ALLIGATOR REcAPTURED.

Now Domiciled ill Front Window
 Alderman Weiss Pet Recovered.
 Alderman Weiss alligator, which was captured in Florida by Steward Doug lass Butler, of the four-masted schoon- CT Stanley H. Minor. now unloading at this port, and presented to MT. Weiss, and who escaped Sunday from the crew of the boat. was recaptured yesterday under one of the docks where he had crawled for a breathing spell. The cold weather and water for the past few days had nearly benumbed it, and it was in a stupid condition when found. The alligator is now domiciled in the front window of the alderman's store, corner of Franklin and Chapel streets. Very few people ever thought he would be recaptured, but the steward of the boat has never lost confidence but that he would soon restore the visitor to the alderman, who was much delighted to receive his pet.
 The whole thing makes very attrac- tive window display with the beautiful Woodbridge moss, tank, etc. @ ...-s,

HUMAN SKELETON IN AN OLD
 MEXICAN MINE.


 Exhibited States Senator John F. Jones of Nevada told an interesting story of the unearthing in an old work ing of the Asuncion mine, near Monter- rey, Mexico, of score or more of skele- tons, evidently the remains of mine disaster that occurred probably not less than 25O years ago. The report of the discovery was made while former Senator Jones was at Monterey several weeks ago.
 ''The skeletons were discovered while following what appeared to be rich vein of ore," said the veteran statesman and miner from Nevada 1.-The value of the veins ore proved to be all that was expected, and the finding of the remains l of the dead men also developed the fact that the man who made the discovery | was not the original discoveror Of the vein, for the location of the skeletons in dieated that they, too, were following ! the same ore body when their lives were AA AuShCu OIl py ttlt Lolili5 ApSh.
 'The attention of the superintendent of the mine was attracted to the spot where the men died by bits of ore scat tered at the base of a shoulder in the side of the mountain. The wall behind the spot is almost perpendicular, and | the vein of ore they were following leads into the mountain just above the spot is direction almost parallel to the face of the wall It was evident that the bits of ore were not in part of the \ natural deposit s .........s.. ..1.- Curiosity caused the superintendent to make a thorough examination. Broken rock, mixed with bits of ore, seemed to indicate that slip had oc- cured at some time. Fragments of rock that were lying beneath a portion of the debris were removed and bones were seen protruding from the mass. It was then discovered that an area of about ten square metres was discovered with great slabs of rocks They were blasted away and the work of exhumation was begun. Almost every piece removed disclosed the bones of the men on whom it had fallen. In not a few cases the skeletons were found intact. In no cases were the bones of the skeletons found scattered except as they were thrown away by the blast. Bone by bone they were heaped in the pile they now form at one side of the spot where they have rested for centuries.
 | Not particle of clothing and no tools were found in the bones, but the tindiscriminate manner in which the skeletons were lying, and fact that I their covering weighed more than it would. have been possible to have. been placed over them leaves little room for l doubt that they were the victims of | an accident.
 l Among the bones and under them were large quantities of dried leaves of the maguey plant. But the real bed of the dead was pile of ashes no less l than foot deep, Why the maguey l leaves were there is q matter of conjec- I ture. but the ashes may be accounted for by the fact that in the olden days the method of extracting ore consisted largely in roasting. A fire was built beneath the mixture of rock and ore, l The limestone was in that manner con- l verted into line. from which ore could be nried loose with sticks or any other \ Star. +#&@ @ssH%sE-+@s-a <

State Has Failed to- Comply With its
 Part of New Law. @.,
 When the legislature passed the law regarding the uniform registry of the sale of poisons by pharmacists there was no appropriation made to furnish to the druggists registry books such as the law directs.
 The provisions of the law require the druggist to register each sale and pre- scribe the exact data to be collected. This law became operative August 1, but the druggists generally are not In a position to carry out the laws provis- ions because of the lack of any registry book that fulfills the requirements of the law. ss~
 The health board has asked for the opinion of the attorney-general in the matter, and is awaiting his reply.

THEIR
GOLDEN WEDDING
Canton Couple Weicoms Chit
dren In Celebration Of Fifty
Years Of Married
Life.

Last Sunday was day OF great re-
joioing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
i. G. Stormfeltz, of Canton, when their
children and grand children gathered
to celebrate the aged couples fiftieth
wedding anniversary. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stormfeltz are two of the oldest resi-
dents in the community, having lived
in this vicinity ever since they came
to Ohio in 1865. Mrs. Stormfeltz, who
was Miss Susan Brown, was born in
Lancaster county, Pa, Jan. 25. 1924,
and Mr. Stormfeltz was born in the
same county in 1927. He is veteran
of the Civil war.
Four children were born to them,
two boys and two girls; the eldest son.
Jacob E. Stormfeltz, resides in the west
and consequently he could not be pres
ent at the celebration. The children
present were: Mrs. r. B. Shollenber-
ger, of Middlebranch, Mr.. J. w. Storm
feltz, Of New Berlin, o., and Mrs. L.
w. Mishler, of Cleveland, O.; the
grandchildren are the Misses Maj
Grace, Blanche and Eva Stormfeltz, of
New Berlin, o., and Miss Helen and
Master Warren Misbler, of Cleveland
Mr.. and Mrs. Stormfeltz were the re-
cipients Of many useful gifts as token
of the love and esteem in which they
are held by their children.

The Thrifty Doctors.

Doctors are complaining Of dull bus
inoss and attribute the cause thereof
to the steady and continuous cold
weather. 1t has been recently claimed
that cold ozone has a wonderful cura-
tive effect on consumption and other
pulmonary troubles, a fact that has
long been observed by laymen.
A walk in the cold crisp air on a
winters morning produces a tonic
effect on the system that all the medi-
cine in the world cannot equal. But
the majority of moderns fear the cold
and only go out in winter time when
they are compelled to and the long
steady cold weather has compelled
everybody to spend more time than
usual in the healthy practice OF
breathing cold ozone. The doctors,
however, will make up for lost time
when the season of spring fever, grip
and rheumatism arrives. Youngs-

BAD TANCLE
Wife Of Twenty One Years and the
Mother Of Six Child
Wants HER MARRIAGE ANNULLED.
rem

The spectacle of woman who had
been married for II years and who is
the mother of six children, asking to
have the marriage contract annulled
upon the ground that when she mar
ried her husband he had another wife
living, was witnessed in court room No.
2 Thursday.
The story is strange one. John OFT
was a native of Germany. He came
to this country and he and his first
wife had some trouble and separated.
That was thirty years ago. After they
had lived apart for three years they
thought that they were entitled to get
married again without any divorce
Both married and for IS years John
and his second wife lived together,
rearing family of six children. In
1897, Mary OFT, the second wife, claims
she discovered that Johns first wife
had not been divorced. She immediate
ly separated from John and later ap-
piled for alimony.
AS a defense John insisted that Mary
knew the conditions when she married
him. A divorce case was tnen begun,
but rs there had been no legal mar
riage there could be no divorce. This
action was tried in Portage county,
whore the parties lived.
Mrs. OFT then moved to Canton and
began an action to have the marriage
contract annulled, but with strange
persistence, John OFT has fought all
these cases. The second. suit failed
for some reason, the husband appear
ing with a lot of witnesses to testify
against his wife's character. Another
action has been brought to legally
clear her from the illegal marriage
ana again the husband is on the ground
fighting 1t, although there is no proper
ty involved and the parties have not
lived together for seven years.
When wife number one heard that
Mrs. OFT No. had sued for divorce,
it first dawned upon her that she had
made mistake. She then sued OFT for
divorce and remarked her second hus-
band.
