HIDDEN COLD
Said to Have Been Found
in Ruins Of Log Hut
NEAR NORTH INDUSTRY

A rumor reached this city yester-
day afternoon that while tearing out
the partitions in a log house on the
farm occupied by man named Wea-
yer, three miles west of North Indus
try, $4,000 in gold had been found
secreted in the interstices in the walls
of what was once bed chamber.
The farm was the property of Chris
topher Krider for many years. Sew
eral years ago the Krider family mov-
ed to Canton and are now residents
of Navarro and Harrison avenue. Mrs.
Krider was seen yesterday afternoon
and stated that she had heard that
the money had been discovered but
that she had not investigated it.
"Mr. Krider had the habit of hid
ing money" she said. I'VE often
found money that he had hidden in
the barn. Several years ago he be-
came mentally deranged and he was
sent to the Massillon hospital. He
died soon after but he never told us
that he had any money hidden any
AIlOI was dppOlhlCu
guardian for Mr.. Krider and he sold
the farm to its present occupant. We
thought it strange that he never had
any gold. He would give us bills in
yariably. We know that some of his
customers paid him in gold for coal
that he would deliver to them. What
became of the gold we never knew"
Krider had some coal banks on the
farm and kept two teams going the
year around for the delivery of the
coal. He had considerable money all
the time and his wife and others who
knew him would not be surprised if
the rumor was true. The Weavers
could not be reached last night to as
certain the truth of the rumor, and
Mrs. Krider deferred until today the
investigation.

WHEELING
Road Makes Week End
Rates From Nearby
Towns to Canton
NEWS MADE REQUEST

Ever since the w. 4 L. e. made a
two day ticket to Cleveland of $100
on Saturday there has been consider
able of feeling engendered in this city
by merchants who feel that the low
fare would attract trade to Cleveland.
The Week End" rate of the Wheel
ing was not put on especially for
Canton but is good over their system
including low fare from Wheeling to
Cleveland and is primarily intended
to encourage travel on the lake steam
ers. The Morning News took up the
matter with the Wheeling company
and found that it was impractical to
have the two day rate withdrawn. The
complaint of the merchants of Canton
was brought to the attention of the
officials OF the company and a re-
quest was made that a low rate be
given by the road for similar excur-
sions from neighboring towns to Can
ton so that prospective buyers could
take advantage of the low rate of fare
from these points. Mr.. r. F. Kelley.
G. P. A., was in the city Thursday
and authorized the News to say that
in a few days public announcement
of the granting of these excursion
rates will be made. The probabilities
are that the excursions will be run
from Sherodsville to this city over
both the Carrollton and main roads,
also from Beach City to this city and
from Kent to this city. The rate of
fares from the various points will be
about one fare for the round trip, as
follows:
Sherodsville, round trip ....55 cents
Atwood, round trip .....,...55 cents
CaIrollton, round trip ......55 cents
Dell Roy, round trip ......55 cents
Oneida, round trip ..........35 cents
Minerva, round trip ........35 cents
Robertsville, round trip ....25 cents
Beach City, round trip ......40 cents
Kent, round trip .....,.,...55 cents
Navarro, round trip ...25 cents
Mogadore, round trip ...... 40 cents
Mishler, round trip .......35 cents
Hartville, round trip ........25 cents
This concession has been previously
asked for from the w. & L. E. but has
always been refused. In this case
they have acceeded to the request of
the News for the reason that they de-
sire to not do any injustice to the
merchants of the city of Canton. The
formal announcements of the new
rates will be made within a few days.

Acquire Bravery.

Il would like to let young mer
know" said an old soldier, that brav
cry, like almost any other attribute
can be acquired. / would like to lie
them know this, because there are som,
poor fellows who are brought into til,
world with a timid nature that cause:
them much suffering. While having
an admiration for brave men, they fee
that they are towards, and, accustom
ing themselves 10 this belief, they never
attempt to fight against their weak
ness. Do you know / really believ'
that most of the noted brave men o
the world have become brave simply
by Systematically overcoming coward
ice. Did not Lannes, Napoleon's mos
dashing general, say: The man wht
says he never felt fear Is a poltrOor
and a liar But while Lannes thus &C
knowledged to the sensation of fear, be
never allowed himself to show it, anc
that is the point. Moreover, by prac
tice such things become easy. Now,
IL there is any young man who is
coward and wishes to become brave, LET
me say this to him: Make up your
mind first of all that it is much prefer
able to suffer death than to be tram
pied upon or Inundated. From what
you have experienced you know the
disgust, the suffering, acute and degrad-
ing, that results when you back down
in an unmanly fashion. Say this, then,
| much prefer TO die than to expert
ence such feelings again. Impress 1t
upon your mind, and then, as test
to your spirit, force yourself to face
those things that you have been avoid
ing from fright. IL a man has been
overawing you, bluffing you, in plain
terms, lay for him deliberately, bluff
him back double, and If he wishes to
fight, throw yourself upon him with
a vim and punch hard; he cannot do
more than kill you; and. as you have
made up your mind that it is better to
die than TO submit to humiliation, your,
death, as it were, is a thing already
programmed. And, If you whip him,
the sensation is very agreeable and
frees you from any further fears OF
falling a victim to cowardice."-New

why it is the best of personal and family

1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
