Every person must climb
life's ladder. ,No matter who
r what they are or where they
ome from, the ladder is placed
efore them to climb, borne
prun up its rounds actively and
with apparent ease; others are
(slow but sure; others fall when
ihalf way up: others reach all
but the lal'. han fall.
Some of our people deserve
the success they have attained;
they are entitled to a resting
'kplace on the top round of life's
ladder; their pluck, tact and
usiness energy has placed
them there, a position they are
justly entitled to hold.
There are probably few busi
ness men in this part of the
state in the same line of trade,
who by dint of honesty and
vears - of steady earnest toil,
inave reached as lofty a position
. on the ladder of fame as Messrs.
- Saur & Balsley, proprietors of
llfthe far famed Drug, Book and
Wall Paper House under their
control. Their business career
in Napoleon dates back over a
) quarter of century, during
?t which period they have con-
stantly studied the wants of the
people in this locality and their
efforts have been duly appre
ciated.
The hrm has had an unpre
cedented holiday trade, but
many articles, both useful and
nmamentfll is still on exhibition
I which they are offering at ex-
tremeiy tow ngures, in oraer
to make room for their usual
spring stock. It will repay
any one to take advantage- of
the goods and prices now rang
ing at this house. V
In the way of wall and ceil-
ing papers, paints, ous, var
nishes, brushes, etc., a large
and varied stock is always shown

than can be had m the great

He Waa Surprised.
Monday was the 87th anniversary of Rich
ard Brans, one of Napoleon's leading mer
chants. His wife 4 'Ar arranged a little
surprise which oolmini about 7 o'clock p.
m., in over fifty friends and relatives lying in
wait for Mr. Brans on his return from busi
ness. The surprise was complete and a
thoroughly enjoyable evening followed. A
number of tasteful and ornamental presents
were made.
Death of Mrs. Dackenban. t
The wife of township trustee Henry
Dackenhaus, died at her home on Monday
morning last, in the 60th year of her age. She
had been a sufferer for some time with can
oer of the stomach, from the effects of which
she died. The funeral took place on Satur
day, from the Hanover settlement church,
Rev. Damman officiating, her remains being
followed to their last resting place by a large
ooncouree of neighbors and friends.
He waa Fastidious.
Ira Hayes of McClure gave way to his
charitable disposition Wednesday of last
week and paid the Johnson House a day's
board for one Geo. Albright a wandering
man of a retired nature. He boarded the al
lotted 4ime out and returned his earnest
thanks by stealing Hayes' Sunday pants and
vest and at onoe prepared to depart. He was
ar.-ested and brought before Squire Tressler
who fined him $10 and costs amounting to
$19.20 The thief said "no" and the sentence
was changed to 30 days of hard labor in the
work house at Toledo, whither he was taken
Thursday morning.
Preparing for Spring.
Only about two more weeks in which to
get ready for spring, is the reason why Saur
& Balsley have placed so many of their goods
on the special sale list. This means that
they will be sold at largely reduced prices, in
order to make the necessary room for their
spring stock, much of which has already
been purohased. Those who desire anything
in the book and stationery line, each as blank
books, desk pads, paper, envelopes or any of
the miscellaneous books now held in stock,
will find that they can boy the same at this
house at less prioes than those which have
ever ruled before. They also have a fine
lot of cloth and paper window shades On
hand which they bought very low and which
they are bound to close out within the next
two or three weeks. If low pribes will be
any object to close buyers, here certainly is a
chance to save money.
A Change in the Wabash Agency.
It is with muoh regret that the people of
Napoleon surrender the service of Edward
E. Carnes as station agent here. Although
his time among us was very short there has
been no agent since the road has been in ex
istenoe who has more thoroughly ingratiated
himself with all classes as has Mr. 0. His
resignation was handed in over two weeks ago
on account of the office not being sufficiently
remunerative for one of his experience and
ability. Monday the traveling auditor checked
in the new man and Wednesday Mr. Eearns
and bis estimable family departed for St,
Louis where he has several positions tendered
him. After disposing of real estate interests
in southern Missouri he will.ln all probability,
resume work ior bis old road, the Missouri
and Pacific. H. F. Baohelor of Whitehouse
is the new agent and that he proves as offa
ble and competent as his predecessor is all
that can be asked. .

A HEINOUS CRIME ! -
Daniel Huffman Accuses
His Wife of Poison
ing His Son.
A D1VCRCB SUIT THAT WILti IN
ALIj PROBABILITY
BRING) TO LIGHT A DASTARDLY
MURDER.
In the last term of Henry County Common
Pleas Court a petition was filed by Sarah
Huffman for divorce and alimony from htr
husband, Daniel Hoffman of Pleasant town
ship. In her petition she alleges that Daniel
Huffman has been guilty of extreme oraelty
and gross neglect; that he has beaten her,
threatened to break her neck and violent'y
kicked her and her children from the house
on a dark and rainy night; that he falsley
and maliciously accused her of poisoning his
16 year old son, who died last August; that
she has household goods aggregating the
value of $190, which came to her by her first
husband and which the defendant has in his
possession; that the defendant has personal
property in implements, etc, amounting to
$2,000 and real estate valued at $6,000; and
that, considering the above, she asks and
prays alimony for the support of herself and
children. Her attorneys are Hill & Hubbard
of Defiance.
In the defendant's answer he denies all the
allegations set forth in her petition save that
he aooused her of poisoning his 16-year old
son, Harris it, Cameron of Defiance are his
attorneys.
The case was continued until next term of
oourt and the lawyers agreed upon $50 per
month temporary alimony for the support of
herself and ohildren. This, Huffman was dis
satisfied with, and in order to avoid the pay
ment of the same and also vindicate himself
for his accusations relative to his son's death,
resolved to sift the matter to the bottom.
He came to Napoleon and employed Dr.
Shoemaker, who had the body exhumed and
the stomach removed. It was sent to Ann
Arbor and submitted to a chemical analysis
by experts, who reported that
SIX kVO ONE HALF O BAINS OF 1B8ENIO
were found in this organ, a muoh less
amount of which is sufficient to cause death.
The neighbors have for some time suspio
ioned foul play. Directly after the son's de
mise his step-mother was noticed to aot very
queerly, which, in connection with the pel
culiar death suffered by the deoeased, was
sufficient to at onoe arouse suspicions. The
belief that the step-mother maliciously and
wilfully poisoned the son has been steadily
gaining credence, and letters have been re
ceived from neighbors urging that the case
be investigated. It is reported that the wo
man o. hearing that an investigation was in
progress, hastily departed to parts unknown
The house has been searched and nothing
found but a yellowish powder, whioh upon
being given to a dog resulted in the instant
death of the brute. It was brought to Dr.
Shoemaker, who upon examination and ana
lysis, found no poisonous ingredients.
The neighbors, and those who are acquaint
ed with Mrs. Huffman are eager to have her
apprehended, and claim that she can not un
dergo a cross examination without criminat
ing herself. .
The only way the arsenio oould find its way
in the stomach .otherwise than alleged by Mr.
Huffman, is by embalming the body,- and
this, it it is claimed, had not been done.
The case will be rapidly pushed and justioe
meted out to the guilty or guilty ones.
