water. His pigship was caught in
the whirlpool and carried down,

where the shoat made connection
with the roof. Those familiar with
the river say that the roof was part
of same wreckage that was left
stranded when the river went down
after the last rise, and that the
animal probably took refuge on the
roof during the recent flooding of
some of the back country, and, as
the river continued rising. roof

THOMPSON FOR CABINET

Washington, D. c., Nov. 22.-Dr.
w. o. Thompson, president of Ohio
State university, for secretary of ag-
riculture under President Taft; such
is the suggestion of F. A. Derthick,
master of the Ohio State Grange, who
has been here attending the session
of the national Grange.
Farmers of this country" he said,
"are greatly pleased with the admin
istration of Secretary James Wilson
of the department of agriculture. If
it pleases President Taft to reappoint
him, the farmers generally will be
gratifed. But if Secretary Wilson
should wish to retire, the name of DR..
w. o. Thompson, president of the
Ohio State university, suggests itself.
For purely selfish reasons l should
wish to have him remain in his pres
ent position, for we need him in Ohio
where he has proved himself as one
of the most foremost educators the
state has ever developed"

rick and John Fitzpatrick were arrest
ed this afternoon In connection with
the case against j. M. Meyers and

Alarmed by the "dry" wave sweep

authority, is going to follow suit next
Ssnday. Even in the smaller towns,
the rulers of the thirst studios have
become alarmed, and in such places
as East Greenville and West Brook
field the lid was on tight.
Pitiable sight were those in Mas

cigar stores formed the popular rem

bygone days to spend their Sundays
in the booze emporiums. How they

need of drink was urgent, waited until

Those who anticipated the famine
laid in an extra supply on Saturday
night, and consequently suffered lit

precautions taken against the sale of
liquor, went so far as to erect parti-
tion between his restaurant and the
bar.
Canton saloonists up to yesterday
had experienced no such wave of
alarm as that of those of Massillon.
They took no such precautions. But
upon consideration they have arrived
at the conclusion that the example
of the Massillonians is a good one,
and by mutual agreement among local
saloonists, an attempt will be made
to have universal closing in Canton
next Sunday.
