EXPLOSION IN MINE
But All Workmen Escaped.

(News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.)
Fairmont, w. Va, March 17.-An ex-

were at work. All escaped without
injury. The explosion did but little
damage to the property and the escape
of the miners is almost miraculous.

IN down to make room for al
larger and more modern hotel,
it has appeared quite proper that the
old building should be illustrated as
it stood in the last days.
In 1914 George Stidger put up the
first two-story brick building on the
corner of Tuscarawas and Court
streets. Mr.. Stidger kept hotel there
short time. but most of the time
he lived in Canton, he lived on the
east side of the north public squire. He
was the father of Mrs. Harriet X.
Whiting, who Is still with us, also OF
the late Mrs. ]. G. Lester and Of o. p.
Stidger and John Stidger who went to
California some years ago and died
there.
| After George Stidger gave up the
hotel business, Jacob and Henry
Troup kept the hotel in the same
building for some time The Troups
were brothers of Mrs. John Graham
and uncles of Mrs. l.. Renick who
still lives with her daughter, Mrs.
w. l.. Alexander, at l718 North Cleve-
land avenue, this city. After that the
property passed into the hands of Mar
tin Lohr, who was one of Canton's
pioneer merchants. He occupied the
whole house during his life time
the front corner room for his store
and the balance of the house for his
residence. After the death of Martin
Lohr, his nephew, Hiram Myers, the
brother of H. H. Myers, who still lives
in Canton, kept store in the same
room for some time, after which he
opened a hotel in the same building,
calling the house the Franklin house.
He built up quite q hotel business
there and was afterwards succeeded
for while by John ID. Snider who
continued the hotel business under
the same name as started by NMr
Myers.
After that Hatcher and Ellison
bought the property and added another
story to the building and extended thu
same little farther north on Courl
street and west on Tuscarawas street
making 1t quite respectable three
story hotel for those days.
After the original ot. CiOuu notci
which stood where the First M. q
church now stands. was destroyed b,
fire in 1853. the proprietors, Buckiu
and Hawk, bought out Hatcher and Ell
lison and continued the hotel business
there for several years, taking witt
them the name Of St Cloud, and Il
most of our citizens that name Is con
nected with the old Hurford hous
locality, but It was started by Buckiu

HOW TO PREPARE 1T.

Sprinkle each pile in turn, shovel
ing thoroughly, knowing how much
solution is applied; continue in each
case until the solution tends to run
out on the floor despite the shoveling.
Usually half gallon or more per
bushel may be sprinkled on the first
round, when the one pile is passed for
few minutes while another is ham
died in the same way. Upon second
sprinkling Of each pile as much solu-
tion is used as will be held; then with
third or fourth repetition the gallon
per bushel may be used. After this
shovel over and leave in low fiat piles
over night, or for. not less than four
hours. The seed may then be spread
thin on floor and shoveled over oc-
casionally to dry out for drilling, or
1t may be sown wet If broadcasted.
II in weather when proper drying Of
the seed is secured, the treatment Of
the seed may precede the time of'sow-
ing by some weeks. Seed treated in
this manner is not poisonous, though
scarcely suitable to be fed to horses.

mers.

The farmers of Stark county will
be interested to know that the state
experiment station at Wooster has
discovered a very simple method by
which smut in oats can be prevented
by the use Of formalin, which, is
solution of formaldehyde, the recently
discovered germacide. This drug can
be purchased at the local drug stores
in Canton at about GO cents pound.
The following is the statement sent
out from Wooster:
Farmers who grow oats know how
much grain is at times destroyed by
smut; the amount of smut ranges from
almost nothing to one-third, or in ex-
treme cases even one-half, the entire
yield. On an average 1t Is computed
that this loss is not less than percent
Of the annual Ohio oat crop, or $3.50,
900 to $500, 900 each year. This loss Is
practically all preventible by a sim
pie method of treating the seed oats
to kill the smut pores that are sown
with the seed only, and the experiment
station has proved this method to its
entire satisfastion.
THE BOLLEY METHOD.
This is known rs the formalin
method of Bolley. FoTmalin is clear
liquid, a solution of formaldehyde in
water, and may be purchased at drug
stores for about so cents per pound.
Each pound is sufficient to stir into
so gallons of water and will treat 81
bushels of seed oats; l ounce is enough
for three gallons of water and will
treat bushels of oats. The amount
purchased will be determined by the
number of bushels of oats to be treat
ed.
The formalin Is not poisonous
though not wholesome; it is well to
avoid smelling of the strong solution
as purchased, because it Is irritating
to the nostrils. The very dilute solu-
ton used for oat smut is not objection
able.
Having the solution made at the rate
of 1 ounce of formalin to three gallons
of water, well stirred, and a gallon OF
Of solution to each bushel of seed to
be treated, apply this with sprink-
ling can to the oats in piles on @
tight floor. Grain piles should not ex.
ceed about bushels and the number OF
piles will follow from the amount OF

Oh in what bliss my days would glide
 With you my charmer at my side;
 To hear you speak or softly sigh
 And on your tender bosom lie;
 Angels are not more blest above
 Than I should then be with my love-"
 What editor of this enlightened day would seriously publish line of what we have quoted in their magazine? Poetry was the only vehicle for lovers or the ballad makers. Beautiful ladies were compared to angels, the latter al- ways suffering in comparison, and the bliss of love elevated above the bliss of heaven; while the 'gods" are.appealed to. to guard, protect and bless the flair One."
 This style of expression was encour- aged by the women of the day and adopted by them in their 'replies" to their admirers sOnnets. But in the field of mind there exists the same laws which govern the cultivation of those of the earth. The magazine of the day affords the best picture of the literary features of a people. and who ever will compare the magazine of the past century with that of the present will be profoundly impressed with the weakness and bad taste of the former, and feel pride in the dignity, worth and high moral and intellectual tone of the latter. Now it is one of the greatest media of intellectual civiliZa- tion and dissemination of the thoughts of mankind under the present aspect of the reading age.-[ Mrs l. M. Sharpe.

REVIEW OF A MAGAZINE
OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.--FOR
 THE BEE.

OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS oLD.--FOR
 THE BEE
 Perhaps there is no feature of the current literature that has undergone such a change as our magazines Scott founded new school which superseded the sentimental, Byron presented model for Epic poets, and Moore for lyric, Sparks for biography. and Prescott for histoy. Every class of literature has undergone revolu- tion and taken a more elevated tone and position. Magazine literature which does not possess gravity enough to be committed to volumes, has passed through change as surprising as it is great, and important. The date of the periodical is characteristic of the age in which it was published, yet this m agazine in it's day, was regarded as the nucleus of whatever constituted taste, pOliteneSS, wit and fashion. Charles Fox and Sheridan did not scorn to enliven it by their genius, The polite editor pledged himself that delicacy of sentiment and chastity of selection shall be seduously adhered to in the ''conduct of the work" Let us look over the pages of "Woman's Thoughts" at the period when our grandmothers were belles and see with what offering she was content to have offered to her shrine. The mind of woman now is fed with more nour- ishing food, her intellect is fostered by a more vigorous exercise of the under standing, her reasoning powers and her judgements are cultivated and she has taken the equal position of man, which is intellectually her true one. Trite allusiOn to the classics, which good taste has now rejected as puerile and pedantic, were then deemed the flower and gem of verse. We shall crop a !, few which we shall offer:
 "Maidens like tulips lose their charms When sickness beauty's claim disarms" Shall we call the above mysterious lines?" Here is one that relates to ''Earthly Happiness.
 Say dear Phyllis wouldst thou find l A heart completely blest?
 l Then treat captive prisoner kind | And lodge it in thy breast''
 "Now own at once there's more than name

A SKETCH.
WRITTEN FOR THE BEL

With the old schoolhouse on the hill we have 1 taken our farewell. We shall never meet there in the sun and rain, On that steep and grassy hill again. Where are now the bithe young feet That came so often, that ran so fleet? Where are the play houses marked out witt, stones laid on the grass The mimic cupboard, the nicked out china and broken glass! The boys and girls at grown up play? The happy hours Cf many a day. It is so long since we were there together In spite of high winds and the weather; We used to sit on benches made of blanks And he boys threw paper wads for pranks, And some girls just loved to encourage more By tossing them back across the floor. It would be vain to attempt to tell All the frolcs that there befell, or all the lessons gained with tears Or conqucred' by some secret fears. Truth old fountain supplied the store. And we received what had been taught before. Although our games disturbed them OCT and Don't you remember, schoelmates, this old At recess time. or at the noon day? "Oh happy is the miller who lives by himself; As the wheel goes 'round he gathers up his
 wealth.
 One hand on the hopper, the other on the bag, As the wheel goes round he sings out-grab!
 Then the chOrus:- "Oh, aren't you d little bit ashamed of this? oh, aren't you little bit ashamed of this? Oh, aren't you a little bit ashamed of this? Oh. aren't you a little bit ashamed of this To stay all night for one sweet kiss?" From school days we'll now take our leave But always to them cleave. My Muse,-my friends,- Pardon, please with some amends.
