MONEY IS PLENTIFUL
The Dime Savings Bank Now

Money in the saving bank is sure
indication of the prosperity of city,
and Canton is certainly prosperous If
the deposit of the Dime Savings Bank
has now $550,000 on deposit and is at
present more anxious to secure bor-
rowers than money. This surplus of
funds is an evidence of the soundness
and solidity of Canton and her present
prosperity. There are few cities of
the country that can boast Of such a
situation that now confronts Canton
and the plethora of money is an invi-
tation for people to purchase property

money and the demand for improve
ments, and as a result the next few
years will bring about a development
that will astonish the oldest citizen.

OLD SOLDIER STRUCK
On Saxton Street and White
Arrested on Charge of
Atte pied Robbery
Woman in Case.

Theodore Meyers, a former United
States soldier and who served in the
Philippines during portion of the
Spanish war, was assaulted on SaXton
street Tuesday night and an attempt
was made to rob him. Meyers as
sailant dealt him a vicious blow under
the left eye with brass knucilers and
then in an effort to snatch his watch
tore all the buttons from his coat.
Willis White, well known charac-
ter about SaXton street, was arrested
some time later at the instigation OF
Meyers and was locked up on the
charge of assault with intent to rob,
White admits that he struck Meyers,
but said that he made no attempt to
rob him.
Meyers arrived in Canton Tuesday
morning from Buffalo, n. Y. He left
his baggage at a place on South Cher
ry street and started to look for work.
He secured position with the Canton
Boiler works.
Later in the day Meyers met White
and asked him to help him locate n
boarding place. When they started
on the quest, it was about o'clock.
Meyers said that he had promised IL
give White so cents although he had
demanded 81.
AS they walked along the street
Meyers said that another man follow
ed them at n short distance. On Sax
ton street, between Ninth and Tenth
streets, White turned suddenly on
him, Meyers declared, and dealt hin,
a stinging blow in the face, using .
pair of brass "lnucks." Meyers said
that as the blow was delivered. some
body snatched for his watch, tearing
the buttons from his coat. Meyers
frustrated the attempted robbery and
escaped from the men toward the Ft
Wayne station. A message was tele-
phoned to the police station and Cfi-

paper to certain politicians who have
been anxious to buy 1t for some years.
Tripp refuses to give out any infor-
nation on this line, but 1t is certain
that If he and his son go into the
office, some one else will have to run
the paper.
The defeated candidates are up In
the air and are swearing all sorts OF
vengeance, but so far they have not
found out just where the blow came
from and there is some doubt as to
where they are to direct their scheme

A good deal of nonsense has also
been talked concerning what is termed
the straight fronted walk" which has
been condemned by the critics Of the
new corset as "assertive" and "affect-
ed"
Now, there always will be women
who walk well and women who walk
badly. A few years ago, in the days of
tight lacing the former were in a very
small minority. 1t was impossible for
a woman to walk we'll when her body
was so compressed that she was unable
even to breathe properly. But now
nearly all well bred women walk and
carry themselves" beautifully, thanks
not only to the abandonment of tight
lacing and unduly high heels, but to
the fact that so many forms of sport
and exercise, tennis and fencing espe-
cially, have become fashionable for
women and excellent aids to deport-
ment, bestowng on their devotees
grace, agility and the art Of balancing
the body to perfection.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1902-07-04

For many a long year war has been
waged against tight lacing, and at last
Dame Fashion has veered to the same
side; hence the new corset.
1t is perfectly true that the straight
corset increases the size of the waist,
but it also decreases the size below the
waist and produces slender. graceful
and naturally proportional figure with
out eXerting any of the pressure that
prevailed in the days when small
waists were fashionable.
1t is, of course. absolutely necessary
that straight corsets should really be
cut to follow the lines of the figure &C.
curately and give support only where
II Is needed.
Suspenders attached to the corsets do
not pull the figure forward. but keep
the corset In place and prevent 1t slip
ping up or becoming unfastened, which

A few misguided persons have de-
cried the new straight fronted corset
as unnatural, inelegant and in other
uncomplimentary terms. Even the
harmless, necessary stocking support
ers usually attached to the waist have
been described as leathern bands for
holding the figure forward in a posi-
ton approximating the once stylish
Grecian bend.
Other DIRECTORS to the most sensible
corsets that have been invented are
evidently persons who have not re-
allied that an IS inch waist represents
not beauty, but deformity and, in the

garity also, or that woman's natural
