BIGGEST CORN CROP

plus Of Blackberries
Saturday.

Spectators in oats went wild in a
frantic effort to cover Saturday. Re-
ports that Patten had stepped out of the
buying led to the excitement and the
pricS dropped 16 cents in a few min
utes. Later, on denial, the price raj
lied u cents. All grains we're weak
er, however, and the indications are
that prices for actual transaction will
go lower all along the line.
The reports of II. G.. Dun & Co.,
show that there are prospects of the
biggest corn crop the country has ever
known. Wheat and oats also promise
big yields, although there are certain
sections where the weather is un-
favorable.
The wool market continues to show
slight advances and has very firm
tone.
Prices in Canton Monday are the
same as at Saturdays closing hour,
except that blackberries are slightly
higher. Some of the dealers who were
overstocked Saturday night sold rs
low as 6 cents to close out stock.

Prosecutor Day was seen with ref
erence to the arrest of William Craw-
ford, who is held on the charge of
having killed Vincent Hill at the Bar
nett house Saturday morning. Mr..
Day said:
II do not know more about the case
than the police have discovered. We
thought it sufficient to hold him. The
prisoner has not made any explanation
as to where he got the money that was
in his possession, and he has made a
number of conflicting statements that
look very suspicious. Aside from these
circumstances, I know nothing Of the
case"

Charge M Made In Divorce
Suit
AGAINST JOHN OFT
Woman Married Twenty Ono
Years Seeks Oivorce -
Claims Husband 10
q BisamIst.

Mary OFT has filed petition in COM
mon pleas court against John OFT, in
which she asks to have the marriage
contract that has held her and John
as man and wife for 81 years annulled
on the ground that John had another
wife living when he married her. Sho
does not ask divorce. She tried that
some time ago, and the courts refused
to grant the decree for the reason
that Mary could not make case suffi-
ciently strong. There were said to be
some shortcomings on her part which
prevented this.
Failing in her first endeavor, she
now takes a new tack and tries to get
rid of her husband by proving that
a former wife still lives. They were
married in Marlboro and have five
children. In her petition she says
that John was married to Christiana
Yeatter in Portage county in 1858.
They were separated and each married
again. The wife was a German wom-
absence Of three years she did notnee
a divorce. OFT claimed he thought hd
was divorced.
1t was not until 1897 that Mrs. OFT
says she discovered the true relations
of herself and husband. She now asks
that the marriage contract be annulled
and that OFT be divested of all his
rights in her real estate.
Attorney ]. P. Fawcett is attorney
for the plaintiff. The husband is at
present living at Upper Sandusky,
Ohio, and summons was sent to the
sheriff Of that county to serve upon
him.

NESTING WOOD DUCKS.

The CourtahIp Period Is Followed
by n Very PrOsnic Married Life.
When a pair OF wood ducks find
water and a hollow tree to suit, little
time is lost in preparing the nest. This
task and the covering Of the eggs are
performed by the female, for, to the
best of my knowledge, the male does
little more than sit around on handy
limbs and look pretty. During the
period OF nest building and while the
duck is laying he is the beau ideal of
handsome and loving cavalier, ever at
tentive and seemingly most anxious as
to her whereabouts should she happen
to get out of his sight. But with the
waning of the honeymoon he seems to
feel rather bored with the whole bust
ness, and gradually he gets chubby.
e., wanders from his own tireslde and
hunts up another drake or two to help
him loaf away the summer. The busy
little duck keeps her own counsel and
sits tight OH the dozen or more highly
polished ivorylike eggs crowded to-
gcther in bed OF soft decayed wood
and down from her breast.
quite frequently the nest is at the
bottom OF hollow several feet deep,
ana no doubt the strong, hooked claws
of the wood duck are special pro-
vision for the oft repeated climbing out
