News of the week from the financial
standpoint has certainly been favor
able in character. The publication,
after the market closed on Tuesday, of
the government report contained the
promise of exceptionally favorable
harvests, removing to a measurable
degree the recent fears of damage to
the corn and spring wheat crops and
confirming the report that large and
profitable winter wheat crop has al
ready been gathered. In addition, there
have, as factors in the stock market,
been, first, the successful flotation of
another large loan by Japan; second,
the increase in the semi-annual divi-
dend of the Baltimore & Ohio, where
dividend paying list; third, another IA
vorable statement of foreign trade,
which is of importance in connection
with the money market in the imme-
diate future, and fourth, the fact that
the market itself has so steadily re-
sisted liquidation of most extensive
character by the large professional op-
orators. With such a combination of
distinctly favorable influences it might
seem disappointing that, instead of
about holding its own, the market has
not further advanced; but this is read
lily explained by the fact that these de-
velopments have merely met the ex-
pectations of those who had taken the
trouble TO investigate matters, and who
therefore were in position where they
could take profits at a time others
were waiting for the facts TO be pre-
sented in the usual routine channels.

History of Pike Township.
By JACOB SMITH.

The following extract copied from
the history of Stark county detailing
a part of Mr.. Drury's domestic affairs
We give in this connection: Mrs.
Drury was an accomplished lady or
great personal attractions, and did not
associate with the plain rustic society
of the place. Her superior attractions
we're no safeguard to virtue, but, as
it is often the case, rather an incen-
tive to vice. A tailor by the name
of Robert Lythe made the Drury fam.
lily place of frequent resort in carry
ing on his business, and, after more
mature acquaintance, the tailor mar
ried the niece of Mr.. Drury, But, not
content with his success, he proceeded
to invade the sancity of Mr.. Drury's
domicile, succeeding in stealing the
affections of the accomplished wife.
Drury administered a severe casti
CATION to the enemy of his peace, and
would have inflicted summary punish
ment had he not left instantly, AMI
thus escaped his vengeance. Mrs,
Lythe who was much esteemed by Mr..
Drury, followed her husband. This
was in the month of March, in a very
inclement state of weather, with snow
and slush on the ground, for which the
lady was poorly provided, having moth
ing but thin pair Of slippers to pro-
tect her feet. Mr. Drury's sympathies
for his niece were deeply moved. He
tried to follow the fugitive pair
through the forests, but his search
was fruitless. He could find no trace
Of the course taken by them. Years
passed and nothing was heard of the
guilty man until the outbreak of the
oil excitement in Pennsylvania when
citizen OF Stark county came across
an old man In the oil regions, up the
Allegheny river, who enquired of some
of the old citizens on the Nimish-
illen and gave his name as Robert
Lythe. His wife was dead. Mr.. Drury
took his wife and two children to Can.
ada, then returned, sold his property
at Sparta, and left the neighborhood
forever"
The religious history of Pike town
ship dates back almost to its first
settlement. The first preacher TO hold
religious services In the township of
whom there Is any reliable account
given, was the Rev. James b. Finley
a Methodist Circuit Rider and who
at that time travelled the GAINESVILLE or
Wills creek circuit as 1t was called, in
1S09-10. This circuit covered the fol
lowing territory, and was computed tn
be AIS miles round. Its rout was as
follows: Beginning at GAINESVILLE and
running east, 1t embraced all the set
Elements on each side Of the Wheeling
road, on to Salt Creek and the Buffalo
fork OF Wills Creek; thence down to
Cambridge and Leatherwood on Still
water; thence TO Evansville and Nor

Bernard Bell, the subject of this
sketch, was born in New Philadelphia,
Ohio. His parents moved to Massillon
when ne was 2 years of age, and he
has made Massillon his home ever
snce. A: the age Of IL he began to
work in 4 glass bottle factory, and
later learned the trade of gl1Ss bottle
blowing, which occupation he fol-
followed until the spring of 1902. He
is member of the Glass Bottle Blow
ers' Association of the United States
and Canada, one of the strongest and
most conservative labor unions in ex-
istence, which is regarded by the Civic
Federation as the best governed trades
union in the United States. Mr.. Bell
had the honor of representing his fell
low craftsmen at their national con-
ventions, which are held annually, al
most continuously from the time he
became a member. In the year 1901,
at Milwaukee, Wis, he was elected
member Of the national wage commit
tee, and reelected without opposition
in 1902 at Atlantic City. In the spring
of the same year he was rendered the
nomination for mayor of the city of
Massillon on the Democratic ticket,

without opposition, and, although Mas
sillon is a Republican city and had a
strong and able candidate on their
ticket, Mr.. Bell was elected by large
majority, having carried every ward in
the city, II 1903 he was reelected by
still greater majority having carried
every precinct in the city. Mayor Bell
receives credit from the people who
are interested in the welfare of the city
regardless Of politics, as having given
to the city Of Massillon one of the
cleanest and best administrations it
has enjoyed for years. and, while he is
a Democrat. he has always been liberal
and Independent in exercising his right
to vote, and in his speeches at meetings
of workingmen has always advocated
independence in politics, believing and
advocating that political parties belong
to the people, and not the people to
the parties. He has been rendered the
nomination for state representative ou
the Democratic ticket. and in soliciting
the support of the voters of Stark
county for election he stands upon his
record while serving his fellow crafts
men while on the national wage COM
mittee, and While serving the people of
Massillon as their chief executive.

at their proper value, in all amounted
to $4,000; quite small compensation
when compared with the salaries
which the ministers of the present day
receive. Mr.. Finley in his biography
says: When | started to travel this
| circuit | put my family into a cabin,
their entire possessions being but a
bed and some wearing apparel. My
funds being all exhausted / sold my
boots off my feet to purchase pro.
visions for them and then started on
my circuit to be absent four weeks"
Many were his difficulties and perils
The country was wild; the people gen.
orally ignorant and inexperienced.
They often interrupted him in his
preaching by mockings, curses and
threats Of punishment, and sometimes
he felt it his duty to "go on" on his
muscle; and he was strong as an OK.
A story is told of his threshing, a
notorious bully and then bringing him
into the fold shortly afterward
Very many incidents of an interest
ing character might be related of this
pioneer preacher which are given IN
his biography; but as they do not
form a part of the townships history
we will omit them and refer our read
