MOTHERS DEATH
CAUSE OF INSANITY

Worry over his mothers death has
caused Herman Klinefelter to go in
sane and it was necessary to take
him to the Massillon state hospital
Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. About
the noon hour Mayor Turnbull re-
ceived word that the man had either
dropped dead or taken another fit at
his little place in Maple avenue and
a coach was sent there to take him
to the city prison. He-was unman-
ageable and the patrol wagon had
to be sent for. the mayor and De-
tective Brisbih assisting in the care
of the man. After witnesses were ex-
amined Monday afternoon it was de-
cided that the man was a fit subject
for the hospital. While in the city
prison he spent his time In singing
religious hymns.

COAL LANDS LEASED

Saiefn, May 1S,-The B. g. B. Fuel
and Coal Company has the past week
leased hundreds of acres of coal lands
between its present property on the
Main street road and the railroad
lines of the Y. & o. and Pennsylvania
on the Franklin road The compile
tion Of a mammoth project by the
company will, it Is said, entail an out
lay of one million dollars. 1t has
closed deal for the triangle of land
near the Franklin road crossing of the
Y. & O., this at one time being a pro-
posed site for the removal of the
Buckeye and also a manufacturing
site for Milwaukee company, which
at the time was promoted by DR.. Phil
lips and Attorney Coburn.
1t is said to be the intention of the
company to sink shaft on the Frank
lin road at a point between the Y. &c
o. and Ft. Wayne and then tunnel
back to the present shaft on McKin-
ley avenue. In addition to this, it is
the intention to build an electric rail-
road underground by which hundreds
of tons Of coal can be taken out daily
for shipment over the Y. & o. and Ft
Wayne. This will be distance OF
nearly two miles and it is said to be
the. solution of the problem which the
company has been up against since
the shaft was first sunk. There have
been schemes as to the way the coaj
could be gotten to the railroad, the
last one being to use the local electric
line. BY the latest move this idea
seems to have been given up.
In case this troject is completed II
will give employment to hundreds o.
men and be a big thing for the city
and company as well. 1t will alsC
probably mean the location of little
village at the Franklin road and Sells
Crossing. Work on the immense rro
ject will, it is said, start in the neal
future.

LIGHTING
Bid Accepted by Board
Of Public Service.
Nothing Doing
ABOUT THE GAS LAMPS

The first meeting OF the members
of the board of service for a week
took place Monday morning, Messrs.
Lauffer and st. Clair having return
ed from their trip to Washington,
where they went with Superintendent
Ohliger to attend a water works con-
vention. They took up the lighting
proposition at noon, when bid was
received from the Canton Electric
company for furnishing all-night elec-
trio lights in the city, instead of
many that were lighted only upon
what is known as a moonlight sched-
ule.
There are GAG Of these moonlight
schedule lights and the company made
proposition to allow them to illum-
mate all night and every night for
tt , sum of $45975 in addition to the
amount that they have been paid, pro-
viding that the contract will begin
July 1, 1908, and v i'll continue until
| April 16, 1915. It was also stipulat-
ed in their bid that the arc lights
| would be lighted on an all-night
schedule during the month of June
entirely free of cost to the city. A
resolution was adopted instructing the
Jerk of the board to communicate
with City Solicitor Blake and have
him draw up a contract in accordance
with the proposition made by the
electric company. There was but one
bid in for electric lighting in the
city, the present company being with
out opposition. Nothing was done in
regard to the lighting of the remain
der of the city, which is covered by a
system of gas and gasoline lights, al
though the present contract expired
last April. For the present the old
contract is still in force, but men,
bers of the board say that the ques-
ton will come before them at some
other time.
The board has decided to ask the
council for an appropriation of $500
for the purpose of enlarging the bear
enclosure in the zoo at Nimisila park,
as Park Superintendent Brooks thinks
the present pen is entirely too small
for the keeping of the family Of Mr..
and Mrs Bruin, which now consists
of six members. He desires to have
the mother and father removed from
their offspring, as at times the male
bear takes notion that his family
is too large and attempts to kill the
cubs.
Superintendent Ohliger will take up
the matter of looking after the
trenches that are filled with stagnant
water in the old Union dam property.
complained of at recent meeting OF
the board of health.
The mid-month's bill of the different
departments under the control of the
board were allowed, as were the sal
aries of the many employees.

Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

Our own troubles always seem more Sc

unable to eat even a light breakfast, for
years, without severe distress, he has trou-

1t is small wonder he likes to tell of food
which cleared away the troubles.

the good Grape-Nuts has done for me-"
writes a N. H. man. For many years was
unable to eat even a light breakfast without
great suffering.

with a terrible attack Of colo and vomiting.
This would be followed by headache and
misery that would sometimes last a week or

"SinCe l began to eat Grape-Nuts l have
been free from the old troubles. | usually
eat Grape-Nuts food one or more times a
day, taking it at the beginning of the meal.

SAVES THREE LIVES

Akron, May 1S.-Clarence Mclean
and Attorney Roy Wilson of Massil-
Ion, saved three men from drowning
in Turkeyfoot lake Sunday efternoon
in the midst of the storm by prompt
action with their power boat. A Grip
pie who was in the overturned boat
was kept up by his wooden leg until
help arrived.
The three fishermen were from Mas.
sillon. Their rescuers did not know
them except that one was named
Ewald and another Heck. They hired
a boat at Keplers landing and were
some distance from the shore when
the terrific storm that swept over
the county Sunday afternoon struck
the lake. The waves were several
feet high and the boat was swamped
and the occupants turned into the
water. All three could swim a little
and struck out for shore.
Wilson and Mclean were the only
other persons on the water and we're
a quarter of mile away when they
heard the cries Of the three men
Throwing on the full power Of their
motor they fought the waves until
they reached the scene of the upset
Two of the swimmers were on the
point of exhaustion when they were
drawn into the launch. The cripple
had made his way half of the distance
to the shore and had gone under
His body was kept up by the buoy
ancy Of his wooden leg which pre-
vented him from sinking. He wa!
pulled into the motor boat and re
vived after reaching shore. All three
men recovered and were able to gt
home in their wagon.
