BEYOND DOUBT.
These Facts Must Convince
Every Canton Reader.

That which follows is the experience
Of resident of Canton. Incredulity
cannot exist about the statement be-
cause It can easily be investigated.
Mr.. Victor Trommenschlager grocer,
of Housel and Navarro streets, says:
1T would be impossible to give great
er praise to Doan's Kidney Pills than
their great value deserves Some
three years ago Mrs. Trommenschlager
suffered severely from kidney troub-.
lie and was unable to walk without
terrible pains in her back. A friend
advised the use of Doan's Kidney Pills
and procured them for her at the
Durbin g. Wright Co., 1876 South Mar
ket street. The result in a short time
was a surprise to her and she con-
tinued the treatment. The use of sew
eral boxes absolutely cured her. Later
on, myself had occasion to use this
remedy, and the prompt result OBJ

probation of Doan's Kidney Pills"

Brother.in.Law's Claim
Oisallowed.
BETTER BANKRUPTCY
Case Develops a New Feature
--The Creditors Will Get
About SO Cents on
the Dollar.

Attorney George H. Clark, of Canton,
who was appointed trustee to take
charge of the affairs Of William Bet
ter, the clothing merchant of Minerva,
received word from Cleveland, Satur-
day morning that the referee in bank
ruptcy had refused to allow the claim
of Bernard Wolgemuth, which amounts
ed to $4,000.
Wolgemuth is brother-in-law Of
Better. He claimed that Better had
owed him $500, and that some time
before he went into voluntary bank
ruptcy he had paid him $2,500 upon the
claim. This left balance due of $3,-
200.
The ruling of the referee was that
there was doubt about the validity OF
the claim, and that as the payment
had been made less than four months
before the filing of the bankruptcy pc
tition, it was illegal, and that IL
Wolgemuth wanted HIS claim allowed
he would have to return the $2,500.
This he will not do, and the whole
amount has thus been rejected.
The attorneys for the creditors,
Messrs. Craine & Snyder, ana j. J.
Clark, are threatening to bring an ac-
tion against the brother-in-law to re-
cover the $4,000 which he admits hav-
ing received, SO that it can be applied
to the claims of the general creditors.
According to the facts and figures
now attainable, Better's creditors will
receive about so cents on the dollar.
The largest claimant is Farmer Jack
Adams, who lives on the Mckinley
farm near Minerva.
CRUELTY ALLEGED.
Matte G. Dever, Of Canton, has sued
Ellis H. Dever for divorce, alimony
and the custody Of the three children.
The husband has been enjoined from
visiting his wife or in any way inter-
fering with her, the children or prop
erty.
The petition, which was filed Satur-
day morning, accuses the husband of
extreme cruelty, in that he choked his
wife and threatened to kill her. He
used vile and indecent language, and

the petitioner.
SETTLED THE CASE.
The damage case Of Samuel Lefiie
against the Bonnot company has been
settled out Of court, Leffle agreeing to
accept certain amount of money in
satisfaction Of his claim. The amount
has not been made public, but 1t Is sew

Leffie was injured while in the em-
ploy Of the company, having his ankle
crushed under a heavy casting. He
brought suit to recover damages. He

Through the United Fruit company,
that great American corporation, II is
United States money that Is support
ing Costa Rica. The company has i'm
mense banana plantations and has
built the Great Northern railroad. It
is spending anywhere from $4,000 to
100000 month in the purchase price
of fruits. 1t pays 81 cents in gold for
every bunch of flrst-class bananas on
the plantation. 1t ships out of the
country one ship load a day, carrying
from $4,000 to 10000 lunches. 1t has
built the Great Northern railroad and
will extend 1t to the City of Mexico if
the canal is built In fact, you find
already the nucleus for splendid
American community in the two coun-
tries.
Costa Rica's natural wealth may be
judged from the fact that all expenses,
national, state and municipal, are rais-
ed from internal revenue, import and
export taxes, there being no taxes on
land.
REMOVES THE BARNACLES.
by the way, somebody down there
suggested novel thing to me in con-
nection with the fresh-water phase of
the Nicaragua proposition. In the
case of the Panama canal, no portion
of the route would be entirely fresh
water. In the Nicaragua canal the so
miles across the lake and. the GA IA
miles through San Juan river would
be all fresh-water sailing. 1t would
clean from the ships bottoms all salt
water barnactes, which do such incal-
rIIIqhIn danlaOn IN chinntnu nj
the world.
III anybody can explain how they
are going to secure foundation at
Panama, he will satisfy some people
in Nicaragua who would like to know
In the official report of the United
States on the two routes, an earth dam
with rock core on good solid rock
foundation is condemned in connection
with the Nicaragua plans and the
same earth dam with a rock core,
built on the shifting sands of Panama,
is recommended. People down there
laugh over these things"

East Liverpool, Ohio.
Gentlemen: AS Mr.. Bielefeldt told
me that it was your wish for me to
state my opinion as to the value OF
the veins whereon / am working at
present under contract. ! would say
that / have been working in all the
principal mines in San Juan, San
Miguel and Ouray counties, Colorado,
and must say that these two veins on
the Oscealo and King William ground
in which am working now will alone
make as big mine as have worked
in; there is more ore in sight with
the development work now done than
many a mine with three times the
amount of work done. H
Having gone over the Flat Broke
Treasury Extension and four or five
other claims Of your group last sum
mer found a perfect net work Of
veins all over the ground and heavy
mineral in all of them.
II properly worked / think you will
have the largest mine of any I have
ever seen, in one word you have a
mountain Of mineral which you will
be able to work for years and years,
and you will also be able to mill and
ship your product with less expense
than any mine around this district,
because most mines have tram ways
from one thousand to five thousand
feet long over which they must send
their ore to the mill. You can ar
range SO as to dump your ore direct
from the tunnel car into the mill, and
by SO doing save at least 80 to 40 cents
per ton. am respectfully.

WILL AMER|CAN|zE
TWO REPUBLICS
Wo onderfuI Prospects Of Nicar-
aqua and Costa Rica, II
Their Route 10 Adopted
BY the United States.

"The effect of building the Isthmian
canal over the Nicaragua route will
be to Americanize the little republics
of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Two
years from the time of the completion
of the canal over that route will see
those countries American colonies in
all but name"
That was the message from Central
America that Mr.. James G. Deidricll
of the News-Democrat Publishing
company, brought back with him
when he returned a few days ago from
q months trip to the Isthmus. Mr..
Deidrick made painstaking effort to
discover the true merits of the Pan
anna and Nicaragua routes for the ca
nal and after an investigation, which
included visits with the best known
advocates of both routes in that coun-
try, came back enthusiastically in
favor of Nicaragua as against Pan
anna
THE canal means everything tC
Nicaragua and Costa Rica," continued
Mr.. Deidrick. Those little republics
will give the United States almost
anything it asks to secure the adoption
of their route. The interests there are
very friendly to the United States and
are becoming more and more friendly
with each passing year. The better
class Of the people in each republic
fears a Peon government, and there
is already an element there which
would meet the United States half
way in a movement to put themselves
under the protection of this nation.
INFLUX OF AMERICANS.
Following the building of the canal
through Nicaragua would come an in
flux of Americans. There is every
facility for development along the
route, and the country is virgin soil
and very fertile. No finer, more even
climate can be found, and the country
could not but become immensely
wealthy in very few years.
THAT was the phase OF the situation
that struck me most forcibly. Com
pare Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with
their soft sea breezes, their splendid
natural bodies of water, lakes, and
navigable streams and their even winds
and equable temperature with Colon
the terminus OF the Panama route
fever-stricken, pestilence breeding
with no watershed or fresh water sup
ply, with no chance of development
with hostile government and turbu-
lent population which could not live
at peace with the United States. At
Colon green scum covers the water
in the city. There is a problem which
engineers say has yet to be solved as to
whether the locks could be kept from
going dry. From the North Atlantic
and North Pacific to the entrances tc
the Panama route would requite sew
eral hundred miles further sailing than
by going via Lake Nicaragua.
