Lena Rivers Pleases.

One of the best emotional plays
that has thus far been presented on
the local stage this season was the
presentation of Mary j. Holmes pop
ular novel LENA Rivers" by the Bur
ton Nixon company Thursday even
ing at the New Grand. An audience
which packed the house was drawn
nv the recommendations of the play
sent from other towns
where it had been presented. The
feme line element was the more con-
spicious in the audience and the play
proved to be the more popular with
this part of the audience.
The piece was not a conventional
melodrama, the usual william and
startling stage situations being
absent.
1t is a simple tale of love under
difficulties, against the strien oppos-
ition of the young mans mother, who
| thinks that the girl of her sons
t choice is unfit to become a member
of her family. The girl, Lena Rivers
y is, clears the stain upon her name,
e unaided. The plot is very cleverly
drawn and balanced.
The play is both simple and sad, ao
solutely devoid of the ranting
earsplittlug scenes so common in tn
r, popular price show. Miss Ruth kei

Justice Bothwell's court, returned
from Youngstown Wednesday morn
ing, having in charge John BAGS and
John Ruse, two Hungarians, who were
charged with forgery. These men
were former residents of Canton and
just before their departure it is al
legged that they raised two checks that
had been cashed at Andrew Heitz's
boarding house, corner of Lake street
and Belden avenue. 1t is said that
these checks originally called for
$1.65, but when they were cashed they
called for $40. The foreigners asked
that the hearing in their cases be post
poned for a week until they have
time to consult with some of their
friends. This was agreed to by the
justice AMI they were sent to Jail.
Justice Boutwell, has also received
from the state bureau of medical ex-
aminers an affidavit fer the arrest of

ing medicine without a license. He

Theodore Roosevelt"
Shortly after receiving the news,
President Roosevelt issued the follow
ing proclamation:
by the President OF the United

"The White House, June "a, 1908.
ITO the people of the United States;
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States from 1885 to 1889 and
again from 1893 to 1897, died at $40
O'Clock this morning at his home in
Princeton, N. ]. In his death the ma
ton has been deprived of one of its
greatest citizens. By profession law
yer, his chief services to his country
were rendered during his long, varied
and honorable career in public life.
"As mayor of his city, as governor
of his state and twice as president he
showed signal powers as an admins
traitor, coupled with entire devotion to
the country's good and courage that
uuailed before no hostility when once
he was convinced where his duty lay.

new PHILADELPHIAN
On Death Bed Confesses to Shooting
Sweetheart and Turning Re-
Volver on Self.

New Philadelphia, June 24-Charles
Spach, 4S, confessed on his deathbed,
police state, that he killed airline
Knisely, 10, and fired the shot which
proved fatal to himself, last Friday
night Spach died Tuesday at p. M,
in Union hospital
Jealousy is the motive the authori-
ties ascribe for the double tragedy.
Spach, who had wife and grown son,
had loved the girl for months. He
took her for buggy ride Friday night.
Boys found the girl dead in the buggy
and Spach mortally wounded nearby.
Airline Knisely's body was exhumed
by order of the sheriff and chief Of
police Tuesday afternoon, and Drs.
Henderson, and Knisely held an au-
toPsy. They found nothing to change
the police theory that Spach murder
ed her.
