stock
holders held on Thursday.
The hatchet was buried, to all appearances, and
the annual meeting of the stockholders of the
pany passed off harmonously in the office of
George Riley, general manager of the company.
The company has capitalization of s., SOC, 900,
divided into the number of shares and out of
the total there was representation of e47,75I at
the meeting Stockholders were present from va
rious points
While it was expected that legal fight would
be the result of this meeting such will not be the
case. resolution was passed and the following
committee was appointed to further the sale of the
property which has been reported as being in pro-
gress for some time Lombard Williams, Charles
Brewer and H. G. Meadows. This committee will
also attempt to make deal for the consolidation
of other properties.
The company owns 900 feet of the big vein in
the Newhouse tunnel but little work has been done
during the past year, other than drifting. Good
bodies of ore have been opened, and the indica-
tons very good.
The following directors were elected
Lombard Williams, Boston; Gibson r Will
liams Buffalo; Charles Brewer Boston c. S.
Baxter Boston; H. C. Meadows, Boston John
Owen and R. c. Bonney, Idaho Springs. Harper
M. Orahood of Denver elected attorney
The president of the company will be Lombard
Williams and the secretary will be Charles Brewer.
George Riley will continue in the capacity of
ager.
The meeting adjourned for period of sixty
days, when the directors will hold a meeting at
their offices in Boston, when the expected deal on
the property will be ratified
The trouble which has been brewing for the last
six months over the refusal of the board of di-
rectors to pay the outstanding obligations of the
Jewell company, and also to deliver certain
amount of stock to the former manager, John
Owen. All these claims have been settled in full,
and there will be no delay towards the complete
of the sale.
While it is not known how much the deal calls
for it is undersood that it is the intention of the
eastern parties to make sale of the property and
then reorganize with capital stock much larger
than the present company.

Troubles of His Own.

Manager Carl of the Soda Springs has troubles
of his own. For the last week he has had two
gentlemen from the east patrons, and during the
course of events the two call for baths How
ever, they never come together. On Monday the
elderly of the two, who by the way weighs cousid
cradle more than 200, walked into the managers
office, during which the following conversation
took place:
Good afternoon, Mr.. b. How are Won feel
ing to-day?'
mot very we'll. 1 inclined to the belief that
| am worse than the day l arrived Sav do Won
know that have not had good nights sleep since
1 arrived in this place"
'We1l,'' came the answer s'that is very STRANGE
for nearly every one who visits the town say thev
cannot get enough sleep for the first few days.
Anyway, am going to leave
Is your friend going too?''
mot if know it. He and will not hook nm
together any more. The fact is he wants to sleei,
both day and night
How does that effect you. Can't you enjoy
yourself all by your lonesome ?''
1t is just like this. You my friend and
occupy double at the hotel and he insists o,I

Il will stay only on one condition. If YOU will

"It is, said Mr.. Carl, and at the same time he
heaved sigh of relief.

Not Much Room For Complaint.

The voters who have received campaign litera-
ture favoring the Bucklin bill under the frank of
Senator Teller have little reason to complain of un-
fairness on the part of the administration. Last
winter the state legislature appropriated thousand
or two for the purpose of sending out Democratic
literature from the Old Soldiers Bryan club of Dem
ver Now the United States government is permit
ting Senator Teller to fill the mails with more fu-
sion literature at the expense of the government.
Every voter in the city and probably in the county
received one of these this week The idea suggests
the intention of the Democrats in the coming CAM
paign They will make their fight on the Bucklin
amendment and the Republicans have nothing seri-
GUS to fear if they will place themselves sody in
favor of it. We see no reason why the distinguish
ed representatives in congress should not arrange it
so that some mining company could have its pros
pectus and other literature sent out under the franks
of the senators and representatives.

Tuesday morning Sheriff Sandberg took L.
Lyon an old-time miner of Silver Plume, to the
asylum at Pueblo Lyon is a single man, but has
an hallucination that#someone is going to poison
him In order to prevent it he has prepared sort
of powder that he keeps himself sprnkled with and
which he says is safeguard against the poison that
designing enemies might furnish him. As long as
he was in a position to supply himself with the
powder he was sane, but as soon as the supply was
exhausted and his cash with it he at once began to
fight the alleged enemies, as he termed them. The
fellow was well thought of in his home and the peo
pie generally sympathize with him. The details of
the Gabrin case in Denver seemed to unbalance him
worse than he ever was before.

The Worlds Burro Farm.

George McAuliffe, known the world over as
proprietor of the only burro farm in the United
States, arrived in the city Thursday morning from
his beautiful home, just this side of Georgetown.
Mac says he had the narrowest escape from missing
the train that he experienced. The Shetland
pony which he generally rides to meet train, was
indisposed and it became necessary for him to
mount sma1l-sized donkey. The brute started all
right but when half the distance covered the
ore packer refused to move and the only recourse
was to travel the balance of the two miles on foot
Mac says that the animal in the future can do his
own rustling for food.
