AFEW FACTS ABOUT SH0SH0NE
Growth of City not a Myth but of
a Most Substantial Kind

Whether the boom that is striking
Shoshone is healthy one or not may
be determined by considering the busi-
ness that has been transacted in the
city for the past year.
During ordinary seasons the ave.
age town trade slackens in the sum
mer season from what it has maintained
during the fall, winter and spring
months, and Shoshone has been no ex-
ception to the rule in former years.
/ But the season of 1908 has been ex-
ceptional for this city and the summer
+ trade has been better than ever before
in her history.
The trade Of Shoshone has always
been good and her merchants and trades
men have always prospered, but the
! present season has broken all records
in every line of business.
While the merchants have prospered
other lines of business have also ben
eftted by the new order of things.
The banking business has increased
to such an extent that new bank is
opening its doors for share Of the
trade.
The two hotels are crowded and
new building of large proportions is
planned for the spring.
The livery barns have been crowded
and prosperity has hit them hard
The lumber trade is booming and
hardware business is on the increase.
New demands are constantly being
made on the Light and Water Com
pany and force of men is always at
work extending the water system and
installing new lighting facilities.
Since H. A. Brown entered the post
office the money order business has in
creased four times and stamp sales run
from twenty to twenty-five dollars
day.
Real estate is on the move and prices
are constantly raising, and building
operations can not keep pace with the
demand for more residences and busi-
ness houses.
Professional men are prospering and
all lines of labor are well employed at
good wages.
The encouraging features of the new
is the fact that it has only
just begun. and the future promises
more than has already appeared

is to be followed by the .Gooding tract

RECORD
For Continuous Cheering
For One Man Held by
Chicago Convention
OTHER BRAVE EFFORTS

New York, June 18.-The cheers for
Roosevelt Wednesday eclipsed all rec.
ords for such a demonstration, either
in a national convention or anywhere
else. The nearest approach to it was
the cheering that greeted the presen-
tation of James G. Blaine's name at
1he convention in Minneapolis in
1892, when his friends tried to pre-
vent the nomination of Benjamin Har-
Sison and almost saved the day for
Blaine by their cheering. They
Hheered for forty minutes. A little
nirl waving a flag started It.
Bryan was cheered for the same
sength Of time at his remarkable free
silver speech at the Chicago conven-
tion in 1896 after which he was NOM
mated.
Roosevelt was cheered for 80 min
utes at the convention in Philadelphia
In 1900 when it was thought he would
not accept the nomination for vice
president. There were long periods
Of cheer after each mention Of his
name on that occasion, but the 80
minute one was the longest. At the
Chicago convention four years ago
Roosevelt was cheered for 80 minutes.
William Mckinley was cheered for
S2 minutes at the st. Louis cOnven-
tion in 1896 while Mark Hanna's ap-
pearance at the same convention
brought cheers for "a minutes.
At the Democratic convention in
Kansas City, in 1904, John Sharp Will
tlams was cheered for p minutes
while "Pitchfork Ben" TiIlman was
aheered "a minutes.
Prior to that the most remarkable
demonstration was at the Democratic
convention In Chicago in 1902, when
Grover Cleveland was nominated in
spite Of the opposition of the New
York delegates. The cheering for him
was started by the Michigan delegates
headed by Don. NJ. Dickinson and al
though friends of the other candi-
dates broke in for their favorites the
Cleveland shouters drowned out every
thing else. 1t was 20 minutes before
The chairman could make himself
heard even in the front rows and five
minutes more before the cheering
ceased altogether.

MASSILLON NEWS
Special to the Morning News.

special to the Morning news.
Massillon, June 1S.-Another chap
ter was added today to the eventfu,
history of John Lach, Slavish wife
beater and we'll known police charac
ter. Arrested last night upon the
charge of raising a disturbance it de
veloped that the real cause of the
disturbance was that John hit his wife
with a hammer.
This morning the trial was held and
John was fined SIS and costs. 1t was
found that his wife had something tc
do with creating the disturbance, and
the mayor was very lenient with the
prisoner. Johns friends were able tc
raise funds to pay the fine and the
Hungarian was allowed to go free.
His wife fearing to live in the same
house with him, left the city on 0
late train this afternoon for Elyria
She mas a sister living in that city
and she will take up her abode with
her.
The career of John Lach since his
arrival in this country, about 10 years
ago, has been a checkered one. He
first stepped into the spot light soor
after his arrival in this country One
day neighbors telephoned police head
quarters that John wa smurdering his
wife. Patrolman Wissmar, who is
still a member of the police force
went to the home In Patagonia. Mrs
Lach had been beaten almost to 9
pulp by her brutal husband. After
wards she died, it is said of the in
iuries received in the beating. She left
small child, girl, who was taken
to the Fairmount home. 1t was fl
nally adopted by a rich family In
Stark county. John never even inquir
ed where they took his daughter.
Since then he has had three more
wives, who have either deserted him
or have died. He may have been mar
ried before in the old country.
Johns personal appearance IS one
of the most singular on the police rec
ords. He face has an expression oi
cunning and brutality that is scarce
ly human. His unkempt hair and un
shaven face add further to his ami
nal like appearance.
During the past few years John has
been able through his cunning to pur
chase a home on the north side and
in that community he is looked upon
with dread and awe, by friend and foe
alike.

THE 4 PAINTING SEASON. /.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. 4 The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil Those hest in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job,
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place pea-sized bit of White Lead
on piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the flame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. If It ia pure
White Lead, little drops Of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one OF them to lead. II they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
