PASS THE BILL.

We understand bill has been sent
to Representative Meyers to be passed,
empowering the mayor of Napoleon to
appoint waterworks trustees, subject
to the confirmation ofthe council. AS
its introduction has not been noticed
In the press it is no doubt in the hands
of the Judiciary committee. Napoleon
almost as a unit looks eagerly forward
to the bills passage. 1t not only re-
lieves the people from again carrying
the subject to the polls, but would in
sure competent and trustworthy of
ficiaIs which must be had during the
construction of the plant. To submit
such momentous question as selection
of waterworks trustees to hastily
called special election would not be ad-
visable.
Again, we have waited SO long for
operations to begin on the construction
of the plant, that to be compelled to
still follow an unlimited supply of red
tape before lick of work is struck,
seems like mild form of cruelty.
There are no doubt members of the
Legislature or the Judiciary committee
who will object to passage of the bill
for fear it will clash with the general
law. Supposing it does! 1t will then
be applicable to none save Napoleon,
and depend upon 1t, Napoleon is keen
for it's passage, knowing its incalculable
benefit just at this stage.
Pass the bill, Gentlemen of the Gen.
eral Assembly, thereby doing your
duty and at the same time placing
Napoleon under everlasting obliga'
tions to you. The bill is no trifline
document. 1t is stern necessity on
which the success of the waterworks
venture in Napoleon depends.

"SoME Democrats" says the Findlay
Courier, fight when they are candidates
for office. Other Democrats go out
and hustle for their party q few days
before the election. Still other Demo
Gratis never attempt to aid their party,
but are chronic croakers who sit on
their perch and complain of the men
who do the work. But the true and
faithful Democratic editor wears per-
petual harness. He never rests. Tn
winters storm and in summers heat,
he is found hurting missiles at the
enemy and repairing the works of the
Democratic party. Like other men
he grows weary sometimes, but there
is no furlong for him. Day in and day
out he is found at his post, battling for
his party and his country,

The Spring,

or all seasons in the year, is the one
for making radical changes in regard
to health. During the winter, the sys-
tenn becomes to a certain extent clogged
with waste, and the blood loaded with
impurities, owing to lack of exercise,
close CONTINENT In poorly ventilated
shops and home, and other causes.
This is the cause of the dull, sluggish,
tired feeling so general at this season,
and which must be overcome, or the
health may be entirely broken down.
Heod's Sarsaparilla has attained the
greatest popularity all over the count
ry as the favorite Spring Medicine. 1t
expels the accumulation of impurities
through the bowels, kidneys, liver,
lungs and skin, gives to the blood the
purity and quality necessary to good
health and overcomes that tired feel
ing.

BY the decision OF the county Gen.
trail committee, the Democratic County
Convention will be held on the 18th
day Of May-an earlier date by four
months than the convention was held
last year.
The Worlds Fair had much 10 do in
the selection of an early convention,
inasmuch as most everybody Is con-
templating at some time during the
six months from May 1st to October
Slst visiting the great exhibition. All
conventions will be held early this
year, and it is thought that the State
Convention will be held soon. If is,
then so far as Henry county Is concern
ed, the Democrats will have all the
conventions offther hands and stand
ready to take in the Worlds exhibition
at any time.
Early conventions do not presage a
long campaign, as the campaign will
not open until the committees Of the
two great parties determine, and it is
not likely that formal opening of the
campaign this year will be made un-
til late In the summer.
Now that the county convention is
called to meet within month, candi-
dates should bestir themselves and let
the people know their intentions. Let
them announce their names at once.
Mark we'll the day selected on which
to select delegates, and let every DEM
ocrat attend his respective caucus and
see to it that representative men are
selected as delegates.

Friday evening heavy wind rose
and was followed by heavy fall of
hail. This caused all the men 10 run to
shelter. The gang of men on one side
of the cantilevers ran into the engine
house at one end of the huge machine.
The wind increased to gale, struck
the cantilever and started it down the
track toward the engine house in which
Is men were huddled.
The top had gained such a momen-
tum that it could not be stopped, and
the enormous machine, weighing $50
tons, fell directly on the engine house.
AS result nine men were killed and
six severely wounded. The men were
all Italians except the foreman.
