THE QUALITY GOOD
Straw erries Are Plentiful and
Chea per In Price.-Sugar
Rates Have Not
Advanced.

Canton merchants have marked but
ter up to 20 cents a pound for the
country product, this being an advance
Of cents over what it was selling for
last week. Some OF the dealers moved
the price up Saturday. This has been
made necessary in order to get enough
to supply the trade. Hucksters were
paying more to the farmers than the
merchants and the fellows With the
wagons got the goods. Sixteen cents
is what the dealers pay and 1t is
thought that this price will bring more
butter to town. The quality is unu-
sually good, the season being very IA
vorable for butter making.
Monday morning brought large
supply of strawberries into Canton, and
q splendid quality of home grown ones
are selling at ten cents a quart. This
will be heavy week on Strawberries
and the receipts will keep on increasing
for the next ten days.
There has been no advance In the
price of sugars. although the fruit sea-
son is near at hand. It is possible that
no increase will be made

TWO MEMBERS
Passed That Judicial
Resolution,

The circuit judicial convention will
be held at Mansfield June 18. So far
as known Judge r. T. McCarty, Of
Canton, is the only candidate for the
Republican nomination for circuit Judge
in the circuit. which is composed Of
fifteen counties. One reason for this Is
the fact that the circuit is normally
Democratic and the chances of election
are not alluring to many who are anx-
ious to sit upon the bench.
The fight in Stark county is still on
between G. G. Upham, the judicial
Committeeman, and Judge McCarty and
his friends. Upham has given out his
list Of delegates which he himself ap-
pointed without consulting McCarty.
The Judge has a full delegation select
ed, but has not as yet given them out
for publication.
His friends insist that at the meet
ing Of the judicial committee held at
Wooster on the first Of May, when the
resolution was passed authorizing the
committeeman to name the delegates in
each county, there we're but two OF
the fifteen committeeman there, five
others being present by proxy.
These two were Upham, of Stark
and Judge Frank Taggart, of Wooster
| The county primaries had been held
In Stark county before the meeting of
the committee and Judge McCarty was
voted for. A resolution by the county
committee authorized him to name his
own delegates. When Upham returned
from the meeting of the committee at
Wooster he informed Mr.. McCarty that
he himself would name the delegation
and insisted upon placing upon the list
a number OF persons who were not
friendly to the Stark county candi-
date.
The result of this is that two dele
cations will go to the convention. II
is said that large number of the ju-
dicial committeeman who were not al
the meeting have expressed themselves
as opposed to the resolution nnd they
say that they will recognize delega-
tions that are authorized by the county
committeeman or who were elected by
the people.
| In quite a number of other counties
primaries were held and delegates Sc
lected by the people. In others, they
were appointed by the county conven-
tion and in no instance, except in
Stark, have the judicial committeeman
appointed delegations.
Judge McCarty states that he has as.
surances from large. number that his
delegation Will be admitted to the con-
vention.

SHIP COMBINE
viii Be Discussed By
Parliament Soon
JOHN REOMuND
Will Not Refuse To Confer
With Irish Landlords

London, Sept. .23.--With the ap-
proach OF the reassembling OF Parlia-
mont, the shipping problem comes in
for much speculation. The announce
ment by the premier, A. J. Balfour,
OF the governments attitude toward
the Atlantic shipping combine, and
the proposed fast Canadian service is
awaited with interest, since the whole
question hinges on the direction
whether the government. will lend It's
support. Iu the meanwhile the Cana
dian Pacific railroad, which recently
seemed to control the situation re-
garding the new Canadian situation,
is being bitterly fought in the Allan

It is said that the Cunardrine is keep
ing out of all combinations in the hope
of an important increase in its sub
sidy when the Parliament:reassembles.
Whatever course the government
adopts IN fostering British shipping,
experts profess to expect a fierce At

work, and 1t is pointed ont that j.

TROUBLE imminent
Diplomatic Relations Between
Great Britain And Venezuela
Will Be Broken Off

London, Sept. 2s.-Ths diplomatic
relations between Great Britain and
Venezuela are 90 the verge OF being
severed. Any day, almost any hour
may bring the announcement that the
British minister at Caracas has been
given his passport with corresl onding
actions towards the Venezuelan repre-.
Sentatives in Londor.
The cause Of the crisis does not
seem to be confined to any particular
incident, but consists In various diff
erences which eliminated in Ven.
eZula assuming such an angry attitude
as to leave Downing street fully i'm
pressed with the belief that the Ven.
ezulan government intends to force
matters to crucial issue. That a
diplomatic rupture would result in
hostilities is contingency thus far
scarcely contemplated.
The present diplomatic relations are
SO strained that to quote a reSponS-
ible British official, sit would make
really very little difference if the fact
became public property by the abse zee
OF the diplomatic representa-
from Caracas and London. ="
