ing in Association Hall tonight under
the auspices of Trinity church organ

forestalled by the abrogation of the con

Stone disappointed her audience by

1t seems that when she made arrange

remember that she had signed a con-
tract with F. G.. Cromer, of the Mi
ami Valley Chautauqua, which will be
held at Franklin, Ohio, not to appear
within a radius of 80 miles Of that place

PREACHER USED SHOT
GUN ON ASSAlLANT
Man Who Tested His Courage
Was Filled Full Of
Lead.

Inez, KY, June 20.-Rev. ira Estepp,
aged 54, for fifteen years a minister in
the United Baptist church, shot and
probably fatally wounded Thomas
Stafford.
Estepp and Stafford were farm
hands for a man named Preston, and
to test Estepp's combativeness, 1t is
said that Preston persuaded Stafford
to raise row with Estepp. Stafford
started the quarrel and called Estepp
liar. Estepp is said to have resented
the insult by giving Stafford a sound
thrashing.
Stafford, It is claimed, went home,
procured pistol and returned, declar-
ing he would kill Estepp, but was
prevented by bystanders. Stafford
then hid in the forest along the road
where Estepp had to travel and lay in
wait for him, firing five shots, but none
took effect. Estepp then fired a doub-
lie barrel shotgun, filling Stafford full
of shot.
Estepp became noted as the preacher
who was tried three times and finally
silenced because he complied with the
dying request of his daughter and bap-
tized her by pouring. He was restored
just a few months ago.

RIVAL OF MARc0NI
Fesse NJ den's System May be
Purchases by Big Telegraph
And Cable Company
Successful.

Norfolk, Va, June 21.-Prof. Regin-
aid A. Fessenden, the new wizard of
the air and waves. arrived in this
city on his way to Roanoke island.
where he, with several assistants, will
resume experiments In wireless tel
egraphy which began four months ago.
Accompanying the Professor were Chief
Electrical Engineer F. w. Jones, Of
the Postal Telegraph and Commercial
Cable company, and operator Barrett,
of the Norfolk office of the same COM
pany. There were also several other
officials of the cable company en- route
to witness the experiments, but who
were not in company with the inven-
tor because they did not desire the
rumor that the company, with James
Gordon Bennett at the back of it. was
contemplating the purchase Of the Fes-
sender patent confirmed.
In an interview with a party in close
touch with tho Postal company 1t was
learned that the company does intend
acquiring control of Prof Fessenden's
invention, and If the experiments at
Roanoke island come to tho expecta-
tions of the officials of the company
who will be present, the system will
pass out of the hands of the inventor
INTO the control OF the Postal Telegraph
and Commercial Cable company. A
feature of the invention of Prof Fes-
sender is that the same code is used
by him in sending wireless messages
as is used by the telegraph company.
Operator Barrett. considered one Of
the speediest operators of the Morse
code in the south, who went with Prof.
Fessenden and the party to Roanoke
island, will endeavor to break all rec
ords in sending and receiving messages
by the wireless system. Chief Engin-
eer Jones, who has himself patented
many instruments that are used by all
telegraph and cable companies, goes
with the party to ascertain whether
his instruments can be used with the
wireless system. II it can be done
successfully the cable company will
have all 1t asks for and the wireless
system will pass into its hands, and
Prof. Fessenden will be engaged to
manage the system until he takes
UP the work on his new invention, the
wireless telephone.

ROOSEvELT'S FRIEND
GUEST AT WHITE HOUSE
President Excites Commen ut by
Entertaining official at Ex-
ecutive Mansion.

Washington, d. c., June 20.-Gen.
Leonard Wood, formerly governor
general of Cuba, has taken up his res
idence in the white house. He will
live there for some time at least, and
possibly while he Is in lsnington,
until he departs for Germany to wit
ness the maneuvers Of the Prussian
army.
When Gen. Wood returned from
Cuba he took apartments in the Ever
ett, one of the fashionable fat build
ings at Washington. At the presi-
dents request he moved to the white
house yesterday morning and is now
comfortably installed in one of the
large rooms on the second floor Of the
mansion.
The action of President Roosevelt
in inviting as a visitor an official, up
on whose acts he will be called to
pass, Is regarded as unprecedented
here. Wood was the colonel of the
famous regiment Of rough riders when
Roosevelt was the ieutenant-colonel
of the regiment and he and the pres
ident have been warm friends for
many years. Still, the critics of the
president say their relations are not
sufficiently close to justify the presi-
dent in making the general member
of his family.

CORSET STAY
Saved Wouid-B Suici de, Who
Used Revolver and
Rope.

Springfield, O., June 20.-Mrs. Josie
Buckner, wife of John Buckner, of 31S
Harrison street. shot herself five
times in the left breast with revolver
and would have fired another shot. but
the cartridge failed to explode. She
then tied a rope about her neck and
was trying to strangle herself, when
neighbor, Mrs. Moore, who heard the
shots, entered the wood shed and took
the rope from her.
If she lives she can thank her corset
stay for it. One bullet aimed directly
at the heart struck the stay and
glanced off.
No cause is assigned for the deed.
She told her husband she did it be-
cause she wanted to leave this world.

That WaynesburgYouths
Can't Reach.
GIRLS FORM A CLUB
Agreeing to Re M In Spinsters
Rather Than Tempt Unhap-
pincss With Men Who
Are Not Perfect.
(Staf Specially

Waynesburg, June 21.-This city has
q bachelor girls club" with mem.
bership Of Seven, that is the atlk Of
the town. The girls belonging to 1t
are among the most eligible in the
community, and why they have fore
sworn matrimony cannot be ascer-
talned, although some Of the most ex-
pert news gatherers in the Sandy val
ley have been camping on their trail
to endeavor to ferret out the motive
that prompted the organization Of the
club.
The meetings are held with regular
fly, but not the slightest inkling Of
what takes place In these gatherings
has been learned. 1t is reported that
the general cussedness of the men is
the chief reason. 1t is known that a
number of the girls read the reports of
the divorce cases as they appear in the
ws-Democrat, and that these ac-
counts of matrimonial infelicity have
had much to do with influencing the
maidens OF waynesburg to reach a
stage when they are ready under the
most strenuous of oaths to bind them
selves to singleness and an old maid s
career.
1t is understood that prior to tho
organization of the club, the girls had
banded themselves together and fixed
q standard of excellence to which men
have to attain, before they could be-
come eligible to the hand of any one OF
the seven. They were not to drink,
smoke, chew, swear, stay out az
nights to lodge or any other gathering
unless the wife was along with them,
there should be no love glances thrown
at the hired girls, patent combination
locks and pocketbooks were barred,
mother-in-laws were to be welcomed
with open arms, and every weakness to
which the average man gives way
was to be missing
After the standard had been set up,
the girls began measureing the mar
iageable young men by this yardstick
and there was not one but looked
worse than thirty cents or two feet to
the yard. The dissection of character
led them to desperate straits and the
bachelor club was the result.
There are symptoms in one or two
cases of breaking over and from the
dire threats of vengeance that are
heard from the other girls it is sur
missed that the oath that has been
taken by the members is one that
would curdle the blood of Malay
pirate.
The girls on the outside are having
picnic. They eat strawberries and
cream at the expense of the boys,
while the bachelor girls enjoy French
treats or go with papa and mama
when they Indulge in the luxuries of
the season.

CARROLLTON AFTER
t. EVANS TIN MILL
Will Give q Bonus TO Got the
Piant-- . torlal Cues.
fIon Aojtated,

Carrollton, June 2l.-The Hon.
Thomas Hays, of this place, is circul-
ating a petition which is being signed
by the prominent business men, George
ID. Evans, of Canton, superintendent of
the Carnahan tin plate works, to visit
Carrollton and look over its advantages
as a place to locate the new tin plate
mill that he is promoting. 1t is un-
derstood that a substantial bonus will
be given to secure the plant.
Wool dealers got after each other
this week and run the price UP from
23 to 25 cents. The result was that
within two days nearly all the wool in
the county was bought, aggregating
over half a million pounds. When the
dealers went around offering such pric-
es, the farmers knew that the top price
was being offered and tney sold quickly.
For her area Carroll is the leading
wool county in the state.
The Home laundry, which has had a
precarious existence for some time
past, has been discontinued, as the
proprietors could not compete with
the Canton concerns that DO business
in the town.
w. B. Crawford, Of Augusta, this
county, who was member of the state
board of equalization from this sena-
torial district, has announced that he
will be a candidate for state senator
to succeed Wilhelm of Stark. 1t is
possible that this country will fur
nish two candidates when the race
opens up. and there will be demand
made for the rights of Carroll.

ROOTS lTEmIzED
COST OF THE WAR
Total Bill Up TO Date 10 Over
$t7o 900, ,ooo--Soms
vIsabie Assets.

Washington, June 2L-Secretary
Root has made answer to the senate
resolution Of April II calling for infor-
nation as TO the cost OF the war in the
Philippines. 1t was shown that $780,
600 was advanced for the expenses OF
the Philippine commission originally
from the United States treasury, but
this amount afterward was reimbursed
out Of the Philippine treasury. For
railroad transportation of troops and
supplies to and from the Philippines
since the peace treaty was ratified
tho cost has been $4.SO3.44S.
Tho total cost to date is $170,326. $50.
The expenditures by fiscal years were:
1898 1.-TWO months, May and June,)
s2,6S6, $50; 1899, $26,230.673; 1900,
s5O,se9,543; 1901, $55,567,422; 1902.
s34, 1890 k-
Secretary Root concludes: "Atten-
uon is invited to the fact that large
quantities of valuable property, the cost
of which is included In the foregoing
statement, still remain on hand in the
Philippine islands for use. Parts OF
these supplies are already being re-
shipped to this country.
"A large part of the expense during
the past year should not properly be
treated as occasioned by military oper-
ations in the Philippine islands, as
1t consists Of pay and maintenance of
troops, which you would have had to
pay and maintain, whether they were
I'm the Philippines or not. The pres
ent scale Of expense in the Philippines
is greatly reduced because OF the con-
tinuous reduction Of the army, made
possible by the restoration of peaceful
conditions"

TOWN OF MASSILLON.

THE proprietors are now laying out,
and offer for sale, lots in the new town
of Massillon, situated on the Ohio can
al at the intersection of the great road,
leading from Pittsburg wesywardly
through New Lisbon, Canton Wooster
and Mansfield. 1t Is very conyen-
iently and pleasantly situated on the
east side of the Tuscarawas or Mus
kingum river, in the midst Of one Of
the most wealthy and fertile wheat
growing districts in the state Of Ohio.
1t occupies both banks of the canal,
having a large and comodious basin
near the center Of the town, with a
large number of warehouse lots laid
out adjoining so as to render 1t pc
culiarly convenient for commercial
business. The prices of the lots and
terms of payment may be known by
applying to Alfred Kelly, acting canal
commissioner; James Duncan one OF
the proprietors, who resides In that
town, or to John Saxton, agent for the
proprietor, in Canton"
- y -
Very soon men OF enterprise and
business capacity began to settle in
Massillon and build warehouses, store
rooms. and other buildings that soon
established its reputation of being the
Wheat City" In this region OF the
country. Among the early enterprls-
ing citizens may be named l.. and s.
Rawson, M. ID. and II. b. Wellman,
Jesse Rhodes, G. M. Russell and broth
ers, the Folgers, the Johnsons, Hurx-
thals, Thomas s. Webb, John II. Nc

occur to my mind at this time.
Perry township was surveyed and
named but a few months after the VIC
tory Of the u. 8. forces under the
command Of Commodore Oliver Fl.
Perry on Lake Erie, and therefore the
township was named Perry. Among
the early settlers Of Kendall and Mas

- One Hundred Years in Stark History
ohm D

1t hardly appears possible that one
hundred years ago the Tuscarawas
river (then called the Upper Musking-
UNI marked the line of civilization in
Ohio. The Tuscarawas river was the
the boundary line between the few cit
izens in Ohio and the Indians. At that
time the Indians had the whole pos
session of the territories west OF the
Tuscarawas, and their dress and gen.
eral appearance was more like our IL
lustration today than that of American
citizens. Because of this the town
ships of Sugar Creek, Bethlehem, Per-
ry, Tuscarawas and Lawrence were not
surveyed as early as were the town
ships in the central and eastern parts
of the county. Since that time Frank
lin and Green townships have been
taken off of Stark county to help form
the county of Summit.
The early settlement of the western
part of Stark county was not begun
until 1910, while the central and east
ern portions of the county were settled
. little earlier. Canton township was
settled as early as 1895. Previous to
that time the county was held as a
part OF Jefferson county and the land
Office was located up to that time at
6teubenville. James F. Leonard came
here in 1905 in company with James
and Henry Barber and settled little
northeast Of the present center Of our
city, probably quite near to what is
known as Crystal Park.
- - -
The town of Kendall was settled be.
fore the present city Of Massillon was
thought OF. This town or village Of
Kendall now forms one Of the wards
10 the northeastern part Of Massillon.
But before the Ohio canal was built
no settlement was known where the
center Of Massillon is now established.
