There was practically nothing doing

have had orders for cattle recently that
they could not fn here and they went to

claim that the sellers here will not sell

and this compels the buyers to fill their
orders in Kansas City for eastern ship

PLANNING TO
RAISE FUNDS
For the New Surgery to be Bull
at the Aultman Hos
pital.
NEARLY $4,000 Will Be REQUIRED.
NEARLY $4,000 Will Be REQUIRED,

At a meeting of the physicians and
surgeons on the staff of the Aultman
hospital in the city hall Friday night,
the question of how to raise funds to
build a modern surgery in connection
with the hospital and to discharge the
debt of that institution was decided.
A resolution was introduced and car
ried that each physician be considered
a committee Of one to solicit his pat
rons for subscriptions. The money
raised in this way will be applied to
the building of the surgery and the
payment of the debt.
1t is estimated that the cost of a
modern surgery with the latest and
best appliances would be between $5,-
900 and $4,000. The hospitals pres
ent operating and surgical room Is far
too small and the appliances too an
tiquated for successful surgery under
present conditions.
1t Is planned to commence the build
ing of the addition early in the spring.
should no hitch be met with.
At present the debt of the Aultman
hospital is about $4,000 and to sue
cessfully carry out the plans of the
staff would require about $4,000. No
serious difficulty is anticipated in do
ing this.

A coal company, controlled by the
manufacturers of Canton, with the au-
thority to buy and sell coke, acquire,
coal lands, work mines, make coke,
construct and operate railroads, is a
probability of the immediate future,
since the meeting Of the Canton Man
ufacturers' association in the city hall
Friday evening. The meeting was
called to discuss the coal question and
at its opening a resolution introduced
by II. A. Cavnah, president, and pro-
viding that a cmpany be organized by
the manufacturers of Canton and VI
cinity to avoid another disastrous
winter from shortage of fuel, was
adopted. The resolution was as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That this association
recommend that the manufacturers of
Canton and vicinity organize coal
company, Joint stock company, char
tered by the laws of some state with
an autorized capital sufficient for the
purpose with authority to buy and sell
coal and coke, acquire coal lands,
work mines, make coke. construct and
operate railroads and other lines de-
sirable for the purpose"
After the introduction of this reso-
luton Mr.. Cavnah made few re-
marks in its support. He said If the
manufacturers pooled their interests,
acquired coal lands in this vicinity
and worked these mines in the inter
est of the factories, the danger of an
other shortage in coal would be elm
mated. IF necessary" said he, 'let
us build our own railroads from our
lands to move the product of our
mines.
Coke is selling now at unreason-
able, outrageous prices and everybody
interested in securing coal and coke
in Canton could be stockholders in this
company. The idea is to make it a
Home Coal and Coke company BY
this means we could insure a supply
for future years. Cleveland people

governed went into effect, the county
treasurer has taken care of the city
funds.
