Tales of The Town.

She was newly married Lancas-
ter girl and did not know a little bit
about housekeeping or shopping and
she was giving her first order to the
grocer over the phone. 1t was a
crusher, but the grocer was a clever
fellow and was used to all kinds Of
orders and could interpret them
easily.
II want two pounds of paralyzed
sugar." she began.
"Yes'm. Anything else?"
1.-TWO cans of condemned milk"
'Yes'm."
He set down pulverized sugar and
condensed milk.
"A bag of fresh salt. Be sure it's
fresh"
''Yes'm. What next"
"A pound of desecrated Goldfish. :"
He wrote glibly, ''Desicated cod"
Nothing more, ma'am. We
have some nice horse radish, just
in"
NO" she said. 1T would be of
no use, we don't keep horse"
The grocer sat down and famed
himself with a washboard although
the temperature was freezing.
We have heard many times about
the fellow who takes more papers
than he can read" He was in Lam
caster last Saturday. He wiped his
nose on store awning, paid 25 cents
for an almanac, bought a cake OF
ten cent soap for which he paid half
a dollar, put q nickel in one of the
slot machines at the postoffice and
kicked because the mail did not ap-
pear, wanted to know what the new
building on the courthouse square
was going to be when completed,
and still takes more papers than he
can read We think he does.
Previous to the composition les
son, a teacher in one of the Lancas-
ter schools the other day advised
her scholars to not attempt any
flights of fancy nor initiate things
they had heard but to just be them
selves and write what was in them.
AS a result of this advice one of the
little folks produced the following:
I am not going to attempt flights
of fancy. I am just going to write
what is in me; and I've got heart,
two lungs, diaphragm, and I've
also got a stomach, and it's got in it
peppermint, some pickles, three
cookies, licorice drops and my din

We airs going to quit saying any
thing about Tom orion in these
columns. The next thing we know
he will have become so popular that
he will get his picture in a Peruna
ad.
A fellow came into this Office the
other day and kicked about the
price Of the paper. Some people
are always kicking. Why, if this
sheet was printed on gold with ink
of silver and the subscription price
only so cents per year, some poor
deluded specimen of humanity

WATERED MILK
This Is Charge Placed Against
Louisville Farmer by Dairy
and Food Inspector.

AS a result of quiet investigation
charges were filed in Mayor Smiths
court Tuesday by c. NJ. Shafer, in
spector of the dairy and food depart
ment, against Frank Kerchner, a farm
er residing about a mile northwest of
Louisville, accusing him of selling
adulterated or "watered" milk. While
making his examinations in tins vi
cinity Shafer found that milk being
sold by J. w. Mooth was below the
standard He examined the fluid sold
to that dealer by various farmers and
learned that Kerchner was the Of
fender.
An officer will be sent to arrest the
accused Tuesday. A fine of hot less
than $50 nor more than 5000 Is the
penalty for the offense.
To the News-Democrat Shafer stated
that the milk being sold generally in
and about Canton was in excellent con-
dition.

AGED VETERAN
Making q PiIgrimsge q to Buffalo,
Visits Ca anton and Mckinley
Tomb.

Afflicted with peculiar disease,
Frank Wonderee, veteran of two
wars, is making his way from Calves
ton, Texas, to Buffalo, on foot, in Or
der that he may be treated by one Of
President McKinley's surgeons, DR..
Roswell Parks, who remained at the
BEDSIDE of the chief executive until
his death. Serving in q number of the
worst engagements in the civil and
Spanish wars, Wonderlee, who has
reached the 50-year mark, has never
thought 1t necessary to apply for a
pension. AS result he is without
means and by making short talks on
his war experiences, manages to ac-
cumulate sufficient money to continue
his journey.
The aged soldier spoke on the pub
lie square Monday night to large as
semblage. His war experiences are well
worth hearing. A resident of Nebras-
ka, Wonderle- with his family, went TO
war. He erected small home in the
wilds of Cuba and fortified 1t against
attack from the Spanish and Cuban
armies. He finally enlisted with the
Cuban army after the death of his wife
aud later Joined the American army Of
occupation. At the conclusion of the
war Wonderlee came to the states and
landing in Galveston last December,
started his zig-zag journey to Buffalo
While in the city Wonderlee went
to Westlawn cemetery to view the Nc
Kinley tomb.

lest, Johnson has presented the same
smiling and confident face. In the
middle of last week between one DEM
ocratic ward captain and another, it
was:
Il don't like the looks of things the
other people are doing an awful lot
of hustling" But Johnson came back
to town, and now it's: Let 'em spend
their money; we've got em skinned by
10000 easy" It's the old story of Sher-
idan to the front.
AS matter of fact, close analysis
Of the situation shows that the Demo-
cratic party in Cuyahoga was never in
better shape. Last spring the solid
Republican east-end," which had saved
the Republican party time and again,
was shattered and the indications are
that after this fall the east-end buga-
boo will be little more than a myth.
The opposition to Hanna in that Sec
ton is unusually strong. One of Sem
ator Hanna's chief lieutenants admit
ted today that the senator would be
satisfied if he could hold Johnson down
to 5000 majority in Cuyahoga county.
The same person said that his own
personal opinion was that the majority
would look more like 10000.

FIERCE WARFARE
| n the Newspaper Field at Mas
siIIon-Scream amers" and
lnvectives Fly.

Over in Massillon there is news
paper war that is becoming lurid. The
Cleaner and the Independent are hull
ing invectives, italics, capitals and
everything except shooting sticks at
each other. in a needless endeavor to
prove to the reading public that some
one is liar, villain and an arch con-
spirator against the welfare of the
community. Just what the fight is
about, the cursory reader has not dis
covered. The main question has been
relegated to oblivion and the issue is
now along purely personal lines.
Both the papers are set up by type
setting machines, which do not have a
supply of italic letters. The result is
that in order to get the proper EN-
phasis the stuff has to be set up in the
"ad' alleys, and all the exclamation
points in two or three fonts of type
are exhausted each issue to give eclat
to the word liar. 1t appeared first in
the Cleaner thus, LIAR" and re-
ed in the Independent, "Liar!!" From
one stage to another 1t reached
'LIAR!!!" and so an infinitum.
The police of that city are on the
watch to prevent duel, but latest re-
ports from the seat of war are to the
effect that each editor has made re-
QUESTION upon the type foundries for
new supply of "sorts," principally
composed of "screamers."

Owners-Army Marches Upon
Fortified Town.

Paris, Oct. 6.-Fifteen hundred strik-

day marched from that place to the
town of Lille and attempted to force
an entrance. The troops of Lille,
which is strongly fortified place, re-
pulsed the strikers. The latter then
attacked the suburban factories, the
proprietors in several instances defend
ing their lives with pistols The strike
movement among the cotton and linen
workers is steadily spreading through
out the entire region.

Gull 7 !
Was the Verdict in the
FaoIe Case.

The jury in the case of the State of
two hours deliberation, returned a ver-
dict of guilty of assault and battery.
Eagle had been arrested charged with
catching hold of a boy named Louis
Reinhart and pushing him along There
had been some trouble between the two
and the evidence showed that Fogle
had considerable provocation, but the
law technically made him guilty. Some
of the jury were in favor of dismissing
the prisoner. Both parties live in Can
ton and the arrest was the result of a
neighbors' quarrel. The case was tried
in probate court.
PLEADED GUILTY.
Lewis Hillson, who has been In jail
for about two months charged with as
saut and battery, went before Judge
Aungst Monday evening and pleaded
guilty. He was fined S. and costs and
committed to the workhorse until fine
and costs were paid. While the case
had some ugly features, the long term
of Imprisonment was deemed sufficient
punishment.

ALLIANCE PEOPLE
~ DEMAND FISH CHUTES
Petition Signed by IT Sportsmen Sent to County
Commissioners Asks for Runways Through
Dams In Mahoning River.

Agitation for fish chutes in the dams
across the streams of Stark county has
been revived by the people of Alliance
filing with the county commissioners
a petition demanding that a passage
way be placed in the dam across the
Mahoning near that city, so that fish
can readily ascend the stream when
they desire to do so. The petition was
signed by j. W. Buck, John G. Bo-
hecker and 125 other prominent resi-
dents of that city. Mr.. Bohecker
brought it to Canton Monday afternoon
and turned it over to the commits
sioners.
The petition states that the dam in
the Mahoning river effectually pre-
vents the passage of fish and that the
citizens of Alliance and Stark county
demand that the passage way >be con-
structed so that the fish may pass free
ly over and above said dam.
When the commissioners received
the petition they looked up the law
and found that when the people de-
manded that fish chutes be placed in
dams that they must comply with the
request. 1t is not optional, but man
datory. Some two years ago similar
petition was received from residents
along the Big Sandy, it being claimed
that the condition of the dams was
such that the fish could not get up the

stream. The question was discussed
at some length and then dropped and
the people of the Sandy valley never
forced the question upon the county Of
ficials
The Alliance people seem to be in
earnest. 1t is said that the dam is
about to be repaired and the passage
way for the finny tribe can be easily
put in place while the repairs are be-
ing made. Formerly the Mahoning
was good fishing stream, but it is
claimed that OF recent years the dams
have kept the fish below and they can
not reach the headwaters. At present
the river contains little else but carp,
the streams during the winter season,
but seems content to bury itself in the
mud and hibernate. The real game
fish, such as pike. salmon, perch and
black bass. go down the streams late in
the fall and return In the spring. This
is also true of catfish and the various
sorts of suckers. Where dam is built
upon modern lines the fish cannot get
over them except in times of very
high water, but where a fish chute is
placed properly they will take advan-
tage of it to get above the dam.
The probabilities are that If the lov-
ers of the rod and reel over the county
press the matter at this time the COM
missioners will take some action.
