A WORD TO THE COUNCIL.

Unless the signs of the times be mis-
taken, we will soon have touch oi
the cholera. New York has a case
and New York is but "a hours
travel from Napoleon. There is NO
need to become frightened as cholers
is not necessarily fatal, yet all will
acknowledge the discretion in prompt
action both in preventing the scourge's
advent among US, and if the worst
comes, in being prepared to contest
its dreaded presence at every step.
The hand that controls this COM
work is that Of the village
t
Some time since this body deemed it
to dispense with the servi-
ces of a health officer. Whether or
not the officer in question was an un.
necessary quanty then, there is no rea-
son for such belief now. A health
officer should be appointed before the
setting of another sun. The selection
should be one fearless in the discharge
of his duty, and he should be given
unstinted power to proceed at once
and renovate the town.
The cleansing of Napoleon should
be general. No one will object to the
expense. All alleys should be clean
ed and disinfected, sewers flushed, Of
fal and garbage destroyed, and vigi-
liant eye directed towards meat markets
and other places of business where
goods are subject to decay.
The council has full control in has.
tening sanitary measures and to the
council the people look for protec-
ton.

ONLY$l600.

IT is to be deeply regretted that the
Kalida Pike Improvement shows un-
mistakable signs of dying while max
ing gigantic efforts to be born, 80 to
speak. We are informed that only
$1,000 more in subscriptions is neces-
sary to establish the pike, and yet
many property owners along the
route hold back and refuse to increase
their subscribed pittances; and few
disgraceful cases are noted of absolute
refusal to contribute cent.
1t can hardly be conceived where Ii
eth the brains of such individuals.
They are not only acting directly
in opposition to their own interest,
but the county at large is made the
sufferer thereby, for if this project is
thwarted, gravel roads all over the
county will be laid on the shelf for
years hence.
Flatrock township can not be asked
to defray more than two-thirds of the
cost by taxation from the fact THAT the
proposed improvement is not centrally
located. But it should assume two
thirds of such cost, while the other
third should be forthcoming from
property owners along the route.
The improvement, If accomplished,
will be one of the greatest as we'll as
the most beneficial in the history OF
the county. 1t is a matter of almost
vital Importance. Then, gentlemen
along the route, do not let q few dol
lars stand in your own light. Sub
scribe literally for the project and
thereby become your own benefactor
You will be doubly and trebly recon-
pensed.

PROHIBS.
Hold Their County Convention
in Napoleon,
And With Lots of Enthusiasm Die.
tate a Ticket to Be Entered
This Fall. ....

The crowd that assembled at the
court house to score the rum traffic
last Saturday afternoon was not of the
most extensive dimensions but those
who were there seemed earnest and
alive to the interests of their party.
The convention convened at 1890 a.
m. by electing Prof. w. 7. Chapman
chairman and Ephraim Hollopeter
secretary.
The Grellton Glee Club rendered
some artistic music, followed with
prayer by Rev. Sedlinger.
A committee on nominations was
appointed and consisted of Martin
Switzer, Rev. Sedlinger and w. J..
Overhulls.
The committee on resolutions was
Rev. Ballmer and Mesdames Town
send and Barnes.
Thomas Roberts, former treasurer of
the association, having died during
the year, it was proposed to elect a
successor The proposition was favor
able to aimajority and E. B. Roberts
was assigned the Office by acclamation.
Mrs. Townsend reported the condi-
tion of the county from prohibition
stand point. Her talk was very
interesting and demonstrated her
ability to hold an audience any length
of time.
After her treatise the convention
adjourned for dinner.
At promptly 1880 p. m. the con.
ventionists were in their seats listening
to Grellton's musical talentas eviden-
ced by the glee club.
The committee on nominations
reported the ticket found above and
the same was ratified by the conven-
zion with just enough opposition to
make it interesting. The opposition
consisted chiefly of doubling
Thomas or twos relative to the
prohibition faith Of some of the names
recommended by the committee.
After all difficulties in that direction
were adjusted the ticket was accepted.
The Resolutions.
The Committee on resolutions
reported by expressing its entire
approval ofthe state platform of tie
party and especially commended its
national spirit and the breadth Of view
fall matters pertaining to political
interests Of our county. They held
that there is no platform before the
American people that can at all COM
pare with it for exact correctness in all
that pertains to the great cause of the
nation-the traffic in intoxicating
liquors. It points its battling guns
sufficient for Its entire obstruction; and
that as it has been manifested by
Divine Providence to be His will to
promote Mr.. Thomas Roberts to the
ranks up higher that 1--WE, as members
of the Henry Co. Prohibitions club do

with the friends of the deceased and

and fully trust that his sweetness Of
spirit and true worthy sympathy for
the fallen and tempted may descend

Denison Texas the Scene o
Four Brutal Murders.
The Assassin Has Made His Escape
but Efforts to Capture Him
Are Being Made by the
Enraged Citizens.

DENIsoN. May 20.-Denison has wit
messed night of horror. Between IL
o'clock p. N. and $3.50 a. m. an assassin
brutally shot and killed four women,
two of them leaders of local society, and
and two inmates of disreputable houses.
The first victim was Mrs Haynes,
wife of DR.. Henry Haynes, one of Deni-
sons most prominent and respected cit.
liens, in both business and social life.
Mrs. Haynes was assassinated while
alone in her home, or else taken forcibly
from it and put to death by her captor
outside and near the house. The resi-.
dence of DR.. Haynes is just ontside the
city limits, on WoodlaWn boulevard,
two miles southwest of the city hall.
Five hours later, in the heart of the
city, beautiful young lady, Miss Tee
ME Hawley, was also shot and killed by
some unknown person. Miss Hawley
was killed without a word of warning
in the privacy of her room, in her moth
er's cottage home.
Between the hours when these foul
assassinations occurred, in still and
far distant section of the city, two
women were laid low by an assassin's
bullet. These last two were inmates of
bagniOs.
The assassin shot and killed Mrs
Haynes during the absence of her hus-
band at an Elk lodge. When his vic
tim was dead, the murderer took her
gold watch and chain, diamond ear
rings, and proceeded to the Hawley res
idence, where he shot Miss Hawley,
who was seated on the bed with her
mother when the assassin's bullet came
through the screen. The murderer had
previously entered the girls sleeping
room, whence she fed to her mother for
protection.
The assassin then directed his steps to
the bagnio of Madame Rivers, where he
fired through the window killing Maude
Kramer. After this he crossed to th9
next street, where he mortally wounded
Rose Stewart, who was ready to reti"e
to her room at Madame Williams. T .
fatal shot was fired from the sidewalk,
the ball entering beneath the right
arm.
These foul murderers have created in
tense excitement, which is increased by
the fact that there is no clue to tne
criminal Hundreds of armed men are
searching for the murderer, aided by
the sheriff and county officers. Blood
hounds have been brought into service,
but so far without success. Several
arrests have been made, but the guilty
man is believed to be still at large.

an employe Of the farms, loans and

who had testified that political pressure
had worked to the detriment of the bu
reau by causing unjust inequalities in

ence, resumed his testimony before the

been used in the work of furthering
statistics of population. 1t was com
mon that when persons wanted more
pay they went to their congressman in
stead of to the chief Of the division in
