Carrollton, Aug. 6. - After a most
vigorous campaign between the vets
and the drys, this village voted to
close up all the saloons by vote of
179 to 1853. This was surprise to al
most every one, as 1t was thought
that the vets would win out. For two
weeks preceding the election temper
ance meetings were held almost daily,
the anti-saloon league sending repre-
sentatives here to assist in the fight.
This will close up four saloons.

Come From Massiiion.

Inquiry has been received at the To-
cal Offices of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie road in regard to the identity Of
an unknown man who was found dead

ing cut of cars. The dead man ap-
pears to be about 32 years of age and

HER HUSBAND
is IN THE PEN
And Mrs. William Henderson Wants a
DiYorce--Petitirn is
Filed.

The wife of the notorious William
Henderson. who is in the penitentiary
for the John Hartong murder at
Greentown, has sued him for divorce.
According to the petition, they were
married in 1892 and had four children,
three Of whom are living, aged s, Z and
8 years respectively
The ground upon which divorce is
asked is that the husband is confin-
ed in the penitentiary. The fact is
set forth that in June. 1898, Hender-
son was sent to the penitentiary for
burglary and larceny for term of s
years and that in March 1900. he was
found guilty of murcer in the second
degree and sent up for life.
The petition asks for divorce, res
toration to her maiden name of Emma
Henry and the custody of the children.
Mrs. Henderson asserts that she has
been faithful wife to the defendant
all these years. She is represented by
Attorney Joseph M. Blake.
Henderson was the leader of one
of the most notorious gangs of burg
lars that ever infested Canton. A half
dozen of the members are doing time
for one crime or another, Henderson
having been sent up for completely in
the Hartong murder. Evidence was
collected against him while he was In
the penitentiary for burglary, and he
was brought back and tried. Stories
have been circulated from time to time
that he would peach" upon his pals
but this he has persistently refused to

President Roosevelt is sometimes
criticised for his extravaganza.
That alleged extravaganza takes
the form of treating his friends
with open handed hospitality and

his nj large income in excess of
his salary. But, if he is wiling to
|,lo this why should the public COM

Mr.. Roosevelt's nature and, after
all, the United States, the wealth
lest nation in the world, pays its

Iient $4,000 and furnishes a pal
hce at that. Mr.. Roosevelt has to
lefray out of his own pocket many

fry is much richer and more pros

The famous Frenchman who on
visiting this country discovered
that the most distinctive character
istic of the American people was
their patience, because they endur-
ed things that no other people
would endure-cold cars, no cars at
all, insulting conductors, etc.-did
not select good word to describe
their fault; he should have used at
leart such word as ''inerta" to ex-
press his meaning; we who are in
it and of it and doubtless partially
responsible for it call it moral and
intellectual Incidence, and in some
of its manifestations it is pure self
ishness. Look at the supine in
difference of the American people
concerning the question of the
public lands, now threatened by
complete extinction through the
criminal proceedings of designing
men, but whose acts are made pos
sible through laws conceived in in
iquitous greed and which are
stretched to cover innumerable
crimes against the people. The
President in his message has called
for the repeal of the Desert Land
act, the Communication clause of the
Homestead Land act and the Tim
Der and Stone act; but SO far as we
are aware there is no concerted ef-
fort on the part of the people to Sc
cure their repeal at this session of
Congress, although every week the
public domain is being decreased
through fraud and corruption un-
der these laws, and the men and
women of the country, and the CON-
ing generations as well, are being
defrauded of their rights to a home
on the public domain. Not an
honest citizen but is directly inter-
ested in this matter. Not one but
should do his part toward the con-
summation of this simple act of
justice to all the people. Then let
every reader of this paper write at
once postal card to his senator
and representative at Washington
and demand their immediate at
tention to this most vital question.
If this be country by and of and
for the people, let the people act;
they must not find fault with the
outcome if they neglect their own
part of the affair-Farmer's Voice.

Wood and water, or in other

WOOD ana water, or In Otner
words, the forests and streams, are
to-day among the most important
of the country's possessions. In
the West they are indispensable to
the forests for lumber and for the
protection of the water supply, and
and the streams for the reclamation
of thousands of acres of barren and
almost useless land. through irriga-
ton. It has been estimated that
there are 100000 acres of So
called arid lands west of the Mis-
souri, river which with the water
now avsilable can be made richly
productive and the seat of large
populations. Thus in the West
the streams even more than the for
ests must be considered of prime
importance as home-makers. In
the East and West alike, and over
all the country; the streams are ris-
ing yearly in Importance for water
power, and as towns and cities in
crease, for domestic supply as well.
But with the streams the forests
must always stand as protectors.
The preservation of the forests on
the mountains and foothills means
the perpetuation of the water sup
ply, and the security of the water
supply means incslculable develo-
pment and benefit fO1 sll sections
of the country. The results of tne
investigations of the U. s. Geolog
ical Survey, in its study of the
water resources of the country,
have repeatedly demonstrated the
increasing value of the streams.
The forests and the water resources
are 80 closely allied that they must
always stand side by side in the,
development of the country-Max-
wells Talisman.

The Honest Pomoter.


of the prospector and discoverer
comes the "honest promoter" as a
matter of necessity. The greater
the possible benefits of discovery
the more urgent the necessity of
proper promotion and enlistment
of sufficient capital for the develop
ment of the proposition whether it
be in the line of wireless telegraphy
or system of aerial navigation or
even the opening up Of great
mining discovery, all of which GER
tainly require large amounts of
money to build stations, equip
plants and construct the necessary
machinery for thee arrying forward
and development of the plans of
inventor or the discoverer to the
fullest success. There is mis-
taken idea in the public mind re-
specting the position the true pro-
moter holds with regard to the pros
pector or discoverer of gold mine
or some new process or invents q
machine, almost invaribly his work
ends with the discovery. He has
neither money nor the capacity to
enlist the same to develope his
mine or idea and he is compelled
to seek out some person able and
to promote the enterprise who pro-
ceeds to organize q company, put
up the necessary means to develope
the proposition. The promoter is
not supposed to exaggerate the pos
sibilities of the undertaking and it
is customary for the capitalist to
examine into the merits of pro-
posed investment before his money
is paid in. When the examination
is finished and the money paid up
as per contract it is evident that
the statements made by the pro-
moter have been verified by the ex-
perts otherwise the proposition
would have been turned down.
All parties interested are presumed
to have been benefited in the con-
sumation of the deal, the prospect
or has got his price and starts on
the hunt for something else, the
buyer also proceeds to the develop
ment of the property with the as
surance of his expert that he may
expect returns of more than a hun
dred fold above the investment, the
promoter has received his commits
sion and should be held blameless
as to whether the seller has parted
with a prospect which has made
millions for the buyer or vice versa,
the buyer spends thousands-with
no returns therefor. An honest
mining promoter will be guided
entirely by his personal judgment
and opinion of the property offered
him and if he does not deem it
worthy of his attention should re-
ject the same if he deems his re-
putation of value. 1t is entirely
unnecessary to commit himself to
any "fake or visionary schemes"
while there are purely legitimate
and worthy enterprises being offer
ed for honest promotion. The
field is equally as large and the op-
portunities as great as heretofore
for the would-be advocate and pro-
mulgator of the many great discov-
cries still being made in Science
Art and in the wealth of the Min
eral Kingdom. The hidden treas
urers of the Earth the mysteries
the sea and air are becoming more
and more responsive to the scientific
research of the present age and
generation.
