Death of Henry Cary.

On Thursday of last week when it
became known that Henry Cary was
dead, sorrow hovered over the entire
community, and many were the ex-
pressions of regret and sympathy
for the bereaved mother and sisters.
For five weeks Mr.. Cary had been
lying sick at the home of his mother.
At first he was taken with the jaun-
dice, and was not thought to be in
any danger, but the disease culmina-
ted in catarrh of the kindeys and
stomach, from which he died after
suffering untold agony. All that
human hands and hearts could do
was done for him, but disease had its
sway and the young life was cut
down in its youth. He was born in
Napoleon on the 18th of March, 1874,
making him aged at the date of
death % years, months and % days.
He was the only son of the late Capt.
Henry +. Cary, and leaves a wild
owed mother and two sisters to
mourn his early departure.
The deceased was one of promi
nent young men of Napoleon, indus
trious and respected. He was mem.
ber of Co. f, 10th Regiment and
prominent K. of P, both of which
organizations largely attended his
funeral, which was conducted under
their supervisor, Rev. NJ. L. Dona
key conducting the religious services.
The funeral was held on Sabbath
and was one of the largest ever held
in Napoleon. The floral display al
his home, tokens of love and respect
from friends, relatives and those to
whom the deceased was bound by
society ties, was beautiful in the ex
treme, and showed with what es
teemed he was held by those who

1t is quite difficult sometimes to get
good truss or supporter which will
hold you in any and all positions.

antee them to give satisfaction in
every particular. They also have
complete assortment of female sup
porters and shouler braces, which
are the best made and the prices as
low as you can find them anywhere.
Those who desire anything in this
line will not only find everything in
the line of trusses and supporters at
this house, but they will actually
save money if they will take the
trouble to investigate this stock be-
fore buying anywhere else. ReInem-
ber that Saur & Balsley guarantee
their trusses in quality and in hold
ing the rupture safely.

Prisoner Released.

On complaint of Miss Nora Pennel
Josh. Lesher was arrested Monday
upon the charge of attempted rape.
The girl is 10 years of age and is a
daughter of John Pennell, the young
man a grandson of Uncle John Fahr-
niger, all of Liberty township. 1t
seems the young couple were out
buggy riding Sunday night, when the
attempted indecency is said to have oc-
CURED. The case was heard before
Squire Fisk Monday afternoon, when
the evidence adduced was found not
to be sufficient to hold the young man
to the grave charge, and he was dis
charged. NJ. Donnelly appeared for
the defense, while J. P. Ragan and
Jas. Donovan were on the side of the
young lady. The case attracted con-
siderable attention, Squire Fisk being
compelled to adjourn his court from
his office to the Common Pleas Court
room in order to accommodate the
crowd.

DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.
Young Boy SmOthered in a Grain
Chute.

A most deplorable and distressing
accident occurred at Grand Rapids
on Tuesday of last week, in which
the fifteen year old son of Newton
Brown lost his life
The particulars of the accident are
as follows: Young Brown with a
number of companions was playing
in and around the grain elevators,
one of their amusements being
jumping in and out of grain vat.
At the time the employees at the ele-
vators were loading cars with oats,
and had cautioned the boys to desist
from their amusement as there was
danger of being sucked into the
chute and smothered. The men
even went so far as to drive the boys
out and away from the vat, but
young Brown returned and renewed
the amusement of jumping in and
out of the vat. He tried it once too
often, and was sucked into the chute,
and while help was near, and an ef-
fort made to pull him out by the
hands, which were visible when the
cries of the boys brought assistance
it was without avail, and the boy
SINK out of sight. 1t was then thai
u hole was cut into the lower part Of
the chute, through which the body
was rescued.
1t was just nine minutes from the
time the boy was sucked into the
chute and his body rescued. but life
was almost extinct. The physician,
who had been summoned, was on the
ground when the boy was rescued,
said the heart fiuttered perceptibly
four or five times, but the boys
mouth, nose and ears were choked SC
with oats that resuscitation was i'm
possible and the young life was given
up.
The victim was a bright young boy
the idol of his parents, and loved by
the entire community. His tragic
death cast gloom over the entire
neighborhood, and is sad warning
to his young companions against
practicing such dangerous amuse
ment.

Criticized,
Spread of the Electric Light Roach.

What is now called the electric light bug
was first seen in Chicago, the city that uses
more electric lights than any other in
America, and that was one of the first to
use them generally. These bugs are now
positive nuisance there. Millions of
them lie on the sidewalks Of the main
Streets to be crushed under the feet of the
pedestrians. A great many fall upon their
backs and lie in that position, wriggling
their feet in vain eIdeavors to turn over.
The others are almost as helpless. They
seem to have stunned or crippled them
selves by flying against the lamp globes.
The spread of this pest has been very won
derful. They were first noticed in Chicago
only two years ago, yet today they are be-
ginning to be seen in Cleveland, Buffalo
and Boston and are very numerous in such
summer resorts as Asbury Park, Atlantic
City and Long Branch. They are roaches
apparently of the same genus as tho cock
roach but larger, 1atter and of the color
OF glue.-NeW York Sun.

Slander Suit.

Clarence r. Belts has entered suit
against John Buehrer in the common
pleas court claiming $1,000 damages
for slander. Both parties are from
Ridgeville township and are con-
nected with the public schools of
that township, Belts being teacher
and Buehrer one of the Board of Di-
rectors. Belts claim for damages is
based on words uttered by Buehrer
at a Board meeting held June 18th,
1896. In speech on that date Mr.
Buehrer said "Betts is not man
of good moral character and he
will now have to prove the assertion
before a Judge and jury.

Taken by Surprise.

Saturday being my forty-t first natal
day and the fourteenth anniversary
of my great suffering, dear Junior
League with our benevolent pastor
Mr.. Williams as leader, and other
dear friends, came to my secluded
room and strewed my bed with flowers,
cheering me with loving remem-
brances, song, prayer, smiles and
sunshine which beamed from their
loving faces, all of which l value
highly, and l thought as each one
lay down the flowers of the Master
stopping down-on each head to
place a crown, that the crown be
studded with stars in memory of this
days service. There are many dark
places to tighten, many sad hearts to
cheer. 1t is these friendly acts and
the christian sympathy which rob
wealth of its power, extracts the
bitter from the cup of sorrow and
opens wells of gladness in our hearts.
We do not always see the golden
links shining in the chain of human
events, but they are there and will
some day be revealed.
Thanks seem like cold and for,
nal word to say in return, but please
accept such as coming from true
heart, with love and best wishes in
return. MRS. E. A. CAMERON.
