The surprise was admirably arranged by
Miss Valeria Haller and was complete sue

it.

fifty-five years and is known by nearly ey-
cry body in the city. Despite her age she is
well and active and has not gray hair o n
her head. She has living six children, thirty.

SUCCESS
Follows the Efforts at the 18th Reg't
Band Fair.

The l6lh Regiment Band has record for
never doing things by halves. II generally
follows the old motto, ''Re sure you're
right" etc. and its success in very long
list Of undertakings testify TO the level heads
that have control OF the bands management.
The baud fair given on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday evenings of last weeK follow
ed in the same path Of triumph as prior af-
fairs Of like nature.
Thursday evening grand musicale was
given by the band consisting of the latest
and choicest selections, tho rendition of
which was, of course, highly appreciated by
all present. The turnout, however, on this
evening was not very large owing to the ex-
treme inclemency of the weather.
But whatever shortcomings in this direc-
tion were noted on the first evening, were
lost sight of in the immense thronR that
crowded the Rink Friday evening. The
principal attraction on that date was the
"Deestrick Skule." Frost Fisk was school
master and right ably was he supported by
the pupils, Misses Anna and Emma Evers,
Jessie Raidle, Elsie Bradley and Bob Dit
tenhayer; Messrs. Chas. Mus ser, Frank
Rummell, Luther Donahey, Willie Crocket,
Honeck and Harvey Davis visitors. The
play was replete with ludicrous scenes, and
was intensely realistic of school forty years
ago. 1t was greatly applauded at each sue
cessive hit, and that the audience was high
ly pleased, states the case exactly.
Saturday evening was filled in with the
Lime Kiln Club" under supervision of Ce.
Gil Hi Henry Bradley. 1t was a minstrel
show, and the singing, dancing and gags
were all up to the standard of home talent.
The booths were three in number; Fancy
presided over by Mesdames Amelia Cary, G
E, Reynolds, j.. O. Saur and D. Wilson
Domestic, Mrs. DR.. Bloomfield and Mrs. J
Roller; Candy, Misses Jean Reynolds, Sadie
Hartman and Jennie UIrich. These stations
were truly bowers of beauty, and the receipt,
go to show that the managers of each wert
good financiers as we'll as ladies of taste.
The merchants were, with but exceptions
very liberal, and it was of course through
them and their generous donations that the
financial success is mostly due.
Among other donations we notice ] sui
of $40 clothes by H. Meyer; $40 pants by s

School Cards.

Saur & Balsley have received and placed
on sale new and complete line of school
cards which are very attractive and will be
sure to please the children. Teachers should
examine this fine lot of cards before making
their purchases; we are quite sure that If
they will do so they will not only be able to
make selections which will please them very
much but they will save money for the rea-
son that this lot of cards is put upon the
market at lower prices than any whicH have
ever been offered in this market before.
This house also carries nice line of gift
books, which are nicely bound and illustrat-
ed so as to make them very attractive, at
such low prices that every teacher can af-
ford to buy few of them for the purpose of
making presents to scholars or friends.

it takes twelve years for this great planet to

WANTS A DIVORCE.
And She'll Getit, Though Not on Her
Own Petition.

The Thomas-Stout elopement has pass
ed through all phases usually attending
such escapades.
Cora Stout made her appearance last
week before Cahill & Donovan, and par
TALLY paralyzed those gentlemen with as
tonishment by asking that they secure for
her divorce
This request in the face of long newspa-
per articles in every paper herabouts con-
cerning her evil ways, savored not little
of the ridiculous aid she was not long in
finding it out.
She was under the impression, she said,
that divorce could always be had by ask
ing for it.
Later on she wrote her deserted husband
a letter in which she intimated that she
was about to begin divorce proceedings,
and asked him to meet her in Napoleon as
soon as possible. 1t was Monday before
George got around, and conference was
held. but husband and wife failed to come
to an understanding.
Gaining nothing by this interview, she
left in the afternoon for Toledo, where she
will remain with relative, Mrs. Boiler,
until the divorce suit is ended.
Where her lover, Thomas, has betaken
himself, is question somewhat battling in
its nature. 1t was first reported that he
had left for the state of Washington in
company with Mrs. Stout. but her presence
in Napoleon refutes such statement, and
she is most positive in her assertion that
she did not leave Florida with him nor did
she see him after his departure from that
place.
Several parties from Pe!tisyille were in
town yesterday aud claim that Thomas is
living with his family, despite the avail
anche of scandal in circulation.

The Crinoline Fad,

The crinoline fad has already reached the
larger cities and, no doubt, will soon strike
Napoleon. Men will then be required to
leave the sidewalk and take to the roadway.
It is proposed to introduce the nuisance by
degrees so that the shock may not be SO
great as if the fair sex we're to jump into
hoop skirts at once. The change. it is said,
was brought about by the large dress goods
houses in order to boom business. The
idea of the revival, however, came from
Paris. An effort is being made to keep
crinoline at distance, but the fad is sure
to come and men can make up their minds
that the girls will soon be floating around,
driving them into the cutters and requiring
conversation to be carried on at distance
of aavaral feet

Royal Time.

John Flogaus, of west Napoleon township,
proved conclusively his ability to do the
handsome last Wednesday. According to
previous plans he hitched up his commo-
dious bobsled and driving to Napoleon re-
turned to his pleasant home with merry
crowd of brother and sister church MEM
bers. The afternoon and evening was made
no of social time such as only can be had
when thorough good will pervades the en-
tire party.
At supper time feast was submitted by
Mrs. Flogaus which for completeness and
delicacy fairly outrivaled the old time
Lucullus lay outs and was enough to make
the average epicure howl with delight.
After pleasant evening the party was
brought back, not, however, withouttender.

Needed improvements.

Lumber for floor and steel stringers are
on the ground for the river bridge improve
ment. The repairs cannot be completed
any too soon for convenience and security of
travellers. The old fl ;or is single one and
in many places boards are worn entirely
through leaving almost space enough for
a horse's foot. Indeed, it is wonder that
ERE this the county has not had several
suits for damages on its hands. The new
floor will be double thickness supported by
steel stringers, the latter, it is calculated,
remedying greatly certain quaking that
has always been noted. Our bridge is one
of the finest in the State and every dollar
spent in its repair is well invested.

Ill Luck.

Saturday our grocer F. g. Fisk played two
games of hard luck. While about to enter
Saur's bank in the morning, he slipped and
fell striking the hard sidewalk with pro-
nounced force. He was picked up in semi
conscious condition and taken into the
bank. No bones were broken but the fall
was a severe one and might have proven se-
rious. The second game was played in the
afternoon when he clipped the end of his in
dex finger off in the beef cutter slick and
clean. The rest of the day he devoted to
studying what was coming next.
