THAT LOCATION.
People Who Know Look Upon it as
the One Long Sought.

The Glass property on the South Side
which has been selected by the Council as
the location to sink the final test well be-
fore resorting to the river, it is thought by
many will prove just what the Council has
been seeking for months. 1t is the outlet
of all the rich veins of water of which that
section has become noted. 1t is also ada
cent to the river and above all sewers, so
that in case the supply at any time gives
out the river will serve as a reserve.
"Water certainly is very plentiful in the
location in question:" said councilman
Ludwig. "rhe people thereabouts have
never experienced dry we'll. 1t is clearly
a spring country. Inmany cases few tile
or barrel is sunk and an inexhaustible sup
ply of water is the result"
"Do you think that the plant will be put
in ?"
"Why not ? I am heartily in favor of it,
and am positive that three, at least, of the
other members are with me. This with the
support of the Mayor, and backed by a big
majority of the people certainly warrants the
construction of the works. In fact, the
plant ought now to be in operation"

Mrs. Fred Prints.

Josie, the wife of Squire Fred d. Prints
died at Marshall, No., on Saturday, Oct. ],
and was buried on the 81 at that place, it be.
ing her former home ard the home of her
parents.
Mrs. Prints although a resident of Napo-
leon but short time gained many friends
by her gentle disposition aud her heroic
resignation TO the inevitable. She was a
victim of the destroyer consumption and II
was in search of relief that the trip was
made home, but to no avail. She continued
to grow worse until the end.
The deceased was young being but 2S years
of age and the mother of one child. To be
left to mourn her eternal departure when life
had just begun, as it we're, is indeed a most
crushing blow 10 the sorrowing young hus-
band and daughter. To them is the sym
pathy and coincidence of our community ex-
tended and long will the memory of Mrs.
Prints remain with her friends.
In far away Missouri she sleeps-is dead,

cites the following The Cincinnati. Ham

WENT OFF
And the Contents of a Shot Gun
Lodged in George Meyers Neck.

DGeorge W. Myers, brother of Representa-
tive and John Meyers, met with an accident
last Wednesday that it seems little short at
the miraculous did not prove fatal.
He with young fellow named Eisman
were hunting squirrels in Harrison tp. They
had temporarily suspended hostilities and
we're standing near tree wi tn their guns al
a sort of parade rest Carriage when Mey-
ers' gun suddenly discharged, lodging its en-
tire contents in his throat, passing through
the tongue and striking the base of the
skull.
DR.. Charley Harrison was Immediately
summoned and up to date 16 shot have been
taken from his neck many of which were
fiattened while coming in contact with the
skull.
The patient is doing nicely and if blood
poisoning does not set in he will recover.
The only reason why his whole head was
not blown off was due to light charge and
a poor gun. The gun was an old musket
which had been bored out for shot purposes
and therefore could deliver nothing but 6
scattering shot and was thus robbed of its
force.

ON THE MOVE.
Council TAKING STEPS THAT
WILL SETTLE THE WA
TERwoRKs QUESTION.
Councilman Wilson Wants TO Utilize
River Water and ut Once Put in
the Plant.

Six members answered to roll call at the
special Monday night, with Mayor Meekison
presiding.
1t was reported that many places in the
gravel roads within the city we're defective
and on a motion of Cahill $50 loads of grav-
ell not to exceed cost of 75c per load for
repairs were ordered.
The Mayor asked if any other special
business was before the council, and there
being none, his honor stated the object of
this meeting was for the consideration of
waterworks and said question would now be
IN order.
4 Samse reported that the we'll on the Zinn
place had been abandoned at depth OF %
feet.
Cahill said that the question was not so
much one of where to get water but how to
get at it; that we have plenty of water, but
can we make excavation enough to supply
our wants.
Wilson took decided standpoint on Mau.
NEE river water.
Ludwig said he did not see why we
couldn't use river water.
Vandenbroek thought that we could do
the same rs Defiance and Toledo and they
we're both using river water.
Wilson then moved that the council use the
Maumee river as a basis of supply.
Cahill thought that the council was not
ready for such motion; so did Reiser, and
that the council should prospect for water in
all sections before resorting to river water.
The question of the purity of river and
we'll water was discussed and the mayor was
of the opinion that the water obtained from
ordina, y wells was no criterion by which to 60
in case excavation were made to procure the
immense amount of water necessary for a
corporation supply.
Wilson said that the council had done
nothing but prospect for water; that other
towns voted on waterworks and the plant
was in operation short time after, why
can't we do the same?
The Mayor asked for second to council,
man Wilson's motion and as there was none
the motion was dropped.
Ludwig wanted to prospect for water on
the old tile yard south of the river. The
council seemed IN favor of this and motion
was made to that effect and carried, all vo.
ting in the affirmative except Wilson.
1t was also moved and ca rried that the
council meet on the ground Tuesday morn
ing and select point for sinking this last
we'll.
Cahill moved that some of our river water
be sent to chemist for analysis. The mo-
tion carried.
A point that gave the supply from wells a
black eye was made by Wilson and sup.
ported by the Mayor in that, the people
wanted and would use many tines more soft
water than hard and that while river water,
filtered, would answer the purpose of both
we'll water could not be used for washing
purposes.
The mayor said that the action of thu
council would not necessitate another meet
ing before next Monday night.
