A PHOsPHORATED TOE.
It May Possibly Occasion Suit
in the Divorce Courts.

A lady, previously tormented with
corn on one of her toes, was ad-
vised by friend to annoint it with
phosphorus, which in a weak mo-
ment she did, but forgot to tell her
husband before retiring at night. 1t
had just struck 10 when the husband
awoke, and Was startled to see some
thing sparkle at the foot of the bed.
He had never heard of O FREELY in
the locality, nor did he ever remem-
Der seeing such a terrible looking OBJ
tject as the toe presented. Reaching
carefully out of his bed till he found
one of his slippers, he raised it high
in the air and brought it down
with terrible force upon the mystic
rious light. A shrek and an ava
lanche Of bed clothes, and all was
over. When at last he released him
self from the avalanche he discover

ABSOLUTEEY PURE
Another Fake.
ABSOLUTELY PURE

The following is clipped from the
Chicago Record under the heading of
Work for Gov. Mckinley and
shows that the sending OF fake stories
to the city dailies, about Napoleon
and vicinity, still continues. This
story shows its own absurdity and it
has not the slightest foundation:
while Gov. Mckinley of Ohio is
travelling through the country max
ing beautiful speeches some of the
Ohio people at home are sorely in
need of attention.
Near Napoleon in that state is loca-
ted a band of ascetic religionists
known as the Amish sect. These
people are branch of the Mennonite
denomination, but they have made
less progress than some other
branches of that church. The Men
nonites are baptists in their general
belief, but their peculiarities are not
so much in their creed as in their
discipline. They do not marry out
side of their church, they abstain
from civic duties and refuse to use
the sword or take an oath. The
state is to them unchrisUian, and
they use neither its laws nor mix in
its politics. The old Amish sect, fol-
lowers OF Jacob Amman, go still
further in their extreme religious
observances; they observe foot-wash-
ing. non-resistance of evil, and dis
card the use of buttons on their
clothes, substituting the hooks, and
from this they are sometimes called
ttI nnlFnru y 1hnu rn rIIint innfTnr
sive, moral, industrious, frugal and
prosperous, nearly every one of them
being well to do.
But they have aroused some pre-
judice against themselves in Ohio by
reason of their exclusiveness. A
species of warfare has been begun
against them by their enemies. Their
buildings are burned, their crops de-
stroyed and their cattle killed by
lawless neighbors with the hope of
driving them away. This is a rather
safe proceeding, for the victims will
neither defend themselves nor in
woke the aid of the law in their be-
half If these people are to be pro-
property it must be done by other
people who oppose lawlessness NOV
ing for it's restraint or by the state
acting through the proper officers.
These people, it is reported, not only
have suffered loss of their property,
but have been whipped and sub.
jected to many sorts of personal in
suits and abuses.
Gov. Mckinley has an excellent
field for demonstrating his executive
ability in suppresslng the outrages.' J

Sad Death of Frieda Roller in
Tiffin.

Friends in Napoleon, her birth
place and old home, were startled
Friday morning to learn of the sad
death of Mrs. Fredia Roller, nee
Kobe, at her residence in Tiffin. 1t
was known that Mrs. Roller was in
poor health, but friends were not
prepared to hear of her death, which
resulted from surgical operation.
The deceased was IN the 25th year of
her age.
The remains were brought to Ma
poleon on Friday evening, and taken
to the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Kobe, onWelsted street
They were accompanied by the sor-
rowing husband and number of
Tiffin friends. The funeral took
place on Sabbath afternoon, Rev.
Strauss conducting the services, the
remains being followed to their last
resting place in Glenwood cemetery
by the largest funeral procession ev-
er seen in Napoleon.
In speaking of the death of Mrs.
Roller the Tiffin Advertiser says
Mrs. Geo. Roller died Friday morn
ing. During the past several months
the deceased had been sufferer from
various female complaints and, in Or
der to avert, so far as possible the
threatened fatal results, an operation
for loporatomy was resorted to. The
weakened condition of the invalid
failed to overcome the inevitable,
and at 4:30 o'clock Friday morning
she passed peacefully away.
Though married but compare
lively short time, the deceased, whose
former home was in Napoleon, had
been resident of Tiffin sufficiently
long to cultivate the acquaintance Of
wide circle of very warm friends,
all of whom extend sincere sympathy
to the bereaved husband and other
relatives.

tion Messrs. G. f. Jackson, d. E.

ment, with Mr.. T. s. Lingell as

A MONSTROSITY.
A Pig With Human Hands.

Mr.. Albert G. Knipp, who resides
FIVE miles south of Napoleon on the
farm of the late Peter Knipp, report
ed the birth of q monstrosity on
Saturday, in the shape of a pig,
which instead of having natural legs
and feet had three appendages which
resembles the human arm upon
which are three shapes like the hui
man hand. The other leg and foot
is natural.
This nonstrosity is one of litter
of pigs numbering fifteen, twelve of
which are living, and in all respects
it is healthy with good prospects OF
maturing. Mr.. Knipp intends to. care
for it and take all the necessary
pains to have it live, and if he is sue
cessful will exhibit the curiosity at
the Napoleon Fair this fall.

More Hitching Posts Wanted.

On somedays, Saturdays especially,
hundreds of farmers come to Napo-
leon to trade, who are unable to find
a place to hitch their teams for an
hour or two. We are in need of
more hitching places, and it would be
money in the pockets Of our business
men if some concerted action was
taken to have hitching places erect
ed where it is convenient and not
discommoding any one. Do this, and
while we are benefitting ourselves we
are at the same time favoring those
who come to Napoleon to trade.

BICYCLE NOTES.
A New Tangled Wheel For Rae
ing-This, That and the Other.

Men who have studied the bicycle
trade closely predict that the present
boom will last for at least Ave years
and possibly ten.
Many large manufacturers Of car
riages and sewing machines are con-
sidering going into the bicycle busi-
ness the coming winter.
An automatic bicycle bell has been
introduced which rings any length of
time. 1t is operated by toothed
sprocket that trips the bell hammer
as the wheel revolves.
Rev. t. Dewitt Talmage is little
late in the day with it, but he COM
mehds the bicycle as means ofphys-
ical exercise which he declares is one.
to help to moral excellence.
Logansport man is the inventor of
a new tangled bicycle, made more es-
pecially for racing. 1t has both hand
and foot power and both can be used
at the same time. The hand power
is attached to the handles, which are
worked straight up and down. The
trifie more than an ordinary racing
wheel, and gets over the ground at
lively gate.
In England what is called q perfect
costume for lady cyclers' has been
devised. The leading feature of it is

becomes a perambulating transfer

yokels may be balked at will.
The practice of "scorchers' riding
their wheels during the evening at a
terrific pace will sooner or later ter
inmate in serious if not fatal acci-
dents. The danger lies in street in
tersections when riders from opposite
directions approach at a high rate of
speed and cannot see each other un-
til collision is eminent. AS q mat

to school. Members of the board
thought that the minds of the teach
ers were concentrated more upon
their wheels than upon their work
in school. Recently the schools were
closed one afternoon at the request
of several teachers, who said it was
to hot to teach. That same afternoon
those teachers were seen riding their
bicycles through the village.
II don't see where you fellows get
much enjoyment out of bicycle, +"
said a citizen to the writer. "Just
riding there and back. / should
think it would be rather monoton-
ous.' He probably didn't stop to
think for minute that it is naonoto-
nous. The riding is not half of it.
There are tires to mend, eyer SO
many bolts and screws to keep tight
ened up, and all sorts of things to do
with the wheel, to say nothing of the
fun of going to the surgeon to get
patched up every once in awhile, or
the pure joy of running over small
boy or q dog. No fun on a wheel!

WILD LETTUCE.
Tt is Spreading With Alarming
Rapidity in This County.

The weed known as wild lettuce,
which is spreading so rapidly in this
section, should be carefully destroyed
wherever it makes its appearance.
For if it is not, it will prove a terror
to farmers and gardeners within a
very few years. 1t spreads with
greater rapidity than any other weed
or plant known, and besides this it is
difficult to get clear when once get
ting a good start. We warn the
farmers to destroy it Immediately on
its first appearance, for if they do
not they will certainly regret it.

CANALS LOW.
Lack of Water May Throw the
Mule Out of Work.

A special dispatch from Columbus
to the Commercial Gazette says:
The drouth of the present year and
the universally light rainfall of last
year have reduced the amount of
water in the reservoirs that supply
the canals, SO that navigation is IN
terfered with and promises soon
to be stopped altogether. The
Miami and Erie Canal at the north
sern end has very little water in it,
and until the water in the reservoir
rises it can not be increased.
This is an almost unprecedented
condition.
