Crime 20 Years Imprisonment.

The Hon. T. c. Snyder, Of Canton,
was the author of the law making the
penalty for vitriol throwing 20 years
in the penitentiary. He was a mem-
ber of the senate in the sixty-eighth
general assembly in 1888 and 1SS9 At
tention was called to the matter by a
number of aggravated cases of yitriol
throwing at about that time by which
persons were manned for life. Peo-

OF THEATRE.
Que&tIon to be Decided
by Courts-M. G. Bar
ber Sued.

Suit has been brought in common
pleas court by Thurlow w. Albaugh
to compel NJ. G. Barber to sell his
block Of stock in the Citizens Opera
House Co., which owns the Grand OPP
era house In Canton. Albaugh is at
present conducting the Park theatre
at Meyers lake.
In the petition filed in the case, 1t is
claimed that Barber owns 1876 shares,
the face value of which is 800 per
share. 1t is claimed that Barber en-
tered into written contract with W.
j.. Alexander by which he agreed to
sell 70 him, his heirs or assigns, the
LIS shares at 500 share on or be-
fore May 1, 1908.
On December 20, 1902, Alexander
transferred his rights under this agree
nent to Thurlow X. Albaugh and
when Mr.. Barber was notified of the
transfer he notified the plaintiff that
he regarded said option as terminated
and refused to comply with the agree
ment, calling all negotiations off.
On May !. 1903, the plaintiff tender
cd Barber the full amount of the pur-
chase Irtc of the sock and was
then ready and willing and is now
ready and willing to carry out the
terms of the agreement. The plain
tiff says that the transfer Of said
stock would have given him a con-
trolling interest in the stock of the
Grand opera house.
The court has been asked to grant
an injunction to prevent Barber from
transferring his stock to others and
upon final hearing that he be COM
pcllcd to sell his stock to the plain-
tiff in accordance with the terms of
the agreement. Akron attorneys rep
resent the plaintiff.
Marshall G. Barber, the defendant
In the case, was seen with reference
to the suit He seemed inclined to
take the matter lightly and insists that
there is no ground for the action, as
very material part of the contract
was violated, he says. by the plaintiff.
1t was required that a very consider
able forfeiture should be placed to
hold the option, which was not done.
thus abrogating the entire agree
ment
The suit involves all the stockhold-
ers Of the company, including Judge
William r. Day, Mrs. Mckinley and
other prominent Cantonians.
The suit was the outgrowth of an
effort to buy out the Canton opera
house in order to make 1t part of q
circuit controlled by company. It
was at one time reported that the sale
had been made, and some of the de-
tails were published, but the suit
shows how the negotiations were
called Off

A Bitter Experience.

Editor LEADER. | have read with
some interest the experience of some
of our citizens in raising honey. l am
somewhat reluctant to submit my own
experience, as it is not so fiattering to
the bee industry as the experience of
those who have preceded me- Hearing
great. deal about The exceeding fine
flavor OF the coast honey and the huge
profits derived from its manufacture, I
concluded to enjoy the luxury OF its
sweetness and portion of the wealth
derived from its production. / took
charge OF seven colonies in what was
reported to be a good location. in
vested in modern tlrst-class supplies
and patiently waited for the result.
The bees appeared to be healthy and
industrious and the supers began to
I'LL. In course of time the larger por-
tion of the supers were full and pro-
ceeded to harvest the crop. The
amount of honey was satisfactory, and
it looked rich and inviting. For sup
per that evening my wife and l sat
down toa feast of warm biscuit and
honey. Faith in coast honey carried
me through about two mouthfuls; and
the anticipated sweetness gave way to
bitterness that seemed to be blend
ing OF wormwood, tansy, lobelia aud
the whole list. In fact, we could
not eat it. / talked with bee experts
about the probable cause of this patent
medicine taste, and they appeared to be
undecided as to whether this honey
was made out of wild cherry or chittim.
l persuaded DR.. Carter to take por-
tion of it down to his drugstore at
Yaquina, hoping that it might find Il
commercial value as a medicine. Iu
conversation with my neighbors who
keep bees, l learned that their honey
had similar taste, but they were
keeping quiet about it,
don't think / shall need to rails
any more honey for some time. We
can't eat it we can't sell it without Vi
olating the pure food law, and we don t
care to impose upon our friends by
giving it away. A. B. CLARK.

Passed Away.

Albert Ferr, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Ferr, was born April 4, 1872,
and died December 26, 1909. The
funeral service, conducted by Rev. G.
M. Brown of Toledo, was held at the
ferr home Saturday, December 81. fol-
lowed by interment in the Newport
cemetery.
The cause of Albert's death was con-
sumption. About two years ago, while
fishing in the Columbia with compan-
ion, his boat was overturned and he
was in the water six hours before being
rescued. To this exposure is attribu-
ted the fatal disease.
The young man had many warm
friends on the bay whose sympathy
is extended to the bereaved.
