Creston, Nov. 17.-With the adyen,
of winter the farmers are now in po-
sition to know almost what the season
has produced in the WHY of crops and
than they thought they were going to
be. Nearly all the fall blowing has
been completed and corn husking is
now in full blast. The corn which was
thought to be almost a total failure is
turning out we'll, running from ten to
seventy five bushels to the acre. with
an average of about twentyeight, and
most of it is sound and in good shape.
There are few fields of grain yet to
be threshed. but oats have yielded on
an average of twenty-five bushels to
the acre. Apples are plentiful. and
about all that is short will be the po-
tato crop. Pastures are in excellen,
shape.

would do for me. Within one month
felt much better, and at the close OF the

ENGINEERS
Will Fight to Have the Ii

Important plans in connection with
the fight now being made to sustain
the validity of the state laws govern

were laid at meeting of the license

BLACK FRIDAY NOT A
GOOD DAY FOR
LICENSES
People Do Not Want to
Run Risks.
PROBATE HAPPENINGS

The reporter gazed over the mar
riage record in the probate office, in
disappointment. The day had passed
and not a solitary name graced its
pages. What could have happened?
Avision of catastrophe in Cupid's
realms floated before anxious eyes. In
,,le midst Of the reverie, came Judge
Aungst's voice in sepucheral tones.
"Knowest thou not that this is Friday,
the ill-fated, and those matrimonially
inclined look with awful horror upon
taking the first step towards the path
way Of double blessedness at such
doubtful time"
The fact is that in this enlightened
twentieth century people still cling to
the dark superstitution that Ill fortune
will follow any venture begun on Fri
day and as marriage is doubtful
quality at the best, they tread care
fully and take the extra precaution of
securing their permits from the powers
that be, upon day when evil spirits
do not rule. Occasionally some skep-
tical fellow breaks the tradition, but
when the thirteenth falls upon Friday
no one can be found brave enough to
defy the ruling powers. The page re-
mains a beautiful blank.
Many little comedies are acted out
in this Office that are amusing to the
close observer. Numbers of ardent
SWANS imagine that the presence Of
their ladies Is necessary to bind the
bargain properly, and they are accom-
panied by the prospective brides, rosy
and breathless. They always leave the
Office with satisfied smile upon their
faces. The other day an individual
sauntered in and inquired in noncho-
liant manner IL a license he had pro.
cured three years since did not still
retain the necessary qualities. 1t ap-
peared that he and the lady of his
heart fell out after the marriage H.
ceDse had been secured. He had al
ways kept it, however, feeling that
some day a reconciliation might be eff
fected and be might be saved the ex-
peDse Of procuring a new one. The
long looked for time had finally arriv-
ed and he gloried in the fact that his
saving had rot been in vain, but the
cup Of sweetness was dashed from his
lips and hopes that had risen to the
sky. were turned to bitter disappoint-
ment when he was informed that he
had retained the license just thirty i've
moons after 1t had become null and
void. He turned away with disgust
ed air muttering something about the
injustice of the courts and has not
been seen since.

THE FIRST RELIGIOUS
SERVICES IN
CANTON
Were Held in a Large
Bank Barn.
NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO

The first house of worship used by
pioneers of Canton was located on the
Reed farm, directly north os Nimissila
park. 1t was a large bank barn with
threshing floor that seemed specially
we'll adapted for sanctuary. A Ger
man Reformed minister, Rev. Some
decker, was the pioneer preacher In this
vicinity. He preached in this old barn
until the Union church was built, in
the early twenties. The structure was
of brick, located where the German
Lutheran church now stands. The
church had a round cupola made of
wood and painted white. The interior
was a so-called double decker" hav-
ing gallery on three sides with
three entrances--on the south, east and
west sides. On the north side was
wine glass" pulpit with a small wind
ing stairway and capable of holding
but two people. The choir sat in the
gallery Immediately opposite the pull
pit. The interior, was finished in white,
presenting a neat and clean appear
ance.
The janitor, Mr.. Adler, served the
congregation many years. He was a
singular old gentleman, small of sta
ture and and always wearing silk hat,
no matter what his occupation might
be. Whether he was about to dig a
grave or shovel snow, he donned the
same venerable hat He was sexton of
the first graveyard in Canton. located
back of the Union church, where

In 1869, the old church, having be-
come too small, was torn down and
erected. Nine years previously the
First Reformed church had been built
on the west half of the lot.

ARREST MAY CLEAR
MURDER MYSTERY
SUSPECT NABBED AT FUN
ERAL. OF VICTIM
Another Chapter in Sig
nal Tower Tragedy.

Seated Near the Casket Containing the
Body Of William n. CIendenin, Victim
of Gold Blooded Murder, William
Mitcheltree is Placed Under Arrest.
Williamsport, Pa, Nov. 22.-While
seated in pew less than twenty feet
from the casket containing the body
of William II. Clendenin, the telegraph
operator who was murdered at his key
in the lonely signal tower at Lockhav-
en- last Thursday night, William
Mitcheltree was placed under arrest on
the charge of being concerned in the
murder. The arrest created profound
sensation despite the fact that 1t was
made very quietly and few knew OF 1t
until 1t was all over. Even then Con-
stable Meyer, who made the arrest,
shrouded the affair in mystery by de-
clining to tell on what evidence he
acted or even If Mitcheltree was ac-
cused of the Clendenin crime. All that
he would vouchsafe was that he want
ed him for murder.
The church was crowded with rail-
road men who had gathered from all
along the line to pay last tribute to
their murdered associate. Two special
trains had been run by the New York
Central to accomT odate those who
wished to attend the funeral.
Just before the body was brought to
the church, the minister who officiated
caused the first sensation of the after
noon by denouncing In unmeasured
terms the crime and then suggesting
that reward of $500 would be paid for
the arrest of the assassin. A few min
utes later while the choir was singing
hymn, Constable Meyer forced his
way through the crowd and proceeding
down the aisle placed Mitcheltree un-
der arrest. The two men left the
church quietly and the officer placed
his prisoner into carriage which he
had in waiting, and they we're driven
hurriedly to Lockhaven where Mitchell
tree was locked up. He will be arraign-
ed in the morning.
The news of the arrest spread
quickly and many of those who were
in attendance on the funeral followed
the accused to Lockhaven. Beyond
saying that he had made the arrest or
a charge of murder, Constable Meyer
refused to talk.
One sreport had 1t that Clendenins
last message sent after the deadly bul.
let had entered his breast, after few
unrecognizable dots and dashes ended
Tree" this fact together with the
fact that Mitcheltree answers in a
general way the description of the
man seen near the signal tower by 9
passing railroad man is believed tc
form the basis Of the arrest.
When searched in the prison golt
watch was found on Mitcheltree ant
for a time it wfs believed to have
been the one stolen from the murdered
operator. Later, however, it develop
ed that it belonged to young woman
who had attended the funeral The
prisoner declined to say how it came
into his possession.

ROGERS WOULD PREFER LAW
Philadelphia Base Ball Treasurer Re-
pudiates Cincinnati Peace
Treaty.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.-John /.
Rogers, treasurer Of the Philadelphia Ma
tional League Base Ball club, in an inter-
view today denounced President Johnson
of the American league as n man who fails
to keep his word, and denied that the
peace committee of his league had power
TO act.
The committee, MIR. Rogers said, was
originally instructed TO meet the repre-
sentatives OF the American league witt the
Idea Of ascertainlng upon what terms the
two leagues could come TO an amicable
agreement and end the so-called base ball
war.
Asked whether or not he had been con-
suited on the matter of peace terms, Mr..
Rogers admitted having received a COM
munication from Chairman Hermann ask
ing the attitude of the Philadelphia Off
Gals on five points likely to be taken up at
the conference, one of them being the dis
posal of the players. According to Mr..
Rogers a most emphatic refusal was given
to even consider the last named PROPOSE
ton. ,g
''Outnumbered ninety-nine to one" in
sisted Mr.. Rogers, I'VE would never agree
TO give up that which. rightfully belongs 10
us. If pushed, we should naturally take
the matter to the courts.
Il am at a loss to ascertain what hap
pened, as know nothing beyond what was
lie acknowledged, however, receiving a
typewriter report from Cincinnati, which,
however, he argued, was identical to word
ing to that given TO the papers and con-
tained no reason for ~disregarding the
wishes of the Philadelphia club.
What action VIII you take at the Ma
tional league meeting in Cincinnati on
/ Monday MI. Rogers was asked.
None whatever was the reply, 'as /
cannot be there. The club, however, will
be represented. As TO what stand we will
take remains to be seen, l never cross
bridges Until | come to them. The whole
aspect of things may be changed when |
hear from Mr.. Dreyfus. There may be
certain clauses. stipulations or agreements
not included in the general report which
viii place an entirely different light on the
subject"
Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburg called on
Mr.. Rogers today, but remained only a
short time. He win meet Mr.. Rogers again
tomorrow. Concerning Mr.. Dreyfus' visit
Mr.. Rogers said:
II have no knowledge whatever of any
deal by which the visit Of Mr.. Dreyfus can
be connected with the sale of the Philadel-
phia club, although, as | have SO often
said, l would be heartily glad TO get out OF
the business"
