On Saturday December 81, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Shields,

ecticut river, shortly after Robert
Fulton's experiment. on the Hudson
river.
He cast his first vote in 1928 for
John G Adams, the Fedsraiist can
didate for president, the same year
that General jackson was elected, and
his last vote was cast for Pres. Taft,
and the writer went up to the house
and brought him to the polls in a
buggy driven by John Quien.
This grand old man had been a
member of the Baptist church for Is
years and never used liquor or tobacco.
He came to Canton in 1883 with MI.

George MSfii;iiett Wants La Toilette.
Under date Of December %, George
S. Mfllett Of Hudson, a prominent
real estate dealer In that city, writes
the LEADER inclosing his check for Is
to apply on subscription, and then
fires the following bit Of politics at
the editor:
"Say, Mr.. Editor! I notice you
still keep Col. Roosevelt's name up for
1912. Do you not think you had
better select some other name, some
one. for instance. who practices what
he breaches? You know Col. Reese
veil preached honesty and then
played duplieity with the prople be-
fore the November elections.
Why not hoist the name of . good
square man Senator Robert Ii Fol
lette for instance? He has never
flinched in the face of tremendous op-
position" Respectfully Yours,
GeoRaE s. MILLETT.
Friend Millett is voicing q senti-
ment that gained some strength after
Col. Rooserelt's mixup with tie New
York machine, and the editor OF. the
LEADER was hopeful that he would
keep away from that graft loaded
combination and let them fight It
out, but he was drawn into the fight
and all know he never runs from dam
ger. He made . splendid fight and
held the republican party in line In
the state outside OF the Wall street.
Tammany combination.
Col. Roosevelt said to Thomas
Thors0n and the writer coming up
from Sioux City to Sioux Falls in
September: 81 do not want to see the
party split, and I shall do al In my
power to prevent It."
This explains tho dilemma he faced
1t Saratoga. He couldn't retreat,
neither could he afford to split the
party wide open after driving the old
from power and placing the

that It Is the neatest, cleanest, best

this opinion is general among those
who have travelled all rel the coun-

It is a city OF beautiful homes, &C.

with a splendid system OF water works
and an up to date electric light sys.

towns In the state and cities on the

and Episcopal. The Lutheran church,
one of the finest in the country. cost

"A splendid Lutheran college is one
OF Canton S highly priced institutions
where young men and young women
are given a thorough intermediate

Ben olsen Wins Charming Bride.
On the last day Of the year 1910, at
Ii O'Clock a. m, d very happy home
wedding party was assembled at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. o. r. Isackson
in this city to witness the marriage of
their daughter Miss Mamie Jeanette
to Mr.. Benjamin Olson, one of the
prominent clothing dealers in this
city. The event was unusually inter
estiag as both are prominent il soci-
ETY. circles and have a host Of friends.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. P. Fl. Tetlie of the
Lutheran church in the presence of
immediate relatives Of the bride and
groom. The bride looked very sweet
in a shell pink gown and carried
cream roses, while the groom never
looked handsomer.
AT noon the wedding party entered
the dining DOR and partook OF a
sumptuous wedding dinner, and the
brides table was adorned with a
beautiful wedding bell, white ribbon
and sweet little cupids with a profus-
ion of flowers, consisting Of cream
roses, carnations, hyacinths and mar

blocks and shows both
strength and beauty. The gas engine
is a growing necessity like the auto,
and Mr.. knowlton will find customers
for every engine he builds, and the
LEADER predicts that he will be COM
PEELED to duplicate his facilities inside
Of five years. lie will repair as we'll

success In this line has been phenom-
email considering the facilities OF his
present plant. Mr.. Knowlton is a gas
engine enthusiast and his present
style Of engine shows a marked i'm
provement W many OF the best
engines made, in their simplicity of
construction and power. His new
plant will be completed early in the
summer and then we will e a new
Canton product that will command
admiration.
Canton has waited for several years
for a new opera house or place where
lovers of amusement a enjoy the
best dramatic talent ION the road"
Many propositions had been received
from outside parties who wanted
bonuses enough to build what they
proposed and then own the creation of
OF their money making venture, but
all failed to find men enough who
we're willing to take stock in such a
plan. Finally Judge Kennedy, one Of
the richest men in the county,
thought the time had come for Can
ton to get what she long had sought,
aid early last fall he began excavat-
Ing for a basement 50xlOO, and at first
the Judge told the sidewalk boomers
that he was seeking gold In the old
river bed OF the Sioux. Then the big
cellar with It's massive walls and
arches assumed form, but still the
Judge declined to say what he was
going to do. The dewalk boomers
and the public became interested and
finally he admitted that he was going
to erect a modern opera house with a
seating capacity, including balcony,
for $50 opera chairs. The roof was
completed before cold weather came,
and the inside will be completed early
In the summer. The walls contain
500, 900 brick and something like 1900
sacks of cement have been used, and
The cost will be over $50, 900 when COM
pleted.
. The stage roof is go feet high to &C
commodate the scenery, and the in
terror will be modern In every respect
including a fire proof curtain. The
new Canton opera house will be one
OF the best in the state and a monu-
ment to the patriotism and public
spirit Of the builder.
Canton has a first class creamery
owned by Heckmaster & Reynolds,
