The Fire Ordina pnes.

To THE EDITOR OF The ThNEs.-The
Council of the city of Roanoke has, at
all times, given the fire department all
due consideration and, so far as possible,
have conceded their requests and acted
in concert with them. There has never
been any antagonism between the Coun-
Gil and the fire department. All meas
ures for this department are passed in
Council on recommendation Of the the
committee on fire and water. This COM
mittee has invariably consulted us and
given our arguments due weight and
consideration before recommending to
Council.
Such having been their action in the
past wo have no reason to believe the
same courtesy will not be extended in
the future. Our action, together with
that of the Council, will be toward the
best interests of the city, and we conf
IDENTIFY assert that if the appropriation
of bonds is voted for fire purposes the
city will receive the full benefit of every
dollar of the bonds.
We do not think intervention requisite
so far as this appropriation is concerned,
and we earnestly hope that all contests
over the matter may be dropped, and
the ordinances of the fire appropriations
be adopted by the people, because it ie
matter in which the property owners
are particularly interested financially
With the appropriations the fire depart.
menS can and will do better service
than heretofore, without it we are Grip.
Piled and the city's danger from fires
stands without proper protection. We
therefore ask the support of The TIMES
for the ordinances. Faithfully yours,

Napoleon was deposed by the Senate in 1874
hut the soldiery was still ready to take up his
cause and obey his commands. and when he
rallied his forces for last effort against the
English the ''Old Guard" were quick to
respond. When the clash of arms came at the
battle of Waterloo Akins' division was only 30
action too late to be of service-Napoleou had
had fallen. AT the close of his military
service Joseph Atkins was married to Miss
Mary Mullen, and about five years there
after they emigrated to America, about
65 wears ago They first settled in
Canton, where they resided for some Is years
and then removed to Paris township. Stark
county, residing there for 25 years. For the
past % years Mr.. Atkins has been a resident of
Alliance. His wife died about 2l years ago.
-Four sons were born unto them, but only one
survives. There are "a grandchildren of the
deceased.
He seldom referred TO his army experience
of late years, but in earlier years would give
very interesting "reminiscences of his expert
ence as fighter under Napoleon. During his
talk of old army experiences going through
the motions of drawing his saber. and calling
20 his comrades in arms to sustain the valor of
France and the leadership of their brave COM
mander.
Could he have lived to round out a century
of life the event would have been celebrated in
a fitting manner.

ALLIANCE, o., Jan. 1S.-The Oldest man
III Stsrk county has just breathed his last,
after almost reaching the century mark.
This death is of more than ordinary interest,
not only from the extreme age of the de-
ceased, but from the fact that ne was one of
q very few survivors of Napoleon's army
who resided in America. But one son sur
wives him, Mr.. Philip Atkins, Sr., of this
city. For the past three weeks deceased has
been daily growing more feeble, though at
times it was hoped his life would be pro-
longed until he might round out century
of existence.
Joseph Atkins was born in Bellford,
France, on September 5, 1892. The first i'm
portant event to make a lasting impression
on his mind was the battle of Austerlitz, in
which Napoleon defeated the combined
armies of Russia. There is little wonder
then that young Atkins at the tender age of
Is years was so elated with the victories be-
ing achieved by Napoleon that he succeeded
in enlisting in the French army. He par

Mrs. Martha Rabor of Polk City, was in
Des Moines few days last week. Though
entirely blind and advanced in years, she
has mind of more than ordinary power.
She is thoroughly informed on current
events and has a large assortment of posi-
tive convictions. She is Methodist and a
Democrat 1t is worthy Of remark that she
can say what no other person probably in
Iowa can say, and that is that John Wesley
baptized her grandmother in Epworth,
England. The writer overheard her in a
home on Twenty-si1th street advise lady
who had troublesome cough to ''be sure to
get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. People
up my way think of il as the best medicine
for that purpose that is made. Mr.. Sted-
man sells it in my town and he saws it is
very popular" Mrs. C. 81. McCauIey, of

added her testimony to the value of the
remedy. saying: eyes, Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is splendid. 1 have had it
In my family for years. 1t is such good

The result was, the lady's husband went
down town to Crawford's pharmacy, bought
bottle and the annoying cough, which
had prevented sleep to the sufferer and had
caused great anxiety to her friends, gradu-
ally disappeared. The number Of such
experiences are multiplying all over the
