THE TEST THAT TELLS

Proof You Want by Reading
Canton Papers.

When the reader wants any article
of value he naturally prefers to deal
with some one he can depend upon.
If mixed up in any law suit, good,
responsible lawyer is generally the
first necessity sought.
If lost on a prairie, directions from
settler could be relied upon; those
from stranger would be doubted.
The test that tells the tale OF merit
is the test of friends and neighbors.
Canton people endorse Doan's Kid

Can you ask for better evidence?

WOULDN'T ALLOW
N. o. T. Company to Shut Out
Rival Road-Akron Council
Takes q Stand.

Akron, o., Aug. 1.-The city COM
missioners have denied the application
of the Northern Ohio Traction COM
pany for a franchise, by which the
officials of that company intended to
block the Cleveland, Richfleld and Ak
ron electric railroad from entering this
city on lis own tracks.
The franchise in question would,
had it been allowed by the commission
ers, have allowed the N. o. T. COM
pany to have laid double track on
West Exchange street. This would
have prevented the c., r. & A. COM
pany from entering Akron on its own
tracks, as this street is the only one
by which such an entrance can be
made.
At the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil, the petition presented by the c., r.
& A. company for an entrance to the
city on its own tracks was not granted.
THIS action on the part OF the council
caused II. B. Camp, vice president Of
the road and the man who was most
heavily interested in it, to write pub
lie letter, in which he signed as vice
president and made charges against
the members of the council The c.,
r. Il A. officials state that there ara
several of the councilmen who voted
against the passing of their ordinance
at the last meeting of the council WI
will vote for it at the meeting on Mon
day night, when the franchise will
again come mp for consideration.

to come to Canton by John Shorb, ST.,
to help build the first house Of wor-
ship of the st. Johns Catholic church.
which was among the first churches
built in Canton. Joseph Trout, ST.,
claimed that he was the first Ger-
man emigrant to settle in Canton, IA
one Of it's citizens, and / have never
heard it contradicted. That of itself
Is quite an honorable record. In later
years Joseph Trout, ST., built the two
story brick building yet standing OH
the northwest corner of Cleveland
avenue and Third street and there
died many years ago at an advanced
age. This house is still owned by the
TrOuts. In later years Joseph Trout,
jr., built the two-story frame building
just north of the brick building, but
on the same lot, and there is where
his widow with one or two of the
daughters still reside.
In looking over the "old land
marks" of this weeks article we can
not fail to observe two things. First.
The great change made in fifty years
and how soon our places are forgot
ten. Fifty years ago old Father
George Dunbar and his excellent wife
and their five sons and two daugh-
tiers were all married and
settled In Canton; now there
Is not one left to bear their
name. Only few distant relatives
and Of different name yet live here.
Truly the places that know us now
shall soon know us no more. Second.
Fifty years ago the southwest corner
of Eighth and Market streets had bet
ter and more attractive buildings
than are there today. Whoever owns
this very eligible and attractive cor
ner should speedily have It greatly
improved or else sell 1t at reason
able price to others who will inn
prove 1t. The new Mckinley hotel,
almost completed. directly east of this
corner, Is fine modern-style, six
story building; the block in which
Kenny Brothers have their store, di-
rectly north Of this, Is fine three
story building and then to look down
and see one-story franc
building standing on the corner
we have been describing. Is quite a
change and we feel sure all good citi-
zens who desire the best interests of
our growing city advanced would like
to SEQ this prominent corner I'M
proved. As our friends, the Masons,
are looking about for new quarters,
let them consider this historic and
valuable old corner.

ing from $40 to SIS for the first Of

An effort was made to have the legis-
lature amend the law so that arrests
could be made only upon complaint OF
the landowner, but this was defeated
and warden can cause an arrest
even IL the landowner had given ver-
bal consent and was willing for the
hunter to be upon his premises.
The quail and rabbit season does
not open until November and expires
with the first day of December. 1t Is
claimed that the squirrel law closes
on the first of September so that hun
ters will not shoot quail during Sep
tember and October.
Those who are familiar with the
habits of squirrels say that they have
been deprived of the best season OF the
year for shooting squirrels, namely, In
September, when they are working up
on the hickory nuts and when the
autumn days are ideal for the sport.
In August when the days are hot 1t
is almost impossible to find the squir-
rels. They feed early in the morning
and late in the evening and on moon
light nights are said to feed by moon
light. During the day they lie In
their holes or in dense foliage on the
highest trees and cannot be found by
the hunters.
The cutting out of the timber has
caused the squirrels to leave this part
OF Ohio For several years they have
been very scarce. but 1t is claimed
this season that they are fairly pleu-
tiful. Reports from the hunters wht
are going out will verify or disproTa
this statement. There are said to be
more fox squirrels than usual.

dNews-De mocrat Leased wIro servicsi
Shenandoah, Aug. 2.-President Fab
ey, of the miners began organizing a
peace committee this morning to pre-
serve order. He says that the miners
must see that disorderly men are put
in Jail.
General Goblin, of the national
guard, said today: IF the operators
want to resume work, they will. We
are not starting work, we are pre-
serving peace"
No work was done at the mines
here today.
Perfect quiet continued among tho
strikers last night and this morning
there was some throwing by the
strikers, but the militia speedily put
a stop to this and the incident
amounted to nothing.
Generally there seems to be no dis
position on the part of the strikers to
participate in any further disturbance
and there seems no sign that the
troops here will have any occasion for
active service.
From sources in close touch with
the operators came the story that on
Tuesday next the attempt to break the
strike will be made. 1t is said that
the Cayuga and Oxford collieries near
Scranton are already in operation and
that the Delaware & Hudson company
stands ready to start another when
over the word is given.
The Delaware, Lackawanna C West
ern company has applications enough
from the former workmen to start the
Storrs mine and the Diamond colliery
the two employing 1,S40 men and
boys, but as yet no orders have been
received to open these mines.
General Goblin has not placed the
town under martial law, but he has
30 disposed the troops that no attack
could be made on any colliery in the
district without aid being within easy
call. There were stories afloat last
night of a general attack being plan
ned, but if anything of this kind was
when the strikers sympathizers saw
that to make a break of any kind
means encountering bay)nets and
guns.

master for some time. For some yearS
he lived in frame house that stood
on the lot where Kenny Brothers
big store is now located. The last
years of his life were spent in his
home at the southeast corner Of
Cleveland avenue and Third street,
where he died many years ago. He
was quite old at the time of his death.

George Dunbar, jr, who built tho
house we illustrate, had but two chill
dren, son, named George, who left
in early life for the west and died
when but young man, and Ethalin-
da Dunbar, who married a Methodist
minister by the name Of High. She
has also been dead for some years.
When the first excitement brokS
out about the discovery of gold in
California in 1S49, George Dunbar left
his pleasant home just spoken of, and
went to California. Almost all of the
journey had to be made overland,
and 1t took from six to eight weeks
hard travel to 60 from this region to
California. Many lost their lives in
their first attempts to go there, some
being attacked by warlike Indians
and others by exposure and fatigue.
George Dunbar made the journey sue
cessfully but died shortly thereafter.
To the best of my recollection all the
Dunbars, from the youngest to the old
! est, were Democrats, but they had the
respect of the Wings and others op-
posed to them in politics.
After the death OF George Dunbar,
who built the home illustrated, the
widow remained there for few
years, after which the late George w.
Raff bought the property and occu-
pied II for several years, after which
he sold 1t to l.. v. Bockius, who was
married In 1885 and very soon there
after moved into this same house. He
never added much to it, but kept 1t
In good repair and we'll painted. Mr..
Bockius and family continued to 1.-Two

Mrs. Bockius, who is still living, says
that all their children were born in
this house.
Before George Dunbar built his fine
cottage home on the corner of Mar
ket and Eighth streets there stood
there two-story frame building
which was occupied 80 years ago by

TRAAlP
Built the Foundation Of
Millionaire Hopper's
Fortune.

Unionville, O., Aug. 1.--No matter
how seedy or how disreputable in ap-
pearance he may be no tramp Is ever
denied square meal at the home OF
Mrs. George w. Hopper here, or at
her summer cottage. Driftwood, on the
lake. Tramps know this, but they do
not know that the gratitude OF the
family goes with every hand-out to
an unknown tramp who laid the
foundations of the Hopper fortune.
Years ago George w. Hopper, now
deceased, was an employe of the Stan
dard Oil company. He was employed
in the department in which the bar
rels were painted before being filled.
Though the barrels were thoroughly
painted outside the coal oil always
soaked through the wood, causing the
paint to peel off and the barrels TO
leak. One day a tramp whom Hopper
had fed was hanging around the paint
shed. He heard Hopper say that he
wished he knew how to paint barrels
80 that the oil would not come out.
The tramp told him to fill the barrels
with water and then paint them.
When the paint was dry pour out the
water and fill them with oil. Hopper
tried the experiment and 1t worked.
The royalties and the advancement
obtained by Hopper through this bit
of advice brought him wealth in a
few years. Though the method has
been given up long ago Hopper owed
his start to that one thing alone.
When Hopper died two years ago
he left fortune estimated at from ST.
O00, 900 to $3,000,000. He had tried to
find the unknown man who had
proved his benefactor, and he declared
that could he find him the tramp
should be made a rich man. But he
never found the hobo. Hopper really
exchanged a dinner for a fortune.

Very few Of our citizens passing on
West Eighth street and seeing the
building on the southeast corner of
Eighth and Court streets, now oc-
cupied by ]. A. II. Greenwood as a
restaurant, realize that the building
when first built was the home Of
some of the best families in Canton,
yet such is the fact.
The house was built about 65 years
ago, as the residence of George Dun
bar. 1t originally stood on the south
west corner of Market and Eighth
streets, Immediately across the street
from the new Mckinley hotel. When
first built 1t was considered one of
the incest residences in Canton, and
our picture gives q good idea of the
outside appearance at that time, but
when 1t was moved to the west end
of the lot and converted into a busi-
ness room the foundation was made
much lower than before. The whole
front was changed and the nice, pro-
jecting cornice in front taken down.
The side cornice on Court street has
been left as originally built and the
pitch of the roof Is as at first built,
but outside of these two features the
house would not be recognized as the
pleasant home Of George Dunbar and
family.
George Dunbar was an excellent
and intelligent citizen, chairmaker
by trade. He had four brothers and
two sisters, all active and useful cit
liens. They were, Captain John E'
Dunbar who was quite an artist; VII
liam Dunbar, who was an excellent
school teacher and who was also ad-
mitted to the bar for the practice of
law. At one time he edited and pub
lished the Stark County Democrat.
Ye afterwards moved to Mt. Vernon
where he published Democratic pa
per and was a useful and active Cit
izen until his death some yearsago; Ro-
bert Allison Dunbar, who was tor
many years in the sheriff's Office
either as sheriff or deputy, and was
quite popular; Horace p. Dunbar. who
was lawyer of considerable reputa-
ton and influence in his day. The
one sister wasMrs. Sewers, the wife
OF the late Judge Eli Sewers, and the
other was married to DR.. John Sala

GIRL RAN AWAY.

Geneva, o., Aug. 1.--Miss Ida Weeks,
daughter of d. Weeks of Tuttle av3-
nue., has been missing from home since
Jnly ID. Miss Weeks left home shortly
after 8 o'clock in the morning, on the
pretense of going to the store to pur-
chase some dress goods. AS she did
not return, the family made inquiries
but up to date have heard nothing from
the girl.
They are of the opinion that some
one has influenced her to leave her
parents and go elsewhere. Miss Weeks
is not quite seventeen years of age
