Were Enter.prising Thieves.

TOLEDO, O., Aug. 30.-Thieves stole a
canal boat on the Miami and Erie canal
which was tied upabout thirty miles sout
of here. They next caught a horse in a
neighboring pasture, hitched him TO the
boat, and hauled it to Defiance. Here the
thieves broke into j. b. Weisenberg's ele-
vator and stole about 1850 worth of clover
seed. This they loaded into the boat, and
a start was then made for this city. Being
closely pursued after getting into the
Maumee they ran the boat ashore and es-

posse. Finding their endeavors fruit

Money, And How to Get 1t.

There is no word in the English language
more often used and universally admired
than money. In fact, it is considered the
thing altogether desired, and men to OBJ
tain it will go through all kinds OF toll and
hardships imaginable.
They will even purchase their supplies
sometimes elsewhere than at DeWitt's.
Everybody is after money and the great
desire to gain it hastily often ends in a to-
tai failure to accomplish the desired end.
About the first question ayouth asks when
he gets old enough to think about provid-
ing for the future is, where can | get the
greatest value for the least money" With
"a thousand voices as il one, the answer is
at DeWitt's, first, last and all the time, if
you want to get money, il you want to get
rich. One is by industry and economy,
and the other is by saving little by little in
you purchases by doing your trading at
DeNVitt's instead OF elsewhere. Riches ac-
cummulated by industry and economy and
the iudicious purchase OF supplies at where
the greatest value is given for the least
money never detracts from II mans dig

happiness, contentment and a clear con
science, and leaves no regrets that they
have bought their supplies at DeWitt's.
The true secret is make haste slowly, when
you are about to purchase elsewhere con
suit prices and quality and save money by
buying at DeWitt's.
In getting money it does not make SO
much difference as to what kind of bust
ness a man engages in, for any business will
pay if attended to properly. Hearing is
not seeing, investigate for yourself, where
you can get the greatest value for the
least money, and you will join the ever in
creasing number that 10 their trading at
DeWitt's. But no man should embark in
any business to which he is not adapted;
but when he does make his selection he
should so in with a steady and deter
mined purpose to win, and succeed by con
slant and persistent labor, remembering
tina the little by little" that he is saw
ing by making his purchases at DeWitt's,
is the sure way to succeed, and out of
that little "a little should be saved. Re-
Numbering also that it is by what we
save that we get rich and not by what we
make. A man may make "A million a year,
hut il he spends it all he will be no better
off ut the end of the year than he was at
the beginning; while the man who makes
live hundred ~ year and saves ten per
cent Of this by doing his trading at De-
Wits aud investing it in real estate is
getting rich. The man at twenty-five who
saves fifty dollars n year and invests the
same ia real estate is in a fair way to be
in easy circumstances when he reaches the
age OF thirty-fve. No man has yet lived
who saved his money and invested it in
real estate, that did not make money.
Therefore, the true and only certain way
of getting money is by industry, economy
and trading at De Wits, where the best
values are given for the least money, and
saving and investing the same in real
estate; and the man who follows this rule
is sure to win.

this reason the proprietors of Hostetter's

Of genuineness.
A sufficient warning to those meditating

from the deception Of these unprincipied pi-

Gay q casual observer would suppose
the gate receipts to be much larger
than they really are, but there is a
force OF several thousands of workmen.
and population of several thousands
more who are domiciled permanently

number OF paid admissions. Besides
there are the press representatives and
favored individuals in other professions
who have passes. Altogether there are
great many non-paying visitors who.
while they help to swell the crowd. do
not contribute very materially to the

There is some danger that people at a
distance who have been Influenced bv

comfort consequent upon such course.
