Ex-County Treasurer J. @. Waltimire has
moved back to his former home-Deshler.
He shipped his household goods some days
ago, and he and his family followed on Mon
day. Our citizens generally regret to see Mr..
W. and his estimable family leave Napoleon,
for since their residence here, DUNG four
years, the official term of Treasurer Waltz

of friends. If there is square, honest. up

Governor Campbell strikes keynote
in his message when..he declares that the
cities of Ohio should be given home
rule Of the freest and fullest character.
In this he reiterates the great principle
on which he conducted his gubernato-
rial candidacy and on which he was
elected. He comes out to-day boldly
for the federal plan Of municipal gov
ernment, and asseverates with empha-
sis that this is the only good solution
of good local government. He states
an indisputable fact is asserting that
the disreputable ripper legisIation-in-
tended by the rippers only to benefit
their friends-wastes vast amount of
the General Assembly's time, which
will be saved by relegating to each city
the legislation and control of its own
affairs by its own people. The govern
or's recommendations as to federal rule
of cities are worthy the frankest consid-
Grafton and the speediest adoption.
The legislature should not adjourn
without giving Cincinnati and other
misgoverned Ohio cities full relief.

THE LADDER.

Every person must climb
life's ladder. No matter who
or what the are or where they
come from, the ladder is placed
before them to climb. Some
run up its rounds actively and
with apparent ease; others are
slow but sure; others fall when
half way up; others reach all
but tho last round than fall.
Some of our people deserve
the success they have attained;
they are entitled to a resting
place on the top round OF life's
ladder; their pluck, tact and
business 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
years Of steady earnest toll,
have reached as lofty position
on the ladder of fame as Messrs
Saur & Balsley, proprietors oi
the far famed Drug, Book anc
Wall Paper House under theil
control. Their business career
in Napoleon dates back over 9
quarter of century, during
which period they have con-
stantly studied the wants Of the
people in this locality and then
efforts have been duly appre
ciated.
The firm has had an unpre
cedented holiday trade, bu
many articles, both useful ant

which they are offering at ex
trenely low figures, in orde:
to make room for their usua
spring stock. It will repa,

If Your House is ON Fire

You put water on the burning timbers, not on
the smoke. And if you have catarrh you
should attack the disease in theIblood, not in
your nose. Remove the impure cause, and
the local effect subsidies. To do this, take
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier,
which radically and permanently cures ca
tarrh. It also strengthens the nerves. Be
sure to get only Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Napoleon girls are militarily inclined. When
