Extension of T. O. C. to North

Likely to lie Made.
Columbus News.
That the Ohio Central will build next
summer from St. Marys to Ft. Wayne,
connecting Its western branch with
the Nickel Plate, is a report from Find
lay, O. Local olllcers of the Central
deny knowledge of any immediate
Plans In that direction. Chief Engi
neer Stocker was away from the city
Thursday.
While it is thought Improbable that
construction is ho near at band, local
olllcers concedo that this plan, which
has been discussed for fifteen years, Is
now more likely to tie carried out than
ever before, because the New Yoi k Cen
tral would build the connectson should
tills appear advantageous.
The distance from Chicago to Colum
bus would be shortened about forty
miles by such a route, and the Ohio
Central would have an outlot where
now the St. Marys branch ends on the
prairie. Some years ago F. H. Hysell,
general agent here, tried to induce the
Ohio Central olllcers to build twenty
miles to Ohio i'lty and connect with
the Erie, thereby cutting off ten miles
from its connection with the Erie at
Kenton. Residents even agreed to
give the right of way, but the road was
not then in financial condition to make
mprovements.
Mr. and Mrs. II . O. Purdy, of Black-
creek township, were in Celina last
Friday closing up a deal with the
Brookbart t Murlin realty agency, by
which they acquired tbe eighty-eighty

township, Mr. Whitney in turn pur
chasing a 120-acre farm in Washington
townsbiptof the same firm. Mr. Pur
dy disposed of his forty acre farm in
Blackcreek to Win, Hoverman through
the same agency. Tbe three deals to
taled nearly 30,000.
C. A. Deitrick last Saturday pur
chased tbe Conrad Strauble farm of
forty acres in Liberty Township,
The Short Donovan real estate
agency bandied the sale of four farm

to be an unusual movement of both

FIRES
The G. H. Fast home, at Neptune,
was totally destroyed by fire, which
presumably started from a defective
Hue, shortly before seven o'clock last
Tuesday evening. The fire bad gained
such headway, the upper part of the
house being all in flames, when dis
covered, that it was impossible, d
spite the heroic work of the villagers,
to save tho home. Everything on the
upper Doors were also destroyed, but
most of the ftn niture down stairs was
safely removed. All the bedding and
almost all the family s clothing was
burned, the insurance was only fo00,
which will fall far short of paying for
the damage. For the present Mr.
Fast and his family will occupy the
Dan Doty home.
The fi re department was called to the
home of Mrs. Catherine Thedick, Kast
Livingston street, Monday morning on
accoutitof the burning out of a Hue.
No damage.

Advice Concerning Stomach
Troubles And How To
Remedy Them
Do not neglect indigestion which
leads to all sorts of ills and complica
tions. An eminent doctor once said
that ninety-five per cent of all the ills
of the human body have their origin in
a disordered stomach.
A physician who made a specialty of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspep
sia, after years of study perfected the
formula from which Hexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are made.
Our experience with Hexall Dyspep
ia TabletB leads us to believe them to
be the greatest remedy known for the
relief of acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia. Their ingredients are
soothing and healing to the inflamed
membranes of the stomach. They are
rich in pepsin, one of the greatest di
gestive aids known to medicine. The
relief they afford is almost immediate.
Their use with persistency and regu
larity for a short time brings about a
cessation of the pains caused by stom
ach disorders.
Kexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and
promote nutrition. As evidence of our
sincere faith in Kexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets, we ask you to try them at out
risk. If they do not give you entire
satisfaction, we will return you the
money you paid us for them, without
question or formality. They come m
three sizes, prices 25 cents, 50 cents and
1 1. 00. Remember you can obtain them
only at our store The Rexall Store

Firing Jones
By JOANNA SINGLE

Literary
When Jones had been steadily
making good for two years in the
circulation department of the Daily
Scintillator, he suddenly began, in
the elegant language of the new boss,
to slump. The new boss, by sheer
merit, had suddenly risen from
obscurity to bis present position, and
ho knew not Jones, his worthy busi
ness past, nor his troubles. His one
Idea was to get the work done prop
erly, promptly, plentifully. He
wanted subscriptions, and carried no
superfluous sentiment about with
him. So, after Jones had for several
weeks been slumping, the boss sum
moned bim to tbe desk.
'What's the trouble, Jones? The
circulation is crawling back on us.
The Tribune's sworn statement In
their lying paper last night gave me
the backache. You haven't brought
fresh idea into this business for a
month and what ails your solicit
ing? Sick?"
.Tones was so obviously a clean sort
that the boss knew he was not dis-
' '. ; Di. ng fellow hesitated
moment before replying while the
older man eyed him with keen kind
liness.
'No, I'm not sick. And I'm not
shirking. I seem to work harder
than ever with less results. Perhaps
It's the heat everybody else Is hot,
too, and the town seems willing to let
the paper die. I'm sorry."
Now, It was the Idea of the boss
that being fired occasionally was
good for any man. Perhaps Jones
was too sure of his Job, having lately
been promised a raise.
"Well, Jones, I'll give you another
week to get a brace on. If you don't
deliver the goods by next Monday
11 have to get a man who will.
That's all."
The boy he was hardly more
went out on the street. He was not
even angry he was merely ashamed
In a dull way. Last year last month
he would have raged. But then the
boss could not last year have found
fault with his work. The thought
stung. WThat was the matter?
All forenoon he worked, but with
small success. He knew that his
once confident smile was becoming
apologetic. Where he had demanded
hearing, he now pleaded for one. It
as like fear. He hated to realize
that he was afraid. He was discour
sed, and the day's work summed
up between fair and middling.
And he knew the "Middlin' Man" did
not last long in the business depart
ment or any department of the
Daily Scintillator.
The interview with the boss was
on Monday. Tuesday passed, and
Wednesday, and still Jones made
small headway with his work. He
wondered if he could be homesick for
the home that he never had? An
older sister, dead since his sixteenth
year, had brought him up. For the
rest, he had worked his way through
business college, and then had struck
out to the city for himself. The
brother-in-law had married again.
Jones had no home but the room he
paid for In a boarding house. Think
ing about it now, he was glad he had
just paid his rent a month In ad
vance, for he began to be sure he
would be fired.
He sat alone in his room a hot
June evening, miserable, despondent.
Then he went down to the porch and
talked a little to the landlady. She
called him "Mr. Jones." The office
said "Joma." No one knew his first
name, or would have used It if they
had. The other fellows would have

ous beloved classmate and scholar,
Caroline Harrison, be it, therefore,
Resolved, That we, Buds of Promise

one who was always present when her
health would permit, and was an at
tentive listener and ready to do what
she could.
Resolved, That In this lost loved
one we have lost one who has set us an
example of patience, love and purity,
who, while the suffering that God saw
fit to send upon her was at times se
vere, was always ready to meet her
friends and loved ones with a smile.
Resolved, That we pattern our lives
after our lost loved one, and be aiways
ready, as Caroline was, to answer when
our names are called, saved through
Jesus' blood.
