A Large Reward,

The large rewards offered in the way of
good goods and low prices are being appre-
ciated more and more every every day by
those who patronize Saur & Balsey's Paint
and Wall Paper Store. They make special
effort to procure the very best goods and the
lowest prices the market offords and in turn
again to give their customers the benefit of
whatever advantages they may have gained
in thisldirection. Their stock of wall paper,
ceiling papers and house decorations is in
deed large and varied, and needs to be seen
to be appreciated. Nearly all who have tax
en- the trouble to look these papers over
have not only gone away perfectly satisfied,
but have taken small sale with them even
before they we're ready or expected to buy.
This house also carries one of the largest
and most complete stock of paints in all
shades and colors in general use which can
be found anywhere, and which they guaran-
tee to be pure and reliable in every way, hav-
ing stood the severest tests for years which
human ingenuity could apply.

The Toledo Commercial contains the fol-
lowing report of a court decision on the mat
ter of the disputes of the ownership of church
property by the rival U. B. church factions.
A Defiance county case made test case and
the conservatives have won;
An opinion has been rendered by Judge
Taft, of the United States court, in the case
of Homer Brundoge and others vs David
Deardorf, j. w. Lilly and others, which will
be of unusual interest to the members of the
United Brethren denomination. The action
was brought about by a division in the
church on the secret society question, which
resulted in the congregation of Fairview
United Brethren church of Hicksville town
ship, Defiance county, electiDg rival boards
of trustees. The plaintiffs represent the con-
sentative element, which opposes secret
societies, and the defendants are the trus-
tees elected BY the progressive or liberal
wing, j. W. Lilly, the pastor, who afiliates
with the latter.
The question of the United Brethren
church removing the ban against secret
societies was first agitated in 1885, but no
action on the question was taken by the
church at large until in 1889, when the men,
bership of the denomination numbered over
5000. The question of amending the con-
stitution of the church and revising the con-
fession of faith was brought no in the gen.
eral conference of that year, and was ap-
proved, subject to confirmation by a vote of
the members The conservative wing
claims that due notice of the election was not
given, and offers as proof of the absence OF
such notice the fact that less than one fourth
of the members voted upon the question
The bishops of the church decided in favor
of the progressive branch, as thirds OF
the votes cast were for a revision. The two
factions did not harmonize at all places, but
it remained for Fairview church to test the
validity of the vote in the courts. The trus.
tees Of the conservative wing filed bill il
the United States court for decision as to
the succession Of property rights, and to de-
clare the defendants-the progressive ele
ment-a seeding portion, and no longer en-
titled to claim the benefits of the origina
organization. In handing down his opinion
Judge Taft says that the vote was not tht
expression of the opinions of the majority o.
the membership and consequently null an(
unlawful. "That those who refuse to abide
by the original church compact must he helt
to have withdrawn from the church, aut
have lost rights of membership. 1t follow
that the majority of the conference in 18S
has ceased to be and to represent the tru
church, and that those who adhere to the oil
constitution-among whom are the com
plainants-remain the only true representa-
tives of the United Brethren in Christ, whic
the court can recognize as entitled to asser
its property rights"
The defendants are allowed 50 days il
which to file an answer. Meanwhile the fac
tions of the Fairview church cannot be ex
pected to dwell in harmony and AS one fac
ton as the victory and the other the preach
or and the keys to the church, the term
"Fairview" and "United Brethren" will b.
vile township.

Ice Making-How 1t is Made by. Ma
chinery.


As many towns in Ohio are putting in ice
manufactures it will not be out of place to
give an idea how artificial ice is made.
Not very many. years ago, the man who
would be 80 foolhardy as merely to sug-
gest the possibility of making ice during the
heated term, would quickly be put in posi-
tion where mere cracked ice would not
ameliora,e his miseries. Now, however, he
is regarded, and justly, as public benefac-
tor.
The modus operandi is as follows: AS is
we'll known, ammonia gas is one of the
greatest absorbents of heat known. Furth-
or, salt brine, though the temperature can
he lowered amazingly, will not freeze. A
clever combination of these opposite ele-
ments produces the crystal ice you see upon
the streets every day.
A huge tank, divided into small compart-
ments by pipes filled with ammonia gas,
contains an immense quantity Of brine.
Into this tank square cans are dropped, each
containing enough distilled water to make
about 200 pounds of clear ice. The gas,
flowing through the pipes. lowers the tenn
perature of the surrounding brine until the
clear water in the cans congeals into ice.
The gas, flowing back to the retort. is used
again and again, with no cessation of
the steady stream. A temperature of from
10 to 12 degrees above zero proves better for
ice making purposes than when the mercury
| is lower.

A Minnesota judge has just decided that a
dentist cannot maintain lien on set of
false teeth after they have been placed in the
mouth of the person for whom they were
made. It was claimed that the Sheriff could
seize the teeth and dispose Of them at pub

as the teeth are in the defendants mouth,
they are part of his body and cannot be at
tached as chattels, There are also some good
reasons why false teeth would not sell very

Since the opening of the Worlds Fair
there has been large increase in the travel
through st. Louis. The crowed condition
Of the Chicago terminals and the consequent
difficulty in getting baggage transferred
promptly has resulted in a very marked
preference being shown by travellers for
routes through st. Louis. This is conspicu-
ously the case with passengers travelling
across the Continent, but it is all noticeable
in traffic to and from all points. The popu-
larity of st. Louis routes betU cen various
large centers is likely to be considerably in
creased in consequence of this reflection

men who advertise and invite your patron
age. No community that does otherwise
can have the same measure of prosperity as

That policy which leads people to &C abroad
for what they can get at home is in almost all
cases loss and an injury in the end. Pat
ronize home Institutions that invite your
