Local FACTORIES LOST THOUSANDS

A number of property owners in
eastern Canton are threatening to be-
gin damage suits against the Penusyl-
vania railway company If the damages
caused by the recent flood are not set
tied satisfactorily. 1t is claimed that
the railway company is directly re.
sponsible for the backing up Of the
waters and the flooding of the shops
and dwellings. The amount of damage
done, it is claimed. in the aggregate
amounts to many thousand dollars. the
United Steel company alone losing
$500 worth of cement which was up
on the ground ready to be used In
the building. The Carnahan stamping
works was also heavy loser.

main railway bridge over the East
creek, it is said, was obstructed by two
temporary piers. whichswere being used
to widen the bridge for the extra track
which ise being laid. This SO reduced
the capacity Of the channel that the
water could not get through.
At the second bridge or culyert in
the track ibsthe VALLEY the conditions
we're even worse for the passage of the
water. There Is an opening Under the

LEGAL OPINIONS.
In order to ascertain the legal side
of the case. a number of attorneys
we're asked as to their opinions as to
the liability of the Pennsylvania COM
pany. Attorney A.. M. McCarty stated
that there was not any doubt that
the company would be liable for all
damage If the case was as claimed by
the people who have been loeers. Any
obstruction: to a stream is illegal, he
said
Judge j. w. AlbaUgh, of the firm Of
Welty G. Albaugh, said that if the
natural drainage had been in any way
interfered with or the water diverted
from its natural course, the party OF
company responsible for the change
would be held accountable for all dam
ages done. He was not conversant
with the exact situation. however,
Attorney James A. Rice expressed
the same opinion. Continuing he said:
"The fact that the company by reason
of former floods has had notice ol
the fact that It has been obstructine
the valley and causing the water tc
back up. and this would make the mat.
ter proving its liability much simpler
There is no doubt. but that the COM
pany could be held for damages"

"DON'TS" FOR TEACHERS.

DR.. Arnold Tompkins. head of the
Chicago Normal school, in an address
before the Cook county teachers in
stitute recently. gave expression to a
number Of 'don'ts" for the edifCatiOn
of his hearers. The following is a
partial list Of them. which may be
found of interest to those who are
placed in charge OF four boys and
girls;
Don't lie awake nights because one
child is bad. That is not n sign your
teaching is a failure.
Don't stop a child from whispering
by strenuous means. Appeal to the
pupil in a quiet way.
Don't throw a ruler al the child's
head to divert him from some mis-
chievous act. The commotion dis
turbs the unity of the whole more
than the child's misdeed.
Don't use the Ounce cap. 1t makes
the pupil feel foolish. You should
endeavOr to make him feel manly.
Don't attempt to correct a child's
actions by means from without wher
means from within are much more
| effective.

The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. " Nv bone
