Golden Dreams.

| short time ago, says an exchange, several
young ladies come down from Defiance to
visit friends here, who in company with six
Napoleon girls occupied one room as sleep
ing department.
| 10 insure the right kind of dreams. they
tied all their big toes together with yellow
string and then went to bed and awaited re-
suits. One of the visiting ladies led OH IN
very pleasant dream, of a very sweet young
man with red hair and a squint IN one eye;
but she was rudely awakened by the snoring
of Defiance girl who was struggling IN
dream with the ghost of Brigham Young,
which was endeavoring to carry her away to
his harem in the sweet by and by. Just then
another Defiance girl started in on dream
that exceeded in the beauty of its make up
and trimmings, anything in the line of
dreams she had ever experienced; while the
third visitor was wrestling with night
mare in which large dog with crazy quilt
skin and tin ears, was beating a bass drum
with the leg bone of an imaginary kangaroo.
Another Napoleon lassie, feeling the chord
tightening around her toe, dreamed that a
grizzly bear was hugging her and trying to
pull her out of wolf trap, but just then the
next girl screamed so loud in her dream that
the bear was frightened away. Then the big
gest girl of the lot dreamed that she was
swimming away from large fish, but just as
the fish was to swallow her she gave kick
and snapped the string and the charm was
broken. The last one of the young ladies
dreamed that herself and very nice young
man of this city (who has been patted on the
head by various young ladies until he is near
ly bald headed was sitting in hammock in
an arbor, when suddenly the clock struck
eleven and they parted at the front gate.
They then awoke and it was daylight.

The County Fair,

September 8, 9, TO- and Il are the dates
for holding the big Napoleon fair.
/ These dates are near at hand and it is time
the people were taking the subject into con-
sideration and preparing to make it as cred
liable an exhibit as possible. The harvest
has been bounteous one, fruits of all kinds
are fairly abundant, so there Is no valid reas-
on why the coming fair should not outstrip
all its predecessors in the display of products
of the farm and garden. There has been a
steady improvement in the breeding of
horses, cattle, sheep, swine and fowls, and
these should beshown at the fair, so that
those who have not been numbered with
our progressive farmers, may take note of
what has been done and profit thereby. In
this way, and in this way only, can our
agricultural fairs be made generally bene-
fetal and with this end in view every
farmer who has an animal or an article
which he believes possesses any particular
merit should place it on exhibition. 1t may
be awarded premium or it may not, but in
ither event the exhibitor would be the
gamer, "A m6TCnduJ IHdI uOeS NOT duN6TtlSo
his wares, or display them to public view in
a show window in the most attractive man
ner, would soon drop out of sight as a COM
petitor for trade. The same is true of the
farmer and his products. If he produces
something of superior merit he wants the
world to see it. In this way he creates a
m arket in which he can sell to a better ad-
vantage than he could in the event that both
he and his article were unknown. While
these exhibitions are devoted largely to
agricultural products, it must not be forgot
ten that everything which is of benefit to
human kind in manufactures, showing pro-
gress in invention or skill in workmanship,
has an appropriate place at the fair. Articles
which go to make our homes more beautiful
and attractive should also be displayed there.
This work devolves largely upon the ladies
and they always make a creditable exhibit
Let the ladies from every section vie with
each other in making this department better
than ever before.
With all of these various departments fully
represented, together with the trials of
speed each day, and many other attractions
too many to enumerate, the spectator will
have more to see and study than he can find
anywhere else, and with more profit and less
expense to himself Let the coming fair
be the crowning event of the season.

DOWN TWO THOUSAND FEET
Drops John Hogan and is Dashed tc
Death on a Board Sidewalk.

At the Detroit Exposition, Saturday. full
ly 10000 people witnessed the balloon ascen-
sion of Prof. John Hogan, which terminal
ed i'll sight of horror not on the bills-a
sight that caused women to faint and
strong men Cry like babies.
As the balloon left the ground Hogan
grasped the ropes of the trapeze about 1s
inches above the bar. intending to swing
himself on the bar. He is a man weigh
ing 200 and no athelete, therefore the force
of gravity acting in conjunction with the
force produced by the rapid ascent of the
balloon were too much for his unskilled
arms and he failed to lift himself up.
Bartholomew saw his predicament and
yelled For God sake, Hogan, get on the
bar The unfortunate man heard the
admonition without power to heed. With
a desperation born of death near at hand
he frantically clutched the ropes and ex-
erted every muscle to attain the goal which
meant to him escape from a most horrible
death. When a height of 1000 feet was
reached, he ceased his efforts and after hang
still several seconds, dropped. It took 30
seconds to reach the earth. He struck a
board sidewalk outside the grounds and
was instantly killed. So great was the con-
cussion that both the boards and strinpgrs
of the walk were broken in pieces.
His brother, Prof. Ed D. Hogan. was
swept out to sea and drowned July 16, 1889,
ascending in an alleged air-car at Brook
lyn, N. Y.
Both the Hogans are we'll known in Napo.

TAXED To DEATH.

MR.. EDIroR:-Permit me through
the columns Of your paper to make a
few remarks on the above caption.
What are the inevitable consequences
of being too fond Of glory? This is a
political problem which the American
people must decide at the forthcoming
election, despite the futile efforts of Me-
kinley and mis- piratical gang of CO.
horts. Taxes upon every article which
enters into the mouth, or covers the
back or is placed under the foot; taxes
upon everything which is pleasant to
see, hear, feel, taste or smell; taxes up
on warmth, light and locomotion "a; tax
es on everything on earth, and the wa
ters under the earth; on everything
That comes from abroad or is grown at
home; taxes on the raw material, taxes
on every fresh value that is added to it
by the industry of man; taxes on the
sauce which pampers mans appetite,
and the drug that restores him to health:
on the ermine which decorates the
Judge, and the rope which swings the
murderer into eternity; on the poor
mans suit and the rich mans spice; on
the brass nails of the coffin, and the
ribbons of the bride; at bed or board,
couchant or levant, we must pay.
The school boy whips his taxed top,
the beardIess youth manages his taxed
horse, with taxed bride, on a taxed
road; and the dying American pouring
his medicine, which has paid twenty.
niue per cent, into spoon thai is
charged fifteen per cent, filings himself
back on his sick bed, which has paid
twenty-four per cent, and expires in
the arms of an apothecary, who has
paid revenue license of 100 per cent. per
year for the privilege of killing him.
His whole property is then taxed from
four to six per cent. Besides the pro-
bate, large fees are demanded for bury
ing him in the potter's field; his virtues
ifany, are handed down to posterity on
taxed marble; and he is then gathered
to his fathers to be taxed no more.
How long! Oh Lord and benighted
citizens is this state of affairs going to
last? Just as long as you place in power
Mckinley who is billed for Salt Creek.
Speak of protection, universal robbery,
would be more appropriate. Can it be
possible that Mckinley is the political
Savior of Ohio? Let his death knell be
sounded next November by every
honest and intelligent citizen, and your
State will be saved from thralldom and
oppression, w. H. B.

A Good Supporter.

The very best supporter made and sold
is the one which holds the patient in any and
all positions with the greatest comfort and
ease. Saur & Balsley have had much expert
ence in this line of goods, and their large
and long experience enables them to select
the very best. Hence he who goes there for
his or her supporter will always be sure to
find the latest and best. A poor supporter or
truss is almost worse than none at all and
yet for anyone who is ruptured to go even one
hour without one, is in great danger of losing
his life. No one can afford to take the
chances of going without. Saur g. Balsley
carry constantly large line of these goods
at very low prices; they have all sizes and
styles so that you are almost certain of get
ting the best and most reliable. Every truss
adjusted is warranted to hold the patient and
give satisfaction, but remember that no truss
is warranted to cure and yet many do cure
and many trusses are sold for the express
purpose to cure but that kind more frequent
ly cure the pocket book rather than the pa
tient. When in need of a truss, supporter
or shoulder brace be sure to call at Saur &
Balsley's Drug and Medicine Depot.
