TO THE ELECTORS
The Important Question of Water
works has Been Submitted.

1t was generally understood that an ordi-
nance would be introduced in the council at
the special meeting Monday night to submit
the question of waterworks for the considera-
tion of the voters Therefore all members
were in their seats promptly at o'clock ex-
cepting Groschner.
Mr.. Cahill presented an ordinance provid-
ing that on the 30th day of July an election
would be held to vote upon proposition of
the council to bond the town for $400 900 for the
construction of waterworks. (The ordinance
in full is found in this impression and also
the notice of election.)
Upon motion of Mr.. Tyler the ordinance
was placed upon its End and 3rd readings and
passed.
Mr.. Samse asked that carload of crushed
stone be ordered for the repair of crossings.
The motion was referred to Mr.. Ludwig with
full power to act.
The Trustees of Harrison tp., represented
by one of their member, desired to ascer-
tain the true boundary line between Harrison
tp. and Napoleon corporation; that portion
of the Bowling Green Road was and has been
for years in poor condition on account of a
misunderstanding in regard to in whose
jurisdiction it is. After much discus
sion it was decided for this year to work
the road in conjunction but that hereafter
the road be repaired by whichever is taxed
for the work. 4
Mr.. Beard had on hand complete specifca-
tions for waterworks plant but was not al
lowed to present them until after an election
has been held. r En rt r

Painful Accident.

Last Thursday afternoon. George Reinbolt,
an employee at Bruner's hoop factory, met
with an accident which compels him to re-
sort to the use of crutches. On the above
date he was working on the tramway on
which logs are hauled from the canal to the
mill. A load had just been brought up and
unloaded on the platform. He was in the
act of loading large log on the mill truck
when the "cant hook" which he YVES holding
broke its hold, thro wing him backwards to
the ground, and in falling twisted his left leg
in such manner that his left ankle received
his full weight. He was Immediately taken
to his home north of the depot and DR.. Mar
vim summoned who upon making an examin-
alton found one of the bones between the
knee and ankle to be broken, but says that by
careful nursing" he will be able to resume
his duties in a few days.

Notice to Harvesters.

You, who have not already done SO, should
at once look over your reapers, mowers, ,rakes,
&C.. and see that all are in good working
conditions. You should have a good supply
of the best machine oils on hand, such as can
always be had at Saur & Balsley's Drug and
Paint Store. This House carries Il full sup
ply at this time of year of everything in the
line of lubricating oils at bottom prices. No
machinery will run we'll, do you good work
or last we'll, unless it is we'll fabricated. Re-
member that there is no oil, no fabrication of
anykind, which lasts as we'll and is as cheap
and reliable as the X X Winter Strained Lard
Oil sold at Saur & Balsley's Oil Depot. An
other economical thing for farmer to do is
to keep his machinery well painted. He can
buy small quantity of paint and oil at Saur &
Balsley's paint store which does not cost much
and he can apply it at odd times when the
weather is such that he can do but little else.

IN MID-AlR, AS 1T WE'RE.
John Young Knocks Out Fred.
Whyler on the Slippery
Roof of the Court
House.

Perhaps the most novel fight ever record
ed in this or any other county took place
last Wednesday afternoon on the roof of the
Court House.
f. B. Whyler has been here for several
weeks in the employ of a Toledo house full
filling contract with the Com missioners
in timing and galvenized-iron work-en-
casing the new chimney etc. William
Weber, youth about IS years of age was
his assistant.
Ever since he struck the town, Whyler has
been comic itably drunk and it seems that
the house, being apprised of the fact, trans
posed the relationship, making WeberLthe
"boss" and Whyler the "man." Smarting
under this indignity, the deposed monarch
increased the brook of vinous liquid that
rippled merrily down his neck. A case of
ugly drunkenness was the result. He refus-
ed to work and as the work was urgent John
Young was hired to take his place.
Wednesday as the men were at work on
top of the building, Whyler made his ap-
pearance and demanded his hammer, with a
magnificent volley of "canisterial" profan-
ity as sort of desert and to impress upon
their minds that he was doing business on
strictly business principles. Weber was in
the act of raising heavy plank and asked
him to waite minute. Securing the ham
mer the drunken man viciously struck at
the boy who escaped broken head by dodg-
ing. He called for help and John Young

wholesome whack from the hammer on the
forehead, which glanced however, spending
it's force on the left arm. Nothing daunted
he waded in, and soon had Whyrle badly
whipped.
The fighting was on narrow piece of
roof, made slippery by recent rain, with
large opening on one side leading to 80 feet
of space on the inside of the building, while
on the other side was the cornice. 1t was
hazardous battle ground. Asingle mis.step
would have precipitated the combatants to
the iron rafters above the prosecuting attor-
ney's Office or over the roof down nearly 100
feet to uncompromising stone steps below.
To those who witnessed the encounter
from below, it was scene rare to behold and
never to be forgotten. The 1.-the forms
could be easily distinguished, swaying over
the slippery roof, each struggling Tor the
cendency-regardless of the fearful con-
SEQUENCES that might befall both, and which
were imminent "a
Whyler was arrested on charge of drunk
enness and assault and battery. Arraigned
before Mayor Meekison next morning on
this charge, he plead guilty, and was given a
fine of $15 with costs and severe repre-
mand from the Judge. In default of the
fine he stood committed until Friday when
he was conveyed to the stone yard at Toledo
to work out the cost of his viciousness at the
rate of 60c per diem.
He is good workman and honest. fellow,
and it is through drink alone that he was

HOW A PUZZLE WAS SOLVED,

When you want a certain article, you want the
best make of that article, don't youY
Blu: how to determine which make Is best is
what puzzles you, isn't 1t!
And when the puzzle is solved for you, by
authority which cannot be questioned, you are
pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear of one puzzle that
has been solved for the people Of the whole world,
wouldn't you?
We'll, we will tell you about that very puzzle, and
its solution.

They were passed upon by jury composed of the
best foreign mechanical experts two of whom were
the leading sewing machine manufacturers OF
France.
This Jury, after exhaustive examination and
tests, adjudged that the Wheeler s& Wilson
machines were the best OF all, and awarded that
company the highest prize offered, the GRAND
PRIZE, giving other companies only gold, silver,
and bronze medals.
The French Government as q further recogni-
ton of superiority, decorated Mr.. Nathaniel Wheel
Legion of Honor, the most priced honor OF France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing ma
chine in the world was fully solved by the most
competent authority in the world ia favor OF the
No. 9 and No. 10 Wheeler q Wilson machines
The Nos for family use, and the No. II for
manufacturing uses, are the best in the world to-
day.
And now, when you want sewing machine, If
you do not get the BEST it will be your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the No.
