A peculiar accident that came near

occurred at the home of Homer Van
Nostran, 431 Park avenue, Saturday
morning. The residence is situated
on an elevation where 1t Is affected
more or less by wind and storms.
While finishing the family baking Fri
day afternoon extreme difficulty was
experienced in obtaining a sufficient
quantity of gas. The wind caused the
flame to flicker necessarily and valves
we're loosened more and more. It was
afterwards discovered that the gas
was turned on so freely that great.

throughout the afternoon and after a
while the women Of the house began
to complain of languor and nasuea
The sleeping apartments Of the
house are directly over the kitchen
and the gas fumes we're carried up
through a register. The women re
paired to their rooms early in the
evening. On arising in the morning
they were found to be suffering terri

work throughout the day and did not
feel the effects SO severely. DR.. M

A BLIZZARD
Struck Canton Sunday
Bringing Zero Weather

A severe blizzard struck Canton
Sunday. The advance guard reached
the city Saturday, but 1t was not until
Sunday afternoon that the full force Of
the wind and the extreme cold were
felt, The wind blew gale along about
o'clock and the air was full of blind
ing snow. The mercury began falling
rapidly and shortly after dark it had
reached 2 above zero. BY 10 o'clock last
night 1t was to the zero point and by 2
in the morning 1t was 4 below.
The freezing weather put sudden
stop to the flood that had been prev
alent for several days and Sunday the
creeks were within their banks and all
that was left to indicate that there had
been high water was the rubbish
clinking about where the food had
reached and large cakes Of ice that
were deposited at various points along
the lowlands

ALLIANCE
STOCK GAMBLERS WE'RE
HIT HARD.
A cleveland FAILURE
Causes the Loss of Thou
sands of Dollars.

The stock exchange" Of the Farm
ham Rhoades Co., Of Cleveland. went
into the hands of a receiver Friday
and a branch office located at ALI
ance was ordered to close its doors
and quit paying out money. The re-
suit was that lot Of citizens OF that
city lost money. OF the CONSERVATION
and losses among the local gamblers
the Alliance Review says:
This message was received by w.
d. Entrikan the manager of the ALI
ance branch shortly after noon on Fri
day and he at once complied with the
instructions. On Saturday morning
the Office was again opened but no at
tempt was made to handle the ticker
or margin in stocks. Gathered abort
the room was an excited crowd OF
ex-speculators who had their money
up on margins and they appeared to
be without remedy. They clarnored
for their money but 1t had passed out
of the hands Of the local manager and
was housed in the vaults of the bank
used as their depository and as such
was assets in the hands of the as
/ signee.
The failure of this firm came as a
surprise to investors who had patron
lied the office but it did not come as
such to the Review which at many
times in the past had sounded the
warning note of caution to the plung-
ers in the game of chance. 1t Is ru-
mored that the firm of the Farnham-
Rhodes Co. Is a myth and that the
real name of the owner and manager
of the business is one man whose
name will appear later in the game.
It is at present impossible to tell
the loss of this failure to Alliance but
1t will amount to several thousand
dollars. One man is reported to have
$4,000 in the bucket at this Office
which will never be seen again. An
other man in Maximo is reported as
having $1,000 invested. An Alliance
.rm $2,5O0 and numerous individuals
have from 5000 to $500 of good money
tied up by the courts in the hands
of the assignee which will never be
returned to the investor.
AS soon as the failure had been
noised and confirmed, the officers of
our local attorneys were besieged by
those who had been duped by an un-
scrupulous firm, wanting to know
what, If any, was the remedy to pun

Grated by the coast artillery as an aux
iliary Of the Notifications on shore.
II the new drill regulations which
have been issued for the coast artillery
are guide, then there is real navy as
signed to the coast artillery known as
the floating defenses." None of these
vessels are seagoing, but they consist of
monitors. gunboats, scout ships, tor
pedo boats and patrol boats. The coast
defense ships are to supplement the
shore defenses where the latter do not
give adequate protection by reason Of
the width of the approaches or the near
ness of the harbor to the sea.
Scout ships are employed to patrol OF
shore and to discover the approach Of
the enemy and to signal Transformation
to the shore station. Torpedo boats are
needed at the Notifications to meet and
repel attacks which may be made by the
enemy's torpedo boats. Submarines
are to maneuver outside Of the mine field
against large ships. prior to and during
the attack. Patrol boats are needed In
foggy weather to guard the mine fields.
The coast artillery has not been given its
feet as yet and the question as to wheth-
err these ships should be under the coast
artillery or under the naval establish
ment has not yet been determined.

THE VENERABLE Mr.. DAVIS
A Democratic Picture Which Must De-
light All True Disciples of Genuine
Bourbonism.

According to a Washington dispatch
the democratic national committee has
decided that it would not be best for
Hon. Henry G.. Davis to take the stump
during this campaign. Mr.. Davis Is to
be asked to remain in West Virginia.
In fact, there are indications that the
national committee would feel safer II
the vice presidential candidate were sur
rounded by barb wire fence without an
exit.
AS an orator, Mr.. Davis disappointed
in his speech of acceptance. Members
of the notification committee at White
Sulphur Springs, who had expected
torrent of eloquece, found only thin,
stream. When they Nexpected heir
candidate to strike a keynote he hit
only lost chord. Where they looked
for epigram they found only common
places.
Notwithstanding his lack of eloQuence
Mr. Davis may be found useful In the
campaign. II he cannot talk he can
write. And there are many requests
for his autograph. UP to date Mr..
Davis has not needed these requests.
but the campaign Is young yet, and he
may relent. For he must consider, in
the course Of time, that II he is no ora
tor he has the means that supply ora
tors.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says that the
point to be impressed on Mr.. Davis
is that money talks. When this point
Is fully recognized by the candidate for
the vice presidency, when he realizes
the real reason for his nomination at
St. Louis, he will doubtless come to the
rescue of his perplexed party and send
to Treasurer Peabody more substan-
tial evidence Of his appreciation Of the
honor due him than he gave the noti-
fication committee.
Hon. Henry G. Davis, calm, contribut-
ing, but fenced in, is the democratic pic

BRYAN AND JUDGE PARKER.
Democratic Candidate Runs with the
Gold Bugs and Fraternizes with
10 to / Crowd.

Turn about Is fair play Is time-hon-
ored adage, and one that ought to work
quite as well In politics as In anything
else. On this line OF reasoning Bryan
should be willing. not to say glad, to re-
ciprocate the sentiments which actuated
solid-gold Parker when, as an empty
silverite, he supported the Nebraska
talking machine. The proverbial' ST.
lence which Is said to be golden, and not
silvern, is the kind favored by the Esop-
US haymaker, who is at present engaged
In making the kind of hay which will
not be likely to count for much next Mo-
vember. Does Underhill Parker run
with the gold bugs and bark with the sill
verites? In the contemplation of such
a combination as that of himself and the
old peanut philosopher of Wolfert's
Roost we become mixed and uncertain
In our thoughts, and are led to fancy that
We are threshing and splashing hope
lessly about in the troubled waters of
prize-guessing contest The fact that
Underhill Parker supported Bryan is a
feather pulled out of his cap, and II Bry-
an should refuse to espose the cause If
the Esopus agriculturist 1t should be
taken to mean that the lost feather has
been restored. Bryan Is, strictly speak
ing, a combination of tomahawk and
jaw, even as Underhill Parker Is crea-
ture of hayrake and silence; and It
should go without saying that the ST.
lence of the Terpsichorean crusher of po-
tato bugs is in every way preferable to
the potpourri of the Nebraskan, who is
more generously supplied with lungs
than brains. The situation, which Is an
extremely interesting one at present, is
quite likely to be even more absorbing
two months hence, when the political
pot is at the boiling point. The buga-
boo of Imperialism, and all the other
bugaboos and puppets. are now being
secured and repainted and tuned for
democratic campaign purposes. The
veneer and highly-colored underhand
painted pictures that represent fancied
facts and issues will be easily penetrated
by the optic Of the voter who has the
good of the country at heart; and II
Bryan should come forth and contribute

hill Parker. 1t will he Waterloo for
him, and also for Roosevelt, who will

Too Much Of a Good Thing.

1t was reported some months ago that
Mr. Carnegie. on being told that the Wall
street and trust interests had refused to
render financial aid to Roosevelt cam
paign, declared that he would fill the void
to the extent of million. But 1t is
scarcely credible that so great a sum
would be offered in serious earnest even
by man of Mr.. Carnegie's immense
wealth and great liberality. And 1t Is
morally certain that Mr.. Roosevelt
would promptly veto such an arrange
ment. No man ought to have million
dollars invested in presidential cam
paign. The objections to such rels-
tion between a president and a citizen are
too obvious to require mention. Wash

The old structure was mentioned by
Dickens in his American notes and it
suggests a story still told in Washing
ton to illustrate some Of the peculiarities
of that noted author. During Dickens
last visit to the United States he was en-
tertained and lionized by Washington so
ciety. but at times was inclined to be q
little snobbish and to sheer at the
Americans. At reception he was in
troduced to "a gentleman whom he
treated rather ceolly. The next day
this gentleman was sitting on the rail-
ing of the long bridge with a shotgun
looking for ducks. Dickens in his perez
CARNATIONS about the city, went out on
the bridge and met the gentleman. The
latter, remembering the Englishman' s
at him and went on hunting ducks.
Dickens was little chagrined, but sup
posed the man had not recognized him.
Finally he turned to the hunter and
said:
Il say, this view reminds me of a
scene in David Copperfield."
The hunter turned impatiently aud
retorted: Look here, Dickens: you
can't spring any of your novels on me
to-day. I'm out after ducks"
This bridge has been used for rail-
road and passenger traffic. A new
railroad bridge which is more than
twice the height of the old one from the
water level has been constructed, and in
a few weeks will be open to traffic. A
new wagon bridge will then be erected
above the railroad bridge, and when 1t Is
completed the old "long bridge" will be
destroyed.

speaker. AS he likes to express 1t In his
homely phrase: you cannot always
tell from the looks of a toad how far 1t

granddaughter, Iowa country banker
is deceptive as to his abilities. The sec
rotary is in close touch with the soil
and draws many Of its similitudes from
the simple life and occupation Of the
farmer. He Is natural-born story
teller, and his knowledge of common

him to point his tales in the most eff

thinking quickly on his feet, and Is sharp

times quaint, there is no flaw in his
grammar, and his English will pass mus

Of clinching point in an argument with
