"Finnegan's Courtshipn is the happy
title of the new comedy the comedians
Murray and Mack are using this year.
ana it is promised Il worthy successor to
their former Successes. Like it's prede-
cessors it has II well defined plot, is brim-
tul of new business with IL corresponding
accompaniment of songs, dances and COS.
TUNES. Another feature seldom seen with
migratory farce-comcdy is IL complete
equipment of scenery, the action and bus
mess OF the piece making it absolutely
necessary The piece is in three acts. the
first being the dining room of Mrs Ho.
gan; the second the beach at Coney Is
land where nearly all the spcciates are
introduced the third represents the back
yard of the Hogans. where Hogan and
Finnegan have Il duel Finncgan having
secured II bullet proof coat is happy in
the belief that he has a cinch on Hogan,
but ut the last minute Hogan repents and
says he won't kill Finnegan, but will only
wound him by shooting him in the legs,
finnegan's bullet proof coat don't cover
his lower limbs, consequently the fun is
fast and furious, and of course the duel
has happy ending. Murray and Mack
will introduce their well known special
ties and two bran new ones.
We are now in our new quarters.

NAPOLEON RIGHT ON 1T.
ANOTHER COAL ROAD.
Project to Build Road From
MuskegOn to FOstOria.

The Blade of Friday says dis
patch from Allegan, Mich, says: ''Dr.
c. j. Dove, of Muskegon, is trying to
work up a scheme with, Muskegon
and Fostoria, o., capitalists to revive
the Coldwater railway project, his
idea being to open up the Ohio coal
fields to Muskegon and Wisconsin.
He wants these men, as well as mon
eyed men alongthe route, to organize
a company, reclaim the road-bed and
right of way and speedily push the
road to completion.
During 1870 the road was project
ed ard graded as far as Allegan and
rails We're laid part of the way
through Wood county, o. Much of
the road-bed has been reclaimed by
the farmers, but the right of way is
intact and owned by a Pennsylvania
company. The line from Allegan to
Muskegon could be built at compare
lively little expense"
The proposed line, if it should be
built, will be noticed, would pass
very close if not through Toledo. But
1t is scarcely possible that the Penn
sylvania would be willing to give up
any rights it now has to the right
of Way,

Unparalleled Success.

Among the noted professional men
of this country who have achieved
extraordinary success is DIR. France,
President Of The France Medical In
stitute, Nos. 3S and 40 West Gay
street, Columbus, Ohio. In 1886 he
established the France Medical In
stitute for the treatment of all forms
of chronic, nervous, nasal, throat
and lung diseases. He associated
with himself a full corps of eminent
physicians and surgeons of the most
eminent qualifications and mature
experience. These specialists employ
only such courses of treatment as are
erGctly adapted to each individual
case. They have restored hundreds
of people to perfect health that had
been given up as hopeless, not only
by the home physicians, but also, in
many instances, by those considera-
bly, renowned as specialists. By re-
quest of many friends and patients,
DR.. France has decided to visit Ma

SURVEYOR APPOINTED.
But Commissioner and Recorder
Holds Fire.

The county commissioners ap-
pointed w. o. Hudson on Saturday
County Surveyor to fill the interim
of eight months, or until the first
Monday in September next, when
his term of Office commences to
which he was elected last fall. This
was made necessary on account of
the law changing the date of the
commencement of the official term
of Surveyor.
The appointment of Commission
er to serve until the third Monday in
September, the first term of Com
missioner Burr having expired on
the 1st Monday in January still holds
fire, Judge Cuff holding that no APP
pointment can be made. under the
law until the appointing board is
full-the board consisting of Probate
Judge, Auditor and Recorder.
AS we have no Recorder, the Com
missioners failing to appoint one for
the eight months, or until the first
Monday in the coming September, Mr..
Hanna's term having expired, the
board has but two members. In the
appointment of a Recorder Mr.. Refs
er voted for Hays and Mr.. Hill for
Hanna, and that is the condition of
affairs at tho hour of going to press.
Our Democratic. officials had better
pull themselves together and break
the dead lock.

Death of a Former Resident OF
this County in Fort Scott, ka.

The body of Mr.. Geo. Frease was
brought to Napoleon an Saturday
from Fort Scott, Kansas, for burial.
Mr.. Frease was formerly an old resi-
dent of Henry county, having re-
sided on his farm near Okolona Tor
many wears, previous to going west
some few years ago. His general
health had not been good for some
wears, although he managed to make
a visit to his old home in Henry coun-
ty during the past summer, taking
much delight in again shaking hands
with his old friends.
George Frease was born in Somer-
. set county, Pa, on Aug. 20Gn, iolS,
and was son of John and Ellzapeth
Grease who settled in Summit coun-
ty. Ohio, where his parents lived un-
til they We're gathered to their tatn-
ers. He came to Napoleon in the
wear 1913. his sister Hannah Mrs.
Brew coming with him. His two
brothers followed them in 1852, and
another sister in 1854, and h1s
brother. b. f., in 1859. He was mar
ried in Summit county, o., in 1885 to
Miss Elizabeth Willard, sister OF the
late Capt. Willard. To their union
eight children were born-Daniel W.,
Winfield and John H. now living IN
Napoleon. He purchased his farm
near Okolona in 1S43, which was
then canal lands, he paying - an
acre for it. In early life Mr.. Frease
was engaged in surveying, but most
of his days were spent upon his farm.
In Sept. 1889. he lost his estimable
wife. He lived about three years
afterpthe death of his wife with one
of his grandchildren on the old
homestead. He then went west and
made his home with one OF his
daughters, residing in Ft. Scott,
Kan, at which place he was living
at the time of his death. He was the
father of eight children, three sons
and five daughters. The thre e sons
and two daughters survive him.
The funeral took place Sunday al
ter noon, from the residence OF his
son, Daniel w. Frease, interment IL
the Brey burying ground near Oko
Iona. Mr.. Frease was in the Saith yeal
of his age at death.

Death of John Diemer.

Early Thursday morning last,
death came to the relief of our fellow
citizen, John Diemer, who had been in
ill health for long time. Mr.. Diemer
was one of the respected citizens of
this community and one of our prin-
cipal business men for many years,
although he has not been in active
business for few years, on account
of failing health. Mr.. d. served his
country during the war, and no
doubt it was in tie service that i'm
pared health was contracted. He
leaves an invalid wife and large
family of children to mourn his de-
parture. He was 5S years and II
mouths old at the time of his death.
The funeral took place from st.
Augustine's church on Saturday
morning, Father Puetz delivering an
impressive sermon, when all that
was earthlyof the deceased was laid
to rest in the Catholic cemetery
south of town. Peace be to his ashes.

Death of Mrs. Jennie Patrick.

Jennie Patrick was born June, 2,

Born--lived-died, and If we add

we have briefly outlined life. She
came, fingered a short space OF time,
then was not, for "God took her.
Just after the ushering in of the
New year Jennie closed her eyes to
scenes earthly, to open them to be-
hold Him, whose birth angels had so
gladly announced 1900 years ago:
and who, true to his promise, came
again TO receive her unto Himself,
that where He is. she may be also.
Jennie, wife of Adolphus Patrick,
had been sick for long time of that
dreaded disease, quick consumption,
but her days upon earth were num-
b cred few after the death of her lit
tie daughter, who died last spring.
She loved her little daughter most
dearly, and from the hour of her
death it seemed as though she longed
to be with her at rest in heaven, for
from that time on she slowly pined
away, until death relieved her from
all earthly suffering on the afternoon

Mrs. Patrick, nee Jennie Hoskin-
son, was member of the first class
graduated from the Napoleon Union.
schools.
She was an Idolized wife, fond
mother, and her sad death will leave
void in the circle of a family that
can never be filed in this life, but
there is consolation in the hope that
a reunion can take place in that bet
ter land, where the mother has fol-
lowed the little daughter. Mrs.
Patrick leaves behind her broken
hearted husband and three children,
who will mourn her as one gone be-
fore.
The funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon from the family residence,
Rev. Sykes, of Toledo, officiating, &C
cording to the Episcopalian service.
The remains were laid to rest in the
old Patrick family burying ground
in Liberty township.
