Very many Perrysburg people are
somewhat slow TO make repairs TO side
walks and it will probably continue so
until after the village has been compel
led to pay heavy damages. This,
is very unjust, as some OF our citizens
are very careful about keeping their
walks in good repairs, while others are
never willing to do anything in that
line if they can possibly avoid it, and in
case OF damages against the village, the
citizen who does his duty and repairs
his walk must pay his portion of the
damages Just the same as the one who
neglects his duty. The attention of
our village council is respectfully CALI d
to the many walks that are actually in
dangerous condition, with the hope
that improvements may ordered at once.

The history OF the candidacy of Hon.
E. w. Poe proves that a personal cam
paign for the gubernatorial nomination
is not the best way to win yotes.-Tole-
do Blade.
What does the history of the candi =
dacy of Judge. Doyle prove? Does it
not prove that although the Blade put
forth its greatest efforts, and the Judge
made II "dignified campaign" and had
it published that he was backed by the
solid vote OF his county, that he actual
ly failed to be honored by single del
egate? And that he didn't haye sense
enough to let go after his defeat, but
organized little corporal's guard that
went down to the convention to work
the dignity" racket, and were made
objects OF ridicule and sympathy for
making such spectacle of themselves:
We would suggest that the Blade would
do we'll to look up the "history of the
candidacy" of Lucas county's candidate
before 1t worries too much about our
Ebenezcr Poe who WAS honored with q
solid vote from his own county to say
the least.

The Sentinel feels terribly worried
because few OF the citizens and one OF
the newspapers haye actually told the
truth and admitted that their water
supply is inadequate and that the
water works had been pumping water
from old quarries and any other hole
wherein little moisture had accumu-
lated. According to the Sentinel's
rules no one should tell the truth when
it relates to iacts concerning any of the
numerous disadvantages of residence
in Bowling Green, but the truth will

Improved Electric Car Service.

The Toledo s. Maumee Valley Rail-
way Company have now improved their
service that citizens living in Perrys-
burg and Maumee City desiring to
spend the evening in Toledo, can take
car at u o'clock, midnight, and arrive
at Maumee at l2:45 and at Perrysburg
at o'clock a. m, and citizens of Tole-
do who may desire to spend their eve
nings in Perrysburg or Maumee can do
so up to 10:45 p. m. arriving in Toledo
at II o'clock. midnight.
This schedule about annihilates the IL
miles intersecting and will give the
citizens of Perrysburg and Maumee
about all the advantages to be had by
living in Toledo proper. To get the best
advantage of this one wants to look
over their new fare list, which states
that one can purchase 26 round trip
tickets for $500 good for all time and
with the stop over privileges, and good
for any member of the family, or all
members of the family to use. This
makes the tickets less than 20 cents
the round trip.
If parties don't feel like investing so
much at one time they can purchase a
book OF ten round trip stop oyer tickets
for 1925, making the trip to cost them
22l cents.
Persons who wish to use tickets con-
secutively for 80 days can do better
than this. For $500 they can pur-
chase = book containing 80 round trip
stop over tickets, making the cost less
than II cents for the round trip. This
very low rate is made to induce families
to locate in and about Perrysburg and
Maumee City who do business in To-
ledo.
The little additional cost for car fare
over city traffic should be overcome by
living among the most beautiful seen
cry to be found in Ohio, to say nothing
of health giving qualities of such ID
beautiful ride morning and evening.
With these advantages at our doors
we can almost feel our own improve
ment, and there is no good reason why
from this on our city should not grow
better and more beautiful.
This is the wedge which should
split asunder some of the old time ideas
of doing things, and widen not only our
boundaries but bring with it other ad
yantapes sIch as IN tO the Drasent WE
could hardly hope for in the way ol
light, water, etc. All will soon be
within our reach. Let us be prepared
for it and lend helping hand.

THE TEXAS BOUNDARY CASE.
A Special Report to Congress by the
Attorney General.

Special Report to Congress by the
Attorney General.
The Texas boundary case. involving the
title to an immense territory of great value,
has been argued and submitted in the United
States Supreme Court and will probably be
decided during the present term. The At
torney General has made a special report on
this case to Congress, in which he says:
"Twenty-four hundred miles of land are
involved, lying between the forks of the Red
river of Natchitoches and east of the one
hundredth meridian of longitude. This ter
ritory has come to be known as Greer coun-
ty' because of the attempt of Texas to or
ganize it as a county pending her contro-
versy with the United States concerning its
ownership. The controversy depends on the
meaning of the treaty of 1919 between Spain
and the United States fixing the boundary
line between the two countries, which treaty
was in turn adopted by treaties of the United
States with Mexico and with Texas. The
treaty describes the line as running up Red
river to the one hundredth meridian. Texas
claims that when the forks of the river are
reached the line should follow the north
branch. The United States claims that it
should follow the south branch.
I'm spite of proclamations by President
Arthur in, June, 1884, and by President
Cleveland in December, 1887, Texas has en-
couraged settlements in this territory, and
IL the decision shall be in favor of the United
states the QueSuOn VIII arise Wnetner Con-
gress should wholly disregard the claims of
settlers, as 1t will have an undoubted right
to do, or provide legislation by which they
may be protected upon making reasonable
payment for the land occupied.
THE case was under the sole charge of
Mr.. Edgar Allan, special counsel for the
United States acting under the supervision
of the Attorney General, down to the time of
its argument He has devoted much time
and labor to its preparation, and shown
great diligencesand capacity therein

A colored woman named Nettie Mason sat
in a photograph gallery this morning, but
she did not look pleasant when the photog-
rapher said ready" Nettie did not have
her picture taken for her friends, but did so
because she was compelled to do SO by the
police, and now her face will be seen in the
rogues gallery. Until yesterday she was
employed as domestic in the house of Mrs.
Waters at No. IS l street northeast One
of the boarders in the house was sick yes
terday, and under some alleged false repre-
sentatlon she got possession of the patient S
poke tbook, which contained 81. Another
pccketbook, which contained Sill, also dis
appeared, and with them went Nettie.
Later in the afternoon Precinct Detective
Hartigan and Policeman Bean found Nettie
in company with Lizzie Dixon, and both of
them had been drinking. Nettfe denied the
charge, but the circumstances against her
were so strong that she was locked up.
Judge Miller heard the case this morning.

BUILDING MATERIALS.
Interesting Experiments Made to De.
termine Their Relative Values.


From the Boston Journal of Commerce.
Experiments have lately been made in
Vienna to determine the efficiency of various
building materials in resisting fire, and in
especial the protection afforded by these, to
iron work. For this purpose an iron column
was constructed, consisting of two channel
lars 51sx2 3-4 inches, braced together by lat
ticc work, and having placed in the space
between them various alloys melting at tenn
peratures between $50 and $50 degrees F.,
this being surrounded by brick work in
mortar, forming a pier some eighteen inches
square. This column was loaded with suff1-
cient weight to cause a stress of three and
a quarter tons per square inch on the iron
work. and placed in brick chamber twelve
by eight feet in plan and eleven and one
half feet high. Fuel was distributed over
the floor of this chamber to a depth of three
feet, fired for two and one-half hours. and
then eXtinguished The next day, when the
heat had sufficiently subsidized to allow an
examination it was found that although
the edges OF the briCkwork were crumbled
to the extent of one and a half inches, the
iron column was uninjured, and only the
test bar, fusing at $50 degrees F., showed
any signs of melting.
