' It i8 your good luck to be situated conveniently near such a larga anl choice stock of goods as can be found at Saur & Balsleys; to have at your command a generous and carefully selected assort ment lacking m none of its details and representing the . most advanced ideas in quali ty. This fact runs through their mammo th stock, which is . perhaps the largest to be found in northwestern Ohio. Reasoning people say, who " have investigated the subject, who have traded here, there and everywhere, who know by experience just what they are , talking about, say that Saur & Balsley beats all their, com petitors as to quality, variety and prices of goods. 'Having been encouraged by a grand success in business in Henry county for the past quarter of a century and over, Saur & Balsley have exerted i i it tnemseives more man ever this season "to please their large trade, and especially those looking up goods for the holidays.

Foster's last bulletin gave forecasts of tha storm waves to cross the con tinent from January 81st to Febru ary 4th, and February 6th to 10th. - He predicts a third disturbance of February will reach the Pacific coast about the 11th, cross the went of the Rockies country by close of the 12th, great central valleys 13th to loth, eastern states 16th. The warm wave, he says will cross the west of the Rockies country about the 11th, the great central val leys 13th, eastern states 15th. The cool wave will cross the west of the Rockies country about the 14th, great central valleys 10th, eastern states 18th.' Foster nredicts that the center of this storm will take a more southern route than usual and the storm will be of very considerable force in the eastern states about the 10th, while the cool wave, will about the same time, be of unusual force in the great central valleys, particularly in the upper Mississippi and Missouri val leys. Extensive snows will fall in northern portion of the United States. The storms of the middle part of February will be unusually severe and cause yery unpleasant weather, especially in the northern states. ' Weather will be too cold for early gardening along the gulf and south Atlantic states or tne soutnern states. OF INTEREST TO VETERANS. There is aPossibility of no Grand Encampment This Year. It is anions the probabilities that there will be no national encamp ment of the Q. A. R. this year, says the State Journal. The Western passenger association has finally de termined not to grant the desired time extension on reduced rate tick ets to St. Paul, the place selected by the Louisville encampment last September, and Grand Commander Ivan N. Walker is on record as say ing that on acoount of such refusal the council or administration will, se lect some other city. Being informed that none of the roads, east or west would allow the privilege asked for. Commander Walker declared that in that event, there would be no nation al encampment in '96. This is very unfortunate and it is hoped the mat ter will be adjusted satisfactory. Af ter St. Paul the city of Buffalo ap pears to have the call, provided sat factory arrangements ,as to rates, time, etc, are made. Symptoms of Catarrh. Pain in the head, obstruction of the nose, frequent discharge of mucus from the nose, mucus often falling into the throat, nausea and vomiting upon rising in the morning, raising particles of offensive matter from the throat, deafness ringing in the ears, offensive breath, the sense of smell impaired and a wretched feeling: gen erally about the head and throat, sometimes only one or two of these symptoms will be present, but their presence indicates Catarrh. By a timely use of Century Catarrh Cure you can be premanently cured. For sale by Saur & Balsley. . lm He Enjoyed Seeing Them Burn. An editor who died of starvation after making Dr. Tanner ashamed of himself, was being escorted to heaven by an angel who had been sent for that purpose. "May I look at the other place be fore we ascend to enternal happi ness?" "Easily," said the Angel. So they went down below and skirmished around, taking in the sights. The angel lost track of the editor, and went around hades to hunt him up. He was found sitting by a f urance fanning himself and gazing with rapture upon a lot of people In the fire. There was a sign on the furance which read: "Delin quent Subscribers." "Come," said the angel, "We must be going." "You go on," said the editor, "I'm not coming. This is Heaven anough for me." Selected. A great many gas wells of the In diana gas field have ohanged the character of their product and are producing an abundance of oil. This would go to prove the theory which has been held by some prominent prospectors throughout the country for a number of years, which has been based upon the claim wherever gas was found, oil could also, and would eventually be produoed. The theory held by the believers in the close connection of oil and gas is that the lighter or more volatile sub stantia found at the top passes off first, and then the oil comes later. After this salt water is found, which was deposited beneath the oil and gas. ; . r SIMMONSX VREGUIATOR GOOD FOR EVERYBODY ; Almost everybody takes soma laxative medicine to cleanse the system and keep the blood pure.,?

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE From the Imprisonment of a Folding Bed The Experience of Two Ladies at Fostoria. (From Foetorla Times.) Two ladies living on Potter street this morning had an experience with a folding bed that they will remem ber to the ends of their lives, and which will suffice to turn them against any kind of mechanical sleep ing arrangements in tne iuture. Mrs. M. H. Bohreer and Mrs. M. A. Eshelman are . the two ladies to whom reference is made, and who are today congratulating themselves on a narrow escape from a terrible death. Mr. Bohreer left yesterday for Ala bama, a regular business trip of his, and Mrs. Eshelman who makes her home with the Bohreer's occupied the folding bed with Mrs. Bohreer at the hour for retiring. Both soon fell asleep, and both were awakened seemingly a short time afterwards, bv a heavv weieht pressing heavily against them. Mrs. Bohreer took in the awful situation, and by violent efforts managed to squeeze to the foot of the bed. The lock in tnis nad snruncr also and she almost gave up all hopes of life, for already the air was most painiui to tne lungs. In desperation she began to' kick upon the foot board with all her strength and when she was just ready to leave off, out of exhaustion the .lock suddenly yielded, and she was able to crawl out through the aperture thus left at the foot of the bed. Regaining ner lost strengtn in the fresh air, she raised the heavy piece of furniture, and after some work rescued Mrs. Eshelman who was by this time almost suffocated but soon revived and set out for a doctor to attend Mrs, Bohreer, who, after the exoitement showed signs of injuries. A doctor called and found the lady to have sustained several sprains, in her efforts to free herself, but outside of these was unhurt and would re cover, ' - WONT GO.

Concern ing the Pope's edict against secret societies, tion. martin r orau, ex Congressman, author of "The Other Hide," a reply to ine isreaa win ners," and a member of the Elks and Odd Fellows, Baid to-day; "Practi cally no attention will be given the utterance to the Catholic church. It is merely a bluff, and the churoh won't act if its members refuse to comply. A loophole has also been left, in the form of a question of conscience on which I and others will not yield." To prove the sincerity of the Re publican party for the cause of tem perance, the Democrats in the gen eral Assembly should refrain from voting upon the Haskill or Harris bill. The Republicans have a constitu tional majority in the legislature and can pass or reject any bill and have plenty votes to spare. . The Demo crats have always acoused the Re publicans of being hypocrites, and now we have an opportunity to put them on record and let us do- so.

Not to this day has the boundary line been fully established. There is a strip of land between Lucas county, Ohio, and Monroe county, Michigan, over which neither state has had con trol. The senate adopted Mr. Vogt's resolution providing for the appoint ment of three commissioners by the governor to act with a like commis sion for Michigan to peacefully settle this question.
