of IL, said he hoped the Panama ques-
tion could be discussed without per-
sonal rancor and partisan heat. He
feared that the action of the govern

involve the United States into disas-
trous consequences. He did not fear
conflict with Colombia
This Is a nation so great and pow
erful," he declared. that no people on
the face of the earth seeks quarrel

Nations even better prepared for
warfare than the United States. he
said. shrink from quarrel with this
government. Even Great Britain
does not seek a quarrel with u.s." he
continued, for our great population
and history has demonstrated to man
kind that the greatest fighting people
in the world are the Americans"
For these reasons. he felt that a

WELL SHOT

The fifth well put down by the
Pennsylvania Oil and Gas company
was shot Saturday afternoon at How
enstine and from present indications
has proved itself to be the most sue
cessful one yet drilled. After a peri.
cd of 20 minutes had elapsed from
the shooting, the bailer was run and
showed a production of one barrel of
oil in 40 minutes. This is regarded
as very encouraging, the most sue
cessful of the preceding wells having
averaged In a similar case, a barrel
an hour. The well will be put to
pumping Immediately, rods and tub.
ing having been sent down this
morning, and pumping will be be-
gun this evening. The shooting was
done by John Freeman, of Scio. sue
cessor 20 Charles Matthews, who was
killed two weeks ago in nitro-gly-
cerine explosion at Cadiz. The task
of shooting well In cold weather is
an extremely hazardous one. The nj
troglycerine having frozen en- route,
1t was necessary to place the cans
in which 1t was contained. in hot wa.
ter, to be thawed out. Sixty quarts
were used. On Wednesday the six
Pennsylvania directors will come to
Canton and meet with Ed. Langen'
bach. Walter Stephens and Ellis
Lewis, the Canton representatives
when a decision will be made as to
whether drilling will be continued OF
suspended until spring.

Mr.. BRYAN WAS THERE

Evansville, Ind, Jan. 14.-Represen-
tative William Randolph Hearst not
only failed to- put in appearance here
for the demonstration in which he
was to divide honors with William
Jennings Bryan tonight but he also
omitted to send his regrets or a notice
of his change of plans.
Mr.. Bryan. however. was on hand
and he did his utmost to fill the pro-
gram, but the crowd had gathered
primarily under the promise OF new
attraction in the line OF national can
didates and 1t could not be appeased
altogether by the oratory Of the Ne
braskan.
The chairman alluded to Mr.. Bryan
as the leader of the hour" but failed
to make any reference at all to Mr.
Hearst.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was along the
lines of the one he delivered at In.
dianapolis last night. Mr.. Bryan tool
as his text political foresight Is faith
In the wisdom of doing right" and
announced that he purposed speaking
from the text wherever he goes, until
he has given 1t circulation throughout
the country. He made the same attack
on the organizers that he did at In
dianapolis.

wreck TRAIN
CRASHED INTO A LOADED
STREET CAR.
TWO FATALLY INJURED
Pathetic Feature of the
Accident.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. ia Chicago
and Grand Trunk wrecking train
crashed into a loaded street car on the
Gratiot avenue line here tonight corn
pletely wrecking the car and injurlng
nearly every occupant more or less Sc
rlously. 1t is believed, however, that
tut two are fatally hurt.
The accident occurred through a
misunderstanding of signals given the
motorman by the conductor. The lat
ter saw the train approaching and sig
nailed the motorman vigorously to
back up as the cars tender was al
most on the track. The motorman
started the car forward instead, and
the engine struck the car just for
ward of the rear truck.
Flying glass cut practically every
one of the sixty-four people in the car
and was carried down the track al
most 200 feet Air brakes stopped the
train before the car capszed. Practi-
cally every ambulance in the city was
called to the scene and physicians by
the dozen attended the injured who
suffered largely however from broken
bones and cuts.
One of the sad features of the acci-
dent was injury of Miss Edith Gould.
She was riding on the car with her
fiance Herbert Daley. They were taken
out of the car to the hospital in the
same ambulance Daley was only
stunned but Miss Gould's skull was
fractured and she will die.
Henry Opifcus, laborer is the other
fatally injured passenger.
Others who were hurt are:
F. r. Rudd, chest crushed.
Miss Christine Riegel, arm broken
and serious internal injuries.
Edward Rekowsky, both legs broken
John Beck. internal injuries.
Fred Opifcus, face cut and hir
broken.
Miss c. Adams, ribbs broken.
| Leonard Mitchell, ribs broken. and
spine injured.
Miss Gertrude Mitchell, internal in
juries.
Herman Auberlin, patrolman, back
injured and shoulder broken.
Frank Middell. patrolman, arm
broken and shoulder dislocated.
Charles Hess. head cut and bruised
AL Butler. the gateman. places all
the blame for the accident on the mo-
torman. who he says, stopped his cal
directly under the gate, in the first
place having evidently intended fast
sprint across the track.

GLASS HOUSE
Will be Elected by Canton People
at SherodsvilIo " Bonus Of
$4,000 is Given.

Proprietors of the Canton Stone Co.,
with quarries at Sherodsville, are ask
ing that town for bonus of $4,000
with which to build glass house. the
glass to be made out of the stone from
the quarries. c. w. Somers, w. l..
Davis, W. b. Dagger and others of Can
ton, are in the firm. The proposition
is as follows:
"They will erect in Sherodsville. as
soon as possible, a glass bottle plant
that will afford employment to at
least 100 persons provided the citizens
OF Snerodsyille hang up a cash bonus
of $4,000. They will not ask one cent
of the bonus money until the plant is
| laced in operation and has on its pay
roll 100 persons. They also guaran-
tee that they will keep the plant in
Sherodsville for a period of twenty
years.
Tests show that the stone from this
quarry contains a large per centum of
glass. Thus besides having the pro-
duct in the rough right at hand the
concern would have excellent shipping
facilities and plenty of water and fuel.
Sherodsville is well located, and when
the Wabash extension is completed it
cannot be surpassed as a shipping
point.
The proprietors of the Canton Stone
Co. are G. w. Somers, who is one of
the heavy stockholders of the Somers
mining company and man of excel
lent business qualifications, and w. l..
Davis, the we'll known contractor.
A meeting of the local business men
and those interested in the project will
be held next week"

ANSWER. .
FILED BY MAUD BACHERT
IN DIVORCE CASE.
SENSATIONAL CHARGES
Made Against Her Hus-
band, Ed. BaChert.

MAUI j, BaCnert, Oh CdntOii, EoS
filed a rather sensational answer in
the divorce case brought against her
by her husband, Edward G. Bachert,
prominent and wealthy business
man of this city, The answer makes
general denial of the charges OF
infidelty made by the husband, and
she then goes farther and In cross
petition asks for divorce, alimony and
restoration to her maiden name OF
Maud J. Gibbs.
The answer alleges that her hus.
band fraudulently contracted the mar
riage with her by representing that
he was a man of normal physical
condition, whereas in fact he is not.
She alleges that the very next day
after they were married, he was
guilty of extreme cruelty, i'm that he
asked her for the wedding ring and
took It away from her and never re-
turned it. and when she asked him
for it told her to go to nell; that
within a week after their marriage
he said he was sorry he had married
her and that he would make 1t SO
hot for her she would be glad to get
out; that he called her vile and inde
cent names and took her fine dresses
from the closets and threw them in
the attic stairway.
She also says that he threatened
to kill her with hatchet at various
times, threw fine china dishes upon
the floor and broke them without any
cause that he charged her with Wis
iting disreputable houses; that he re
NAMED out at night until 10 to 4
o'clock and claimed that he was sleep
ing in his office; that when he came
home he would abuse her. pulling her
out of bed and choking her, and in the
after part of the night when he
came in he would start to clean house
so as to disturb and annoy her.
She also charges that on May 10
last he assaulted her and abused her
until she was unconscious and the
next day he ordered her out of the
house; that he locked her in the
house on Sundays and went out and
got his dinner at a restaurant and she
had to depend upon the neighbors to
bring her something to eat; that he
threatened to kill her ii she applied
for alimony in the divorce case; that
he at night would climb trees and
telephone poles about the house SC
as to see into the windows of his
home. At one time, the petition al
leges, when she was in her bath, he
pulled her out by the ear and got into
the bath tub himself; that on No
vember ii last he grabbed her by the
thumbs, dragged her upstairs and
struck her in the mouth, and that al
that time she was forced to file an
affldayit with Mayor Smith for his ar
rest, but that it was withdrawn in
order to avoid publicity; that he
wrote letters to merchants warning
them not to trust her, and that he
made frequent complaints about the
cost of living.
The answer states that he is worth
about 100000 and makes about $25(
a month. c. C. Upham is attorney
for the wife and filed the answer ant
cross-petition which is quite volumi
nous and teens with charges of cruel
ty.

STARK TALENT
Instructed Carroll County Farmers on
Cattle Breeding and Road Work

The Carroll county farmers insti-
tute was held at Carrolton last week
and W. Reeder, of Marlboro, was one
OF the lecturers. or his efforts upon
the iostrum the Carroll Republican
Standard says:
Cattle Breeding and Feeding" by
w. Reeder, of Stark-co., was the next
subject for discussion and the speaker
handled it in a highly interesting man
ner. Here is a brief summary of his
remarks: If you begin breeding one
kind of cattle keep everlastingly at 1t;
If you change breeds you are lost
Shorthorns are the best all-purpose
cottle for the farm; II you want butter
breed Jerseys; If you want milk or
cheese breed Holstelns; by all means
keep uniform type of cattle; in feed
ing cattle commence by feeding the
calf; never keep steer or heifer on
your farm after they become two years
old unless you expect to keep the hei-
for COW; never sell any iced off your
own farm. feed it to your stock and
get the benefit of the manure and sell
the stock. The address was good one
and 1t was handled In manner that
showed the speaker to be familiar
with all the details of stock raising.
w. Reeder, Of Marlboro, Stark Co.,
asked the farmers to consider what he
thought were some very good points
for the betterment Of our highways, by
cheapening the cost of building our
county bridges. He also applied the
lash to the various township officials
who have been lax In caring for road
making machinery. He also advised
the farmers not to object to the road
tax which he thought was entirely
too low at present.
