Head Me Through.
In glancing at this column
you may ta ke it to be only an
other of Saur & Balsley's ad
vertisements and not give it a
fair reading. But you read
much stuff that is more worth
less than any of these adver
tisements, and whatever you
read is worth reading only to
the extent it may benefit you.
Now we have a few plain
statements to make in refer
ence to Saur & Balsley's Drug
and Book House and its con
tents, and if you will read it
through we know that it will
not be the last time and that
it will benefit you very much.
Now where in this section
of the state is there a town
the size of Napoleon which
contains a larger or better
drug and book store. Every
thinor in the drus and book
line is kept and can be pro
cured at all hours. We have
or can procure ,any book that
is nublished and at bottom
prices.
The wall paper department
we want to call especial at
tention to we have a complete
stock and the very best pat
terns. Window shades, pat
ent fixtures, etc., always on
hand and in endless variety
and quality.
Paints, oils and varnishes
we take an unusual interest in
We select only the best and can
positively recommend every
thing in this line to purchas
ers, and not only recommend
but guarantee it. Then there
are brushes ! We have any
kind you can call for and at
surprising prices.
In the line of medicines we
have only the best and most
reliable cough remedies, blood
purifiers, pills, tonics, cordials,
etc. Best perfumes always on
hand.
Now we do not wish to be
partial or to dictate to any
one, but when you are in
need of any goods do not stop
at one house, but get prices
from several houses and then
you will have an opportunity
of seeing who will sell you the
best goods for the least money,
and never pass Saur& Bals
ley's drug and book store
without calling in and seeing
what you can do there. Many
. a dollar has the farmer saved
in this way" and in trading at
this house. We do not say
this from experience alone,
but it is what hundreds of
others say.
. A complete line of school
books, copy books and all
school supplies are constantly
on hand, at the same low
prices as in other 'epartments.
Building Stone.
Those wishing building stone ran
find them at my yards, near the Wa

Scrap Between Prisoners.

A Medical Success.
The France Medical Institute, 38
and 40 West Gay street, Columbus,
Ohio, is open for the visits of pati
ents from nine in the morning until
nine in the eyening. Those patients
who live sufficiently near will gener
ally find a personal interview to their
advantage, either at the Institute or
with one of the physicians who
makes regular visits to your town.
The physicians in charge fully ap
preciate the feelings of their patients
and endeavor to give entire satis
faction to the large number con
stantly under treatment. That they
are successful in this respect is con
clusively proved by the letters on
file at the Institute from old patients
and giving names of friends to whom
they wish treatment sent. They do
not claim to work miracles, but do
claim in all honesty and candor to
Cure cases that are at all curable.
Let those given up by others call for
free consultation.
Dr. France by the request of many
friends and patient has decided to

To Offer a Reward of 100 Dollars

We hope they will do so at once.

Mr. Jones has paid his subscription
to January 1st, 1898. As the office is
convenient to all of these subscribers
we hope each and every one will call
in and at least pay up back subscrip
tion, and-a year in advance if pos si

A careful examination of the trees
that are struck by lightning shows
that over half of them are white pop

clude that the poplar has some
value as a conductor of lightning,
says a scientific exchange. This be

ed to plant these trees in tho vicinity
of their farm buildings. An addition
al suggestion is the attaching of light
ning rods to two or three of the tall
est of these trees. This will it is stat
ed, almost absolutely insure neigh
boring buildings against being struck
and destroyed by electrio storms.

Sbady Transaction.
We made mention last week of Dr.
Warner, a former resident of this
city, being here with a fast horse.J It;
has since been developed that the"
Dr., or as he was better known as
"The Missing Link," has evidently
been doing some shady transactions.
Tuesday he borrowed money from a
gentleman of this city and gave a
mortgage on the horse" for security.
After getting the money Warner
drove to Holgate and put the horse
inT freight car that had already
been hired and was awaiting him on
the side track. The loaner of tho
money caught onto the fact that the
Dr. was trying to get the horse out
of the state and sent Marshal Burns
after him. The Marshal discovered
his man just- as the train was nullincr
out of Holgate. Warner was brought
to Napoleon Tuesday evening and
piacea in the calaboos where he tea
at this writing awaiting further de
velopments. (From Fromont News.l
THAT CUT OFF.
Another Good Suggestion Re
garding an Old Tim Topic,
The Lake Shore Cut Off.
That "Lake Shore cut off," so fre
quently talked about, is a feasible
protect, and, sooner or later, the road
must be built.
At this stage of the proceedings.
the News ventures to sutrcest a
scheme, which, if carried out, would
help along the enterprise and greatly
benellt all concerned. The proposi
tion is briefly this: Let the '-cut off"
start in at Bryan, Ohio, and run east
through Napoleon and Bowling
Green to Fremont. From this point
the Lake Shore might operate or
parallel the Lake Erie & Western to
Sandusky. Such an arrangement
would give both the Northern and
the southern divisions of the Lake
Shore a direct and continuous outlet
over the proposed "out off," thereby
greatly reducing its mileage between
New York and Chicago.
This bit of new road would also
traverse some of the richest oil fields
and one of the finest farming" sections
of the state. In the short distance
covered, the road would intercept
four thriving county seats. The
larger portion of the district referred
to has no eastern and western outlet.
Local business, and plenty of it,
therefore, awaits the completion of
the "Lake Shore cut oil."
The absorption of the Lake Erid &
Western between Fremont and San
dusky ought to be an easy matter.
The Sandusky end of the line has al
ways been poor paying property, and
the stockholders, doubtless, would
