Lima Northern.
Will Napoleon Sleep While the
Line Passes to the East
Of Us?
1t Will Require Action, and That
Quickly, to Secure NapO-
leon the Road.

The Lima Northern railroad stands
knocking at the door of Napoleon, Z
but from present appearances will
not be allowed to enter on account OF
apathy on the part of our citizens.
This state of affairs should not ex-
ist for certainly our past experiences
have taught the citizens of Napoleon
differently, and we should profit by
the sad lessons learned at such a great
price.
Some years ago the road that is
now known as the Clover Leaf asked
for admittance to Napoleon, to which
appeal our citizens turned a deaf ear
until it was too late, when the full ex.
tent of our loss beamed upon US, and
Napoleon would have given thrice
over what was first asked of 1t to
change the course of the road so as
to take in our beautiful little city.
But it was too late. Our day of grace
had been allowed to go by, and no
amount of money could bring it back.
1t is said history repeats itself, and
it looks very much as if 1t would do
so in this case. And 1t certainly will
if the citizens of Napoleon and vicln-
ity do not wake from their lethargy,
and that, too, quickly.
A definite proposition has been
made to the citizens of Napoleon by
the Lima Northern Railroad and q
guarantee given that the road would
pass through Napoleon if certain aid
was given it. L this was. not forth
coming within stated time, the roaG
would be located to the east of US, and
Napoleon again sidetracked, as it has
allowed itself to be time and again.
This state Of things cansbe avoided
by our citizens throwing off theil
seeming indifference to the import
ance of this new railway line and 60.
, ing to work to raise the amount O
money asked Of US and securing thu
fourteen miles of right of way, This
can be done by each individual put
! ting his shoulder to the wheel anc
add his strength, let it be great o.
little, toward pushing the car of prog
ress forward.
Will we do this? Or will the citi
, zens rather remain luke warm and in
different, and see this important rail-
way line pass to the east? For thu
line is going to be built, in fact it il
being built now!
The NORTHWEST raises its voice il
thunder tones and answers No! Mo-!
NOt!! Ten tn ousand times No.
Citizens of Napoleon awake to youl
own interests.

To BE Redeemed.

The County Commissioners call for
the redemption of thirteen of the
kafida Pike gravel road bonds,
$4,000, for redemption. These bonds
are due Nov. 1st.
The commissioners are also trying
to get hold of some twenty thousand
dollars worth of Napoleon township
road bonds, as the money is in the
treasury to redeem that amount of
bonds. But these bonds are not yet
due and the holders seem loathe to
let them go, at fair premium.

the Brick cemetery. A large crowd
of friends followed his little remains
to their resting place. Indeed few
were his days of sojourn in this world
of sin and sorrow.
Only gone little while before,
Across the narrow sea,
Gone to join the maichless chorus,
Where the siuless spirits be,
Gone by gentle warning,
In childhood budding prime,
Toa brighter fairer morning,
Beyond the shores Of time,
CARDS OF THANKS.
The parents desire to express their
sincere thanks to neighbors and
friends for their kindness during the
sickness and death of their little
son, Charles Bevelhymer. Also to
the Bethel Sunday School for furn-
ishing flowers. ~

fore the approach of an electric
storm, sometimes as long as four DAYS,
he suddenly becomes drowsy and all eff
forts to awaken him are futile until after
the storm has passed and the electrically
charged air has given way to a clearer at
moSphere. His eyesight has never been
strong SINCE and he is obliged to wear a
cap that comes well down over his fore
head, and is provided with peak.
In talking with the writer recently, Mr..
Clothier expressed the opinion that had he
been covered with dirt as soon as anima-
ton had been restored he would not now
be troubled with the sensations that pre-
cede the arrival of a thunder storm. He
added that he believes his is the only case
of its kind on record. He is Canadian by
birth, but came to this country when only
seven years of age, his parents moving to
New York state. He came west as a young
man, and served during the late war as a
member of company G, thirty-first Iowa
volunteers On the close of the war he re-
turned TO Iowa, and has resided there ever
since.
The flash that struck him killed the horse
after 1t had passed down his body, leaving
scars-dark, red. angry scars-as plain to-
day as they were twenty-five years ago.
The course pursued in restoring him to
life was very similar to that pursued with
artificial respiration a basis Had this
not been resorted to there is no manner of
doubt that Mr.. Clothiers body would have
been lying in its grave for quarter of
century. He would not have returned to
consciousness.
His case goes to prove that electricity as
a death-dealing agency is not to be de-
pended upon. 1t may be terrible in its in
tensfty and power, but by no means is 1t
certainly and instantaneously fatal-or neo-
essarily fatal at all

A Menace to the Public Health Comes
In the Guise of TriGing Disorder.
Since the first outbreak Of the grip, several
years ago, the disease has been carefully studied.
1t has not improved on acquaintance. 1t Is still
regarded as one Of the most treacherous and
dangerous Of maladies, all the more to be feared
because it most often comes in the guse of a
simple cold. Its true character is not always
recognized until the victim lies moaning with a
pain that presses on every organ and strikes to
the very bone.
The grip fastens itself upon people who worry,
work too much, eat too much or too little, ex-
pose themselves to cold and wet and SO get to
be weak, hin-bIooded and down. Clearly,
the way to avoid the grip is to overcome the
conditions producing it. The efficacy OF SOUND
alcoholic stimulant is generally admitted, ana
the peculiar advantages Of Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey make it the most successful Of all pre-
ventive remedies.
A sneeze, a cough and a slight chill are the
first symptoms Of grip They indicate defective
circulation aid general weakness. Strength ap-
petite and full regular circulation follow the use
Of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. The insidious
little cold becomes anything more serious,
and in few days it goes away altogether. Good
radiance to 1t.
The grip is now prevalent in the northern and
eastern states. and the weather has favored Its
progress. 1t il likely to stick until spring. HOW
to cure it Is interesting question. How 10
prevent is no longer q question at all.

Indians and Negroes.
Said by n Child.

From the New York Tribune.
Pious thoughts with tender years some
times produce amusing results. Wilson,
six years old, got among his Christmas
presents a. child'S Bible. Wilson Is not an
angel. For that matter he Is several de-
grees removed from an angelic state, but
he has become fascir ated with his Bible. He
wants Sunday school readings morning,
noon and night seven days in the week.
Especially does he want them at night. 1t
may be said here that he loathes going to
bed and he detests going to sleep.
One of Wilson's unangelic habits Is lying
awake after he has been put to bed, sing
ing talking to himself, reciting French
verses and calling for drinks of water.
After he had suffered from a particularly
violent attack Of unangeltc spirit the other
evening" his mother went to the door Of
his little sleeping room.
My son." she said. you must so to
Sleep"
tits no use for me to try to go to sleep,
mamma" he answered sweetly. 81 can't
do anything but just lie here and think Of
Jesus and the angels"
Wilson may be very bad, but his judg-
ment of himself is extremely accurate.
Mamma" he said. thoughtfully, on an
other evening, II guess 1 have been pretty
bad today"
ooh, not very bad" said his mother.
How DID," he asked abruptly, lis the
SUM-"
"Oh, over a million years, suppose"
"And the moon?' =
"over million, too. suppose"
"And God-how old is God?'
"Well-ar-He is older than the moon, Of
course, and the sum-"
Yes" said Wilson, with sigh, that's
the trouble. He's too old for me. I guess
that's why we don't get along better!'

Midst of Salt Water,

From the ST. Louis Republic.
In regard to the fresh water ponds" or
Shoals of green water" which were dis
covered in the Gulf of Mexico in IS94,I have
gathered the following facts: The first and
larger of the two is only about ten miles
from the mouth of the Mississippi, and is
believed to be an immense spring, such as
would result from the opening of an I'M
derground river. This belief is based On
the fact that at about the center Of the
pond or fresh water patch there is sand
cone-the gulf water at the apex Of the
cone being only fifty-four feet deep, while
in all directions from it the depth is from
GOO to 900 feet. The other fresh water
patch is about twenty-five miles from the
mouth of the Mississippi, in q degrees
south latitude. IS degrees and 20 minutes
west. The best theory that has been adj
vanced to account for them is that they are
the mouths of enormous underground and
submarine rivers which have their sources
in the Rocky mountains. Such under
ground rivers have been tapped at many
points in Texas. Indian territory and KAN
sas and an old sea captain, engaged in
Central American trade, says that the fact
of such streams bursting forth in the bot
tom of the gulf has been known for CEN
fury.
