TEACHERS CONFISCATE
TOBACCO FROM PUPILS

1t is the opinion of Superintendent
of Schools Baxter that many local
tobacco dealers are guilty of selling
their goods to boys who have not yet
attained the proper age. Owing to
the difficulty always experienced in
proving such cases, the dealers find
themselves almost exempt from the
law, and the practice is carried on
almost at will
Superintendent Baxter has had a
wide experience with such cases, and
he states that during his career he
has found it practically useless to cru
sade against the unlawful sale of to-
bacco to children. Efforts TO prevent
such sale, is never met with by the
proper support on the part of the chill
dren's parents and consequently little
is ever accomplished. Many cases
where children have become addicted
to the tobacco habit are found in the
Canton schools, but what dealers sup
ply them the weed is difficult to ascer-
tain. All teachers in the Canton
schools have been instructed to con-
fiscate all tobacco found on the per-
sons of pupils.

ping that day, and business men do
not attend to much business. This
year the day intervening between
Christmas and Sunday will undoubt-
edly be an unusually dull one so far
as the transaction of any business is
concerned, and philanthropic en-
ployers are considering closing down
Thursday night and not reopening
until Monday morning, thus giving
employees what amounts to a triple
holiday.
The advantages of such arrange
ment are obvious. Many persons
would be enabled to make visits to
their friends-in some instances
they would be able to go back home"
for it must be understood that many
of the employees in city the size of
this have "homes" in the villages and
towns in the vicinity.
Little or nothing would be lost to
the commercial enterprises of a city
by such a holiday Indeed, the three
days, taken together, would be such
rest" to the help" that it would
be an economic advantage to permit
business to be entirely suspended on
Saturday. There are hundreds and
hundreds of people in this city who
appreciate such an arrangement, and
it would be well for the various or
CARNATIONS of employees and employ
ers to take the matter up at once.

mon necessaries of life. The defend
ant has several lots in this city and

MURDER
Narrowly Averted Because of Poor
Marksmanship-"Gig" Hahn
Has Close Call.

That another murder to blacken the
records of Canton's fair name was
not committed one night during the
past week, was due to one thing, and
this one thing alone-poor marksman-
ship. This same poor craftsmanship
Is also accountable for one thing,
more-that A. G. Hahn known among
the sporting fraternity by the cogno-
men Of Gig" Hahn, is still alive, not
to tell the story, but to think of what
a close call he had from passing in
his checks and having them cashed in
full. The trouble of course was over
game of cards and took place in a
room over 113 South Court street.
Hahn and number of others were
there playing-as is often the custom
and among the bunch was a knight
of the green cloth from Akron. A dis
pute arose, in which Hahn and the
Akron man were participants, and the
lie was passed from both sides Then,
there was a lively pass and in a mo-
ment more the Akron man whipped
out gun and blazed away, but Gig
lodged and the bullet went wide of
the mark. The game broke up in a
jiffy, while those in the room left,
some of them being in too much of a
hurry to take their coats with them.
The matter was kept very quiet and
the police were never informed of the
occurrence, but the story has leaked
out through another channel. The
name of the Akron man could not be
ascertained, but it is understood that
he is a person who comes to the city
frequently to pass away a few hours
with his friends.

CHRISTMAS EXERCISES
IN VARIOUS SCHOOLS

Thursday before Christmas will be
memorable in the history of the public
schools of Canton as every principal
and teacher is preparing an elaborate
program to take the place of the reg
ular recitations in the afternoon. Some
of the rooms have planned to render
short religious plays, others to have a
full program of short orations, recita-
tions, violin and vocal solos, and
where it is possible piano solos. The
climax will be reached in the High
school where it is planned to give a
program in room 25. The participants
in the program will be chosen from
the Juniors and Seniors. On the Sec
ond floor the Sophomore classes will
combine in room Z. On the first floor
as there is no room large enough to
seat all first year pupils the teachers
will combine the various English
classes.

EMMoNs CASE ON TRIAL.

One of the most interesting cases
which has come up at this term of
criminal court was the one COM
menced yesterday morning in court
room No. before Probate Judge Bow
and the jury. 1t is the case of the
state of Ohio vs. Attorney H. H. EN-
mons, of Alliance, who is charged
with assaulting his aged father-in-law,
Dr. j. c. Temple, of Alliance. The
court room was packed all afternoon
by the friends of both parties who lis
tened intentively to the testimony of
fered by the witnesses placed upon
the stand. A little romance is con-
nected with the trial. According to
the testimony offered by both sides
it seems that a controversy arose
through the young attorney paying at
tentions to the doctors daughter
which the physician resented. The
climax was reached when DIR. Temple
came upon the couple at a secret ap-
pointment AT that instant and with
out the least provocation it is alleged
that the defendant knocked the ply
sician down with a blunt instrument.
Within a short time afterwards the
defendant married Miss Temple The
case will probably end sometime to-
day. The state is represented by AS
sistant Prosecutor Abt while Attorney
Roach of Alliance, and Attorney Day
of Canton, are the counsel for the
defendant

ON FASHIONED REVIVAL
THE NEED Of TO-DAY

Evangelist George W. Willis lectur-
ed at the Crystal Park Methodist
Episcopal church last evening on
"Glimpses on Evangelism" He re-
viewed the work of the great Evan
gelists from Bible times to the pres
ent. Referring to himself he said:
Il felt called to my work as an even
gelist. When a little child l declared
was going to be a preacher. AS l
gatherer seaves of wheat at harvest
time it was symbolic of my work
in gathering souls in Gods harvest.
When a little boy l was captain Of
military company in command of
which l carried a tin sword: now l
WELD the Bible as my sword in de-
fense of right. My first sermon was
in district school house when l was
in my teens. The first revival in
which | was engaged as an evangelist
saw the conversion of young lady.
Little did l think then that she would
now be my wife. 1t has been my
privilege to work my way across the
continent from Cape Cod to the Gold
en- Gate. Many times I have been
asked: What is your field? and my
answer was America

old fashioned revival. We can't i'm

SUES FOR DEpoS1Ts

Two causes of action are assigned
in the suit begun in common pleas
court yesterday by Anna M. Temple
against the Peoples Bank company,
of Alliance, for the collection Of
$5O4.72 which sum the plaintiff alleges
the defendant company has in it's pos
session and refuses to pay her. The
plaintiff AYERS that on October 4,
1908, her pass book to the bank be-
came lost, stolen, mislaid or destroy
ed and that after a diligent search
failed to find same and that she
upon discovery of the loss immediate
ly notified the defendant company.
Further that on December 10, 1908,
the plaintiff demanded $504.72, being
the amount of deposits with the ac-
crued interest, and did then tender
defendant company a written receipt
for the above sum and in full of all
claims and the defendant then refused
to make payment.
