M|LL|NERSARE
NOT WORRIED
Canton Dealers in Feminine Headgear
Do Not Take Crusade
Seriously.
Still selling PROHIBITED BIRDS.

Canton merchants engaged in the
millinery trade do not seem to be at
all worried over the recent revival
of the crusade now being conducted
by the state game warden.
Several OF the local stores have on
hand supplies of the prohibited birds
and their sale goes merrily on where
ever an opportunity offers. AS a rule,
the law is considered as being rather
a good joke than proposition to be
seriously considered as affecting their
business.
The Millinery Merchants Protective
association recently sent out circulars
to the local milliners informing them
that the law merely referred to gulls,
sea-pigeons, herons, terms and grebes
and was exclusive of all foreign birds
as the crow, hawk, English sparrow,
crane, raven, common blackbird and
kingfisher. The circular letter also ad-
vises the merchants to communicate

of the local milliners is made up Of

salers were Of an inferior quality and
were bought sparingly. However some
of the local dealers have small sup
ply on hand.
The dealers have not as yet been ap-
preached by the game wardens in the
matter but they probably will be in
the course Of few days as the war
is being vigorously waged in other
cities Of the state. They declare them
selves willing to abide by the deci-
sions of the courts in the matter and
are awaiting with interest the results
Of the arrests made in other cites.

HIS ERRING WIFE
Woman Preferred Other Men
to Her Husba nd and JUDGE
Hole Granted Divorce.

Lisbon, Jan. 22.-Judge Hole yester-
day granted to George w. Matthews,
of Fast Palestine, divorce from Anna
L. Matthews. They were married
May 25, 1894, at Darlington, Fa., and
have one daughter, Cora, now about
two years old. After they had lived
together three years, the husband al
legged, the wife became enamored of
one John Dugan, which resulted in the
separation of Mr.. and Mrs. Matthews,
the wife taking up her abode with the
correspondent, who was afterward con-
victed Of trying to procure criminal
operation on her.
In November, 1899, Matthews and
his wife we're reconciled and again
lived together until June, 1901, when
Mrs. Matthews left her home and went
to Salem to live with one James
Heaton. with whom she is said to be
still unlawfully cohabiting and gave
birth to child September 5, 1902, not
withstanding the fact that her lawful
husband had not lived with her since
June, 1901.

JURY RETURNED
NO INDICTMENTS
Against s andusky Coal Dealers
Prosecutor Likely to
Beqin Civil Action.

Sandusky. o.. Jan. 22.-The grand
jury which reported Wednesday failed
to find any indictments against the
coal dealers of this city, but did find
that an organization existed in the cit
which was formed for the purpose of
fixing the price Of coal and sitting
competition.
The jury recommended that the pros
ecntor commence civil action against
the dealers. The jury alleges that
year ago this time an organization
existed known as 1.-THE Sandusky Coal
Exchange" but that that organization
was notified that its business was H.
legal. Notwithstanding this fact the
organization continued to exist. 1t is
now believed by the jury that the name
Of the organization is "The Sanduslsy
Cash Club" of which the ostensible
purpose is to obtain cash prices for
the coal.

Akron, O., Jan. 22.-Judge c. r.
Grant, representing creditors, and
Harvey Musser, representing ioi mer
stockholders of the Peoples Eard
Rubber company, declare they will
take steps to oust the American Hard
Rubber company from doing business
in Ohio, under the Valentine anti
trust law.
They have filed exceptions to the
appraisal returned to probate court af-
ter the assignment of the Peoples
Hard Rubber company following the
sale of a majority of the stock to the
American Hard Rubber company, the
trust, and represent tnac the as
signment was not a valid one. They
say the appraisal made at the time the
stock was sold showed assets of $780,
600 and that made two weeks later,
the factory being idle and nothing be-
ing removed, meanwhile, shows assets
100000 less than this. Steps may be
taken to have the assignment set
aside.

FOR USE IN

Wheeling & Lake Erie Has Adopted

TELEPHONE FROM Train ENR0U1E.

The Wheeling G. Lake Erie has re-
Gently equipped number Of its
freight cabooses with the new tele-
graphophone system, which has been
in use at several stations of the road
for the past two monhs.
BY means of this instrument, the
conductor of freight train may Sc
cure telephonic connection with four
of the offices OF the road In few min
utes. Cleveland, Canton, Kent and
Navarro are equipped with the instru-
ments and should any wreck or any
other accident happen to freight,
the conductor could secure a line of
communication with any of these Of
fees by merely throwing an extension
rod UP to the telegraph wires. The
rod has much the appearance OF a
iointed fishpole and requires very lit
tie time to adjust
The telephoniug over the telegraph
wires does not interefer with their
use for telegraphing as both opera
tions can be carried on at the same
time. The inventor of the system is
now at work on the scheme, trying to
render it still nearer perfection as
there are several small inconvenience
which prohibit it's taking the place OF
the telegraph except in cases of emer-
gency.
A short time ago the Wabash rail-
road requested that the Wheeling
give them the benefit OF their expert
ment in the matter and will likely de-
velop in the course Of time that all
of the Gould railroads will adopt the
device as well as many others. The
Wheeling was the first to adopt it and
has found that, while still in it's crude
stages, the device is very good and
valuable one to railroads and when
perfected, will no doubt entirely sup
plant its time-honored rival, the tele-
graph.

ROOSEVELT HAS
MADE NO DECISION
On the Judeeship Question
Host Of Lawyers are Anx-
icus to Succeed
judge Day.

Washington, Jan. 22.-All the law
yers in Ohio apparently have come TO
the conclusion that they would like to
sit on the federal bench They have
also apparently come TO the opinion
that the president will place Circuit
Judge Day upon the supreme bench
and promote District Judge A. G.
Thompson to the vacancy caused by
the promotion of the former secretary.
At least so of them have filed for
NAL applications with Senator For
aker asking for Judge Thompson's
place. He has also been told by word
of mouth about the aspirations of at
least twice that number. The senator
called at the white house Wednesday
and asked the president about Justice
Shiras's successor. The president said
that he had come to no decision in
the matter and probably would not for
some time.
Among the jurists who would like
to succeed Judge Day on the circuit
bench are Judge U. S. Marvin, of Ak
ron, at present on the state circuit
| bench; Attorney General Sheets, of
Ottawa and former Judge w. b. San
ders, of Cleveland.
