DISTRESSING
Case Of InfantiIe Paralysis
At COShOCtOn

The most agonizing case of infan-
tile paralysis to have been reported to
local physicians up to the present time
Is that of the seven-yea !-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Clarke,
who recently came to Coshocton from
Sebring, Ohio. The child is absolute
ly unable to move herself; limbs, body
and head are all paralyzed and for
two days she lost the power of speech.
The fact that she has regained the
use of her vocal organs Is the only
encouraging symptoms the physicians
have to. build upon.
The situation Is particularly dis
tressing owing to the fact that the
parents, being new residents of Gosh
octon, have very few acquaintances
here and wyere 1t not for the kindness
Of the relatives with whom they are
staying they would be absolutely
alone In their sorrow.-Coshocton

FRATERNITY
Men OF COShOCtOn To Battle
AGAINST MI. Vernon Men

The Phi Sigma Chi fraternity foot
ball team which will meet the Mt.
Vernon chapter of the fraternity on
the local gridiron Thanksgiving morn
ing, held its first practice on the high
school campus Monday night and
from the way they jumped into the
work there are prospects of a good
team. Practice will be held from now
on nearly every evening and a few
scrimmages may probably be played
with the high school team some even
ing.
The fraternity line contains some
old high school football stars and
some who have played on college elev-
ems. While it has been years since
these men have played they are equal
to the game and are anxious for con-
test. Lee Williams, who Is the cap

Where He Was Employed As
Night Electrician
In The Plant Of The Good.
rich Rubber Co.
The Remains To Be Brought
To MI. Vernon

Milton Buxton Of Mt. Vernon, o.,
son Of James Buxton Of Newark; for
nerIy Of this city, was instantly killed
about o'clock Tuesday evening at
the plant Of the Goodrich Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio. The particu-
lars of the accident are lacking but
Buxton fell from the top of step-Iad-
der and broke his neck, which caused
instant death.
Buxton had been employed as night
electrician for the Goodrich company
for three months past and went to
work in the evenings at o'clock.
Shortly after that hour Tuesday ev-
ening he mounted a step-ladder and
was in the act of adjusting some
electrical wires when he received a
shock and was thrown from the top
of the ladder alighting on his head
and shoulders on a cement floor. His
neck was broken and physicians stat
ed that death came instantly.
The deceased was % years of age
and learned his trade as electrician
at the c. & G. Cooper works in this
city. He was employed by several
electrical companies in Mt. Vernon
and at the time of his going to
Akron he was employed by Mr.. Mac
F. Stephens.
A pathetic incident In connection
with his untimely death was the fact
that the young man was engaged to
Miss Clara Ardner of Mt. Vernon and
the wedding ceremony was to have
been performed in this city on
Thanksgiving day. Miss Ardner left
at 2:20 Wednesday morning for Ak
ron and will accompany the remains
to Mt. Vernon.
The body will arrive in this city at
$40 this evening over the c., A. &c C..
railroad. Funeral announcement later.

There Is more catarrh In this sec

few years was supposed to be incur

tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced 1t incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

the only constitutional cure on the

SHEEP
Being Killed By Dogs South
Of The City

a great deal Of trouble is being ex.
perienced. by the farmers residing Just
south of Mt. Vernon, especially those
who own sheep. For the past several
mornings, dead sheep have been
found on various farms by the farm
ers, who seem to be entirely unable
to stop the loss, which is undoubtedly
caused by dogs that have mania for
killing sheep. On Monday night Mr..
Fred Martin, who resides a short dis
tance from the city on the Brandon
road, suffered the greatest loss yet re-
ported. Early in the morning. he
went out to the field where the sheep
were kept, to feed them when he
found that tn dogs had killed nine of
his choice lambs and wounded three
more. No trace Of dogs was found,
but strict watch will be kept and IL
they are apprehended in their work Of
destruction, immediate action will
probably be brought against their
owners.

LONGWORTH CALLS ON
ROOSEVELT AS TAFT'S ENVOY
tContinued from rage one.)

must be dropped from participation
in politics OF the administration at the
price of peace Is considered prepos-
ferrous. Roosevelt Ia asking the i'm
possible, they say. The vice-president
OF the United States cannot be dis
missed with a nod nor ordered by
command. Moreover such a move they
say would put the administration In
the view OF backing down to Roose-
welt. The belief grows among keen
political observers that Col. Roose-
welt Is purposely asking the impossi-
bic. expecting the obvious refusal to
capitulate and making plans to util-
lie this disregard of his views as an
excuse to come out In the open and
oppose the administration.
Even IL the colonel has thought
heretofore that my policies" were
not being carried out. that Taft was
q mistake, and that conservation was
going backward instead of forward, 1t
Is pointed out that up to date the
contributing editor has not had an op-
portunity to force an issue. He Ia
credited with enough political sa-
gacity not to delve backward several
months to the tariff or to Ballinger
to seek the turning point but to seize
on a current issue as a pretext.
What happened at the recent meet
ing of the New York state Republican
committee gave him that opportunity.
Beverly anxiously awaits the coming
of Lloyd G. Griscom, chairman of the
Republican county committee, who is
credited with the role of peace ennis
sary. Representative Longworth,
who has suddenly sprung into the
limelight as one of the steersmen of
the political destinies of the Taft ad-
ministration, Is expected back soon
from Oyster Bay with fresh news as
to the attitude of his distinguished
father-in-law.
Until the reports of these two OBJ
servers are in there will be nothing
but deep thinking done at Beverly
Friends OF the president are urging
