ANDY SAUER is FREE.
CIRCUIT COURT REVERSED THE DE-
CISION.
Unanimous Ruling That the
Judge of the Common Pleas
Court Erred.
Especial to the Bee.l


DEFIANCE, o., Feb. 5.-The Circuit
Court to-day reversed the verdict OF
the Common Pleas Court in the case
of the State VS.. Andrew Sauer for
perjury, and ordered a new trial.
The case was argued on Tuesday,
but the judges reserved their decision
until to-day.
Their ruling was unanimous.
Sauer was accused of swearing to
statement of the condition OF the saw
ings bank which he knew to be false.
The defense set up the claim that
Sauer had not signed the statement
before the notary and had not been
sworn to it, and the notary would not
say whether Sauer had sworn to the
statement or not,
The Jury, however, brought in a
verdict of guilty and Sauer was
sentenced to four years in the peni-
tentiary.
The Circuit Court ruled that the
Judge of the Common Pleas Court
had erred in his charge and that the
jury did not bring in verdict in ac-
cordance with the testimony.
This means that the case against
Sauer will be nollied and that he will
not have to stand trial again on the
charge of perjury.

After the usual periodical blast against
the wild extravaganza with which Mrs.
Clatterby manages the household affairs,
the burning of two bundles Of wood where
one would do, and so on, Mr.. Clatterby
winds up with;
I'D just like to have the running of
this house for about one week. I'd show
you what could be done. There's no end
OF little things that we might economize
on, and every little helps. Now we're get
ting an extra quart of milk day. That's
only cents day, but that's $25 year,
enough to buy shoes for all the children,
and stockings too. Why, gracious! there
lots of things we might cut off and never
miss 'em at all. "
"Well, Jonas" said Mrs. Clatterby,
Suppose you try it and see what you can
do You take the money this week. and
you run the house. If you think you can
run this house on what you give me and
buy clothes for the children and pay the
laundry and the gas and the 40 other

about, why, you re nightly mistaken. But

LIVING A LA JAPONA!SE.
Simple and Delightful and Very Cheap Is
the Housekeeping In Japan.

Simple and Delightful and Very Cheap In
the Housekeeping In Japan.
do not know of anything simpler
and more delightful than housekeeping
in Japan-if you live la Japonaise. I
myself determined to try it, and hav-
ing found suitable spot to settle in,
on the highest hill in Tokyo, proceed
ed to engage a native servant, who was
also to be my adviser as to how to fur
nish my establishment in strictly Japa-
nese fashion. The furnishing was COM
pleted in less than ten minutes, and
here are some of the principal items of
which it consisted: Two foutangs, or
thin mattresses, between which one lies
at night, and makura, wooden pill
low, or rather an instrument of torture
for the first few nights, furnished my
bedroom; q hibachi, or brass brazier,
with chopsticks to stir the fire with, and
q water kettle made the hall cozy, and
q little lacquer table, a foot square and
about inches high, with couple Of
tiny little plates and q bowl, made the
dining room quito complete and replete
with every comfort Two, silk cushions
were placed in the sitting room for dis
tinguished guests to sit on.
"Ah," said to my servant, "bUt do
you not think that shall need some
thing more?" as to my European mind
what had purchased seemed somewhat
insufficient to furnish IL roomed
house.
"No, sir, said he in his broken Eng
lish, real Japan gentleman has no fur
niture." Upon which I began to feel
rather sorry to have emulated the "Ja-
pan gentleman. Still l thought would
go on for the fun of the thing, and,
though I must confess as went round
my new abode my rooms did not look
overfurnished, decided to make the
| best of what l had got. 1t is astonish-
ing with how little one can do if one
tries and how much better penury is
than profusion. When couple of days
had elapsed, almost began to feel that
l had furnished my house too richlyl I
could certainly have done with deal
less. .-Fortnightly Review.

Sickroons.

A medical journal urges, sensibly
enough, that in the present extravagant
expenditure in house building little
money should be laid out in arranging
for sickroom, built on the sunny side
and equipped with at least the simple
means for isolation and care of sick
person. Ventilation should be we'll con-
sidered. The walls may be of washable
material-paint tiles or covered with
waterproof bath paper. The plumbing
should be out Of but convenient to it.
A little of the time and money invested
in libraries, bathrooms and oriental Far
lors spent on an apartment whose use in
an emergency not unusual to frail hu-
manity may insure the comfort and
safety to the family that is necessary to
the enjoyment Of the more luxurious

WHO is DOING IT?
The Question Which Everybody is
Asking.
1t May be the Wheeling 81 Lake
Erie Road Backed by q Power
full Company from the East that
is Planning the Little Road from
Deshler to Montpelier.

The new railway, although still in
embryo, is not looked upon as an un-
known quantity in the least. Every
day something turns up which makes
it look more ana more like sure
thing. There is considerable stir be-
ing made in railroad circles in eastern
Ohio for control of roads running
west. One of these projects, of which
the road from Deshler to Montpelier
is part, is now being pushed by the
Wheeling s. Lake Erie road. A pow
erful company is said to be behind
the Wheeling & Lake Erie, a com
pany that represents 5000 miles of
track. The plan of this company is
to organize a trunk line between New
York and Chicago via Pittsburg. This
plan has been contemplated for
months and has got beyond a mere
paper scheme. Recently 90 miles of
road and large dockage privileges
were innocently swallowed up in
Pittsburg Several small lines in
Ohio have recently been bought up
without any apparent reason until
now the proper parties have every
thing just as they want it as far west
as Toledo. This is apparent even to
outsiders. The only thought of route
west from there or rather the only
route which Is being worked is across
to Montpelier from Napoleon This
would give the Wheeling 81 Lake
Erie western outlet for their great
coal traffic. The road we are positive
ly assured will be built and the ques-
ton which now puzzles us is, by
whom2 Things are fast coming to a
head and in few days, or weeks at
most, Montpelier people may be able
to know positively whether Gould,
Vanderbilt or some other railway
magnate will control the Napoleon,
Deshler & Northwestern Railroad
Montpelier Leader.

GET RICH.

much like the doctors, when he
advised the poor man to take
sea voyage; or the poor woman
to take good nourishing food
and a glass Of port wine. We
don't need to be told to get rich
but we do need to be told how
to do it.
There are many ways to get
money. Speculation is one way.
You can buy stocks, bonds,
shares, etc.. but all this re-
quires capital to start with, and
you have none, we will sup
pose. Then you must begin
saving money, but this only
shifts the shoe that pinches to
the other foot. How to save
money is nearly as great a prob
lem as how to get rich. 1t is
very well to say, "save mon
ey." That is what we started
out to tell you and everybody,
how money saved on your nee
essary expenses may lay the
foundation for fortune for you;
and you can save money every
time you trade by buying cheap.
That's no news, you will
probably say. Of course you
can save by buying cheap. You
could also fly if you had wings.
You can do anything if you
know how. You are quite
willing to save on your buying
if you know where to CO.
That's what we are getting at.
We would not waste your time
by offering all this advice with
out having a practical end in
view. If you want to buy
goods at prices which will save
you much money don't fail to
visit the large drug and book
house of Saur & Balsley. You
can not only save big money
on the necessary medicines
which your family need dt this
especial season of the year, but
also on wall and window pa
pers, paints, oils, varnishes and
brushes. While the season is
drawing near when it becomes
necessary to lay in new stock
of these goods, our stock on
hand is composed of the very
latest patterns and best goods
in the market, but will be sold
at a great sacrifice in order to
make room forour spring stock.
Our book trade was never more
fourishing, now that books
are so cheap, and those in need
of good reading material for
the home should not fail to look
over Saur & Balsley's display
Of all manner Of books and pc.
riodicals.
A call on Saur & Balsley will
never come amiss. It is money
in your pocket every time.
Now is the time to lay in youl
