Important claims Settled.


Two most important claims against
the Cleveland Brick company we're
settled by Probate Judge Bow, who is
acting in capacity as trustee for the
company. A check amounting to $36,-

Canton State bank and one for $3342.42

the amount the banks were entitled to
on preferred claims of mortgage bonds
which were issued within one year
of the time the company went into
bankruptcy.
"The brick company has not made
any dividend to it's general creditors,
because we have been expecting daily
the settlement of few accounts COM
ing from other companies in which
William l.. Davis was interested" !"
said Receiver Bow. when l receive
dividends from these companies the
brick company will have dividend
This can be expected within the next

MAY CLOSE ON SATURDAY.

1t is probable that the court house
may be closed next Saturday, the date
on which all the officials of Stark
county will hold their first annual pic
mic at Meyers lake. The question of
closing will be discussed at the meet
ing of the board of county commits
sioners which will be held this morn
ing. Only half day will be lost by
reason that it is always closed on Sat
urday afternoons anyway. 81 am in
favor of shutting the building for the
day." said Commissioner Mcdonald,
of Alliance, Thursday morning. II do
not see how such a resolution would
work any hardship upon people of the
county who have business to trans
act in the structure. I do not know,
however, what opinions are held by
Commissioners Hay and Burnheimer."

HIGHLAND PARK

Highland Park, Aug. 23.-The ten
days encampment for the worship of
God came to a close on Sunday night,
amidst scenes Of great interest and
profit. All the services of the past
ten days have been leading up to this
last Sabbath as a climax. and a great
amount of spiritual power was mani
fest as a result. An immense throng
of people was present, and thousands
were touched by the gospel messages.
From early morning to late at night
the grove resounded with song and
praise. The preaching of Rev. w. H.
Fouke in the morning and afternoon
was a means of great power upon his
hearers. Both messages were eloquent
and full of spiritual fervor. This man
of God has again won his way into the
hearts of the attendants of the High
land Park meeting.
The morning prayer service was led
by Rev. H. d. ShultZ, of Cleveland. 1t
was fitting beginning for the day. At
8 a. M, Rev. j. A. Grimm conducted
service of prayer and song and tes-
timony. The Sunday school, Rev, P.
E. Smoke, superintendent, was very
interesting, more than thousand peo-
pie being present. At $50 Rev. Will
liam Davis conducted Young Peoples
service on the hillside, and in the
evening Rev. M. NJ. RAIDER, of Canton,
preached the closing sermon. A fellow
ship meeting followed, and farewells
were said until next August. Thus
came the close of the meeting.
The annual meeting of the Board of
Directors was held on Saturday, and
elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, Rev. ]. A. Grimm, of FTeeburg;
vice president, Rev. NJ. NJ. RAIDER, of
Canton; secretary, Rev. w. S. Harp
ster, of Columbus; treasurer, Rev. G..
w. Brown, of Fairhope.

TRIP AMONG THE
ROCKY WONDERS

Cheyenne Canon, Col, Aug IL
After enjoying the trip to the prairles
it is no unwelcome diversion to rest
among the Rocky wonders, climb to
dizzy heights, drink the panacea of re-
storing health amid the regions OF
perpetual snow, and write your postal
card out in a snow storm in August,
as we did on Mt. Mcclellan. Where
now sit the inspired artist has en-
deayored to explain the majesty of
the rocks, laugh of the rill, and
beauty of the falls, and yet pen or
brush have failed so utterly to give
any idea of what sights can be seen;
that my meager effort shall lend its
energy to induce others to come and
see the undescribable Rocky scenery.
This morning we ride on a tally-ho,
run, walk, or climb, singing such
couplets as Holy, Holy, Lord God
Almighty" Rocks and Rills and All
Creation Praise Gods Name Forever
More" my Country" etc. And now
rest at Brinn's Inn, and in less
majestic regions than Inspiration
Point or Seven Falls-we laugh when
our hand moves and writes.
At Helen Hunt Falls,
God help me to think some thought
And say some word sublime
For in this stream and rocks galore
Thy handiwork doth shine.
Tis great to sit at Helen Hunt"
The Falls all men adore,
And feel its spray fall on your face
Soft as a mothers lore.
How sweet to think our souls may
rove,
Besides Gods crystal streams,
And sit down beside the Rock
Thar rich in mercy CLEANS.
God we would write some useful line,
Some spray of heavens lore
To fall from hearts in smiles
On those who Chamber near our shore.
But already "All aboard" greets our
ears, and as we pity the hores. we
race with a Kansas attorney across
to the divide on foot, where at an
elevation of over 5000 feet, We rest
at Mrs. Captain Jack Wards cabin,
gold prospector-just think how a
woman can live and be perfectly
happy if she chooses-but we did
not win the race with the Kansas at
torney. Perhaps this was due to his
having learned to scheme while run,
ming for Congress, for by looking
ahead, Kansas cut through a gulch
and gained one-fourth of a mile on
Ohio. so white defeated, we sang out
Here's to Kansas, she won the race,
though we very much wish to be in
her place. The mountains are beau,
tiful with flowers at this season. Elk
cursion trains are run up the Colorado
Midland for gathering them, and who
can afford to miss the sight and fra,
GRANGE of the armfulls of Columbine
and other mountain flowers brought
by the tourists on their return.
Expenses are not necessarily high
We have a fine room at 'Manalean at
moderate rate and more than we
can eat at 25c meal.
Here the wealthy and weary alike
forget their burdens whit they drink
from soda and iron fountains and
natures bower while they discuss the
greatness of their Maker.
At the close of day we are sad
only in this-all lovers of nature in
our dear home city have not been
with us in our rambles.
From one who heartily believes
that love of country and duty to kin
compels you to travel or commit a
sin. MRS. A. ]. DE HoFF.
