THE RIOT ACT
Tells Senator'S He viii Not Accept
Wishy-washy Trust
Bill.
HAS made NO PLEDGES, He SAYS.

Washington, Jan. 21.--President
Roosevelt Tuesday read the riot act to
the Republican leaders of the senate.
He told them fatty that he will not
accept milk and water antitrust
measure. He said he will be satisfied
with no bill that does not curb the
trusts and means exactly what It pur-
ports to be.
He sent for Senators Aldrich and
Spooner, the recognized party leaders
in the senate, and told these senators
that the newspapers were filled with
statements that a mild and meaning
less antitrust bill was to be prepared
and passed to keep him quiet and pre-
vent an extra session of congress. The
president said he had seen in the iinan-
cial journals numerous accounts Of a
great company now being formed to
take over all the anthracite coal prop.
critics. He construed this as slap at
him in Wow of his efforts to settle the
strike.
After explaining that the situation
regarding corporations and monopolies
was daily becoming more aggravated
rather than improved, the president
said that nothing short of decisive ac-
tion would be acceptable to him and
that he would consider nothing but
the bills prepared by Attorney Gen
eral Knox under his direction as ad-
eGuate to meet the requirements.
I In answering the presidents argu-
ments Senator Aldrich said that the
Republican National convention had
made certain pledges and that 1t was
incumbent upon the president TO carry
ont all the party promises.
This brought out the most vehement
statement OF the morning. The pres
ident declared that at the Philadel-
phia convention he was given second
place on the ticket against his earnest
protest. He was compelled to take
something he did not want. The con-
vcntion was in such hot haste to nom
mate him that he was not required
to make any pledges. The president
said he was not pledged to any man
living for any purpose whatever and
consequently he was perfectly free to
net for the best interests and welfare
Of the entire people,

MATTRESSES TO
FORM A UNION
Latest Move OF Labor Org aniz-
ers In Pittsburg--Have
40 Recruits.

Pittsburg, Jan. 21.-A mattresses
union Is the latest proposition OF the
labor organizers in Pittsburg. 1t is
proposed within a few days to form
an organization composed entirely Of
the girls who attend to the wants Of
the hungry in the hotels and restau-
rants. Already over 40 of the girls
have consented to join, and meeting
will be arranged within a few days.
Several years ago, during a strike
Of Mattresses in Cleveland, a delega-
tion Of the girls came to Pittsburg
and tried to organize a Pittsburg To-
cal. They succeeded in getting half
a dozen young women here interest
ed, but the scheme fell through when
the Cleveland union was defeated in
its strike through the interference OF
the courts. Other fruitless attempts
have been made, but now the girls are
assisted by the organizers of the
American Federation of Labor.
The new union when formed will be
attached to the International Union Of
Hotel and Restaurant Employees, but
will be separate from the local here
composed Of men walters.

IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Al
armine Increase in an Already
Prevailing Disc ase - Are
Any Exsmpt?

At no time in the history of disease
has there been such an alarming in
crease in the number of cases of any
particular malady as that in kidney
and bladder troubles now preying up
on the people of this country.
Today we see a relative, friend or
an acquaintance apparently well, and
in a few days we may be greived to
learn of their serious illness or sud
den death, caused by that fatal type
of kidney trouble-Bright's disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes ad-
vanced into acute stages before tbs
afflicted is aware of its presence; that
is why we read of so many sudden
deaths of prominent business and pro-
fessional men, physicians and others.
They have neglected to stop the leak
in time.
While scientists are puzzling their
brains to lind out the cause. each in
dividual can, by a little precaution,
avoid the chances Of contracting
dreaded and dangerous kidney trouble,
or eradicate it completely from their
system If already afflicted. Many prec-
ious lives might have been, and many
more can yet be saved, by paying at
tention to the kidneys.
1t is the mission of the STARK Co.
Democrat" to benefit its readers at
every opportunity and therefore we
advise all who have any symptoms of
kidney or bladder trouble to write to-
day to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. ", for free sample bottle of

and remarkable success In the cure OF

PROPOSES TO
MAKE A TEST
J. c. BmnheImer VIII Investigate the
Truth Of The Grounding
Tradition.
A NOVEL entertainment PREPARED

The question as to whether or not
ground hog comes out of his winter
quarters on the second day of Febru-
ary to prognosticate the weather is to
be settled forever and aye on Candle
mass day in Canton.
Commissioner James c. Burn-
heimer has in his cellar at his home
at 40S West South street pet ground
in Tuscarawas county early last spring
and brought home in a cigar box The
infant marmot was turned over to Mr..
Burnheimer's son who raised it until
it was full grown. The animal became
very tame and would romp and play
with the boy like dog. II never at
tempted to bite and was given the frec-
dom of the house and yard al times.
Mr.. Burnheimer says that all his life
he has heard of the habits of the ami
NAL on the second of February and he
proposes to have watch day seance
to settle the fact. He proposes to have
several reporters present and also a
few congenial souls who are interested
in meteorological phenomena, zoology
and vinous products on that occasion
to take notes and determine number
Of questions.
The ground hog has a den or hole
in the cellar. In the same cellar, but
in separate apartment, are "a gallons
of grape wine two years old. Several
leaves of an ancient almanac were car
ried into the den by the ground hog,
from which data can be secured as to
the ancient legend.
The watch day exercises are 10 be-
gin with sun rise and end with sun
set, which covers the period when the
charm is supposed to work. The old
legend is that the ground hog comes
out of his hole upon that day and if
he sees his shadow-that Is, If the sun
shines, he will go back into his bur-
row and settle himself down for
six weeks rap, well knowing that VIM
ter will last that long. If, on the 9TH
er hand, the day is cloudy and the sun
docs not break through the fosgy veil.
his hogship will remain cut and call
mis- days Of fasting off. as he knows in
his very bones that the weather will
be mild and before many days vege-
tation will sprout up and he can par.
take of the Succulent herbs 10 fill his
empty stomach.
This particular ground hog has all
the instincts of mis- race. Early last
fall when the frost got into the air,
he began to get uneasy and was hunt
ing place to sleep. He would carry
old newspapers under the furniture in
the house and try to fix up permanent;
quarters. The younger Burnheimer
took him into the cellar and aided in
fixing mp a burrow, into which the an
imal went last October. From that time
on up until Christmas 1t had not been
seen. The boy became uneasy ami
thought the ground hog was dead. ilf
placed food and water at the hole and
they were not touched. He wanted to
find out so he dug down into the den
where the animal was and found him
sound asleep, poor and as rigid as
though dead.
The animal was thawed out anl vak-
ened up, sat up and ate The kernals Of
a couple of nuts and then crawled back
into his nest to finish his interrupted
trance. From that day to this he has
not stirred. What will occur on the
second remains to be seen.
