THE UMPIRE STOLE THE GAME.

They waited at the city gate, =
Nor spake they any word. a
The multitude gazed anxiously
And scarcely breathed or stirred.
Bethought they not of heat or sun
Though strongly beat it down.
But waited there with anxious hearts
The people Of the town.
Assembled were the burghers proud
And with them ladies' fair,
And by the side of these the poor,
For every one was there.
The high, the low, the young, the old,
Who came in rags or state,
Together in that fateful hour ;
They waited at the gate.
And suddenly mighty shout
From a hundred throats arose,
And thrice a hundred throats the cry y
Take up, and on it goes,
Swelling a mighty chorus then,
The clamor fills the way,
As all the multitude exclaims:
"They comel They comel 'Tis theyi"
Afar upon the highway now
A figure is deserted,
"Alone?" All eyes are strained. "Alone
With no ono by his side.'
And near he comes until they see Z
He walks with faltering feet
And dropping head, nor rise his eyes
The multitude to greet.
"What bodies itH" cry the burghers;
Thus cry the ladies fair,
Likewise the poor and all Of those
Who are assembled there.
flushed again their voices all,
With faces blanched they wait
And hang upon the lips of him
Who stands within the gate.
Thrice tries the man word to say,
And tries he yet again.
Three times his quivering lips do part,
Three times they part in vain.
At last he speaks, and, speaking low,
He tells the city's shame;
Those near him only heard him gasp,
''The umpire stole the game"
In Edinburgh on Flodden's day
All hearts were filled with woe
At thought of battle hravely fought
And lost, and yet trow
That grief was not to be compared
To what to Leesville came,
When from tho Liver Eaters
The umpire stole the game.

united in marriage at the home of

package of Sunlight yeast, at the
popular and well known grocery of

Use it in Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal pas
sages, affecting eyes, ears and throat,
and is in fact, the great enemy of
the mucous membrane. Neglected
colds in the head almost invariably
precede catarrh, causing an exces-
sive flow of mucus, and ifthe mucous
discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results of catarrh will
follow, such as bad breath, severe
pain across forehead and about the
eyes, roaring and buzzing sound in
the ears and oftentimes a very often
sive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm is
the acknowledged cure for the these
troubles.

new R. R. THE LIMA NORTH
ERN.
NAPOLEON WANTS 1T AND
WILL GET THE ROAD.
An Important North and South
Line.

The Lima Northern Railroad is a
line which is being built from Lima
to Adrian, Mich. The line connects
with Lima Southern, which taps the
great Jackson coal fields.
The road is now under contract
from Lima to Ottawa and is to be
finished to the crossing of the B.
Il o. by Dec. 1st. From Ottawa the
line will extend to Glandorf, Holgate,
Napoleon, Wauseon, Lyons, and on
to Adrian, Mich, providing the nee
essary aid and right of way is
furnished the Co. If this is not done,
the line will pass to the East of us.
The Hon. J. b. Townsend, of
Lima, has been in Napoleon for a
few days during the past week, and
he has given our citizens to under
stand that Napoleon will get the
new road if the proper aid will be
furnished. that is subscription of
of $35, 900 and right of way through
Henry county. An obligation has
been given by the citizens of Napo-
leon that this will be done and it
now devolves upon the residents of
Napoleon and vicinity to raise the
amount, which can be done if all put
their shoulders to the wheel and give
what aid they can to the enterprise.
Napoleon has been given but a
short period of time in which to raise
the amount, and it now behooyes
our citizens toeact at once in putting
up the money and right of way.
Citizens cannot afford to see this
important railroad line goto the East
of us. We must secure it, for our
future prosperity depends upon it.
In getting this for Napoleon it will
be the nucleus around which other
Improvements will center in our little
city.
Citizens should subscribe literally,
and no one should refuse to help
along the good work.
