although it is move more or less taken in
hand by all who desire to see it successful.

Reautiful Houses.

Many old houses have been made to
look very beautiful with the paints and wall
paper purchased at Saur q Balsley's drug
and book store. It is really wonderful how
much few dollars worth of paint and paper
will add to almost any building; indeed it
adds more to the actual value even say moth
ing about durability, than anything else
which you can do with an expenditure of ten
times the amount of money which the labor
and material will cost you. Saur d Balsley
have large stock of both paints and paper
on hand. They have long since learned
this fact, that in order to make rapid sales
and many of them every day, it is very nee
essary to have strictly first-class goods and
dow prices. This house has both and those
who will take the trouble to look this stock
over before making any purchases will GER
tainly secure bargains.

DON'T YOU KISS,
Unless on Invitation, or Trouble
Awaits You.

Last October Newt. Letter and George
Denser, two of Freedom townships farmers,
were in Napoleon on a drunk. Denser
sobered up sooner than his companion and
left for home, alone.
Arriving at Letters house he went in and
found the wife in bed. She claims that he
Herewith sat down on the bed and later on
attempted to kiss her, but as she would not
permit it he went away.
About January she had him arrested for
assault and battery and the next grand jury
returned bill to that effect.
The case was up before the court Morday
and verdict of guilty returned by the jury.
The offense is punishable with fine and
Imprisonment.
Denser is very indignant at the verdict
and claims that he was not drunk, neither
did he attempt to force kiss; that as there
were no chairs in the room he sat on the bed;
that she complimented him on his stunnin'
looks and when he was about to leave in
sisted on him staying and that he merely
asked her for kiss ana that she refused only
on the ground that it would awake the baby.
Denser will probably receive the sentence
of the court to-day.

The BurChen MurdererS.
Evidence Fast Accumulating
That Will Convict Them.

The Burchell Brothers who are confined in
the Bryan Jail for the murder of Arthur
Brown are the guilty parties without the least
shadow of doubt.
Evidence is coming in every day that adds
to the long chain with no missing link that
will send them both to the annex.
Many will swear to having seen them in
company with Brown late that night; girl
remembers having seen both Burchells 60
down the alley with Brown wherein the
latter was found dead. She also heard one
of the Burchell's say, ''give it to him Burt"
A saloon keeper will testify that he sold the
accused men two bottles of beer and that the
bottles we're never returned, nor can they ex
plain where they are. Without doubt they
are the ones with which Browns head was
reduced to a pulp.
All Bryan, and IN fact, every place where
Burchells ever lived, will testify to the hard
character of both.
There is no doubt but that Burchells are
the right men and the horrible details Of the
crime as we'll as the clumsy way IN which II
was committed bring down upon the men
both horror and disgust of all acquainted
with the circumstances.

Capt. R. B. Heller, W. G. Coover ct al.
were somewhat exercised Wednesday night
about 10 o'clock by series of revolver
shots in the rear of their residences. Flashes
followed by stunnin' reports in quick sue
cession did not tend to allay their apprehen-
sion. An investigation was made next
morning and DR.. Binzley proved the cause
of their uneasniess of mind. The Doctor it
seems possessed a very good revolver and a
very bad dog and he was using the former to
eradicate the latter. The number of reports
did not reflect very favorably on the execu-
TONER'S craftsmanship. still he explains it
by saying that the last half dozen shots was

The Adjutant says that there is no COM
pany in the State whose arms and general
accouterments is in better condition. Every
gun glistened like mirror and even the
telescopic inspector failed to detect a flaw.H
After the inspection Capt. Reynolds sub.
iected the company to rigid drill in the
new tactics and then 1t was that the real
merits Of the company stood forth, every
move receiving praise from the inspection
officers and large crowd assembled.
The company is certainly In an excellent
condition due to the indefatigable labors Of
Capt. Reynolds, Lieutenants Reiter and
Augenstein and Sergeant E. L. Putt.
Col. Howe promises that next year the
company will be newly uniformed and with
out doubt will attend the Worlds Fair.
