OUR PORTRAIT COLUMN.
BrtefBiographical Sketches OfProm-
inentPeople in Henry County.

Napoleon has long been rich In the
possession of physicians and surgeons
peer to any in the state. This is recog-
nized and appreciated not only by our
own people here in Henry county, but
they rank high among the medical fra
ternity abroad.
This profession is all but sacred one
and is too often entered by them who
do both themselves and those who m
they would have as patrons an injustice
by remaining blind to the unwelcome
fact that the vocation Tor which they
are fitted h ad been injudicIously
selected and should be abandoned.
Happily Napoleon is not inflicted with
any of this class. Our coterie of doe
tors, to man, command the respect
and implicit confidence of all; and rath-
er does this esteem increase than d.
minish as the years roll by. Each en-
joys lucrative practice, giving value
received.
Prominent among these gentlemen
of cures and surgical operations is,
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1891-04-30

He was born in Columbiana County,
this state, e,nFeb. II, 1884. His father
was a farmer, and the Doctors youth
consisted of farm life, attending com
mon schools portion of each year un'
til sufficiently advanced to enter the
university at Ann Arbor, Michigan
VIII ich he did in 1855. Having decided
to follow the profession of medicine,
he entered the medical department
and graduated in 1859.
Practicing short time in Mt. Blan.
chard and Van Buren,, he removed to
Napoleon in 1851 and has since made
this place his residence.
The war breaking out shortly after,
he entered the service and was COM
missioned assistant Surgeon of the list.
o. vi. He was soon after detailed in
charge of the 1st. Him ois Light Ar
tillery and here served with credit un-
til the end of the war.
Returning to Napoleon, he resumed
the practice of his profession and soon
built up large practice which has
steadily increased during the follow
ing twenty five years.
In 1880 DR.. Shoemaker was nomi-
mated by the republican party for may
or of Napoleon and Notwithstanding a
democratic majority existing in the
corporation, he was elected and served
two years.
The Doctor is giant in stature,
measuring about #. 8 in, and his
large pat ronage will endorse the asser-
ton that his ability in his profession is
commensurate with his. stature. Els
pecially has he established a prestige
in performing major surgical opera
tions, such as amputation and ovario-
tony.
Very few professions require the
amount of reading TO keep apace the
times as that of medicine. DR.. Shoe
maker is an indefatigable reader; also
attendant of medical associations,
where his diagnoses have weight with
brother physicians. At present he is a
member of the Toledo, N orthwestern,
Ohio State and American societies. In
878 he was elected and filled the pres
ident's chair of the Northwestern.

The Australian ballot bill is now law, and
we must vote under its provisions next ia II.
The reform law is lengthy, occupying som e
three or four newspaper columns. There will
be but one ticket in the field and that will
contain the names of all candidates asking
for the suffrages of the people, and you indi-
cate your choice by certain mark. The
measure is intended as in the line of ballot
reform and test will disclose whether it
comes up to the expectations of its trainers
and the people generally looking for some
relief in that direction.
