GAMBLING
Very Little Vow Compared WITH
olden Times.


oiden Times.
As a matter of fact, there is little
or no gambling now in the capitol com
pared with the conditions of years ago.
There used 10 be a time when certain
committee rooms were the rendezvous
for poker players. and the games were
generally without limit.
Many senators and representatives
90 not object to n little game now, but
they play in the evening and not at the
capitol. There were poker stories ga
lore around the capitol in the olden
DAYS. One incident became a classic.
There was Il party in the room of a
southern congressman. II the game
ran high. 4 western member opened
n Jack pot. and the southerner. who
was upon his left. came in. together
with Y other congressman. The west
erner stood pat. whereupon the south
erncr discarded two cards. The bet
ting began and soon became so swift
that only the southeraer and the west
erner remained. Finally the latter
called his colleague. and the hands
were shown.
The westerner had opened the pot on
four kings. As soon as he stood pat
the southerner broke n pair Of skies
and held the four. five and six of
spades in his hand. hoping against hope
to make n spade flush. He was dealt
the seven and eight of spades. making
a straight flush.
The western member didn't say n
word when he learned what had hap
pened. but II was noticeable that lie
didn't touch n card again during that
session. Wa Post.

ANOTHER
In Network Of Electric
Lines
INSTRUMENTATION
Stark Will Extend to Salem
and Connect With . cieve-
land and Pittsburs
Line.

Electric railways are still being
projected that are Of interest to Stark
county people, and which, II built,
will be another step in the direction
of making Canton the center of a great
system of electric lines. The latest
one that is being planned, and upon
which surveyors are now at work, is
to run from Pittsburg to Cleveland,
through Salem at which point It is
to connect with the Alliance and
Salem line, which is simply an extern.
sion of the Stark electric road now
building from Canton to Alliance. An
East Liverpool dispatch Of the 9Th has
the following:
A corps of civil engineers, number
ing dozen men, after working on the
preliminary survey for an electric
railway from Six-Mile Ferry at Pitts
burg to Cleveland, have reached
Georgetown, a small town on the o.. 90
river, four miles north of the city.
On Monday the engineers will move
their camp from Big Mill Creek to the
Ohio side of the river and will con-
tinue their survey to Salem, this coun-
ty, a distance of thirty miles, where
a connection will be made with the
AiIiduCC q OdIclu IulcCtiiC railway.
This latter road has a connection
with the road running into Canton,
and from there the line has con-
nection with the Canton & Cleveland
road running through Akron.
The surveyors have been at work
on this proposed road for the past
two months, and while their present
work is called the preliminary survey
the engineers are taking enough data
to make the estimates for the build
ing contractors.
The moneyed interests of this road
are said to be located in Cleveland,
Pittsburg and New York, and that in
the neighborhood Of $1,000,000 would
be spent on the construction Of the
road. From Georgetown the new road
will continue up Beaver Creek. route
over which the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road has much right of way, for the
construction of their extension from
Smiths Ferry to Warwick, o., where
connections would be made for Cleve-
land and Pittsburg.

DAGGER MAY RUN.
Still Another Cantonian Has
Congressional Ambitions
to Crafty.

A Sherrodsville correspondent to the
Carrcllton Republican Standard. has
the following relative to the congress
sional aspirations of William B. Dagger,
a Canton citizen who is developing a
stone quarry at ,Sherodsville:
w. B. Dagger, of Canton, who is op-
Grating the stone quarry at Prosperity,
is figuring on shying his castor into
the congressional ring as a successor
of Robert w. Taylcr. who recently de-
clined the nomination rendered him in
the Eighteenth district, Of which Starls
is a big faction. Mr.. Dagger is well
known and also we'll liked by the min
ers of the Massillon district and has n
host of friends in Stark county who
would only be too glad to whoop 'er
up for Dagger. Any man that sells
bricks as successfully as Dagger has,
is qualified to serve as congrt rtssman.
And II Dagger enters the race Sherods-
vile will look after his interests in the
mining districts. Keep your eye on
Congressman Dagger.

HALF MILLION
involved In Tax Case at Toledo
- Street Car Company
Made Defe n dant.

Toledo, O.. June For back taxes
for the years 1896 to 1900 Tax Inquis-
itor Mcfarland claims that nearly
s5oC,0)0 is due the county from the
car lines. Five different companies
which have been out of existence. were
cited to appear before the county au-
ditor. BARTON Smith represents the
Toledo Railways and Light company,
but denied representing any Of the
other companies, as he said they had
gone out of business and the present
company had nothing to do with them,
as it did not come into existence until
the others had ceased to exist. The
tax inquisitor claims that the Toledo
Railways and Light company assumed
all the liabilities of tbs old companies
and will have to pay these taxes. A
short time ago 100000 was sued for,
for the year 1901 alone.
1t is generally believed that these
claims will be settled before a final
sale of the stock Of the road is con-
summated, as those constitute cloud
on the title.

argument in support OF the Panama

To Beauty It's Right Of
Way.
MAY OFFER PRIZES
To Most Attractive Homes In
Villages Along It's Main
Lines Official
Talks.

For some time the Pennsylvania rail-
road company has had under advise
ment the question of offering premiums
for the best painted and most attrac-
tive house and barn in hamlets and
villages along the main lines, upon the
idea that the pride of the citizens will
be stimulated so that the general ap-
pearance of the small towns will be
greatly improved. The company be-
lieves that the example set by its
neatly painted stations will be followed
by the people If brought to their atten-
ton in striking way, resulting in not
only an improved appearance. but also
in the general prosperity of the towns
where the plan is tried.
In discussing the matter a Pennsyl-
vania official in Canton last evening
said:
For an example, take a cross. road
hamlet. which after a time through the
influence of certain of its citizens, il
dignifed as being classed as fiag
stop. Later on, as the business & ows,
the company will establish an agency
there. the express company will have
branch and then will come a postoff:ce.
Stationmaster, postmaster and express
agent are one and the same. and all
business is transacted in a small store.
which Is built as near as convenient
to the tracks. Through the good will
of the company station house and
residence combined will then be built
for the agent. It's roof will be sun
red, it's gable light shade and its body
a brown. Ten chances to one 1t will
stand alone as the only painted struct-
ure in the section. But the bright coll
ors and their attractveness will set
the farmers a-thinking. And one by
one barns and farm houses from hill
side to valley will take on coatings just
like their digni.led and prim neighbor.
The appearance of the hamlet is en-
tirely changed so that passengers in
stead OF having 10 look upon colorless.
bleak and somhre-hued roofs ana
weather beaten Houses see neat little
cottages surrounded by liviG-colored
onthouses.
Gradually the place takes on an air
Of prosperity. Some capitalist or in
vestor notices this as he passes, sends
his agent out, and the next time you
see the little station 1t has begun Its
career as a manufacturing town o.
some sort And for all this credit
should go to the few pots of paint
which coated station masters home.
Such has been the beginning of many

as the company judiciously uses tho
