IT HAS COME TO IT.
The age of progress which
started nearly a century ago,
instead of being dimmed at the
close of the rJth century as
was predicted, is still in evi
dence, and its wonderful and
awe-inspiring results are year.
Iy advancing onward and up
ward. New things that a few
years ago were of the unknown
are to-day accepted with scarce
a thought of their long rest in
the grave of time. More things
will come which are at present
"unheard of and unsun
We offer as illustrations, that
in a few years we will establish
a communication with the in
habitants of Mars; we will be
conducted safely and conveni
ently through space at such
a speed that, .the ... Atlantic
wean will be but a few hours
distant; hcrses will only be seen
in circus menageries and
zoological gardens as relics of
olden times.
With these marches of pro
stress the old drug store of
Saur & Balslev. the store of
the Golden Mortar, will keep
pace in the future as it has in
the past. Compare us now
with what we were lo years
ago. Where we could a few
years ago mention our stock
in a few words, to day we han
dle practically everything in
our line of business. We are
at that point where we can
forsee no chance 01 improve
ment but in another year
chances will present themselves
and we will be "larger than ev
er before."
Coming to solid tacts our
latest advancement has been
in the way of low prices. No
longer does a man have to be
well fixed in order to be able
to purchase our' line of goods.
We can sell to everybody now
where a few years ago ourcus
tomers were limited.
In twoof our departments
especially, we have made such
rapid advancement that if you
stop to, think it win surprise
vou as much as if the much
talked of air ship would fall in
vour front vard. We refer to
our paint and wall paper de
- partments. Where .we were
uracticallv nothinar. now we
are everything. We can pa

pen and all for money that
you consider change.
'Other departments have also
. been changed with the times.
The facilities for filling pre
scriptions are not surpassed by
any drug house in northwest
ern Ohio. If in doubt as to
what to give as a present to
a friend, Saur & Balsley can
quickly dispose of the doubt
and can fit you out with as
fine and desirable a present as
could be seen, and with a
low, hard time price too.

Serious Runaway.
Last Monday morning while load
ing lumber at the Wabash depot
Wiia. Brown was the viotim of a run
away and was seriously injured. Ha
was standing at tne neaa or a team
of horses hitched to a heavy lumber
wagon, when the east bound 8 o'clock
passenger whistled for the crossing.
This frightened the horses and they
began to rear and back away. Mr.
Brown finding he was nnable to hold
them by the bits madea leap for the
tongue to climb on their backs. He
missed his footing and fell under
the horses who trampled on him and
hauled the heavy wagon across his
right leg before he could extricate
himself. He was taken to his home
above A. Bradley's grocery and Dr.
Chas. Harrison summoned. The leg
suffered a compound fracture, a piece
of bone about six incheH long being
crosswise in the leg. The fracture
was set but on account of the
mushed condition of the bone it is
hard to say whether it will heal or
not. Mr. Brown was in the employ
of Thiesen & Hildred at the time of
the accident.

Pneumatic Tires in Germany,
The former manager of a big Euro
pean 'cycle goods distributing and
importing concern writes to an
American oycling journal, advising
American bicycle manufacturers not
to waste time and money in try
ing to force single-tube tires upon
European riders, in Europe, tires
with removable inner tubes (called-
double-tube tires,; were long ago
found to be the only practical, money-
saving form of tire. In speaking of
a journey of inspection throughout
Europe, the ex-manager refers to
Germany as follows.
. In most of the cities
visited, the repairmen had formed
small local and anti-single-tube
leagues, each man vowing not to
mend or repair a hose-pipe, however
touching tlie appeal of tne unfortu
nate customer who happened to
puncture his tire, and However
tempting the remuneration offered,
The Germans are great talk
ers, and even in cities like Hamburg
rumors of the single tube "humbug'
have been circulated with amazing
rapidity, from the artisan's "wirth
schaft" and the gentlemen's "wein
halle," into the clubs, and into the
homes of the people.

VAN WEKT PHEASANTRY.
Fifteen Hundred Young Birds
and Three Thousand Ejrjrs
Hatching.
The Ohio State Pheasantry, located
short distance north of Van Wert,
and established for the propagation
of birds to be turned loose through
out the state, has grown by additions
made from year to year to large pro
portions. At this time mere are
1500 young pheasants in the yards,
and some 3,000 eggs have been set,
and will hatch in a few days.
The setting is done by nens pur
chased from farmers. After hatch
ing, three to live broods are com
bined, and the family is given to a
hen to raise. The feeding is done by
experts, and is one of the most im
portant duties on the farm, ai mis
me ten gallons of iuuk ana ten uoi-
eu hen's eggs are daily cooked into
custard and fed to the little pheas
ants. The feeding, at regular inter
vals, is done live times each day.
When six weeks old the birds are
fed, in addition to the custard,
mashed potaioes, hemp and canary
seed. Later they are turned out to
scatter for themselves. Some forty
to fifty gallons of milk and as many
dozen eggs will be used daily to
make feed when all the eggs now un
der hens are hatched.
The young pheasants are timid and
easily frightened by strange faces.
When scared they niae unuer large
leaves, tufts of grass and other
places, and often are stepped on and
killed. For this reason the board of
game commissioners have ordered
that all strangers be excluded from
the grounds until the birds are sever
al months old. Then the public will
be admitted to the grounds. Many
censure Commissioner Short for en
forcing this rule, but it is a matter
over which he has no control. Van

Beginning Early in Life. -
The vicinity of Grelton had a
genuine case of holdup last week, all
the parties interested being boys of
not over ten years of age. Lads by
the name of Hollopeter and Meade
had been picking strawberries for
Eohriam Hollopeter, and while on
their way home were held up by two
voungsters not yet in their teens who
demanded their money, the would-be
ghway robbers thinking the boys
had received their pay for their labor,
id they wanted it. Luokily the
lads had no money about their per
sons and the young robbers had
their trouble for nothing. We
withold the names of the boys out of
respect for their parents, but should
they persist in their business we can
assure them that they will not only
nd their names in the papers, but
they will also find a home in the
penitentiary. Their little escapade
no doubt was learned through the
reading of yellow back literature,
which the average boy lias continu
ally in his hands. Boys, discard the
yellow-back and read the newspa

list of entries number way up to

worth going a good ways to see. The
races begin at one o'clock each day.

trainer, W. H. Barnes. He drives
the horse at full speed without lines
guiding him by arm motion only.
The horse also races without rider or
driver against two crack bicycle

Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House. Burton, W.. V., and
one of the most widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism
after three years of suffering. He
says: "I have not sufficient command
of language to convey' any idea of
what I suffered; my pnysicians toia
me that nothing could be done for
me, my friends were fully convinced
that nothing but death would relieve
me of my suffering. In June, 1894,
Mr. Evens, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., reoommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this
time my foot and limb were swollen
to more than double their normal
size and it seemed to me my leg
would burst, but soon after I began
ii sine the Pain Balm the swelling be
gan to decrease, the pain to leave, and
now I consider that I am entirely
cured. For sale by D. J. Humphrey,
