Du Maurier's Lost Eye.

"I was drawing from model when sud-
denly the girls head seemed to me to
dwindle to the size of a walnut clapped
my hand over my left eye. Had been
mistaken? I could see as well as ever, but
when in it's turn covered my right eye
learned what had happened My left eye
had failed me. Itmight be altogether lost
1t was SO sudden blow that was as thun-
derstruck. Seeing my dismay Van Le-
rus came up and asked me what might be
the matter, and when / told him he said
that it was nothing; that he had had that
himself and 80 on. And o doctor whom l
anxiously consulted that same day COM
forted me and said that the accident was a
passing one. However, my eye grew worse
and worse, and the fear Of total blindness
beset me constantly.
"That was the most tragic event of my
life. 1t has poisoned all my existence.
"In the 81 ling of 1859 we heard Of a
great specialist who lived in Dusseldorf,
and we went to see him. He examined my
eyes, and he said that though the left eye
was certainly lost had no reason to fear
losing the other, but that must be very
careful and not drink beer and not eat
cheese and SO on. 1t was very comforting
to know that was not to be blind, but
have never quite shaken off the terror OF
that apprehension. From a Talk With
;he Author Of "Trilby" in McClure's
| Magazine.

On Friday last the county commits
sioners let the contract for furn-
ishing the material and building the
new house on the infirmary farm.
There were three bids before the
commissioners, as follows:
J. A. Mehring, of Ridgeville, So
1894
Geo. Kraus, of Napoleon, So, ,005. 25.
A. L. Guthrie, Of Delta, $2,011.19.
Mr.. Guthrie, being the lowest bid
der, was awarded the contract. We
should like to have seen our home
man get the job, but his bid was not
the lowest. Mr.. Kraus is a good
mechanic, and would have given the
county good job. Mr.. Guthrie has
good reputation as builder, and
no doubt he too will give the county
an acceptable job.

Don't Forget Your Paints and
Wall Paper.

While you are busy planting and
cultivating your corn and doing
spring work generally, remember that
it is just as necessary to do your
painting and papering now, if you
would have first class job, as it
was of your other spring work.
Don't delay this work until hot
weather comes when you will have all
the dust and flies to contend with,
which always improves the looks of
paint as we'll as its lasting qualities.
Saur g. Balsley have invested largely,
this year in both paints and paper,
and they are offering to everybody
such bargains that they hardly need
to look elsewhere for lower prices or
better quality, for the reason that
nearly everyone who does is sure to
come back and make his purchases at
this house which not only guarantees
the quality of their paints but the
the prices also.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Regarding the Sale of Refunding
Bonds Rendered by Circuit
Court.

Circuit Court Judges Hayes,
Scribner and King sitting at Toledo,
have made an important finding af-
fecting the validity of refundlng
ing bonds and the time at which old
bonds may be taken up by the pro-
ceeds of the new bonds. The common
pleas court held that regular bonds
and refunding bonds to pay off the
former could not exist simultaneous
without creating double debt, but
the circuit court reversed the decis-
ion and holds that reasonable
length of time may intervene between
the sale of the old bonds and the tax
ing up of the bonds without involv-
ing the city in the payment of inter
est of two sets of bonds issued for a
similar purpose and running concur
rently. The decision helps out the
sale of municipal bonds.

Corporation Tax Levy Reduced.

Last year the tax levy for Napoleon
corporation was reduced III mills.
This year the levy has been placed
at II mills, reduction of J mill. Not
a heavy reduction, but reduction,
nevertheless, as almost everyone was
looking forward to an increased levy.
More especially on account of the ex-
pense of waterworks and electric

DEATH OF JUDGE LATTY.
He Passed Away at His Home i'm
this City Thursday Evening.

In the death of Judge A. s. Latty,
which occurred at 12 o'clock last
night, northwestern Ohio loses one
of its Oldest and most widely known
citizens.
Alexander Sankey Latty was born
in Ireland, June 30, 1916, and at the
time of his death was aged 70 years
and II months. From Ireland he
emigrated to Canada, where he re-
mained several years coming later to
the United States. He commenced
operations on the Maumee river in
1887, by accepting position as over
seer of force of men who were
building the Miami & Erie canal be-
tween this point and Toledo. Later
he took charge of a force of men en-
ployed in building the Paulding
reservoir. After the canal was com
pleted he located in Paulding village
where he resided for several years.
He was elected Auditor of Paulding
county and served two terms. After
wards he moved to Defiance where
he has ever since resided. In 1856 he
was elected common pleas Judge on
the Whig ticket, beating his oppon-
ent, Francis c. LeBlond by about
100 votes. He was reelected Judge
in 1861, 1866 and in 1871, holding the
Office continually for twenty years.
After his retirement from the bench
he devoted his time to the practice
of law and in looking after his large
land possessions which, he had ac-
quired in his earlier years.
Judge Latty was man endowed
with a fine sense of honor and justice.
He had no use for man upon whose
word he could not rely. He was a
great student, thoroughly versed in
legal lore and reliable authority on
ancient and modern history. The
last prominent public position he
held was in the capacity of Canal
Commissioner, where his services
were of unusual benefit to the State,
owing, in q great measure. to his
early knowledge of the Ohio canal
system.
For the past few years, on account
of declining health, he has paid but
little attention to the practice of law,
but his wise counsel was often sought
by his old acquaintance who long
ago had occasion to appreciate his
native ability, and the safety OF MS
legal propositions.
Judge Latty was twice married.
His wife and three children survive
him, Mrs. L. b. Peaslee, Miss Clara
Latty and Mr.. Edwin Latty, all of
this city. Several grandchildren and
other near. relatives also mourn his
death.
His last illness was not considered
more dangerous than other attacks
he has suffered. He was confined to
his bed only a few days and the dis
ease which carried him away was an
acute attack of Inflammation of the
bladder.
If he had lived until June 80 of this
year he would have been eighty
years old. 4-ss-s.
He was a good man and the entire
community deeply regret his death.

Don't Hoard.

May be you have been
scared by the way gold has
been drawn from the Treasury
and shipped abroad and have
put your money into an old
stocking or under a tumbler
on the top pantry shelf. Had
you not better invest it in
goods when they are SO cheap?
1t is very singuler how peo-
pie get scared into taking their
money out of sold Napoleon
banks, where it earns some
thing, and put it in some fan,
cied secure place in the house
and lie awake nights fearing
visits from festive burglars
who may pop out Of some
closet or from under the bed
and by threats, accompanied
by a revolver that under the
circumstances looks like a
Krupp cannon, compel the
shivering victim to lead the
way to their safety deposit" !"
There were three cases noted
last week Of burglars in other
towns robbing hale and hearty
people of all they had SO care
fully hidden. In one case
they made the husband dance
on a table keeping time to
their chopping at his toes with
knives; in another they cut
little pieces out Of the arms
and limbs, possibly to keep as
souvenirs; and in another they
actually forced a young mar
ried man to eat piece Of pie
his wife had made. Torture
could hardly go farther. Sen
sible folks keep their money
right in banks where it is safe
and do not add to the finan-
cial troubles by locking up all
the loose coin at home to wor-
ry over. Our banks are per-
fectly safe, and it is all folly to
horde your money in some
out-of-the-way place in your
home. Don't do it. Some
genius for figures, mathmeti-
cal, says: "The money lost in
this country since its inception
does not amount to one cent
per capita" We've put our
one cent into circulation and
if you'll do the same money
will be easy here. Just re-
member when you stuff your
money into that old hottie OF
under the corner Of the spare
. room carpet, that if others dc
the same your husband, father
or sweetheart will soon be
minus a place. IT'S the circu-
lation Of money that enables
employers to do business and
pay employees. Saving is to
be commended up to a certain
point, but to be miserly and
hoard "turns ones soul into a
hard substance that only the
fires Of the other world car
melt" I'VE try to enable you te
be economical without sacrificing any
comforts, and the thousands who
leave their dollars at our store know
they get more than their value in re.
turn. Spring is here, and your home
needs fixing up. Your walls need
new paper and the inside and outside
woodwork of your house need q lit.
tie paint, to brighten them up. ,Oul
wall paper department is chock full
Of bright and stylish patterns, mucl
finer than ever before. And then the
prices are SO ridiculously low that
even the poorest in purse can beauti
fy his home Our paint and oil depart
ment is also restocked for the spring
trade, and it will be found to contain
everything in the line Of paints, oil
and varnishes.
