stine has been called to the land of
rest. He died at his home near Coolies

toms showed some improvement, but

ach and bowels.

years.
1t was about twelve or thirteen
years ago that he lost his eyesight
through disease of the nervous sys-
TEN. His decline was gradual and at
many times he was in such serious
condition that he was very near the
border land. Mr.. Howenstine, like all
the people of that name In this vicin-
ity, was an exemplary man, and leaves
a wide circle of friends. Surviving
relatives are his wife and the follow
ing sons and daughters: Myrtis, Bird,

BASEBALL MAGAATES
TO CONVENE IN
new YORK
Schedules for Season to
be Fixed.
PEACE IS TO PREVAIL

New York. Feb. 2S.-Major League
baseball politics will occupy the atten-
ton Of men most deeply interested in
the National and American organiza-
tions this week. Beginning tomorrow
at noon the American Leagues annual
schedule meeting will convene at the
Fifth Avenue hotel and about the
same hour on Tuesday the National
League schedule committee will hold
a meeting at the Victoria hotel. Both
leagues have prepared schedules OF
playing dates for the coming season
and there is every likelihood Of a joint
meeting of the two committees taking
place some time tomorrow. There is
very little doubt as to non-conhicting
schedules being adopted.
President Ban B. Johnson, of the
American League arrived at the Fifth
avenue hotel tonight. He was met by
c. A. Comskey, of Chicago, c. w.
Somers, of Cleveland, J. Hector Clems
and T. J. Lotus of the Washington
club with whom he held a brief consul
tation. After this informal meeting
had ended President Johnson said: 81
see no good reason why a non-conflict-
ing schedule cannot be adopted for the
coming season and believe that every
thing will pass off as tremendously as
during last year. Our organization will
convene its annual schedule meeting at
noon tomorrow in this hotel and the
only change in the arrangements will
be in the makeup of the committee on
schedule, the members of which have
selected as follows: Frank ]. Farrell,
of the New York club; G. A. Comis-
key Chicago and c. w Somers, Cleve-
land.
These three also will constitute the
committee on rules and l should think
that we will be able to get through with
all of our business by Tuesday evening g
or earlier on Wednesday"

Also Bugs.

Some time ago l read in your paper
about getting rid OF rats and mice. and
1t stated the only way to get rid OF
them was to keep a lot Of cats and
catch them in traps-so have better
way than that although 1t don't kill

harm.
Just sprinkle sulphur where they are
apt to keep themselves
II you haul corn in your crib sprin-

fill up the crib sprinkle a little sui

enough for five hundred bushels of ear
corn and that costs only five cents a
pound II YOU have mice or rats in
the cellar just sprinkle sulphur there
and they will leave. It's perfectly safe
for people and all kinds of stock. II Is

THE REIGN OF LAW.
This town has many churches;
Their spires toward heaven are
reared.
And by the Canton people
The Lord of heaven is feared
tBy some of Them
This town is likewise governed
BY laws that are obeyed
With cheerfulness by everyone
On good laws side arrayed--
when they feel like IT.
Its guardians are the finest"
OF any in the land,
And 'gainst all forms of evil
They take valiant stand
when ordered to.)
But sometimes there are "doin's"
That shun the light of day
Unnoticed by policemen.
Who look the other way
(They've mad a tip
And then there is the mayor,
Sworn to uphold the laws,
Who sometimes fails to do so,
For the reason-well, because
lie doesn't feel like it.
But the mayor has spasm
or virtue once'n awhile,
And gives policemen orders
For a raid on something vile
(And comparatively cheap
And in this town of churches,
Upon the Sabbath day,
There met bunch Of gamecocks
In fierce and bloody fray
(And Canton won.l
The husky sports of Canton
Did Massillon badly fleece. ~
And none there was to send call
For Canton's brave police
(Should call higher up
Fish will soon commence to bite
Also mosquitoes. But the sucker hath

The month of February is plenty

There are many setbacks in this
