feelingly of the members who had de-
parted this life, and named families
where he had for three generations
made members of their male represent

and, as the colonel is by no means an
infirm man, he may yet live to see an.
othor generation of each of these fami-
lies tho Chapmans and the Oakeys)
brought within the hallowed precincts
OF Taylor Lodge.
Rev. j. S. Hutchinson followed with
humorous address, telling how he was
made an entered apprentice on the
night Of the day on which General Lee

aftoward was raised to the degree OF a
master Mason.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.

DENVER, March 1.-THE mons
trous dimensions of the Knights
Templar's conclave to occur in Den
yer next August are not at all appre-
ciated by the average citizen. The
following facts were today obtained
by President Elbert of the chamber
of commerce: Up to date $4,000
people have contracted for rooms;
10000 more have engaged Pullman
cars for their accommodation, and
over 500 cf these cars will stand in
the Denver yards and be occupied by
the 10000 attendants at the con-
clave. Stretched out in a line, the
sleepers would form an unbroken
train seven miles long.

Bill Nye says that Eugene Field
is the most tender hearted man he
ever knew. He gives the following
"reminiscences TO prove 1t:
"He asked me to be seated, point
ing to the only chair in his office,
barring his own. | began to move
the exchanges, of which there was a
great number, but he said: Never
mind, the this, that and other papers.
Sit down on Them can remember
it yet. There was no seat in the
chair and so | passed on rapidly till
/ struck the floor with much feeling.
l never saw anyone feel sadder than
Field did over that, for he never
could bear to give anyone needless
pain. Once he left hotel in Den
yer and went elsewhere because, as
he said to the proprietor, he had
thoughtlessly, while asleep, rolled
over several little creatures in his
bed, crushing the life and lights and
fragrance out of them, and would
pay his bill, plcase,and go elsewhere,
where he would not give pain to the
smallest or smelliest of Gods Great
ures. So he went away to another
place, for Field had tender heart"

NEW MEXICO AND AR1zoNA.

WAsHINToN, March 14.-The
house committee on territories today
finished consideration of Delegate
Joseph's bill to enable the governor
of New Mexico to form a constitu-
tion and state government so that
the territory may be admitted into
the union as a state. A number of
important amendments have been
made to the bill. The committee
dealt very literally by the territory
in the matter of public lands. One
of the amendments adopted gives
the territory one-ninth of all the pub.
lie lands, except mineral, for school
purposes. The usual amount allowed
for this purpose includes every six
teenth and thirty-sixth section. An
other amendment was adopted grant
ing 100000 acres of land for reser-
voir purposes and 100000 acres for
technical and scientific school and
asylums for the deaf, dumb and
blind. The bill will no doubt be
favorably reported to the house. The
house committee on territories today
began the consideration of Delegate
Smiths bill to provide for the ad-
mission of the territory of Arizona
as a state.

Plenty Of Water.

Mr.. Howe, the water works and electric
light man from Norwalk, who was before
the council Monday night, is responsible
for the statement that in case his company
receives the franchise, it would experience
no difficulty in securing pure water. free
from sulphur and in abundance; that of
course this would be one of the stipulations.
He said that the New York Hydraulic Com
pany has already examined the town and
know whereof they speak when they say
that the prospects for good water are very
favorable. He also states that the great
drawback in operating plant here is the
poor facilities for transportation of coal
from the railroad; that the location of the
plant positively precludes the construction
of switch, hence it must all be carted at 9
great expense.
He will submit another proposition to
the council this evening.
He maintains that it is not necessary fol
the council to advertise for bids in giving Q
franchise.

A Leap Year Ball.

Our young ladies, always up with the
times, have issued invitations for leap year
dance to be held at the Pythian Hall, Friday
evening. The young ladies do this simply
because they feel that a dance is what Ma
poleon most needs justnow, and not through
spirit of exercising the leap year preroga.
tive.
However, since it is leap year, they are de-
termined that all conventionalities at this
dance shall be reversed. Strictly the ladies
have taken things in hands from ooting the
bills down to escorting tn 9 gentlemen to the
hall.
Aft. Wayne orchestra has been engaged,
and supper will be served in the K. of p

Pngilistic Contest on Local Ground.

Wednesday evening, Deshler, this county,
enjoyed the distinction of regular prize
fight for $1,000, Jack Farrell of Pittsburg
and Dan Baliff, of Wapakoneta figuring as
the combatants. By the terms of the match
Farrell was to knock Balliff out in twenty
rounds or forfeit money. The fight took
place at the rink and was witnessed by
quite a crowd including the Mayor and Mar
shal. They pushed each other about the
platform with vain endeavor to "draw
blood" which at last made its appearance
on the head of Bailiff caused by rubbing
against post in his frantic efforts to "get
at his antagonist" Finally when they both
became weary of iostling one another, Far
rell started to walk across the platform with
his hands by his side. Bailiff seeing an op-
portunity to achieve name and position,
made a fierce lunge knocking Farrell under
the ropes. AS this was the first intimation
that there was a fight in progress, and like
Iy to be the Hast of such, the referee at once
seized the opportunity and gave the victory
(and twas famous one(?)) to Bailiff,
who was Immediately challenged by one
Sullivan, of Toledo.
Those who witnessed the encounter say
that to see the brutes pushing each other to,
and also fro, In frantic endeavor to spoil a
visage, was sight, disgusting indeed.

Are You Sick?

IF you are sick and in i'll health. remem-
Der that delays are dangerous, that for a
few dimes you can very often procure RENE
dies which if they do not entirely cure you,
will give you great relief. This is without a
doubt the most sickly season which Henry
county has ever seen, and every prudent
person who values health as well as life, will
use all precaution possible regarding habits,
and the use of medicines necessary for the
promotion of the same. Night air, sold
feet, unnecessary exposure to cold and wet
weather are all extremely dangerous to good
health at the present time. Saur & Balsley
have anticipated this season and have filled
their large drug and medicine store with
full stock of everything in the medicine line
which is new and reliable and which has
been tested thoroughly and found to con
tain all the medical properties, etc., claimed
for it. The best remedies to use are those
which will cule you in the shortest possible
time and Saur & Balsley's drug store is tht
place where you can always get those which
are good and reliable.

Fleecing Innocents.

Two roRues watch the newspapers for estray

farmer on application, shows the beastand
the fellow decides it is not his, then returns
to his partner and describes the animal
infinitely to him. No. 2 then goes to the
farmer and after proving by athorough des-
cription tina the is the owner of the animal,
